Modules & VBA :: Look Up A Value In Table That Enable Or Disable Subform In Main Form
May 20, 2015I have written code to look up a value in a table that then enables or disables a subform in my main form. The code works, but I know it is now as efficient as it can be. The main problem is that I have multiple values that determine if the subform should be enabled or disabled. I would like to use an IN statement but I'm pretty sure this doesn't work for Dlookup. Below is an example of the code I currently have:
Code:
Sub enablecontrols(setting As Boolean)
Inv_subform.Enabled = setting
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current()
[Code] ....
Like I said, this works fine, but I am concerned if I need to add more items to look up and the stability of the code in general.
Yes/no Enable Disable
May 23, 2005Here is my problem: When a certain yes/no box is true (checked) other fields on the form are not enabled. That works just find when I am on the record that I click the yes/no field. When I go to another record and then go back to the previous record the fields that should be disabled due to a certain yes/no box being true are now enabled and not disabled. Below is my code. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Enable/Disable BypassKey
May 1, 2007On searching the forum, I found the following post for enabling/disabling BypassKey. I did as instructed but on clicking the label, it gives 'syntax error with 'On Error Goto' in red color and highlighted.
Hello af1112 welcome to the Forum...
I use this code that ghudson supplied at the beginning of this post.
First of all create a copy of your db (Just incase.. )
Now......
Create a label on a form somewhere and make it invisible to other users
(I have mine hidden in my main Switchboard)
The idea is that by clicking on the label you can activate/de activate the code without anyone else knowing about what you are doing..
Name the label "bDisableBypassKey" & hide it somewhere in the corner of your screen or something.
Copy & Paste the code inbetween the bold text to the onclick event of the label you have just created
Private Sub bDisableBypassKey_Click()
On Error GoTo
Err_bDisableBypassKey_Click
'This ensures the user is the programmer needing to disable the Bypass Key
Dim strInput As String
Dim strMsg As String
Beep
strMsg = "Do you want to enable the Bypass Key?" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "Please key the programmer's password to enable the Bypass Key."
strInput = InputBox(Prompt:=strMsg, Title:="Disable Bypass Key Password")
If strInput = "MY PASSWORD" Then 'Change password to your own
ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", DB_BOOLEAN, True
Beep
MsgBox "The Bypass Key has been enabled." & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Shift key will allow the users to bypass the startup options the next time the database is opened.", vbInformation, "Set Startup Properties"
Else
Beep
ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", DB_BOOLEAN, False
MsgBox "Incorrect ''AllowBypassKey'' Password!" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Bypass Key was disabled." & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Shift key will NOT allow the users to bypass the startup options the next time the database is opened.", vbCritical, "Invalid Password"
Exit Sub
End If
Exit_bDisableBypassKey_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_bDisableBypassKey_Click:
MsgBox "bDisableBypassKey_Click", Err.Number, Err.Description
Resume Exit_bDisableBypassKey_Click
End Sub
Now paste this code in the Double click event of the same label
Private Sub bDisableBypassKey_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Private Sub Disable_Click()
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function ChangeProperty(strPropName As String, varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Integer
Dim dbs As Object, prp As Variant
Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
Set dbs = CurrentDb
On Error GoTo Change_Err
dbs.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
ChangeProperty = True
Change_Bye:
Exit Function
Change_Err:
If Err = conPropNotFoundError Then ' Property not found.
Set prp = dbs.CreateProperty(strPropName, _
varPropType, varPropValue)
dbs.Properties.Append prp
Resume Next
Else
' Unknown error.
ChangeProperty = False
Resume Change_Bye
End If
End Function
To Test
click on your label to activate the password prompt
and type in the wrong password (that will now disable the bypass key) and you will not be able to open the db by holding down the Shift button
to disable enter the correct password and you will be able to use the Shift button
Would someone help?
Enable/Disable Entries
May 9, 2006Hi there I am new to Access and I am currently modifying an existing DB. Currently this DB has a main table which holds a bunch of Patient info such as:
Name
Age
AssignedStaff
Condition
etc....
The assigned staff field is populated from another table (Staff), which holds all the staff members working at the institution. However a couple of these individuals have left and they no longer want their name to show up on the form when inserting a new record. However we do want there name to still be in the DB for historical reporting purposes......My intital thought was to create another field in the Staff table that would hold either a "Active" or "Inactive" entry. Then just have a simple If statement to see if the staff member is active or inactive. Does anyone see any problems with this solution or propose a more efficient method.
Thanks
Enable/Disable Not Working
Aug 2, 2005I am creating a data entry form with combo boxes related to two different tables:
TblEducationID
EducationID - Auto# PK
Education - Text
TblMediaFill
MediaFillID - auto# PK
Incubation Time- text
Incubation Temp - text
In my form, I have a combo box that the user selects the Education Type (Media Fill Test; Aseptic Technique Observation, Watch Video, etc....)
I want the incubation time and temp text boxes to be disabled unless Media Fill Test (ID#4) is selected on the first combo box. (I get a Procedure Declaration does not match error.)
Private Sub EducationID_AfterUpdate()
If EducationID = 4 Then
IncubationTime.Enabled = True
IncubationTemp.Enabled = True
Else
IncubationTime.Enabled = False
IncubationTemp.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
Any Suggestions? Thanks,

Enable / Disable Check
Nov 23, 2006I have the following which works
Private Sub A300_Completed_AfterUpdate()
If A300_Completed = True Then
A300_Date.Enabled = False
User1.Enabled = False
Else
A300_Date.Enabled = True
User1.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
for some reason when creating a new record the above disabled/enabled fields retain the same property of the last records check? The form in a single (not a continuous)
**A300_Completed is a check box
Can anyone help please? Thanyou
Enable/disable All Controls On Form
Jan 10, 2008Hello. I have a form with a million little buttons on it (don't get me started, I didn't design it! - heh)...
Depending upon which user is running the mdb, I would like all but 16 (of the 80 or so) objects/controls disabled/enabled. I would like to autodisable all the controls, then enable the subset (or all of them) depending who the current user is.
SO in short, other than individually disabling/enabling the many items, is there a magic command for vba, similar to enable *.* for controls [silly e.g., but I hope you get my point...]
Thoughts!
Thanks!

Need To Enable/Disable Fields In Access
May 1, 2008Hi guys, I have a huge problem with a table I'm currently making and I was hoping you could help.
I have created a field in one of my tables using a Combobox lookup that only allows users to enter one of two options. What I want to do is restrict the other fields that a user can enter data into based on the their selection in the lookup field.
i.e if they select the first option then they can see and enter data into a few additional fields (but not others). Likewise if they select the second option they see/dont see other fields.
I am using Microsoft Access 2003.

Access Information, Disable Enable.....
Jun 19, 2006Hi.
Lets say i have a (Yes/No) combo box and a text box.
I have it so if my combo box says Yes the text box must become enabled so i can type in it.
The problem comes in when I goto a new record, the combo box is still enabled.
I have tried putting the text box to disabled in form_load, but then when I go back to view other records the text box is disabled and the combo box is already set to Yes.
How do i overcome both these problems at the same time ??
Disable / Enable Full Menus
Feb 19, 2008I accidently unchecked the "allow full menus" option in Tools - Startup. When I did that, the menu bar at the top of my database no longer displayed the "Tools" option.
Does anyone know how I can restore the full menus option?
I am new to access and can do nothing with my database until I get my menus back.
Thanks,

Problem Making Enable/disable Persist
Jun 8, 2005The following code governs whether two fields are enabled/disableddependent on a selection made in a frame with 4 radio buttons. All are bound controls.
The first time that you select an option it's fine and the fields disable correctly, however, when I close the form and then go back into it the controls that should be disabled are enabled. I have to reselect the appropriate radio button to enable/disable the fields again.
Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong?
Cheers

Enable/Disable Event Proceedure With Check Box
Mar 28, 2006Hi, bit of a noob here. I've searched for a while but I can't find anything related.
I have a data entry form that auto recalls the last entry that was made in it. I did this in an effort to speed up data entry. Anyways, here is the code I use.
Private Sub Investigator_AfterUpdate()
Investigator.DefaultValue = "'" & Investigator.Value & "'"
End Sub
Now the problem is that I want to be able to enable and disable this event proceedure with a check box. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
How To Enable/disable Textbox Based On Checkbox Value
Aug 29, 2006I have 44 checkboxes, each has a textbox next to it. What I want is when the user selects a checkbox, the textbox next to it will be enabled. Also, when the user unselect a checkbox, the textbox next to it will be disabled and any value entered is cleared.
Another way is whenever the user enters a value in a textbox, the checkbox associate with it is selected and vice versa.
Enable/Disable Fields Based On Table
Oct 13, 2006Hi everyone,
Need some help here! I have a table where different types of records are recorded. Let say for argument's sake my tblMain looks like this:
RecID (autonumber)
EntryType (Combo box linked to my tblEntryType)
Field1 (text)
Field2 (text)
I then have tblEntryType which lists the different types of entries to be made and which fields are required on my form and what the lables should be. The structure looks more or less like this:
EntryID (autonumber)
EntryName (text)
Field1Req (true/false)
Field1Tag (text)
On my form, my record source is tblMain. When my user makes a selection in the combobox EntryType, there is a lot of code behind the AfterUpdate function like this:
If EntryType.Column(2) = True Then
Me.field1.Enabled = True
Me.lblfield1.Caption = Me.entrytype.Column(3)
Else
Me.field1.Enabled = False
End If
I find this setup a bit labour intensive, especially as my form has quite a few fields! Is there a way that I can "look up" which fields are required from the table and enable/disable and label based on my tblEntryTypes without me having to creating so much code/use the "column" function.
Let me know if I am not making myself clear and I will be glad to try explain so more!
Tx in advance,
Mel

Forms :: Enable / Disable Checkbox On Continuous Form
Apr 5, 2015I am asked to create a checklist for a number of tasks to be executed in a particular shift. However in some tasks can be skipped. There are three shifts per day.
To accomplish this i have created a continious form with a number of checkboxes per task which represent the days of the week. The tasks itself are stored in a seperate table with a checkbox per shift (task settings). If the tasks must be performed in a particular shift, the checkbox is activated (= true).
Goal here is, if a task doesn't have to be executed in a shift the task should not be visible on the continious form. The recordsource of the continuous form is a query, which contains a join between the table with the task settings and the table with the tasks performed.
I have placed some code to perform the task in the form's current event
In the continuous form current event I have placed for every checkbox the following code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me. PerformTaskShift.Value = True Then
Me.MaandagOchtend.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
However when i execute the code and load the form, not only the checkbox in the row mentioned are set invisible, all the rows are. Is there any way to set only the checkboxes on the rows mentioned invisible, in stead of all rows?
Forms :: Enable / Disable Button Based On Textbox
Aug 12, 2013I'm trying to have a button in a form that, when clicked, will time stamp a text box already formatted for time. But once the text box is filled with a time, the button then disables itself for that record.
If I switch to another record where the text box is empty, the button will enable itself without closing the form, but obviously re-disable itself if I go to a record the text box is filled.
I'm sure I could use conditional formatting for it, but I don't think I'm going about it the right way. I already got a basic button built to timestamp.
