is it possible to only have the last button visible on a continuous form?
example:
currently on my cont form, i have a series of fields and a submit button
for each record a submit button appears i only want the submit button to be visible on the latest record
can this be done?
or should i just move the button on to the main form?
Hi All,
I have to admit that I have been staring at this this problem for some time now and can't seem to solve it. Hopefully someone from this form will be able to help...
The attached jpeg of my continuos form has the "traditional" access #Name? error in it. The text box's contain the formula to sum each column they are under i.e: =sum([txtamount]) , =sum([txtFinalForecastCost]),
=sum([txtCostToGo]). They are located on the form footer section. If I delete the last text box the other two text box's sum ok, but all three generate the #Name? error. Any ideas on how to get around this so all three sum?
This continuos form is a sub form of the main form and the last column is a calculation of: Forecast - amount = CostToGo
Access 97
Thank you.
I have a list box on a continous form that dynamically pulls it's information by why of a query where a field in the query is equal to the value of a field on the form.
The problem is it only does it for the first record and every record after that has values based on the first record. Is it possible for the list box to show different values for each record or is there an alternative method of pulling the information.
Hello everybody,
I’m new here and I have a question for you..
Is it possible to place round buttons or oval buttons on your forms instead of the normal square ones?

I am working on modifying a database that has a register that shows all the relevent information from the main table.
There are date text boxes as follows, for each record:
Short Term Date, Changed Short Term date
Long Term Date, Changed Long Term Date
Evidence Target Date, Changed Evidence Target Date
I have attached a pic of the register form. It's a bit messy, because I wanted to get all the relevent data on the register before I started playing with it.
What I am trying to do is display only the latest date as detailed below:
If [CxdShortTgtDate] > [ShortTgtDate] Then
txtShortAction.Visible = False
txtCxdShortAction.Visible = True
End If
Doing this hides every Short Term Action Date for every record and not for each single row. The idea is to eventually layer each date on top of each other and display only the latest date.
I am still a novice with VBA, though I have learnt quite a lot off my own back and I am pleased with the results. I would be very pleased if one of you gurus out there can put me in the right direction.
Cheers
Dave
I have a form which is set to display continuous forms - just like a table but a bit nicer to look at! is it possible to make the forms height vary depending on how many records there are?
thanks in advance!

Is this possible? I can't seem to find this q anywhere here so I thought I'd post.
I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.
:confused:

I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
I have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.
Hello
I have created a form in Access 2003 based on a query, the form has a sub form( basically the form shows different projects, the sub form shows the stages of the project, one project can have many different stages). I want to put a command button to add a new record for the data in a sub form, I have managed to create one for the main form, but not the sub form.
I would appreciate any help, thanks

Your question is a bit sparse. Care to give us just a LITTLE bit more of an explanation?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello everyone,
Ran into a problem trying to disable a forms min/max/close menu.
I'm trying to disable the forms close button I.e X on top of the form. I'd like to keep the min & max there so I've been trying to use the following.
Me.CloseButton=False
I get "You cannot set a value to this" error. Also tried Me.Closebutton.Enabled=False and get errors.
Anyone have a bit of code on how to do this or at least explain what I'm doing wrong here?
Thx.

I have a Access program that I have used for 10 years with out problems. The program is used to track work done for various customers. When I try to go to a new record for the customer using the New Record Button on my form, the program stopped and I got a Microsoft error saying it had encountered an error and needs to close. No error Number shown. I can use the Last Record button with out problems, but when I hit Next Record i.e. new record, again I get kicked out. I have tried to trap the Error Number with no luck. I have purged a lot of early records thinking possible the data base was to large - no luck. I am at a lost for what I need to do to be able to use the data entry form.
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a frmUserLoginScreen that opens frmMainSelectionScreen, which has 4 command buttons on it. Dependant on user level, some of the command buttons are disabled.
I have four user groups, manager, admin, IT and guest. When the guest logs on, the frmMainSelectionScreen only has one command button enabled. Once clicked, this opens frmClientDetails which has a command button that enables the user to add a record.
Basically, I want the add record command button to be disabled on the frmClientDetails if the user is a guest.
I've tried all sorts of code to reference the other forms but I'm not having any luck. Has any kind fellow got any ideas?
Thanks
Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone can help me with this.
I have a form based on a query that has 16 options for values in one of the fields. I wanted to put an option button for each value on a form that would allow the user to view the records based on which option buttons were selected and have the form update accordingly.
The way I've gone about it is to have some code in the after_update event thingimy of each option button that updates a boolean value in a table that's linked to the underlying query the form is based on - but this just seems a long way to go about this... plus it's not working...
I've searched the archives for clues on this but haven't come up with anything. So I just wondered, is there a better way than what I'm doing. I'm not after somebody to do this for me, just point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Peter
Hi All
I have a main form which displays some basic info aboute a site. I would like to be able to place multiple buttons down the right side of the form. This would be similar to having a seperate column which is not affected by the number of records on show. I have considered placing them in the form header but think a column down the side would look much neater.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a form named Welcome which I want to use as search menu for my database.
I have added 4 option buttons and a unique textbox into which users will write their query criteria.
My database has 4 queries and each option button should refer to one of them once selected
Obviously I will need a command button that will run the query.
Any help or code to do this? Thanks.
I would like to be able to use several control buttons to change the sorting order of the selected records on a form. The only way I have been able to do it so far is with a macro "go to control" and then using the Sorting Icons on the menu. Grateful for any help
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to have 3 buttons on a form. When clicking Button1, Button2 and Button3 should be shown and Button1 hidden. When clicking Button3, Button2 and Button3 should be hidden and Button1 shown.
How can I do this when it is not possible to manage the object being clicked? I tried the following which did not work because of managing an object clicked is not allowed.
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click()
Button1.Visible = False

Is it possible to use buttons to navigate attachments

We recently put together a database for a call center. The file is located on a public drive, and all users seem to be able to access the file (at the same time) and input new information.
On one particular form, I've found an interesting problem: I've placed a button at the bottom of the form, which will go to a new record when clicked. The command to go to a new record is clearly in the OnClick event, however users in the call center have to click twice in order to execute the code. I don't have to.
We're using the same form, in the same file, opened with the same version of Access.
What's wrong with this database?
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Double-Clicking,

Hi folks,
I've got two control buttons ('OK' and 'Cancel') on several forms. They work on the forms in Single Form view, but not on the one form that is in Continuous Form view. I couldn't find any mention of this behavior on this forum, but on another forum somebody mentioned that Continuous Form view makes control buttons do odd things. Any ideas on how to handle this?
Here's the code:
Private Sub OK_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_OK_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Me.Visible = False
Exit_OK_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_OK_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_OK_Click
End Sub
Private Sub Cancel_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Glossary"
End Sub
