Using VBA To Assign Value To Control

Aug 18, 2006

I have been pulling my hair out (OK, I would be if I had enough to do so) over trying to assign a value to a control on a form. Basically, when a change is made to the form, I'm using the AfterUpdate event to trigger the code. The code in the event is

Me.txtWho = Environ("UserName")

Simple, straightforward or so I thought. Problem is, it gives me an error stating I cant' assign a value to that object. txtWho is bound to a field in the query underlying the form and the control is enabled and not locked. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please????

Modules & VBA :: Assign Value To Enumerated Control Property

Sep 13, 2014

I want to retrieve and assign values of a control's properties by naming the properties. So for example:

Dim myHeight As Long
Dim myPropertName As String
myPropertyName="Height"
myHeight = 315
Forms!Myform.MyTextBox.Height = myHeight

I can retrieve the value using Eval:

Debug.Print Eval("Forms!MyForm.MyTextBox." & myPropertyName ) gives 315

How can I do the inverse operation, ie.assign the value of a property whose name I have in a string MyPropertyName? I mean other than a brute-force approach with a huge Case.

Forms :: Vba Assign Text Box Control Source

May 30, 2013

I am working with textbox [DispCD] (a date field) on form [Contract]. There is a dropdown on combobox [Searchbox] for selecting the desired record. I am writing VBA in the [Searchbox] OnChange event. The control source for [DispCD] would normally be "=Searchbox.column(11)". If "column(11)" has a date, I want [DispCD] to show that date and then be locked. If "column(11)" does NOT have a date, I want [DispCD] to allow entry of a date with the date picker showing. I've tried to assign the control source to [DispCD] with this:

CSVal = Format(Forms![Contract]!SearchBox.Column(11), "ddd m/d/yyyy") (this works)
If CSVal = "" Then _
Forms![Contract]!DispCD.countrolsource = "=SearchBox.Column(11)"

I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" error.

Modules & VBA :: Assign OnClick Event To Control Through Code

May 27, 2014

Visual Studio IDE environment and I have been working with Access VBA for almost a year now.

I am very used to generating my form controls in runtime and being able to create some cool user interface interactions by being able to say btnExample.OnClick += MyDynamicClickFunction

MyDynamicClickFunction(Object sender, EventArgs e).... code

Any way to assign functions to the events of already made controls on a form. Probably during the load event?

Now I have found that there are many ways to replicate Visual Studio's features by accessing User32 and replicating them

Forms :: Way To Assign By Design Certain Item Number To Given Control?

May 12, 2015

The code I am modifying looping through Me.controls collection to identify appropriate control types. Is there a way to influence the order (sequence) of that traversing? Or in different words, is there a way to assign by design certain item number to a given control?

Forms :: Hex Number Conversion - Assign Back Color To A Control

Aug 9, 2014

I'm using Access 2010

What I want to be able to do is to assign a back colour to a control from VBA. There are many colours and what I thought would be an easy process was to choose a suitable colour to be assigned using the colour picker for a control, note the hex number then in my vba code would be

if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34

This compiles OK, but produces a completely different colour - I'm expecting an orange colour but getting blue and in another example a pale blue is coming out a brown.

Research indicates adding an ampersand to the end changes the value from integer to long but if I type

if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34&

The second ampersand disappears. In the immediate window

?&HF0AD34
?&HF0AD34&
?Val("&HF0AD34")
?clng("&HF0AD34")
?Val("&HF0AD34&")
?clng("&HF0AD34&")

All produce the same value of 15772980, which if I copy back to the control backcolour property produces the blue colour and not the required orange - which if i debug.print me.mycontrol.backcolor give me 3452400 - the correct number for orange.

The problem seems to be converting the hex number to a long.

Also how to modify the properties window to show the decimal value rather than the hex value, but can't see anywhere to do this.

Assign Variable From SQL

Dec 28, 2005

I have a table set up like this:

tbl_original
account, invoice
11111, 1
22222, 1
33333, 5
44444, 3

I want to create a function module or something similar which will assign a variable to the max invoice # used on that table, using sql if possible. I tried something like this, but it's not working.

Public Function max()

Dim maxinvoice As String

maxinvoice = "SELECT Max(tbl_original.invoice) AS MaxOfinvoice" & _
"FROM tbl_original;"

MsgBox maxinvoice

End Function

I would like the msgbox to popup saying "5", since that is the max invoice # used based on the above table.

I don't have too much experience using modules on their own without forms and variables on the form to assign to, can someone make a suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Can't Assign A Value To This Object

Mar 27, 2006

Greetings, all.
Run into a snag with a payroll db, appreciate any help you can give me.

Main Form, with ordinary payroll/personnel info--clock no, first and last names, S.S.no., etc.
Subform for entering regular hours worked, OT hours worked, etc per Period Ending, keyed to main form by SS no. Pretty basic stuff.

Problem is, when we try to enter the first data in the subform, we get this error message :
"You can't assign a value to this object.
*The object may be a control on a read-only form.
*The object may be on a form that is open in Design view.
*The value may be too large for this field."

We get the message in the first field we go to, no matter which field we go to first.
None of the "may be" conditions apply.

When we hit "OK" the message goes away and we can enter our data, the records are created corrected. But as soon as we move to the next record, we get the same error.

Any idea why we're getting this error message?

Thanks for looking,
BeckieO

Assign PO #'s In Batches??

Aug 1, 2007

Hi, all! I'm working on another project and need some advice.

I've got a form where users enter items that will be listed in a budget report. This budget report is submitted to the client for approval. Once approved, these items need to be entered into a PO (purchase order) form and report. There is a checkbox that says approved for PO on the budget form for each record.

What I'm looking for is a way to group the records (that have been approved for purchase) together by vendor, and assign them PO #'s. I know that the end result will be doing an append query that will throw all the records into the PO table, but I don't know how to get the grouping and everything to work.

Does this question make sense? If not, please let me know what info you need. I really need help with this. Any ideas? Thanks!

Cannot Assign A Variable

Nov 7, 2007

I have a simple combo box with two options - elective and emergency. They are set up on a continuous form.
When i try to choose a value it comes up with the message "You cannot assign a value to this object". I have checked the three criteria it mentions, object being on a form open in design view (no), value too large for field (no - text field with (defaulted) size of 50), control on a read -only form (no, form is editable).
The strange thing is as soon as you clear the error message box it lets you enter the value anyway.
Any ideas?

Assign Default Values

May 16, 2006

Hi, in my database I have a 7 subforms that shows fields for daily tasks for each day of the week. On the Monday, the tasks are assigned and then stored for every record for the corresponding date. The process is done again on tuesday, then wednesday etc. However, often the daily tasks for say tuesday will be very similar (sometimes the same) to that of monday's.

Therefore is there a way to set the default values for each day as the previous days tasks and then alter them if needed?

Thanks for helping!:o

Error - You Can't Assign A Value To This Object

Jul 7, 2006

I have searched the forums and I don't see this problem. I have a split database. When I test it it works fine. It resides on a network drives and permissions have been checked. When users try it they get an error message that says "you can't assign a value to this object". This occurs after they have selected a project and the user form opens. The user form appears blank.

I have gone to other offices and if I am signed on to their machines it works but if they are the message comes up. I'm at a complete loss and need some advice. It's probably as plain as the nose on my face but I've been struggling for days.

By the way - I used to be Mrs.Meeker...I haven't been around for a long time.

Assign A Record To A Table

Dec 6, 2006

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having with a form...

I have 2 tables, one called 'dept' and the other called 'employee.' These tables have a one-to-many relationship; basically, one department to many employees.

Instead of using a combo box, how do I assign an employee (employee_table) to a department (dept_table) by simply selecting a checkbox on a tabular (employee) form and the record is automatically added to the dept table?

I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!!!

Queries :: Assign Value Of Row Counter?

Oct 1, 2013

I have an export query that has number of distribution and CM distribution for invoices generated. The objective is to count the number of invoices based on the account number for each customer ID. Since the table has no primary key, the I assigned field number of distribution to 0 in hopes the counter will assign the value of the row number. The attached file shows how the current export displays and how it should display in the highlighted correct way section. I tried COUNT and DCOUNT methods which is the current setup, and they aren't working. This will eliminate the need to go into the file and change the 2 fields.
