Forms :: Make Command Button Override Required Fields Focus?
Sep 18, 2014I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?

Forms :: Fields Are Required To Be Filled Out Even Though Not Set As Required

View 3 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Update Field On Exiting A Record
Jul 11, 2013I need to update a field with the contents of 2 other fields when exiting a record. The fields (ItemNo) and (LotID) need to create or update the field (LotCode).
i.e.: ItemID (GM-235), LotID (26) will result in LotCode (GM-235-26).
I currectly use a Update Query that uses the expression:
[products].[MasterPN] & "-" & [lotid] in the lotCode Field - "Update to".
Unfortunatly, I am using a button on my form that executes the query, but it updates all the records and although it runs very fast, I would rather have it perform this task automatically when I leave the record.
Forms :: Multiple Fields Completed From One Lookup Field
Jan 2, 2014We have a form, which has a field linked to a "Recipients" table through a lookup. The field is bound to the recipient's name, but the lookup displays additional columns for user to identify the correct recipient in the case of duplicate names.
The "Payment" table's Recipient field only displays the recipient's name. So where duplicates occur, it's impossible to know which recipient is the correct one associated to a payment.
I would like to add an additional field to the "Payment" table called "RecipientIDNo". I need a way to auto-populate this field, based on the already existing Recipient field. Is this possible?
Why I just don't modify the recipient field on our payment form to be bound to the user ID number, there are two reasons.
(1) The field is linked to too many other reports and queries at this point. I believe it could cause an enormous amount of work to modify.
(2) the form likes to display whatever it is bound to. There may be a workaround for this, but I'm not aware of it and don't want the form displaying a number instead of a recipient name.
Forms :: Update Database Column When Mandatory Fields Are Completed
May 11, 2013I have a form with lots of combo boxes and text boxes. They are all linked to various MS Access tables and some of the fields are mandatory. I would like do an check to see if all the mandatory fields are not null i.e. are populated with a value and then run an update query for my master table in the database to flag the records as being complete if all the mandatory fields are populated.
If (IsEmpty(tab1.cmb_a)) Then do something
But I am just blank at the moment on how to proceed, especially on how I can do all the checks and then populate the database.
Forms :: Auto-populate Current Date And Time When Other Fields Completed
Feb 24, 2015I have a table called Neutron2015. I want the current date and time to complete when entries are made in two other fields. So I am looking for this date and time to populate in EXLStart when an entry is made in Processed By, and also the current date and time to appear in EXLEnd when an entry is made in Completed By with the bold word being the field names.
Is this possible, and how difficult is it?
Modules & VBA :: Possible To Get File Completed Posting Info?
Jul 25, 2014I have some code that checks if a file exists, its file size, creation date and date modified. The code works fine..however..
I need to import the file it is checking and that file can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to complete its posting. In fact I used the code to check it the other day and the code showed that it exists, its creation/modifed date and also its file size - however, the file size was what it was at that moment I ran the code. If I immediately re-run the code, the file size changes - obviously due to the fact that the file is still posting (and growing due to the date being posted to it). Also note that the (completed) file size will vary each day the file is posted
So, what I would like to know is, is their a way to check to see if a file has completed posting? Something akin to .filecreated like .filecompleted (yes or no) type thing?
Here is the code:
Public Sub sub_chk_files2()
Dim obj_fs As Object
Dim obj_folder As Object
Dim obj_files As Object
Dim obj_f1 As Object
Dim db As DAO.Database
[Code] ...
Modules & VBA :: Update Record Based On Related Records Completed
Dec 4, 2014I have 2 tables, one is like a main table, containing all of the main data, such as a Job Number, Customer, Quantity, etc. I have a second, related, table that acts a breakdown of information. There may be several related records to one main record, it entirely depends on the nature of the job.
What I'd like to do is run a function that looks at a main record, checks if all the related records COMPLETED field is ticked and then tick a field in the main record. I only want it to do this for records where all of the related records are COMPLETED.

In the subform form there are some required fields. In the table behind the subform I choose the property of these fields to be required.
but in the master form, when I start enter the information I can go to the next record without even touching the subform.
How Can I make the subform required in the master form?

Forms :: How To Make A Text Box Entry Required
Nov 27, 2014I know how to make a text box entry "required" such that one cannot exit a record until a value is entered but cannot figure out how to make it required only if another field on the form has an entry. None of the form events seem to support that when focus moves to another record as far as I can tell. What I want to do is display an error message if the condition is not met on exiting a record but to also remain on (or go back to) that record so the required text box entry can then be made.
View 4 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Make Selection From A Combo Box Populate That Number Of Metals Fields?
May 27, 2015My database will be creating quotes based on employees entries. Each quote will be unique because of the part. Each part has the potential to have Precious Metals, and Base Metals included. The employee must select the number Precious Metals and Base Metals that a particular part has. The problem lies with what happens after this selection is made. There are three fields that need to be defined pertaining to each metal. I need the number selected to determine how many fields to make available. If there are two precious metals, I need to make the three fields available twice; one for both metals. I have the possibility for up to 5 Precious Metals and 10 Base Metals per part. How can I make the selection from a combo box populate that number of Metals Fields?

May 11, 2006I'm having problems with the required field option in my table. I have a form that writes to the table and has a validation of the fields built in the code. If the validation is true, then it will allow the record to be saved.
However, I've also set those same fields in the table to be a required field. Whenever I enter data in those fields in the form and click the save command button, I get a message back telling me one of the required fields cannot be null. The thing is, it is not null. I entered data into the field through the form. Whenever I change the required field option to no in the table the problem goes away, but shows up on the very next field in the list that is set to yes.
Validation occurs within the form that writes to the table, but I still would like to have the security of knowing the fields are required in the table as well, just in case someone tries to be sneaky and go directly into the table to enter/modify data.
Is there something I'm missing? Is this a bug? I've actually set up another database the same way and don't have any problems with it. I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,

Required Fields
Mar 7, 2005Is there any way that you can have required fields in a form, but access will not look for the required fields until you try to exit the form. Basically; i have a form that users keep track of there work hours on specific parts. they leave the form minimized for most of the day. After they enter a record, they sometimes need to go back and edit a previous record, only they are on a new record and access will not let them go to a previous record unless they have the record fields entered.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOverride Required Fields
Aug 30, 2007Well guys, I don't know if this is possible or not, but maybe someone can guide me in the right path.
I have a data entry form that several employees use. I have certain required fields that are set on the form level. I have couple employees that I would like to have the ability to override these fields. I was thinking like using F10 key or other key combinations that will allow them to override the required fields in order to save the record.
Is this something realistic that I can accomplish in access, and if so, does anyone have a sample that can help me with this task? Thanks to all.

Making All Fields Required
Mar 4, 2005I have a form that I want to make all fields required so that the user cannot leave that form until all fields are filled out. I have the Required property in the table set to yes, and this works fine if I go to the form from the database window. However, If I go to the form from the main switchboard (In Add Mode), the form can be closed without all of the fields being completed. I know it's probably something pretty simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is a picture of the form if it would help at all.
View 10 Replies View RelatedSubforms And Required Fields
Oct 24, 2005Hi,
I have a main form with one subform (Datasheet view). On the main form, I have an On-Click Event button (“Save and Close”) which sets required fields on both the main form and the subform before saving the record.
Here is the problem:
- I start by entering some data in the main form
- I then tab into the subform and enter data
- I then tab out of the subform back into the main form – this is where the problem begins: When I enter all available data in the subform, including satisfying the required fields, and tab out of the subform back into the main form, the subform seems to initiate an extra new record – so… upon clicking the “Save and Close” event button on the main form, the event looks for the required fields of the blank subform record to be populated (a record that I do not have any data for). I also noticed that this required field notification in the subform can be satisifed by simply populating more fields in a previous subform record???)
I have tried a few things to resolve this and have looked throughout this forum without any luck – hope I didn’t miss something.
Any help would be appreciated. I have attached a very simplified version of my database.
Edit Required Fields First....
Dec 5, 2005Hi.
I have a form with 3 fields that are required, the other fields within the form are not.
Is it possible to make it so the non-required fields are only selectable/editable once the required fields are filled in? And if they are selected, a message appears saying "please edit required field first" or something like that?
Thanks for reading

Required Fields And Linked Tables

I have split a database, then realised that I needed to change two fields in a form. Y/N field and Text field.
I went into the backed database changed the fields to be Required but in the front end it doesn't seem to work? I haven't tried re-linking them but should I need to?
thanks
Forms :: Required Fields In Subforms
Jul 28, 2014I have a form and subform.The form and subform both access tables that have "required" fields.If I try to tab to the sub form without filling in the required field then I get an error message generated by access (this is what I want). If I try and exit the form without the required field I get an error message as well.
Now it's a different story with the sub form. The sub form contains 1 to many rows. In each row there is a required field. I don't get any error message for not filling in that field. I Know I can 'capture' this in the code but I want access to do it.
Required Fields And Subform Entry Order
Jun 23, 2005Hi,
I have created a form with 3 subforms. This form is split in to 3 parts on a 3-page tab control.
I want the user to enter data in the order below. All fields are required. My problem is that Access97 wants all fields of the main form to be completed in the order set by the table. ie. before I fill in a sub form. I have tried setting the form tab order property but it is being overridden.
First page:
a) Complete first 6 fields of main form
b) Complete subform 1
c) Complete subform 2
Second page:
d) Complete 5th field of main form
e) Complete subform 3
f) Complete 6th field of main form
Third page
g) Complete three fields of main form
Any help appreciated,

Access, Required Fields, Forms & ODBC
Jan 28, 2008I am working on an Access 2002 database where one of the tables has five required fields making up the key.
There is a form that is linked to this table which is used for adding new records.
There is a close button on this form that has the following code in it's OnClose event:
"DoCmd.close"
When the form is opened, no data entered and then the close button is clicked - nothing happens.
It used to work fine, until I recently upsized the database into a SQL Server database and now it's all gone horribly wrong.
If I close the form manually by clicking on the cross, I get this
error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value
NULL into column 'Product', table
'LeasebookSQL.leasebook_user.leases'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. (#515) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The statement has been terminated. (#3621)
Can anyone please tell me how I can get the form to close without trying to save the record, especially when no changes have been made to the data on the form?
Thanks,
Simon
