I'm in a pickle and hopefully you guys could help me out. My users are old and scared. They require things made in a familiar fashion which slows people in the know, but it's what makes them work well.
My most recent request from them requires me to make a "Submit" button for one of the forms that way they "know" the data is in the table. However, I know of no way to hold data cached until a button is pressed.
Is there a way to do such a thing? Cache data until a button is pressed? To the best of my very limited knowledge, data entry takes effect immediately.
I have a form which is used in the Data Entry mode. I have a button on it called SUBMIT which closes the form. Of course in actual fact, as soon as data is entered on the form, it goes into the relevant tables, even if the form is closed without using the SUBMIT button.
I want the SUBMIT button to actually work like a submit button, so that no data entered in the form is actually entered into the underlying queries or tables UNLESS the SUBMIT button is clicked. Is it possible to do this?
Alternatively, if there could be a MACRO or something so that if the form is closed in any other way, the data just entered is deleted.
I currently have a form with textboxes and 2 combo boxes. I have a submit button at the bottom of the page and would like this to take all the infomation from the form and add to a master table.
I was hoping to be able to create a pop up message to say "This item has been added to the database"

I have been creating an inventory control system for my small business. I am looking for a code that will generate to another form. So for example if I take out 4 aprons from the first row by hitting the '-1' button 4 times leaving 46 in total how do I generate the information from one form to another by hitting that submit button.
My other form shows Product ID, Date Taken, Product Description, Employee who has taken it, Amount Taken, and Total left in inventory. I need the correct information to show accordingly in the Inventory control form.
I have this database with the purpose to storage all the tasks that are done in my team. I have a table named Tasks with all their fields. Now, I would like to set a more user friendly way for clients to update this table. I have created another table with a list of most common tasks, so when a client wants to add their tasks list they can choose one of this tasks and add it to the list. I had created a form with multiple items that contains the common tasks and next to each task a button that adds the information they choose into the table "Tasks". This works just fine. However, I would like to add a single button at the top to add all the tasks instead of having to choose one after one.
The "Add All tasks" button has this code:
Private Sub Command79_Click() Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset Set MyDB = CurrentDb() Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset)
I have a form that I'd like to allow users to export to .xlsx via a button on the form. However I'd like to make it so that once the button is pressed, they are prompted to select a folder location before the export takes place.
I thought I would find a lot more 'how to' on this specific issue, but haven't had much luck.
I have a button which runs a list of queries that take roughly 10 seconds to run, when another user clicks the button while the other one is running it gives and error message 3405, File already in use.
I have a label that I use to display certain information that will not refresh for new, but existing, records. I have prepaired/reduced an zipped Access 2003 mdb file. Would it be possible to submit this file for review in order to locate the refresh problem? The size of the file is 598KB; what is the size limitations?
Before i forget: Sorry about my three identical posts before :-(
Here is the thing: I've attached a picture of one of my forms (on a very early stage). I want to save the inputs into a table1 containing all the coworkers. I want to write the value 'X' into the column selected in the drop-down menu. But only at the coworkers whose numbers are entered into the textboxes 1-6.
I have a form, that has some text fields and a couple calendars for the user to select the dates from.
What I would like to happen is, after the user enteres the data, and they hit submit. I want the form to go back to a new entry, but it's not quite doing this.
The data they type in dissapears after submit, but the calendars seem to hold whatever date they used. And when they try and enter another entry, they can't select the same date as before. They have to hit a different date first, before it allows them to re-enter the same day.
Anyone know why? Is there a way to make the form refresh, or reload after they hit submit? So it will allow them to enter something for the same day?
I have a simple data entry form...when the user enters in something and tabs to the next field, it automatically adds the data into that field. Is it possible to dissalow or turn this automatic update off? I ultimately want the user to complete the whole form, then click submit. At that point in time and only then will the data be updated into the table....(the submit button simply goes to a new record to add)
Or, same thing, when they tab down to the last field, and then tab to the first again (rolls over to new record)
I know many are opposed to multi-valued fields, but in this case it works out nicely for my purposes.. I pick a couple things from a table to put into a field in a separate table via multi-value lookup, and when I hit ok, nothing happens. Literally. Tried the enter button, tried a mess of different keyboard mashing, and nothing. URL....
Row Source: SELECT [Cage Codes].[CageCode], [Cage Codes].[Company], [Cage Codes].[Division] FROM [Cage Codes] ORDER BY [CageCode];
I am working on a form and I only want the information to be inserted into the database if the user clicks the button at the bottom. In other words, if the user is filling out the form and then closes the form, I do not want that record saved.
I have a form (called User_Input)with 2 text boxes, 5 combo boxes and a Submit button, which is bound to a table (called Submssion table) i.e the form submits its entries into the table called Submission.
I want the submit button on the form to work based on this condition:
1. Check current submission of four fields (corresponding to entries from 4 out of the 5 combo boxes on the form) in the table and confirm if the current selection on the form already occurs in the table up to two times. If this is the case, the Message Box should pop up on the form informing user to make another selection as maximum number of entries for that particular selection is already in the Submission table.
2. The checks for the four fields will be done simultaneously as the selection will be done together on the same form.
3. However, if the entries on the Submission table is not up to 2, the entries should be saved to the table and Messagebox should display "Thank you for your Submission"
I need to use Macros for this being a web database which will be published using Sharepoint and VB is incompatible with the web database.
The database has to be handled by a web service and/or a web appliction making the comma delimited option occupy more server time breaking down the string into usable user_ID's. But (and this is probably my actual problem) if i was to impliment my second idea, I'm not sure what I should make the tables primary key or the best way to relate it to the main user table.
My initial thought is to just have a, technicaly useless, ID be the primary key and impliment a one(User) to many(friends entries) relationship... but im a bit of an access n00b so thought i better come ask for some advice.
I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...
Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me. I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :
Private Sub Labelsearch_Click() Me!itemquery.Requery End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2 Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255 Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543 Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255 Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) 'Come back to initial state when button release' Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1 Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685 Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608 Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True End
If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code : me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine. Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o
I have database with user level security that works fine, but I have asked to place this database onto our secured network which means multiple users could have it open at any given time.
How can I setup this database to allow multiple users? I am very, very green at Access. Please don't say split the database...please! :eek:
If I place the program on a server, how can I tell which users are using the program? Also, is it possible for me to kick someone off the program without going to their computer?
Please refresh my memory on how i can set up a database having about 10 users possibly making entrie at the same time. I am trying to make a small database for containing employee surveys.
When the application starts up I need to control the user of the system, I will have to accounts which I will define one will act as an admin and the second will act as a user the differences is that the user acts is “read only” cannot add, delete and edit.
I would appreciate your comments and ideas regarding this part?
I want to create and mde file in order for the users not to change any thing on my design, I will be uploading the file into my server and give them the path to access:
1.3 people (max) will be accessing the database, is that a problem or not? 2. I cant create an mde file I have to convert my db but I have read as well if I covert it to 2000 people who have lower or higher version wont be able to access it, how can I fix that?
I think I am missing sth here, after I set my new group then I create my new user, then what! How can I specify which user to login with? Will the user be promoted for a username and a password?
