Grey-out Txtbox

Mar 30, 2006

I have a form that has several fields that a user will enter data. When finished, the data is inserted into a table. Works great. What I want to do now is look at one of the fields entered and if it is equal to a certain value, I want to disable one of the other text boxes (fields) on the form AND pop a screen that will allow the user to enter a list of names that will update a different table.

So, if user inputs a directory name GENERIC, the txtScriptName box needs to be disabled/greyed-out and I need a form to pop so the user can put in a list of script names. If any other directory name is entered, the txtScriptName box needs to remain editable. (For directories equal to GENERIC, there will be multiple script names instead of just one)

I've been successful at getting the form to pop if GENERIC is entered but can't figure out how to grey-out the txtScriptName field. I tried using Me.txtScriptName Locked in the Before Update of the preceding field but it didn't work - could still update the txtScriptName field.

Any other sugestions?

Thanks!
Mary

Grey Box Inside The Checkbox

Oct 13, 2006

I have a checkbox that has a grayed out box inside of it. What causes this/ what is it? I looked up the record and there should be a checkmark in the box. In the table it is set to have one.

I know that if the prefeances of Enables is set to No then all of the check box and the text label box is all grayed out, But in my case it is only the inner part of the box…. (And it is a Checkbox…)

The box name is ABC1 and it just reads the record, that’s it... It is used for reports later down the road. So there is not any code set to this check box.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Cascading Combo Box - Grey Out If No Options

Aug 1, 2006

I have a form with two cascading combo boxes. The options available in the second box depend on what is selected from the first.

Some of the selections which can be made in the first box do not have any options to be selected in the second box and so it currently just pops down empty.

Is there a way that I can make the second box "greyed out" if there are no options for it?

Thanks,

Gary

Odd Query Problem Giving Me Grey Hairs.

Mar 10, 2008

I have a query that updates a field on a table with the value in another field. When I run the query from the Access control panel, the query does exactly what it should do, 100% perfect. When I call the query using DoCmd.OpenQuery in VBA in an OnClick function on a form, it does not work properly, only appending certain amounts of information, leaving some fields blank.Can anyone shed some light on this.the SQL for the query is:UPDATE tblHolding SET tblHolding.CostGRV = [tblHolding]![OrderCost]WHERE ((([tblHolding].[Item Code])=[tblHolding]![Item Code]));It populates another field in the same record in the same table as itself.tblHolding is populated by a Subform on the Form that has the button that calls this query when clicked.Hope I am making sense.

Close Form Leaves Grey Space

Oct 23, 2005

Hopefully just a simple one??? I am using a popup form to input data into a display form which is on one page of a tabbed control. The display form updates through an afterupdate requery command. This all seems to work OK but when I enter the new record via the popup form then close it, it leaves a greyed out space and I lose input ability. I need to close down and when opened up all records are OK. If I drag the popup box on the screen it leaves a grey trail behind it. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks

Select Between (Date) AND In TxtBox

Jul 4, 2005

Hello,

I'm trying to make a report query work but with no succes so far. Can anyone please help me?
I've got a multiselect listbox and a txtbox (txtCursisten) where the results from the multiselect listbox appear.
I want to get the results out of a table (tblAbsentie) where I can set a start and end date AND use the people selected in the txtBox. So far I've got a NOT working query, a report based on the query and a button on my form.

The VB code behind the "show report" button is this:

Private Sub cmdAbsentiePerCursistPerPeriode_Click()

On Error GoTo Err_cmdAbsentiePerCursistPerPeriode_Click

Dim db As Database
Dim Q As QueryDef
Dim sql As String



If IsNull("Me.txtCursisten") Or Me.txtCursisten = "" Then
Exit Sub
Else

Set db = currentdb()
Set Q = db.QueryDefs("qryAbsentiePerCursistPerPeriode")
Q.sql = "SELECT tblCursist.Naam, tblAbsentie.Datum, tblAbsentie.Lesuur, tblAbsentie.AantalLesuren, tblAbsentie.Deelkwalificatie, tblAbsentie.Docent, tblAbsentie.Gemotiveerd, tblAbsentie.Reden, tblAbsentie.Status, qryCountLesuren.SumOfAantalLesuren" & _
"FROM (tblCursist INNER JOIN qryCountLesuren ON tblCursist.OVnr=qryCountLesuren.OVnr) INNER JOIN tblAbsentie ON tblCursist.OVnr=tblAbsentie.OVnr" & _
"WHERE (((tblAbsentie.Datum) Between [Voer begindatum in] And [Voer einddatum in]) AND ((tblAbsentie.OVnr) In ("Me!txtCursisten"))); "
Q.Close

DoCmd.OpenReport "rptAbsentiePerCursistPerPeriode", acPreview
End If

On Error GoTo 0
Exit Sub

Exit_cmdAbsentiePerCursistPerPeriode_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdAbsentiePerCursistPerPeriode_Click:
MsgBox "Selecteer klas en cursist(en)."
Resume Exit_cmdAbsentiePerCursistPerPeriode_Click

End Sub

I get a syntax error when pressing the button. Please help...

Txtbox Ctrlsource = Query Question

Dec 14, 2006

I have a form, on the form a textbox. Through the expression builder I have assigned one value to the control source of that textbox from a query. The query holds three values, all three of which I would like to use in a separate textbox. When I open the form the textbox just displays #Name. I'm guessing since nothing is happening because the query isn't run by command yet. I've used code like this:

Private Sub AppointmentID_Click()
Forms![ClientsMain]![TechViewSummarySubForm].Form.Requery
Forms![ClientsMain]![TechViewSummarySubForm].Form.Refresh
End Sub

to get a query to open, run etc. But that one is located in a subform which has the query as a control source. How does that work in the case I have now? Can I use the DoCmd function to run the query and get a value from it for the specific textbox? Or can't I use a (segment of a) query as the controlsource of a textbox at all?

I'm asking this since now I calculate and store certain totals by use of a textbox with =Sum() as control source in the footer of a form, which values I then assign to some fields in a table.

But I would also like to learn the right way, using queries, maybe for a later version of my DB when my skills have improved. I've been struggling with this now for a bit, but without succes. So that's why I wonder if I can assign a query or more specific one value of a couple of values in a query to a textbox in a form which has a totally different control source itself.

Date Criteria From A Form's Txtbox

Aug 20, 2007

Hi all,
I have a select query that pulls in two date values from a textbox on a form.

SELECT DISTINCT Table01.SRV_NAME, Table01.IMP_CUTOFF_DT
FROM Table02 INNER JOIN Table01 ON Table02.Servicer = Table01.SRV_NAME
WHERE (((Table01.IMP_CUTOFF_DT)=[forms]![frmreport].[txtsqldate].[value]))
ORDER BY Table01.SRV_NAME;

However when I run it I get the following error message:"This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may...." but when I copy and paste the value of that txbox from the form into the query it works fine.

Can anyone see where the problem lies? I can't work it out.

Thanks in advance,
Mitch....

Validation Rule For Length Of TxtBox

Jun 27, 2005

Here's a bit of a pickle I've been trying to wrap my noodle around.

Anyone have an idea what route to pursue (unbound form, or afterupdate, etc?) to force a validation rule on the number of characters in a text box based on the value of combobox in the same form.

Example:
If cboBox1 = 840, then len(txtBox2) = 6
But if cboBox1 = 820, then len(txtBox2) = 3
And so forth?

Thanks,
~Chad

Populate A Bound TxtBox And Not Have It Update Table?

Mar 12, 2008

It's an unusual request, I know, but it's necessary for my purpose.

I have a form, frmMain that I use to update a number of tables. On it is a number of combo boxs, comProduct, comBrand, comSize, comPrice and comQuantity. comProduct opens a new form, frmNew if the users input is not already in the table. On frmNew there are again combo boxes comProduct, comBrand and comSize. This form adds the record to the table.

So, if I input a new value - not already in the database - for product in the comProduct combo box, the form frmNew appears and I can proceed to define the product, brand and size of the new record. The form then closes and reopens frmMain and tabs across to comQuantity (skipping the fields I've already defined in frmNew).

Now if you can wrap your head around that, here is the problem: Because I've already entered the values for product, brand and size in frmNew, I want them to automatically appear in the appropriate combo boxs on the frmMain form. I've been using the following code (executed from frmNew, so Me = frmNew):

Code:[Forms]![frmMain].[comProduct] = Me.comProduct[Forms]![frmMain].[comSize] = Me.comSize[Forms]![frmMain].[comBrand] = Me.comBrand

It works, but I've since discovered it creates a new record in the table so I end up with two duplicate records (one when I submit frmNew and another when the values are automatically input into frmMain.)

Now, my question: How can I display these values in frmMain without having them create the second record? I was thinking of using a SELECT query somehow, but I don't know where to begin. I also considered using labels instead of comb boxes, but I'll need to be able to edit them if the record already exists.

Queries :: Criteria Using DLookup String From Another Txtbox?

Aug 19, 2015

I have a table tblDateGroups, with two field, [Group] (like This Week, Next Week, Last Month, etc) and [Code] that holds the code for criteria for each group in a query. I know the code is fine (like next week = Between Date()-Weekday(Date())+8 and Date()-Weekday(Date())+14 ) because I tested before putting in the table.

On my form I have a combo box that list all the [Group] and i hidden textbox that looks up the code based on the cbx after update...all that is good.

However, when i try to requery the report the criteria is not working. I am simply using the date criteria to read the hidden text box with the code string.

Forms!frmMainHome!subaWelcome.Form!txtCodeForQuery .

the error code is "This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."

Changing A TxtBox To A Check Box Or Similar, Based On A Field In Db

Feb 22, 2006

Hi.

I have

Form with 3 list boxes.
1st LB populates 2nd etc.

The 3rd LB value chooses a field.
The Fieldname Table has field "Field Type"

I want to change the Text box next to the List box to this entry in the Db.

Ie. If I choose a field in the LB, say "Done?", then to update that field it needs to offer me a "yes/no" field type
Therefore it changes the TextBox to a Checkbox (or combo with Yes and No as options)

Any ideas?

"#Error" Shows Up On Txtbox Instead Of "nothing"

Aug 17, 2006

Hello friends :D

Can anyone direct me no how to get rid of the text "#Error" showing up on my form field when there's no value. This is the txtbox on my main form and it's looking up its value from another txtbox on my subform.

The main form textbox produces #error when there is no record on the txtbox on the subform. It's controlsource is: =subfrmWorkDone.Form!txtGrandTotalTime

The controlsource on the subform txtbox (where the value is wants to be gotten from is): =(Format(Sum([Timestop]-[timestart]),"h") & " Hours" & " " & Format(Sum([Timestop]-[timestart]),"n") & " Mins") and it works perfectly and simply doesn't show anything when there is no value.

How can i get rid of this #Error. It's not really an error cos it produces the value from the subfrm correctly when there's a value on the sufrm txt, when there's no value, i get the #error on the mainform (but a blank shows on the subfrm, which is what i want).

The #error will confuse any user to think my form has a problem when it really does not.

I have tried wrapping it in a ISNULL IIf and this =IIf(subfrmWorkDone.Form!txtGrandTotalTime=Null," ",subfrmWorkDone.Form!txtGrandTotalTime) but no luck. Any more ideas?
