Command Button To Perform Popup Action

Aug 29, 2005

Hello,

I am having trouble making a command button do what I want. I have a subform within my form, but I only want it to appear when I click the button. I tried using the wizard but there is no option to open subform, only open form. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Forms :: Copy Record Button - Command Or Action Isn't Available?

Jan 13, 2014

I've rebooted my copy record button and just used the macro wizard for now, it seems to work as far as I can tell but there is something strange about it.

I've added in some text boxes so I've got some confirmation, but when I click this copy button I get the following error;

"The command or action 'RecordsGoToNew' isn't available now."

Perform An Action On Each Record In A Table In Turn

May 30, 2006

OK, usually I can figure these things out for myself, but I'm realy stuck on this one and any help would be appreciated

background: I work in a small scale pilot production line, and we take a series of measurements for every part that we make, each of which has a unique ID. Sometimes we need to take the measurements more than once, so that the data output from the measurement system (which it can append straight to an access table) has a part ID and a measurement number, the combination of which is unique (for reasons that I won't go into it is not possible to combine them into a single field, otherwise we would do this)

problem: The measurement system can be temperamental and sometimes sends the same record more than once, and It is horribly time consuming to go through and check manually
It occured to me that we could send the measurements to table1 (where they would be stored temporarily), and write a sub to go through each record in table1 in turn, compare the part ID and measurement number to the records stored in table2 (where they would be stored permanently), and append the record to table2 only if the part ID and measurement number combo has not already been taken, before moving onto the next record in table1 and doing the same thing

The part I just can't figure out is how to go through the records in turn and compare them, I can do the append and deletion using SQL, that's not a problem.

if anyone can point in the right direction I'd be realy grateful (or tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree completely)

regards
Bogzla

How To Disable Action Query Popup Messages

Aug 18, 2006

I'm told (via the non-helpful help system packaged with MsAccess) that the way to 'turn off' the helpful confirmation message related to an action query is under tools>Options>Edit/Find tab, and then uncheck the appropriate boxes.

I've done this. In fact, right now I have all three boxes unchecked which relate to confirmation messages (record changes, document changes, and action queries) - and I'm still having that same popup message every time I run the query, or have a report pull the query for me.

this wouldn't be more than just a hassle, except that one of the end users for this system isn't the most computer-savvy person in the whole world. In fact, I desperately need to "steve-proof" this system! I have this nightmare of being woken up at midnight because of this little glitch. any ideas how to disable that popup confirmation message for good??

Reports :: Open Report Action Was Canceled Popup

Nov 10, 2014

I use the following code in the On No Data event of a report:

Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "No data exists for the date range entered.", vbInformation, "No Data Alert"
Cancel = True
End Sub

This works fine to cancel the opening of the report however Ms Access annoyingly then pop-ups another alert that reads as follows:

"The OpenReport action was cancelled". There is no error number.

I've tried putting in a DoCmd.Close after Cancel = True however this doesn't do the job.

Any way to prevent the Ms Access pop-up from appearing?

The Command Or Action ApplyFilterSort Isn't Available Now.

Jun 17, 2005

I have created a search window that looks up certain invoicereport by invoice No. I have used this search method in other forms and has worked successfully!

However,
after I created the same thing for a report, I get this message: The Command or Action 'ApplyFilterSort' isn't available now.

I really don't understand the problem.
txtSearch = a textbox where user can type in any value to lookup a certain report.
rptInvoice = where I want the search to be placed.
fraSearch = an option group with (Starts with...,Contains...,Ends with..., Equals...)
InvoiceNo = the txtField in rptInvoice.

this is what I wrote for the cmdSearch button:

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_Click
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInvoiceno As String

' Check that the report is open
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "rptInvoice") <> acObjStateOpen Then
MsgBox "You must open the report first."
Exit Sub
End If
' Build InvoiceNo criteria string
If IsNull(Me.txtSearch.Value) Then
strInvoiceno = "Like '*'"
Else
Select Case Me.fraSearch.Value
Case 1
strInvoiceno = "Like '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 2
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 3
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
Case 4
strInvoiceno = "= '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
End Select
End If

' Build filter string
strFilter = "[invoiceNo] " & strInvoiceno

' Apply filter to report
With Reports![rptInvoice]
.Filter = strFilter
.FilterOn = True
End With


DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 2, , acMenuVer70

Exit_cmdSearch_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdSearch_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdSearch_Click

End Sub
----
Could anyone help me with this?

Forms :: Command Or Action Not Available Now

Jul 11, 2014

I have a form for users to be able to delete or edit records. I have 2 command buttons (Delete and Save), when I click on them I get this error "the command or action is not available now"... It was working fine before but for some reasons it stopped. Even two other buttons actioned by vba codes do not work (No message popping up for these 2)

I checked:
Allow Additions: Yes
Allow Deletions: Yes
Allow Edits: Yes

Nothing is blocked or locked.

I think it has to do with the query my form is based on, as I tried a dummy form based on a table and the button worked fine...? I tried re-creating query+form and no luck. I did remove a field from my query at some point this morning, not sure if this might be the cause of issue, as this field was not connected to anything in my form.

Modules & VBA :: Word Document Load When User Click Button And Perform Email Merge

Oct 7, 2013

I have a Word 2010 document linked to an Access 2010 data source. When a user clicks a button in Access, the Word document loads and performs a email merge using the below VBA code:

Private Sub Document_Open()
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToEmail
.SuppressBlankLines = True

[Code] ....

However, as the .mailsubject part is not in the loop it is only retrieving the first Return Code. I have tried to integrate in the loop to no avail. Also, how do I add static text to the Subject, I need something like "Your Return Code" + "Return Code"..

General :: Performing Multiple Database Action On Button

Jul 11, 2012

I am writing an application for my personal use. I have 2 Access databases, one contains the data tables and the other has the forms, queries, reports, etc.

So far, I have been able to use the queries in the Row Source property of my form objects to accomplish what I want to do. Now I want to have a button that appends records to a table, the data in the table comes from several different controls on my form. After doing this the button should requery another control to display the new records added.

The OnClick event for the button allows me to use a Macro builder, Expression builder or Code builder. If I choose to use DAO in VBA code to append the records, do I have to define the database to create a database object to use even though the database is already open? Can I use a Macro to do this? Can a macro reference the data that is in the controls on my form?

General :: Creating Invoice Button - Action Query Cannot Be Used As Row Source

Nov 29, 2013

I've created a simple database, with tables, forms etc but I've got stuck when I've tried to insert a 'Button' onto the HOME page which when pressed will display an invoice and give you the option of emailing to client or printing.

I think I've gotten messed up in my relationships or the macros which I've copied from another access template.

on the home screen, I click 'new quote' then 'view quote' when the window pops up and then when it tries to generate the invoice I get the error

'an action query cannot be used as a row source'.

I've put a copy of the database in my dropbox...

Forms :: Command Button To Unlock And Lock Fields / Edit Button?

Feb 19, 2014

I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.

SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.

I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...

Difference Between A Command Button And A 'label' Button

Aug 12, 2005

Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :


Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub

Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End

If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o

"The Command Or 'SaveRecord' Action Isn't Available Now"

Mar 7, 2006

Hi Folks,

No hits on a search of this site for this error. I think this is a security or corruption problem.

From the main dialogue form of my database some users get the "The command or 'SaveRecord' Action isn't available now." error when they try to run a report or perform an update. The report is launched by code which includes the SaveRecord command.

Everything operated correctly with the administrator logged in. The users have appropriate permissions to tables etc. However, I made some small modifications to the form and then the report / save would not run for the Administrator either.

Things I have tried to resolve this:

Giving users full permissions - same as adminstrator
Making new database and importing all items
removing security from back end


I also tried half a dozen other things of varying logic and relevance that didn't work either.

Anybody have any idea what is going on / how to procede?

Regards,

Keith.

Command Button To Set Value

Apr 20, 2006

I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!

I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.

Pseudo code would go something like this.

Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID



Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously)
Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table
OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order
SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Command Button?

Apr 26, 2005

I, unfortunately, have been singled out as the Access guru in my work area. We have 223 people and the Information Manager has tasked me to modify a database he "found" to be able to track a number of things, but most important to him: performance reports.

I have posted the sample of what I currently have. What is being asked of me is a way in which to have a button or by double-clicking a block where a date would go for all other dates on the form to become non-visible while the current date stored in the computer the database is being worked from be entered in the block where the button or double-click happened. All this links to a report for the IM to be able to track what performace reports are out, and when they are due back to his section. He also wants me to be able to show which are overdue and where they are at. I am not sure if it is at all possible, but with me having spend most of last week purusing the articles on Access here, I know now that nothing is implausible if you happen to go about it the right way.

Since I have read the rules on posting, here is what I have done. I searched the forum for command button and got a lot of really cool ideas to use elsewhere in the database. I looked up the help in the program itself for command button, and got some good information on how a command button works, but I cannot make it put a date into a block. I can enter the date in any block that is a date format, but then I have dates in every block. He only wants to see the most current date in any of the blocks.

Any assistance at this point would be appreciated. If I have missed something in another thread, I apologise in advance.
