Form 1: I have a combo box on my main menu(MenuMainF) called cboCompanyType with typical values 1,2,3,4,5,etc......
Form 2: I have a command button on my administration menu(MenuAdminF) called cmdDevelopment
My goal is to have the cmdDevelopment button of Form 2 be visible if cboCompanyType on Form 1 is equal to 1,2,3, or 4, but if it is any other value, then cmdDevelopment should be not visible.
i have some command button and some combo box on my form and also a subform. the subform contains some field. the fields used to enter numeric values.
i need to disable my command button on the form based on the subform fields if they r null.
How to use the combo box from the form to control subform button or textbox visible or not?

Hi
I would like to make a command button appear on a form only when certain criteria is put in a control on the form.
For example, one of the controls has a drop down menu. When the user picks "Washed" from this menu I would like a comman button to appear.
The control is called status and the command button is called searchali.
so far I have tried this:in the after update of the control.
If([status] = "Washed", [searchali].visible = True, [searchali].visible = False)
or
If([status] = "Washed" then me.[searchali].visible = true else me.[searchali].visible = false)
an other variations of this and I can't get it to work. I've set the command button to visible = no to start with and the bound column of my control to 0 since I want the first column criteria.
If anyone can see where I might be going wrong, or if there is another way of doing this I would be sooooo grateful!
thanks,
Sie

Help - I have created a control button in a form using the wizard and in design view it is at the top underneath all the headings (in the form header) but when I go to normal view it is not there. I have checked the properties and it is down as visible yes display always and transparent no. I am now stumped as to why it's not there - any help appreciated!! :)

...I created a parameter query in the form of a drop down box that, once an

from a record chosen by the drop-down selection.
The drop down has a command button with the following code in the Onclick

Private Sub cmdCreateReport_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUIRFollowUp", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOpenUIRLookUp"

What code to I need to add to the above to make the form hold the data

If it possible to change if a group is visible based on what page a different group is printed on.
The report I'm working on is a Invoice and it has subtotals in one group and totals in another group.
If the totals are going to print on page 1 then there is no need to print the subtotals. Is there a way to know what page the totals will print on so I can set visible for subtotal group to true or false?
I need to have a subform that shows up smack dab in the middle of my main screen when visible - which is what I want - but only based on a specific value of a control on the main form. Specifically, if a control's value is "See Spreadsheet", I want the subform visible front and center as it contains the link to the server location for that specific record. If the control's value is not "See Spreadsheet", I want the form to be invisible.
My code:
If Me.BudgetsFacultyAccountNumber = "SEE SPREADSHEET" Then
Me.frmMsgBoxUpdateSpreadsheet.Form.Visible = True
Me.BudgetsFacultyServerLocation.Visible = True
Else:
Me.frmMsgBoxUpdateSpreadsheet.Form.Visible = False
Me.BudgetsFacultyServerLocation.Visible = False
End If
The red lines result in an MS VBA error: "Compile error: Method or data member not found."
I've tried referencing that subform a hundred different ways, but I can't get it to work.
My company has a new database that we will use to track PTO (paid time off/vacation), including the submission/approval process. Not everyone should have access to the approval dashboard as that should be restricted to only managers. Everyone will have the same basic form so that they can see their PTO history, hours remaining to be used, etc.
What I want to do is have a button on the form that is visible only if the person is a manager. The button will open the PTO approval form. How can I make a button visible/invisible based on user access levels?
I can do this if there is one record: ie
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.field1 ="DontShow" Then
Me.cmd_splt.Visible = True
Else
Me.cmd_splt.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
This creates a button that masks my radio button i.e. hides it. However this only works on single forms.
I need it to be different for each record in a continuous form.
I am putting the code in the "OnOpen" property. Maybe that's my problem?
I've also tried conditional formatting but it wont over-ride a transparent text box.
I'm quite new to Acces (2010) . Currently, I'm working on a form in which certain fields are set to invisible. I'd like to toggle fields to visible based on the button clicked.
Example:
Field 1: O No O Yes --> When No is clicked Field 2 (containing a date) becomes visible
--> When Yes is clicked Field 3 and 4 (both yes/no fields) become visible

Greetings. I have three forms that are open at the same time. They are related and cascading. The first form (frmEventAdd) is the anchor. Each event can have many Trials. The second form is frmTrialInfo. Each Trial can have three Classes. The third form is frmClassInfo. These forms are used for update and adding new records.
The user displays an event for update (frmEventAdd). Then clicks on a button to display the Trials for that event (opens frmTrialInfo). frmTrialInfo displays information for one Trial at a time. The user clicks on a button to display class information for that trial (frmClassInfo).
One of the fields on frmClassInfo is called cboJudge. It's a combobox with names of Judges (judges of dog competitions). The judge information in the combobox comes from two tables: tblPeople and tblJudges. If the user wants to add a new judge they may click on the btnNewJudge. btnNewJudge will open a form that is used to add a new person (frmPeople).
Because frmPeople is opened from many different points in the application, I found it easier to simply make the three, already opened, forms INVISIBLE.
So...command button btnNewJudge opens frmPeople and makes frmEventAdd, frmTrialInfo, and frmClassInfo INVISIBLE.
When frmPeople is closed (btnClose), it checks to see if each of the previously opened/visible windows is open and then makes each VISIBLE, again. frmEventAdd and frmTrialInfo reappear just fine. However frmClassInfo does not.
I have traced the btnClose_Click routine in frmPeople and it certainly looks like every line of code is being hit, but the line that should make frmClassInfo visible does not do anything (nor does it generate any error).
Here is the code from btnClose_Click in frmPeople. Can you help me?

I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?
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've searched this forum and have been reading for over 2 hours now and still can't find an answer to this (although I have learned a bunch of other stuff :) ). So I appoligize if this have been answered before...
When I open my form my tab control is off screen (above the current view). I can use the slider on the left to move back up to the top of the form and see them... but why can't I make this happen automatically. This happens because one of my tabs is quite long (has several sub-forms on it). I even tried putting an empty label box above the tab control but it doesn't seem to help. I've turned off the Auto-Center and the Auto-Resize for the form. I can't find anything that helps.
Any idea? Please help.
Thanks,
Jeff
Hello all:
Right now, I have a contact database with email addresses, and would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to implement a command button that when I click on it, it will do the action as clicking on a link that says
mailto:anyone@anyone.com
If I type the mailto: before the email address, and click on it, it will open the email message window, but I am looking for a way to have the user click on a button and then it opens the email message window.
My field for the email is fldEmail
any suggestions?

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 have a dashboard-style form that has a list box with tasks connected to a query with line items of those tasks.
I have another query that will only show the line item selected from the list box. This means the query will only have one line item.
I want to have a command button below the list box that, when clicked, will modify the solo item in the second query to change a yes/no field from no to yes.
How can I accomplish this? Also, how can I make a button that deletes the selected line item?
Is there any way to press a command button a certain amount of times based on a value in a text box.
i.e.
text box value = 5
button gets pressed 5 times with one click...
hey guys i was just wondering if anyone knew the code to make a table visible via changing a combo box. i know for a form its simply
Form_formname.visible=True
i am trying to make my tab control visible, after i did it visible=false in the open form event.
the problem is that the button that supposed to open the tab control is locates in a form and the tab control is located as a sub form.
it doesnt recognize any version of writing that i am trying.
details:
main form - "f_1"
sub form - "f_2"
the btn - btn1 (located in the main form)
the tabctl - tblctrl1 (located in the sub form)
please advice
Hello all.
I have orders being entered, some of which may be in any one of several categories for which we need additional information. I would like to be able to have either a set of checkboxes answering the question "Check the appropriate box if the order is one of the following types" ... or ... have a radio-button selection where only one can be chosen at a time. That is important... that only one be able to be chosen at a time. It is possible to have orders outside this set of choices, and no selection made at all. Once the selection is made, I'd like either the appropriate fields to show in the main form... or ... have the appropriate subform show based on the entry from the checkboxes or radio selection.
I could have
OrderEntryForm containing
checkboxes or radio selection for Type1, Type2, Type3 with the appropriate Type1fields, Type2fields, and Type3fields hidden until the right checkbox or radio button is selected.
or
OrderEntryForm containing
checkboxes or radio selection for Type1, Type2, Type3 with the appropriate subforms Type1form, Type2form, and Type3form hidden until the right checkbox or radio button is selected.
There's only one problem: I have no idea how to make this happen... nor which way of doing this is best. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Tom
