Yes/no Checkbox How To Default To Yes
Aug 22, 2005
Be gentle with me, for I am new, I can't write code, my database is all done by macros etc.
I have created a subform which incudes a yes/no checkbox. I want this to default to 'checked'. The subform is used to record an audit of the position of valves. It is based on a query combining two tables, one containing valve details and the other the results of the audit. I have set the default value for this field as '-1' in the audit results table, and also in the subform checkbox field.
However whenever the query is run, the subform contains a list of valves with thier checkboxes stubbornly unchecked. How can I make the query return a list of valves with the checkbox ticked?
Thanks
Richard

I've got a form (frmEdit) that allows users to search tblMain for records using a bunch of unbound controls and a dynamically created SQL statement. Search results are displayed in a subform (subMain), and the current record in the subform is displayed in a set of bound controls on frmEdit.
Now the important bit: There is a set of unbound checkboxes on my form that allow the user to change which fields are visible in subMain. This is accomplished by the following:
Code:
Private Sub chkName_AfterUpdate()
If Me.chkName = 0 Then
Me.subMain.Form.CorrespondingField.ColumnHidden = True
Else
Me.subMain.Form.CorrespondingField.ColumnHidden = False
End If
End Sub
Certain fields are visible by default, but the user may want to change which fields those are. Here's what I've done so far to accomplish this:
Created a button (btnChangeDefaults) that opens a form (frmChangeDefaults)
Put checkboxes for each table field on frmChangeDefaults
Put a "Cancel" button (btnCancel)* and "Done" button (btnDone)** on frmChangeDefaults.
*btnCancel just closes frmChangeDefaults without making any changes to frmChangeDefaults or frmEdit
**btnDone changes Forms.frmEdit.Form.chkName.DefaultValue to Me.CorrespondingCheckBox.Value and then closes frmChangeDefaults
This all seems to work quite well, actually. Debugging confirms that the default values of the checkboxes on frmEdit are indeed changed when I click btnDone. But when I close frmEdit and re-open it, the default values return to what they were prior. This happens even when:
I close frmEdit using DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmEdit", acSaveYes
I close frmEdit after using DoCmd.Save acForm, "FrmEdit"
I save frmEdit manually by right-clicking and pressing save
What am I missing here?

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

Hello all,
How do I write a QBF query such that when a check box on the form is clicked, the name of query runs based on the name of that checkbox.
I have a form called, QBF_Form, which has a series of checkboxes. Each checkbox has a name. I have a table, "Type", and I would like to run a query based on the information on the form, ie. when I click a check box, the query gets the name of the check box and runs the information based on that.I know the basic qbf is:
[Type] Like [Forms]![QBF_Form]![Type] & "*" Or [Forms]![QBF_Form]![Type] Is Null
But I don't know how this would work if I have a check box for values in field "Type" in my table.
Thanks for your help!

Iwant to suppress the message "The macro or function set to the Beforeupdate or ValidationRule property for this field is preventing Microsoft Access from saving the data in the field".
The message is correct-Iwant to prevent updating the checkbox if certain conditions aren't met.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I do NOT want to create one field for check mark in the table. I just want to make temporary checkbox to select the record in the continuous form.
But, When I put a check mark on one record, the check marks are shown on all records in the continuous form.
How can I fix it?

I installed Microsoft Office 2003 on my computer. It asks me to register the product otherwise not all functions will work properly. I was curious so I didn't register it and started an Ms Access Application. Interestingly, when I clicked on a checkbox in a form , nothing happened.
After registering the product and going back in to the mdb the checkbox worked just fine.
Any one ever seen this before or know what causes that?
Thanks

hey all, i have a supplier table (Supplier), that has a yes/no check box column field depending if they are active or not. About 200 suppliers in all, many of which not active.
I want to be able to automatically set the active field to True within the supplier table depending on the condition that records exist in my delivery schedule table (Schedule)
SO for instance if a supplier name "Power" exist in my delivery schedule, then i want supplier "Power" in the supplier table to be checked i.e True. I guess some form of dlookup is needed here, but not im not sure where to start. Any help appreciated!

I have a standard Select query with various fields, three of which are:
- Quantity Ordered (number)
- Quantity Delivered (number)
- Short Delivery (checkbox)
Basically I want the check box to be checked if the qty ordered value is greater than the qty delivered.
I have this code in the criteria of the Short Delivery Field and it does not work
IIf([1A-Quantity Ordered]>[1B-Quantity Received],1,0)
Can anyone give me any pointers, also should I be using an Append or Update query?

Hi, Im trying to build query that filters my recors by checkbox value in form.
I have field id_reason with numeric values, my idea is that when checkbox1 = 1, id_reason is filtred by value 11, when checkbox1 = 0, id_reason <> 11.
i tryed this formula as criteria in design grid:
IIf([forms]![form1]![check1]=1;[id_reason]=11;[id_reason]<>11)
but IIF is not operator, so it doesnt work...
Can anyone help with this one? :cool:
tnx

Greetings to everyone,
I've been looking through the forum for this, but I've only found how to add/count checkboxes in queries, and how to make a query based on checkboxes...what I need is to add a checkbox to every result on a query, I need this in order to add the ticked items to a record table, this is, the ticked items are accomplished tasks and therefore need to be registered (in the table) and the unticked tasks weren't accomplished and therefore shouldn't be added to the registry (table). Can anyone tell me just how to add the checkbox to the query?
I would thank any help on this.

I think this should be a simple question, but I just cannot figure it out. I have a form which contains a check box. I want to set the value of a field in a table to 0 if the box is unchecked and 1 if the box is checked.
How can I do this
:confused:
Thanks

I have a form with a checkbox field. When the checkbox = true I want a popup box that asks for additional information (data to go to the same underlying table or as a sub-table).
I am able to get the popup box to activate via code in the After Update
If Me.SP = True Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSponsorshipDetails", acnormal, "", "", , acNormalWindow
End If
End Sub
Two problems seem to occur with this.
1. Records are not synchronised ie subform always defaults to record 1
2. Once I've closed the sub-form and try to create a new record I get an
error msg stating that someone else has made changes to record.
I have identical ID fields in both forms - how do I get the forms to link and work together?
Or must I use a sub-form? If so is there any way to make the sub-form a pop-up box?
As ever, am slow to grasp the complexities of coding *sigh*

Hi,
Updating a single Yes/No field to show if the record should be visible.
Have a continuous form with a bound checkbox to supply the new value.
OnClick event for the displayed data innitiates an immediate table update.
Values were not updating.
The problem:
However stepping through the onclick procedure in debug window shows that irrispective of the state of the checkbox checked/unchecked the value is 0.
After trace the the state is always as it should be.
Any thoughts chaps? :)

Hello,
I ve got a big problem:) What i am trying to do is CRM , this crm has some informations about the companys. ----->
I have form where are all the informations about companys entered by users of CRM. One of the informations is size of the company. What i did is that i have put three check boxes ( small , middle, large ) and bound them with the main table company ( companyID, companysmall ( YES/NO ), companymiddle(YES/NO), companylarge ( YES/NO ), companyfax, ... ).
When you mark the check box ther is an yes in table for a size of company and no for the other two options.
What i would like to do is to create another form where i could filter companys by ther size. But the tricky part is, that i would like to filter with check box so that i can filtr for example small and large companys at same time.
How can i do this - can you help me - mabe some examples.
Thank you,
Luka
