I made a table containing information about products (price, amount, supplier,...). The most inportant info is the order number (cause it's unique).
Then I made a form, containing a combo-box and several text-boxes. The idea is to find a record using the combo-box, and vieuwing the information of that product in the form. This works, but a problem occurs: the order numbers change each time in a single number (I guess the autonumber). How can I solve this problem so that my combo-box is still available for searching, but no changes can be made in the table that is the source for the form?
I am trying to open my form locked and have the uers click a button to unlock the form to enter data. The way i do it now is have 2 forms one set to allow edits "yes" the other set to "no" and then have a button for each
This is working ok but i would like to tidy things up a bit and get it to one button.
I struggle with programming but i will do my best to understand any posts.
I want to lock a form but keep it visible when a 2nd form opens in front of it. I would also like to keep the 2nd form on top. How to do these 2 things?
Is it possible to lock a field in a form after the user has populated the field? So for example, I have two date fields and I want them to be locked after the user has entered values on those fields. I want to avoid the user to come back in the future and change those fields. However I would like the database administrator to be able to change those dates when needed. How do I do this?
Apologies if I am covering old ground here but unfortunately I cannot find a suitable solution after searching the forum.
Basically my switchboard on Open includes DoCmd.Maximize so that the switchboard does indeed open on full screen. However, say I then leave my database open and work on a different application on my PC then when I click on my database on the taskbar then the form is not longer full screen.
So what I am basically asking is, is there a way of 'locking' it to appear full screen even if I flick between applications on my PC?
I'm trying to lock a checkbox when the forms open and depending if one has role as admin, it should unlock it.When I add the below code in the on open form I get error:
I'm trying to lock certain fields on my form based on the value in a particular field. It seems to work the first time but applies itself to all other records in the database from then on!
The starting point is a command button that sends an email and makes Me.DPLLock = 1. The corresponding table entry is formatted as a number.
The code is...
Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.DPLLock = 1 Then Me.OR_Name.Locked = True Me.OR_Sales_Order.Locked = True Me.OR_WO_No.Locked = True Me.OR_Qty.Locked = True
I would like to be able to lock a form's field temporarily until certain information has been added to other fields. Once the required fields are complete, I want to be able to allow the field to be updated.
Here is a simplified version of the table fields (only including relevant fields):
Basically, I don't want the user to be able to update the CurrentEmployee field in a new record until the LastName and FirstName fields have been completed.
The reason I want to prevent this is that when CurrentEmployee field is updated, the record is then assigned a ContactID number (PK autoID field) which means that my subform is assigned an ID# and the result is messy if the user decides to abort the creation of the record.
Code: (THIS NEVER WORKS FOR ME - RUNTIME ERROR) Me.AllowEdits = Me.Parent.AllowEdits Me.AllowDeletions = Me.Parent.AllowDeletions Me.AllowAdditions = Me.Parent.AllowAdditions
So the main form is locked upon opening and unlocked with the click of an unlock button. How to apply this to the subforms as well. They just stayed unlocked the whole time.
hi, i would like to be able to prevent a user from being able to change a field (lock a field) in a main form if a field in a subform is complete. (the field in the subform is named: "new_weekly_base" if this is complete then i would like the field: "weekly base" to be locked on the main form. is this possible?, please help.
the main form is named: "SCREEN-MAIN" the subform is named: "SCREEN-SUBFORM" (the main form has a button on it which loads the subform.)
ive tried the below code but it doesnt work, any help would be excellent.
------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If [NEW_WEEKLY_BASE] >= 0 Then
With Me.WEEKLY_BASE .Visible = True .Enabled = False End With End If End Sub ------------------------------------------------

2 days ago, I was able (from front end file) to open a table (in the back end in another computer) and modify the records or add a new one. Yesterday, Office 2007 was automatically updated from the internet, and now I can open the tables but it locks me (it doesn't let me modify or add anything)
Does anyone have any idea of what's going on and how to fix this? thank you

I have a created a database for insurance policies. I'm using a form in the database to edit the data in the underlying table. I use "pessimistic lock" in the database and in the form. The database runs in a multi-user environment.
My question is the folowing:
When a user is editing a record, it is obvious that this record is set to lock in the table (--> pessimistic lock), but the 4 records that are right before this record are also locked too!
There is nobody else editing at that same moment in the database and it is not a one-time occurence!
Can somebody help me out with this one... I'm realy desperite and I searched the entire forum.
