Hi,
I am trying to open my form locked and have the uers click a button to unlock the form to enter data. The way i do it now is have 2 forms one set to allow edits "yes" the other set to "no" and then have a button for each
This is working ok but i would like to tidy things up a bit and get it to one button.
I struggle with programming but i will do my best to understand any posts.
Thxs for any help

I have a form with several subforms within (tabbed subforms). I've used the code:
In the Current event of the parent form -
Code:
Me.AllowEdits = False
Me.AllowDeletions = False
Me.AllowAdditions = False
In the Current event of each of the subforms -
Code: (THIS NEVER WORKS FOR ME - RUNTIME ERROR)
Me.AllowEdits = Me.Parent.AllowEdits
Me.AllowDeletions = Me.Parent.AllowDeletions
Me.AllowAdditions = Me.Parent.AllowAdditions
In the Click event of the button -
Code:
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.AllowDeletions = True
Me.AllowAdditions = True
So the main form is locked upon opening and unlocked with the click of an unlock button. How to apply this to the subforms as well. They just stayed unlocked the whole time.
I have a form with 2 option buttons on it one with year 12 on it and one with year 13. I have a simple form with drop down menus and text boxes allocated for year 12s and 13s. I want all of the year 13 text boxes and drop down lists to be locked if year 12 is selected and I want all of the year 12 text boxes and drop down lists to be locked if year 13 is selected. I do not want to over complicate the form by hiding parts of it or having a new form open depending on the option button selected.

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...
Hi all,
I'm having a problem here and after searching the web, I can't find a solution.
Problem is that I have a form which seems to be locked. None of the fields can be modified. This should be ok except for 1 combo-box.
I have checked all objects settings and all objects have:
Edit/Delete/Add options enabled;
Visible option enabled;
Locked option disabled;
The form has only Fromview enabled and recordlock is off.
There is no VB code modifying a 'locked' status.
Can someone help me out here?
My project is +20Mb so first I'd like to see if there are any things I've forgotten to check before I'll strip and post it.

But to keep the form nice and clear, I only want to make the fields acceseble when the checkbox from [couple] is checkt OK.
How to make the fields and the Box around it Light Gray, so its very clear it issn't clickable.
The main coller is white BG and Green strokes. (see attachment) When the field [paar] 1 (couple in englisch) is OK then the fields in de eclips 2 are available And I want the collors of the stroke 25% black and de fields disabled.
I have two forms linked together.

Hi! I'm certin this is something really simple, but I just can't remember how I've done it before.
I have a combo box called "ReferralReason" and when a particular option ("Other") is chosen from the list in there, I want the text field "ReferralReasonOther" to become unlocked.
Could someone please tell me:
a) do I type the VBA code for this in the properties of the combo, or, the text field? (Does it even make a difference)
b) what do I actually type?? :confused:
Thanks in advance for your help!
I made a table containing information about products (price, amount, supplier,...). The most inportant info is the order number (cause it's unique).
Then I made a form, containing a combo-box and several text-boxes. The idea is to find a record using the combo-box, and vieuwing the information of that product in the form. This works, but a problem occurs: the order numbers change each time in a single number (I guess the autonumber). How can I solve this problem so that my combo-box is still available for searching, but no changes can be made in the table that is the source for the form?
Hi..
I got a access file from a friend of mine, but when i open it in access, i don't see any tables or the standard menu buttons.
The only menu i see, is a docked menu with a couple of submenus, wich in turn open forms, where you can enter data..
How can i see the tables and bva script behind this access file?
I tried F11 and Alt-F11, but is does nothing.
He won't tell me how he did it, because he doesnt like to share what he knows...
Can anyone help me??
Thanx !

View 14 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to lock a field in a form after the user has populated the field? So for example, I have two date fields and I want them to be locked after the user has entered values on those fields. I want to avoid the user to come back in the future and change those fields. However I would like the database administrator to be able to change those dates when needed. How do I do this?

Basically my switchboard on Open includes DoCmd.Maximize so that the switchboard does indeed open on full screen. However, say I then leave my database open and work on a different application on my PC then when I click on my database on the taskbar then the form is not longer full screen.
So what I am basically asking is, is there a way of 'locking' it to appear full screen even if I flick between applications on my PC?
Many thanks in advance,

I want to incorporate a button that locks a certain portion of my form but my form is still quite long...
Is there a way which I can lock multiple fields at once or do i have to do:
Code:
Field1.Enabled = False
Field2.Enabled = False
Field3.Enabled = False
Field4.Enabled = False
and so on...

I'm trying to lock a checkbox when the forms open and depending if one has role as admin, it should unlock it.When I add the below code in the on open form I get error:
Code:
Me.lock_case_admin.Locked = True
Me.lock_case_admin.BackColor = 12632256
This is the part that should onlock if it is admin:
Code:
Me.lock_case_admin.Locked = False
Me.lock_case_admin.BackColor = 16777215
Maybe it is me, or the checkbox is giving the error that causes the dialogbox to open to to choose the ID nr.
I'm trying to lock certain fields on my form based on the value in a particular field. It seems to work the first time but applies itself to all other records in the database from then on!
The starting point is a command button that sends an email and makes Me.DPLLock = 1. The corresponding table entry is formatted as a number.
The code is...
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.DPLLock = 1 Then
Me.OR_Name.Locked = True
Me.OR_Sales_Order.Locked = True
Me.OR_WO_No.Locked = True
Me.OR_Qty.Locked = True
[Code] ....
Ive tried Me!DPLLock with the same result.
I would like to be able to lock a form's field temporarily until certain information has been added to other fields. Once the required fields are complete, I want to be able to allow the field to be updated.
Here is a simplified version of the table fields (only including relevant fields):
tblContacts
LastName (Text, Required field, Duplicates OK)
FirstName (Text, Required field, Duplicates OK)
CurrentEmployee (Yes/No field)
Basically, I don't want the user to be able to update the CurrentEmployee field in a new record until the LastName and FirstName fields have been completed.
The reason I want to prevent this is that when CurrentEmployee field is updated, the record is then assigned a ContactID number (PK autoID field) which means that my subform is assigned an ID# and the result is messy if the user decides to abort the creation of the record.
I am looking to completely disable a record when a specific Yes/No tick box is checked.
By that I mean all form fields are locked and disabled when the Yes/No tick box is checked (Yes)
I am trying to lock records on a form and subform after a checkbox has been ticked, have used the code below from a previous post.
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Locked = -1 Then
Me.AllowEdits = False
Me.AllowAdditions = False
Me.AllowDeletions = False
[Code] .....
This is locking the Main form records is there a way to code this so that the fields on the subform are also locked when the checkbox is ticked?
hi, i would like to be able to prevent a user from being able to change a field (lock a field) in a main form if a field in a subform is complete. (the field in the subform is named: "new_weekly_base" if this is complete then i would like the field: "weekly base" to be locked on the main form. is this possible?, please help.
the main form is named: "SCREEN-MAIN"
the subform is named: "SCREEN-SUBFORM"
(the main form has a button on it which loads the subform.)
ive tried the below code but it doesnt work, any help would be excellent.
-------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If [NEW_WEEKLY_BASE] >= 0 Then
With Me.WEEKLY_BASE
.Visible = True
.Enabled = False
End With
End If
End Sub
