Hello everyone. Over the summer i made a database. i think i may have done some locking on it so that i couldnt change it (and only use it), but now i would like to correct some errors. First off, i cant get the database toolbar to show up, and i cant use right-clicking. How do i enable right clicking and get this database to work so i can edit it.
I have my database set with pop-up forms, but I need to allow users the ability to right click on forms and view options I have set in a custom menu bar. For some reason I can't get right-clicking to work on these types of forms. Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this or if there is some sort of code I could use to do this?
I have a Category form with a products sub form so that upon selecting a category it displays the products for that category in the sub form.What i want to do is have a pop up box so that when a person clicks on the product name in the sub form it pops up saying you need to open the products form to enter new products.
I have seen this before on this forum but can't find it know that i need it. (typical :rolleyes: )
My company recently completed a fairly large website for a local travel-agency. The website runs on a MsSQL and .net platform, but (It is a big but(t) by the way) a pricing calculation database is a old MS Access 2000 application.
The users of this DB have MSA2000 installed on their computers, and the database is made with one application DB and connected tables.
My problem is that I have to make some small changes to this DB, but when I start it up, the toolbars is hidden and right-clicking is disabled. (F11 works).
I have a form which is called test and in there a have a button box. What I want to do is Disable that Button box (its not a tick box not sure if that makes any difference) after checking it...
I have a form that has several tabs and in one of the tabs, the subform is very long. When I click from tab to tab, the main form scrolls down and the list of tabs disappears. So, when I am done with entering the subform, I have to scroll up the page to see the tabs in order to click on the next tab. I am hoping if someone has an idea how to stop the main form from scroll down each time I click on a tab.
I have this form which have some text fields and CheckBox list or Option list, you fill the text fields then chose from the option list then adding the record by clicking the button.
I want to change this so that by choosing any option fron the option list it will add the record automatically without clicking the button.
Hi all, I have a query to recall all the events related to a certain employee by running a query and inserting the staff number, I then have a form showing the details of all employees; what I need is to add a button on the form that runs the mentioned query without having to insert the staff number again as the form is already showing that employee. Thanks Marco
or by putting its sql into a string and executing using CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL
i get an error message saying too few paramters - expected one
i'm fairly used to these messages which mean that in the query is a non existent or misspelt field and i find them by running the query in the query viewer and letting access highlight the missing / misspelt field
the weird part is that when i run this query as a stored object by clicking on its icon i get no error and the query does the job it is supposed to do
does anyonw have any idea why this situation could occur?
i have a subform which displays data depending on the criteria selected on the main form. I want to be able to double-click on the row in the datasheet view to pop up a form and display the selected row contents. is it possible? if so then what event do i have to code it in?
I am trying to get a form to loop through after a click the next. I have looked around in this site, and ive not found the answers im looking for. What im trying to do is I have navigation records for my form, but when I reach the last record, I would like it to loop.
I am having a problem in my one form where I have to click on the "go to next record arrow" twice before it displays the next record. (even on the "create new record" it requires 2 clicks)
All other forms I have display the next record for only a single click on the arrow.
Is there something unique in the properties of the form in question that needs to be changed so that a single click displays the next record?
Question: I have a make-table query which is runned when clicking on a button in a form. Of course after clicking the button the following notifications appear:
1) You are about to run a make-table query that will modify the data in your table (yes, no help) 2) (if the table exists) The Existing Table <<tablename>> will be delted before you run the query (yes, no) 3) your are about to paste 1 row(s) into a new table (yes, no)
How can i make it possible that on forehand all three questions are "yes", so that the user does not see these questions, but the table is filled with the relevant information and can be used?
I have several fields with text boxes and input masks. When a user clicks in these fields, it puts them in whatever position in the text box they click in. If they click to the far right, it takes them to the right position and doesn't let them type the entire date, formula, etc.
Any way to set the text box so that no matter where they click it automatically starts in the first position?
I have a startup splash screen with a "OK" button, similar to Nortwind database. The OK button works as far as opening my switchboard page. But how do I get the Splash screen to close after I click the OK button? So I can see my switchboard page.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/bubbajoe12345/workspace.jpgI've created a nice form for entering information into the record -- works for viewing the records as well. Here's the thing, in a traditional Rolodex you can somewhat see the names of nearby records. With this form as is, when using the arrows at the bottom to move around in the records, you can't really be sure how far away the name you're looking for is. See that mini table in the top left corner? I'd like to make it so that, when you click on a name there, the rest of the form changes to the corresponding information.
All of the rest of the form is linked through social security number. When a new person is chosen in the main body, all of the other tables change to reflect his information. Except for that single table in the top left corner. That table is unliked to the other tables and is merely sitting there on the form right now.
So, how can I link them such that selecting a name from that top left corner will change the person in the main body of the table (and thus change the other tables)?
While I'm asking, what's involved with turning this form into one of those Database Web Page things?
Thanks for all of your help, everyone, I wouldn't have made it this far without you.
I have a form with a list box in it which is populated by the data from a query. What I would like is that when a user clicks on one line of data so that the line goes black and the text goes white, I would like the code that when double clicked, will take you to a form with the record displaying the same data as the one that was in the list box.
E.g. The list box would be a work queue of outstanding post items to action and when a record is double clicked on, it takes you to another form but shows all of the data for that record as opposed to just the data in the list box query result.
I have a form with text boxes and after I click on the text box, the field gets grayed out. I can still read my text but I would rather it have it stay white.
A while ago I started to use the following code to list the printers installed on a computer. This is code by Wayne Phillips.
This works well, but what if instead of simply getting a big message box with all the printers listed I wanted to be able to click on a name and set that printer? How do I do that?
Code for the button:
Private Sub cmdListPrinters_Click() Dim strCount As String Dim strMsg As String Dim prtLoop As Printer On Error GoTo ShowPrinters_Err
I am new with ms Access. I am using 2013 version and stuck with "pretty" easy task.
When I create the form, the values are inserted/updated constatly as I leave the input components. However I would like to insert/update the record only when I click the button. How to do that?
Every Page has its on data source based on query, and they aren't related to Parent form or to each other. I want to set few buttons on every Page which would filter records in predefined way.Ex: one page has calculated field named [Za platiti]. It has numeric values form 0 up. I want to set one button to filter only records where field [Za platiti] is greater then 0, and other butt to filter only records where [Za platiti] is = 0. Other filters based on combo box I use regularly.
I want to force an autonumber field on a parent form to start a new record when clicking on a subform, so that value can be passed to new records in the subform. Is there a simple way to do this?
I'm using Access 2010. I have a parent form based on a query that does not have any fields intended for input but has an autonumber ID field. The subform is based on a query that finds records based on the ID field in the parent. When the parent ID field has a value it works perfectly, including adding new records in the subform. When the parent ID field is blank, though, I can add new records in the subform but the ID field does not populate.
I made a workaround by adding a Yes/No field to the parent and its query that users can click to create a new record, so the ID field has a value to pass to the subform. This works fine, but I feel like there should be a better way to do this without user clicks.
Via VBA, I've tried setting the parent form to dirty, and setting the Yes/No field to Yes, along with a variety of less likely candidates like refreshing and requerying. I've tried the above on various events including the parent LostFocus; the subform Got Focus, On Click, On Mouse Move; and the same events for control on the subform.
At this point I'm not sure whether the problem is my event choice, or the object method I'm using, or just the syntax for my control references. Or maybe this is actually more complicated than I think and sticking with the checkbox option is the best way to go.
I use a Frm1 which updates my Tbl1. By clicking on this Bt1 of the Frm1 the record is duplicated on purpose having enabled and disabled fields. While Frm1 shows the duplicated record (so it is open) I can change it and save it as needed. However the Frm1 loads having an enabled Cbo1 which normally allows the regular user to pick any value A,B,C or D.
What I would like to have is a line code under the Bt1 click event able to set the value "D" on the duplicated record only. I can not write it under the load form event because I need value "D" set on the combo only when I click the Bt1. Regular user still should be able to select between A,B,C or D when he loads the Frm1 to input a new record.
I tried Me.cbo1="D", also tried Me.cbo1.column(1)="D" under the Bt1 click event and both of them failed. What have I done wrong? How can I get it done?
