Hi, I have a form with a INFO button, what I need is when the info button is pressed a text box becomes visible on the form and when pressed again the text box become not visible, this will allow the final user the have additional information regading compiling the form etc!
Thanks

After data is entered into text box, on the "On Enter" event, how do I make it click a button on the form?Similar to the effect of when you enter your username then password, most people just hit enter on the keyboard to auto click the login button.

i can make a buton and edit stuff, im currantly learning VB .NET at the mo if that helps at all!!!!!
Form 1: I have a combo box on my main menu(MenuMainF) called cboCompanyType with typical values 1,2,3,4,5,etc......
Form 2: I have a command button on my administration menu(MenuAdminF) called cmdDevelopment
My goal is to have the cmdDevelopment button of Form 2 be visible if cboCompanyType on Form 1 is equal to 1,2,3, or 4, but if it is any other value, then cmdDevelopment should be not visible.
I have a table of customers with Account Numbers that I wish to autofill:
Account Number
Customer Name
Address1
Address2
Based off the customer Account Number, I call this table tblCustomers. I have the autofill working off of an unbound combobox querying the Account Number. Im doing this by "=combo2.column()" method. My problem is I need this data to populate another table, when the form is closed. Seems simple enough but my inexperienced access mind is stumped and I desperately need to move on with other aspects of this task.
I am wanting to make a text box on a form, to return a number (amount of records returned by a query)basically so if the query returns 5 records, the text box on the form will show"5",
Lets say the form is called "A", and the query is called "B" .How do I put this in the source control of the textbox ? < if this is right too ?
I'm having trouble with a Form and getting a text box entry box (Date entry) default to the date entered on the last record, which is linked to a table.
The only way I can get it to work is to type the date into the Text Box's Default property, for example, #11/13/13".
How to get the correct syntax or code into the Default property of the Text Box to make this work? I only want the entry to change versus the previous record/entry if the User changes / enters a new date.
I currently have two forms: frmE_SAFind and frmE_SAOrder
frmE_SAFind shows results from a query including fields [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
Example:
IDPO Date
btnOpnFrm 6543 2/1/05
btnOpnFrm 5681 1/1/05
frmE_SAOrder shows order details including [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
I have a open form command button set up on [frmE_SAFind] that opens [frmE_SAOrder]. Is it possible for me to modify its properties so that when the open form command button is clicked, the order details in [frmE_SAOrder] will represent the order that the user is selecting via the btnOpnFrm command?
Example: If I click btnOpnFrm for 6543, [frmE_SAOrder] will show me PO 6543 details.
Hopefully I made myself clear enough to understand. Thanks for your help!
Is there a way to make just part of the text in a text box bold, or to use different font sizes in the same text box?
Something like this:
---------------------------------
Heading in bold: description in regular (not bold)
(a smaller height line used as a line space)
Another "normal" line
a larger height line
a normal line....all in one text box!
---------------------------------
One thing I'd like to be able to do is to specify the line height of a blank line in a text box. I'm using carriage returns created with: Chr(13) & Chr(10). I could see defining the font size of a hidden character, but I'd need to know how to assign a font size to a piece of the text in a font box.
I am trying to filter a form by using two unbound text boxes that a user can enter in their criteria and then clicking a command button to filter the form using the criteria entered into the text boxes. My fields are as follows:
Bound Field: MondayD1
Unbound text box: txtMonday
Bound Field: SundayD7
Unbound text box: txtSunday
Command Button: cmdSelect
MondayD1 = txtMonday
SundayD7 = txtSunday
I have looked up several options using vb for the on click event of the command button but I either get an error message or the form shows up blank.
i already built reset button with this code but it is not working. i'm use this code;
Private Sub clearbtn_Click()
Me!qproject1 = " "
Me!qdoc1 = " "
Me!qvolume1 = " "
Me!qbox1 = " "
End Sub
it's any error in this code..??
is it possible with transform, only uppercase text contained in a report textbox, to bold? How? Through VBA?....

Code:
Private Sub SaveBtn_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False

DoCmd.Close acReport, "Labels", acSaveNo

The problem that I am getting is not only is the label printing but so is the form.
Is there a code for when I press a button it refreshes and clears out certain text boxes in my form?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a project within access which will allow users to select/input information in a form which will then save to the database.
What I need is to create a button on the form which will allow you to convert the data collected from the form to a custom text file template.
(Or maybe the last row added to the database. - although this may cause errors. Example: the form information doesn't save which will in turn create a text file with the data collected from the previous job)
The custom text file template should have a sentence description followed by the value recorded from the form.
Example:
1 configuration type: (data from form)
2 model type: (data from form)
3 Poc: (data from form)
And so on.
So in summary - I would be to use the form to collect the desired information which will save to the database.
Once actioned, a custom text file should be populated with the collected information (with specific data placement as per the example above)....
Is it possible to have a command button on a form to run the Text File Import Into a Table Wizard?

What is the code for the following problem that am I having:
When I click on a button (button1) then I want to make another button (button2) visible.
Thanks for your help in advance!!
Paul.
While there are lots of detailed issues discussed and resolved here, my problem is at a much higher level. Here's what I want to do.
I want to generate records in a file based on the user entering some 9 different values. The first two values will be used to get records from file A (they are a partial key). The values from the records in file A, plus the other values entered by the user will be used to generate records in file B. I hope this is clear enough.
I have created a query which prompts the user for each field and does the job just fine, but I want to replace the 9 individual prompts with a single form which allows the use of combo boxes for the partial key and a date picker for the single date field.
I've fluffed through creating a form with unbound controls to suit and even worked out a form of cascading combo box for the partial key, but I am struggling to find the best way to make a button at the bottom generate those records.
A nice optional would be to then display the added records (i.e. another query I guess).
Can somebody give me some pointers as to how to approach this? I've done very little in the way of Access programming, being mostly an SQL guy.
Thanks.
I do not see the Make ACCDE button. I'm using Access 2010 32 bit. Have an ACCDB FE file which I'm trying to create the ACCDE. I've compiled and fixed the VB errors. I've review trusted sources and insured the folders are trusted. For whatever reason, the button is not showing.

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?
Thanks in advance for your answers/reactions/help

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?
I haven't used Access in a looooong time and building a document tracking database for work. I am setting up my data entry form and would like to have a text box appear depending on the selection from a combo box. So, if the user selects "In Review" a text box will appear for entry of the reviewer's name, likewise if the user selects, "In Work." In the other cases (options in the combo box) the document is not being revised, so no name needs to be entered--so no need for the additional text box. Make sense? Any guidance/advice as to how to go about this? Thank you!
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn the form1 , I have a listbox1 with 2 columns. The values get added in the listbox using vba. Now I want to Edit the listbox values in case user enters something wrong. So when the user selects a listbox item and then EDIT button then form2 gets opened. And the textbox1 of it stores column1 of listbox1 value and textbox2 stores column 2 of listbox1 value. So the user canb make changes in the textbox values and then press SAVE button . Now I want the code that will make those changes in listbox1 of form1 and unload form2 then.
