Making A MsgBox Appear After A Blank Record Is Shown?
Mar 10, 2005hi,
i have a form, which when opened, gives me a blank record. which is what i asked it to do in the OnOpen property. however, i also need a msg box to popup - but after the form has been opened. i tried placing both pieces of 'code' into the OnOpen property, however, the popup displays first, then the form opens.
so currently i have:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Select Case MsgBox("Please select the Registration Number from the drop down menu or type it in", vbOKOnly, "Select Registration Number")
End Select
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
but it does the same thing. so, is there a way to make the msg box appear after the form opens with a blank record?
thank you in advance :D
General :: Pop Up Process Running MsgBox And Close Automatically On Execution
Aug 23, 2013I have a form that loads when the database is open, and the form has buttons etc. that leads to queries and reports in the database. (Queries open in a form). Since most queries take a while to load, I was wondering if there is a way to Pop up a message box stating "Please Wait, Query is running..." (or something like that), and once the form opens the MsgBox should close automatically. (The user should not have to hit Ok button.)
Most users of this database would have restricted access such that they would not have navigation pane and toolbar visible - hence I want to make it a touch more interactive when a process is running...also if someone is new to access they might not notice that taskbar status and I don't want them thinking the program is stuck etc..
Making Controls On Form Update Automatically
Aug 3, 2006I have a couple of drop down menus on a form i have designed which have values which are dependent on another drop down.
So, for example, when i select USA in country, the US$, appears in my currency box but i have to select US$ from the drop down when i want it to appear automatically.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Cheers
Also, i have a calcualtion attached to a text box:
[Text87] = (1 / [List93]) * [Combo85]
However, the calculation will not be performed, even on click, until [List93] has been clicked on. [List93] is a constant value and is a hidden field so how can i make access perform the calculation without clickin [List93]
Many thanks in advance
Cheers again
Relationships Disappear!!
Jul 11, 2006Hi all
I am trying to give a new user access to the front end of a DB.
When I copy the FE from the server to the local C drive ( Windows XP)
the FE loses all its relationships and the user is not able to query anything.
I go back to the server and find that the FE is just fine on the file server.
I also tried running the FE from my PC ( Windows 2000 SP4) and it works fine.
Do any of you know what the issue could be.
I also checked to see that the new user has permissions on the folder on which the file is located on the server and she does...
Any thoughts on what the problem could be would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Warnings Disappear
Oct 27, 2006Recently
I have noticed that the "warnings" in my access 200o database no longer pop up. As example, if I went to delete a table or record, I used to get a pop up warning from MS Access asking for confirmation. Now the record just deletes without a warning. This seems to be happening with other things too.
Any thoughts ???
Thanks

Criteria Disappear
Feb 17, 2006Hi, I am new to access and I have found important tricks in this forum. Thanks to everybody
Now, I am trying to use a query with multiple criteria. In particular it has to query a table that contains info about candidates tblCands using text boxes, check boxes etc etc present in a form.
First, it works correctly but if I close the form and re-run it, statements in query disappear.
Could someone indicate me what would be the problem?
Thanks in advance
Controls On Subform Disappear
Mar 31, 2005Well this is going to take a bit of explaining, because my colleagues and I are totally baffled.
I have an Access 2000 front end connected to a Sql production server. I went to make some changes to my forms and subforms, but I did not want to do it with the live data. So I made a copy of the database to my own Sql server on my desktop. So far so good . . . Now when I opened my main form, my subform appeared, but its controls were invisible--I still had not touched the code.
I looked at all the properties for my form and subforms and it is set to Visible and Display always. Now, even stranger, when I advanced my records, if the subform had data its controls would become visible, and then disappear again when I reached a record that had no data for the subform (the main form and the subform are bound to two seperate tables within my database, all the subform controls are bound as are the majority of the form's controls).
Then I went to the code. Nowhere do I change the Visible related properties within the form/subform code. I decided to put a Stop in the Form_Current code of the subform and see what happens as I advance from record to record. What happened was that when I reached a record with subform data present the stop would be read and I would toggle through the Form_Current code. When I would reach a record with no subform data, the Form_Current code would not be read as evidenced by there being no Stop action.
Anyone have an idea of what's going on? Something gets changed when I connect to my local SQL server. Even when I reconnect to the production server the problem remains. Its like some property changes, although I cannot find it, and it is changed permanently. The only property I play with by code is that I enable the controls of the subform when there is NO data in the subform, and I disable the controls when there is data. This code follows:
Private Sub Form_Current()
On Error GoTo Err_Form_Current
If Me!AssignedNumber = True Then
Me!AssignedNumber.Enabled = False
Me!txtWTNumber.Locked = True
Else
Me!AssignedNumber.Enabled = True
Me!txtWTNumber.Locked = False
End If
Exit_Form_Current:
Exit Sub
Err_Form_Current:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Form_Current
End Sub
Finally I tried to set Visible to true within my code for the individual controls, but that still did not overide the problem. I connect to my server via an ODBC connection to a .dsn.
Thanks in advance for bearing with me,
Tony
Stored Procedures Disappear
Feb 27, 2008Sometimes when I send a copy of an Access 2003 application to a remote user, a stored procedure or function will disappear. What causes this, and how can I get the entire application over to the users?
Thanks in advance!
Table Data Disappear
Jun 3, 2015I use Access2007 under Windows 8.1 64 bits.Just ignore any message related to a splash form.The form will register revenues in the table TblLanc Receita sPJ. When either saving record input or closing the form, incomplete records must be eliminated from the table. When opening the form you should be able to see the unbound list of revenue inputs made. The list will show empty though because the last time I closed the form thru the button Close, table data disappears. Also, the same happens if I get into the form design mode to analyze the code and re-execute the form.
Please, click on the button Add to input a couple of revenue records thru the form to verify what I just said.I translated relevant input fields so the input should not be a problem. Fields named Quotation, Direct Purchase, and Contract, can be filled in with any data... just make sure only one of these fields per record be input, otherwise you'll get a pokayoke message. Save each input. After 2 or 3 record inputs, close the form and re-open it. Table will be empty. Redo and save new inputs. Go to the form design mode just because. Re-execute the form. Table will be empty again.
Another point is I want to click on a record of the unbound list and have the clicked record fields properly filled in the form. From that point I would decide if the record would be deleted or changed. The functionality of the entire code works but the selection on the list. In other words I do not understand why I am not able to fill in the form with the selected record fields. My code should do that but it does not.

Under Tool/Startup.., Security Disappear, I Want It Back
Sep 13, 2006Hello Access experts,
I am using MSAccess 2002. I have removed the tables and queries to reduce file size. I have set database password as "planning". In the form named "Form1" I have created a Shift-Key Enable/Disable button with password "SIMON". In Menu Starup, I have also disallowed Display Database Window, disallowed Built-in Toolbars and disallowed Toolbar/Menu Changes. Now I have problem because I cant unset the Security password and make changes in Startup.. because the Menu Tool/Security, Startup..etc have disappeared. How do I get them back again?
Thanks in advance.
Option Group ==> Make Fields Disappear
Aug 28, 2005hey, i hav seen a similar thread about this (i think bout a year ago or so) and i didnt no whether to continue it or start a new thread.Option boxes - Making items visible
that thread did not fully answer my question and after searchin around n finding nuthin i hav decided to ask
in my form i have the payment methods=> cash, cheque, credit. i did have these in a drop down menu, but i wasnt sure how to do what i wanted...which is based on the selection either make a couple of fields (credit card details etc) visible or invisible. so what i have done is changed the drop down list into an option group with radio buttons.
i currently have this coding
Code:Private Sub Frame_Click()If Me.Frame.Value = 3 ThenMe.CardHolder_Name.Visible = TrueMe.Credit_Card_Number.Visible = TrueMe.Expiry_Date.Visible = TrueMe.Type.Visible = TrueElseIf Me.Frame.Value = 2 ThenMe.CardHolder_Name.Visible = FalseMe.Credit_Card_Number.Visible = FalseMe.Expiry_Date.Visible = FalseMe.Type.Visible = FalseElseIf Me.Frame.Value = 1 ThenMe.CardHolder_Name.Visible = FalseMe.Credit_Card_Number.Visible = FalseMe.Expiry_Date.Visible = FalseMe.Type.Visible = FalseExit SubEnd IfEnd Sub
this seems to work although say if my first record has credit card selected, then all the fields are visible, but wen i move onto the next record which is cash or cheque...they are still visible until i reselect cash or credit again..(and vice versa)
i hope this makes sense :P
thanks
Reports :: Why Does A Completely Unreferenced Text Box Disappear
Apr 5, 2013In a report there is a text box that disappears if certain data appears in a record. It is supposed to disappear but I cannot determine why it is disappearing and I need to fix the criteria that make it disappear.
The text box is unbound (the control source is ="Bonus Point Legend"), and there is not any code that refers to it, nor are there any references to it in a query (I can delete the text box and the report runs just fine). Interestingly, if I add a new text box and use the paint brush to format it based off the one in question, it also disappears and acts just like the one in question. But I can't find any code that even references a generic control and makes it invisible. The tag field is not in use either.
Making Specific Fields In A Current Record Copy Themselves When Making New Record
Mar 28, 2005;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
Thanks

Queries :: Make All Data Disappear When In Datasheet View
Nov 22, 2013I have a query that's been working fine for years, however...the powers that be have requested a change. We need to track the lining owners in cars. We've recently gone to SQL on the back end (which I basically know NOTHING about) but I set up the new table, refreshed the connection, etc.
I can see the table fine and it says it has a primary key, auto numbers, etc. however, as you can see from the jpg below when I add the table to the query and link the id as in all the other tables, for some reason, this one makes all the data disappear when in datasheet view.If I delete the table from the query - it all comes back.
Forms :: Contents Disappear In Form Or Layout View
Jul 17, 2013I seem to be having an issue with a split form I've been working on. I created this split form on Monday and it was working just fine but today, I have added a couple minor text boxes. Since then, I can view the form contents in Design View but when I switch to "Form View" or "Layout View", it's all gone minus the logo in the top left corner and the title for the split form.

Forms :: Locking Main Form Controls Causes Data In Subform To Disappear?
Dec 12, 2014So I am creating a Complaint Tracking Database with Access 2013. In my 'complaint entry form' I have added to ability to "Open" and "Close" the complaint. While the complaint is open the user is able to enter/edit data in the complaint (new or old). When the complaint is "Closed" (done so with a button on the form that prompts the user to enter a date of their choice) the user should not be able to enter/edit data in the given complaint. In my original thinking, I placed checks on various events (on load, after update, on click) that checked to see if the current complaint had a date in the "Close date" field.
If the close date field was null then that meant that the complaint was open and the the controls would NOT be locked. If the close date field was NOT null (i.e. a date was present) then the complaint was closed and the main form fields were locked but the data was still viewable and unless they "re-opened" the complaint they could not change the data.
Now, in the complaint entry form, I have a subform that acts as a action tracker that is used by the user to keep track of the actions taken on the complaint (i.e. they requested documentation from such and such on this date..etc). My problem through all of this is upon closing the complaint and locking the main form controls, my subforms data just vanishes! At first I figured the problem might be with the linking of master and child fields, so I made sure that I left the ID in the main form unlocked when I loop through my controls during the locking process. This did not solve my problem. Code below:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim ctl As Control
If Not IsNull(Me.close_date) Then
Me.FormHeader.Visible = True
Me.btnClosed.Enabled = False
Me.btnOpen.Enabled = True
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
[Code] .....
Forms :: Default Values Disappear If Put Values In Text Boxes
Sep 17, 2013In Access 2010 I have a Data Entry Form on which I have an unbound textbox in the header that the user can put a default date in. In the body of the form is a bound textbox that records the date and the default value is set as =defaultdatestat (obviously the name of the box in the header).
Problem: The default date shows up perfectly until a value is put in any of the other text boxes.
For further info : If you put values in text boxes default value disappears; if you then push escape the default value reappears when the values in the text boxes disappear.

MsgBox - Help
Feb 21, 2005Im want to create a msgbox that pops up when a parameter is entered wrong.
Ive created a query to search for customers - When run a box pops up saying 'Please enter surname' - If correct then a record appears.
If the surname is incorrect i get a blank table. I want a msgbox to pop up saying something like 'No Records Found. Please Try Again'.
Ive also created a button on a form which runs the query, this works fine:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command0_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Customer Search"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
Exit_Command0_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command0_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command0_Click
End Sub
How can i change this so a msgbox appears if nothing is found?
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance... :)
