General :: Using Check Box To Grey Out Certain Text Fields
Oct 24, 2013I am trying to use a check box to either grey out certain text field(s). For example If the box is checked true then certain fields would become available to input data. If the box is not checked it stays grayed out.

Aug 28, 2007Hi, below is the codes that I use to produce a report based on user entry on a form. On the form is a listbox for the user to select the report they wish to view. On the same form, the user must enter the date. Depending on certain selections, some fields on the form are not required. How can I force the fields that are not required to become disable based on the selection from the listbox. Thanks
Private Sub cmdGetReport_Click()
Dim strRptName As String
strRptName = Me.lstReports.Value
Select Case strRptName
Case "Originations by Branch"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptOrigByBranch", acViewPreview, , "ClosingDate Between #" & Me.txtStartDate.Value & "# AND #" & Me.txtEndDate.Value & "#"
Case "Loans Sent to Branch"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptLoanSentBr", acViewPreview, , "Br = '" & Me.txtBranchNo.Value & "' AND ClosingDate Between #" & Me.txtStartDate.Value & "# AND #" & Me.txtEndDate.Value & "#"
End Select
End Sub
Need To Enable/Disable Fields In Access
May 1, 2008Hi guys, I have a huge problem with a table I'm currently making and I was hoping you could help.
I have created a field in one of my tables using a Combobox lookup that only allows users to enter one of two options. What I want to do is restrict the other fields that a user can enter data into based on the their selection in the lookup field.
i.e if they select the first option then they can see and enter data into a few additional fields (but not others). Likewise if they select the second option they see/dont see other fields.
I am using Microsoft Access 2003.

Enable/Disable Fields Based On Table
Oct 13, 2006Hi everyone,
Need some help here! I have a table where different types of records are recorded. Let say for argument's sake my tblMain looks like this:
RecID (autonumber)
EntryType (Combo box linked to my tblEntryType)
Field1 (text)
Field2 (text)
I then have tblEntryType which lists the different types of entries to be made and which fields are required on my form and what the lables should be. The structure looks more or less like this:
EntryID (autonumber)
EntryName (text)
Field1Req (true/false)
Field1Tag (text)
On my form, my record source is tblMain. When my user makes a selection in the combobox EntryType, there is a lot of code behind the AfterUpdate function like this:
If EntryType.Column(2) = True Then
Me.field1.Enabled = True
Me.lblfield1.Caption = Me.entrytype.Column(3)
Else
Me.field1.Enabled = False
End If
I find this setup a bit labour intensive, especially as my form has quite a few fields! Is there a way that I can "look up" which fields are required from the table and enable/disable and label based on my tblEntryTypes without me having to creating so much code/use the "column" function.
Let me know if I am not making myself clear and I will be glad to try explain so more!
Tx in advance,
Mel

Grey-out Txtbox
Mar 30, 2006I have a form that has several fields that a user will enter data. When finished, the data is inserted into a table. Works great. What I want to do now is look at one of the fields entered and if it is equal to a certain value, I want to disable one of the other text boxes (fields) on the form AND pop a screen that will allow the user to enter a list of names that will update a different table.
So, if user inputs a directory name GENERIC, the txtScriptName box needs to be disabled/greyed-out and I need a form to pop so the user can put in a list of script names. If any other directory name is entered, the txtScriptName box needs to remain editable. (For directories equal to GENERIC, there will be multiple script names instead of just one)
I've been successful at getting the form to pop if GENERIC is entered but can't figure out how to grey-out the txtScriptName field. I tried using Me.txtScriptName Locked in the Before Update of the preceding field but it didn't work - could still update the txtScriptName field.
Any other sugestions?
Thanks!

Forms :: Disable All Fields On A Form When Field Is Not Null
Sep 22, 2014I have a form called PAF_Assignment and on this form there are many textboxes for editing. After all fields are entered, the user clicks on a button and this button populates the PAF_Issued_Date field with the actual date.
Then I want to disable (enable=False) all fields on this form once there is a date on PAF_Issued_Date as I don't want any user to make any changes after submitting it, although the user would still be able to read the information submitted.
I have tried the following...
PAF_Assignment Form AfterUpdate Event
If Me.PAF_Issued_Date=Not null Then
Me.FieldName1.Enabled=False
Me.FieldName2.Enabled=False
Me.FieldName3.Enabled=False
[Code] ......
However this is not working, there is no error message or anything but the fields remain enabled with the date...
Forms :: Disable / Enable Fields Not Working For A New Record
Aug 9, 2014I have some code like this that sets some fields up to be disabled when the form loads, then enables them when a combo box ('Type') is selected to 'Instrument'. This works fine as far as it goes, but if the user has selected 'Instrument' and then goes to a new record, the fields remain enabled.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.CalibrationTolerance.Enabled = False
Me.AcceptanceLimit.Enabled = False
End Sub
[Code] ....
I've looked this up and it appears I need to use the property Form.NewRecord, but nothing I do seems to make it work.
Grey Option Button
May 23, 2006Hi,
I have a group of option buttons. A user can select more than one. However, currently all of the option buttons have a grey spot in them except for the first one which is blank. I want all of the option buttons to be blank.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Grey Box Inside The Checkbox
Oct 13, 2006I have a checkbox that has a grayed out box inside of it. What causes this/ what is it? I looked up the record and there should be a checkmark in the box. In the table it is set to have one.
I know that if the prefeances of Enables is set to No then all of the check box and the text label box is all grayed out, But in my case it is only the inner part of the box…. (And it is a Checkbox…)
The box name is ABC1 and it just reads the record, that’s it... It is used for reports later down the road. So there is not any code set to this check box.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Forms :: Table Form - Disable Fields Based On A Value Of Another Field
May 27, 2013I have a table form (I want to have many records available in the screen)
I want to disable fields based on a value of another (main) field.
The fields are check boxes, so the automate formatting is not available.
I use the VBA code below:
Select Case name1
Case "POINT"
Me.sf1.Enabled = False:
Case "SIDE OUT"
Me.sf2.Enabled = False
Case Else
Me.sf3.Enabled = False
End Select
but the fields become disable to all records, not only to the records under the right condition. Why?
Modules & VBA :: Disable Button When Text / Combo Fields Are Null
Aug 5, 2013On a form, I want to disable the save button, 'cmdSave' whilst the form's mandatory fields have been left blank.
I've put in a smart tag, called, 'Req' against each required field and have used the following code on the forms current event.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Or ctl.ControlType = acComboBox Or ctl.ControlType = acListBox Then
[Code] ....
The save button is disabled, but it won't enable again after each field has data entered against it.
I also have this code in the AfterUpdate event in each required field:
Code:
Private Sub cboErrorID_AfterUpdate()
Call Form_Current
End Sub
Modules & VBA :: Code To Lock / Disable All Form Fields On Inputted Value?

Cascading Combo Box - Grey Out If No Options
Aug 1, 2006I have a form with two cascading combo boxes. The options available in the second box depend on what is selected from the first.
Some of the selections which can be made in the first box do not have any options to be selected in the second box and so it currently just pops down empty.
Is there a way that I can make the second box "greyed out" if there are no options for it?
Thanks,

Forms :: Remove Grey Bar From SubForm
Nov 3, 2013This seems like a really simple question but I have searched everywhere and can't find a solution.
I have a main form with a subform. The subform is in datasheet view.
How do I remove the grey bar from the left of the subform. I.e the row selectors where you click to highlight the entire row
I have attached an image in case
Forms :: Disable / Lock Fields On Form And Subform Based On Checkbox

Private Sub Form_Current()
If Locked = -1 Then

[Code] .....
This is locking the Main form records is there a way to code this so that the fields on the subform are also locked when the checkbox is ticked?
Odd Query Problem Giving Me Grey Hairs.
Mar 10, 2008I have a query that updates a field on a table with the value in another field. When I run the query from the Access control panel, the query does exactly what it should do, 100% perfect. When I call the query using DoCmd.OpenQuery in VBA in an OnClick function on a form, it does not work properly, only appending certain amounts of information, leaving some fields blank.Can anyone shed some light on this.the SQL for the query is:UPDATE tblHolding SET tblHolding.CostGRV = [tblHolding]![OrderCost]WHERE ((([tblHolding].[Item Code])=[tblHolding]![Item Code]));It populates another field in the same record in the same table as itself.tblHolding is populated by a Subform on the Form that has the button that calls this query when clicked.Hope I am making sense.
View 3 Replies View RelatedClose Form Leaves Grey Space
Oct 23, 2005Hopefully just a simple one??? I am using a popup form to input data into a display form which is on one page of a tabbed control. The display form updates through an afterupdate requery command. This all seems to work OK but when I enter the new record via the popup form then close it, it leaves a greyed out space and I lose input ability. I need to close down and when opened up all records are OK. If I drag the popup box on the screen it leaves a grey trail behind it. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks

Disable Shift Key, F11 Etc..
Oct 31, 2005Hi,
I am just about to set up user level security for my database. Before I do, how do I disable the holding the shift key thing when opening a database to get into the database window?
I want to make it so the users can't see the database window or access the backend data. As I will need to give permissions to use most of the tables, how is this done?
I am using Version: 2002 (10.0) XP
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Disable The [Shift] Key
Apr 26, 2007I need to disable the [Shift] key so that when the users open my MS Access database, they cannot by pass the open form and display the database window.
We had code that worked correctly with an MS Access 2000 MDB, and even works with an MS Access 2003 ADP, but the same code is ignored by MS Access 2003 MDB.
We add Module named "DisableByPassKey", here is the code...
Public Function SetProperties(strPropName As String, varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_SetProperties
Dim prps As AccessObjectProperties
Dim prp As AccessObjectProperty
Dim isPresent As Boolean
Set prps = Application.CurrentProject.Properties
For Each prp In prps
If (StrComp(prp.Name, strPropName, vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
isPresent = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If (isPresent) Then
prps(strPropName).Value = varPropValue
Else
prps.Add strPropName, varPropValue
End If
Exit_SetProperties:
Exit Function
Err_SetProperties:
If Err = 3270 Then 'Property not found
Properties.Append prp
Resume Next
Else
SetProperties = False
MsgBox "Runtime Error # " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbLf & Err.Description
Resume Exit_SetProperties
End If
End Function
The code does not cause an error, it just seems to do nothing. When I set the [Shift] key to "disabled", then re-open the database, the [Shift] key works once again.
If you have any ideas, it would be great.
Thank you!

Jan 19, 2008The code to disable shift keys at start up that has been posted here numeroous times is causing me problems. I am a complete novice with vba. but i cannot seem to get it to work and there seems to be a problem with the following line of code:-
db.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
Can anyone explain what may be going wrong. The shift key still by-passes and no password is asked for. If I do click the button on the start-up screen and enter the password I get error 3270 and the line above is highlighted.
