1) I linked this module to a macro so that on clicking a button, the macro runs the module and closes it, but it's not working.
in my macro, I have open module: Reset
I also have clode module= Object: Module, Name: Reset
But this is not working
Using Access XP, I have a number of unbound combo boxes I use as search tools to locate specific records. Here is the code for one of them:
Private Sub Combo40_AfterUpdate() Me.JobNumber.SetFocus If Not IsNull(Me.Combo40) Then DoCmd.FindRecord Me.Combo40 End If End Sub
I think I need to add something along the lines of:
Me.Combo40.SetFocus Me.Combo40.Text = ""
To get it to clear the combo box after the FindRecord has executed. However, when I drop those 2 lines in either before or after the "End If", I get this:
"RunTime Error: 2115. The Macro or Function set to the BeforeUpdate Validation rule property for this field is preventing MS Access from saving the data in the field."
So, I hope this doesn't mean that you can't clear the combo box choice because it interferes with the FindRecord part of the code...Anyone know how to get the result I'm looking for? To define it clearly: I want the combo box selection area to clear the choice after the find record has succesfully completed. I don't want to clear the choices, just not show anything after a search completes.
Thanks in advance. I'm sure this one isn't that hard, but it is eluding me and I've only been doing access for about 3 months.
I have a listbox "lbxMP" that holds names of forms and a subform "ctrlMP" that opens selected form (ctrlMP.sourceobject = lbxMP). I also have some various master cbx that control criteria in each form. I am trying to create a button that will not only clear/null all the cbx values (which works fine), but I am having a hard time telling me.ctrlMP to go back to null or unbound (i want it to blank out the subform to make it look fresh). I have tried requry and also me.ctrlMP = null and ctrlMP=unbound with no luck.
I have a form, which is comprised of a sub form, and some of the text box controls sided with a button, and the event had been written to the button.
Now, to give a note on how had the sub form had been created is firstly taking a clone of the "Payments" table and using it as a datasheet, and then create a sub form in the form, it works fine
I have some code that looks like this to control a form;
Private Sub btnAdd_Click() Dim UserName As String Dim Initials As String Dim Password As String Dim OutlookName As String Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
'Check each control, is their a value? if not, set focus to control If IsNull(txtUserName) Then MsgBox "You did not enter a new UserName nobby!" Me!txtUserName.SetFocus Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtInitials) Then ' return value of UserName variable; MsgBox "You have not entered any initials for user: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'" Me!txtInitials.SetFocus Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtPassword) Then MsgBox "You must create a password for user: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'" Me!txtPassword.SetFocus Exit Sub
ElseIf IsNull(txtOutlookName) Then MsgBox "You must enter a Outlook name for: '" & Me!txtUserName & "'" Me!txtOutlookName.SetFocus Exit Sub
End If ' Pass the variables to the table. Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(("Users"), dbOpenDynaset, [dbSeeChanges]) With rst .AddNew ![User] = Me!txtUserName ![Password] = Me!txtPassword ![Initials] = Me!txtInitials ![OutlookName] = Me!txtOutlookName ![Level] = 1 ![Select] = 0 ![dummy] = Null .Update .Close Set rst = Nothing End With DoCmd.Close End Sub
Private Sub btnCancel_Click() ' Confirm Cancellation Box If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to quit?", vbYesNo, "Caution") = vbYes Then DoCmd.Close Else DoCmd.CancelEvent End If
End Sub
What I really want to do is once the update has occured is set a label I have as hidden, to show and to clear all the controls.
Thanks, Now I can populate text fields by selecting any one of the combo box selection.
But I need to clear the form to insert next record. Currently I am inserting record by using Save_cmd button. I can insert second record but couldnot clear all the fields after inserting automatically. So I am doing clear all the fields manually or overwriting values.
I have a SQL Database that is housing my tables I have an Access Front end that is Allowing users to view and edit the data residing on the SQL Database.
I have write/modify rights on the database and as such I wrote the code , OnLoad of Form, to Automatically set the Form to "Add Record", thus clearing all the TextBoxes and ComboBoxes. That works alright.
My problem is when a user without write/modify rights opens the Form I am getting an Error "Cannot go to specified Record". If I understand this right this is happening because they do not have suffeciant rights.
How Can I get a form to load and display all the textboxes and ComboBoxes BLANK....this only way I can think of is to set the form to Add Record.
I've developed a form where users enter and select information that will be stored in another table. Currently when I open the form, the information I entered from the previous use is still in the text and combo boxes. Is there a way to clear this information when the form is opened (so all boxes are blank)?
I searched the forum and couldn't find a thread to answer my question so here goes . . .
I have a form to lookup item number information. The user enters the item number and clicks on a "refresh" button to view information related to the item. Also the user can edit some of the fields using text boxes and a save command button.
I want to create a "clear" button which the user will click that will clear all of the data off the form before going to the next item. The form is bound to a table so I do not want to delete the data in the table, only clear the form. I have read that the form can be cleared by advancing to a new record. However, we do not want the user to create new records from this form. If you can tell me how to prevent the user from creating a new record, then the "advance to a new record" method could be a solution. I welcome any other ideas that you have to clear the form.
I'm trying to create a search form with drop down boxes to select criteria.
I would like a "Clear Form" button that removes any data on the form to start a new search with. I have the following command in an "on click" event. But when I use this, it does clear the form. But from then on out, I get no results from my form. Even submitting the form with every entry blank, I get no results, when I know I have data in the form. I verified with my tables that the data in them didn't get deleted by using the code to clear the form.
From what I know, this should only clear my form, not cause it to mess with results after it's used to clear the form once. I've even deleted this line of code from my database itself and I still get 0 responses back when I search.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or is there a better way to clear a form with a button to click on?
I have a search form where I enter a value and click on a command button. All records that correspond to that value are displayed (continuous form). Works fine.
However, when I exit the form and then go back in, the data from the previous search still populates the screen. The search value/field is blank, but all the previous records are still displayed. How can I clear those values everytime I enter the form (or exit the form) ?
Private Sub Job_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(DLookup("[Job Number]", "Job", "[Job Number]= " & Me.[Job Number] & " ")) Then MsgBox "Job Number doesn't exist Enter a job number that already exist." Me.[Job Number].Undo Cancel = True End If End Sub
It is not clearing the Job Number Field, and also it is not letting me to close the form without entering the Job number that already exist. If I try to close the form without entering the job number it gives me run time error " syntax error (missing operator) query expression '[Job Number] = '."
My data entry form has a button that allows the record to be saved. However, after saving the record, the form doesn't allow a new record to be added. The new form just sits there with the previously entered information in it. How do I go to a new record?
I designed a Data Entry interface. I wish the system can automatically clear all the values of controls in the form after users click the 'save' button.
Is there any good solution instead of manually setting each control's value to null?
I tried Undo method, but it didn't work on either control (textbox) or form itself.
After informations is entered and a button is clicked to submit the information I can use the back/up arrows and page up to see what was entered even though the form is cleared. Is there something in the properties of the button that is clicked to submit that will make it impossible to see the prior users data.
It is personal information that people do not want others to see but is a public sign in computer.
I'm having trouble getting my form to be "blank" except for the labels upon loading. I've tried putting in some code "on load" but it doesn't clear everything. I haven't had this trouble on some of my other db's, the only difference here is it's a switchboard. I don't know if that matters.
I have a timesheet form that pulls from a query that pulls from a table I want to clear my daily charges and reset back to the default value of 0 when my form opens ...
I am trying to create a command button that clears all the records in the Sub form in the CURRENT RECORD OF THE MAIN FORM. I know this sounds a little bit confusing, but I hope you understand!
The main form is: frmOrder2 The subform is: subfrmItemOrder
The fields in the subfrm that has to be cleared are:
I have a tabular form that is based on a select statement (Query) in the source property. It filters & sorts from this select statement. permanently
I have just added a Me.Filter = "[Form1].[InDate] = #" & MyValue & "# " Me.OrderBy = "Indate DESC"
This all works fine, filters & sorts on the existing results.However this new filter & sort seems to remain no matter what I do.I have used every variation one me.filter ="" with Me.FilterOn = True, False & every combination.
Me.Filter="" & Me.FilterOn = False does initially seem to clear the lsit to show all records but as soon as type anything that filters the Form on the original, existing underlying select statement the extra Filter Property & Sort properties are occupied with the last filter/sort.
I have manually deleted any remaining Filter Or Sort properties direct from design view, saved, compacted & saved again.Once I use the new me.filter it will always returned as soon an any filter on the form is applied.I definately am not setting it again anywhere. Is there something better than me.filter ="", seen clearallfilters mentioned but not sure if this would apply just to the current form but reluctant to use a blanket clear as I do have quite a lot of other things going on.
Not sure when but many months (If not years) ago my form source stopped being a query and started using the query (sql) direct from the source property.I have left it this way as not sure if any consequence of moving back but don't remember how or how it happened. What are the pros cons of using a separate query.
I have a search form that's slightly modified search form modeled after the one available here on this site. It's a main form with a list box. I use the listbox to narrow down the results I want from the search function.
The search details are shown in a sub form that contains sub-sub forms
As seen in the code below, I am using the listbox to set a filter on the subform . Works famously until I search for something that does not exist in the database. I then receive runtime error 3075.
I believe it's related to the way I'm showing the details in the subform (by enabling a filter). If there is no record in the database that match the search criteria, I don't want any error messages or pop-ups and preferably would like the listbox to be blank.
Attached a screenshot of my form. red = main form green = subform blue = sub-subforms tan = obscuring the search results
Code: Private Sub SearchFor_Change() Dim vSearchString As String vSearchString = SearchFor.Tex SrchText.Value = vSearchString Me.SearchResults.Requery
I have a parameter form I used to enter data for a query. I want it to clear any previous data entered when it opens. I have tried the below without success. I also have the fields defaults set as "" and the form set at yes on data entry.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.BldgCmb.Value = "" Me.StateCmb.Value = "" Me.CityCmb.Value = "" Me.AddCmb.Value = "" End Sub
