Update Form Everytime Database Is Opened

Jan 24, 2006

One of the forms in my database has a calculated text box control. The calculation is conditional, one condition being based on current date. One of the queries display that calculation. If the the form with the calcualted control is not opened before running the query, the calculated control uses the day the form was last opened as the "current date" which is not what I want. I want to do one of two things:

Either: (Preferably): update the form everytime the database is opened, so that the current date is actually the current date and not when the form in question was last opened.

Or: Update the form first before the query in question is run. This is not preferred because, if I use the calculated control in another query or something, I have to have another "update" step.

Form Doesn't Always Update When Opened. Is This A Requery Problem?

Apr 11, 2005

Please refer to the attached file. The form of concern is frmAssessmentInput.

Select the appropriate criteria per instructions (in red), including entries on the continuous subform. Then click the "Input data" command button. A 2nd form opens (frmObservations) that contains a textbox labeled DocumentStreamID, and this textbox SHOULD contain the value from the corresponding DocumentStreamID textbox contained in the master form, where you clicked the command button. However, even though the sources are linked properly, the value doesn't pass if you click the command button immediately after adding a new record to the continuous form; it only passes if 1) the master form is closed and reopened first, or 2) if you close the 2nd form, toggle to design view and back to form view for the master form, and then click the "Input data" button again.

What is going on here? Given that the value passes once another procedure is run, do you think this a requery problem? I tried placing a VBA control requery in the 2nd form's On Current and On Load events, but this didn't solve things for me so I took out those event procedures (code could have been wrong though).

Read Only Database When Opened With Application

Jan 5, 2012

We have an application that copies a mde file local and then runs it under msaccess 2003.

It runs fine as a local administrator when using the application.

When a regular user logs onto the system then it opens with a read only message. It does not create the ldb file.

The mde works fine if launched directly as regular user or as an admin.

This same application works fine on other PCs with anyone logged on.

The application is developed locally but we have lost the source code.

Form Won't Stay Put When Opened

Nov 8, 2005

I have a Main Form that utilizes tabs to control several other forms by opening, closing and making them visible/invisible. One of the forms needs to be closed when its tab on the Main form is unselected. The problem is that once the form is closed, when it opens up again it opens right infront of my Main form's tab control so I need to move it down an inch to get to the tab control.

I've positioned this form where I want it and saved it numerous times. But once I select the tab, it opens up right ontop of the Main form's tab control again. I have the AutoResize set to No and the Auto Center also set to No.

Any ideas how I can get this form to stay put?

Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.

Formatting A Form Before It Is Opened

Jan 2, 2006

hopefully someone will know what to do...

i have a form that has a bunch of check boxes and labels that are hidden to start with,and become visible when a confirmation button is pressed. Wen i set this up in the design view i.e making their visible status = false, everything runs accordingly - however when the next person comes to update their details the form will not format properly. i think the reason has something to do with the check boxes having different visibilty statuses after the initial confirmation i therefore used code on the form open event

If Check2.Visible = True Then

check.Visible = False
End If

however this tends to fail at the first checkbox, however if i then press run on the VBA screen everything else seems to then run fine and so only the first checkbox is left visible...

can anybody help....

thanks in advance i hope i have made myself clear..

Got Warning Everytime Opening An Access File

Dec 3, 2006

Hi,

I wonder if anyone here might be able to help me out here. I've been pondering this issue for so long and i was almost giving up.

I've been getting this warning everytime i open up an Access file (.MDB) especially, when trying to open up a file that's sitting on another computers. i have a few computers and they are set up in a peer to peer environment.

I took a printscreen of the warning message and attached it to this post. Please take a look at it. It's called "access.jpg"

Is there any way of turning it off? is it to do with the peer to peer networking?

Thank you in advance

Forms :: Refresh Form That Is Already Opened

Mar 17, 2013

I have forms that show commitments by Client, by Cost Centre, by Provider etc.

If I add new commitments or edit commitments it is done through the Commitments by Client form, as all other forms lead back to this one.

To create a new or edit an existing commitment, it is done through a Commitment Form, which goes into a query (query A)which does all the calculations. My client form has subforms based on Query A, however my other forms (commitments by Cost Centre etc) have subforms which have querys that are based on Query A . I hope that made sense.

My problem is that If I edit a commitment, the client form and subforms refrlect the changes imediately, even though they are open and I can see them changing when I change the commitments. However the other ones don't unless I close them and re-open them.

My navigation within the database is based on once a form has been opened it is set to be invisible untill called on again (i.e. visible = False).

How to requery all the forms without having to close them.

Go To Last Active ID When Form Is Opened Or Refreshed

Sep 14, 2012

I have main form with everything on it using tabs and so on and everything is working fine. What I would like to do is this. Since I am jumping frequently between different records and many actions require main form to be reopened or refreshed and when this happens the form goes to random records, I would like for form to go to last record i was on before it was refreshed or opened.

I was thinking using tempVars to set the id but the problem is that I am not sure what can trigger the TempVars since I am jumping between the records and not making any changes to them.

Modules & VBA :: Pass Value To Form That Opened A Popupform?

May 9, 2015

I have two subforms in a tab formation sitting on a main form. They can both open up a single popup form (via a button) and that popup form is opened via openargs with the autoID field.

What I need to do is pass back a value on the popup forms [On Unload] event to the subform which opened it.

As the popup form is Modal, the subform which opened it can't be changed.

Am I right in thinking I can pass back the value to the form which had previous focus?

Previously, to pass a value from a popup form to a single form I've been using

Code:

If CurrentProject.AllForms("MyForm").IsLoaded Then
do this
else do this
end if

But in this instance, how do I code the On Unload event in which to tell Access which form opened up the popup form, and pass a value back to it?

I'm guessing
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
has something to do with it?

Avoiding DB Login Screen Everytime We Run MS Access DB Queries Which Have Oracle DB

Oct 9, 2006

Hi -

Currently I have MS Access DB which has some Oracle database table reference using database link concept. I have entered DSN Name,user id and password which it asks when I try to run some queries which will fetch data from oralce DB linked tables.If some wants to use my MS Access DB, they need to have DSN and everytime they run queries related to Oracle database table reference, it will ask for DSN,user id and password. For this I need to share the user id and password credentials to everyone who wishes to use my MS Access DB which I don't want to. Is there a way to avoid the login window whenever some one wants to use my MS Access DB without asking for oracle user id and password credentials everytime? My ultimate aim would be encrypt password for others.

Thanks,
Ashok

Modules & VBA :: Saving Combobox After Form Is Closed And Re-opened

Sep 26, 2013

I have a main form called frmAF54. In this main form I have a subform named frmPassdown. The subform record source is from a table called tblCards. This table contains many different cards. I have a combobox called lstOpCard in the main form as well. The combobox lists all of the different cards in "tblCards". I have a button called "buttonFilter".

A user opens the form and clicks (or selects) the different cards in the combo box "lstOpCard" that they want to filter for. Once their selections are made, they can click the "buttonFilter" button and the subform "frmPassdown" will be filtered based off of their selections.

The filter is applied using the IN() function as shown below:
Me.AF54PassDown.Form.Filter = "[OpCardID] IN ( " & sTemp & " )" --sTemp is a string containing the keyIDs of the cards selected.

My problem is that people will be opening and closing the form throughout the day / week. When the form closes, it loses the applied filter. How can I have my filter on the subform be saved after the form is closed and the filter is still applied when the form is opened later?

Forms :: Access Form Must Be Opened In Design View Before Use

Oct 1, 2013

I have a access form that has a text box that holds a search term. The search term is used as a variable in a query. The query results populate a list box. Selecting a result in the list box populates the rest of the form where the record can be edited. All of that works great...sort of. When first opening the form you cannot view any records. The search function works fine and the list box populates but selecting a record does not populate the rest of the form. Attempt to navigate (next, first, etc.) and you get a "You can't go to the specified record" dialog. There is a simple fix for this. Open the form as normal. Then switch to design mode. Do absolutely nothing. Switch back to form mode. All is well.
