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...
I seen this awhile ago. And I was interested i knowing does anyone know where I can get an example of this. I saw what looked like a datasheet but on the right side of the datasheet there was an edit button. So every field on the datasheet had an edit button which opened up the specific row in a form layout. Can someone
I have a form with a text box using a mask edit. How would I go about "exiting" the form by pressing on a button?
DoCmd.Close will not override any incorrect entries in the textbox - Is there a way to "undo" anything in the textbox so that I can exit the form after clicking on the command button.
DoCmd.Close will only close the form if the entered data in the mask edit is either correct or there is not data. (An error pops up if there is incomplete data in the textbox).
I created a form called cptSearch On that form has a list box
What i want to do is when user clicks on cpt in list box and clicks on the edit command button it will open the frm called frmcpt so user can edit details for the specific cpt code
I am working on Data entry form where a user can enter the details in the form and save and go ahead, its a single form in default view. I want to provide an edit button with navigation control in this form only where they can edit their wrong record for update.
I'm making database using access 2013 web apps. Name field in the table same with username in office 365. I want to make the user can only edit the field that have their name on there.
I have created a form in Access 2010 that opens in view only mode. I do this as I do not want data being changed in error. There are times when the user may need to edit some data on the form.
Any way to place an "Edit" button on the form that allows the user to edit the current record? I thought about creating two sepasrate forms, but I really don't want to maintain two of them.
Hi all, I have a search form that pulls data from a query. The data is displayed in a subform. I would like the user to be able to edit the data from the subform. I have set all the allow properties to yes and it still doesn't work. Does this problem have anything to do with relationships.
Thanks to all, this forum has been a great help for me.
Hi, Have a main form with subform. Can udo edits on the main form and am trying to do the same for the subform and am having problems. Can someone correct my syntax for me please..........and maybe someday I'll get it!
Here's my code below....thanx.
Private Sub PDEditUndoBut_Click() On Error GoTo Err_PDEditUndoBut_Click
To make a long story short I have a command button that runs a query and opens a subform based on that query. I want to be able to update the records that are returned (via the subform) but I am getting an error - "This Recordset is not updateable". I've tried changing the recordset property to Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates) but that didn't seem to change anything.
In the form1 , I have a listbox1 with 2 columns. The values get added in the listbox using vba. Now I want to Edit the listbox values in case user enters something wrong. So when the user selects a listbox item and then EDIT button then form2 gets opened. And the textbox1 of it stores column1 of listbox1 value and textbox2 stores column 2 of listbox1 value. So the user canb make changes in the textbox values and then press SAVE button . Now I want the code that will make those changes in listbox1 of form1 and unload form2 then.
I have inherited a partially completed membership Access database which I understand was originally generated from a load of linked FoxPro tables. There is a form which uses multiple tabs, the first tab contains general membership data (ie name, age etc) and this pulls data through from the 'Main' table in the database. Each of the other tabs includes a subform which shows data held in a number of different tables linked to the 'Main' table (eg, first tab - general data from 'Main table', 2nd tab - home addreses from 'Home Address' table, 3rd tab - business addresses from 'Business Address' table). All tables are linked to the 'Main' table through a common 'RegisterID' field. When I open the form I can query on any of the records and amend and items of data on the various tabs them without any problem. However if I add a new record using the >* option from the record navigation I can add data to the first tab (ie. into the 'Main' table) but if I move to the 2nd or 3rd tab I am unable to edit/add data to the fields on those tabs. But if I save the record after completing the fields on the first tab and then close the form and reopen it I can then edit the 2nd and 3rd tabs, can you suggest how I can change the setup to allow editing/adding data to the 2nd and 3rd tabs without having to close the form and reopen it please. I have checked the subforms and they are set to AllowEdit and there are NoLocks.
I've created a form that contains two subforms. Subform1 is a datasheet, subform2 is a regular form containing a subform (subform3) of it's own which is a datasheet.
Subform2 is linked to display detail information based on subform1...which works fine. Subform3 is linked to subform2 displaying additional details. When I open the master form everything displays ok and subform3 displays the correct information, but when I click on one of the records to edit it the form refreshes about 5 times and then record 1 in subform3 gets selected. In other words, I am unable to select any other record except record 1 in subform3 and thus unable to edit the records.
I have subform3 set to allow edits, additons, deletions and when I open subform3 by iteself I am able to edit/add/delete just fine.
This would all work fine if I did not need to edit subform3...all the links work perfectly and display's correct information. I am stumped. I hope I am missing something obvious.
May be this is easy for your guys. I want to freeze or lock the mainform data fields while allowing users to input, edit, delete data on a subform. I tried to change mainform properties so it can not edit, add or delete data on mainform. By doing so, I cannot do anything with subform, it seem read only as well.
I have created a form (races) with a subform (yachts in a race) to edit data in joined tables. It seems to be working well but I am having difficulty selecting which record to edit in the main form. I can scroll through the records until i get to the correct race but this won't work well when there are a large number of races to choose from.
I can see that I can use linked forms to select a race from a multi form or datasheet and call up my desired form by a double click on the ID field. This should work but isn't really elegant with users scrolling down a long datasheet to select the race record they want to work with. Is there a better way?
Races are uniquely identified by 3 attributes: SeriesDivision, Date & RaceNumber.I have created an index in the Race table for these 3 fields which forces them to be unique.I would love to create an interactive routine which asks users to select from a list for each of these 3 attributes and then returns the form for editing with the appropriate race record selected or even cascading - users select a SeriesDivision can then choose the valid dates for the selected SeriesDivision and can then select the valid raceNumbers for the selected date
i've got a Form that contains Subform with an embedded Query that contains 2 tables only (Payments & Invoices) the Join properties between them show all records from payments and what matches it from Invoices where the joined fields are equal (Invoice no).. So, when i enter certain data in the main form the Subform show the results for it from Payments table and only one field needed from the Invoices table !!
The problem is.. i can't edit or add any data in the Subform results with the previous setting, but when i completely remove the Invoices table from the embedded Query then swift to the Form and it's Subform.. i become able to edit and add data in the Subform easily... !!
So, how to enable the edit/add in the Subform with the 2 tables in the embedded Query ?! Cause it's really needed to show that field from the Invoices table.
this works fine and i can search using a requery button
however as deptartments are stored in tbldepts
when i change the query to retrieve the dept name instead of number directly from the table and i try to change this on the datasheet subform it changes it in tbldepts instead?
how can i change what dept the employee is in (as in change the number in tblemployee - but display the actual name?)
I've got a form including a subform in datasheet view. I get rid of the defaulted scroll bars and navigation icons provided in the subform.
Now, I added my own buttons in the footer section to manage records in my subform ; by checking the forum, I understood that the items put in the footer or in the header section won't appear if I use the datasheet view.
Is there a way to use my own navigation buttons instead of the default ones ??
First let me say, I am sorry for all the questions lately. I thought once I got to the forms part of my database it would be smooth sailing boy was I wrong.
Anyways,
I have a form called Contractors and a Subform called ContractorsSubform. I need to add two sets of buttons one for the main form and one for the subform. Since I figured the subform is the hardest, I am working on that first. So here is my question:
I have an Edit Order Details button which works fine for the subform. I am trying to add a save Order Details Record button for just the subform (along with a message box asking if they are sure they want to save) however, I can't get it to work for the subform. I have tried various codes that I have found on this forum as well as in the help in Access and I keep getting errors. Can anybody help? I have attached the database to be looked at.

P.S. I am not very good with VB but I am trying to learn.
1. Organizations form. This form has a command button that when pressed it shows all contacts associated with the organization.
2. List of Contacs Form has a subform (Contacts) which has a Command Button that is supposed to show all Calls related to a particular Contact.
3. When I press the Contact Command Button from the Organizations Form I get my Contact List with no problems but when I click on the Calls button in the Contact Subform I get an "Enter Parameter Box".
4. If I use the subform as a regular form the command button works fine.
hi guys i have a main form with a subform. i have created an add command button to add rows in the subform. (it could only add when the record count is less than 3). here is my code
If Me.SubFormName.Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 then Msgbox " You can only add three" cancel=true ' cancel event me.SubFormName.Form.FieldName.SetFocus ' Set the focus to the field exit sub End if
i get no errors, However my problem is that it puts the focus on the begginning of the subform, i wanted to go to the end of the subform or new row... right now i have to go mannually until the last row... is there anyway to put the focus on the last row?
