I ma going to sound a complete idiot with this question, but I have been working on a database for some time now, successfully putting buttons on forms with the wizard, jumping from form to form, form to report, basically the button wizard used to work now it doesn't and I don't think I have done anything stupid. (I hope). The wizard was brilliant, I'm lost without it. How do you restore it?
Thanks in advance guys. :confused:
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .

I have a Visible form and an Invisible (visible=false) form open at the same time. Is it possible to use a button on the visible form to execute the code behind a button in the invisible form. The subroutine on the invisible form is Public. I tried DoCmd.RunCommand and a macro with RunCode but... nada...
(There is a valid reason for this approach but i will spare you the boring explanation. I can think of a work around where I can bypass this need, but this way is cleaner (there are cases where the invisible form is visible and used directly, the form has data which is sent to a report to create a label). I have done everything else with VBA code but for some reason can't get this to work, so now i am obsessed)
Thanks, this forum is really a gem!
I am trying to create command buttons with a picture (bmp) on it, and centering the label and the pictures in the middle. I selected bottom position for the label, but it seems to keep the pictures always aligned on the left.

For the form New entry I am looking to open the form with the division name to filled into a text box. I also would like to have that box that box also correspond to a field in a the table for a new entry.
I am making a database for some people I work with, I'm having trouble with making a button to work. I want a button to go to the next tab on the tab control, but still in the same record. I prefer not to use the vba, but if I need to use it
View 9 Replies View RelatedAccess 2013 People,where the command buttons are not displaying properly?Notice the words and images are nice and centered in the buttons. The buttons are all the same size.Now look at the same DB in Access 2013:
See how the buttons look bloated and the images and wording are not centered anymore. And working on it in design view is a nightmare! When you try to move the command button part of it is left behind every time to try to move it.You can turn the themes property to "Off" but I like the themes.
I made a Point of sale using a form with different sub-forms which have command buttons on it. They basically run a append query from tblStockMain to table cash and on to transactions. That works all fine no problem.
The one missing thing to make it sweet is to rename the command buttons automatically from tblStockMain. With other words, if I change a product in the table it would change the name on the button and the picture if possible with it.
Is there a way to do it?
I want to put command buttons in the Page Header, however the page header is not visible from form view?
What is the purpose of Page headers?
I have two command add buttons on my form that go to two separate tables. I also have a go to next record button as well. Is there a way that I can put all three commands under one command button? They are already coded in VBA and all work properly individually, I just want to make it smoother if possible ..

I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.

I am a newbie at Access and I am currently learning it for my job...I have a database going and I am wanting to do two things and I can not figure it out for the life of me.
Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
How do I make the command buttons on my form actually do something, the only one that attempts to work is "DELETE RECORD" the others dont do anything at all
View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to create a new database which has a startup form that has 4 command buttons.. My problem is that I want that every click of the command buttons will take me to the main switchboard of the other/different database..

anyone help me?:(
I know how to change the color of the font of the command button, but saw nothing in properties on how to change the color of the button... is this at all possible. If you need a reason, it is for designing preference really.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhey, i have a form which uses one table only which is for purchases. it has 4 fields:
memberID:
productID:
quantity:
date:
and then it has a button - "Add Another Purchase" which confirms the purchase.
However, I want the stock number in tblProducts to decrease by the quantity whenever that button is pressed. I have tried using MS visual basics to enter a code but i dont think he "Stock number" is recognised, as it is in a different table to the one i used for my form. (i have linked the two tables, however)
any solutions????????

I'm running Access 2000 and want to use some different icons than available through Access on some command buttons. So far, I can only get it to accept bitmaps. This isn't a problem if bitmaps can have a transparency. I don't think they can though. Any suggestions?
The icons I want to use have a transparency.
Thank you,

I have a form listing clients. Each has a command button linking to another form with client details and other option. One the bottom of the form is an Add Client button. I want the user to only be able to add a max of 6 clients, and the buttons to these clients be invisible until the Add Client button is pressed and the information about the client is filled out. Then back on main form listing clients, the client name will appear with a command button that will link to client details. How can this be done? I've seen it done, but can't figure it out.

I would appreciate any help, thanks
Please can you help
Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to get some code to work that a member of this forum helped me with some years ago. Basically I have a form with a combobox that is used to select the user name and a textbox for the password to be entered. There are two different types of user, manager and clerk. The logon button must open the selection screen form but if the user is a clerk, then the delete client command button must be disabled.
I keep getting a 'Compile Error stating Block If without End If' and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
I'm also not sure what code I should be writing to disable the command button dependant on user.
I know this is not great security, but it's only going to be used as an interim solution for 4 people (none with access experience). Can anyone please explain to me why I'm getting the compile error and what code I would need to disable the command button on the form and where I would need to put it.
Many thanks.
Here is the code:
If Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then
If Combo10.Column(3) = "Manager" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen"
ElseIf Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then
If Combo10.Column(3) = "Clerk" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen"
End If
Else
Msgbox "Incorrect Password, try again"
End if
