Multi-Item Form - VBA Editing On Load?

Aug 3, 2012

I have a Multi-Item form and would like to do some math and change formatting on some fields depending on content of data in each row. From what I can tell, the on Load even only lets you do something with the first row and does not execute the VBA code for any following row. I don't see any way to trigger the VBA code on a row-by-row basis as the form is being painted.

Any technique to do this or do I have to go to some other form type to do some dynamic formatting?

Multi Language Item Descriptions

Nov 7, 2005

I have a table of some 8000 items with a verbose (memo field) description in English. I need to add French and Spanish Item descriptions to some of the items ( but not all of them) and call up the correct description when processing orders and/or invoices. I want the system to automatically supply the english text if the French/Spanish does not exist.

I could go for the easy option of adding a language field to the table, and then simply replicating all 8000 items for french and Spanish and then replace the English text. This would work but probably affect performance.

What I really want is to add foreign descriptions to the table ( as a new item record) as and when they are required, and look for, say, a French Item Description, and if one is there. then use it, else find the fallback English descriptions. Trouble is, I have had no success trying to craft the tables/queries to do this.

I've played with group-by queries to deliver a language code, but run into difficulties with grouping memo fields. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated - I've searched the forum for "multi lingual" and "multi language" with no success, but my apologies if I'm asking an old question.

I'm posting this in tables and queries as I am not sure which forum !!

Thanks for your attention

How To Change Item Source For Multi-valued Field From A Linked Table To A List

Feb 16, 2013

I am using MS Access 2007.

I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.

Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.

How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

Setfocus On Repeating Item/accessing A Specific Item

Aug 18, 2006

I have a form that simply lists the items:
DEPARTMENT_NBR and DEPARTMENT_NAME

In the table: DEPARTMENT_TBL

When I edit the field DEPARTMENT_NBR and it is in error (must be between 01 and 99) I want to put out a message in a MSGBOX and SetFocus back on the DEPARTMENT_NBR.

I coded the MSGBOX with vbokonly and then DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus, but after the message displays and enter is hit for the ok the cursor jumps to the DEPARTMENT_NAME on the current line. Is there a way to get the SetFocus to work properly on repeating items like this? I can never seem to get them to perform the same as they do on non-repeating items.

Thanks for your help.

HERE'S THE EXACT CODE:
If IsNumeric(DEPARTMENT_NBR) = False Then
If DEPARTMENT_NBR <> "00" Then
MsgBox "DEPARTMENT NUMBER must between 01 and 99.", vbOKOnly
DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus
GoTo DEPARTMENT_NBR_EXIT (exits the paragraph skipping other checks)
End If
End If

Also, is there a way to look at a specific item in a list like that? IE. I want to reference the 3rd row's DEPARTMENT_NBR. Thanks.

Form For Editing Only

Mar 24, 2006

I set my form in Design view to Allow Edits but not Additions, and when I switch it to (or open it in) Form view, all the combo and text boxes and buttons disappear (the background color and header are all that's left).

All I want to do is edit existing records through the combo boxes. How can I correct this?

Editing Records In A Form

Oct 25, 2005

I have a very simple form that is populating fields with records from a number of tables (not queries).

I have found that I cannot edit any of the records from the form. Almost all of these fields are NOT key fields. When I click in the field, it simply selects the text in the field, but does not allow me to alter it (typing does nothing...the cursor just blinks). The same thing happens for blank fields.

I know this is a simple question, but I can't find the answer in help or searching this forum. I know it must be a simple setting (I think) somewhere but I've tried a number of settings in properties/forms.

Thanks,

Kelly

Maximize Form On Load

May 22, 2006

I have some trouble getting a form to open maximized. This form is opening from a switchboard that is centered and not sizable. After clicking on a command button in the switchboard the form I am having trouble with opens in its own window, but I cannot get it to maximize automatically. I have been to every setting I know on the form properties but for some reason nothing seems to be able to get that form to open maximized.:confused:

VB Code To Load A Form

Mar 14, 2006

Hi Guys

How do I load a form from another form? I would prefer to use VB (in fact, its probably the only way you can do it!). I have tried varius commands that would have worked in VB - but dont work in Access, like...

Code:Unload MeLoad Form_tblClientsForm_tblClients.show

The above code does not work AT ALL. It gets an error at the Unload Me line, an error at the Load Form_tblClients line, and the action 'Show' does not even exist under Form_tblClients, so that wont work either!

I am aware of Switchborads, but i want to know how to load a form, and make it pop up in a new window from within another form.

How To Load A Record On A Form

Jun 14, 2014

I only have one table that both forms pull from.

I have 3 forms. The only form a user will ever see is F_Main

F_MAIN (Just loads the 2 forms below within itself)
F_Data_Short (Grid View.. Rows and Columns.. All Records.. Shows some fields)
F_Data_Long (Single Record View.. Showing all fields)

F_MAIN
-> On the left is F_DATA_SHORT
-> On the Right is F_DATA_LONG

How can I set it.. When a record on the left included form is clicked.. it loads that same record on the right included form. No pop ups...

I know I can use the On Click option for the form on the Left... and set code or a macro to the load the data on the right. I tried everything and can't seem to get the data to load on the right when a record is clicked on the left...

Editing A Field OnClick In A Form

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!)

Forms :: Editing Records Through A Form

Aug 13, 2014

Just a general query about the best approach to take for an editing form.

I want to have two separate forms, one for adding a new record (have completed this) and one for choosing and then editing a selected record.

I have seen that people use combo boxes to display a list of records with fields. This seems quite difficult to use. Maybe that's the best way though?

How do you apply an edit button to a selected record in this type of situation? I suppose really I need a box that has a list of records with a little edit button next to each one, or can I do something that launches the edit form as soon as you click on a specific record?

Editing Table Entry From Form?

Aug 27, 2015

I have a Form that is used for creating entries to fill a table. On the same Form there is also a list that shows everything in the table and a double click on the list will populate the Form with that data. The problem is that "Save Record" command button will not update the table because it thinks it is creating a new record.

The code to populate the form from the list is

Private Sub EmployeeEntryList_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Me![Number] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(0)
Me![EmployeeNumber] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(1)
Me![FirstName] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(2)
Me![MiddleInitial] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(3)
Me![LastName] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(4)
Me![Supervisor] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(5)
Me![Group] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(6)
Me![Shift] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(7)
End Sub

how I can make it populate the form if an entry is double clicked and then be able to save a modified version of that record over top the original.

Form Does Not Load Until Loop Has Finished

Jan 3, 2008

Hi

I have created a small form that hold a cube of 9 boxes on it. The idea is that it will act as a small icon that indicates the system is loading. (Purely cosmetic)

I have triggered the boxes to change colour on a loop when the form loads but the problem is that the loop function is being carried out before the form actually loads. How do I get the form to display first and then carry out the loops to change the colour of the shapes?

Thanks all...
