Macro Controlled Field Settings Issue
Jan 15, 2007
First, thanks to all that have helped me with out even knowing it! This forum is a lifesaver.
Problem:
I have a control button that, through macro commands that seem to be working, changes a field value from locked=no to locked=yes. This macro control also changes the enabled setting to = false.
When I save and exit the form, upon reopening, the above cell value is not saved. Is there a simple fix for a simple-minded person?
Thanks in advance

Hello.
I've been reading these forums for a few months now while developing a database for logging bugs during website QA, but never posted.
I need a way to change the "Month" combo dynamically based on what a user enters into the "StartDate" and "EndDate" Fields. (I'm using Access '97)
e.g.
I have Validation set up on both start and end date fields so they are required before a record can be saved. I would like the "Month" combo box to update with the proper month after a user has entered the StartDate and EndDate.
(Basically a timesaver for users who are entering 20-25 criteria into a single form.)
There's one hangup:
the date ranges aren't typical, as in, "November 1-30 = November"... It's more like "10/23 through 11/30 = November"
here's what that chunk of the form looks like:
http://www.ewiessner.com/misc/images/sded_month.gif
So if I were to enter 9/27 start, and 10/27 end, "October" would populate in the "Month" combo box, and I could continue to other fields.
Any input would be appreciated, and I apologize if this is a repeat post, I couldn't find any similar topics.
Thanks,
-E
p.s. - If it helps, I have a 'Month' table with 1-12 = Jan - Dec, the 'StartDate' and 'EndDate' fields are text entry boxes bound to the master 'Details' table where all the data is stored.

Hi all im new to this and im trying to make a from that will display a sub from containg infomation that can be changed by altering a combo box.
im not sure if its possible but i want to have the combo box containing names of people and then the sub form to display records that relate just to the selected person. and when the combobox's selection changes so does the displayed data.
i don't know if its possible to make a dynamic query that will take the text value in the combo box and use it in a query to query the data i have. and then produce just the data corisponding to one person. :eek: :confused:
ANY HELP on this would be greatly appreaceated. i have a feeling thatis simple but i have been pulling my hair out trying to find out how to do it. :confused:

sorry for the repeating of a previous thread but i have looked at all of the replys on the first combo box controlled query and have followed what was reccomended but i still have some problems. :(
i have three combo boxes and i want to query a single table with the selected combo options.
atm i am using the criteria part of a query to filter the results by the combo box
[forms]![Form1]![cboStaff]
this works well for one thing but when i want two i have put them in line which means AND so both combo boxes have to have a value in and then the query looks for combo box ones value with combobox 2's value.
is there any way i can make the value in the second combo box mean any result. which would effectivly turn the query into a search for just the first criteria set by the combo box???
please help i have been going round in circles trying to figure out how i am going to do this :confused:

I've created a rather simple Access program that I use to import an employee's cookie summary txt file. I then sort the cookies for 1) time of day, and 2) appropriateness.
I found a way to create the queries - in simple design mode using criteria - but I want system administrators in other offices to be able to enter the time of day variables particular to their offices. Same with appropriate words. So I want a form they can use to do that - eg, list their office's break times. In essence, a setup page. Then the resulting queries (time of day and word list) will be customized to the particulars of that office rather than to mine.
Would appreciate some ideas on how to do this. Should I read up on SQL? Should I learn VBA? I'm trying to get around having to tell the other system administrators to go into each query and change the criteria manually.
Thanks!

I have a word 2010 reports that is linked to an access 2010 form. SQL is used to populate the report with some of the fields from the form. Is it possible to create a combo-box with two selections (Mike, Paul) in it. And then have two other fields populate based on the selection in that combo-box? For example, if Mike is selected then an Address: and Phone Number: fields are filled in with his information. And if Paul is selected his information fills in.

Hi
I have been trying to set up this query via VBA code but, with no luck, have gone back to the query in design view. Basically the parameters of the query are determined by combo boxes in a form. This is fine if one combo box indicates one criteria but a problem arisis when multiple combo boxes are possible parameters for one field.
i.e. Field 1 = combo box one
field 2= combo box two
field three = combo box three, four or five.
i have found it difficult running this, especially in terms of a returning all if a combo is left blank. the problem with setting this up on field three would be that if i run combo box four and five to return all if left blank it overides the other command to set a specific parameter. Also, for some reason i can tdecide whether this is an AND or OR command, its actually both i.e. Field three parameter = combo box three and/or combo box4 etc...
please help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

I am having an issue with a database application I created. I needed to add another query that could be controlled from combo box on a nested form.
The combo box is for dates for entries in a table. Which then filters the query based on the combo box selection. Easy enough stuff.
The problem I am having is that when I try to use the combo box as a criteria for the query using;
[Forms]![MasterForm]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[comboBox]
Access closes and wont let me use the reference to the combo box.
What has happened? Corrupt database? How do I fix it?

I need to create a form that automatically populates Dealer_ID in my Customers table when a user selects Dealership from a dropdown box.
The form is updating all of the user controlled fields in the Customer table as the user inputs the information. I have a separate Dealership table who's Primary Key is Dealer_ID where dealership information (including the dealer name) is stored. A one to many relationship is in place that connects Dealer_ID from the Dealership table to the same field in the Customer table. The user inputting the information will know what the dealership name is but will not know their ID. I need a solution that will allow the user to select a dealership name in the form and auto-populate the Dealer_ID field in the Customer table with the appropriate ID from the Dealership table.

I have created a form with a subform.
When opening the main form I would like to create a macro that is able to set the property visible/not visible for a certain field if a certain condition on another field is satisfied. I Have Office 2010 and with the macro editor I'm not able to make it work. Need writing the text as in the macro editor?
Here below the example:
Main form name: FORM_1
Subform name: SUBFORM_2
Subform field: FIELD_ABC
Subform field: FIELD_123
Subform field: FIELD_CHECK
Opening the form FORM_1, the macro must show the field FIELD_ABC and hide the field FIELD_123 only if FIELD_CHECK is equal to "TEXT OK" ...and the macro must hide the field FIELD_ABC and show the field FIELD_123 only if the field FIELD_CHECK is equal to "TEXT WRONG".
I would like to use the same macro on a report.

I have a parent form and a sub-form. On the parent form is a date field [JOINED] and on the sub-form there is a date field [DATE PAID] and a field [BQ JOINING FEE] with a default format of currency.
I created a macro to set the value of [BQ JOINING FEE] to 0 if ([DATE PAID]>[JOINED]+60). It sets the value to 0 as required but I am unable to get it to format the result as currency.

I'm trying to calculate a numeric value of a field based on the value of another field as a row is created using an "After Insert" macro. To test this I've created a table which has two integer columns "NUMBER1" and "NUMBER2". The macro was defined using the wizard as:
Code:
EditRecord
SetField
Alias
Name NUMBER2
Value = 5+[NUMBER1]
End EditRecord
NUMBER2 is not populated when I enter a value in NUMBER1
I get the following in USysApplicationLog:
Error Description
-20335 EditRecord failed because the default alias represents a record which is read only.

I am filling in a database using forms, and I would like to be able to add standard values to any field using a macro/VBA code I don't want to set up a different macro for each field though - I have around 40 different fields (to elaborate, it's a mark database for student projects, each field is a different thing I am commenting on. I want to quickly add 'Missing' or 'Good' to a field - but I also want the option of free text instead.).can't figure how to do it in MS Access.

I have a situation where I have a report which I will generate to print our companies pricebook. I need an index/table of contents for customers to go to the page where a product is to look up prices. The problem is that we add and subtract products on a consistent basis.
So a new product will get added, but of course, to run alphabetically, there's no way to insert it, then renumber the pages for it to be easily found.to use a maketable query, which sorts all of the products alphabetically. Each time it is run, it will delete the previous table. I then need to have an autonumber field created to create my "page numbers". Yes, each time the pricebook is run, products can and will oftentimes get new page numbers.
So my thought is to have a macro run which creates the autonumber field to the table. This will then be the basis for the form, which will in turn utilize the "page number"/autonumber field to both serve as page numbers in the report. And of course, the table which is created each time will be the "table of contents".

Installed Access 2003 recently and could swear that on a form in design view, sizing a control button for example, by holding down shift key, worked as I expected; it sized up or down by 1/4th of a grid line.
Today, I hold down shift and size a control, and it sizes up or down by one full grid line. Can't find anything in Options that I might have changed, nor in the Format menu.
Does anyone know what may have caused this?

I am new to the Access database building. I am trying to create a Student database for contact information, etc. I have a main table which stores all the users' data. When the student opens the database, I would like to identify the user. They should be able to view everyone's information, but only edit their own. How can i make this happen?
Also, if that is easy enough, I would like to identify when a staff member logs on. This way they can have special permissions to access a schedule searching feature, to look at all the students schedules.
Thanks for the help.

Good Morning,
Im trying to set an ODBC connection to automate the connection process.
The current code I have is:
Set wrkODBC = CreateWorkspace("NewODBCWorkspace", "admin", "", dbUseODBC)
MsgBox "Opening Connection...."
Set MainConn = wrkODBC.OpenConnection("Connection1", dbDriverPrompt, True, "ODBC;DATABASE=live; DSN=live;")
which works fine in bringing up a dialog box to choose the connection.
But what do i write in the database and dsn fields to enable the automation process.
See attached picture for the log in settings. All I have to do is press 'Connect' to start talking to the ODBC.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to my job and ms access and not very savvy in the latter. There are fixes for my problem on the internet, but I really don't understand them.
I'm used to dd-mm-yyyy format and it's tough for me to think in mm-dd-yyyy in, for example, MS outlook. If I change my regional settings, of course, outlook and access follow suit. The access database is shared and we print out records as cover sheets for our files. Thus, it's not an option to have me on dd-mm and others on mm-dd. Is there a way for me to enter mm-dd in when using the database but have dd-mm standard for every other aspect?
If you can help, which I would appreciate immensely, please pretend that I don't know what I'm doing.
Thanks

I designed a query, opened it and printed it. But the margins were too wide and I needed it to print in landscape also. So I changed the settings and it worked fine, but I can't get it to save the settings. Is it possible to save the printer settings for printing a query, both the margin and the landscape settings. If so, please tell me how. Thanks.
