Disable Input Controls Until Edit/update
Jul 27, 2006
Hi all,
I have a form that displays fields from two tables. I have set the properties of Allow Edit, Allow Additions, Allow Update, Data Entry to NO. However I want to allow users to be able to add new, edit/update and delete records from the form by clicking on respective command buttons.
the problem is that the code that I am using is giving me errors that says that I "You cannot go to the specified field" I need help on proper VB code to use that will allow me to enable input and update on the records in the table.
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Me.Location_ID.Locked = False
Me.Location_Parent.Locked = False
Me.Zone.Locked = False
Me.Description.Locked = False
Me.Child12.Locked = False
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
Dont know if that makes any sense, but I want to add a new record and i get errors
Neeeeeed some help ASAP....

I would like to disable editing in a text box once the information has been entered initially, but would like to be able to turn editing back on by double clicking the text box label. This is to be used for a database I'm creating for truck fleet management. Any ideas??

Hello. I have a form with a million little buttons on it (don't get me started, I didn't design it! - heh)...
Depending upon which user is running the mdb, I would like all but 16 (of the 80 or so) objects/controls disabled/enabled. I would like to autodisable all the controls, then enable the subset (or all of them) depending who the current user is.
SO in short, other than individually disabling/enabling the many items, is there a magic command for vba, similar to enable *.* for controls [silly e.g., but I hope you get my point...]
Thoughts!
Thanks!

I want to disable in VBA (.enabled = false) a lot of controlls, depending of some conditions. Is it possible to group (and having an unique name)these controlls to disable them all together at the same time.

My membership database has worked fine until recently. Now I cannot save inserted data. On attempted saving "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit" appears.
The problem. relates to 2 tables Member and Addresses. PK in the parent table Member is ID. In the Addresses Table the FK is ID. There is a One to One relation between the tables and Referential Integrity is set. I know 1 to 1 is not good but it worked fine in this small database.
Browsing the all of the existing records is fine.

What's the best way to lock down form controls after the user has entered data into them? I will have a button that reads "Save Record" that will make it so the records cannot be accidentally (or intentionally) changed after the button is clicked.

I'm using I have a secondary control being populated by an entry from another control. I was able to find the code I needed to do this using a combo box here in this forum.
me.txtDependent=me.cboPrimary.column(#)
(specifics changed to protect my company's paranoid view of privacy)
the code itself was showing up in the secondary control instead of any value. I found though that moving the code from the On Change event for the primary control to the On Current event for the form itself everything is working beautifully.
However, I have a different task now that I need to be able to accomplish with the same two tables but in the opposite direction. I suspect that I'm going to need to create a second set of controls and maybe even a second relationship or table to do this. To use a set of specifics that I think will get this point across, if I had a master table which includes a field for "City" and a secondary table, CityState, which contains both "City" and "State", and two controls, a combo box cboCityState to look up the specific City and a text box, txtState to display the State, putting the following code in the City combo box's On Change event populates a text box with the State when the specific City is selected, or putting it in the form's On Current event will be sure that State shows up in all the copies of a form when the form is used in a search and the City is not changed :
me.txtState=me.cboCityState.column(2)
What I need to do now is to set up a control which allows me to type in the State and have the results show all records that include that State.
I'm using this in a Filter by Form environment. I know the objections to this method and the benefits to creating a dedicated search form, but this method appears to be working well in all other ways for us for now. I have several situations within this form where I have one control showing up at the initial load of the form and at the beginning of the filtering process, allowing selection of multiple values from a long list of values in a list box, for instance, (using the On Filter event) and other controls showing up as a result of the filtering process, to display the selected criteria only, for instance (using the On Apply Filter event), so I'm aware of how to make this work if that's required. I'm thinking I may need to create a second control, something like txtStateInput, to accept the State search criteria and another, something like txtCityResults, to show the cities that are part of the resultant records.

I get an error "update or cancel update without add new or edit" which seems to point to this code.I am using MS Access 2010.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Store when record was last modified and by who.
'Initially stores when the record was entered.
If Me.NewRecord = True Then Exit Sub 'Exit if new record
Me.DateLastModified.Value = Now()
Me.LastModifiedBy.Value = getUser()
End Sub

Hello,
I have been playing around to see if it is possible to operate a combo box as a one shot operation.
I.e you make a selection from the combo box then the combo box is disabled.
Only prob is that I can't figure out how to do it.
Possibly by using a message box to see if selection is correct, if Ok clicked
then data entered and comboboc.enabled = false?
Or can this not be done.

Hi!
I have two tables:
Network_Element
NE_Data
The second one is a "child" table for Network_Element.
For these tables I've created two forms: 01_NE and 02_Data, which is a subform for 01_NE.
The procedure of data completion is this:
1. Choose Network Element
2. Open NE_Data for this element (here opens the NE_Data with a filter for this element)
3. View record or add new
The NE_Data record consists of date, number, NE_number, port_number_old, port_number_delta and port_number_new fields.
Now if I add new record, I want NE_number field to fill automaticly with a value of last record (NE_number of current Network Element).
Second "wish" :-) has to do with port_number_x fields.
After creating new record, port_number_old should be filled with port_number_new from previous record and port_number_new should be a sum of port_number_old and port_number_delta, wich user will complete.
Hope it's not very complicated :-D
Big thanks for any help...

Hi,
Newbie needing a shove in the right direction. My option group will be confusing for a user because it defaults to the Male selection
of the Male / Female option. In other words, as the user views the form to scroll through the records, the option button will always be at the Male selection, regardless of what was originally selected to update the table field. Is it possible to hide the option group once it has been used to input that record, or, have it display the correct selection for that particular record?

I have a form from a query.
In this form i have a Combo Box and a Text Box.
What i want to do is select a value from in the Combo Box and get the corresponding value in the Text Box
Ex:
(Combo Box) (Text Box)
BillNumber CustomerName
I have tried to put an Event Procedure on the AfterUpdate (or OnChange) of the Combo Box, and i wrote in it:
------------------------
Private Sub COFNumber_Change()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object
If Me![BillNumber] <> Null And Me![BillNumber] <> " " Then:
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone:
rs.FindFirst "[Bill Table_CustomerName] = '" & Me![BillNumber] & "'":
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
-------------------------
I try the form, and i get the following message:
"Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit"
I dont know what this means, and i dont know how to get it working.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance.

I am building a very comprehensive Membership Management Database with extremely useful facilities initiated by some 20 or 25 Queries..
The database includes 5 Tables which store data relevant to members, another which stores details of Interest Groups and a 3rd which stores which members are affiliated to which Group or Groups.
Currently the database is accessible only by a very limited number of persons and data can be entered/edited by only one person. The database, using Access 2010, is maintained on a desktop computer and synchronized to a copy on a Cloud.
My requirement is to permit some 50 Group Leaders to input/edit data on a Password protected Group Members Form such that that is the only element of the database that they can access. The Forms would have only 2 fields from which the user would select entries from drop down lists.
My query is ; is such a procedure feasible in principle and would I be correct in assuming that the user would require to have available a copy of Access.

PROCESS AS DESIGNED: The user logs in and is given a form displaying existing records that are coded (by userid) for that user to update. From that list, the user selects a record and continues to a second form (the first form closes) which displays all the fields of the selected record which should/can be edited by the user (plus a few non-editable key fields). There is nothing tricky to how the records are selected for display. A simple query behind the first form selects data records using the userID number. The second form does a simple record select using the active record ID number on the first form. Nothing tricky -- no modules just queries, tables, forms and simple macros to string it all together.
The user can open/close these two forms as often as necessary and the record will continue to show up until a value is entered into a "completion date" field. When that field is no longer blank, the record will no longer be displayed for use.
PROBLEM: About 90% of the time, things work as expected. But 10-15% of the time, somewhere between opening the record in the second form and closing the second form, the edited record totally disappears (as if it were never opened, it isn't even system date stamped) and the input information is inserted instead into a brand new record.
Users can sometimes tell when the edit record is dropped during processing, because key fields displaying previously entered data go blank and the displayed recordID (autonumber) is changed. p>
ERROR PATTERN: NONE! It can happen as the edit record is first opening, in the middle of editing the form, or at the end when closing the form. It will happen on a specific PC 2 times in a row and the third time be fine. It has happened at multiple locations but not for all people and not consistently for the same person/same pc. The same record that failed can be re-selected and work just fine the next time.
I cannot reproduce the error myself. I have tested everything I can think of without causing the error. I can lose changes and avoid a system date stamp if I abort my Access sesssion, but that doesn't create/insert a new record with my new input. It just loses everything.
I have wondered if a momentary break in the network/communications could break the connection to the application to just enough that the form remains on the screen, but selected record is discarded. Input into the empty form would/does insert a new record.
I have asked the IT Operations group to investigate if a network/communication problem could be the culprit, but they haven't gotten far on this. I have never seen this happen before and am totally stumped but am desperate to resolve it before user confidence is damaged.

I have a main form and 2 subform. The first subform has a field for %. And the 2nd subform has series of checkbox (Checklist or error made by the student)
Because every checkbox will lower the mark from 100 to x points per checkbox.So, I want that, if the field is not set to 100 yet, then they will not be able to check any box in the subform.I tried, before update of the subform, etc, but none work properly.

I have a couple of drop down menus on a form i have designed which have values which are dependent on another drop down.
So, for example, when i select USA in country, the US$, appears in my currency box but i have to select US$ from the drop down when i want it to appear automatically.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Cheers
Also, i have a calcualtion attached to a text box:
[Text87] = (1 / [List93]) * [Combo85]
However, the calculation will not be performed, even on click, until [List93] has been clicked on. [List93] is a constant value and is a hidden field so how can i make access perform the calculation without clickin [List93]
Many thanks in advance
Cheers again

I'm working on a code that checks all blank/null text fields and combo boxes in a form and notifies the user if a field is not filled. The code below works if all fields are required, but I can't use it on forms that have fields that are not really mandatory. I've read somewhere on the net to use tags on the controls i want to skip checking, but that's where i get lost.
Code:
Dim stdResponse As Variant
Dim ctl As Control
' Enumerate Controls collection.
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
' Check to see if control is text box
[Code] .....

I wrote the following statements to update a SQL server database:
Dim MyDb As Database
Dim MyRs As Recordset
Set MyDb = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("AMD", dbDriverPrompt, False, "ODBC;DATABASE=AMD;DSN=Remote")
Set MyRs = MyDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT AllAttendanceEvents.* FROM AllAttendanceEvents ORDER BY AllAttendanceEvents.EntryTime DESC")
MyRs.MoveFirst
While Not MyRs.EOF
MyVal = MyRs!EntryTime
Debug.Print MyVal
MyRs.Edit
MyRs!Ix = 50099
MyRs.Update
MyRs.MoveNext
Wend
When it execute the red line statement, it generates the error:Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
This error is generated isnpite that I already checked the boxes: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE in the Permissions page of the tables?
Please advise.

We receive hundreds of items at the time capturing the item barcode and the userID. I want to improve the process capturing the UserID once and updated the table with this entry on all empty records on the table. I have created the following script but I doesn't work.

Dim strSQL As String
Dim strUser As String
strUser = InputBox("Scan your badge")
strSQL = "UPDATE " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & " SET " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & _
"." & UserID & "='" & strUser & "' WHERE ([" & tblGER_ReceivingLog & "]. & UserID & is null);"

My form contains the field Bill_Date, which may or may not be input during data entry. What I need is to run a query (I think) that allows me to input a specific date that will automatically populate all Bill_Date fields that are currently null with the date specified. Eventually this will end up on the front end where a biller will click on a link when they open the db, input the date into the field, and then process another report.
I have absolutely no idea how to even begin and was not able to locate any specific information in Help or here on the forum.
Many thanks.

I exported about 190,000 records (about half of all records in the table) from Access DB to Excel. I then updated two fields (that were previously blank on the database) on the Excel sheet with values. What is the easiest way to import these new values back into the database table so that the records receive their respective values?

I have a form in my front end database that is supposed to allow a user to search for a record based on account number and then make changes to the that record and for it to save in the back end database. I have the search function working where it populates different input boxes on the form with what is stored in the back end database but I cannot get the update function to work. I have tried to assign each input box with a variable and then run an Update SQL function to update each of the fields but the updates are not storing. Any example of a successful update statement that uses VBA variables in it or a way to update a specific record via a recordset type function?
