I have a form that is locked unless they click the command button to edit records. I want a msg box that when they click the close button it pops up with something like save edits? Just as an extra precaution. But I only want the message box to pop up if the form is in edit mode. Is this possible? And I would like to be able to have them click ok or cancel in the message box
Here is the code for the close button:
Private Sub Close_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Close_Click
Have a text field in a form with following relevant properties:
Format tab - Format: Short Time Data tab - Inputmask: 00:00;0;_ Data tab - Default value: =Time()
Goal: show a default but editable current time in HH:MM format
Behaviour: When entering form current time is displayed in HH:MM - problem is that when I enter field with the curser it automatically changes format to HH:MM:SS.
I have added a popup menu to my form to reduce the number of buttons needed. I would some of the options only available in the add or edit mode. Because its not a traditional button i dont think conditional formatting applies. Can someone give me a hint where I should be heading?
I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?
I have a Main form with a combo box that pulls names from a table. Alongside the combo box is a command button that opens a form which allows the user to edit the names in the table.
The problem: When a user edits a name and closes the edit form, the edit is not immediately displayed in the combo box. However, when the Main form is closed and reopened, the edit is properly displayed. Can I somehow refresh the combo box in the On Close event of the edit form?
I have several subform tabs and one that I have updated no longer shows up when I run the form on Form mode. The tab is there but no content or details of the subform
Hi, I found a couple of short threads on the forum discussing the above. None of them go sufficiently far enough into detal to help me solve my (relatively simple) problem.
My boss has asked me to produce both mean and mode calculations for the number of pallets we ship to our branches on the 30+ routes that we service.
So far I have managed to implement mean but mode seems to have me stumped.
I'm aware there actually isn't a mode function in Access as such but like mode, is there a way to calculate the most frequent occurrence of a number over a time period?
My query is already producing Min, Max, Sum (and now mean) results for the pallets we ship, can someone offer me help on this?
All the code that I have retrieved so far seems to be based on something similar to this:
select top 1 with ties your_column from your_table group by your_column order by count(*) desc
I have very little to no idea about how to implement this into my query. Any help would be appreciated.
It's been a while since I've been on the boards. Good to see lots of the same folks are still here. :D
I've got an interesting problem. I have a sub that calls another sub. Pretty simple there. The problem is that when sub A calls sub B, sub B does not appear to run. This is all sub B does:If Not IsNull(Me.txtNumber) Then Me.txtNumber = Me.txtNumber + 1 End If The weird thing is, sub B runs just fine if I run the sub B in step mode. If I set a break point and use F8 to step through the code line-by-line, it runs just fine. If I take out the breakpoint, the code no longer works.
Anybody have any ideas? I'm running Access XP Sp2 on Windows XP SP1. Thanks.
This is such a newbie question I realise, but I have a form (frmFOBEntry) with a combobox (cboMarketCode) which returns a list from tblMarketCode.
New records are added to tblMarketCode using a form frmMarketCode
When I look through the combobox on the first form if the MarketCode I want is not there I want to be able to click a button which will open frmMarketCode in add mode.
Have looked through the forum and found all manner of flash ways to open on to certain records and the like, but nothing that simply opens the form so you can add a new record.
Also, if I add a record will the combobox update automatically?
I have an old db. I would like to see the forms and tables so I can select them and make changes. I know there is a way to access those items on startup but I have forgotten how. When I bring up the db I see a form and I can get into VB for that form but I cannot see any embedded table, forms reports, etc.
I trying to set my access database as a single user mode.(If i using the Mdb , other user cant use the same mdb by showing some warning msg and close ).
I have a database which seems to open many copies when it is accessed over the internet (via ASP) but If I open it on my compter over my LAN then it seems to open 'exclusive' and those on the Internet get the error message that 'file is already in use'. Is there a way of opening the database over the LAN and allowing the Internet to see it?
We have a networked database (using ACCESS 2003) containing:
two tables: 1 mdb table (Table A), and 1 linked table to an Excel worksheet. the excel worksheet is set to be SHARED
FormA : uses Table A, and the linked table is used in a subform
SITUATION : Everything is Ok, if only 1 user opens FormA. If a second user tries to use FormA, an error occurrs that the linked table is already being used and is in exclusive mode. The form will open but the Subform opens empty.
QUESTION : What needs to be done in order for the linked table to open in 'Non-exclusive' mode?
I'm a newbie to ACCESS, so any help will be greately appreciated.
I've created a form with Record Navigator which allows a user to create a new record. When the form is opened how do I immediately put the user into add mode by default?
I have a db app that has all forms maximized continually (I have set the vba code to do so on Open, Close and GotFocus events). From my app Home Page form the user can browse to other forms in the db. When another form is opened the window automaically maximizes. However, when the user navigates back to the Home Page it goes in restore mode. I haven't told it to do this anywhere. I have also tried saving the form stretched out to fit the full screen, so that if it goes into restore mode it at least still fills the screen, but it still reverts to a restored window (about half the screen). It doesn't matter what configuration I use in the AutoResize, AutoCenter properties either.
I have been developing custom db apps in Access for over 8 years. However, this seems to be a stupid (albeit simple) problem that is annoying me. I currently use Access 2003 and this issue is new (or so I believe since I never ran into the problem in previous versions).
Have a question on the switchboard choices I've always wondered about. Why are there only "Add" and "Edit" modes to open a form from the switchboard? I see many, many times when you want to allow a form to be opened in "readonly" mode to page through records but not allow edits or additions. Why does Access NOT have "Readonly" as an option?
I have created a form in access 2000. I now want to change the table that this form uses. Normally I would just click the properties tab and then select data, a list of all tables would come up and I would choose the correct table. For some reason I cannot access the data tab. The other four tabs are all availabe, but not the data tab. It is like the data is locked or something. I have clicked on properties on my desktop icon and it is not locked. Please help.
I Have a project form test form sample form for 1 project there are n tests and for 1 test there are n samples.
The project form is alone and has a button to open the related tests in the test form. The test form incorporates the sample form as a subform.
What works: For entries already in the database when I click the related tests button on the project form it opens the test form filtered in the correct manner.
For the test form the sample form displays and increments correctly.
What doesn't work: When I open the project form in add mode I fill in the data and when it is done I click the related tests button and the linked/child field isn't there! No data, I can't get it to work...
Can you suggest something?
PS I cannot find anywhere in the Data properties the Linked field properties... neither child nor parent?
Is there a way to calculate the mode value in a query?
In a summary query, I need to return the value that shows up the greatest number of times in a certain column of a table. Is there a function built in to Access or an easy way to perform this, or do I have to make my own function to handle this?
I have a form which was locked down (ie Allow additions, allow edit and allow deletions were all set to no) on the Form property. I want to change this to allow edits so in design mode I changed the Allow Edits property to Yes.
I then went to Form view and was able to update fields on the form. When I exited the form it asked me if I wanted to save the changes so I clicked yes.
On going back into the form I can no longer update the fields I could before. Going into design mode I can see that Allow edits on the form property is set to no again.
What is happening here. There is nothing in the on load or other events to set this to no, besides this shouldn't change the form property should it?
I know I can get around it my setting the property in the form itself but why is the property getting reset in the first place.
