Modules & VBA :: Switch From Form To Report As Soon As Database Loads?
Mar 21, 2014
I have VBA code that switches a form to a report that works with buttons but refuses to work when first loading up the database.
Ideally I want the database to open , with a control form set as the default load form, and then this immediately loads a report, which it does, but it doesn't ever switch to it?
I use as standard: DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_here", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal
And now I've tried:
Application.DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, "rpt_Embroidery_Screen"
Which will both run and work fine using buttons but not on initial database/form load.
Using Access 2010.

I'm using a combobox to select a record based off my primary key field, and then a separate button to print that particular record.
When the form loads, it has the first record selected but the combobox is empty so that if I press my button it will still print the first record.
when I press the combobox my list of entrys in the primary key field shows up and the combobox is no longer blank.
How do I show the first primary key field in the combobox when the form loads?

I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)

I have a form that contains a combo box, I used the access wizard to make this combo box select a record from a table of customers and display that record on the form.
The user then has the option to print that record.
This works fine.
I now want to be able use the same combo box but with a different table so I can select Records from a list of suppliers.
Is there a way I could use a toggle button to change the rowsource of the combo box and then use that same combo box to select records from my supplier table.

hello all,
i have a form which I have set so that it opens a blank record once opened. After it has been opened I want a msgbox to appear. my code so far is:
---------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Select Case MsgBox("Please select the Registration Number from the drop down menu or type it in", vbOKOnly, "Select Registration Number")
End Select
End Sub
-------------------------------------------
but the problem is that the msgbox appears before the form is opened.
any ideas how to fix this would be grately appreciated. thank you

Hi,
I've got a parent/sub-form set up, both of which derive their data from linked tables connecting to a central database. As a result I've had to add coding to the NewRecord events to fetch the next primary keys from the database.
Unfortunately I'm finding that one loading the new record, the child form seems to be loading before the parent, ie the child form_Current event occurs before the parent form_Current event. Is this how it should be? It seems intuitive that the parent should load first.
I'm sure I can develop some cunning logic to get around this problem but I'm sure there must be a better way. Has anyone any experience of this parent/child set-up with linked, central database tables?
thanks!
Dave

I have a form that displays data based on a simple query. The query asks for a PO number (from the query) and then displays the data. I wish to open a web page after the PO number is put in. What is the vb code to do so and is it on the onLoad or onOpen portion of the form?
Also, the web address needs that PO number. So, the web address would be: http://www.mydomain.com?PO=PONumber where PONumber is what was entered into the text box that was prompted by the query. Any ideas on where to start on this one? Thanks!

I have been trying to make forms open scrolled to the top and have had very little success.
I found a function on the following site http://www.lebans.com/SelectRow.htm that works great as demonstrated and when I attach the following code to a text box the form scrolls to the top.
Private Sub Text98_Click()
Dim lngret As Long
lngret = fSetScrollBarPos(Me, 1)
DoEvents
End Sub
What I am trying to do is have the form scroll when it opens but by attaching the above code to the form's on_open event there is no effect.
What am I doing wrong.
Any ideas

I did a search in the form forum and couldn't find anything close that had a response.
I have a parent form and a sub form.
I have the parent set up to make the enable property false for the command buttons that aren't appropriate when you first open the form: Like Save and Undo.
I want to do the same for the child form, which has different data linked to the parent form.
The parent form always grays out the inappropriate boxes.
The subform will gray them out only if I open it as a stand-alone form. When I put the code in the Open, or Load or Gotfocus events I get an error message that it cannot locate the subform.
Any ideas where to go?
Thanks-

I have a couple of command buttons on a form. They have embedded bitmaps as pictures with a caption below. For some reason when the forms loads (and also in design view), there is a narrow white outline / border around them. As if the button is drawn on a slightly larger white square?This border disappears as soon as I hover over the button (in form view) or click on the button (in design view).

I have on very large form in my db that takes several seconds to load. I want to optimize things, so I am trying to have it load hidden in the background when the db first starts up, this way it can be immediately called on when it is needed later. Please read further :
I want to have a splash screen that loads as well. I have set the splash screen to the default form when the database opens. However, I am not quite sure how to get the other form to load in the background as hidden, AFTER the splash screen opens and appears. I tried calling it with the oncurrent event of the splash screen, but then splash screen wont appear until after the other (hidden) form has finished loading. I have tried different orders of events, but am having no luck getting the desired results.
Summary: I want the splash screen to show first, then the big form to open (hidden) in the background. The user can click on a continue button on the splash screen and then the main switchboard will open.

I would like to create a command button on the header of a form. The button should perform a toggle switch: click once to activate the task and click it again returning original state. I can create the command button to perform a task but do not know how to return to original state. The button should have indicator showing which state is in.

I have a form with a subform in it. On the main form, I have a combo box with a list of program numbers to choose from. Once one is selected, the subform displays all the unpaid invoices under that program number. This part works fine. The problem occurs when I try to close the form, switch to design view, or scroll the subform to the right. Basically, the error message says that the record can't be saved because it would create a duplicate value in the index/primary key. However, this form is used to display information only. I have disabled the edit, delete and addition abilities, so I can't figure out why it thinks I am trying to change or add a new record. Any help would be appreciated.
I figured it might make things easier if I included a copy of the database, so here it is.
The form is called SETR, and the subform is AllInfo subform.

I'm working on a login form and *not thinking* I removed access to the submenu. I had already set the form up so that you either login correctly or exit the program. I'm working in code for the form and I know it's possible to reactivate the menu in code, I just don't know how. And I can't switch to design mode. The form is set up to not allow anything to happen until the correct login has been entered, and I either had a typo when I set up my test login or the program is bugged and only says it's incorrect....

I do not understand what is happening here. I have foll0wing line in a calculated query field:
m: Switch([EmpID]<5,1) ' run Query 18 in attached example, A2007/2010
this produces 1 for all EmpID<5 and Null for all other EmpID's. All as expected.
But if I do this:
m: Switch([EmpID]<5,1,[EmpID]>=5,Null) ' run Query 19 in attached example
then the entire column is set to Null

Hi,
I have a problem with form design,
I want a form like in Northwind sample database: Summary of Sales by Year Report.
It use Sorting and Grouping for Footer that I can't find it in Form design.
Is it any other way to do it in Form design so I can get the same result like in Report design?.
The reason why I want it, because I want to control the size.
thankyou in advance for your help.
Gunawan.

I am wondering if it is possible to embed all of the photos that I have into my photo table automatically. I have the table set up with all of the data that needs to be there but I have over 1500 photos that need to be embedded and wanted to save myself some time and automate the process somehow. I already know that embedding these photos is going to make my database huge but that isn't an issue for this particular project.
As far as I can tell from this forum, the help and the Northwind database this isn't possible without manually going through every photo but I am pretty new to Access so thought I would throw the question out there.
Thanks

I'm having a bit of trouble with a piece of VBA code I have. What it's supposed to do is filter and sort a report using a form. But there are two lines, which both I need, in it that are not compatible with each other. When both are in and I apply the filter with only a sort, it gives me a "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument."
But the code runs beautifully when only one of the pieces, which I've highlighted in red below, is in it. The debugger highlights strFilter = Left$(strFilter, lngLen) after I have received the error.
Code:
lngLen = Len(strFilter) - 5
If (lngLen <= 0) And ([cboSort1] = "Not Sorted") Then
MsgBox "Insert criteria before filtering.", vbInformation, "No Criteria"
Else
strFilter = Left$(strFilter, lngLen)
[Code] ....
