The form is based on a query but still writes directly to the appropriate table.
In the header of the form I have a series of command buttons - new record, navigation buttons, and buttons to open new forms. None of them work at all.
I checked each button to be sure the On Click Events still had the right Event procedure, and they do.
for example, the command button to open the Cases form has the following VBA (generated form the button wizard.):
Private Sub cmdOpenCases_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenCases_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
When clicked, the button just blinks - nothing happens. I check to be sure the form isn't a popup and also closed it after clicking it to see if maybe frmCases had opened behind the current form for some reason. Nothing - it's not opening at all.
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
I am a newbie at Access and I am currently learning it for my job...I have a database going and I am wanting to do two things and I can not figure it out for the life of me.
Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
How do I make the command buttons on my form actually do something, the only one that attempts to work is "DELETE RECORD" the others dont do anything at all
I want to create a new database which has a startup form that has 4 command buttons.. My problem is that I want that every click of the command buttons will take me to the main switchboard of the other/different database.. How am I going to link those buttons to different databases?:confused:
I know how to change the color of the font of the command button, but saw nothing in properties on how to change the color of the button... is this at all possible. If you need a reason, it is for designing preference really.
hey, i have a form which uses one table only which is for purchases. it has 4 fields:
memberID: productID: quantity: date:
and then it has a button - "Add Another Purchase" which confirms the purchase.
However, I want the stock number in tblProducts to decrease by the quantity whenever that button is pressed. I have tried using MS visual basics to enter a code but i dont think he "Stock number" is recognised, as it is in a different table to the one i used for my form. (i have linked the two tables, however)
where there is add, edit, save and delete buttons.. and that the record cannot be edited unless the "Edit button" is clicked and the entry will only be saved when the "Save" button is clicked. i tried to search for sample databases, but it doesn't inlcude a sample of this. thank you so much...

I recently upgraded to Access 2007 from 2003. The upgrade was in June and went smoothly. I added a couple of drop down boxes to my form in August and that seemed to have gone fine as well. Suddenly, at least two weeks later, my form buttons are not working. I added the pathway to my database to the list of trusted locations. Everything I have read says this should work. This did not make a difference. I am able to edit forms, run queries and reports, and can add new records by entering data directly into tables but am not able to add new records, view details, close forms, or exit using my buttons/forms.
I'm running Access 2000 and want to use some different icons than available through Access on some command buttons. So far, I can only get it to accept bitmaps. This isn't a problem if bitmaps can have a transparency. I don't think they can though. Any suggestions?
I have a form listing clients. Each has a command button linking to another form with client details and other option. One the bottom of the form is an Add Client button. I want the user to only be able to add a max of 6 clients, and the buttons to these clients be invisible until the Add Client button is pressed and the information about the client is filled out. Then back on main form listing clients, the client name will appear with a command button that will link to client details. How can this be done? I've seen it done, but can't figure it out.
What I want to do it when the report is generated and opened in a preivew mode, I want to give the user the options to:Save the report, Print the report or Email the report. How can I add these three buttons to the report?
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'm having a problem trying to get some code to work that a member of this forum helped me with some years ago. Basically I have a form with a combobox that is used to select the user name and a textbox for the password to be entered. There are two different types of user, manager and clerk. The logon button must open the selection screen form but if the user is a clerk, then the delete client command button must be disabled.
I keep getting a 'Compile Error stating Block If without End If' and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
I'm also not sure what code I should be writing to disable the command button dependant on user.
I know this is not great security, but it's only going to be used as an interim solution for 4 people (none with access experience). Can anyone please explain to me why I'm getting the compile error and what code I would need to disable the command button on the form and where I would need to put it.
Many thanks.
Here is the code:
If Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then If Combo10.Column(3) = "Manager" Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen" ElseIf Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then If Combo10.Column(3) = "Clerk" Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen" End If Else Msgbox "Incorrect Password, try again" End if
Was woundering if the was a way to habdle multiple command buttons with one procedure. I have done a little VB.Net and I remember that you coud use one sub to handle multiple buttons using the handles key word. I was wondering if Access could do that. What I have is 37 command buttons named cmdView1 through cmdView37 all I really need is the number that prefixes the command buttons name. I know how to pull out the number but I can not figure out how to use only one sub procedure for all 37 buttons. Any help is appreciated.
Hi...total newbie here trying to get out of the blocks!
I want to be able to open forms with a button and filter in the process.
I have Customer details in a table I have Site details in a table I have Product details in a table
From my 'frmCustomer' I want to hit a comand button to open 'frmSite' and filter only the records related to that customer, then from my 'frmSites' hit a command button to open 'frmProducts' filterd by that site.
Is it possible to put a command button on a report? I can't do any kind of programming so only use the command button wizards. I'd like to have a button to click on in order to print or close the report, rather than use the menu bar. Is this possible, easily? Thanks very much.
Hi - I have another problem. I hope you can help me out on this one.
Right now, I have 3 toggle buttons to control the visibility of 3 subforms. However, I only want a single subform to show at any given time. So, if I were to select toggle 1 it should give me subform 1, and afterwards if I select toggle 2 it should give me subform 2 WITHOUT showing me toggle 1.
Is there anyway to get the toggle buttons to work with each other?
I have a form I use to search for clients when I hit a command button, using surname etc. I'd like a yes no button to pop up rather than the clunky ok button route I currently have. I'm a beginner with VBA and most this I've gleaned from internet.
If there are matching results, everything is fine. If there are no matching results, I've managed to get my desired messagebox come up by using the code below in the onload event of the resulting search results form, however the yes no buttons do nothing and the results form loads blank as though no records were found.
I'd like Yes to send users to the client input form, and No to return them to the search form.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "Do you want to add a new Client?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "No clients found" Select Case intanswer Case vbYes
I have an Access 2010 database with two tables and two forms. The tables are Organizations and People. Similarly, the forms are Organizations Entry Form and PeopleEntryForm. The People are linked to the Organizations table. Several people can be linked to the same organization.On my Organizations EntryForm, I created a command button to duplicate a record using the wizard. It works fine.
I did exactly the same thing on the PeopleEntryForm, but instead of copying the record, it creates a new blank record. I don't get any error messages. Is my problem due to the fact that the People table is linked to the Organizations table?
