Guys
I have a main form that I want users to populate before I reveal a sub-form. I've changed the 'visible' property to 'no' on the subform so it doesn't show by default but can't make it re-appear when I want it to.
I've tried the forms!whereform.visible=true code and it tells me it can't find the form 'whereform'.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
I am trying to get a subform to be hidden when the value of a textbox (txtAllocationID) is empty but when a ID number appears I would like it to become visible again.This is what I have tried so far but doesn't seem to work:
Code:
Private Sub txtAllocationID_AfterUpdate()
If Me.txtAllocationID.Value >= 0 Then
Me.frmStockAllocated.Visible = True
Else
Me.frmStockAllocated.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
My allocation ID is a primary key so all auto number generated and only an integer.
Scenario: When I enter a stock ID of 121 and search I want the subform to remain hidden as there is no Allocation ID related to that Stock ID (see attachment tblAllocated). If I was to enter a stock ID of 122 I want the subform to become visible as the stock ID has a relation with the Allocation ID 6 and therefore the textbox txtAllocation ID would display '6' in it.
" Is it possible to toggle the visibility of a picture on a form's detail section for each row based on a query whether a certain condition is met? "
I have a form, which fetches data from a database and populates the content as a number of rows in the detail section.
For each row I want to test if a certain 'yes/no' condition is met on each query and the toggle the visibility on a picture that I have placed in the detail section.
I've tried seveal possible solutions now, like macros and VBA but haven't got it working.
Btw I'm using Access 2010
Hi!
I'm have a query with some fields but only one record. The values in the record depends on comboboxes in a form.
What the query is doing, is that is calculating percentage. So the problem is if you go from zero to something bigger than zero, then this this gives you an infinite value of percentage. I solved that by if it is a zero, then it's changed to null. Then the percentage will be zero.
What I want, or wonder, is if the value is zero, is it possible to to have a textbox or something "lightened up" in a form? What I mean is that if you do your choices in the comboboxes and this gives you a "bad zero" in the query then a text pops up and tells you that "the values are a little bit wrong" or something like that=)
More "shortly" said, can a texts visibility in a form depend on the value in a query?
Hope you understand what I'm trying to say...
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a table w/field: Number {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} I have a report based on the table containing:
1 field: Number, box A and box B.
I would like for the report to show Box B if Number > 5, else show Box A.
As one is typing in a field with a lookup wizard - dropdown list - is there anyway to see the list without clicking on the down arrow? Perhaps there is a choice somewhere in the program where dropdown menus for the lookup wizard can be made visible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a main form with several subforms within it. These subforms are navigation tabs. In the footer of the main form I have a textbox that I want to hide unless the 2nd tab is selected.
Details:
3 Tabs, 1 subnavigation subform, 3 tab indexes(0,1,2)
tab index 1 the textbox on the main form(parent) should be visible. tab index 0 and 2 the textbox should be hidden.
I was thinking I could do something like when tab index 1 is onFocus then textbox = visible and vice versa on the other tab indexes?

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'm having trouble with syntax for using VBA on a report in Access 2007. I need to some hide 3 text boxes if one of my fields is empty in a table. The table name is: 'ALM-RESP' with rows grouped by: 'TAG NAME' and the field I'm checking is: 'Rev 002 Author'. I've tried having a rectangle to cover it up but I'm having trouble using the IsNull command and setting the visibility of the rectangle. Here's my code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If IsNull([ALRM-RESP]![TAG NAME]![Rev 002 Author].Value) Then REV2BOX.Visible = False
End Sub
Basically I'm having trouble checking if the field is empty and then setting the visibility.
I have a form containing client demographics. One of the fields is the DateOfBirth. I would like to control the visibility of a subform based on this DateOfBirth field.
I have tried using the code below:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If DateOfBirth > 11 / 11 / 1994 Then subEligibility.Visible = False
End Sub
This works when the form is opened for the first record, but the visibility does not change as I scroll through the rest of the records.
I have a music database in which I keep track of my CDs and how many times I've listened to them. I have a report that uses grouping to show me the total listens for each artist for each year - the totals are in a group footer, with nothing in the detail section of the report. It looks something like this:
-------94-95-96-97-98-99-00-01-02-03-04-05-06-07-08-09-10-11-12-13-14
BAND1--00-00-00-01-13-04-03-00-01-00-01-03-10-16-04-04-01-00-01-03-00
BAND2--00-00-00-00-00-00-00-33-31-14-15-07-02-00-02-01-11-05-01-00-01
(The dashes are blank spaces.)
The first line is the column header showing years (last 2 digits for space reasons).
The second and subsequent lines are created in the group footer section, first is the artist name, then the Sum of listens for all titles by that artist in the year given ([Sum of Listens1994]).
This report works perfectly.
Here's what I want to do, and I can't get it to work:
In the above lines of data, let's say that the earliest title for BAND1 is from 1975, and the earliest title for BAND2 is from 2001. My yearly counts start in 1994. Therefore, there were listens for BAND1 prior to 1994, but there weren't any listens for BAND2 prior to 2001.
GOAL: Instead of showing "00" on the BAND2 line for years 1994-2000, I want them blank.
I've put a conditional format code in OnFormat for the group footer section, telling Access to turn visibility off for the text box control ([Sum of Listens1994] etc) if the [Earliest] field (which contains 2001) is greater than the year being displayed (1994 first, and so on). This, which seems like it should work, makes no difference. Oddly, if I put a F9 code break on the If statement, it never breaks, which makes me believe the code is never even being executed.
I do have prior experience with controlling field visibility in forms and reports, so the concepts aren't new to me. I feel like the big difference with this one is that it's in the group footer section rather than the detail section. [Access 2013]
This should be fairly easy - I'm probably thinking too hard today.
I want to display a Quantity text control (and the related label in the form header) when the Serial control = "Bulk" OR when the checkbox chkBulk = -1 (checked). I don't need to do both, just one of the above, as I still haven't decided the easiest way to approach this problem.
I need some way to check the value of the checkbox or Serial control in the AfterUpdate event, and set the visibility of the Quantity control to true/visible. It is currently set to not visible. I have experimented a bit with the iif in VB, but my VB skills are rather nonexistent - i can read and comprehend code, but I can't yet write it on my own.
This seems like a relatively easy one or two line procedure. Can anyone offer some advice or point me in the right direction?

Where can I find the Hex or RGB value for the blue colour that Access 2010 uses by default for buttons on forms? I need to change some buttons to yellow (I know the code for that) but later change them back to the previous shade of blue, which is shown in the Properties pane "Accent 1, Lighter 40%".
By clicking in the standard colors area at the bottom of the colour chooser I can find a very similar blue #D6DFEC but it doesn't look quite right. And the "accent" colour does not give me a Hex value.Is that "usual" blue even one colour? How can I reset a button to that style having changed it?
I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail
-Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed
-All fields are disabled and locked
-I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code

I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.

I am building a very comprehensive Membership Management Database with extremely useful facilities initiated by some 20 or 25 Queries..
The database includes 5 Tables which store data relevant to members, another which stores details of Interest Groups and a 3rd which stores which members are affiliated to which Group or Groups.
Currently the database is accessible only by a very limited number of persons and data can be entered/edited by only one person. The database, using Access 2010, is maintained on a desktop computer and synchronized to a copy on a Cloud.
My requirement is to permit some 50 Group Leaders to input/edit data on a Password protected Group Members Form such that that is the only element of the database that they can access. The Forms would have only 2 fields from which the user would select entries from drop down lists.
My query is ; is such a procedure feasible in principle and would I be correct in assuming that the user would require to have available a copy of Access.
I need to pull the calculated values from approximately 10 forms into another form. This is a summary form that should have all the totals pulled from the other forms.e.g. Form A has a textbox that reflects the sum of the amount. This is the total balance of form A.Form B, Form C, etc. all have a total Balance.Now, i need to pull all these totals into a summary form
-Form A Total Balance: x
-Form B Total balance: y, and so forth.
How and what is the best method to approach?I have tried using Forms![Formname]![Total] to get the data. This necessitates the need to hide all these forms and I ended up with blank forms, etc.Even so, the total sometimes appear and sometimes it does not. so it is very unstable.
I have a form "NewMetalF" that has three combo boxes. The first one is used to choose "Precious Metal" or "Base Metal". The second one shows all the metals based on the first combo box. When I open the form in form view alone the combo boxes work flawlessly. I run the form "NewMetalF" within another form "NewExternalPartF" by clicking a button "AddMetal". When the button is clicked "NewMetalF" opens. The first combo box is selected, and when the second combo box is clicked the error "Enter Paramater Value" "Forms!NewMetalF!cboPreciousOrBase".

I am creating a simple data entry form wherein the user will enter the product id and on change the product description and retail price must be displayed.

I am developing a small database for use in a multi-user environment: I have split the tables off and am testing with two copies of the front-end on different machines. All seems to work well except on one form.
On this form, the value of a bound control (exposed as a number of radio buttons) is used to make related controls on the form visible or invisible. I use the AfterUpdate event to trigger appropriate VBA code to accomplish this; it works well.
However if two users have the same form open at the same record (unlikely, but not impossible), and User A changes the value of the control via the radio buttons, Access will eventually propagate the change to User B's copy of the form but the AfterUpdate event will not be triggered and the form becomes inconsistent. I understand that events are only triggered when a user makes a change to a control; how can I be alerted when Access makes a change?
