Hiding Controls

Jan 22, 2005

I know this was mentioned and dealt with in another post, but I can't seem to find it.
Basically, I have a couple of text boxes that I would like to hide, unless told to be visible by a command button.

I'm trying to do this to save space on the form.

Someone a while back had mentioned setting the height of the control to zero and also setting the control to canGrow.
I tried this on a particular field and it didn't seem to work.

Any ideas would be a total help. Thanks all.

Hiding Controls Dependant On User

Sep 15, 2005

Is it possible to hide text boxes/controls on forms dependant on the user ? I have a had a (quick) look at access security and it appears that it just enables read/write access to objects not controls on the objects.

Many Thanks in anticipation

Forms :: Hiding And Moving Controls

Nov 6, 2013

I have created a form with some boxes on it which include in their body textboxes and labels and combos. I would like to know if it is possible (or if a control exist) to group this items which are inside the box and with a simple box.visible = false to make them all non visible without tagging them or adding code with their names statically to make them non visible. Any link that shows how to move controls in the form in runtime?

I would like to hide some controls and make smaller the form and if user selects a checkbox to show these controls that exist inside a box and grow the form.

Forms :: Hiding / Unhiding Tab Controls Based On Combo Box Selection

Oct 16, 2013

I have frmIncident that has a 2-column combo box (cmbIncidentType). Column (0) is IncidentType, Column (1) is YES/NO. This combo box feeds from a Query and currently has about 15 "types" of which 4 have a "Yes" tied to them, then rest "No".There are situated on a TabControl (tabIncident) with 5 sheet tabs. If the Incident Type selected in the Combo Box has a corresponding "Yes" in Column (1) then all 5 sheet tabs need to be visible. If it is "No", then only three of the five are visible. Here it he current code I am using for the AfterUpdate event on the combo box:

Private Sub cmbIncidentType1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.cmbIncidentType1.Column(1) = "Yes" Then
pgEmerIncidentRpt.visible = True
pgNarrClose.visible = True
Else

[code]...

When I open the form is will set the proper sheet tabs that need to be visible, however once I cycle to the next record, or select a different Incident Type, even one with a "YES' in column (1), it will only show the (3) sheet tabs. I can never get it to show all 5.

In the code, the only (2) sheet tabs that need to visible = true or visible = false are shown, starting with "pg".

Hiding Fields

Aug 12, 2005

On a form, what is the best way to hide a label or text box? I'm guessing that I can do a checkbox which would work for me and just write a macro to hide on a false value?

Here's another one on this subject... But can't seem to find the answer in the "Search" Currently I am using the "Call fSetAccessWindow(0)" method.... Well, all works fine until I start getting into reports. I have read in some post of other methods to hide Access. But I have yet to find any examples of the "easier way"..... Can anyone direct me to a post or link??

Aug 16, 2005

Hi, I'm haven't much experience working with Access and I'm hoping someone out there can help me :)

I have a list of products with technical data in tables, however sometimes not all the products have the complete set of data. Is it possible to hide the cells where there is no data present when linked to a page?

Hiding Fields

Apr 15, 2005

Hi can you help. I am developing an access database for an alarm installation company. The database will consist of five tables (stock, supplier, customer, stocksupplier) all with forms.

The customer table holds data for three customer types business, private, caravan. Each customer type has different data stored for it for example the business customer has more than one contact address whereas the private has one.

The problems is on the form I do not want all the fields present as this would look a mess. Is there a way of clicking a radio button or choosing from a drop down list that would make the fields relevant to that customer type appear or grey out the fields that are not needed.

I would appreciate any help as the only alternative I can come up with is have them all on one form. I do not want separate tables as this would complicate the design. I hope this makes sense and thank you in anticipation
Kind Regards :) :)

Hiding Buttons

Mar 1, 2006

I have a database where people are entering data into in constantly. Now I was told that someone else needs to go into the database and check integrity of data entered. There are a few buttons that I don’t want a “data verifiers” to click on, but “data entry folks” should be able to. Is there any way to may be password protect certain buttons and only be visible if a password is typed or something like that? I know how to password protect a form, but that’s not really exactly what I need and want to do. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hiding Forms

May 15, 2006

Having trouble getting the code right to hide and unhide forms.

I have a main menu from which users can open other forms. When another form is opened, I want the Main Menu to be hidden, so it doesn't appear in the task bar.

For example, from the Main Menu
Me.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "Review frm", acNormal

However, from Review frm, I can't get the Main Menu to be visible again. I've tried
Forms!Main_Menu.Visible = True
but it says it doesn't exist. (Note the name of the form, Main Menu, has spaces, which is why it has the underscore between the two words. Don't know if this is relevant or not.)

Could someone tell me what's wrong with the code?

Thank you.

Hiding Data

Mar 9, 2008

Hi there (first posting on site - and an access newby too!)

I have managed to generate a report which shows me how many students undertook courses throughout the year. I have been able to put totals to my report for each intake and for each campus, and have hidden the student data on the report. However the report is many pages long as although the student data is hidden it still takes space on the page.

How can I get the report to just give me the totals of each intake and a total for each campus?

Answers appreciated.

Hiding The Important Bits

May 9, 2005

Hi,

I've developed my little database and it works a treat... now I want other people to be able to access it input info via forms (add data), and see reports and run searchs etc... all of which is done through a central switchboard menu.

What I dont want is other users getting into the setup of it all - basically i just want to hide the background workings, relationships, queries etc so nothing can be messed up...

What can i do, and how?!

bear in mind, i still want to be able to have full access myself.

Cheers

amx

Hiding Command Buttons...

Jun 22, 2005

I have a form listing clients. Each has a command button linking to another form with client details and other option. One the bottom of the form is an Add Client button. I want the user to only be able to add a max of 6 clients, and the buttons to these clients be invisible until the Add Client button is pressed and the information about the client is filled out. Then back on main form listing clients, the client name will appear with a command button that will link to client details. How can this be done? I've seen it done, but can't figure it out.

Hiding Records From Users

Sep 8, 2005

I am somewhat lost and would really appreciate your help!

I am using a database to classify newspaper articles. There are several users - and they need to be trained to the classification rules.
Waht I would like to do have is a way to let different users classify the same sources. However, the "trainee-user" should not be able to see the data already in the database. Also I would like to flag all "trainee-user" records to compare them to the original results.
My questions are thus:

How Do I hide records from a user and yet allow him to use the database (and see the stuff he entered himself)
How can I save information on a user in a table?


Thanks a lot in advance!!
BM.

Hiding Tabs On A Tab Control

Feb 7, 2008

I have on one of my forms a tab control with 5 different tabs on it. Each of the tabs has a different set of fields but all from the same table. I was wondering if it is possible to hide a tab if none of the fields on it have any data in?

So for example tabs 2 and 3 have data on them but tabs 1, 4, and 5 dont. I would want to hide tabs 1, 4 and 5.
