Modules & VBA :: Unbound Form - Selecting Label OnClick Does Not Recognize Changed Form Field?

Unbound Form
I have a onclick tied to a label (for decoration purposes) that when clicked it launches VBA that essentially updates a form. All that part works except it will not recognize any changed value of the field I was last in?
Just to try to explain best as I can what happens.
- Form gets opened
- I change field (quantity field)
- I click the Label
- It reverts to pre-existing value.
if I click off of the text field first then do the onclick - it recognizes just fine.
I have a button in a form that needs to change the text in a field named idStatus from "Assigned" to "Returned"
I have tried using an expression like this "[Form]![Field]=12" in the OnClick spot but it returned an error. There is no "custom made" wizard for this and my VB skills are lacking.
Once again, thanks! (I know I post alot but this forum is amazing!)
I would like to make clickable labels on my form, so if the user has any questions about the field, clicking on the label would bring up a message box that would give them more information. I know how to write onclick events one by one for every label, but there are a lot of them, and I feel like there has to be a better way.
I put the label names, and the text I'd like for the message box in a table, and I'd like to have a module that will allow me to click on a label, and have the right text come up.
I've researched ways to do this and have come up with nothing. The farthest I've gotten is an array tied to the form open event that just displays all the message boxes from first to last, one after the other. I believe that's on the right track, but is not a workable solution as is. I need to be able to tie the message box to the actual label the user clicks.
I have a continuous form with a text field that says "Select". There are two other fields, one of which is Brand. When the Brand Combo box has nothing in it I want the text box to appear (instructing the user to select a Brand) But once the user selects a Brand and goes to the next records, I would like the "Select" in only that record to become not visible. I tried conditional formatting but can't apply that to an unbound control ( or at least it is grayed out when I select the text box) and any other possible solutions I have found changes all of the selects - not only the one in the changed record.
How to do an UPDATE using VBA on a form to update a specific record on the table using an unbound field on the form to filter the update.
Every time the code runs, it tells me: Run-time error '3144': Syntax error in UPDATE statement and takes me to the "CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError" line at the end of my sample below.
I have a table that holds the SQL texts for ca. 1000 Select queries (mostly minor variants that are used to programmatically swap out RowSource strings for combo boxes). I'd like to have a quick and easy way to open/review/modify these queries.
One strategy would be to display the SQL strings in a field on a Datasheet form, then use an onClick event on a text box linked to the SQL-holding field (or perhaps an onClick event tied to an unbound text box on the form) to open the associated query. That would allow me to view the SQL of the query that I want to open, allow me to quickly scroll through the list of stored SQL texts, and give me options for sorting or limiting the SQL-texts displayed in the datasheet form.
But, I can't seem to get the onClick event to work. The problem seems to be that I can't figure out how to pass the SQL string contained in the field to a function that will use that string to open the query .
I Have made a change to a field in my tables. it was was based on ethnic background and originally i had just created the field but had not added in the options ( via adding it into the row sources).
So now the tables field have been updated but unfortunately on the form it has not updated into the dropdown i had created containing the options..
I want to select a subset of table called TRP. It should extract me all records
which got the property Valid to date < enddate.
enddate is a date selected by the user in a form .
Somehow it doesn't recognize the enddate in the following :
Code: Public Sub test() DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT TRP.* INTO [TEST] " & _ " FROM TRP " & _ " Where TRP.[Valid to] < enddate" DoCmd.SetWarnings True End Sub
I tried this code to change the label to display the full name of the state on the form. Is there a shorter way than putting 49 more states after the if?
[CODE]Private Sub cmdStates_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frmChurchesAll" DoCmd.ApplyFilter "qryFindState" lblTxtSt = txtState If txtState = "FL" Then lblTxtSt = "Florida" End If lblTxtSt.BackColor = 15658720 lblTxtSt.Visible = True lblStatesof.Visible = True lbAllChurches.Visible = False End Sub /CODE] D7
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.
I am trying to use a list-control on a form to let the user select multiple values. I have understood that this requires some VBA-code to step through the selections in the list, since the "multivalue-selection" is set to "Extended".
When I try to execute the code I have (found and have tried to adjust), then I get the error message "Object required". The "ListCount"-paramater always only results in a ZERO-value, when i step through the code:
Function cmdOpenQuery_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenQuery_Click Dim MyDB As DAO.Database Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef Dim i As Integer Dim strSQL As String
in my form I created an unbound field with a requested combination, now how can I put those in a table field. in other words, how can I send the content of a form's unbound field to a field in the table?
I've created a data entry form w/ 7 fields.... [f1], [f2], [f3], [f4], [f5], [f6] are bound to a table. While [f7] is unbound and has Nz function.
Now, the value of [f7] is the summation of [f1] to [f5], i want that what ever value is generated by [f7] will be stored on [f6] in both forms and table...
I have a field on frmOutpatient which is called EpisodeID. I need to populate this field from a selection in a pop-up form.
The pop-up form (frmSelect) is a continuous form with a number of different EpisodeID numbers according to the date the patient was admitted. At the end of each record I want to put a command button (cmdSelect) and when pushed I want this SelectEpisodeID to be transferred to the field on the frmOutpatient.
I have form named SearchForm and there is unbound subform named Search_blank. Depending on button in menu is used source object of Search_blank. One of the source objects is form named MeasureForm and it has subforms named MeasureForm_sf1 and MeasureForm_sf2. How can I reference public sub in MeasureForm_sf1 from SearchForm? How can I reference public sub in MeasureForm_sf1 form MeasureForm_sf2?
There might be a problem with unbound form. I tried reference public sub named GetLastVal from SearchForm that is in MeasureForm:
Code : Me!Search_blank.Form.GetLastVal
and it was working. Than I tried reference public sub named GetLastVal2 from SearchForm that is in MeasureForm_sf1:
I have a form with a bound combo box. There is an unbound text box for display purposes only that is supposed to reflect the third column of the combo box for the current record.
I set it's default value at [cmbPartyType].[Column](2) .
It works for the first record. but when I scroll through the records, the box keeps the value that was appropriate for the first record. how can I get it to look at that combo box on every form? Even if I am not update records, just looking at them?
Trying to update a field in a record in my form after selecting from a comboox.
This an orders form with a record per row for order items. I select the product from a dropdown list which is populated by a dynamic query from the afterupdate event on another combo. When I do the selection access reports the following error: Runtime error 3331 to make changes to this field, first save the record
Debug takes me to the line : Me!product_id = DLookup("product_id", "products_table", myvar) from : [code] Private Sub comboProd_description_AfterUpdate() Dim strFilter As Integer
I'm lost as to what to do (no such thing as beginners luck!!). I'm not even sure if the error is from the combo box or from the field that it is trying to update (product_id)
I've been writing queries in the following format for years in Access 2003, but having recently transistioned to Access 2010, I've found the following sql doesn't work.transform
sum(s.value) SELECT s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name FROM supply_points s , codes c WHERE s.code = c.code and s.id is not null and s.code = 1075 and s.month >=[forms]![main]![gppstart ] group by s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name pivot s.month
In Access 2010, this query returns the following error message:the Microsoft Access database does not recognize '[forms]![main]![gppstart]' as a valid field name or expression
I have a form, which is bound to a table, with an unbound textbox.
I am trying to get the number of months an employee has/had worked.
In the table are two dates, Company Start Date, and Resignation Date.
There are three scenarios in which I need to calculate the months:No Resignation Date
A Resignation Date in the future A Resignation Date in the Past
See attached PDF
The Employees are under a one-year contract which ends the day before the one-year anniversary.
I originally tried using DateDiff in the Control Source, but the IIF seamed too limited for my needs.
Code:
If [Resignation Date] = "" Then If Month([Nichii Gakkan Start]) = Month(Date) Then If Day([Nichii Gakkan Start]) < Day(Date) Then MIS = DateDiff("m", [Nichii Gakkan Start], Date) - 1
I have created a forum that all fields are unbound. On completing it is written to the table using a RunSQL command. This writes to the table with no problem but when it does so it is creating another entry with zero content. This is the save steps with open new form
Code: Private Sub SaveRecordAddNew_Click() Call PreSaveCheck If Me.saveCheck = False Then Exit Sub Else Call WriteToTable
