G'day all

I want to create a form that will be the layout of my storage warehouse. I actualy have a layout on paper but was thinking of doing it on a form for the users to have a better view. The location of the inside warehouse have 60 location or Bin. The outside one has 80 Bins.
This will need 2 query. 1 for the inside Bins and 1 for the outside Bins. They are both the same query except for the caption of each command button.

What will be the beast way to create the query as to the criteria is to read from thee caption of the command button.
If the caption is 50 then give me everything in 50.

Hope this make since.

Thanks you so much.

Forms :: Cmd Button Caption Not Displaying

May 30, 2013

I am building a form and part of the code is:

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
lblSalary.Caption = "Enter Salary"
txtSalary.Value = "5000.00"
cmdIncrease.Caption = "Increase Salary"
End Sub

The problem I am having is that I dont understand why the cmdIncrease button does not display "Increase Salary" when the form loads. The button is there but it is blank. The lblSalary button displays "Enter Salary" with no issues.... and I do not have "Enter Salary" in the caption property window... only in the coding window but it still works.

Change Button Caption On Continuous Forms

Mar 10, 2006

I have a form, the view of which is continuous forms.
It has information on the left of the screen which the user is expected to manually match to information on the right, based on the suggestion of the underlying query (based on table a and table b)

E.g.

Client A $200 <button> Mr Smith $200.00
Client B $100 <button> Mr Smith $100.01

There is a button "match me" which when clicked runs an update query.

My query is how do I change the caption on the "match me" button to say "matched" just for the one that is clicked? Because it is a continuous form, if I use Command1.Caption = "Matched" or Me!Command1.Caption = "Matched" it changes it for all the buttons on the form.

Many thanks.

Command Button That Shows A Query

Aug 4, 2005

Hello,
How would I go about in making a command button bring up a report to show a result of items for the end of the month?
For example, when a user clicks on this button it will bring up a report showing all the items that are out of date for the end of the month. I am having problems with the query as for months have different lengths e.g. 28/29/30/31 days. How would I make a query show the end result for each month correct as February if going to be different each time i.e. when it is a leap year. I have got far but having trouble with this part.
Hope you can help.

Run Delete Query With Command Button

Nov 11, 2005

Hello,

I have a delete query in my database which I would like to run from a command button on a switchboard. When I use the command button wizard, it does not show delete queries in the menu of available queries. If I create a command button manually I will need VBA code for the event procedure.

Can someone give me an appropriate code for running a delete query with a command button?

Thanks

Can I Place A A Command Button In A Query?

Apr 13, 2007

Hi,

I have a query that is run off a form. When the query opens up there is a field you can enter data into. Once you close the query the data saves into the proper place in the table. That all works great.

I'm trying to make this as user friendly as possible. Instead of having someone go up to the "x" in the top right hand corner to close the query can I place a command button in the query that is very noticeable?

Any thoughts are most welcome

Thanks

Eddie.

Query Works But Not With Command Button?

Oct 19, 2011

I have a query: qryNoSurgery with linked tables tblSurgery(many) to tblPatients(one) where tblSurgery!SurgeryDate criteria = Is Null. When I run the query by itself, it works perfectly. I get all the tblPatients data where SurgeryDate field is null.

I created a command button that opens a form, frmPatients, If I enter qryNoSurgery as the filter argument in the embedded macro and run it, I get a Msgbox which wants me to enter a parameter for qryNoSurgery!SugergyDate.

Have Subform Display Query Results With Command Button

Nov 13, 2014

I have a form with a subform (FindBuffer_Form) which I built from a Query (FindBuffer_Query) within the query criteria I have the following (Like "*" & [Select the main Batch Number] & "*")in order to search a particular number.

I want to be able to run the Query from a command button on the main form and have the results appear in the subform, If I have the Source object of the subform set to Query.FindBuffer_Query I get prompted twice to answer the Criteria before the form opens, after the form opens the subform is generated as per the search criteria.

Ideally, I want the form to open with no data in the subform run the query from command button and have the result in the subform.

(Hopefully!) A Very Easy Question To Answer - Running A Query From A Command Button

Dec 27, 2005

Hi all

I'm currently working through developing my first database.

Basically, what I would like is for a query to run from a command button.

The query should look at a field in a table (a yes/no field) and report back the ones that have been filled in.

I know how to run the query from the access 'Query' window, BUT, I would like this query to run from a click of a command button on a form.

I've looked it up in a book, which explains about SQL, and didn't really understand it. I've also searched on here, but people talk about Macro's, and I don't know anything about them.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Change Value In Query From Command Button Based On Selection In Combo Box?

Jun 3, 2015

I have a dashboard-style form that has a list box with tasks connected to a query with line items of those tasks.

I have another query that will only show the line item selected from the list box. This means the query will only have one line item.

I want to have a command button below the list box that, when clicked, will modify the solo item in the second query to change a yes/no field from no to yes.

How can I accomplish this? Also, how can I make a button that deletes the selected line item?

Reports :: Automate Printing From A Command Button With Selected Data From A Query?

Jul 15, 2013

How can I automate different printers for different reports on the same MS Access 2007 database, without having to select the printer each time?

There are two reports that are printed on the same database. Previously, I had automated form buttons to print the reports, without having to select the printer each time. This was about 8 years ago, but I don't remember how I did this. Also, I don't know SQL. Nothing against code, but I did not know how to program, and just MS Access 2007 access itself.

Forms :: Change Records Source And Run Query - Onclick Event Of Command Button

Apr 8, 2013

I have a tabbed form in a navigation form with a chart on it. The records source of the chart is a query. The query runs when you click the tab and takes a long time. I changed the Row Source of chart to "" and that eliminates the query running on form load. I've read many posts on changing that row source when a command button is clicked. I tried

Code:
Me!Suspend_Trending_Dashboard![chart].RecordSource = suspend_trend_CHART

in the onclick event of the command button. This doesn't work. I've tried many variations of the syntax. I don't know if I have to tell the query to run after the row source is changed.

On a side note, the query criteria is based on beginning and end dates entered into text boxes on the form. This all works if the query loads when the form is opened.

Forms :: Command Button To Unlock And Lock Fields / Edit Button?

Feb 19, 2014

I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.

SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.

I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...

Difference Between A Command Button And A 'label' Button

Aug 12, 2005

Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :

Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End

If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o

Command Button To Set Value

Apr 20, 2006

I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!

I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.

Pseudo code would go something like this.

Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID

Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously)
Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table
OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order
SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Command Button?

Apr 26, 2005

I, unfortunately, have been singled out as the Access guru in my work area. We have 223 people and the Information Manager has tasked me to modify a database he "found" to be able to track a number of things, but most important to him: performance reports.

I have posted the sample of what I currently have. What is being asked of me is a way in which to have a button or by double-clicking a block where a date would go for all other dates on the form to become non-visible while the current date stored in the computer the database is being worked from be entered in the block where the button or double-click happened. All this links to a report for the IM to be able to track what performace reports are out, and when they are due back to his section. He also wants me to be able to show which are overdue and where they are at. I am not sure if it is at all possible, but with me having spend most of last week purusing the articles on Access here, I know now that nothing is implausible if you happen to go about it the right way.

Since I have read the rules on posting, here is what I have done. I searched the forum for command button and got a lot of really cool ideas to use elsewhere in the database. I looked up the help in the program itself for command button, and got some good information on how a command button works, but I cannot make it put a date into a block. I can enter the date in any block that is a date format, but then I have dates in every block. He only wants to see the most current date in any of the blocks.

Any assistance at this point would be appreciated. If I have missed something in another thread, I apologise in advance.
