My question is how can I make data in a form visible or invisible just by a button. In other words, if I have a group of buttons, based on the button selected I would want certain data to appear.
I know that this is possible, I have seen it done but just cannot find out how to do it or what this is called to look it up in Helps.
Thanks,

I am trying to make a button on a form visible and invisible dependant on the contents of a field in my form, any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I know there have been a good number of questions about visibility in forms already but I couldn't find a solution to my problem (or maybe I just didn't get it).
Basically, I have a tabular form (more than one record displayed at once) and one the field is of the Yes/No type. For each record, I'd like to have a text box that displays 'pending', set as visible if the field value is 'Yes' and set as invisible if the field value is 'No'.
The table is as follows:
id : auto-number
Flag: Yes/No [Yes]
If I use the following code on the Flag button:
Private Sub Flag_AfterUpdate()
Me.pending2.Visible = Me.Flag.Value
End Sub
all the 'pending' text boxes appear and disappear together (instead of just the relevant one).
I thought of using another text box, with the same data source ('Flag') but which would set itself to visible or invisible wrt to its own value but I couldn't find a way to do it.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
and many thanks already for the forum and the contributions - it's been extremely helpful, esp. for a beginner.
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 tried searching a few threads, but can't get the answer or perhaps i'm tired. Anyway I have a YES/NO field and a command button. I want the button to be visible only if the yes field has been selected. No = invisible button.
Thanx
I was able to use coding for making controls visible or not in the attached database.
I have a main form with a tab control that has 3 tabs with subforms in them.
What I am not able to do is in the Tab Control I want the 3rd tab to be invisible and on the second tab where it says “May we go through the questions now?”, I have a check box. When that check box is checked I want the 3rd tab to become visible.
I am having problems figuring out this code to reference the Tab Control Page.
Do you have any suggestions?
I can attached the database if necessary.
I appreciate any help that you can give me.
I am trying to make a subform appear when a particular entry is selected from a list box. I did a test... no problem. In my real database... well, you know. Here's my code:
----
On my main form property:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
If Me![ProjectSubType] = "Commercial Chest" Then
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = True
Else
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = False
End If
End Sub
----
On my list box property:
Private Sub ProjectSubType_AfterUpdate()
If Me![ProjectSubType] = "Commercial Chest" Then
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = True
Else
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

on a report that has 2 pages, how can I make a text box in the bottom of the report page 1 invisible, but visible on page 2
you help will be much appreciated

Form name: TestForm
Combobox name: cboName
Names in combobox: Rick, John, Sarah
Feilds: Feild1 Feild2 Feild3
EDIT: The names in the combobox are coming from their own table, they were not manually put into the combobox.
Here is some pseudocode for what I kind of want to do...
[open TestForm]
if cboName = Rick
Field1.Visible = true
Field2.Visible = false
Field3.Visible = false
if cboName = John
Field1.Visible = false
Field2.Visible = true
Field3.Visible = false
if cboName = Sarah
Field1.Visible = false
Field2.Visible = false
Field3.Visible = true
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.
I've accomplished some simpler things like hiding fields based on the data in another field but nothing very complex. To the point: I have a report that shows data in both rows and columns, the report has a 7 columns, 3 of which could or could not contain data other than zero, in which case the column is not displayed. The problem I have is that it could be any of those three at any given time depending on what data is available for that report and what the user wants to see. Basically, if a given company has no data regarding column "A", then column A is hidden, but the main grouping is done through rows so all companies contain at least 0 for all columns (what I did is that, if a field sums the whole column returns 0, then the column is not visible). What I need to get working is the second part of this, have the columns rearrange themselves depending on which column is hidden (it could be that all 3 are hidden). How could I make this work? (btw, autoshrink is not usefull for this since it only shrinks vertically, not horizontally).

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 have been trying to figure out how to make a textbox if it is null to be invisible on a report.

I have the following code. In the Else part of the code, after the wb.Activate line, what code can I place here that will assign wb.Name to the objExcelApp object ao that when the line .Visible = False kicks in, it will make the already opened MS Excel file invisible.
Code:
Dim strExcelFile As String
Dim wb As Workbook
Set objExcelApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If objExcelApp Is Nothing Then
Set objExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

I am trying to improve my code by making it more readible. The following code works, but it is certainly not the most efficient way. I`m trying to write a loop to make certain elements in an Access report visible/invisible, but I can`t address the visibility property of these items while iterating over i.

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,

Hi guys,
I have a form (frmMain) which contains 3 subforms and they are being set to visible at different stages of application run (depending on the options selected).
In subfrm_Main_options i have 3 buttons, clicking on 'Job Review' will make the subfrm_Search visible. In the subfrm_Search i have 2 labels, 'View Jobs' and 'View Report' and I only want the 'View Jobs' to be visible!
I have tried setting the visible property of this label to False in the subfrm_Main_Options but its giving me an error (saying the form subfrm_Search is closed or does not exist in the database!). I also tried using a Global Variable (ViewJobs - declared in module mdlPublicVars) and set it to True once the 'Job Review' is clicked in the subfrm_Main_Options form, and then look at this in subfrm_Search and then display the correct label. However after trying to put this code in various events such as, On Open, On Got Focous, On Activation, ... i didnt get the result i wanted!
Can any1 please help me out with this. I would be really grateful!
PS. The buttons appearing on the form are placed on the frmMain, I did that to see if it appears on the main form but they must be in subfrm_Search!
The database is attached!
Thanks, Maisam
I sent a post earlier today about making a label visible in a subform! I am still working on it but still no progress!
I have a different scenario (its the same thing but trying to explain the method i'm working on):
I have one main form (frmMain) that contains 3 subforms, say subfrm1, subfrm2 and subfrm3. On Open only 1 is visible and 2 and 3 are invisible (however they are open and loaded).
By choosing an option on 1 subfrm2 becomes available! When choosing an option on subfrm1 a boolean called 'XXX' is set to true. Now i want one particular label to become visible in subfrm2 if 'XXX' is true! To do this i need to write a code to be executed when subfrm2 is appears on screen! The problem is this form is already open so how and on which event of subfrm2 can i write the code???
At the moment i'm trying to refresh subfrm2 (by using code in subfrm1) and I have placed my code on the On Load event of subfrm2. I thought this way the form will reload and the On Loand event will pick up the new value for boolean XXX and set the label to visible! Thats the idea anyway... here is the code i have in subfrm1:
XXX = True
Forms![frmMain].subfrm2.Form.Refresh
subfrm1.Visible = False
subfrm2.Visible = True
I'm not sure if refreshing the subform will result in On Load event to be executed! And i'm not even sure that the code for refreshing subfrm2 is correct. Can any1 help me with this?
I have attached the actual database on my previous post sent today, if you prefer to look at the whole thing and get a feel of the problem!
I'm opening forms to get data then closing using VB code.
Is there a way to stop the screen showing these forms as the code runs
something like Display refresh off then display refresh on.
Just to hide my workings.
I'm trying to get some labels and eventually text boxes to become visible on an input of a qty in a text box, but I can't get my syntax right.Here's what I have so far.

Dim pumplbl As String
For count = 1 To [More qty].Value
pumplbl = "pumplbl" & count
pumplbl.Visible = True
Next count
End Sub
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".
How to make a form open with data from a table based on a date and time in the/a table?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have few forms that look fine when in Design view, but which appear as plain grey screens when opened in Form view. These were working perfectly (i.e. visible in both views) until about half an hour ago.
The only things I have changed are some of the calculations behind certain fields.
Any thoughts?
