Hi All.
What I would like to do, is have a form popup when the main form is opened in my db, which will detail all the changes I have made to it since the last version (this bit is OK) and also, I would like a checkbox on the popup form, that the user can tick once they have read the details so it will not show up everytime they open the main form. (Just like the "hidestartupform" property within the Northwind Database)
I create the form and all that, but do not know how to do the checkbox so once it is checked, the form will not appear.
Hope this makes sense and someone can enlighten me and point me in the right direction?
I would like to be able to use a checkbox control to make either text boxes or forms appear when ticked, ultimately to stop a form being so untidy/to conserve space. I'd be using this on multiple occasions.
(If actioned, would it automatically shift the other controls in the form down to make space, or would it just overlap?
I am working on a database which will basically serve to be a massive Auditing Checklist. Lots of "Is this done" type yes/no questions to record, some with a comment.
Brief Description: I have many child-forms on a tab-control, each with a different heading/category of things to check for. When someone visits a store, I would like them to record their findings in this form.
In the above example, if the Floors are clean, no input is necessary. If the floors are not clean then the user ticks the checkbox and the text "Floors were not clean" should be automatically entered into the field: Cleanliness 1. The reason for this is that I wish to link the value from this field to a Microsoft Word document using mail merge for reporting purposes, and in the report it needs to state any problems in full sentences.
I have tried using this code in order to update the comment field when the checkbox is ticked, however, the problem with this is that I would have to insert code manually for every single checkbox in my forms, and I have about 150 checkboxes in total.
Code: Private Sub Cleanliness_A1_AfterUpdate() If Cleanliness_A1.Value = -1 Then 'If checkbox is checked Cleanliness_C1.Value = Cleanliness_C1.DefaultValue Cleanliness_C1.Enabled = True Else Cleanliness_C1.Value = "" Cleanliness_C1.Enabled = False End If End Sub
I have a subform that populates from a query from a table. I also have a checkbox as part of the table. If the checkbox is ticked, I don't want that record to show in the subform
I have 2 tables both linked to SQL Server 1 has policy information and the other has error information both tables are linked with the relationship policy Ref. The error table(table2) has fields Pol ref, Error_Type,error, Comments, response_comments and response_Date.
There are 25 types of error so what I have done is copy all fields from table 2 25 times exlcuding the policy ref and Error_Type but to make them relate to the relevent error I need to setup some VBA code that does an if Error1_checkbox is ticked then make Error_Type ="error1" and Error=1 else if error1_checkbox is unticked then make error_type null(blank).
Currently I have a query where the criteria is dependent on the combo boxes on my form. I would like to add checkboxes to my form which determines which fields are shown or hidden. For example if I had a checkbox for address, selecting it on my form will show the address column in my query results.
My tab name is SPA and it is the third tab in my form. I want to hide it if the AddToSPA checkbox is checked. This is what I have but I'm getting error 'Compile error: Method or data member not found"
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.AddToSPA = True Then Me.SPA.Pages(2).Visible = True Else Me.SPA.Pages(2).Visible = False End If End Sub
I have a sub form with checkboxes. Each check box represents one of the columns/fields in my query. If one of the boxes is checked, I only want the column that matches with the check box to appear. I have done some research and have came upon the ColumnHidden property.How would one do this in a macro or VBA format.
How can i do that ? If i shall write a code, in which event ?? Or can i use in Query Build option ?
I searched on internet and found some answers but they are not useful
(i found this code and updated for my report but still did not work)
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) (<- what is that ??) If Me.Skyliner = 0 Then Me.SkylinerCover.Visible = True Else Me.SkylinerCover.Visible = False End If
I there a way to determine whether or not my checkbox within a form is ticked or not dependent on another value within a field?
I have a field called 'DaysRemaining' and another check box field called 'Expired'. I want the expired checkbox to be ticked if the value within 'DaysRemaining' is '<0' and unticked if '>=0'. Is there a way i can do this within the control source of my check box?

Hi. I have sort of found an answer to my problem by this thread (Thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=20358&highlight=show+field+ticked)) but it doesn't seem to be working.
I have (amongst others) a tickbox and a combo.
Basically, I would like it so if the tickbox is ticked, the combo is enabled, and no tickbox and it is disabled.
I have been putting this code:-
If Me.Helpdesk_Call = -1 Then Me.Combo23.Enabled = False Else Me.Combo23.Enabled = True End If
on the forms onCurrent event, and then changing the onUpdate event of the combo, but is doesn't seem to work. I have tried numerous amounts of variations, but nothing seems to be working.
working through validation rules etc at the minute on my database. Have come across this one is sort of stumping me. I have a tick box in the field "Medication to be repeated" the next field after it is "Date to be repeated on". I am looking a validation rule which makes it that if the checkbox is ticked then date to be repeated must contain a valid date value.
I have 3 queries populating 3 subreports on a report, i have a checkbox on my main form i launch the report from - i reference it in a filter on the form to ignore certain error types - id like it do to the same in the queries that populate the reports
So the reports atm give - an over all count of error types, a count per person and then a breakdown on type per person
Thats all fine but id like the option to ignore one type of error (as we sometimes look at it and sometimes dont).
I want to lock an individual record when a certain check box is ticked so it can't be edited again. I've tried setting the form to read only when this check box is ticked on the form OnCurrent event, but this locked every record and I had to remove the code to untick the check box and be able to edit the record again.
I am writing the following code to check if 'Active' field in table TypeTable2 is ticked or not for records. If I write the following statement to select the records from Access table where Active is not ticked then it gives "data Type mismatch in criteria expression".
Code: strsql = "SELECT distinct EnvelopeType FROM TypeTable2 where Active='Yes'
I am having a problem with making a textbox visible on a form if a checkbox is checked on the same form. I have done research on this site and have written the code below, but I am getting a Syntax error, see yellow highlight.
- My checkbox is named: Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP - My textbox is named: Date of Current IP Admission (I have defaulted this textbox to not visible).
Here's the code I have written:
Private Sub Case_is_a_Readmission_from_WRCA_IP_to_WRCA_IP_Clic k() If Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP =true then Date of Current IP Admission.visible=true Else Date of Current IP Admission.visible=false
how to hide the the 'Details' section in my form when viewing it in Split Form. I tried to use
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Detail.Visible = False End Sub
but that just makes the Details section look blank, as oppose to not having it there at all.
have only the Form Header and Datasheet visible in the Form View of my form. Similar to the 'Contact List' form in the Contacts Template that comes with Access.
My database only has one table of data so it's not complicated.I would like to create a form that can create customisable Excel exports of the data based on set conditions and exporting only select fields. URL...I have one table of data (tblCustomers) which contains all of the fields in the box above.
I would like export the data from the table to excel showing only the fields that are ticked in the box (frmCustomReport).The check boxes are named chk then whatever the field name is eg. chkLocation, chkStatus. The labels are the names of the fields in tblCustomers. Is there a way to do this in SQL or VBA?
I have one main form with 3 tabulated sub forms. My main form consists of two fields. When the user clicks tab 2 (subform 2) or tab 3 (subform 3) the main fields should hide
I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.

hello everyone, I have a database that has only two tables and one form. There is about 100 people that will be using this system(not all at the same time), and I want to hide everything from them except the form, including the microsoft access window behind the form. if i just make the access window small and put it behind the form, that looks alright, but i don't want to have to go to everyone's computers and do that! i've already hidden everything else, i just can't figure out how to make it seem like it's a stand-alone application. Any ideas??? Thanks very much in advance *j
