Label In Front Of Button
May 25, 2006
I have a button on a form that is hidden, the button has a label over it, both are normally hidden.
When the user presses another button on the form I need these to appear but however I do it, the label appears behing the button.
Ive sent the button to the back and brought the label to the front, both by default are not visable
when the user clicks the button I run the following psuedo code
me.button.visible = true
me.buttonlabel.visible = true
any ideas?
regards
Andy

I have a query in which some of the field names were assigned a while back and don't make a lot of sense to the person who gets the report so I give them new labels in the query...for example:
I pull in the field AE_resp_req and in front of that I type in RM Response: AE_resp_req and when I run the query, the name for the field is RM Response and it works great. I have another field called Category_Rating that I pull into this query and I did the same thing: Exam Rating: Category_Rating (field name) but when I run the query it still says Category_Rating and I get no errors or messages..

Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :
Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End
If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o

I have a printed form that pulls some of its data from a table.What i need is that printed form to have a variable that two area in the form can change based on who is printing the form.I have a table that has all the users data in it. the current form pulls that information from the label and places it into the for. easy enough so far right.
for example. But i need this printed form to be able to be dynamic. So for instance Tom inst sitting that the computer wanting to print the form and so on for four different users who will print the form.So the button that allows the print either needs a way to have a selection or i need four different button. So the second part of this Mark Twain quits his job and Johnny takes his place. easy enough to change the data in the table that my form is pulling the data from but the button label needs to change to that the button.

In Access 2007, I'm using labels as buttons because they can be made pretty. Since labels can't have focus, the focus is not shifted from whatever textbox users are in on button press. The value in that textbox is not considered updated when the macro runs, and things get messy from there.
I had been using a setfocus between two textboxes to work around this, but that seems like a copout. I now have a simple form with just a textbox and a button, so this seems like a good time to learn the right way to do this.

Is it possible to use a toggle button to change the colour of a label?
I assume the code should be something like this:
Code:
If Me.ToggleButton = 1 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
ElseIf Me.ToggleButton = 0 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
But I've tried it in the "On Click" sections and it doesn't work.

I'm using a label as a button so it looks nicer, but if I press it without officially exiting the last text field I was in, then that text field doesn't update, so the vba believes it's blank or whatever it was.
I could manually setfocus to a couple different fields or have a teeny field thats hard to see to set focus to, but these both seem roundabout.

Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code.
The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime"
Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False"
DoEvents
Loop
When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine.
If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime.
If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.
Thanks
Richard

I have n horizontal labels named Label_1 to Label_n. I'd like to assign values to the label captions by using a loop.
Something like:
For i = 1 To n
Set Label_i.Caption = i
End
However, this doesn't work. Message "Object required".
Any suggestions?

I have read every post here on "distribution" and "deploying" the front end to the users but can't seem to get how to do it. I see many posts regarding updating the front end and using the runtime version to distribute but can't seem to understand how to initially get the database out to my users.
I have a split db and need to distribute it to about 20+ people. The back end will reside on a shared drive that is mapped the same on everyone's machine.
I also have the FE on the same drive and am currently using a batch file run from a link on our website to open it, therefore we are all using the same front end which is what I am trying to eliminate.
Can I just zip up my FE and email it to my users? Will that maintain the links to the back end when they unzip it to their desktop?
Also, I would like to get some feedback on some software I am thinking of buying for pushing out my updated databases in the future. It is called Access Frontend Loader
http://www.frontend-loader.com/
Has anyone used this before? Would appreciate any thoughts on it or any other program you may have used in the past.
Thanks

I am trying to create a Preventive Maintenance Program for my facility,
I will create maintenance tasks:
[ID],[Dept.],[Machine],[Task],[Frequency],[Completed Date],[Due Date]
Simple tasks,
Up front design help,
I will want the task to stay in the task table and the Due Date to be calculated combining the [completed date] & [Frequency]
Simple not a problem,
Here is my problem:
I will need to create a task history table that will contain the Task details and the Completed date each time I complete the task; therefore my thought is that i will need to send the task detail to a history table each time it is complete, so I thought Append Query; but the problem is that it appends all of the records in the task table each time you run it including the tasks that have been appended on previous query runs.
any thoughts on how to capture the task details for a specific record and send them to a history table ?

Hi friends,
I think I am having some problem with my back end and frond end files. I have a mde file that anytime I enter new data or change some things in the old clients file, it does not update on the mdb file. Anytime I need to change forms or report or any thing at all, I am suppose to copy the BE file and the MDB file to my workstatio, remove the table link, make the changes I want to make on the design mode and then import the files back to the live copy of the mdb file then make another mde file to work with. But When I copy the BE and the MDB files, I don't have the updated client list or new client just added. So as not to affect other users, I can not make changes in the MDE file and even the MDE file will not even let me make any changes in design mode. I don't know If I am making sense but any help will be appreciated
thanks

I am having a trouble with a multiuser DB. I have split it using the Splitter Wizard and have put a copy of my FE to a second computer and relinking its tables. When I opening the bound form in computer 1, computer 2 can not open that form and sometimes computers lock and had to restart the machines. But if I open that form in computer 2 first and then the same form in computer 1 , it works fine. I have set full sharing to computer 1. I am using Access 2007 and Windows VISTA.
Both have FE, the BE is located in a shared folder with full permissions in C: in computer 1, the FE of computer 1 is in that same folder. Both computers are connected via a Cat5e Cable.
FE in computer1 table links to c:databaseBE and computer 2 links to computer1_IP_Addressc:/databaseBE
Can anyone help me please!!!
I'd appreciate it a lot
Thank you!!

I have a wonderful database I designed almost 2 years ago. Other than a few hiccups with corrupted data (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=135483), my employer is 100% satisfied with it.
I’m graduating this winter with an AS in computer programming and I would like to update the database to a VB/ADO .NET (VS 2003) front end before I leave. Being a VB developer, I have had my fair share of “quick fixes” when I could not work out a solution with VBA. VBA is the evil twin of VB lol.
Other than PHP w/ MySQL I have never used two separate entities for data management. It’s always been strictly MS Access as the database and front end.
So my question is what major differences should I expect that I took for granted with MS Access’s built in functionality? Such as subforms with master/child properties, navigation, printing reports etc. Will I have to write code for every little detail that MS Access handled for me?
What are your thoughts on using VB.NET as a front end? Did the pros out weigh any cons from your experience with this setup? Any thoughts on using Crystal Reports?

Hello
I'm looking for a web based front end to put on my access database. Due to the way our work site is set up and the people who will be entering some of the data my boss wants it to be accessed through a web browser. Infopath wont let me enter data into an access database through a web browser and with DAPs becoming a thing of the past we dont really want to use them either. Some of the forms will be used for raw data collection while others will be used to fill out spill reports (i work in an environmental department) so we can get the information quickly. We have tried just using access to run everthing but have meet alot of resistance as most of the people who enter the data hate it. I also had someone enter half a spill report into an SQL sequence once..dont even know how he got there. That is the main reason we are looking for a web based data entry system. I dont believe my boss wants to use anything but access for the storage. So basicly we are just looking for a way for people to use a web browser to enter data into an access database. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I have a backend database and front end mdb file with forms. I established the necessary relationships in the back end, however when I open Relationships screen in the front end - it opens empty. Do I have to establish same relationships in the front end or can I leave it as it is and still have my relationships work as defined in the front end?
Maybe someone could help.
thanks

Hi there, :cool:
I've one FE & BE related question here. Ok first of all I've BE in server and each user have copy of FE in local PC. But I've one problem with linked tables between FE & BE.
Is there a way that FE can programmatically create connection to BE linked tables or user is able to link those tables manually, if FE can't find/connect to linked tables in BE? Or do I just have to manually configure each users FE linked tables?
All replies are welcome and well approciated at all costs! :D

I have four columns; m_month_birth, m_day_birth, m_year_birth, m_dob
I want the format of the columns to be xx, xx, xxxx, xx/xx/xxxx
However when the month or day starts with a 0 Access seems to strip it. I tried changing the Field Size and Format to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?
I am using ASP to update the database and have made sure that is is writing to the database using the correct format.

i am creating a database that will house some supplier information. once designed, the db will be populated with all the data and then it will be used as a reference tool for future projects.
it was requested that an "excel front end" be used for lookup and ease of use to access the data when it is finished... i am not really sure how that works.
also, what is the best way to create contingent variables in access-- for example, if a certain value is in the database then you have a corresponding action. like if there were a field asking how many suppliers there were, and if say the number is 4, then 4 entry windows come up. a sort of if/then statement?
i hope this makes sense. thanks a whole lot

I split my database so that users could only edit/view data through the forms but when I opened the front end the tables where still there (linked though) and I could edit and look at them. I assume this is normal so how can I prevent users from seeing the tables. Do I just set them to hidden? Thanks.

I have a DB that I just distribute a shortcut to a front end on a network location. Then when I update the front end I delete the old one and give the new one the same name as the old one, so everyone's shortcut still works, but the FE has changed.
I haven't seen anyone else do this, which makes me nervous. Can you see any potential problems with this strategy?
thanks.

I have Microsoft Access on my desktop connecting to a MySQL database at my host, using an ODBC driver. I can read the data just fine. But when I try to add another record, it won't seem to do it.
Is it possible to update a MySQL database from MS Access on my desktop?
I have just one table. Very simple. Is it to do with primary key number generation or something?
Thanks,
Jon
