I am trying to use VBA to address a field in three different subforms on a form. When I am in the VBA environment writing the code, I noticed that only two of the subforms are listed in the Project window on the upper left. I ignored that and wrote the code anyway, and when I execute the code, it works fine for the two subforms in the Project window, but when it gets to the third subform, it throws this error:
"MS Office Access can't find the field '|' referred to in your expression."
The code is this:
Private Sub Test_Number_AfterUpdate()
[Form_Consumables Entry].Test_Number.DefaultValue = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value
[Form_Squawk Entry].Test_Number.DefaultValue = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value
[Form_Event Log Entry].Test_Number.Value = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value
End Sub
Can anyone tell me how to make all of my forms available to VBA?

So, that when a lame user opens it , he wouldnt change the existing data on an existing record. How to solve this problem? Kindly help. thanks
Could anyone out there tell me if it is possible to make the output on an Access form read only. I want to be able to input information as records, but when it is saved I don't want it be able to be altered. Mainly I am saving recipes on a form, and I don't want my children to be able to add anything to a record once it has been saved. Thanks in advance Ken
I have a subform that shows notes entered but if there is more text in the field then you cant see it all. Can I make it so that this field will grow so the whole input is visible or can I make it so when you click on it it opens in a larger window showing all the txt?
Is it possible to make a control have a fixed position so that when the form is vertically scrolled the object stays in the same position?
I have a continuous form that shows records based on criteria that the user puts into an earlier form. There is a close button on the page but you cannot see the close button if you horizontally scroll too far along the page. You have to horizontally scroll because of the amount of fields that are on the form.
- My second table contains if it is hardware or software:
- TypeID (Primairy key) - ApparaatID - Type (where I entered hardware and software in 2 different entries)
- The thirt table contains operating systems:
- OSID (Primairy key) - ApparaatID - TypeID - OS_versie (where I entered all the OS I want to enter)
Now I made a form I called problemen with 4 comboboxes.
- cboApparaat - cboType - cboOS - cboProbleem
1) What I want is that when you select device 1 and 4 that cboType can select both hardware and software but with device 2 and 3 you can only select software.
2) If you have selected software is cboType I want you to be able to select 1 of the 11 OS I have pre-entered in the table.
3) That you get specific problems with the previous made choices. For example if you select Hardware in cboType, thta you only get problems with hardware to select from and the same with software and OS.
4) I want a textbox, that will contain the solution of the problem you selected and that if there and several solutions that you get all of them at once.
hiding parts of a form if a option button is selected. There are two option buttons and two parts to the form. I would like each part of the form greyed out or made invisible depending on which radio option button is selected.
I have got 3 forms, and at the time of running, I want to make one primarily one form to be showing up and the other 2 to be hidden or closed, and the primary form will have 2 buttons, and clickning respective buttons should be able to open another 2 respective forms.
At the moment am using, DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", which works fine, but am confused in brining the form 1 only to be shown at the first most time.
I have a subform with continuous records. One of the fields in the recordset of the subform is a field named "Remarks". This field does not need to be visible on the continuous subform as it is rare that this field will have any entries.
I plan to apply conditional formatting on another field (IDcardNo) in the record line of the continuous subform so that when field "Remarks" contains any data it will show as a different format on the field IDcardNo.
I would like to make a small form appear when one points to the IDcardNo field with the different format, so that the data in the field "Remarks" pops up when one points to the field IDcardNo with altered format, showing that there is data in the field "Remarks".
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...
I've created and tested my database. What step or steps do I take now to make it so it's a program that only shows the forms and menu's I created, not all the Tables, Queries etc and the formatting options? Is there a link that explains what to do step by step?
I am having a problem with making a textbox visible on a form if a checkbox is checked on the same form. I have done research on this site and have written the code below, but I am getting a Syntax error, see yellow highlight.
- My checkbox is named: Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP - My textbox is named: Date of Current IP Admission (I have defaulted this textbox to not visible).
Here's the code I have written:
Private Sub Case_is_a_Readmission_from_WRCA_IP_to_WRCA_IP_Clic k() If Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP =true then Date of Current IP Admission.visible=true Else Date of Current IP Admission.visible=false
I have a form that shows a companies engagement with our company. If someone wants to edit the details of that company (address phone number etc...), they click the "edit" button, which then opens a form where edits can be performed.
After the edits are done, the user clicks a save and close button which runs docmd.runcommand acCmdSaveRecord, and returns to the companies engagement form.
When I return to the company engagement form, I would like to see the companies information reflect the changes that I just made. Currently, I can only do this by exiting the form and re-opening. I have tried using Me.Requery in the OnGotFocus, Activate and Current events to no avail.
I should mention that I have a company combo box with multiple columns that are used to display address, postal code, etc... in textboxes on the same form.
On my database I have a text box that accepts a map grid that starts with two letters. If the letters arnt within certain perameters then the box turns red and a message box appears informing the user of this. My probem is that I am using a continuous form and if one box goes red, they all go red if the grids are OK. my code is below, can anyone help?
Private Sub Grid_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Me.Grid) Then Exit Sub If Me.Text289 = "UK" Then Select Case Left(Me.Grid, 2) Case "ST", "SY", "SU", "SZ" Me.Grid.BackColor = 16777215 Case Else MsgBox "Invalid Biagram for your chosen Database.", vbExclamation Me.Grid.BackColor = 225 Cancel = True End Select End If If Me.Text289 = "Germany" Then Select Case Left(Me.Grid, 2) Case "MB", "NB", "NC", "MC" Me.Grid.BackColor = 16777215 Case Else MsgBox "Invalid Biagram for your chosen Database.", vbExclamation Me.Grid.BackColor = 225 Cancel = True End Select End If If Me.Text289 = "Desert" Then Select Case Left(Me.Grid, 2) Case "NJ", "NH", "NK" Me.Grid.BackColor = 16777215 Case Else MsgBox "Invalid Biagram for your chosen Database.", vbExclamation Me.Grid.BackColor = 225 Cancel = True End Select End If End Sub

I want to make a graph that will show how many employees are in the company for each year (Going back 10 years and keeping up to date) I have never done this before and our teacher feels that its best if we learn on our own (basicaly he's an idiot).
How do I go about using the pivot chart?
I have made a query which adds up the total number of employees at the current time.. but apart from that I havent a clue. I want the graph to have the years on the bottom and numbers up the side (1,2,3,4,5 etc) and then the number of employees that were in the company during that year will be plotted.
I will use a table that is to be used for archiving to mke the query as it will have all the employees who were ever in the system record.
The table is thus:
Employee_ID Emp_First_Name Emp_Surname Age Emp_Home_Number Emp_Mobile_Number Emp_Address_1 (so on and including postcode) Date_Started Position_ID
I have no idea what to do other than to rename the axes and change the increments, but they are jsut numbers, no dates or anything.
I am having error message when I tried to make my mdb file to mde. The error message is "MS Access unable to create an MDE database". Reading through the help message it says that this problem always occurrs in trying to compile large db into MDE. So what can I do to solve this problem. Also what is MS access memory capacity. thanks
:mad:Is there anyway, I can tell who is making my backups. Is there any thing I can use to find out who is creating a backup. I have sent out emails to the users, but no one will confess who is doing yet. I have 200 users now. I have talk to our IT people, they mention it would take a lot of there time to track it down.
One column is "Unitary Price", another one is "Quantity" and another one is "Tax"
And I want another column called "Total" that shows: Unitary Price*Quantity+Tax*Price*Quantity
Is this possible to be made?? :( I'm a bit newbie to MS Access, so try to explain as most detailed as you can! For example, if I have to write [Unitary Price] between brackets... I tried doing this on the "Default Value" field of the column but I couldn't make it.
I'm trying to make totals in a query, but instead of using all, I need to leave one out, how to do that? for example the table looks like: A 2 3 B 4 6 C 2 5 D 3 5 E 2 3 How can I leave row 1 out? So that the query will look like: 11 19
The MainMenu calls the other 3, when I execute the mde file the only form opened is the frmAddEmployee! it should open the frmMainMenu because this one calls the others....! I've tried several times....the same result!
