Modules & VBA :: Checking For Key Presses In On Click Event
Jul 25, 2014I have a button on a form and I want the On Click event behind it to check whether Shift is also being pressed when the user clicks the button (or Ctrl, or Alt, in fact any damn key will do).
I can't believe that there isn't a function in VBA like the old 1980s BASIC 'inkey' function (etc) that just simply returns the code of any key being held down at the time of the scan. I shouldn't have to mess around programming other events like KeyDown and KeyUp when I don't particularly need the key-press to trigger an event per se.
Confirm Undo (when User Presses Esc Key)
Nov 10, 2006I have a small procedure I'd like to include in my database. I want to confirm with the user with some sort of modal popup message (I think that's the right term) when they abort data entry on a form (anywhere on that form which consists of several pages, and a linked subform on one page). I think I can use the "on undo" event, but I don't know what code to include to make this happen...
Tried searching for this to no avail, but I would think this is a common procedure to prevent users from accidental data entry abortion.
Thanks,
Brad
Simulate Event After Enter Key Is Hit?
Apr 21, 2005I have a form with 3 textboxes. Data in any one of them will be used in a query which is run currently through a command button.
I want to run the query after the user hits Enter in the textbox after their data.
I could use the 'after_Update' event but this activates when focus is lost from the text box, or on Tabs etc - not the intended function.
Any way to simulate this? (trap the chr of the Key?)

Enter New Data Event
Nov 7, 2005Hi, I am not entirely sure where to look in the forum to answer this question, maybe someone can help me. I am just trying to create a simple code that would open a form if a user enter in a field a value that never has been entered before and open a other different form if the user enter a value already recorded. I can't find a 'not in recordset event', but there must be a way as when the form is set to Data entry with no duplicates an event occurs depending on the data being already recorded or not.

Forms :: Enter Attendance At Event?
Jan 22, 2015I have a database with three tables:
Participants (with name...), Events (with Event Name, date..., Event Attendance (Participant ID, Event ID, Date).
Relationships all work and reporting works. I now want to create a form for entering attendance into a single event as a batch. I only want to enter the event ID one time and then be able to enter participant ID's for all attendees. The event coordinator will have a tablet running the db at the door and each participant will use their ID card to be scanned into the event.
I don't want the coordinator to have to reselect the correct event between each participants scan but instead to enter the event once and have multiple participants ID's entered for the one event. The date field is defaulting to current date/time [Now()].

Calc User Totals Table 1 And Enter In User Records In Table 2
Oct 28, 2004I have two tables. The first contains details of a budget holders money allocation for a given period, and the other tracks their spend on products over that period. How can I generate a query to calculate the total running spend for each user from the "budget spend table" that will be written into the users record in the "budget allocation table".
My aim is to show details of budget allocation, total spend to date and remaining budget for each user in an Order form / report.
Can anyone please advise me on how to do this or suggest another way of doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Let The User Enter The Field They Wish To See
Aug 18, 2005Hi all
Can a SQL query be written so that when the user runs the query, a prompt asks the user to enter the field they wish to see?
i.e. a query is written to return certain predefined fields, plus a field that is not defined. When the query runs an error comes up to enter the field it should search for.
It would be handy for the start of each month, when a new field (month's data) is required. It will avoid updating the query each month.
Thanks in advance!!

Mar 14, 2012I am trying to edit the following code to be able to require the user to enter a Loan number and keep prompting the user to enter a value as long as the field is blank.

Forms :: Forcing User To Enter Data Into Certain Fields?
Nov 23, 2013i have a form with various tabs and a number of fields. If I could I would just select all fields to "required=Yes" in the table design mode. But some fields should only have data entered if another field has a certain value. So, I think I just want all visible fields for this data requirement (I set some fields to visible=false if I don't want them to have a value).
So far I tried to do this on click of the Submit Record button which I created using the "docmd.gotorecord, , acnewrec" statement, but I can't seem to make it work when combining it with if then msgbox statements. Plus I typed an if then statement for every required field.
Here's my code below:
Private Sub AddNewRecord_Click()
On Error GoTo Err1
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.Label216.Visible = False
Me.CM_2A.Visible = False

Tables :: User Form Design To Enter Necessary Information?
Dec 30, 2013I have given an example in the attached excel spread sheet with a few comments at the head of each column.
1. I want to confirm that my best modelling approach for this kind of information is a series of 1 to many relationships linking the attributes in columns A->D?
2. In the example given an environmental rating is given to each make/model of car based on each combination of attributes A-->D. How would this work in terms of user form design to enter the necessary information? in order to assign an environmental rating?

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Restrict User To Enter Data If Dsum Exceeds Total
Sep 8, 2014I need to be able to restrict users enter a value in the text box (on Form B) called "FTE Assigned" if Dsum of a field called "FTE Allocated" in another form A is less than what is going to be sum of FTE Assigned after the value is entered.
Both these forms are used by users to enter data in the 2 separate tables which are linked together through a join.
Master table - having FTE Allocated values and secondary table having FTE Assigned values.
Basically a message box would do if Dsum (of FTE used) is coming out higher than FTE allocated.

Prompt User To Enter Personal Password When Ticking Option Button
Mar 24, 2015I have a form in which I collect approvals from two different departments. To approve an item the user selects their name from a combobox, and then tick an option box to indicate approval. The combobox is from table 'Users' and has a query as a source with the following fields, 'UserNum, First, Last, Password'. The 'approval' fields are on table 'Approvals' and are yes/no fields.
What I'd like to have happen is that the user chooses their name from the combobox and then ticks the option box for approval; when ticked I would like a messagebox to appear asking for the users password based on the name chosen in the combobox.
Is this even possible?
Form Event To Alert Before User Moves Onto Another Record
Sep 20, 2005Hi,
I have a form with some bound fields and some unbound fields. If I make any change to the bound fields I can use the "Before update" event to perform some actions when a user tries to move onto a new record.
What I now need is if a user doesn't make any change to the bound fields but makes a change to an unbound field - how can I check this before the next record is displayed. Is there any event I can use? Each time a user tries to move to a new record I want to check first if they have added anything to an unbound field.
Users can move onto the next record using buttons or the record navigator at the end of the form.
Many Thanks,
