I have form which looks the same as a keyboard, I am trying to figure out if the user clicks on the buttons, lets say A then S and so on, it will update the text box above it with AS and so on

Is there any way to press a command button a certain amount of times based on a value in a text box.
i.e.
text box value = 5
button gets pressed 5 times with one click...
In the form1 , I have a listbox1 with 2 columns. The values get added in the listbox using vba. Now I want to Edit the listbox values in case user enters something wrong. So when the user selects a listbox item and then EDIT button then form2 gets opened. And the textbox1 of it stores column1 of listbox1 value and textbox2 stores column 2 of listbox1 value. So the user canb make changes in the textbox values and then press SAVE button . Now I want the code that will make those changes in listbox1 of form1 and unload form2 then.

I suspect this is 'bad form' but is there any 'cost' in doing this?
There presumably will be if objects have been set and are not reset to Nothing. In this case it presumably is not a problem resetting to Nothing outside a With.. - what about inside a with..??
I'm sure this is really simple... apologies, but a search hasn't thrown up any clues.
I have a table with Invoice Value, and Commission Value in it. On the associated form I enter the Invoice Value, and also the Commisison value [which 99% of the time is set at 20%.
I am trying to make a button which, when pressed, enters the calculated commission in the form field (and underlying table) - I realise this could be in the 'On Click' property on the form, but in VBA I am after something like.
Private Sub btnCommCalc_Click()
tblSales.Commission = tblSales.Invoice * 0.2
End Sub
Could someone help me with the syntax? (I can then move on to using a variable, rather than hard-wiring the 20% ;-)
Many thanks

Run-time error '2450': ECN cannot find the referenced form 'frmLogin'.

I have a form with 4 tab pages. on the 2 tab page I have a subform that adds records to a table via 2 combo boxes.
I have been able to stop user from leaving a combo control blank or skipping to the next combo control, but if user clicks the Exit command button on the main form, from the 2nd combo control, it prompts that value has to be selected but the gives error:
"You cannot add or change record because a related record is required"
How can I stop this so form will close and undo the 1st combo selection and not give error?
My main form has 2 “Continuous Forms” sub forms.
The cycle of the sub forms is set to “All Records”
Is there a way to exit the first sub form and move the focus to the second sub form utilizing only the keyboard? (Like shift + tab, or any custom buttons)
I’m trying to avoid using the mouse
Thank you
Obviously doing something stupid here :-)
I use a form for data entry. When I hit the next arrow in the navigation button section (the default navigation buttons supplied by access), by data is saved into the relevant table.
When the I press the X on the form my data is also saved. However I'm not given the opportunity to say if I want to quit the form or save the data.
What do I need to set to get this functionality?
Thanks
Hi all, I have a textbox with an input mask for an id number, so if I begin adding numbers I get an error message if they're not in correct format- this is fine- but I want the user to be able to cancel the entry and exit the form, but when I click the cancel button I get an error message about the id format- anyone know how I can allow cancel to override this?
thanx
HI
How can exit from an "DataEntry=True" and "AllowAdditions=True" Form without add a new record to the table ??
Any help please!!!!!

Ps: i only can do that if i press 'esc' in the 'textbox', but that doesn't suits me. the form only have a 'textbox' and a 'commandbutton'
I am developing an Access 2003 database for our shipping dept.
I have linked tables from a Sql Server 2000 Database that MakeTable queries were used to make tables then changed to Update Queries for the data.
The shipper opens a form (Call it Dock 1, Dock 2 , etc.) to scan a barcode or manually key the Batch Code in a ComboBox that is a lookup. "Enter" moves the cursor to create the next Record with the balance of the data pulled into the next 6 or 7 fields through VB Code. This data is written to a table for verification of each shipment.
My problem is that if the form is closed or the user exits Access, this form is empty when reopened but the table is intact. I need to be able to assure the form is not cleared on exit unless by request.
I have tried
"Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)"
"docmd.gotorecord ,, aclast "
"End Sub"
in the Form, (Without the Quotes) nothing happened not data was returned but, the data was in the Table
I need all entries to be retained not just the last record

Not = " " And InStr(1,"seat_person"," ") <> 0
I have a field into which I wish to place a person's name and I want to ensure that the field has a space in it but is not a blank field,
so
all blank - illegal
"Bob" - Illegal
"Bob Smith" - legal
the edit at the top is my attempt to code it but it isn't working.
Code:
strSQL = ("INSERT INTO " & strTable & " Select c.OrderNumber, c.Item, c.RepId, p.ProductNbr, p.Name, [tbl_LBP_Sales Location Num].[Rep Region Code] FROM CalculateTotal c, dbo_PartNew p, [tbl_LBP_Sales Location Num] WHERE ([Structure] like '*" & u & "*') AND ([ProductNbr] = '" & txtPartNumber & "')")
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
It keeps giving me this error and I don't know why?...
I tried replacing the brackets around Rep Region Code with quotation marks as well as these things `` but kept getting the same error...
How can I replace a '0' to a blank space and '1' to 'X' in 'Text Box' in a report ? The 'Data Type' is 'Yes/No' in the table.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with some imports. As you will be able to see from the attached Db file, some fields import into MS Access with a leading space in front.
The problem is, Access doesn't seem to see it. For example, (in Query_1) I try to find the leading space with a Left and a Mid function using: " ", "", and Null... but none of these criteria match.
However if you use Left(string, 1)... the empty space will post. So my question is: How can I programmatically eliminate these leading spaces when I can't state if there is a leading space or not?
Take a look...
How can I adjust my required field so that you cannot simply enter a space bar character to circumvent the requirement?
Here is part of the code:
If IsNull([txtRequiredReason]) Then
MsgBox "The Reason field is required"
DoCmd.GoToControl "txtRequiredReason"
Else
We have a spreadsheet that i upload onto a table, i use on of the fields to build a file path but if there is a special character it causes problems,i need to replace the below with spaces if they are in my field called path

: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
(backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)

how i can do this in some sort of update query.
Hi could someone point me in the right direction for this one,
I have a series of linked tabbed Forms. One of the Forms is mostly populated by Combo boxes which all work fine. My problem occurs when you go to add a new record and populate the form with the combo boxes but decide for some reason not to save the record but exit the form using the Close form command button or by using the close button at the top of the Form. Access seems to Save the record anyway. I have placed an Undo Cmd on the form to clear all text boxes which works fine but it does not stop a user from closing or exiting a Form by another means and stop them saving that incomplete record.
I would be grateful for any thoughts on how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
I've got a piece of VBA scripting which runs as an event linked to a button on my MS Access form.
I maintain a database of members of staff at my organisation. It's pretty outdated...
I'm basically wanting to pull in their updated data (extracted from on our payroll system) from a spreadsheet, into a form, when clicking a button on a particular person's record.
This is what I have so far.
Code:
start = Forms!frm_main2!txt_start_row.Value - 1
conv = DDEInitiate("EXCEL", "Staff List.xlsx")
cell_employee_number = "R" & start & "C1"
cell_surname = "R" & start & "C2"
[Code] ....
The function "CStr(DDERequest())" converts the cell number into the readable data, however I seem to have whitespace below the value.
What would I need to do to strip out this whitespace? Would I use strtrim? If so, I am unsure of the syntax... how would I incorporate strtrim into the above?
I found this code on a website that uses a form to search all tables in my database. Problem is that when I click "search" I get an invalid argument error. I am guessing that there is a problem with my SQL string. Missing space? Missing quotation marks? etc etc.... Anyway, here is the code:
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSearch As String
Dim strTableName As String
[Code] ....
I started creating the form, thought I'd have a larger size form. Then I found
that all of the users have a screen resolution of 800x600 and I was using
1024x768. So I reworked the form so that it would fit onto their screensbetter.
I moved things around, put this over there temporarily,
put that down there, pulled this out of the way, etc., so for a brief time
my form was twice as big as it normally is.
Now the sliders are way out there on my form and they won't go back. So I
have a huge amount of blank space around my form and it appears to the
user as though there's something out there. How can I shrink it back down?
Here's a picture, notice how most of it is empty space?:
