Does anyone know why when you click on a command button that loads a report it shows it in a print preview mode and then when you click close it closes the report window and changes the form that you were originally on to a much smaller and condensed view instead of being maximised? All the properties are making the form to maximise except when you close from a print preview view. Cheers
View RepliesI bet there is a simple explanation for this.
I have a form which opens automatically when the database is opened, but I want it to open in the maximised view so it takes up the whole screen.
Hi,
Anyone know in microsoft access 97 is it possible to remove the close button (top right hand corner) when a form is maximised?
Thanks.
This ought to easy and I feel sure that the solution is in one of the Properties fields in the Form: I want to call one form from another as a 'Pop Up' - at the moment, if the 'calling' form in maximised, the one I want to Pop Up is also maximised. I want it to stay the size that I designed it, and appear as a small window over the calling one.
Can someone help, please
I have a button on a form to email a report.This is the code:
Private Sub EmailSfRpt_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[Property Number] = " & Me.[Property Number]
DoCmd.OpenReport "SQ FT/LN FT ITEMS REPORT REV", acPreview, , strWhere
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "SQ FT/LN FT ITEMS REPORT REV", acFormatPDF
End Sub
What is the code to close the report after the report is sent?
Hi All.
I have look through the forum but can not find a solution to my problem.
I have a popup form set to "popup" and "modal" "frmJobBookOut" which passes data to a query "qryJobBookOut". In the query there is a field called "job_no" and I have set the criteria to reference the "frmJobBookOut" ** [forms]![frmJobBookout]![job_no] ** and a report "rptInvoice" based on the query "qryJobBookOuit". This all works fine.
The report loads with the popup "frmJobBookout" form still displayed. I know that the popup form is still displayed because I have the setting "modal" and until I click on the close button it will remain on screen.
Is there a way I can close the popup "frmJobBookOut" form after the report has loaded.
I have tried many ways but not the right way.
Many thanks if you can help.
Kind regards
How do I keep a form window always on top? Thanks..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm sure there is a simple solution - but everything I have tried hasn't worked.
I have a command button on my main form that opens up a popup form. On the popup form the user makes various selections and clicks on another command button(on the popup form). That button is linked to a macro - that runs several queries.
The problem I am having is when the macro starts to run - the main form is maximized again (so now it doesn't take up the full screen - just a part of the screen) and some of the queries start flashing in front of the form.
I know how to maximize the form once the popup form closes - that's not a problem. I just cant figure out how to keep the focus on the main form and in front of all the queries as they are running.
I have two tables (one is a query)
Table 1 (query based)
EMP_ID
Prev_Emp_ID
EMP_ID_DDSK
332-123
1
500
332-133
1
501
332-144
0
332-156
1
502
332-654
1
503
332-456
1
504
332-967
0
Table 2
Res_Numbers
Num_Of_Employees
500
10
505 - after 5 numbers are placed
Will be added for next hire
My goal: to place employee numbers into new employee field "EMP_ID_DDSK" (table 1), Numbers will come from (from "Res_Numbers" field (table 2)
Example: If field "Prev_Emp_ID" = false
Get the next number in line from table 2 "Res_Number" and place it in table 1 field "EMP_ID_DDSK".
Example: if "Prev_Emp_ID" = false for 5 new employees. Take the next set of numbers and place into field "EMP_ID_DDSK".
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
I have a bound form with a few fields. I would like to run a sub after some of these fields are modified, but not others. I would like it to run only once, after user finishes his work on the form.
When using the Unload event - the form on the form is not there anymore (or did I get something wrong?).
Is there a way to trap Data on form just before the form closes?
This is related to some advice I received some time ago <a href="http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=64818">here<a>
I am runnign some code, it performs some applications, then, if a Count Field is greater than 1, a form opens as a dialog, displaying some information:
Dim A As String
A = "NewForm"
If Me.[Count] > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm A, acNormal, , , , acDialog
End If
If Me.Continue = "No" Then
Exit Sub
End If
The new form opens, and you can either view it, and click continue, which will run the rest of the code, or you can click quit, which updates Me.Continue to "No", and then it exits.
The problem is, when it exits the Sub, it doesn't really stop the code, it just leaves things kind of hanging. When I try to run the code again, I get:
3321 - The database engine could not lock the table 'NewTable' becuase it is already in use by another person or process.
Another symptom - The original form where I click to start running the code, has two date fields. Normally, when this form opens, they are blank, but when I exit the sub, as above, the previous dates I entered are still sitting there.
How can I make the forms really close?
When a form is open you can also see on the task bar that the form is open
If the user right clicks on the form(on the task bar ) they get the following options minimize , maximise , close.
Does any one know how I can stop the user selecting Close please ?
when i close the form all the fileds in the forms gets saved to the table.
i want it should pop up before closing to save it or not.
i have a button on the form to save the fields in the table.
which has code
command23_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Hi all,

On Error GoTo Err_Close_Click
Dim Answer As Integer
Answer = MsgBox("Press Ok to Close, Cancel to Continue.", vbOKCancel + vbQuestion, "Exit Data Entry?")
If vbOK Then DoCmd.Close

Exit Sub
Err_Close_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Close_Click
End Sub
Thanks to all in advance
I have found that when closing a form and changes have been made to the fields, these changes will be saved.
I would like to know if there it is posible to only save the changes when a command button is pressed and not when if you close the form any other way.
Hi,
How can I stop user from closing the form if the mantory fields are not filled up? I try using gotocontrol but it is not working.
Not sure what to call this "phenomenon" so haven't had any luck searching for an answer.
I have a form (form1) that has a close button with code behind it. When the button is clicked, it takes a few seconds for the code to run. When form1 closes, all is well up until: There is another form (form2) that is open behind form1. When form1 closes, part of it is still visible over form2.
Hope this makes sense. Any way to solve?
I'm looking for a way to cancel the closing of a form/app. I added a button asking if the user is sure they wish to exit, and am having difficulty finding the correct code to cancel the close event.Here is my codeDim ians As Integer ians = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to exit?", vbYesNo, "Exit App") If ians = vbNo Then DoCmd.CancelEvent DoCmd.OpenForm "orderlist", acNormal Exit Sub End IfCan help or send me down the right path?Thanks

When closing a form, I want my system to prompt: "Close without saving?". If yes, I want to continue the closing-proces, but when "no" is pressed, I want to just close the MsgBox-window and of course keep all the data-entries...

Hi
Can somebody tell me please how to prevent a user from closing a form if a specified other form is open?
Thanks

I have a form that has some fields with validation rules, which are Not Is Null. I have a private function to validate records (here is a snipet)
Code:
Private Function ValidateRecord() As Boolean
ValidateRecord = False
Select Case Outcome
Case "Interpretation"
If IsNull(Me.[Date Provided]) Then
MsgBox [Date Provided].ValidationText
Exit Function
End If
[code]...
The form has a save and close button. I was wondering if there was a way to keep the form from closing if those fields are null. Right now, you click the button, the validation text pops up (it pops up twice too), and then the form closes.
I thought about maybe having the (If...Then, Inputbox)code in the Form_BeforeUpdate instead. If I do that, is there a way to do that for date textboxes and comboboxes where you choose the value instead of typing it?
Closing a form with a large amount of records is slow after sorting the records, is there a way to avoid this.
Its slower to close after sorting than the the sum of the time to close the form and sort the records, which doesn't seem to make much sense.
Can anyone help?

I have a form for inputting products into a table called "products". On this form is a combo box which lists the Suppliers. This list is generated by a Table called "suppliers".
If the supplier has not alredy been entered into the supplier table then it is not listed in the combo box list. I have added a button to open a supplier entry form to add the supplier to the supplier table. Once the new supplier is entered and the supplier entry form closed, the new entry does not show in the combo box list unless you close the product form and reopen it.
How do I refresh the combo box list without closing the form it is in and reopening it.
I have been surfing these forums for about 3 hours and I cannot find the answer to my question. So, if this is already answered in another post I apologize in advance...
Here is my problem. I need to have a "Login" form to start this db that I am working on. I have found a post that I referred to for the code with some editing to make it work for me.... The code is....
Private Sub Login_Click()
On Error GoTo errorfix
Set db = CurrentDb
Set r = db.OpenRecordset("tblBouncers")
Do Until r.EOF
If BName = r![Bouncer] And BPW = r![BPassword] And r![Active] = 1 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMain", acNormal
GoTo exit_sub
Else
r.MoveNext
End If
Loop
MsgBox "Invalid Login, Please Try Again."
BPW.Value = ""
DoCmd.GoToControl "BName"
BName.Value = ""
exit_sub:
Exit Sub
errorfix:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume exit_sub
End Sub
Most everything works fine. If my username and password get qualified, the main form opens, or if my username and password are wrong, I get the appropriate message and it clears the boxes like I want it to. However, my problem is that I cannot, no matter how hard I play with this, get it to close the Login form, without encountering an error.
Yes, I know that the code above doesn't have anything telling it to close the form, because no matter where I put the "DoCmd.Close acform, "frmBLogin" "I keep getting an error message "This action can't be carried out while processing a form or report event."
What am I missing, and where do I put it? I have tried various locations for setting db and r to nothing then closing the form (based on advice from other posts I have read), but keep getting the same error, or worse (worse being can't close the error and have to end the process through task manager).
Will someone please direct me in the right direction? You can even go so far as to tell me my code is completely wrong... This is my first attempt at loops so you won't hurt my feelings.
Thanx for any guidance,
Jenn
