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.

I cant get my subform to hide. Main form is called 'frm_main_add' and the subform is called 'tbl_transaction_subform'.I am rying to get it to hide the subform (tbl_transaction_subform) if a field in the main form(frm_main_add) is null but its doing nothing.....
I put this code in the 'on current' and 'on load' in the frm_main_add and nothing..If (Expense_Name = Null) Then tbl_transaction_subform.Visible = False Else tbl_transaction_subform.Visible = True

I want to password protect the second tab control page, so I'm using this code :
Private Sub TabCtl0_Change() Dim strInput As String
Dim ctl As Control ' Hide controls on tab until correct password is entered F
or Each ctl In Controls If ctl.Tag = "*" Then
ctl.Visible = False End If
[Code] .....
then to hide the controls in the first place, we do this using the Tag Property, and in the OnCurrent event of the form:
Private Sub Form_Current() 'Hide controls tagged with "*" until password entered.
Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Controls If ctl.Tag = "*" Then ctl.Visible = False End If Next ctl End Sub
The password request and events works fine but when prompting for the password it still shows the second page items and info. so basically it is not hiding the tab.. How do I fix this

Hi,
I have a command button that opens a report. The report has many subforms in it. I am sending open args which existingstewardship. I want one of the labels of the labels to be visible if the me.openargs = "existingstewardship". the code is not working. I have tried to debug when I do this I have found the open args are null and I am wondering if the open args are null is this because they were sent to the main report from the command button and the subforms in the main report do not get passed the open args.
Does anyone have any idea ? how I could make the box visible or not visible in subreport from the command button. The other option I have would be two different reports. Thanks PWF

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.

I am building a form where I would like to group fields into 3 groups, A, B & C. I know I could put all groups on their own subforms but I'd like to see if there is a way to simplify it all on one form since there aren't much fields for each group.
I would also like to hide each group when the user clicks 'hide group A' and shift Group B & C up. Then move them back to their original position when 'Display Group A' is clicked.
Same for each group. If Group B - Hide is clicked, Group C is moved up.
I've got each group tagged appropriately and I can hide/display them all properly by a For Each Control loop. Now, how to I move them all up/down a specific amount in addition to that? I would think it would be just as easy but my objects are moving by using the Grid Y property

hiding parts of a form if a option button is selected. There are two option buttons and two parts to the form. I would like each part of the form greyed out or made invisible depending on which radio option button is selected.

I search around online and did come across much info on code to how to hide fields. But, the problem is I cant seem to find a way to hide a certain amount of fields based on a number amount.
example: Lets say I have a 12 text fields to show 12 months of monthly payments, and lets say a client only has a 3 payment term. How can I list 3 under installment field and have remaining 9 fields auto hide since they wont be necessary? this way I only see what applies and not additional text fields.

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".

Code : DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
Should hide the ribbon. Instead I get a 'Variable Not Found' error.
This should be simple.

I want to use VBA to hide columns in a subform based on what is checked in a multi value look up field.
I am creating this DB for use with sharepoint as a web database, which is why I am using the lookup field to begin with. There will be a client DB to use with some VBA code
So what I have is a lookup field with tests "Test 1, Test 2, etc" on form sample.
There is a subform called results, and I want to hide certain columns based on what tests are performed.
I tried using an If Then statement (code is being run on subform load)
If Me.Parent.fieldTest = "Test 1" Then
Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = False
Else Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = True
That is basically the code I was trying to use. I am getting an error 13, which I assume is because fieldTest can not = something since it is a multi value look up field.

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??
Thanks

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?

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 :) :)

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!

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.

I have created a custom toolbar but the default (access) menu bar still appears every time I open the database. I can uncheck it under toolbars but this doesn't hold on re-opening. How do I do it?

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.

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
