I have a combo box "cboSelectEvent" and a check box "ckPartRepl"
what i want is that if "cboSelectEvent" is like "X120*" then "ckPartRepl" would be disabled.
how should i write this and on which event action should i add this?
i think it should be on the lost focus or afterupdate but not sure.
should this work? i have tried it but the box always appears to be usable
Code:if me.cboSelectEvent = "X120*" thenme.ckPartRepl.enabled = falseelseme.ckPartRepl.enabled = trueend if
Private Sub A300_Completed_AfterUpdate() If A300_Completed = True Then A300_Date.Enabled = False User1.Enabled = False Else A300_Date.Enabled = True User1.Enabled = True End If End Sub
for some reason when creating a new record the above disabled/enabled fields retain the same property of the last records check? The form in a single (not a continuous)
Hi, bit of a noob here. I've searched for a while but I can't find anything related.
I have a data entry form that auto recalls the last entry that was made in it. I did this in an effort to speed up data entry. Anyways, here is the code I use.
Private Sub Investigator_AfterUpdate() Investigator.DefaultValue = "'" & Investigator.Value & "'" End Sub
Now the problem is that I want to be able to enable and disable this event proceedure with a check box. Is there a way to do this?
When UseDDelivery is checked the three textboxes should be disable and when the form is opened UseDDelivery is set to be checked by default so the textboxes should be disabled when the form opens but they aren't. the two different ways of doing it are shown below.
Elements specific to my system :UseDDelivery = checkbox AltDeliveryAddress = textbox1 AltDeliveryTown = textbox 2 AltdeliveryPostcode = textbox3 Solution 1:
This is a bit of vba a friend wrote for me quickly, it includes all three textboxes but the checkbox enables them instead of disables.
solution 2:
Code: Private Sub UseDDelivery_AfterUpdate() If AltDeliveryAddress.Enabled = True Then AltDeliveryAddress.Enabled = False Else AltDeliveryAddress.Enabled = True End If End Sub
With this bit of vba I found the checkbox enables the textbox instead of disabling it and I can't figure out how to include the other two textboxes
im trying to enable/disable checkboxes based on a combobox selection for instance,
i make the selection in a combo box called terms and conditions. i want it then to only enable the business,domestic and summary check boxes for that type, with the onther check boxes staying disabled. is there a way this can be done through code like the statement "only enable if this letter type selection has been selected"
I'm in need a of a check-in/check-out application for my company. We have about 550-600 employees at any given time and our turnover is about 20-30% per year. Our check-in/check-out process requires our employees to personally visit between 30-40 areas in our company (personnel, safety, credentials, parking, insurance, etc) within the first month of employment. This is currently done manually and is a huge drain on labor, especially when check-in sheets are lost, misplaced or, in some cases, forged.
I'm looking to build a database that would be intranet based, password secure (by check-in area) that would allow the new employee to present at a particular check-in, check-out site, complete that portion of the check-in/out process and then allow the person responsible for the check-in/out to enter the status into the database. At any point in the process, I would want to know the status of the person checking in/out (how long they've been checking in/out and what portion of the process have they completed).
Hi I have sendkey "{f7}" on loss focus. this works great as a spell check but then I get the mesage box that spell check is complete. How do I stop this box from occuring?
I know how to disable the min / max buttons on a form, but can anybody provide help with disabling the Min / Max buttons of the access application itself, I recently found some code that somebody had posted to disable the "X" button, now I would like to disable the min / max function as well.
I am just about to set up user level security for my database. Before I do, how do I disable the holding the shift key thing when opening a database to get into the database window?
I want to make it so the users can't see the database window or access the backend data. As I will need to give permissions to use most of the tables, how is this done?
I need to disable the [Shift] key so that when the users open my MS Access database, they cannot by pass the open form and display the database window.
We had code that worked correctly with an MS Access 2000 MDB, and even works with an MS Access 2003 ADP, but the same code is ignored by MS Access 2003 MDB.
We add Module named "DisableByPassKey", here is the code...
Public Function SetProperties(strPropName As String, varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Integer On Error GoTo Err_SetProperties
Dim prps As AccessObjectProperties Dim prp As AccessObjectProperty Dim isPresent As Boolean
Set prps = Application.CurrentProject.Properties For Each prp In prps If (StrComp(prp.Name, strPropName, vbTextCompare) = 0) Then isPresent = True Exit For End If Next
If (isPresent) Then prps(strPropName).Value = varPropValue Else prps.Add strPropName, varPropValue End If
Exit_SetProperties: Exit Function
Err_SetProperties: If Err = 3270 Then 'Property not found Properties.Append prp Resume Next Else SetProperties = False MsgBox "Runtime Error # " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbLf & Err.Description Resume Exit_SetProperties End If
End Function
The code does not cause an error, it just seems to do nothing. When I set the [Shift] key to "disabled", then re-open the database, the [Shift] key works once again.
Hi, I have a text box in a from for data entry, how do I disable a space. For example I don't want the user to have a space between charaters or before and after a charater. Thanks.
The code to disable shift keys at start up that has been posted here numeroous times is causing me problems. I am a complete novice with vba. but i cannot seem to get it to work and there seems to be a problem with the following line of code:-
db.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
Can anyone explain what may be going wrong. The shift key still by-passes and no password is asked for. If I do click the button on the start-up screen and enter the password I get error 3270 and the line above is highlighted.
Here is my problem: When a certain yes/no box is true (checked) other fields on the form are not enabled. That works just find when I am on the record that I click the yes/no field. When I go to another record and then go back to the previous record the fields that should be disabled due to a certain yes/no box being true are now enabled and not disabled. Below is my code. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Hi, Im currently creating a database for an A-Level project. I am required to create a database for a real company. They have asked me to stop the right click function on forms. I have disabled almost every feature on the forms, however i cannot find a way to disable right click. Please help.
If (Me.cboStatus.Value = "Approved" Or Me.cboStatus.Value = "Approved as Noted" Or IsNull(Me.cboStatus) Or Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > Me.CurrentRecord) Then Me.cmdNew.Enabled = False Else Me.cmdNew.Enabled = True End If
End Sub
The navigation buttons work flawlessly but the cmdNew button still is enabled when it shouldn't be. THe idea is that is will be disabled if:
-current record is not the last record -cbostatus is blank(null) -cbostatus is "approved" -cbostatus is "approved as noted"
The only code that seems to work is the "me.recordsetclone.recordcount > Me.currentrecord" .
Am I going about this the wrong way? How can I check what is in the cbostatus box and have the cmdnew button enabled/disabled based on its value.
I have the following code in the on_load of all of my forms to disable all menus:Dim i As IntegerFor i = 1 To CommandBars.CountCommandBars(i).Enabled = FalseNext iThe problem is that when I open a report in preview mode I cannot close, print, etc.Two questions:1. Is the above approach the best way to disable all menus and toolbars?2. How do I add a custom toolbar (already created) to the report preview only. I've tried doing in in the properties and by me.toolbar = "custom toolbar." Neither approach works. I suspect that the code I've used to disable the menus is keeping me from adding custom menus where I want them?I should also mention that I have also turned off all of the menus, toolbars, etc. in the options/startup.Thanks for your help!
I have one form where I want the 'Enter key to be disabled. What is the best way to disable the 'Enter key for this one form without disable'n it for the entire database?
I have created a switchboard that has 8 more sub switchboards. They have got items from 1 to 8. My database is setup with users and their authorised access levels. Admin has level 1, Manager level 2, Users Level3. Now what i want is that when admin logs in all the items in the switchboard must be available, but when a Manager with leve 2 or a user with level 3 logs in to the database then certain items on a specific Switchboard must be diabled For example lets say Sub Switchboard No 3 and its item number 4 (SwitchboardID = 3 and Item Number 4) should be disabled. I tried searching it on the Forum but no use. All i request you is to help me in this issue.
I searched the forums for this, but only ran across this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=98554) reference to the access 97 method. Could you please let me know what the access 2003 method for disabling this close box is or provide me criteria to search the access help files?
Hi everyone. Listen, is there a way to disable the mouse wheel from scrolling through entries in a form? I would like to do this in order to not confuse and upset the user further in the database I am developing, since they do have to enter data into it. Please help me.
I was hoping someone knows how to disable the ability for users to gain access to the properties window.
When viewing a form (or any object), one can usually right click, click on the corner of the form, or a few other actions and gain access to the properties option. If selected, the properties window is displayed with all the object's properties.
Is there a way to NOT allow the users to select this option? i.e. to disable this option from the menu list?
This has to be simple, but the solution eludes me.
I have a database that works really weel, but I need to do some tweaking to the toolbars to "grey out" the "sort ascending" and "sort descending" icons so that hte users do not mess with those and change how the recoerds display.
There has to be an easy way to disable those two buttons or an alternate way to ensure that the form basically ignores them.
