Hi
I have a form where the processing is a little slow and I want to advise the user that something is actually happening!
So I put a label on the form (lblWait) with a suitable message. The visible property is set to Yes.
On the form open event I put
Me.lblWait.visible = False
This makes the label invisible as expected. On the code behind the run button I started it off like this
Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
' Reveal wait message
Me.lblWait.Visible = True
' Delete any extant records in tblTmpReportDates
cnn.Execute "DELETE * FROM tblTmpReportDates"
However, my wait message stays invisible throughout the whole process. All the other processing goes fine.
I sense I am either using the wrong procedure to put up a wait message but shouldn't this work?
Any words of wisdom would be most appreciated, especially if they solve the problem!!
Thanks in advance and best wishes
but guess what, this doesnt work!! looks like the screen is not updated until the button_click processes, if i add a msgbox() after lblstatus.visible=true it shows but after the msgbox which i dont want. anyone know why?
I have a form with a subform on it, if the user clicks a control on the subform I want to set the subforms visible property to = False.
I have tried Me!Subform.visible=False and Form!Subform.Visible=False but neither are working, I think i have to set focus back to the main form before I can set the visible property of the subform.
This seems really straight forward to me. I have 3 forms - FormA, FormB and FormC. When I open FormA the user inputs some information, when they tab to the last field, FormB opens (which I want to be invisible) and Form C opens.
I've tried putting this coding on the Open event of FormB: Me.Visible = False
I've also tried putting this code on the Open event of FormC Forms!FormB.Visible= False
Neither work. My form (FormB) still displays when eithr event occurs.
I have a couple of fields on my form (Resolution Type, Date Closed) that I want to display only if the Status field has Closed as its selection for each record. I initially set the Visible parameter of both the type and closed fields to False and I reset them to visible by checking for open/closed with an afterupdate event. This works great for the first record but...subsequent entries display those 2, regardless.
I know just enough regarding events to struggle my way through on some things but more advanced field, record level and form level events are beyond my experience level.
Can anybody offer any advice on how to get those two fields to toggle visible/invisible when scrolling through the records?
With that said, does anyone have a link to a post/website referencing this subject?
I have a form that I use to both add new records and edit existing ones. I do this thru a combobox and two command buttons. One button opens form in add records mode with combobox visible property set to no. The other button sets the visible property to true. I am getting an error message that "the field combo60 can not be found" Here is my code: Private Sub Label63_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Client Information" Me![Combo60].Visible = True
End Sub The name of the combox is right. Can anyone help?
On my switchboard form, I have a check box which the user can check to make a text box (which appears in several different reports) visible and uncheck to make it invisible. The text box in the reports has the same name on all of them.
I am having trouble making this work.
I can think of two solutions, but haven't had success with either yet.
1. I could simply change the visible property of the report(s) control from the form. This works if the report is open, but throws an error if the report is not open.
Code:Public Sub showNumOrgsInReportCB_AfterUpdate()If Me!showNumOrgsInReportCB.Value = 0 ThenReports![publishZipR]![numOrgsF].Visible = FalseElseReports![publishZipR]![numOrgsF].Visible = TrueEnd IfEnd Sub
Is there a property or function I can use to test whether the report is open before I set the text box visibility?
2. Alternatively, a less elegant solution would be to run an event procedure to close all open reports. This would eliminate that issue, but I haven't gotten the code to work yet:
Code:Public Sub showNumOrgsInReportCB_AfterUpdate() Dim rpt As Report ' Enumerate Reports collection.For Each rpt In ReportsDoCmd.Close rpt.nameNext rptEnd Sub
This line: DoCmd.Close rpt.name throws a Run-time Error '13', Type mismatch.
I have a form (frmMain) which contains 3 subforms and they are being set to visible at different stages of application run (depending on the options selected).
In subfrm_Main_options i have 3 buttons, clicking on 'Job Review' will make the subfrm_Search visible. In the subfrm_Search i have 2 labels, 'View Jobs' and 'View Report' and I only want the 'View Jobs' to be visible!
I have tried setting the visible property of this label to False in the subfrm_Main_Options but its giving me an error (saying the form subfrm_Search is closed or does not exist in the database!). I also tried using a Global Variable (ViewJobs - declared in module mdlPublicVars) and set it to True once the 'Job Review' is clicked in the subfrm_Main_Options form, and then look at this in subfrm_Search and then display the correct label. However after trying to put this code in various events such as, On Open, On Got Focous, On Activation, ... i didnt get the result i wanted!
Can any1 please help me out with this. I would be really grateful!
PS. The buttons appearing on the form are placed on the frmMain, I did that to see if it appears on the main form but they must be in subfrm_Search!
I'm running Access 2003 and my question relates to delivery notes that are produced for drivers as reports. These delivery notes have a blank payment box for the driver to complete if the customer pays upon delivery.
As more and more customers are prepaying by credit cards, I'd like this payment box to be automatically filled with a "PAID" text which will let the driver know the order has already been paid for.
The delivery note is produced from an "Orders" table which has a "Paid" field whose value is automatically set to "Yes" when the order has been paid for.
I was hoping to be able to place a "PAID" label on the report which is only visible when the Paid field of the underlying query is Yes.
As things are at the moment I cannot see any way to put any conditional statement onto this Text/Label. The only options for the "Is Visible" property of the text are Yes or No.
I have a report that displays on a continuous style report. What courses the employee have been on and when they expire
right I have field call expirydate and another call dayover showing the number of days till that course has expired also I have made a label called Expired1
now what I'm trying to do.....
if the expirydate has passed I want the expired1 label to be visible and dayover field to become invisible
I have tried
Code: Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Me.Expirydate < Date Then Me.expired1.Visible = True Me.DaysOver.Visible = False End If If Me.Expirydate > Date Then Me.expired1.Value = False Me.DaysOver.Value = True End If
I have also tried the code on current event on the report
now my problem if one of the course has expired it will show the label called Expired1 but on all the records but I only want it to display on the record that has expired and leave the daysover text box visible if course has not expired
My student is doing a project on question paper generation in which he selects questions from each lesson needed and also some of these questions have images associated with them. So, if these questions are selected, the image control in the report displays it.
If there is no image, the space for the control is left in tact. I tried changing the visible property for the image control in the Detail_Format event procedure. But this code is not reached at all and the space is still left. I am not storing the image directly in the field but its path in a text field.
I want that the space occupied by the image control removed. I tried the suppression thing but obviously it did not work.
I have stumbled across an issue in my report involving the Report.SourceObject property. The section of the report contains a subreport that needs to change dynamically to display the report that relates to the corresponding test. When trying to change the subreports.Sourceobject property I get the error Run-time error 2191: You cant set the Source Object Property in the print preview or after printing has started.This is very clear to me what the limitation is, however I was wondering if there was some way around this.
I have currently tried creating multiple subreports that are stacked on each other with visible property set to false. Then I change the specific subreport visible property base of a select. This worked, but was extremely hard on the machine and printer as there is about 15 different possible subreports.
Secondly I have tried exporting it to RTF and just manually copying and pasting the tables. The down side with this is all the formatting and work I have put into the report as a whole goes out the window so if possible would like to avoid this situation as well.
I'm working on a report. I have a text box that contains directory path for a picture which is showed in a image box on my report which works great. I have now created a label called "nopiclb" that has "no Pic "entered in it but I want to set the label to not visible if path1 has a file path in it but visible if path1 is empty
I put the code below in onformat event in the detail section, but is not working
Code: Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If IsNull(Me.path1) = True Or Me.path1 = "" Then Me.Nopiclb.Visible = True Else Me.Nopiclb.Visible = False End If End Sub
I am trying to make a label visible on a form during print if a field has "like a string". We use a form so that it prints 3 forms to one page (They are tags for units for repair). I can get the label to be visible in the form view but when I print, the label is visible on every record where it is only visible on the current record in form view. My goal is to have the label only show on those records where the condition is met.
Here is my code that works in form view only: (It is to designate easier a warranty tag from a new repair tag)
Code: If Me.Problem_Description Like "Warr*" Then Me.lbl_w.Visible = True Else Me.lbl_w.Visible = False End If
I have attached an image of a tag sheet Tag_Sheet_W.jpg. As you can see if I got my desired result only the first tag would have a W.
I sent a post earlier today about making a label visible in a subform! I am still working on it but still no progress!
I have a different scenario (its the same thing but trying to explain the method i'm working on):
I have one main form (frmMain) that contains 3 subforms, say subfrm1, subfrm2 and subfrm3. On Open only 1 is visible and 2 and 3 are invisible (however they are open and loaded).
By choosing an option on 1 subfrm2 becomes available! When choosing an option on subfrm1 a boolean called 'XXX' is set to true. Now i want one particular label to become visible in subfrm2 if 'XXX' is true! To do this i need to write a code to be executed when subfrm2 is appears on screen! The problem is this form is already open so how and on which event of subfrm2 can i write the code???
At the moment i'm trying to refresh subfrm2 (by using code in subfrm1) and I have placed my code on the On Load event of subfrm2. I thought this way the form will reload and the On Loand event will pick up the new value for boolean XXX and set the label to visible! Thats the idea anyway... here is the code i have in subfrm1:
XXX = True
Forms![frmMain].subfrm2.Form.Refresh
subfrm1.Visible = False
subfrm2.Visible = True
I'm not sure if refreshing the subform will result in On Load event to be executed! And i'm not even sure that the code for refreshing subfrm2 is correct. Can any1 help me with this?
I have attached the actual database on my previous post sent today, if you prefer to look at the whole thing and get a feel of the problem!
I have a combobox on my form called TypeOfBusiness, with fields including Corporation, Education, Industry, Non-Profit. In order to make a second combobox called IndustryClassification appear when Industry is selected from the TypeOfBusiness combobox, I have used the following code:
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.TypeOfBusiness = "Industry" Then Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = True Else Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = False
[Code] .....
It works just fine. However, when a user selects both, say, Industry and Education, the IndustryClassification combobox will not appear. What code I can use to ensure the IndustryClassification box will appear regardless if another box is checked in addition to Industry? I am wondering if it has to do with the Column attribute.
I have a Main Form with a Sub-Form, the sub-form is base off a query. on the sub-form i have 8 controls, one of them is "Status' and "Process" and "Review" My Main Form have a Refresh command that refreshes the data in the sub-form.
What i am trying to do is make the "Process" Control only visible is "Status" is a certain status and "Review" visible if "Status" is something else. what i have done works correctly On Open. I run into and issue on the refresh command. I get Run-time error '2165' "You can't hide a control that has the focus"
Code: If Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Status = "Ready" Then Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Process.Visible = True Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Review.Visible = False ElseIf Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Status = "Reviewing" Then Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Review.Visible = True Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Process.Visible = False End If
I have done similar with a main form and making sub-form visible or not based on a control on a main form and that has worked perfectly. I am not sure how the control is getting focus and cause the error.
I have a form with four subforms set up in a tabs on the form. In the subforms I have a copuple of command buttons which enable/make visible fields when they are clicked (see previous posts but for eg) - if a height and a weight are added in two separate boxes a calculation is done and then a command button pressed to make visible the (label) which shows the mass index the patient falls into. My problem is that the label is then retained so if I click out of the form and re-enter with a new patient then the height and weight boxes are clear but the label from the previous patient remains.
I tried to put the code Private Sub Form_Load() If PtWeight = Null And PtHeight = Null And Text60 = Null Then Label106.Visible = False Label101.Visible = False Label177.Visible = False Label122.Visible = False Label123.Visible = False End If End Sub in both the open and on load event of the main form (not the subform) but it doesn't help. Any ideas?
(When should code be put on the main form and when on the subform?)
I have one field called "Tax", when I open the form, the "Tax" is invisible, when I click one button, then the "Tax" is visible, after the input the value, I want the "Tax" to be invisible. But it cannot be invisible.
Private Sub Tax AfterUpdate() [Tax].Visible = False End Sub
This might sound simple to everyone, but it won't work for me. I have a text box on my form that holds the current date, there are also other text boxes that hold other information. Here's what I'm trying to do, if the other text boxes are empty then I want the date text box to be invisible. Here's the code I'm trying to use:
Code:If [EquipmentType1]=" " Then[DateSigned].visible = FalseEnd IfEnd Sub
By the way this is triggered from the Form Load event. Thanks for any help you can provide.
I created a little form containing informations the users need to see to insert the right values in other forms. I need to have this little form always visible even if the users are working with another form maximized. Does it exist a code to do it?
In my form, I have a combo box with one of three options (cash, check, reimbursement). If the user chooses check, I want a text box to become visible, so the user may input the check number.
I thought I could use another invisible text box to store the value of the combo box and then in the code put:
Private Sub Text64_AfterUpdate() If Text64 = "Check" Then Me.Check1.Visible = True Else Me.Check1.Visible = Refresh End If Me.Refresh End Sub
Text64 is holding the value of the combo box Check1 is the text box where I want the user to put the check number.
