Hi, I'm very new to programming and i have very little knowledge about it. My problem is probably more simple than I may think, but for some reason I haven't been able to find a solution for it.
In MS Office, I'm making a form with a few toggle buttons which are linked to Yes/No fields on a seperate table. What I would like to do with the buttons is in their default state, which is "No", I want for the word "No" to appear on the top of the button. When the button is pressed, I need for the button to display the word "Yes". I know that it's possible to set the caption on the button to "No". Is there a way to have the caption change to display "Yes" with the press of the same button it's on? If so how? Also to have the fields reset to default with a new page on the form.
Please explain it to me as if I'm a 5 year old trying to learn programming.
Hi all, I have a form with two subform on it and two toggle buttons. Clicking each toggle button will open one of subform, and clicking it again will close that subform. But the problem is that I need to click the toogle button two time to open the sub form. So, what is the problem??
This is the code under On Click event: Private Sub Toggle0_Click() If Me.TendComm_Label.Visible = False Then Me.TendComm_Label.Visible = True Me.TendComm.Visible = True Else Me.TendComm_Label.Visible = False Me.TendComm.Visible = False End If End Sub
Private Sub Toggle1_Click() If Me.AuthorizedSignature_Label.Visible = False Then Me.AuthorizedSignature_Label.Visible = True Me.AuthorizedSignature.Visible = True Else Me.AuthorizedSignature_Label.Visible = False Me.AuthorizedSignature.Visible = False End If End Sub
how do these work syntactically? there's no wizard for them.
i want to create a button that displays a picture, then when you click it, it shrinks the form and changes the button picture, and when it is clicked again, the form goes back to the original size and picture. thanks
Hi, I would like to have a toggle button on my form that when clicked it changes the button colour and the button text. The toggle button doesnt have to be bound.
Is there a way to show the toggle buttons in an option group as NOT selected when the form first loads up? I've cleared all the default value properties in the table and the form but it always loads as showing one of the buttons pressed/selected. I want the form to load and both buttons in the group look the same.
I am making a specialty form where it must toggle on or off when the user clicks on a boxed area. Since toggle backgrounds cannot be set to transparent, I need to do it some other way. I thought of either using a button to control a hidden checkbox, or just writing code altogether. The problem is that I don't know what code to use to programmatically change the state each time the box is clicked.
I have a contact list db that displays in datasheet view on startup. I also have an alternate form that displays in datasheet mode that i want to be able to toggle to with a click of a button. I would like the button to appear at the top of the default datasheet form, that will allow a user to toggle to the alternate form when they need to.
I have form with a number of of combo boxes that filter a query that populates a list box. It's used to track inventory. I want to add a toggle button that when press will filter my query so that it shows only items with a value > 0 in the quantity field. And when not pressed it won't filter by that field at all.
Here's a little design problem, all of my VB script works fine, it's just a design problem:
Toggle Button (onClick) { if pressed in, unlock protected field, pass focus to protected field else (if not pressed in), lock protected field }
Protected Field (lostFocus){ When Focus is lost, protect field then reset toggle button } See, there's no way that I know of for Access to tell what field has focus at any given moment. It lies inert until an event fires off then it responds. You can't wake Access up and tell it to go do something. So, Protected Field has to lock itself when it loses focus.
Here's the problem. If a user unlocks the field but then decides not to make a change and clicks the toggle again to lock the field, first Access fires the script to protect the field (locking it), then it resets the toggle button, then it registers the toggle button click which unlocks the field. See the problem? If the user changes their mind about changing the field and then tries to lock the field, it ends up unlocked. I need something that will work whether the user is good about it or whether the user is in a rush and forgets about it.
I am one of the guys that the dept. drops 1k to send to the beginner through expert level courses for Access, so I ask patience as I am new to VB coding.
I am working on a database to track patient surgical information. I am using a toggle button to control "patient surgery site" visibility, depending on the number of sites associated with them. They are labeled Site A Site B, Site C
What I want is if a patient only has one site, I press the appropriate toggle (Site_A_Button, Site_C_Button, and Site_C_Button) and only fields pertaining to Site A appear. If they have 2 sites, I can press both of the toggles for A and B, but the C will remain hidden, etc.
Each toggle controls 3 fields - For the Site A button - Site_A, Diagnosis_A, A_Blocks_Check For the Site B button - Site_B, Diagnosis_B, B_Blocks_Check For the Site C button - Site_C, Diagnosis_C, C_Blocks_Check
The *_Blocks_Check also controls visibility for a respective fourth field - Site_A_Blocks , Site_B_Blocks , Site_C_Blocks
So far, I have A and B working just fine. By default, the toggle for A is set to -1 so it is visible by default. Site B and C are default 0. Both A and B work exactly as I want them to, however, site C does NOT. It has identical coding as B, however, it is visible by default (despite the "default 0") and the Site_C_Blocks visibility (controlled by the Check Box) also does not work properly. Here is the VB-
Private Sub A_Blocks_Check_Click() If A_Blocks_Check = 0 Then Site_A_Blocks.Visible = False End If
If A_Blocks_Check = -1 Then Site_A_Blocks.Visible = True End If End Sub
Private Sub B_Blocks_Check_Click() If B_Blocks_Check = 0 Then Site_B_Blocks.Visible = False End If
If B_Blocks_Check = -1 Then Site_B_Blocks.Visible = True End If End Sub
Private Sub C_Blocks_Check_Click() If C_Blocks_Check = 0 Then Site_C_Blocks.Visible = False End If
If C_Blocks_Check = -1 Then Site_C_Blocks.Visible = True End If End Sub
Private Sub Site_A_Button_Click() If Site_A_Button = -1 Then Site_A.Visible = True End If If Site_A_Button = -1 Then Diagnosis_A.Visible = True End If If Site_A_Button = -1 Then A_Blocks_Check.Visible = True End If
If Site_A_Button = 0 Then Site_A.Visible = False End If If Site_A_Button = 0 Then Diagnosis_A.Visible = False End If If Site_A_Button = 0 Then A_Blocks_Check.Visible = False End If
End Sub
Private Sub Site_B_Button_Click() If Site_B_Button = 0 Then Site_B.Visible = False End If If Site_B_Button = 0 Then Diagnosis_B.Visible = False End If If Site_B_Button = 0 Then B_Blocks_Check.Visible = False End If
If Site_B_Button = -1 Then Site_B.Visible = True End If If Site_B_Button = -1 Then Diagnosis_B.Visible = True End If If Site_B_Button = -1 Then B_Blocks_Check.Visible = True End If End Sub
Private Sub Site_C_Button_Click() If Site_C_Button = 0 Then Site_C.Visible = False End If If Site_C_Button = 0 Then Diagnosis_C.Visible = False End If If Site_C_Button = 0 Then C_Blocks_Check.Visible = False End If
If Site_C_Button = -1 Then Site_C.Visible = True End If If Site_C_Button = -1 Then Diagnosis_C.Visible = True End If If Site_C_Button = -1 Then C_Blocks_Check.Visible = True End If End Sub
Now I know this is probably sloppy coding, but it was the only way I could get this to work properly at all, so feel free to critique as well.
I want to actually add additional sites (Site D and Site E), but not until I can figure out why the problem is with just A B and C.
I apologize if this seems a bit confusing, but if anyone could help out, I would be most appreciative!
I have a form with about 10 subforms on it, all of which have queries as source objects. All of these queries are based off the same table which contains a field for Customer. What I would like to do is have a toggle button on this form that, once pressed, essentially adds a "not like" criteria to each of these subforms' queries EXNot Like "Customer_A"). When depressed, the queries/subforms should exist as is.
My first issue is that when I add a toggle button, the control wizard does not start. It starts up fine for any other control, however. For example, I imagine that on the After Update event of the toggle button I would requery each of the subforms, but I'm not sure how to add the "not like" criteria to each of the underlying queries.
I have a form that contains a combo box, I used the access wizard to make this combo box select a record from a table of customers and display that record on the form.
The user then has the option to print that record.
This works fine.
I now want to be able use the same combo box but with a different table so I can select Records from a list of suppliers.
Is there a way I could use a toggle button to change the rowsource of the combo box and then use that same combo box to select records from my supplier table.
I have a form that I use to filter a sub-form. In the form I have 4 toggle buttons that filter the corresponding fields in the sub-form quite well. What I would like to have is when one toggle is selected, the user can select a second or third toggle to further refine their inquiry. I am attaching the code that I used for the individual filters.
Code:
Private Sub Toggle_Filter_DOB_Click() If Me.Toggle_Filter_DOB = True Then [Forms]![Phase 2]![FormPhase2_sub].Form.Filter = "DOB = #" & Me.ATS_DOB & "#" [Forms]![Phase 2]![FormPhase2_sub].Form.FilterOn = True Me.Toggle_Filter_DOB.Caption = "Filter On"
This is just an example and it is not exactly what my database looks like however it allows me to explain easier.
tblOrders and tblPurchaseOrders are related One-to-Many ( tblOrders.[ID]->tblPurchaseOrders.[AssignedID]).
Anyways, I have a listbox on my primary form that lists tblOrders by ID, Date, Consignee and OrderComplete. When I first built the form and I bound the listbox to column 0 ([ID]) and created the event on double-click which the code looked like this:
Code: Private Sub listOrders_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String Dim intLinkID As String intLinkID = Me.tblOrders.Value stLinkCriteria = "[ID] = " & intLinkID Debug.Print stLinkCriteria stDocName = "frmManageOrders" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Command23_Click: Exit Sub End Sub
Now, for whatever reason - either something I've changed or a bug somewhere... when I double-click the list item, it opens as a new record rather than the corresponding record. I noticed that the "Toggle Filter" button on the access ribbon was ticked so I unchecked it and it immediately switched to the proper record. Why does this happen and what (if common) changes can make this appear or work this way? I am a novice with Access and I am still learning VBA. I struggle with not knowing parameters by heart, although the syntax seems to be similar to other languages I've worked with.
I had somehow enabled "Data Entry" which is located on the Property Sheet of a Form under the "Data" tab. Apparently this mode removes your ability to actually filter values properly and is intended for what you'd assume it means - Data Entry.
I have a form with data fields and a list box, data is coming from a query. When I add a toggle button to apply a filter to the data on the form, the data in the fields are filtered, but the list box still shows all the data items. How do I use a toggle button or something on the form that when activated it filters the data in the list box and the list box only shows the filtered content.
I have a form that opens with a filter on depending on what the user is supposed to see. When I deploy this, I don't want them to see the "toggle filter" button at the top. I tried making a custom ribbon like this:
But it didn't seem to have any effect. When I applied it, it didn't even create "A Custom Tab". That might be because I have disabled everything that I could disable on the "Current database" options, I'm not sure.
I'm quite new to Acces (2010) . Currently, I'm working on a form in which certain fields are set to invisible. I'd like to toggle fields to visible based on the button clicked.
Example: Field 1: O No O Yes --> When No is clicked Field 2 (containing a date) becomes visible --> When Yes is clicked Field 3 and 4 (both yes/no fields) become visible
How could i Filter Form by Value in TextBox? (when toggle button is pressed, Form show records filtered by texbox, when unpressed - shows all records.)
Say I have two bubbles (options,buttons, whatever you know them as) I want the system to be set up so that only one of the two can be "true" at a time. Say they are titled Option1, and Option2. What code would I put on them so only one can be "true" at a time. If Option1 was true, and then someone clicked on option2, I want it to cause option 1 to go false.
I'm trying to update this movie database, and I need something to save me time, not to mention my finger. One field in this db tracks if a movie is colour or black/white. In the old/existing db, that was done with text - "color" and "black & white". I want to replace that with a yes/no field [Color]. But the db has a few thousand entries. What I would like to do is either change all of the [Color] fields in the new db to yes, and then manually uncheck the ones that are b/w. But I guess it should also be possible to do the whole operation automatically. Any ideas as to how to accomplish either of these would be appreciated.
Hi. I have never used a toggle button on a form before, and have searched the previous threads, with this one (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113115&highlight=toggle+button) being the most relevant I think.
I need a toggle button, so that when it is pressed, it runs one query, and when depressed, it runs another. Basically, it is used as a add/Delete button sort of thing....but the add is an append query and the delete is a delete query.
I can't seem to change the code in the above sample, can anyone help?
I have got a DB being used in the office, its a big one so obviously it has quite a large number of tables and forms, alotta the forms are either split forms or have related tables inside them (and in a few cases both)
Everything working fine but people in the office are getting confused, as there are many fields in some of these tables I've set default values to make things easier for everyone, however when people look at the info on the DB they sometimes see a new record, with some fields seemingly filled in (default values) and hence assume its a record that exists which caused confusion
I've attempted to explain that a star on the left hand side indicates a new record which doesnt exist, however this just adds to their confusion..... (seriously makes me wanna facepalm), anyways im thinking it might be simpler if there were a way to toggle on or off the new records row (or hide/unhide it)
of cuorse i know this may cause problems, as if im successful some people will go "hey what happened to the star in it?" or simply ignore the last row outta habit, however i figure ill cross that bridge when i come to it.....
I have a form that is basically just a matrix/visual of a query. Is there a way to "toggle" between the use of queries/data?
i.e. have a drop down and select query, "SH-LS", "FPH-ENV" or "FPH-Asset" and it will show the corresponding data. The queries are all set up the same, just gathers/calculates different criteria.
