I have a form with 3 textboxes. Data in any one of them will be used in a query which is run currently through a command button.
I want to run the query after the user hits Enter in the textbox after their data.
I could use the 'after_Update' event but this activates when focus is lost from the text box, or on Tabs etc - not the intended function.
Any way to simulate this? (trap the chr of the Key?)

I have a list box that displays the contents of a back-end table that is has a new record added roughly 45 times per hour. I'd like the listbox to refresh automatically when a new record is added and, ultimately, notify the user that the new record is there. Are there any non-form events I can use to accomplish this? Right now, my workaround is to refresh the box once a minute using the form's timer. It works fine, but it's not pretty. Ideally, I could create some sort of event based on the new record being saved in the table.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi, I am not entirely sure where to look in the forum to answer this question, maybe someone can help me. I am just trying to create a simple code that would open a form if a user enter in a field a value that never has been entered before and open a other different form if the user enter a value already recorded. I can't find a 'not in recordset event', but there must be a way as when the form is set to Data entry with no duplicates an event occurs depending on the data being already recorded or not.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a database with three tables:
Participants (with name...), Events (with Event Name, date..., Event Attendance (Participant ID, Event ID, Date).
Relationships all work and reporting works. I now want to create a form for entering attendance into a single event as a batch. I only want to enter the event ID one time and then be able to enter participant ID's for all attendees. The event coordinator will have a tablet running the db at the door and each participant will use their ID card to be scanned into the event.
I don't want the coordinator to have to reselect the correct event between each participants scan but instead to enter the event once and have multiple participants ID's entered for the one event. The date field is defaulting to current date/time [Now()].
when pressing the return key (in a textbox field within a form) an action should be fired, but it does not.
here is my code:
************************
Private Sub txmyTextbox_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
MsgBox "Return key pressed"
End If
End Sub

Hello to all
The problem that I am facing is the following. I am trying to create a form that has the following:
1. A combo box in which you select from a list of users
2. A list box which is populated when I select a user showing me the courses that they have to take
3. Another list box that is populated when I select a course showing me the dates available for that course
4. Finally a third list box which is populated by what I drag or double click on the dates list box basically scheudling the user to his courses.
The first 3 parts of this done what is left to do now is the hard part which is to be able to drag and drop the dates in the other listbox which basically maps that user to that course date and populates the corresponding table. Any suggestions on how to do this would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance
I have a front end and a back end access files.My user save the back end on a shared network folder like:a.b.comfolderName$..I wish to simulate this path in my local pc in order to set the linked table links.My problem is that I can not modify my pc name to be "a.b.com".How can I simulate this in my windows 7 pc ..so I can set the linked table values to "a.b.comfolderName$" ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI know how to use a callback to to action a button click directly.
But I also have a drop down list of my buttons on a form (they are dynamically created, so the details are stored in a table), I want to select a button from my drop down lists and then action the button selected.
EDIT: In short - I want to execute a ribbon button via vba knowing its Control.ID.
I want to be able to simply type out my query. It's faster for me than using the GUI.
Where in Access can I just enter a statement?
Hi,
I have a Data Access Page which is generated on behalf of a query.
Query uses one parameter field ,so when is started it promts with the form named Enter Parameters in which I have to input parameter value.
So before the DAP is opened, first is displayed parameter form.
I would like to change dimensions of that form(height, width) but I dont know how.
I already tryied by opening DAP in design view & then in microsoft script editor but i couldn't find anything about this pop-up parameter form.
Any suggestions are wellcome:rolleyes:
I have built a database which has been running OK for 3 or 4 years. Something happened the other day (error - rebuild d/base) and now there are certain fields that I cannot enter any data into. Others are fine and I can see what is already there.
Any suggestions very welcome.
I have a form and it is related with a query and by clicking ok I got the required results in Access 97. But now I have converted to Access 2002 and whenever i enter values in the form and click ok I get a Dialog Box "Enter Dialog Box". I read MKB article but it did not help me at all. Please help me out I am not getting any idea at all to solve this problem?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have searched other threads and cannot find one that helps solve my problem. So, I hope someone can help.
I have a query which runs ok until it is filtered. I have tried using criteria to filter the info I need but this returns an 'Enter Parameter Value' message. Running the query without using criteria works okay but using a filter in the report itself returns a 'Data Mismatch' message.
The report filters fine on fields until it gets to one that has been changed from text to number. It also includes an Nz formula. The formula in the is field is: CLng(Nz([order_no],0)). Other fields related to this also appear to be affected.
I need the CLng formula as the field is needed to calculate other fields using a zero instead of a null which would otherwise cause an error. I was given the formula on this forum yesterday, (thanks Bob Larson and AlanJ10), which was great in solving the other issue but is this is what is affecting filtering, (ie. a confusion between text and number?!?!) I have also tried converting the result of the calculation I want to filter back into text using CStr but this does not make any difference.
I have checked the field names and also renamed fields that were 'Expr' (as in default names for calculated fields), and cannot see any problems.
Thanks
I have a query and one of the fields/headings i have it create is a "cost" total where it does a dlookup from a defaults table.
I then have a "listprice" which is antoher field in the querry of which the data table sits.
I want to take the [listprice] and minus the [cost] without re-creating the dlookup function...
I need this to help with an APR calulction using the RATE function which if i have it do all the dlookups it says I have exceeded the limitiation and will be trumcated. So if i use the name [cost] it works but i have to hit enter because it says "Enter Parameter Value".
Any ideas how to get around this?
Thank you.
I have the following query that gives me this halt. If I enter without responding to it it opens in Datasheet view as intended. It wants me to enter Query2.EmpID. This is my SQL statement.
SELECT qryPolicyByDriverName.CWSPolicy, qryPolicyByDriverName.EmpID, qryPolicyByDriverName.DriverName
FROM tblTrainingPoliciesNotCoveredDrivers INNER JOIN qryPolicyByDriverName ON tblTrainingPoliciesNotCoveredDrivers.CWSPolicy = qryPolicyByDriverName.CWSPolicy;
I don't know why this is happening. Thanks for looking at my problem.
I have a continuous form with an unbound text box (for search critera) and a command button to kick off the search, which simply applies a filter.
When a user enters text in the unbound text box and hits "Enter", I want the search to be kicked off (instead of having to tab over or mouse over to click the "Search" command button. This is the default functionality of an HTML <form>, so users kind of expect it. But I'm having trouble implementing it in MsAccess.
I've tried using the KeyDown property of the unbound textbox, but no luck, since the KeyDown method occurs before the data in the box is saved. I'm guessing this is related to detecting what key has been pressed but my issue seems to be the order of events occurring on the form.
Any suggestions? This *must* be common situation, but I've found no related topics in searching the forum.
ok im am not sure if this is in the right place but it seems to be a form problem.
i have a form that has a textbox(text1) which is used to enter a supplier name, the user then presses enter and another form opens up with all the supplier details.ok.
the code i have to do this is on the afterupdate of text1 which is unbound is
DoCmd.openform"SupplierDetails",,,"[Supplier Name]=" & Supplier name
when i use this code and the enter key is pressed an `Enter Parameter Value` dialog box appears with the supplier name under the blue title bar.if i then enter the supplier name again it opens the second form and displays all the details i want.
If i use the code
DoCmd.openform"SupplierDetails",,,"[Supplier Name]"= me.Supplier_name
it opens up the second form without the dialog box but it doesnt display any details.
is ther any way to adjust the first code so the dialog box isnt displayed and just goes straight to the second form and displaying the details.
i have gone through as many posts as i can but cant seem to find a fix.
any help would be appriciated thanks
Hello all,
Thanks to all the folks that have helped with my posts in the past.
I have 2 questions.
I have a form with textboxes.
When I tab from one textbox to the other, the tab goes to one of the buttons on the page. How do I tab from one textbox to another.
Also, I have a textbox for memo. I would like to press enter and go to the next line in that textbox.
Thank you very much.
I created a form to let user enter project summary. However, the maximum charaters is 255. What can I do to allow more charaters be entered in the form? I already set up "can grow" as yes.
Thank you.
I have a text box next to a button that takes the value in the text box and performs a search with it. I'd like for the search to be performed when the user hits Enter after entering the value in the text box (when the focus is still on the text box). I assumed that i'd need to use the onkeypress event to run the search function performed by the button, but i'm not sure how to do this. help anyone?
thanks,
Jason
