I designed a Data Entry interface. I wish the system can automatically clear all the values of controls in the form after users click the 'save' button.
Is there any good solution instead of manually setting each control's value to null?
I tried Undo method, but it didn't work on either control (textbox) or form itself.
Many Thanks
Can I create contents of one field based on the contents of others?
I have a database of pc systems which we've tested and was wanting to generate a single text line to identify the individual pc
The single filed would contain data from the following fields
Job Number
CPU Type
CPU Speed
RAM
HDD size
eg
So the new field would contain "Job345-P3-1000-256-20"
Can this be done?
how many elements matching to my primary elements from any records of my query and count match, if some element doesn't match then I need to add it to my primary elements, then at the end (rst.eof) count how many primary elements I have.
E.G
id colours
1 blue;red
2 purple;blue;green
3 red;violet;purple;blue
dim matching_elements as long
dim primary_elements as string
dim TheNumberOfPrimaryElements as long
First of all, if I open recordset primary_elements is empty so I need to assign a value form first record.
primary_elements = rst!colours (so primary_elements = blue;red)
Now I can start comparing my primary_elements with second record:
matching_elements= 1
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green
comparing my primary_elements with third record:
matching_elements= 3
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green;violet
It's my last record so I need to count primary_elements
TheNumberOfPrimaryElements = 5
I need "matching_elements" to count other function in my application.
As I began thinking about the data that I need to include in one of my reports I relized that I need to gather some extra data.Each design change has a lifecycle with 7 basic states from not started through to closed. States 4, 5, and 6 have two posible sub-states that I need to capture and report. It is almost like having options.
My data entry form already records the 7 basic states. What I would like to do is have another field that records the sub-states if the design change is in one of those three states.
Will a ComboBox do this?
Do I need a test routine for the After Update event in the first text box? Something that will check for states 1 - 3 and 7 move on to the next field and if states 4 -6 require users to enter the sub-state.
Would a nested if-then-else routine do the job?
Hello,
I have a query set up as the record set for a form containing combo boxes.
The form has four combo boxes with various drop downs. I have linked these combo boxes to the query using this syntax in the query:
[Forms]![frmToolStats]![cboModel_Number]
I have a preview button report on the form to load my report template to be populated with the combo selected info.
If I fill all four combo boxes with specfic info then my report displays all data records related as you would expect. For example I can select A 'Tool Type', 'Manufacturer', 'Model Number' and 'Tool Condition' and my reports will show me three test records relating to these specific parameters.
How do I set the code to allow me to complete only some of the boxes and return the records i.e. only 'Tool Type' and 'Model Number'.
I am trying to get my report to lift the data for test records for each specific tool by model number and tool condition and then do some calculations. This forms the full report.
I have tried this code:
If Not IsNull(Me![cboToolGroup]) Then
where = where & " AND [cboToolGroup] Like '*" & Me![cboToolGroup] & "*'"
End If
Can anyone help?
I have an table with attachment field in which PDF files are attached.I need Access 2013 form to display PDF file content instead of PDF icon .While record changed should display PDF content for each record navigated
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am creating a database to house all the information for a box content label. For any given product it could have multiple items that go on the label.
For example:
My_Part_1
1. Part_1
2. Electrical Assembly
3. Instructions
4. Warning Label
I imagine my database being setup as follows:
ID Model# Contents
1 Part_1 Part _1
2 Part_1 Electrical Assembly
3 Part_1 Instructions
4 Part_1 Warning Label
5 Part_2 Part_2
6 Part_2 Electrical Housing
7 Part_2 Housing instructions
8 Part_3 Part_3
9 Part_3 Instructions
I would like to setup my form so that I could type in the Model # once and then type in each item that would go in the box. I don't mind typing in each item individually and then pressing an "add" button. But I would like it to show everything that is currently on that box content label and be able to delete items out of the label.
Is this possible? What would be the best way to do this?
I have a subform with continuous records. One of the fields in the recordset of the subform is a field named "Remarks". This field does not need to be visible on the continuous subform as it is rare that this field will have any entries.
I plan to apply conditional formatting on another field (IDcardNo) in the record line of the continuous subform so that when field "Remarks" contains any data it will show as a different format on the field IDcardNo.
I would like to make a small form appear when one points to the IDcardNo field with the different format, so that the data in the field "Remarks" pops up when one points to the field IDcardNo with altered format, showing that there is data in the field "Remarks".
What I am wanting is to be able to build dynamic form content/elements based on entries on a table. This is for a gym membership system. What this form is going to be used for is to allow the front desk to scan a membership card which then performs a search on the database. Part of this search is going to be on a table that contains various add-on classes, tanning sessions, etc that a member can add beyond their base membership.
On the left side of the form, I will display a picture of the member and their name. What I am wanting to do on the right side of the form is to build a dynamic list of the add-on perks they are enrolled in.
I know I could hard program elements on the form to be visible or invisible, but that would be static and leave gaps when I have to turn things off b/c that member isn't enrolled in that class, etc.
Is this even possible with Access and VBA? I know I could do this sort of thing with a webpage using PHP, PERL or whatever. I don't know the limits of Access Forms and VBA.
I have a form, which is comprised of a sub form, and some of the text box controls sided with a button, and the event had been written to the button.
Now, to give a note on how had the sub form had been created is firstly taking a clone of the "Payments" table and using it as a datasheet, and then create a sub form in the form, it works fine
Hey all,
I have some code that looks like this to control a form;
Private Sub btnAdd_Click()
Dim UserName As String
Dim Initials As String
Dim Password As String
Dim OutlookName As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
'Check each control, is their a value? if not, set focus to control
If IsNull(txtUserName) Then
MsgBox "You did not enter a new UserName nobby!"
Me!txtUserName.SetFocus
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtInitials) Then ' return value of UserName variable;
MsgBox "You have not entered any initials for user: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'"
Me!txtInitials.SetFocus
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtPassword) Then
MsgBox "You must create a password for user: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'"
Me!txtPassword.SetFocus
Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtOutlookName) Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Outlook name for: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'"
Me!txtOutlookName.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
' Pass the variables to the table.
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(("Users"), dbOpenDynaset, [dbSeeChanges])
With rst
.AddNew
![User] = Me!txtUserName
![Password] = Me!txtPassword
![Initials] = Me!txtInitials
![OutlookName] = Me!txtOutlookName
![Level] = 1
![Select] = 0
![dummy] = Null
.Update
.Close
Set rst = Nothing
End With
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Private Sub btnCancel_Click()
' Confirm Cancellation Box
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to quit?", vbYesNo, "Caution") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.Close
Else
DoCmd.CancelEvent
End If
End Sub
What I really want to do is once the update has occured is set a label I have as hidden, to show and to clear all the controls.
Thanks,
Now I can populate text fields by selecting any one of the combo box selection.
But I need to clear the form to insert next record. Currently I am inserting record by using Save_cmd button. I can insert second record but couldnot clear all the fields after inserting automatically. So I am doing clear all the fields manually or overwriting values.
If there is anyone pl. help me.

I have a SQL Database that is housing my tables
I have an Access Front end that is Allowing users to view and edit the data residing on the SQL Database.
I have write/modify rights on the database and as such I wrote the code , OnLoad of Form, to Automatically set the Form to "Add Record", thus clearing all the TextBoxes and ComboBoxes. That works alright.
My problem is when a user without write/modify rights opens the Form I am getting an Error "Cannot go to specified Record". If I understand this right this is happening because they do not have suffeciant rights.
How Can I get a form to load and display all the textboxes and ComboBoxes BLANK....this only way I can think of is to set the form to Add Record.
ANY THOUGHTS
I've developed a form where users enter and select information that will be stored in another table. Currently when I open the form, the information I entered from the previous use is still in the text and combo boxes. Is there a way to clear this information when the form is opened (so all boxes are blank)?
Thanks!
Is there a way to clear all the textboxes on my form without having to go through and assign "" to each text box value?
Thanks

I searched the forum and couldn't find a thread to answer my question so here goes . . .
I have a form to lookup item number information. The user enters the item number and clicks on a "refresh" button to view information related to the item. Also the user can edit some of the fields using text boxes and a save command button.
I want to create a "clear" button which the user will click that will clear all of the data off the form before going to the next item. The form is bound to a table so I do not want to delete the data in the table, only clear the form. I have read that the form can be cleared by advancing to a new record. However, we do not want the user to create new records from this form. If you can tell me how to prevent the user from creating a new record, then the "advance to a new record" method could be a solution. I welcome any other ideas that you have to clear the form.
Thanks for you help,
Jeff
Hello all,
Need your help again.
I have an unbound form with text boxes and 1 check box.
I created a module named Reset;
Private Sub Reset()
[Sales].Value = ""
[Corporate].Value = ""
[EndDate].Value = ""
End Sub
1) I linked this module to a macro so that on clicking a button, the macro runs the module and closes it, but it's not working.
in my macro, I have open module: Reset
I also have clode module= Object: Module, Name: Reset
But this is not working
2) Also, how do I clear the check box?
Thanks again for the help.
I'm trying to create a search form with drop down boxes to select criteria.
I would like a "Clear Form" button that removes any data on the form to start a new search with. I have the following command in an "on click" event. But when I use this, it does clear the form. But from then on out, I get no results from my form. Even submitting the form with every entry blank, I get no results, when I know I have data in the form. I verified with my tables that the data in them didn't get deleted by using the code to clear the form.
Private Sub ClearForm_Click()
Me.[cmbNCTool].Value = ""
Me.[cmbNCDivision].Value = ""
Me.[cmbToolMaterial].Value = ""
Me.[cmbProfile].Value = ""
Me.[cmbToolType].Value = ""
Me.[cmbProfileType].Value = ""
Me.[cmbBoardThick].Value = ""
Me.[cmbMinorD].Value = ""
Me.[cmbShankD].Value = ""
Me.[cmbMaxCut].Value = ""
Me.[txtNotes].Value = ""
Me.[txtDesc].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedArksCtyVeneer].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedCorbinFoil].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedFFallsVeneer].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedFFallsFoil].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedVbrgVeneer].Value = ""
Me.[chkUsedVbrgWood].Value = ""
End Sub
From what I know, this should only clear my form, not cause it to mess with results after it's used to clear the form once. I've even deleted this line of code from my database itself and I still get 0 responses back when I search.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or is there a better way to clear a form with a button to click on?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have a search form where I enter a value and click on a command button. All records that correspond to that value are displayed (continuous form). Works fine.
However, when I exit the form and then go back in, the data from the previous search still populates the screen. The search value/field is blank, but all the previous records are still displayed. How can I clear those values everytime I enter the form (or exit the form) ?
have this code:
Private Sub
Job_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If
IsNull(DLookup("[Job Number]", "Job", "[Job Number]= " & Me.[Job Number]
& " ")) Then
MsgBox "Job Number doesn't exist Enter a job
number that already exist."
Me.[Job Number].Undo
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
It is not clearing the Job Number Field, and also it is not letting me to close the form without entering the Job number that already exist. If I try to close the form without entering the job number it gives me run time error " syntax error (missing operator) query expression '[Job Number] = '."
My data entry form has a button that allows the record to be saved. However, after saving the record, the form doesn't allow a new record to be added. The new form just sits there with the previously entered information in it. How do I go to a new record?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter informations is entered and a button is clicked to submit the information I can use the back/up arrows and page up to see what was entered even though the form is cleared. Is there something in the properties of the button that is clicked to submit that will make it impossible to see the prior users data.
It is personal information that people do not want others to see but is a public sign in computer.

I'm having trouble getting my form to be "blank" except for the labels upon loading. I've tried putting in some code "on load" but it doesn't clear everything. I haven't had this trouble on some of my other db's, the only difference here is it's a switchboard. I don't know if that matters.

Hello,
I am trying to create a command button that clears all the records in the Sub form in the CURRENT RECORD OF THE MAIN FORM.
I know this sounds a little bit confusing, but I hope you understand!
The main form is: frmOrder2
The subform is: subfrmItemOrder
The fields in the subfrm that has to be cleared are:
Items (combobox)
UnitID (combobox)
K1 (txtbox)
K2 (txtbox)
K3 (txtbox)
CSB (txtbox)
DTSS (txtbox)
H (txtbox)
Remarks (txtbox)
The two forms are linked by the field OrderID.
Please help me!!
Thanks!
