I have a date/time field on a form that has the default set to "=now()" which puts in the system date and time. I need to change it so that the date changes to the next day any time after 11:00 PM (instead of midnight). This is because our third shift starts their day at 11:00. If they start entering data right away, alot of their work shows up on the wrong (to them anyway) workday date. I'm struggling with the expression builder to get this to work.
One way is changing the time to be an hour ahead but that will affect the entire day when I just want to change the date for one hour per day.
I was wondering if there is any way i can popup image on rollover on button or label. if yes, how to do it.

I need to change some buttons to yellow (I know the code for that) but later change them back to the previous shade of blue, which is shown in the Properties pane "Accent 1, Lighter 40%".
By clicking in the standard colors area at the bottom of the colour chooser I can find a very similar blue #D6DFEC but it doesn't look quite right. And the "accent" colour does not give me a Hex value.Is that "usual" blue even one colour? How can I reset a button to that style having changed it?
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 RelatedI have an option group with two toggle buttons. Is it possible to set up the option group such that only one toggle button is visible at any given time (i.e. the unselected option) So the group has a default value. Clicking the visible button should switch the value, hide the button (option) associated with that value and show the alternate button (option) for the alternate value?
Basically only having one visible button at any given time which toggles between the two values (but I'd like to retain it as an option group, rather than as two independent buttons, as that gives me a handy value from which to determine control sources elsewhere)
I've tried setting the visibility of the buttons from the AfterUpdate event of the option group but it doesn't work.
I know I can do this with independent buttons but was hoping there was a quick(er) and easy way to do it with an option group instead?
Hello everybody,
I’m new here and I have a question for you..
Is it possible to place round buttons or oval buttons on your forms instead of the normal square ones?

Hi,
I've created a database in access 2003 with the default file format being Access 2000. Everything works fine on my computer and many others, all of whom are running different versions of access (2000, 2002 & 2003).
I have not had any problems with this database until recently and in the last few weeks we have had 2 users, both of them being Access 2000 users who have had the same problem.
The problem they are having is that when they click on any of the switchboard items, the buttons depress an then come back up again when the cursor is moved away, but nothing else happens - no action, no error message - nothing!!! Its the same for all of the buttons on the switchboard.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have another computer with Access 2000 on it and this works fine, as it does on several other computers runiing Access 2000, I just cannot understand why it is not working on these 2 particular machine.......
Many thanks in anticpation.

I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.

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.
:confused:

I thought i'd seen this before, but I can't find it now.
My Access 2003 command buttons appear flat instead of raised.
Is there a fix for this please, anyone?
I'm a bit tired of the buttons I have been using both default MS and my custom ones. I'd like to find some more interesting versions that I can use and have been searching on google etc but the options are limited. Does anyone have any favourite links I can follow?

Is there a way to introduce like a drop down list where they select 'medical' and it will only show all the buttons related to medical (Obviously I will specify which ones these are)

The button to access the password will be called DCC Log In.
This will then allow the Command Button DCC to be Clicked (Previously Hidden as in the example)
This opens the DCC Form (already achieved by =openForms("DCC")
I want to put three buttons on a form to filter records (Filter by form), a clear form button and one that applies the filter (Apply Filter) similar to those on the toolbar. The wizard for control buttons in the toolbox isn't helpinjg much. Any ideas?

I am working on a database to hold the data regarding our company vehicles. I have a table for the details of the vehicle (i.e Registration, VehicleType, Drivername etc) and a number of tables for different types of equipment (AccessEquipment, LiftingEquipment, StandardEquipment and others).
I have a form that runs on a query with the criteria to search for the registration number. I have also set up forms to show each type of equipment to use as sub-forms. I would like to have on this main form a number of command buttons that would open the specific sub-form on the main form.
How can I do this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?
Whenever i make a button on a form to do something like go to the next record or open a form, i get a message saying "invalid procedure call or argument" when i press ok the VB debugger open and gives me this code
Private Sub Command17_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command17_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Exit_Command17_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command17_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command17_Click
End Sub
I recently upgraded to Access 2007 from 2003. The upgrade was in June and went smoothly. I added a couple of drop down boxes to my form in August and that seemed to have gone fine as well. Suddenly, at least two weeks later, my form buttons are not working. I added the pathway to my database to the list of trusted locations. Everything I have read says this should work. This did not make a difference. I am able to edit forms, run queries and reports, and can add new records by entering data directly into tables but am not able to add new records, view details, close forms, or exit using my buttons/forms.

View 14 Replies View Related I'm trying to create a switchboard through which one can access data entry forms. Now there are about 13 of such forms but I've put only 3 here for simplicity. The idea is to have a button (on the main switchboard) represent each category but I understand the switchboard will not allow more than 8 buttons on it? I guess that by the end of the day, I will probably have two secondary switchboards for these 13 buttons. I created the main & secondary switchboards (the second is called "This is the Look I want"). A button called "TheOtherBoard", on the main switchboard, should take me to "This is the Look I want".
1) I don't like the way the Main switchboard looks and decided to create the secondary switchboard with the look I prefer but it duplicates anything I do. How can I fix this?
2) when I double click on the main switchboard, the secondary board (with colourful buttons) opens. Should be the ugly one first!
3) Also, since I manually added the buttons & stuff, I think I'll need to link them with the forms.
I have an access database that is used as a front-end application to a sql server 2000 database. Users have adequate permissions to access database and functionalities but a few are receiving the following error message:
"Connection Failed. Invalid connection string attribute."
Hello to all the Users!
I am new at Access and new to programming.
I have created an Access form that has four labeled control buttons each one with an individuals name. I have the corresponding code:
Private Sub Email_PersonOne_Click()
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , "personone@yahoo.com", , , "Work Request", "A new work request has been submitted."
End Sub
When I have one button and one code the email function works. I want the users to be able to select one out of four people who they want to notify upon completion of the form. So I have four buttons and changed the email address and the names on the buttons but now none of the buttons work.
The code is on the same page separated with just a line between each section.
Does this make sense?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Sincerely,

I did a search and found this thread, and the only problem i encounter is the min max buttons are gone though it was set up as both enable, how to show those buttons.

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:
Sorry if this is too trivial to be posted as a new thread, I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to do this but have failed miserably.
I want to remove the set of command buttons at the bottom of the forms, (the navigation buttons to move the next record etc.) as i want to create my own. And also when I have got two or more subforms this looks too cluttered.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
