SetProperty Enabled Not Working For Second OnClick?
Oct 7, 2013
I have a form for creating a new database record for a list of "components".
One button "add_component" adds a new record.
One text input "component_input" allows you to enter in the "name" of the component.
One button "save_component" saves the record.
The component_input and save_component have their default "enabled" property set to "No" in their properties list.
I only want the component_input and save_component form objects to be enabled once the "add_component" button has been clicked. Once the "save_component" button is clicked, I want them to return to being disabled. This will prevent any accidental over-writing of records.
I have used "build event" for the "add_component" button...
Code:
if [macroError] <> 0 then
## errorMessage here ##
else
setProperty
control name: component_input
property: enabled
[Code] ....
And then I have used "build event" for the "save_component" button...
Code:
if [macroError] <> 0 then
## errorMessage here ##
else
setProperty
control name: component_input
[Code] ....
Now, this works when add_component is first clicked, however when I click save_component neither component_input or save_component become disabled again.
Have a number of tick boxes on different forms. When the form is opened the tick box appears to be greyed out however it is enabled. Is there any way that these tick boxes can appear enabled???
After some suggestions, I have a form with combo boxes, the combo boxes are set to enabled "no", but become enabled by an after update command on another field.
The after update command works perfectly, however once enabled I need to ensure data is selected, as opposed to leaving blank.
I am having a mare trying to do something which I think should be quite simple, as follows.
In a table I have the field [Entitled]. On my form I have this as a yes/no check box.
I have the following code in the VB.
Private Sub Check112_AfterUpdate() If Me![Check112] = True Then Me![Entitled].Visible = True (or I could use) Me![Entitled].Enabled = True Else Me![Entitled].Visible = False (or I could use) Me![Entitled].Enabled = False End If End Sub
Some people have the field checked and others do not.
The problem is; when I check or uncheck the box on individual records shown on the form, the value is remebered when I scroll to the next record (i.e. the box may be unchecked but the field is still visible/enabled). It is doing my head in! Help Please.
I have a form with many command buttons. This form is a master for a database that keeps time for my department. One command button is a setup button that I want the user to run once and only once. What code, and where do I put it will allow my to set the command button's visible or enabled to be false. Even when the user closed the database and reopend it, if the user has run the setup once, I do not want to allow them to run it again.
In a simple data retrieve/update form, how I can set a text field’s properties Enabled to No based on that particular record value?
For instance, there are 4 fields, employeeid, employeename, employeetitle, employeephone I would like to set the employeephone text field’s properties Enabled = No, if the employeetitle is Manager
I want a combo box to be enabled only when I want to edit the data in the cbo for that particular record or when the fo0rm is on a new record. So, by default the cbo is Enabled No and Locked Yes. I placed a button on the form and put the following in the On Click:
Code:
Private Sub cmdEditContactsType_Click() Me!cboContactFilter.Enabled = True Me!cboContactFilter.Locked = False End Sub
But when I press the button the control remains disabled.The field has several Contact genres and since I'm using the data in a split form allowing edits to the single form side I don't want this cbo enabled during browsing.
i have a problem i hope some one can help me with.
i have a form with a sub form on it, and i want to disable everything until the user clicks a 'edit' button to allow the information to be changed.
i am just testing it at the moment, so i set one text box's enabled property to false. then i added a button with an on click event with the following code:
Me!userid.Enabled = True
when i start the form, the userid box is disabled and when i click on the edit button, it enables it fine.
however, when i change to the next record, the userid box remains enabled. i cant find where to put the code to set it back to false everytime i change the record.
i should also let you know i am a beginner, so please be gentle!
I presently have a form that I have all the fields set as read only by using the enabled and the locked property of each field. However I have to be able to open the form to certain users with all fields enabled and unlocked. I need code that will run through each field and set the field's enabled to True and the locked to false. This code I will apply to a button that will open the form.
I created a database which when macros are enabled the only thing visible on the screen is the forum. All tables as well as the ribbon bar is disabled. I also disabled right-clicking.
My issue is, for those who do not have macro's enabled, it opens up in design view and allows access to the left-hand tables until the user clicks the trust button at the top. Once trust is clicked, everything hides as expected.Is there a way to restrict access if they do not have their macros enabled?
im creating a form in design view but the icon to show the fields from the table that i want the fields to come from isnt being displayed; how do i get it to show?
I am using Office 2007 and trying to export a table in Access to a Macro-Enabled workbook in Excel. Unfortunately, when I go to export the table, my file does not show when I browse for the file and .xlsm doesn't look like it's a supported file extension. I have looked around and noticed others have this problem as well. One solution was to use save the Excel file as a 97-2000 file since it doesn't change the file extension based on having macros. However, I can't do this because then I lose functionality with tables and other things on my spreadsheet. I need the data in Excel to be updated every month. Is there any way to do this in Access? I'm going to explore using sharepoint. My DB options are limited to Access and Sharepoint. I don't have access to Oracle or SQL Server or MySQL etc.
I have several buttons on a form and I want to set enabled = false on one of them when I open the form - that's fine
I have two txt fields - ReceiptNo and BankPaymtId if the both have a value I want to make the button enabled = True
This is the code I have used on the BankPaymentId On Dirty event
Private Sub BankPaymentId_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
This is the one for ReceiptNum on Dirty event
Private Sub ReceiptNum_Dirty(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[ReceiptNo] <> "" Then If Me.[BankPaymtId] <> "" Then Me.CreateOutlay.Enabled = True End If End If End Sub
Ok, I know this is a very simple question..and most people's reactions (including mine) would be to say "Try the search button" or some such thing..so I would just like to say I have tried and could not find the answer >.<
I have a subform with 5 fields displaying information on a specific customers service tickets... I am attempting to use OnClick to open a new form with the information in the ServiceID field used as a filter...so when ya click on a service id number it opens a new form with all fields for that service ticket visible.
I know this has to be a very simple question, but I am just finishing with a basic access class in college and trying to expand into the areas they failed to cover, thnks in advance >.<
Attached is a project I am working on. It's a personal reminder program. The problem I am having is that when I enter the actual completion date at the bottom and click on the "Complete Task" button, I want the record to be copied to the History table, then the Start Date and Due Dates reset based on the Frequency. If someone could look at the On Click event procedure for this button and help me get this fixed, I would appreciate it very much. I don't know much about VB or SQL coding.
i was wondering since i am not so good at VB, if you can help me out with this one problem i have.
i haver this combo box, and i have 2 items listed in it, and when i highlight the correct code, i want the CMD button to open up the correct form page.
i know it goes someting like this but i do not know the correct syntax.
Code:Private Sub Command31_Click()if [you choose this list], [open Form1]Elseif [you choose this list], [open form2]End Sub
I have a tab control with buttons nested inside of it calling to open a form - but when I go to test the buttons, they do not open the form that the wizard selected. I get the error message: invalid outside procedure. If i copy the button into the main portion of the form outside of the tab control - it seems to work. Any ideas would help. Thanks again!
I have a button in a form that needs to change the text in a field named idStatus from "Assigned" to "Returned"
I have tried using an expression like this "[Form]![Field]=12" in the OnClick spot but it returned an error. There is no "custom made" wizard for this and my VB skills are lacking.
Once again, thanks! (I know I post alot but this forum is amazing!)
I have query that filters my list in Access. The list can be filtered in different ways(like using a combobox). This is the criteria of the query for the field Title of the table Book:
Code: Like IIf([Forms]![frmName]![cmbSearch].[OnClick];"*" & [Forms]![frmName]![txtSearchBar] & "*"; [Book]![Title])
What I want is when the cmbSearch is clicked, the list must show the Tiltes where the title of the book contains the words of the search bar. When its not clicked on that button, the list must show all the titles.
Here is the SQL of the query:
Code: SELECT Book.ID, Book.Title FROM Book WHERE (((Book.Title) Like IIf([Forms]![frmName]![cmbSearch].[OnClick],"*" & [Forms]![frmName]![txtSearchBar] & "*", [Book]![Title]))
The problem is the list filters whether I click on a different cmdButton or an optionButton. I dont know why [cmbSearch].[OnClick] doesnt work.
I want a command button to "Requery" a combobox. the combobox uses a query to determine the records listed (it lists incomplete records). after completing the record, i'd like to hit a command button that will "requery" the combobox so that the recently completed record is no longer listed.
I'm using VBA to prompt users for two required fields. One I can do, but with more than one I get into issues like only 1 message box appearing at a time. If both fields are blank I want both messages to appear. Here's my code, it's in an On click function:
If IsNull(req_file_num) = True Then MsgBox "Required field: File #. The appropriate file number must be entered before this PO's status can be changed to Filed." GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2 End If
If Not [req_filed_date] Then [req_process_status_rec_id] = 8
MsgBox "Your changes have been processed. This purchase order now has a status of Filed." DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_req_file" GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2 Else: MsgBox "Required field: File Date. The appropriate date must be entered before this PO's status can be changed to Filed." GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2
End If
Err_Command_158_Click2: End Sub
I realize that it only shows one message box because I have the GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2 command, but I couldn't figure out how else to keep it from continuing through the code. If both "req_file_num" and "req_filed_date" are null, then I don't want the "req_process_status_rec_id" to change to 8 and have the form close.
I am new to VBA for access. I am working on a form as a user interface. I have added an picture to the form. It looks small, and not clear because of the size, and each image has different size. I would like to know if there is a VBA code that will allow me to click on it, and then it will open in another window so it is bigger with the right sizes. I attempted like this:
Prova is another form and Campo1 is the field with the picture.
I also need to save about 120,000 images. I wonder if the best solution is to use the attachment for the field type or another. What format should I Whereas in the mask I preview. And if Access internally saves the images or not.
