I belive I have done this before but I cant remember how!
I have a continuos form with two text boxes on it and a check box.
I am trying to say if text box1 = "1" then text box 2 is visible if text box 1 = 2 then text box 2 is invisible. I am doing this on a tick box (for other reasons) so my code looks like this:
If Me.Text1 = "1" Then Me.Text2.Visible = True End If If Me.Text1 = "2" Then Me.Text2.Visible = False End If
It works, kind of. The trouble is because its a continuous form all the Text2 boxes become visible or invisible depending rather than just the one record i'm working on. Is there a soloution to this?
Is it possible to make my Splash screen invisible after someone checked the "Do not show me this screen again" just while that current session? Is there a way of using flags and a system table or query that would allow me to do so? Thank you:)
I have a form display project hours and also caculation of total for each project.
A user can spend time on multiple projects each day, I would like all zero invisiable. I had tried to set all default values to null (nothing) instead of zero. It causes problem in caculation of total.
I remember in Excel, it can make zero not to display, can we do this on an Access Form?
(Something I also want to know if this is possible. This is a time sheet, is anyway we can do on the form that projects (records) can be displayed horizonatally (on the top) while the dates can be displayed vertically (on the left), ,more like a transposed. But it would not change the struture of database (just display) so the date remains a field and projects are records.)
I have a main form that has 2 subforms. I have a field on both forms that I have marked as "Visible="No". Both are text box controls and I have made sure that both the label and the text box itself are marked "Visible="No". In the first subform, it works correctly, while on the second one, it still displays.
Is there a simple way, or special event, that can be used to turn off the visibility of fields when they are in the detail or in a created header for a field?
I tried using the report's Load event, but this kept giving me errors. Are any of the events in the detail able to allow this?
I am trying to improve my code by making it more readible. The following code works, but it is certainly not the most efficient way. I`m trying to write a loop to make certain elements in an Access report visible/invisible, but I can`t address the visibility property of these items while iterating over i.
I'm trying to get some labels and eventually text boxes to become visible on an input of a qty in a text box, but I can't get my syntax right.Here's what I have so far.
Private Sub More_qty_AfterUpdate() Dim count As Integer Dim pumplbl As String For count = 1 To [More qty].Value pumplbl = "pumplbl" & count pumplbl.Visible = True
When the user click the button, then it will give out a popup form to the screen, but I want to make the popup form's height as same as the screen/window/monitor's height, because the popup form's height is larger than the screen's height, and every user's monitor's height is different. So, I have to make it flexiable change of the height of the popup form. How can I check the screen/window height by VBA function? In Excel, it has Application.Height to check. In MS Access Form, I cannot find one for doing that.
I have an inventory database i am working on but am too new to access to know all the inner workings. Quick summary of what I need to accomplish: I have a databse with several tables each representing different types of parts that we sell. Each table is similar in that the primary key for each is the part#, beyond that though the different types of parts have different specs that go with them. (example: for enclosures, the dimensions are needed but the amperage is not, for circuit breakers the opposite would be true.)
Next I have an inventory table, each record has a unique Control number that we assign as the primary key, then just a part #, notes about its condition (some parts are used) , a shelf location, and a price and date.
I have a very small sample database that i can email to anyone interested in looking at it.
Basically what i think i need to come up with is form that has several aspects to it. A user enters a "CATALOG NUMBER" into a combo box at the top of the form. tabbing out of that field then shows the specs of that catalog number below. the problem is the part numbers would come from a number of tables like the BUS PLUGS, MCCB'S, ENCLOSURES tables, all of which have different types of data. Finally, at the bottom of the form would be a result of a search through the INVENTORY table returning the multiple lines of line by line data where the CATALOG NUMBER matches the one specified above to show the records with the same catalog number but different notes, prices and different shelf locations. anyone care to take a look?
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
Hi, can anyone help? Like an idiot I veered away from my intention to put a password on an Access database which holds only a table and a few queries and explored other security options. I now cannot get in to the database at all and get a message telling me that I do not have the necessary acces srights and to consult my administrator. When I look at the properties, I am shown as the administrator, which makes sense but despite trying various, desperate things, I cannot get back in to take the security off. Needless to say I did not create a copy first, so have learned a lesson the hard way. Any advice gratefully received.
I just finished building my database and i have to install it on a PC. my problem is how to remove access tool bars and menues so that the only thing that appears when you open the databse is the login screen? I don't want the user of the database to be able to go to design view and change the design of the forms or the reports. I want the user to see and be able to interact with the login form and the switchboard. I wanna also know how can i install the databse on the PC. do i just copy it and paste it or is there any way else?
I need to import the data from one database into another everytime a form opens, I have some code which works:
Function GrabAccessTable() DoCmd.TransferDatabase transfertype:=acImport, _ databasetype:="Microsoft Access", _ databasename:="\triggerwwwroot$AW@RDAW@RDOnline.mdb", _ objecttype:=acTable, Source:="Main", _ destination:="Table", structureonly:=False End Function
The problem is that it won't surrently write it into an existing table, I want it to write into a table called Table (stupid choice of name I know....) but instead it creates a new table calle Table1.
Hello everyone! I am completely new to MS ACCESS, so this problem might be fairly simple but yet it is eating my head.So if I get some directions it will be greatly helpful and appreciated. Description: The bakery buys ingredients from number of suppliers, makes a several kinds of cakes and sells to few shops. There are about seven ingredients in the first week with the possibility to add new in ingredients later on. There’s a catch though; on any day, only a single type of cake is made, in a single batch and all of them must be delivered before the next day’s cake are finished. It is necessary to be able to rack the ingredients used in a batch back to the suppliers. I have made tables for suppliers, ingredients, orders and order line (with fields ordereId, ingredientId, quantity, unit price). Forms that allowing users to allow new ingredients types, suppliers, and new order for ingredient are required which I have made. These forms are to be used to add the data for which ingredients are needed in the second week of baking. So these are my questions on which I am stuck in
1. Do I need any more Forms or do I need to edit my form? 2. Is it okey to put table as the data source or would it be better to place a query? 3. How do I keep records of my earnings and expenditure, expenditure and keep them updated with my databases? I hope you will understand that I am completely new to these topics and its really hard for me to grasp them all at once. Merely some guiding points will be of great help. Thank you. 6pandn21
I thought I new enought about access databases. I've used the Time & Billing database as a template for my sister to use, but her partner uses a MAC. How can I get the MAC to access the database? I believe the MAC can use Excel but how can I link these two, if at all.

I created a Contact database where I have the date and time as two separate fields in one of the tables. I have them defined as such, but would prefer that the fields wait until I enter data into them and not auto fill with the current information. Is there a property of these fields I can set so that these fields do not get auto filled? Again this database is too large to send, so I hope that you can help without it.
When I bring back my access 2003 project from work back home, i open the project at home, I am using access 2002 or 2000 format.
Then I notice if I save a copy of my work using access 2002, while initially using an access 2003 database, the file size decresaseas dramatically, from like 3mb to 800 kb?
I am in the process of trying to create a DragNDrop feature in the Access database that I've built. I have 3 employee with several different txt boxes all side by side and I need to be able to drag and drop the job from one to another.
I need to create a class module to do this but my problem is I don't know how.
Hi I have an access database called contact.mdb and I have linked to it just fine and used the records held in it to populate a datagrid and can update and delete records.
I don't understand databases that much but I would like to read the values into a drop down menu which are held in the field 'ID' from a table called 'courses'. I have a feeling it is something to do with data sets but am not too hot on these either. Any pointers or code would be gratefully received.
My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.
