Modules & VBA :: How To Make Access Visible
Apr 27, 2014
From Excel, I open a database and start a macro with the following:
Set oApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
oApp.Visible = False
oApp.OpenCurrentDatabase db, True
oApp.DoCmd.RunMacro "Import_Data"
With the macro running and Access not visible, how can I make the database visible if an error occurs in the macro? Currently, if an error occurs in the macro, a 'Msgbox' message is generated (by the database macro). But with Access not visible and Excel visible, the process cannot continue unless the user knows to click on the 'Microsoft Access' icon in the task bar to bring Access to foreground and acknowledge the 'Msgbox' message.
I'd like to activate the Access window from within the database macro.

I have a Main Form with a Sub-Form, the sub-form is base off a query. on the sub-form i have 8 controls, one of them is "Status' and "Process" and "Review" My Main Form have a Refresh command that refreshes the data in the sub-form.
What i am trying to do is make the "Process" Control only visible is "Status" is a certain status and "Review" visible if "Status" is something else. what i have done works correctly On Open. I run into and issue on the refresh command. I get Run-time error '2165' "You can't hide a control that has the focus"
Code:
If Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Status = "Ready" Then
Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Process.Visible = True
Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Review.Visible = False
ElseIf Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Status = "Reviewing" Then
Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Review.Visible = True
Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Process.Visible = False
End If
I have done similar with a main form and making sub-form visible or not based on a control on a main form and that has worked perfectly. I am not sure how the control is getting focus and cause the error.

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.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "tblInterval subreport", acViewDesign, , , acHidden
Reports![tblInterval subreport]!BoxInsp1.Visible = False
Reports![tblInterval subreport]!BoxInsp2.Visible = False
Reports![tblInterval subreport]!BoxInsp3.Visible = False
[code]...

I'm working on a report. I have a text box that contains directory path for a picture which is showed in a image box on my report which works great. I have now created a label called "nopiclb" that has "no Pic "entered in it but I want to set the label to not visible if path1 has a file path in it but visible if path1 is empty
I put the code below in onformat event in the detail section, but is not working
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.path1) = True Or Me.path1 = "" Then
Me.Nopiclb.Visible = True
Else
Me.Nopiclb.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

I am trying to make a label visible on a form during print if a field has "like a string". We use a form so that it prints 3 forms to one page (They are tags for units for repair). I can get the label to be visible in the form view but when I print, the label is visible on every record where it is only visible on the current record in form view. My goal is to have the label only show on those records where the condition is met.
Here is my code that works in form view only: (It is to designate easier a warranty tag from a new repair tag)
Code:
If Me.Problem_Description Like "Warr*" Then
Me.lbl_w.Visible = True
Else
Me.lbl_w.Visible = False
End If
I have attached an image of a tag sheet Tag_Sheet_W.jpg. As you can see if I got my desired result only the first tag would have a W.

Greetings. I have three forms that are open at the same time. They are related and cascading. The first form (frmEventAdd) is the anchor. Each event can have many Trials. The second form is frmTrialInfo. Each Trial can have three Classes. The third form is frmClassInfo. These forms are used for update and adding new records.
The user displays an event for update (frmEventAdd). Then clicks on a button to display the Trials for that event (opens frmTrialInfo). frmTrialInfo displays information for one Trial at a time. The user clicks on a button to display class information for that trial (frmClassInfo).
One of the fields on frmClassInfo is called cboJudge. It's a combobox with names of Judges (judges of dog competitions). The judge information in the combobox comes from two tables: tblPeople and tblJudges. If the user wants to add a new judge they may click on the btnNewJudge. btnNewJudge will open a form that is used to add a new person (frmPeople).
Because frmPeople is opened from many different points in the application, I found it easier to simply make the three, already opened, forms INVISIBLE.
So...command button btnNewJudge opens frmPeople and makes frmEventAdd, frmTrialInfo, and frmClassInfo INVISIBLE.
When frmPeople is closed (btnClose), it checks to see if each of the previously opened/visible windows is open and then makes each VISIBLE, again. frmEventAdd and frmTrialInfo reappear just fine. However frmClassInfo does not.
I have traced the btnClose_Click routine in frmPeople and it certainly looks like every line of code is being hit, but the line that should make frmClassInfo visible does not do anything (nor does it generate any error).
Here is the code from btnClose_Click in frmPeople. Can you help me?
********************************************
Private Sub btnClose_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnClose_Click
Dim blnEventAdd_Open As Boolean
Dim blnTrialInfo_Open As Boolean
Dim blnClassInfo_Open As Boolean

End If

End If
intCallerIX = intCallerIX - 1
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm PopCaller(), acNormal
End If
End If

Exit Sub
Err_btnClose_Click:
Call ShowError("frmPeople", "btnClose_Click", Err.Number, Err.Description)
Resume Exit_btnClose_Click

Hello all.
I have orders being entered, some of which may be in any one of several categories for which we need additional information. I would like to be able to have either a set of checkboxes answering the question "Check the appropriate box if the order is one of the following types" ... or ... have a radio-button selection where only one can be chosen at a time. That is important... that only one be able to be chosen at a time. It is possible to have orders outside this set of choices, and no selection made at all. Once the selection is made, I'd like either the appropriate fields to show in the main form... or ... have the appropriate subform show based on the entry from the checkboxes or radio selection.
I could have
OrderEntryForm containing
checkboxes or radio selection for Type1, Type2, Type3 with the appropriate Type1fields, Type2fields, and Type3fields hidden until the right checkbox or radio button is selected.
or
OrderEntryForm containing
checkboxes or radio selection for Type1, Type2, Type3 with the appropriate subforms Type1form, Type2form, and Type3form hidden until the right checkbox or radio button is selected.
There's only one problem: I have no idea how to make this happen... nor which way of doing this is best. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Tom

I want my fields on the report to show up if there is data to show and to disappear if no data is avaliable. Also, will the fields format together or will they still stay apart? I need them closer together for the report.
Here we go.
In the report are months 1, 2 and 3 as well as the label box for each. I need the label box and the data(text box) to disappear when the data box is null. This is where I had started:
Private Sub GroupHeader1_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If Not IsNull(Me.Ctl1_Month) Then Me.Ctl1_Month.Visible = True
Else
Me.Ctl1_Month.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
But when I try and run the report I get this error:
Can't Execute Code in Design Mode.
Can someone help as to what I have done wrong or where I should place this type of format?
Many thanks.

I've got a memo field on a form where the name is TextEXTRA
The Control Source for TextEXTRA is EXTRA.
I've got a box called BoxSHOW (Visible = No)
As I browse through records or find records, I want the box to become visible when there is something in the EXTRA field and become invisible when the EXTRA field is empty. This is what I've tried .....
Private Sub Form_Current()
If EXTRA Is Not Null Then
BoxSHOW.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
I tried many variations on the first line such as ...
Me.EXTRA "EXTRA" TextEXTRA
but I always get errors.

I have a form with a Yes/No checkbox. Sometimes a data entry person will use this, sometimes an associated report is printed and a technician in the field will be required to fill check the box by hand and return the report for data entry. what I have tried to format the check box, if the box isn't already checked, I can't get it to show up clearly on the printed report. It's set to Visible, width 6pt, solid, black, always display, yet it still is barely visible. Ive tried increasing the grid line thicknesses, making it shadowed, nothing seems to work. Is there anything I can do?

I have a form where i select via a combo box if a product has been inspected, if it has, additional controls are then made visible.
If Me.Inspection_Completed = "Yes" Then
Me.Date_Inspection_Comp.Visible = True
Me.Date_Inspection_Comp = Me.Dateinsp
Me.Inspector.Visible = True
Me.Qty_Inspected.Visible = True
Me.OK.Visible = True
[Code] ....
I tried to put this in a function so i could call it on load, or on current etc, but cant seem to get it to work, apparently you cannot use the me. in a function.

I have a combobox [CBreason] that reads from a table to show me why someone is gaining access to the building.
One of the options is "Incident".
When incident is selected I want a textbox [TBIncidentNo] and a button[BIncidentDup] control I made to appear.
I thought that the code:
If Me.CBReason.Value = "Incident" Then
Me.CBIncidentNo.Visible = True
Me.BIncidentDup.Visible = True
Else
Me.CBIncidentNo.Visible = False
Me.BIncidentDup.Visible = False
End If
Placed in the after update action of the CBReason box would sufice but it doesnt work
I'm guessing the value is not recognised fro some reason but i cant work out why. There is no error message or issus, it makes the box dissapear when there is no entry but no change for selecting incident.
