Modules & VBA :: Open Form And Setfocus To Specific Control
Feb 24, 2015
I have a from that has information icons that opens a separate form to support users make the right choice on a form. With each information form users are able to choose "Yes" or "No" and then it returns them back to the form they started. I am having trouble setting the focus to the control the user original left the form from.
Form A
Control 1
Control 2
Control 3
Form B
Information for Control 1
Form C
Information for Control 2
Form D
Information for Control 3
For Forms B - C I would like the form to close, open Form A and then set focus to the control that the form was providing information for.For example, if you are on Form C and you make a decision, I want Form C to close, Form A to open and focus to be set to Control 2.
Code:
Private Sub image5_Click()
Dim sWHERE As String
Criminal_Background.Value = "Yes"
I'm using form with subform. Main form header contain a combobox. I need to check the combobox is null or not before update a subform filed. If combobox is null then its back to Main form combobox from subform. The code below that I'm trying to:
Code: Private Sub AssignTo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Forms!frmDepartmentReview!cboDepartment) Then MsgBox "You must select Department first", vbInformation Forms![frmDepartmentReview]![cboDepartment].SetFocus End If End Sub
Then I'm getting 2110 run time error
Access can't move the focus to the control cboDepartment.
I have a form with a search button. Click on search, search for member, then form should close and populate the fields on the form which is already open.
I figure I should use setfocus, but I am new to coding and need help. Right now, when the user clicks on the search record, it opens a new instance of the form instead of populating the data into the form that is already open.
I hope I am asking the question correctly.
This the event procedure I have set on the pop up search. It works, but is opening a new instance of the form. I tried replacing OpenForm to SetFocus with no luck.
Private Sub Member_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDEMOGRAP", acNormal [Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtMEMBNO] = Member [Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtLSTNAM] = Last [Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtFSTNAM] = First [Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtMIDNAM] = MI [Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtBTHDAT] = BirthDate [Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![cmbGENDER] = gender
I have a form that is opened as hidden when my startup form loads. Data gets entered into it from other forms so whenever I switch records the hidden form needs to be opened to the matching record.
To accomplish this, I have been using the DoCmd.OpenForm in the OnCurrent event with the WHERE clause matching the PK/FK. I have had no luck with the SearchFor method.
It seems silly to have to keep reopening a form to go to a specific record when the form is always open already. Plus, I am wondering if it is affecting the forms' load times.
Essentially I have a form_A with several tab's and then one list control box in each of those tabs. At present if you double click on any item within the control boxes your taken to another form_B with info about that item and when you close that from down again if refreshes form_A.
Is it possible to only refresh the specific list control box that is active instead of refreshing the whole form ?
We have an access database which has a form that has a list box that details particular records. See attach "list box".
What I would like to do is double click on the record and this would look in a powerpoint folder (see attach "path") and open the presentation if there is a match to the value in Listbox Column 5 i.e. Tool Number.
I can get it to open the presentation if I include the tool number in the path but I cannot seem to be able to get it to compare the values and only open if there is a match.
I have a database in which users have the ability to search by last name...nothing fancy there. However, the users continue to forget to click the Find Client button and instead just type what name they are looking for in the LASTNAME control thus changing the record that they are currently in!!!
I am looking for a way to have a msgbox pop up any time the LASTNAME control is changed. I found the code below but this works for the entire record and I don't want them to have to click Yes every time they make change.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If MsgBox("Changes have been made to this record." _ & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to save these changes?" _ , vbYesNo, "Changes Made...") = vbYes Then DoCmd.Save Else DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo End If End Sub
Is it possible to use VBA or macros to open a table to a specific record?
I know how to open a table in database view using a command button. I'd like to have it open to or automatically scroll to and select a specific record, based on the content of the form. This way I don't have to spend time scrolling through the whole table to try and find the desired record.
The code below allows me to open a publisher document that is already merged to the current record. What I need is to allow the user to open the document according to the group they are reviewing. How to accomplish this?
For example:
IF Group = A1 OR B1 THEN OPEN AB_1.pub IF Group = A2 OR B2 THEN OPEN AB_2.pub IF Group = A3 OR B3 THEN OPEN AB_3.pub
Dim pubApp As Publisher.Application Dim pubDoc As Publisher.Document Set pubApp = New Publisher.Application Set pubDoc = pubApp.Documents.Add.Application.Open("c:Publishe rAB_1.pub) pubDoc.ActiveWindow.Visible = True
I have a tree-view object that is filled with a specific folder list, when a command button is pressed I would like too expand to a specific node based on a variable/foldername.
How to achieve this? My knowledge of tree-view is limited and I am still learning VBA.
It's my first post to the forum, but I've browsed it a lot the past week! Lots of info here. Unfortunately I couldn't find an answer to my question, so here it is: A simple Form attached to a Table. In the detail section of the Form the Table rows are displayed (all simple textboxes) and there is a hidden button on the row. When I put the focus on a textbox in a row, I want to set visible=TRUE for the little button in that specific row. Obviously I want the button remain hidden for all other rows!
Is there a way to accomplish this, changing the properties of a control in a specific row? When I set visible=TRUE, all rows suddenly display the button.
I have 2 forms one named "View" and the other "edit" on the form "view" the final user cannot edit any field as set from the form properties the form "edit" has no restrictions, what I need is to put a push button on the form "View" that will open the form "edit" showing the same record as on the form "View" Hope I explained my problem :)
I have an input form that opens another second input form. The code below opens the form to the correct record.
However, the form that I open has a bunch of tabs on it, and I want to open the specific record right to the tab "Technology_Page". Any way that I might be able to do that right from this statement?
I want to open a new form which is similar to the form it will be opened from. Only difference is the new form I want to open is designed for printing purposes.
I'd like to access the this new form by hitting a button that opens the print form for a user given order number. Any ideas if this is possible? Thanks
I have a form with a subform which has a lookup table (combo box) as a field. I want to be able, when I select a certain item in the lookup to have it automatically open a form. e.g. A field called insurance class - I select motor, I want the motor details form to open. If I select Fire, I want it to open the fire form and so on. I have already created the forms. Please help!
I have a form that simply lists the items: DEPARTMENT_NBR and DEPARTMENT_NAME
In the table: DEPARTMENT_TBL
When I edit the field DEPARTMENT_NBR and it is in error (must be between 01 and 99) I want to put out a message in a MSGBOX and SetFocus back on the DEPARTMENT_NBR.
I coded the MSGBOX with vbokonly and then DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus, but after the message displays and enter is hit for the ok the cursor jumps to the DEPARTMENT_NAME on the current line. Is there a way to get the SetFocus to work properly on repeating items like this? I can never seem to get them to perform the same as they do on non-repeating items.
Thanks for your help.
HERE'S THE EXACT CODE: If IsNumeric(DEPARTMENT_NBR) = False Then If DEPARTMENT_NBR <> "00" Then MsgBox "DEPARTMENT NUMBER must between 01 and 99.", vbOKOnly DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus GoTo DEPARTMENT_NBR_EXIT (exits the paragraph skipping other checks) End If End If
Also, is there a way to look at a specific item in a list like that? IE. I want to reference the 3rd row's DEPARTMENT_NBR. Thanks.
I am trying to open a single form with a single subform with a command button. I would like to open the form with the subform on a specific record but I am not entirely sure how to do this, I was wondering if someone had any advice that could help.
(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.
I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.
Basically I have a database that records commitments for clients. The user can go a client form, and within that form there is a subform which shows each expenditure commitment for that person (wihtin the subform there is also another subform that shows all income attached to each commitment). The user can use the Next and Previous buttons to navigate through the expenditure commitments (and the same if they want to navigate through the income commtiments within each expenditure commitment).
If you double click on any specific commitment whithin any part of the subform, then the expenditure commitment form (or the income commitment form if it is an income one) opens to allow the user to change stuff.
My database is set up so that each time a form opens the previous form closes. So when the user has the commitment form open and clicks close, the client form will re-open. My issue is that is always goes back to showing the very first commitment and the user then has to navigate back through till they find the one they have just updated.
What I would like to be able to do is when the user closes the commitment for that the client then the form opens up with the specific subform on the screen that they have just changed.The code I currently have written on the Close command of the Commitment is as follows:
Code:
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "frmTotalCommitmentsbyClient stLinkCriteria = "[FrameworkID]='" & Me![FrameworkID] & "'" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCommitments"
I essentialy just need the bit that would also say show the subform (which is called subfrmComms2) where the commitmentID = the commitment ID on the Commitment form.Now just to really complicate matters, I would also like this to happen if someone has the Income Commtiment form open and they close it, only the Income Commitment subform is actualy a subform of subfrmComms2 (above), but equally the income commitment form has within it the Expenditure ID, the Income ID and the FrameworkID.
1. I have created a button in a switchboard with embedded macro:-
Close Window OpenForm (Form name: frmCustomerFind)
2. I have created a form "frmCustomerFind), in which I can select a customer name in a combo box named "CustomerName".
a. The row source: SELECT [tblCustomer].[CustomerID],[tblCustomer].
[CustomerName] FROM tblCustomer ORDER BY [CustomerName];
b. After Update Macro:
Open Form (Form name: frmCustomer) SearchForRecord (Object Type: Form Object Name: frmCustomer Record: First Where Condition = "[CustomerID]=" & Me.CustomerID
At the end, the form "frmCustomer" does open but not go to the record I want. It goes to the first record instead. (The frmCustomer has the "CustomerID" and "CustomerName" fields).
Need to open a form to a specific record.Ive done the command button wizard that opens the form to a specific record but but that brings up the form with the filtered button showing.I've tried to put the formula into the filtered section but that doesn't work.I just want to be able to open the form to the specif record and then be able to navigate to other records if required (without aving to press the filtered button)
Currently, I have a form with tabbed pages in it. The second tab, I have a subform inserted into it. I have a completely separate form that looks through records. I want to be able to click on a record from the separate form and open the Main tabbed form, to the second tabbed page, to a specific record. Currently I have:
Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "frm_Main_Data_Entry" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria Forms![frm_Main_Data_Entry]![pgAgreement].SetFocus End Sub
Which opens up to the tabbed page just fine. but I can not figure out how to get to a specific record.
Also, the subform in the tabbed page, doesn't have the same controls as the Main tabbed Form itself, so when I add something like:
