Hi there,
I know there have been a good number of questions about visibility in forms already but I couldn't find a solution to my problem (or maybe I just didn't get it).
Basically, I have a tabular form (more than one record displayed at once) and one the field is of the Yes/No type. For each record, I'd like to have a text box that displays 'pending', set as visible if the field value is 'Yes' and set as invisible if the field value is 'No'.
The table is as follows:
id : auto-number
Flag: Yes/No [Yes]
If I use the following code on the Flag button:
Private Sub Flag_AfterUpdate()
Me.pending2.Visible = Me.Flag.Value
End Sub
all the 'pending' text boxes appear and disappear together (instead of just the relevant one).
I thought of using another text box, with the same data source ('Flag') but which would set itself to visible or invisible wrt to its own value but I couldn't find a way to do it.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
and many thanks already for the forum and the contributions - it's been extremely helpful, esp. for a beginner.
Form name: TestForm
Combobox name: cboName
Names in combobox: Rick, John, Sarah
Feilds: Feild1 Feild2 Feild3
EDIT: The names in the combobox are coming from their own table, they were not manually put into the combobox.
Here is some pseudocode for what I kind of want to do...
[open TestForm]
if cboName = Rick
Field1.Visible = true
Field2.Visible = false
Field3.Visible = false
if cboName = John
Field1.Visible = false
Field2.Visible = true
Field3.Visible = false
if cboName = Sarah
Field1.Visible = false
Field2.Visible = false
Field3.Visible = true
I am trying to make a button on a form visible and invisible dependant on the contents of a field in my form, any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have tried searching a few threads, but can't get the answer or perhaps i'm tired. Anyway I have a YES/NO field and a command button. I want the button to be visible only if the yes field has been selected. No = invisible button.
Thanx
I was able to use coding for making controls visible or not in the attached database.
I have a main form with a tab control that has 3 tabs with subforms in them.
What I am not able to do is in the Tab Control I want the 3rd tab to be invisible and on the second tab where it says “May we go through the questions now?”, I have a check box. When that check box is checked I want the 3rd tab to become visible.
I am having problems figuring out this code to reference the Tab Control Page.
Do you have any suggestions?
I can attached the database if necessary.
I appreciate any help that you can give me.
I am trying to make a subform appear when a particular entry is selected from a list box. I did a test... no problem. In my real database... well, you know. Here's my code:
----
On my main form property:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
If Me![ProjectSubType] = "Commercial Chest" Then
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = True
Else
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = False
End If
End Sub
----
On my list box property:
Private Sub ProjectSubType_AfterUpdate()
If Me![ProjectSubType] = "Commercial Chest" Then
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = True
Else
Me![CommercialChestsSubForm].Visible = False
End If
End Sub
----
Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

My question is how can I make data in a form visible or invisible just by a button. In other words, if I have a group of buttons, based on the button selected I would want certain data to appear.
I know that this is possible, I have seen it done but just cannot find out how to do it or what this is called to look it up in Helps.
Thanks,

I need to have a subform that shows up smack dab in the middle of my main screen when visible - which is what I want - but only based on a specific value of a control on the main form. Specifically, if a control's value is "See Spreadsheet", I want the subform visible front and center as it contains the link to the server location for that specific record. If the control's value is not "See Spreadsheet", I want the form to be invisible.
My code:
If Me.BudgetsFacultyAccountNumber = "SEE SPREADSHEET" Then
Me.frmMsgBoxUpdateSpreadsheet.Form.Visible = True
Me.BudgetsFacultyServerLocation.Visible = True
Else:
Me.frmMsgBoxUpdateSpreadsheet.Form.Visible = False
Me.BudgetsFacultyServerLocation.Visible = False
End If
The red lines result in an MS VBA error: "Compile error: Method or data member not found."
I've tried referencing that subform a hundred different ways, but I can't get it to work.
I've accomplished some simpler things like hiding fields based on the data in another field but nothing very complex. To the point: I have a report that shows data in both rows and columns, the report has a 7 columns, 3 of which could or could not contain data other than zero, in which case the column is not displayed. The problem I have is that it could be any of those three at any given time depending on what data is available for that report and what the user wants to see. Basically, if a given company has no data regarding column "A", then column A is hidden, but the main grouping is done through rows so all companies contain at least 0 for all columns (what I did is that, if a field sums the whole column returns 0, then the column is not visible). What I need to get working is the second part of this, have the columns rearrange themselves depending on which column is hidden (it could be that all 3 are hidden). How could I make this work? (btw, autoshrink is not usefull for this since it only shrinks vertically, not horizontally).

Can a table be identified? Like Table 1. And can it be made invisible?
My company has a new database that we will use to track PTO (paid time off/vacation), including the submission/approval process. Not everyone should have access to the approval dashboard as that should be restricted to only managers. Everyone will have the same basic form so that they can see their PTO history, hours remaining to be used, etc.
What I want to do is have a button on the form that is visible only if the person is a manager. The button will open the PTO approval form. How can I make a button visible/invisible based on user access levels?
I am trying to improve my code by making it more readible. The following code works, but it is certainly not the most efficient way. I`m trying to write a loop to make certain elements in an Access report visible/invisible, but I can`t address the visibility property of these items while iterating over i.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "tblInterval subreport", acViewDesign, , , acHidden
Reports![tblInterval subreport]!BoxInsp1.Visible = False
Reports![tblInterval subreport]!BoxInsp2.Visible = False
Reports![tblInterval subreport]!BoxInsp3.Visible = False

Hello. In my table there is a checkbox column. This box is checked on a form which feeds the table. I run reports from queries which contain both checked results as well as unchecked results. Is it possible for on the report, for the text (the field name, not the checkbox) to only appear when the box is checked? I hope I'm explaining this properly. I want the checkbox title to only appear on the report when the box is checked, otherwise I don't want it visible.
Thanks for your help.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi.
I am using Access 97.
I have a problem with multi-conditional field showing or not.
Specifically:
I have 2 fields which can either be null, 0, or have a numeric value. These need to stay invisible to staff.
There are 2 other fields, also invisble in their properties setting, which need to become visible if both of the previous fields do not conain a value greater than or equal to 1.
Because these 4 fields are invisible by default, I put the following code in the settings for the 1st visible field in the form. I also tried it with when the form opens.
But it doesn't work or I get debug problems.
If (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E = 0) And (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E Is Null) And (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E_OS = 0) And (TOTAL___WAGE_RECORDS_E_OS Is Null) Then
Me!EMP_QUART_AFTER_EXIT_QUART.Visible = True
Me!EMP_QUART_AFTER_EXIT_QUART.Dropdown
End If
Please help.
Thanks!

I have a main form that has 2 subforms. I have a field on both forms that I have marked as "Visible="No". Both are text box controls and I have made sure that both the label and the text box itself are marked "Visible="No". In the first subform, it works correctly, while on the second one, it still displays.

I would like to have a checkbox be visible only if a textbox (Text246) has text in it.
Code:
