Sep 30, 2005Hi there,
I am using access a lot these days, and try to use keyboard shortcuts where possible (leave that mouse alone....), so does anyone know a way to get to the FILTER menu when viewing a form using the keyboard...i.e without having to right click on the field and then click in the FILTER FOR box.
In more detail, the form looks like a table, and I may want to filter on one field, then sub-filter on another etc.....
Then also a shortcut to REMOVE the filters would be good too.....
If I have to create buttons on the form with code behind that ok.
Thanks
On Screen Keyboard Problem
May 21, 2006Hi,
i'm building a on screen keyboard with has to adjust fields on a subform.
When pressing a key a letter is added in a certain field like :
me!subform!field1= me!subform!field1 & "Q"
How can i detect which field has the focus on the subform and the code is only editting this field ?
I've tried to set a global variable ( veld ) when a certain field got the focus and use this value in the code like :
me!subform(veld)= me!subform(veld) & "Q"
This is not working .... what should be the correct code ?
Thanks in advance
Is There A Way To Use Keyboard To Select From An Option Group?
Apr 17, 2005I have a user who can't operate a mouse and I want to make it possible for him to select from an option group using only the keyboard.This is possible if a default button is stipulated, but can it be done when there is no default?
There is no event associated with the keyboard in an option group, only with the controls within it. I tried using the Got Focus event on an option Button, but entering the control doesn't cause the options to receive the focus, seemingly.
Any ideas, (they don't have to be fully formed) would be gratefully accepted.

Apr 18, 2014Is there anyway to bring up the on screen keypad or on screen keyboard from Access when running Windows 8 on the desktop? It would really be useful if someone was on a tablet wanting to input data in a text box if could automatically invoke the onscreen keyboard. By default when running applications on the desktop in Windows 8, one has to manually bring it up. I would like to include a touch option so every time wanted to enter data, they would not have to manually touch display keyboard option. A number pad like in excel for iPad would be even better. If text field would bring up keyboard, if number field, it would bring up number pad.
View 6 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Change Keyboard Mappings On Field Focus
Mar 1, 2014Right I have Windows 7 Ultimate because I am learning Russian and I have created an English Russian dictionary.
Now using Ultimate to go between English Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet you have to press ALT + SHIFT.
Its awkward and it often doesn't register first time.
Certain fields in my database use the latin alphabet while other fields use the cyrillic alphabet.
Is there a way that on focus of a field I can get the keyboard mapping to ensure that it is correct either English or Cyrillics?
Forms :: Finding A Keyboard Shortcut That Simulates The Double Click?
Oct 28, 2014Is there a keyboard shortcut that simulates the double click.
In my Sectionfrm I have a command button that opens my Ordersfrm. Because I use the Ordersfrm for reasons not always associated with the Sectionfrm I do not automatically populate the SectionID (textbox) in the Ordersfrm with the SectionID from the Sectionfrm.
When I want to link an order to a (building) section I double click the SectionID field in the Ordersfrm which in turn runs VBA code that copies the SectionID from the Sectionfrm to the Ordersfrm.
As I tab through my form I find it annoying to move away from my keyboard to the mouse to double click the SectionID, so the question is:
Is there a keyboard shortcut that simulates the double click to run the VBA code?
Design View Keyboard Shortcut - Expand Columns In Design View Of A Query
Jun 5, 2014I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
Forms :: Button In Form To Open Different Form And Chose A Customer Based On Last Form
Mar 26, 2013Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
Forms :: Opening A Form From Another Form Via Combo And Auto Loading Form Data?
Apr 14, 2015I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
Forms :: Send Data From Pop-up Form To Main Form (sub-sub Form)
Aug 27, 2014On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)

Jul 24, 2013how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.

Modules & VBA :: Retrieve / Validate Data On 2nd Form Based On Record Selected On 1st Form
Jul 29, 2013Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.
I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).
I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName]
Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex)
End With
EndSub
I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).
Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.

Forms :: Based On User Selection In A Form / Create New Records For Subsequent Form
Feb 3, 2014The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.
New At Access: Update Simlar Text Fields In One Form Based On Another Form
Jun 13, 2006I am very new at Microsoft Access. I have two forms, A and B, that are filled out by two different users. Form A gets filled out first than form B gets filled out. Each has a name box as well as a birthdate box and a few other similar text fields. However, each form also has a few distinctive fields. I was wondering how I could input the common information in Form A to Form B so the user of Form B does not have to spend time retyping the name and birthdates again. In other words, I want to synchronize the similar records between the two forms. I would like the values to appear in a table as well. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the visual basic code. Thank You.
