I created a form to select individual subcontractors from my database to print their info and it works wonderfully, however, when I close the form I would like the check boxes to return to the default of unchecked so that when I open the form again, there are no checked boxes. How do I do this? Thanks!
View RepliesIn Tools, Options Edit/Find I wish to uncheck the Confirm record changes, Confirm document deletions, and confirm action queries as these are automatically checked by default.
I did this when writing the database, but when users open it, these boxes are checked by default.
Is there any way to uncheck these by code on opening the database?
I have a search form (Form1) that sends the results to another form (Form2) using OpenArgs.
When Form2 opens with the filtered records, it may display 1 or more records (for example, the order number searched for in Form1, the customer may have bought 2 items)
So with my 2 records displayed in my continuous Form2, I have included a bound check box that can be checked by a sales team member of staff if we need to send a replacement item(s).
If the sales person has started the process and checked the box for both records but decides to close the form instead of reordering the goods for the customer (hometime) and decides to Close Form2.
How do I program Access to uncheck both boxes so the table is not updated with the check for each of the items, as this will start a chain reaction and the goods will get packed and shipped. It currently just unchecks the first record if I include Me.ItemSelectedResend = False in the Close form vba code.
I thought about just including a message box on the screen prompting the user to uncheck the boxes before closing, but surely there must be an automatic way in which I can do it.
I wanted to uncheck all check boxes on a form on exit. I added the following to the ON EXIT event of the form. It works, but takes a lot of time to finish. there are close to 700 records on this table:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
.MoveFirst
Do While Not rs.EOF
[Code] ....
'SELECT' is the name of the check box. Is the code correct? If not, could you correct it?
My form contains a subform that displays the results of a search on the tblcontact. when a search or selection from a pair of combo boxes is selected the results appear with the checkboxs selected. I would like a button that unchecks the results and another the shows all records.
form - frmDynamicContact_Subform (record source tblContact)
subform - frmDynamicContactList (record source qryItemListYes of tblContact)
checkbox - "selected"
update query clears results not uncheck- UPDATE tblcontact SET tblcontact.selected = False;
I'm writing a simple form in VBA Access and I've added a check box, yet I can't get the darn thing to uncheck.... It checks just fine and does what its supposed to do, but when I click on it again it simply won't uncheck. What am I doing wrong here??? Thanks!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a table "LightDuty" with a field [Email Sent] that is a YES/NO field.
I do not have a checkbox on the main form for the [Email Sent]; instead this field is checked (in the table) when the user sends an email to the receipient. I use the [Email Sent] field as a criteria for my query.
I need to uncheck the checkbox when the user changes the date in a field called [Drs Excuse Exp].
This is what I have tried (in the AfterUpdate event of the Drs Excuse Exp control):
Code:
Dim db as DAO.Database
Dim rs as DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("LightDuty")
[Code] .....
I get the runtime error 3265 "Item not found in collection"
I have a db with a form showing all customers with communication checkbox checked, I want a button which uncheckes all chackboxes.. all I have now is a button which uncheckes the first record.. anyone an idea?
:confused:
In a current form I want to display a checkbox that can be checked or unchecked. Based on if the box is checked or not, a value will be placed in a field when the record gets updated or created...
I have created a check box but when I click it, I am unable to uncheck it, Im pretty confident I can do the later part in coding it into the database... its just having the free ability to check it or not!
I have a parent form which has a yes/no checkbox in the form's record source. Then in that parent form I have a sub-form. If NO records exist in the sub-form I want the checkbox to be UN checked. If records DO exist in the sub-form, I want the checkbox to be CHECKED.
But I want this to happen as records are added or deleted from the sub-form. In other words, if the parent form is opened and no records exist in the subform then the checkbox should be unchecked. But as soon as the first record has been entered in the subform, the checkbox on the parent form should be checked. Likewise, as soon as the last record has been revoved from the sub-form, the checkbox on the parent form should be unchecked.
What code do I need to accomplish all of this?
Does anyone know the code to exit from THE whole ACCESS program.
That is when I click the close button on the switchoboard, I want the system to close the whole of access program.
If my user uses the MS Access 'X' button (upper right hand of screen) to Exit the application does anyone know what methods are triggered that may let me perform some task before the application actually ends?
Thanks
I've created a new database using the standard Switchboard function. However, when I use the Exit Application command the database closes but MS Access stays open. It's a minor problem but infuriating, especially as I've never encountered this problem before and everything I try won't fix it. Any ideas?

Set fso = Nothing
Beep
MsgBox "Backup was successful and saved @ " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupPath & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "The backup file name is " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupFile, vbInformation, "Backup Completed"

Hi all,
How would i close access via vba after a function runs?
I know how to close a form, but id like to close the entire thing.
Thanks in advance
I have a form that automatically is shown when a user enters the database. I want to disable all exits of this form so that the user cannot exit the form before he/she exits the whole database. How do I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form with 4 tab pages. on the 2 tab page I have a subform that adds records to a table via 2 combo boxes.
I have been able to stop user from leaving a combo control blank or skipping to the next combo control, but if user clicks the Exit command button on the main form, from the 2nd combo control, it prompts that value has to be selected but the gives error:
"You cannot add or change record because a related record is required"
How can I stop this so form will close and undo the 1st combo selection and not give error?
What are the pro's and con's and setting the database to compress on Exit?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy main form has 2 “Continuous Forms” sub forms.
The cycle of the sub forms is set to “All Records”
Is there a way to exit the first sub form and move the focus to the second sub form utilizing only the keyboard? (Like shift + tab, or any custom buttons)
I’m trying to avoid using the mouse
Thank you
I have a form that has a command button on it. When the user clicks the command button I want the form that was up to be exited. I cannot find the correct syntax for this. Please help.

I use a form for data entry. When I hit the next arrow in the navigation button section (the default navigation buttons supplied by access), by data is saved into the relevant table.
When the I press the X on the form my data is also saved. However I'm not given the opportunity to say if I want to quit the form or save the data.
What do I need to set to get this functionality?
Thanks
Hi,
In MS Access, Form
I want to set up that if there is missing value of the fields, then we cannot go to next record or exit the form when we click to do next action.
I tried to add the code in the After update event, or Exit event,
Example Code:
if (isnull([Zip]) or len([zip]) = 0) then
msgbox "missing"
[zip].setforce
end if
when I click to go to next record, or exit the form,
it give out message "missing", it work fines,
but, it still go to next record, or exit the form after the message.
How do I fix it? Thanks.
I am working on adding the function of adding a date to a field on a form On Exit from another field. If the field I am exiting has a value of "No" i want to add the current date and if it is "Yes" I want to make sure the other field is null. I can't seem to find how to do this effectively. Can someone help me here?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all, I have a textbox with an input mask for an id number, so if I begin adding numbers I get an error message if they're not in correct format- this is fine- but I want the user to be able to cancel the entry and exit the form, but when I click the cancel button I get an error message about the id format- anyone know how I can allow cancel to override this?
thanx
I'm trying to figure out how to validate a field to make sure the users are not entering any blank spaces into the field. I've tried setting the mask up as "aaaaaa" but it still lets the user enter a blank space.
I've also tried building an event procedure to run on exit that reads:
Private Sub Barcode_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim LPos As Integer
Dim LChar As String
Dim LValid_Values As String
'Start at first character in Barcode
LPos = 1
'Set up values that are considered to be alphanumeric
LValid_Values = " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX YZ+-.0123456789"
'Test each character in Barcode
While LPos <= Len(pValue)
'Single character in Barcode
LChar = Mid(pValue, LPos, 1)
'If character is not alphanumeric, return FALSE
If InStr(LValid_Values, LChar) = 0 Then
AlphaNumeric = False
Exit Function
End If
'Increment counter
LPos = LPos + 1
Wend
'Value is alphanumeric, return TRUE
AlphaNumeric = True
If AlphaNumberic = False Then
MsgBox "Barcode cannot contain blank spaces, only letters and numbers.", vbExclamation, "Barcode Field Value"
Else
End Sub
****
However the message box does not come up and the form will not then let you get out of that field.
Any ideas? I've been checking on this field by running a query and then manually correcting the errors but I would rather that the DB check and force correction at the time the data is entered.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
