Turn Off Screen Updating

Jun 15, 2005

I've had a search and can't find anything along these lines...

I've got some code which plays about with reports and it looks awful when it's running - is there an equivalent of Excel's "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" functionality in Access (2000)?

Screen Updating

Aug 3, 2006

I have a button on a form which closes the form and opens a different one. This causes the screen to "flash" as one is closed, the main menu becomes visible very briefly and then the new form opens.

In Microsoft Excel I used to use the VBA code:

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

to prevent this and only allow the final state to be displayed. I've tried this with Access and it doesn't seem to work.

Is there an equivalent?

Forms :: Updating Multiple Records On A Screen?

Feb 12, 2014

I have a screen with multiple records from a database. At the top of the screen I have a button that lets the user change the mode between read only and edit modes. The current mode is displayed near the button. When the user decides to update a record or records he goes into the edit mode and starts changing the records. The user may change any number of records on the screen. When editing is finished he presses a button called save and close gets feedback and leaves the screen. Now in this process how do I keep track of the records that are changed on the screen . Plus he can hit the page down key and go to the next page and make changes there also. Is it possible to stop the hitting of the page down key. What indicators can I use to spot the records changed?

A Simple Login Screen / Also Access In Full Screen

Jul 27, 2006

I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).

Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.

Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.

Turn Off Db Remotely

Dec 11, 2007

I have a multi-user db. There are actually 3 computers all on a windows network that access the db, which is located on my hard drive. The computers are in different offices.
I've asked the users to please close the db when they are leaving for the day - so that it does not remain open - and lock me out of design mode. But they sometimes forget and leave the db open.
When I come in in the morning (I'm the first one here) I sometimes have to walk to their offices and close the db manually.
Is there any way to close the app from my computer - so that all instances of the db are closed? Perhaps even a button somewhere with vba code that would do it?

#Error - How Do I Turn Into A Zero?

May 31, 2007

Hi, I have a query with a 'many to one' join from a table of selected part numbers I want to look at which includes new part numbers with no current order numbers, to a master order table with all order numbers raised against all part numbers. The query returns null values for the new part numbers with no orders. This is what I want to see and the order numbers are stored as text.

I have converted these to numbers using CLng as I need use them in caluculations that only require adding or subtracting - (no DIV#0 issues). However, the nulls are returning '#Error' in the calculated fields which creates a type mismatch issue when filtering or setting other criteria. All fields used in the calculations are numeric.

I do not really have any knowledge of SQL, but is there a way to make the '#Error' values show as zero or something else I could work with.

Any help appreciated.


Thanks

Turn Of Warnings On DB Startup - Is This Possible?

Jun 27, 2006

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure this would be allowed as it could be maliciously abused, but what I want to do is turn of warnings when a user fires up my DB.

What currently happens is a user gets 3 pop up warnings in a row the first time they use the DB with essentially the same warnings and "do you want to run this" questions.

The next time the user runs the DB they only get one warning.

On another thread I was told how to turn warnings on and off within the database:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=499732#post499732

'Turn warnings on & Hourglass on
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.Hourglass True

Code in routine that would generate warnings goes here.

'Turn warnings on & Hourglass off
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
DoCmd.Hourglass False

What I would like is some way to replicate the functionality for the DB. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Keith.

Perform An Action On Each Record In A Table In Turn

May 30, 2006

OK, usually I can figure these things out for myself, but I'm realy stuck on this one and any help would be appreciated

background: I work in a small scale pilot production line, and we take a series of measurements for every part that we make, each of which has a unique ID. Sometimes we need to take the measurements more than once, so that the data output from the measurement system (which it can append straight to an access table) has a part ID and a measurement number, the combination of which is unique (for reasons that I won't go into it is not possible to combine them into a single field, otherwise we would do this)

problem: The measurement system can be temperamental and sometimes sends the same record more than once, and It is horribly time consuming to go through and check manually
It occured to me that we could send the measurements to table1 (where they would be stored temporarily), and write a sub to go through each record in table1 in turn, compare the part ID and measurement number to the records stored in table2 (where they would be stored permanently), and append the record to table2 only if the part ID and measurement number combo has not already been taken, before moving onto the next record in table1 and doing the same thing

The part I just can't figure out is how to go through the records in turn and compare them, I can do the append and deletion using SQL, that's not a problem.

if anyone can point in the right direction I'd be realy grateful (or tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree completely)

regards
Bogzla

Reports :: Turn Off Double-sided Printing

Oct 1, 2013

How to turn on double-sided printing through code but I actually have the opposite problem and I can't find any solutions that have worked.

In order to be as green as possible, our printers are set up for duplex printing.

I have an Access 2010 database that creates discipline notices. This report, no matter what I try, will not print multiple notices on separate pieces of paper. Because they are discipline notices and are handed out to the associates, they must print on separate papers to maintain confidentiality.

Modules & VBA :: Turn Off Graph Double-click

Jun 5, 2013

Whenever I double-click a graph in a form that is being viewed it opens up MS Graph in edit form. This is confusing/ugly/etc and I don't want it to do that.

I tried adding some code to the double click event to make it do some other action (bringing up some graph modification tools I created), but as soon as those are closed MS Graph will then open up in edit form.

How to turn this off? It's incredibly unprofessional.

"Do Not Show This Screen Again" : Splash Screen

Aug 1, 2006

Hello all,

I have this splash screen, which welcomes all the users. It has an OK command button that exits the screen, and a checkbox that says "Do not show this screen again". I still do not have the code behind the checkbox. Thus I was wondering if there is a way where I could entirelly close or "get rid" of the splash screen until the user loggs in again. Because right now there is no code behind it, so everybody that checks it and click OK, leaves the screen. But they can still open it, if they select the "splash form".

Reports :: Count Number Of Record That Turn A Certain Color

Aug 22, 2014

I have a report that in the Detail section on Format will change a record to a certain color based a criteria. (See VBA code below). I would like to put a text box control in the report footer to count the number of records that turn a certain color, this is what I have so far for the text box control -

=Count(IIf([PO Date]=RGB(0,255,255),True,Null)).

It returns a zero.

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
'Set the backstyle to normal (default is usually transparent)
Late_Ship.BackStyle = 1
If [Po Date] > ([Order Date] + 2) Then
PO_Date.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 255)

[Code] ....

Forms :: Updating Fields Via Code Not Updating Table

Dec 16, 2014

I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'

Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub

When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.
