enable me to run some code before a button is clicked I want to be able to click a button via VBA code.Basically I used the auto button wizard to make an add record button.To ensure a shed loads of if checks and queries on the entered form data run I wanted to make this button invisible, then make a new button running code not embedded macros to run my checking module then click.
View RepliesI'd like to create 'Exit Microsoft Access' Button.
In Command Button Wizard which action I should use to get it right? and finally in the properties should go to 'on click'?
I know how to use a callback to to action a button click directly.
But I also have a drop down list of my buttons on a form (they are dynamically created, so the details are stored in a table), I want to select a button from my drop down lists and then action the button selected.
EDIT: In short - I want to execute a ribbon button via vba knowing its Control.ID.
i want to ask is there any way to open another access database using when click button at form.. for example i have tracking.accb then at my switchboard form, i would like to have a button that can go to another access which is borrow.accb. can these possible for me to do it..?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am sending an email using SendObject. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it makes the computer freeze up with no error message. I have tried this with Outlook running or not running, seems to make no difference.
Code:
'The sub procedure below sends e-mail in response to a click on the Send button.
Private Sub SendMessagesButton_Click()
'For Access, define some object variables and make connections.
Dim myConnection As ADODB.Connection
Set myConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
Dim myRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset
myRecordSet.ActiveConnection = myConnection
[Code] ....
I have added some MsgBox () to narrow down where it crashes. It is after 'Five' and Before 'Six'. On the line:
Set appOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(eMailAddress)
I am mystified as to why it works OK sometimes, and not others. The email address being used is valid.
Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code.
The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime"
Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False"
DoEvents
Loop
When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine.
If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime.
If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.
Thanks

Is there a way to stop the controls from flickering when the timerevent fires?
What doesn't work:
Code:
Application.Echo False
Docmd.Echo False
TimerEvent on the current form
TimerEvent on a different form
Using Windows API:
Code:
Private Declare Function SetTimer Lib "user32" etc
Private Declare Function KillTimer Lib "user32" etc
Each of these events flicker the controls on my forms. The effect is worse when the form background contains a picture.
Ok if I sound like I do not know what I am talking about, that would be correct. That is why I am asking here.
So I have this form called frm_UserMaintenance
On The form I have a button
I would like to have an OnClick event that will activate one of the dialogue boxes on the tools menu.
Heres the catch. The menu is not visible and i do not want to make it visible. This makes using sendkeys a non option.
Any ideas????

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form on which I have a button that I want the user to click after a cetrain field on that form is updated.
I display a little pop-up box saying to make sure that a user clicks on that button.
Is there a way to know that this button was clicked? Is there a way to not proceed with anything else until that button is actually clicked?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have a form with a number of drop-down lists on it and each of these lists is bound to a field in a table.
When I return the results of a search to this form I want to allow users to be able to cycle through the records and change them if they want. However, the changes should only be saved if the user clicks on the "update record button". This button is simply the save record button by the MS Access wizard.
At the moment if they change the value in one of the drop down lists and move onto the next record the change is saved even though the user doesn't click any button. I want to prevent this from happening.
Any ideas on how I might achieve this?
If I prevent "AllowEdits" in the form properties I can't update the form using the "update record button" either.
Many Thanks,
Afternoon people,
Just a query (no pun intended). Is there a way to ping an ip address which is taken from a table and at the click of a button it pings? Bringing up the cmd app to show the results.
Cheers,

I currently have a form with a button that once clicked displays a word document,however I have to double click on the button even though the code is on the single click event property.The only line of code is as follows
OLEFile.Action = acOLEActivate
Does any body know how I can get the single click to work ?
Hi all....
I have a list box that I can select mulitple items from - I then click a search button and it runs a query that finds what I am looking for from a table and then displays the results in a subform.
In the subform I can input weights and get a percent....anyhow.
How do I set up a button so that it will print out a report or the report from the subform information that is currently being viewed.
Also, I can already do this by clicking a button on the form and pulling up the installed report program but, you need to input data to get this report.
I kinda want this button to be a "I need it now" type of print option.
Thanks...as always my questions are probably confusing...:D
I was wondering if there is any way to control a user's input in to a form such that data entry does not automatically create a new record. Is there any way to collect all inputs in the text/combo boxes and create the new record only when a button is clicked? Cheers, David.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn short, my goal is to automate the function that Generates a Report, saves it as an Adobe PDF file using a "selected" file name. The selected file name is the name of the project (which is included as a datafield) in my primary tabel ( a linked Excel table). There maybe an easier way than the path I have chosen, if so please let me know.
The following provides a little more detail as to what I've done and what my problem is:
As noted above, my primary table is a linked table (Excel). There is datafield in that table that has the project code (and this is the name I want my PDF file to be). As a result, I created a new query in Access to query this project code. As a result, in my Generate Report macro, I open this query and then use the SendKey function to copy the datacell (i.e., project name) so I use this later to paste. My macro proceeds with opening my Primary Report and then "print" the file. Since I've selected Adobe PDF as my default printer, it will print to a file. As a result, the "Save PDF File as" menu pops up and the file name (Access name of the Report) is highlighted. However, my SendKey command to paste the project name does not work. When the "Save PDF File as" menu is up, the primary menu (ie., that has File, Edit, View, etc.) is inactive and my sendkey command will not process. However, at this point the mouse is still active and I can manually right-click the mouse and select paste for it to work.
The question is --- is there a way to perform the right-click and paste in a Macro or SendKey function. I don't see a SendKey command that invokes the right-click.
Hi all!
I have this command button whose caption switches from update record to save record with a msgbox verifying if the person really wants to take this action. On click the user is then allowed to update the record then in theory they would be able to hit the same button whose caption now reads save record, the msg box would appear with a yes or no answer required. The code I have is putting the msg box after the user clicks the update button.
Anyhelp and/or suggestions would be most appreciated!
Private Sub cmdOpen3_Click()
stDocName = "frmSearch"
If cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Update Record" Then
If IsNull(Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject) = False Then
Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject = "frmFTMInfo"
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Enabled = True
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Locked = False
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.BackStyle = 1
Me.cmdOpen3.Enabled = True
Me.cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Save Record"
Me.cmdOpen4.Enabled = False
Me.cmdOpen4.Caption = "&Update Record"
Else
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Enabled = False
Me.FTMSubform.Form!txtFirstName.Locked = True

End If
End If

Adding Records Only On Button Click?
I am building a database with a single table of records. I have created a form to allow new entries to be made to the table in a user-friendly way.
The problem I’m stuck with is how do I restrict the addition of new records on the form? I want the new record to only be added to the table upon the click of a button, but at present if I tab through, or exit the form the record is saved anyway.
Not all fields on the form are required input so I’m thinking that validation of every field is not the way to go.
I only ever want the record to be saved if a user clicks on a button and under no other circumstance.
I've been trawling through the posts back to about page 15 so any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone!I need to call the button_click procedure for a button on a form (button1), from another form, if you see what I mean!.Basically the user opens form1. They click a button which opens form2. Once they have finished on form2 they press the close button, which is the point where I need to call the button1_click procedure on form1.I imagine it's something like this:Call Forms![frmForm1]![button1]![Click] orCall Forms.[frmForm1].[button1_Click()]But no matter what syntax I try it just won't work! They're very basic forms, with only 2 buttons on and basic commands.Any help appreciated! Thanks
