Basically I have a continuous form with each record having a textbox and a checkbox. There can only be one checkbox ticked per record but what I want to do is to stop the other checkboxes from being ticked if one is already ticked.
View RepliesWorking in the theatreworld, I'm trying to create something which will usefully combine my contacts and also a database of which shows we have done (dates, actors involved etc, etc) and what shows we have bought in.
So far, I have created my form which has the usual fields (name, address and so on) and also a field which asks users to describe what type of contact they are ie. are they an actor, or a director, or a theatre company.
There are also two command buttons, which will either open up another form which lists all the productions they have been in with us over the years (In-house productions), or one that opens up another form which lists what shows each theatre company has brought to us.
I would like to be able to select 'actor' in the category field which will then enable the command button for me to see what productions that person has been in. Or if I selected the 'theatre company' category then the other button becomes enabled.
Can anybody advise me on this please? Alternatively, if this all sounds far too convoluted, then I am open to suggestions!
Many thanks in advance,

Hi, I have a form called Product Details Display Form, which is for Product Details Display table. This form contains a button "Done" which saves everything into the table, or in other words, bounds the unbounded textboxes to the table. Basically, I want this button to be disabled at the begining, when the form loads, and when the user enters ALL the fields, it becomes enabled. Here is the code I have at the moment:
Private Sub Form_DataChange(ByVal Reason As Long)
If Me.Product_Brand = Null Or Me.Product_Code = Null Or Me.Product_Name = Null Or Me.List34 = Null Or Me.Price = Null Or Me.Details = Null Or Me.Discount = Null Or Me.Combo0 = Null Or Me.Combo2 = Null Then
Me.Command36.Enabled = False
Else
Me.Command36.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
I also have Me.Command36.Enabled = False in the Form-Load. I dont really know if it has to be in Private Sub Form_DataChange or not.
Please help me ASAP
Thanx in Advance
Hi,
Is it possible to enable and disable fields on a form with another field that is a check box?
i.e. a text box is greyed out until a check box is ticked.
Any help is appreciated,
Cheers,
Phil
Hello,
I've recently been told how to enable/disable fields in a form by ticking/unticking a box. Is there a way that, on a tabulated form, i can only disable/enable the field for the same record as the one the check box is in rather than for every record?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
I need to create a form to enter data from a survey, and ideally some sections of the form would only be completed when the answer to a first question is "yes". How to do this enabling/disabling of fields for data entry?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
Firstly apologies for posting what is likely to a really simple problem and probably has been explored before. I have been looking through other treads but nothing that I could identify really fits the bill.
Essentially based on choices made against a combo-box, I wish to lock or hide combinations of fields/combo box within the form. Realistically I want to lock rather than hide.
All the fields/combo boxes in the form I want to effect are bound.
I can effectively do this as long as the fields/combo-boxes are unbound, but it seem to fail when they are bound.
Any assistance would be really helpful so thanks in advance.
Hi I have a problem that has been messing my head up. I want to be able to change the way the tab button works in a continuous form, instead of the tab tabbing across/through a single record first I want to be able to tab down/through the fields. I know this may seem strange to some but that is how I would like it to work. I could change the form to something else but that would require too much alteration and make life harder in the long run.
I currently have some VBA code set to ensure that the field that is select on open has a TabStop and all other fields do not. Is this the correct way of doing it or is there an easier way.

I am having trouble with a continuous form setting Enabled to False in the current record only. I have tried code in the OnCurrent of the form and OnOpen, examples like
If Me.NewRecord then
Me!Quantity.Enabled = False
.....
also
If Me.NewRecord = True then 'if this makes any difference?
Dataentry is set to Yes and have tried No also with no difference.
So I can set all [Quantity].enabled to false but I only want to set the New Record, not all the records I have already created.
Any help would be appreciated as I still have a pretty basic knowledge of Access
i am about to try and create my first unbound form, which i plan to use vba... god help me!!!
i plan to have a few text boxes on my form, and then on the same form have a tabbed control, can i have a continuous form in this tabbed control ?
Hi folks,
I've got two control buttons ('OK' and 'Cancel') on several forms. They work on the forms in Single Form view, but not on the one form that is in Continuous Form view. I couldn't find any mention of this behavior on this forum, but on another forum somebody mentioned that Continuous Form view makes control buttons do odd things. Any ideas on how to handle this?
Here's the code:
Private Sub OK_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_OK_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Me.Visible = False
Exit_OK_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_OK_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_OK_Click
End Sub
Private Sub Cancel_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Glossary"
End Sub
Hi All,
I created an Event Procedure on the After Update event for a control in a continuous form. Basically, if certain conditions are met, I want it to disable another control. It works perfectly, except it is disabling the controls for all the records instead of just that record.
Does anyone know how to get it to just update that record? I've been researching and cannot figure it out!
Thanks in advance for any and all help :)

I have a problem with formating controls in a form. As a example, I inserted a tree view control and adobe reader control. After I've resized them manually in a design form, I switch into form view and they both resize automatically to their own size (don't know where it gets from).
In the result, I can't obtain the required width and height. How can I make them resizable to my own preference?
I have a continuous form on which where each record has many controls, including control (A). I wish to set the colour of this control based on the contents of another control (B). Control B is a memo format and is placed behind another control making it hidden. The idea being that the user can then click on control(A) and look at supporting information from Control B on another form.
Conditional formatting cannot be used since this only allows conditions based on the control (A), not (B). Event procedures cannot be used since they all depend on making a record the current record, and I want the user to immediately see when further information is available. When I apply VBA code using an 'on load' event it is action for all records on the form in a way that if only one record has extra information, all records are flagged in this way.
I am mid way through a Access db and have a solid idea what i want from a form. The idea is for a rota display and edit form.
a tab control with 5 tabs (-2 weeks, -1 week, current week, + 1 week, + 2 weeks) and when the user clicks it lists all the employees (Employee Table) with any found rota entrys (Rota Table) populating into a text box type table with employees information blank where no rota information has been entered.
then the user can edit / add shift information from that table and hit save.
the main rota information is inputted by an excel import but this is done once a month and adhoc changes will be needed (holidays absence etc)
the only thing i found like what i want is a continuous form (which ive never used before but been told that wont go in a tab control)
How i would accomplish this (code snippets - doesnt have to be detailed just the fundamental functions so i can add modify to suit the information the sql's i already have its just the form controls.)
Access 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI know some basic code to disable a control after updating but, I have 20 or so controls that I want that to happen to as the record is updated over time. Is there a way to group all those controls and have them evaluated after going dirty instead of having to code each control?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe code I'm using should work, it doesn't, though similar code from a Text control does work. Basically, if someone selects "Other" I want [Chg_Type_Oth] to be Enabled and SetFocus.
The cmb_Chg_Type combo box, that stores into Chg_Type, has the following entries to select:
"Equipment New";"Equipment Modified";"Operator New";"Operator Move";"New Process / TTD";"Other";1
-I added "1" to see if that was the issue, but alas that didn't work either
Here is the code that isn't working (using two variations, just in case I was hitting an Access Wall, and the Select Case is purposely remarked out):
Private Sub Cmb_Chg_Type_AfterUpdate()
' Select Case Me.cmb_Chg_Type
' Case "Other"
' Me.Chg_Type_Oth.Enabled = True
' Me.Chg_Type_Oth.SetFocus
[Code] ....
Though this works fine from an ordinary text box:
Private Sub Chg_Name_AfterUpdate()
If Me.ChangeName = "Other" Then
Me.Chg_Type_Oth.Enabled = True
Me.Chg_Type_Oth.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Anyway, I'm expecting something obvious will show up...
I have a log of items I currently inventory. When you click on an item, it opens another form with a sub-form that lists the history of changes for said item in a continuous form display.
What I want to be able to do is when that form is opened, the sub-form will highlight the last entry (either bold it, or change the background).
I have a form that is being used for sample submission. Ideally, the user will be able to put in some information (3 or 4 fields) and the number of samples that they're taking, click the arrow and it will insert that number of samples into a temporary table that is then displayed on a continuous form. From there, they can edit samples, add more samples, and generate a report to submit to the genotyping group. Once their sample list is final, I will append it to the master list and clear the temporary table.
I've got the basics working. A looped "INSERT INTO" using a counter inserts the relevant information. I cannot, however, seem to get the numbering field to work.
Ultimately, the numbers need to look something like MySample-001, where MySample would be one of the other fields. Incrementing the 001 is the problem. In another situation in the database, I can successfully use DMax+1 to assign a single number on a single form, but I can't get it to increment the sample numbers.
Ideally, I'd like it to happen when the form is generated. However, I'm also open to having them assigned when the sample list is finalized, before inserting into master table.
In my database, I have a continuous form with a Name, a Date and a Yes/No field.
When the form opens, I want to look at the date of every record on the form and show a message box if it is before the current day.
The code I have is this;
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Me.RecordsetClone
While Not .EOF
If Me.Date1 < Date Then
MsgBox "" & Me.Person & ""
End If
If Not .EOF Then .MoveNext
Wend
End With
End Sub
However, it loops just the first record the amount of times there is of records (i.e., it will only show the first person's name in the message box, and will show 3 times if there are 3 records).
I am using the following by Allen Browne to sort one field. But now I need to sort on two fields.
Code:
Function SortForm(frm As Form, ByVal sOrderBy As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo Err_SortForm 'Provided by Allen Browne
'Purpose: Set a form's OrderBy to the string. Reverse if already set.
'Return: True if success.
'Usage: Command button above a column in a continuous form:
' Call SortForm(Me, "MyField")
[Code] ....
I have a mainform. When I click on a command button, it opens up another form. That form is designed to be as a continuous form, yet it does not display the header. The header is present in the form view. I have attached the screenprints to show the header in my form and the corresponding properties window.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat i want is to have a combo box on a continuous form that as you type it filters the Query it is based on using a Like *. and drops downs so the user can see the updated list after each key press? Is this possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form (Form4) which has a a list box (list11) that allows multi select. When I select on the records I need I hit a button that opens a form up with the selected records. This form is a continuous form. I have an unbound combo box (Combo55). Its values come from a specific table. I want to hit a button and change the field "Assigned" on all the records showing to the value that I selected in Combo55.
The problem is it only changes the value of the currently selected record. How Do I get it to change the value of all records that are showing?
I am only testing this idea with default field names. Before I implement the database I have to get a working model and present it. So I am building this and naming at the moment isnt important.
