Modules & VBA :: How To Know When Control Has Focus
Sep 12, 2013In the following code, i am trying to determine if command button has the focus:
Private Sub lstOrg_LostFocus()
If Me.cmdEditOrgProfile_GotFocus() Then
Exit Sub
Else
Me.cmdEditOrgProfile.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
The second line returns error.
How would I know if a control has the focus?
Modules & VBA :: Return Focus To Access
Sep 4, 2013I have a database which connects to another application (by creating an object) for the purposes of reading/writing data. Part of the code involves creating an instance of this application, and then taking input from the user via an Access form.However, when I load the form, the focus stays with the other application, and the user has to 'click into' the form in order to reset the focus to the form and key the relevant details. Not the end of the world, granted, but frustrating over time and something I'd like to iron out.
I originally had this process in Excel, and used the following code to change the focus back to Excel (so that the user could key directly into the form)
Code:
Dim ExcCap As String
ExcCap = Application.Caption
' ...assorted code, including creating the object to 'house' the other application...
' Return focus to Excel
AppActivate ExcCap
But this doesn't apply to Access as it utilises the Application.Caption / AppActivate method to identify the appropriate window to switch back to. In Access, I don't have a caption to reference.I've tried setting the focus in the Form_Load event but it doesn't bring the form 'to the fore'
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.SetFocus
End Sub
Modules & VBA :: Set Focus On Control After Update
Jan 15, 2015I have a continuous form populated with a pivot view from SQL. When I enter data in the form I send the data to SQL (ctrl after_update) and then re-populate the form. It works.
When I have entered data in a ctrl - then I have to bookmark the record so I can select it again (find_first). I can "save" the location of the control where I have entered data, but I want to select the location where the user has set focus - which triggered the ctrl after_update..My ctrl after_update looks like this:
Code:
txt_account = Me.Parent.txt_account_id.Value
txt_cost_center = Me.ActiveControl.Name
Call update_data_input(Me.ActiveControl.Value, Me.account_id.Value, Me.ActiveControl.Name)

Modules & VBA :: Set Focus On Searched Item
Jul 25, 2014I'm trying to catalog these shelves for work. So someone can then search for the item and it will pull up the shelf its on. The shelf has alot on it so I want to set the focus on the item on the shelf. But I'm not too sure how to do that with my search button.
This is the code for my search button:
Private Sub cmdsearch_Click()
'Purpose: Build up the criteria string form the non-blank search boxes, and apply to the form's Filter.
'Notes: 1. We tack " AND " on the end of each condition so you can easily add more search boxes; _
we remove the trailing " AND " at the end.
' 2. The date range works like this: _
Both dates = only dates between (both inclusive. _
Start date only = all dates from this one onwards; _
End date only = all dates up to (and including this one).

Modules & VBA :: Setting Focus On A Control In Report?
Sep 24, 2013Windows vista
access 2007
I'm populating a report with a query which pulls criteria from a form. When the 'run' button is pressed it opens the report, running the query, to filter the data. What i'm attempting (and it works if there is data present).
The data is text, which is a filename, which populates an image control. Most of my records have an image present but for the ones that don't I think I need to turn the image control's picture property to 'blank'.
I'm just now encountering problems with the records with no pictures so when i came up with this it worked with my tests which at that time only had images present....
I have two problems.
1) When I run the code as below i get Run-Time Error 2185; you can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.
2) when i try to set the focus on the picture control in the report to see if there is text/value present i get runtime error 2478; database doesn't allow you to use this method in the current view.
I assume this is talking about me opening the report in acViewPreview mode but i thought i needed to do this so the images are displayed in the image control.
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim strDBPath As String
Dim strRelativePath As String
Dim strPath As String
'rptOriginalOwnerCategoryItem!Picture.Text.SetFocus
[B]Me!Picture.SetFocus[B]
'Test to see if the record has a relative path stored

Modules & VBA :: Set Focus Method - Filtering Records On A Form

DoCmd.OpenForm "BICReviewForm", acNormal, , "Staff Assigned=" & "'" & cmbStaffNames.Text & "'"

Modules & VBA :: Focus To Be Set To First Control Without Displayed Record Being Changed
Jul 31, 2013On a form (default view: Single), I have a bunch of bound controls that display one record at a time from tblMain. I have a bunch of unbound controls as well (buttons).
If the user tabs through all the controls, reaches the last one (btnLast), and presses tab again, the focus is set to the first control (btnFirst) and the bound controls change to display the next record. I just want the focus to be set to the first control without the displayed record being changed.So I set up an "If" statement in Private Sub btnFirst_GotFocus()
Code:
If Screen.PreviousControl.Name = "btnLast" Then
[code to change record back to previous record]
End If
But btnFirst gets the focus when the form opens, so Screen.PreviousControl spits out an error.I've accommodated this like so:
Code:
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
If Screen.PreviousControl.Name = "btnLast" Then
[code to change record back to previous record]
End If
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
Exit Sub
Modules & VBA :: Setting Focus To Non Default Instance Of A Form
Mar 21, 2014How to set focus to a non Default instance of a form.
Environment
A2007 ADP Project
Document Window Option - Tabbed Documents
MS SQL 2012 Express DB
Windows 7 64 Bit
I using Allen Browne's method to open more that one version of form, storing each form object in a collection declared in a module. No problem there.
Now I'm trying to add a command button on an form to set focus to one of these non-default instances already open.
The form I am trying to set focus to has a the following related properties
Default View: Split Form
Pop-up: No
Modal: No
The form that has the command button on it is of the same type.
Here is the code I've tried:
'Code on Calling Form
Private Sub cmdProjectList_Click()
Dim FunctionResult As Boolean
If AppForms.GoToForm("ProjectList") = False Then
AppForms.Load_ProjectList
[Code] .....
The code compiles and executes with seemingly no problems. It finds the form loaded, then cycles though and finds the form in Forms but the SetFocus call seems to do nothing. When I run the code against a defualt instance ( one not opened using Allen Browne's method) it works fine and sets focus to it as expected.
Modules & VBA :: Label As Button Doesn't Change Focus
Jan 20, 2014I'm using a label as a button so it looks nicer, but if I press it without officially exiting the last text field I was in, then that text field doesn't update, so the vba believes it's blank or whatever it was.
I could manually setfocus to a couple different fields or have a teeny field thats hard to see to set focus to, but these both seem roundabout.

View 6 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Working With Selected Records In Datasheet
Oct 24, 2013I have a SQL view linked into a ms access application. That view is used in a subform and in datasheet view. I want to select multiple records and click on a button that will delete those selected rows. I need the button because the view has 1 table and a subquery joined in the view and will not allow me to delete from the main table in that view. So, I figured I can select the rows I want to delete and then create a button that will send a passthru command to delete those records from the main table.

Jul 16, 2013(MS Access 2010)
I'm trying to find some code to allow a datasheet form to link to a csv file.I'd like the link to the data to be dynamic so it connects when the form loads as the access database will be run from a network share by multiple people at the same time.
The CSV file will be different for each user and reside on their local PCs in their profile folders.
I've been trying variations of this snippet of code I found which is called On Form Load:

Modules & VBA :: InStr - Use Clause In Opening A Datasheet Form

Modules & VBA :: Datasheet View Custom Fields Duplication
Mar 2, 2015I have a database with a large number of records: ~2000, so I use a form in datasheet view to filter and sort the records to find a particular one.
This works fine for locating a certain record.
Sometimes I then need to make a new record but I will be duplicating a few fields from the one I just found.
At the moment I manually do this by copying each field I want into word and then pasting as appropriate into fields in the new record.
Is there anyway I can still use datasheet view to search for a record, then select certain fields and have them duplicated into a new record?
I should add that the datasheet view is locked for editing, I have a separate form in single form view for entering a new record. Sort of vital information i missed out there.
