I have a form with a number of drop-down lists on it and each of these lists is bound to a field in a table.
When I return the results of a search to this form I want to allow users to be able to cycle through the records and change them if they want. However, the changes should only be saved if the user clicks on the "update record button". This button is simply the save record button by the MS Access wizard.
At the moment if they change the value in one of the drop down lists and move onto the next record the change is saved even though the user doesn't click any button. I want to prevent this from happening.
Any ideas on how I might achieve this?
If I prevent "AllowEdits" in the form properties I can't update the form using the "update record button" either.
Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code. The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime" Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False" DoEvents Loop
When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine. If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime. If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.
I currently have a form [order] that houses a subform [orderdetails]. is there a way for me to set up a print button on form [order] that will also update the [ysnPrinted] and [dtmDatePrinted] fields in subform [orderdetails]?
I have a form on which I have a button that I want the user to click after a cetrain field on that form is updated. I display a little pop-up box saying to make sure that a user clicks on that button. Is there a way to know that this button was clicked? Is there a way to not proceed with anything else until that button is actually clicked?
Just a query (no pun intended). Is there a way to ping an ip address which is taken from a table and at the click of a button it pings? Bringing up the cmd app to show the results.
I currently have a form with a button that once clicked displays a word document,however I have to double click on the button even though the code is on the single click event property.The only line of code is as follows OLEFile.Action = acOLEActivate
Does any body know how I can get the single click to work ?
I have a list box that I can select mulitple items from - I then click a search button and it runs a query that finds what I am looking for from a table and then displays the results in a subform. In the subform I can input weights and get a percent....anyhow.
How do I set up a button so that it will print out a report or the report from the subform information that is currently being viewed.
Also, I can already do this by clicking a button on the form and pulling up the installed report program but, you need to input data to get this report.
I kinda want this button to be a "I need it now" type of print option.
Thanks...as always my questions are probably confusing...:D
I was wondering if there is any way to control a user's input in to a form such that data entry does not automatically create a new record. Is there any way to collect all inputs in the text/combo boxes and create the new record only when a button is clicked? Cheers, David.
I have this command button whose caption switches from update record to save record with a msgbox verifying if the person really wants to take this action. On click the user is then allowed to update the record then in theory they would be able to hit the same button whose caption now reads save record, the msg box would appear with a yes or no answer required. The code I have is putting the msg box after the user clicks the update button.
Anyhelp and/or suggestions would be most appreciated!
Private Sub cmdOpen3_Click()
stDocName = "frmSearch"
If cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Update Record" Then If IsNull(Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject) = False Then Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject = "frmFTMInfo"
If cmdOpen3.Caption = "&Save Record" Then If IsNull(Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject) = False Then Me.FTMSubform.SourceObject = "frmFTMInfo" If MsgBox("Save update to this individual?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Save Update?") = vbYes Then DoCmd.Save DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmFTM" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName Else MsgBox "Return to the FTMInfo Form!", vbInformation, "Save Function Aborted!" End If End If End If End Sub
I am building a database with a single table of records. I have created a form to allow new entries to be made to the table in a user-friendly way.
The problem I’m stuck with is how do I restrict the addition of new records on the form? I want the new record to only be added to the table upon the click of a button, but at present if I tab through, or exit the form the record is saved anyway.
Not all fields on the form are required input so I’m thinking that validation of every field is not the way to go.
I only ever want the record to be saved if a user clicks on a button and under no other circumstance.
I've been trawling through the posts back to about page 15 so any help would be appreciated.
Hello everyone!I need to call the button_click procedure for a button on a form (button1), from another form, if you see what I mean!.Basically the user opens form1. They click a button which opens form2. Once they have finished on form2 they press the close button, which is the point where I need to call the button1_click procedure on form1.I imagine it's something like this:Call Forms![frmForm1]![button1]![Click] orCall Forms.[frmForm1].[button1_Click()]But no matter what syntax I try it just won't work! They're very basic forms, with only 2 buttons on and basic commands.Any help appreciated! Thanks
I have a continuous form with button for every record, wich has a VBA code. I want to put Button in header form, when i click it, then should run all button in continuous form. How can I do that.
After data is entered into text box, on the "On Enter" event, how do I make it click a button on the form?Similar to the effect of when you enter your username then password, most people just hit enter on the keyboard to auto click the login button.
I have documents (mostly Word) stored in an Access table. The table contains two fields. (1) a text field with the document's name and (2) an OLE field that holds the document.
When I press a button with the document's name on it (or it could be a hyperlink or a dropdown) on a form then I would like the document stored in the matching OLE field to open in the appropriate program for that document.
If I could set the permissions of the document to read-only then that would be great too. If I could prompt for read-only or read-write (no password necessary) access upon opening then that would be even better.
I can store documents in the table, but I have no idea how to launch them from a form button (or hyperlink, or dropdown).
Note: This is all within Access. This is not a web page related question.
Getting better - but still far from being competent with VB can someone please help me with the following code.
On the On Click event of a command button I want to call up a field (from another table/form) and add A to it so it lands in a text box. So using the following example -
The table/form is called Patient and the field in question is URNumber. The form I want to put the command button is called RelatedDetails, and in a text box (IDNo) I want to put code that creatsed URNumber with an A on the end (or the beginning) Any ideas?
Hello everyone, hopefully you can help before I go crazy. i have been working on this problem now for 3-4 days.
I have two forms (ID-Injury Choice) and (Treatments). In both forms I have the control (InjuryID). What I am trying to do is when I click a button on the ID-Injury Choice form, the InjuryID control value is automatically transferred to the Treatments form.
For the life of me I can figure out this simple act. Any help would be appreciated.
I am very new to Access and have virtually no experience with vb, I'm trying to build a customer database with some forms that enable myself and a couple of others to keep track of customer contact.I have designed my form with 5 buttons at the bottom of the page with different future date values, I have made a field in my database called FollowUpBy and i would like to be able to click the buttons and have access take today's date plus the relevant follow up time-scale and insert that into this field. Also but on a separate note, I have the yes/no box for follow up required is there a way to make the buttons at the bottom and the date picker unavailable (perhaps shaded or crossed out) unless this box is checked?
I have a form listing out a bunch of clients. There is a button associated with each client that pulls open a new form with additional client information. There is information that is calculated on the backend and stored in the database when a user is inserted or different fields updated (i.e. there are reports that are due different time frames after the clients admission date. I automatically populate the database with those dates once the clients admission date is updated).
The problem I am having is that when I enter a new client or update a current client with new information and then click the button to go to their details page, those auto-populated dates are not populated. I am calling a subroutine that is within a module when the button is clicked. The subroutine works fine at other instances throughout the application so I know there is no issue with the code. I even call it if they click the close button, but before the information is auto-populated, I had to run a Me.Requery on the close button. I think this is because the records are not actually being updated in the database. I even have a DoCmd.Save acForms, "Clients" command before running the Call updateDatabase subroutine, but that doesn't do the trick. I can't run the Me.Requery after the click of the details button because when I do that it always opens the details form to the first ORDER BY record. I think that I need to update the selected record and re-call it in order for this to work.
