I have 30 fields on a form that houses codes that are 1 to 2 digits in length. Some of those codes are used way more often than others so I decided to build a VBA script to apply the most common codes to the fields based on entry in 3 other fields and applied to a button. The code works great but one of the fields (the 6th one) is behaving oddly. I have tried multiple criteria for code and it is ONLY the 6th field being the pain. The code is applied to the field but it is invisible until that field gains focus by either clicking on it or tabbing to it. I checked the fields format to others of the 30 and all of the settings are exactly the same. There is not anything set in any of the events and there is not any other code pointing at those fields.
I have 20 text boxes in a form Dependent on the ammount of people attending [number in Group] text box I am trying to make the same amont of [Client#] text boxes visible
The below coding works but i cannot go any further than 1 and 2 attending, As the if and else statement cannot be continued
I have a Lost/Found property database which we use to keep record of the lost/found property and it is working fine.
As per our organization's policy, we keep the item(s) for up to three months in which if it gets restored to the owner then fair enough otherwise after three months the item(s) can be claimed by the "Finder". But for this very purpose we issue the Finder with a "Claim Receipt" which he/she should bring in when claiming for the item(s) after three months period. Therefore, It's just the right time to upgrade the database to a more professional level.
The database has one table and two forms.
One form (LostFoundForm) is visible to the user in which they enter data, this form has two sections; Item(s) & Finder's details and the second section is about Restoring details.
However the second form (ClaimReceiptForm) is hidden to the users (for manual data entry) and has only one section which is exactly the same as the first form's first section, i.e., Item(s) & Finder's details. This second form takes the data automatically from the first form because the table behind them is same and fields are same (please see attachment). Up to here it's all working fine.
I would like to introduce a Checkbox or a CommandButton in the LostFoundForm which when we click should pull up a msgbox asking "Do you want to print the receipt for this item(s)?" with a Yes/No option. On clicking "No" it should, obviously, settle down but on clicking "Yes" it should print the "corresponding record" from the ClaimReceiptForm.
I have a query that I am sending as a spreadsheet to various service technicians listing parts that they need to take inventory of. Then, after they take the inventory, they send the spreadsheet back to me and I upload their counts back into my database. Right now, my query contains the Bin number, part number, part description, and a blank column for the technician's count. I have just learned, that the company does not want the Bin number to be visible in the report. In order to upload the technician counts into the database when they return the spreadsheet, I need to be able to reference the Bin number to get the count on the right line.
Is there something that I can do so that the Bin number will be visible in the report when the database reads it, but not to the technician?
The only solution I could think of was to format the Bin Number as a password. Unfortunately, I can't get that to work in the query results. If I save the bin number as a password in the table, is there a way to make it visible on reports for internal use (so the people in headquarters who are responsible for over all inventory can still see each bin number)? I found how to hide the field in the query results. However, when I send the results to the technician, the field is not there at all.
I have a very large Access application and use a hidden "main switchboard" to store data such as the current customer ID. Prior to the advent of tempvars, I embedded a key control into many query's underlying combo boxes, list boxes and forms criteria:
"Forms![main switchboard]![currentcustomerid].
The problem arises when the user quits the application on with forms using this in their underlying query(ies). As far as I can tell, the application closes forms in the order in which they were opened, so the "main switchboard" closes first. Then, for some reason, the current form has a requery and the user is presented with a prompt to enter the parameter "forms![main switchboard]![currentcustomerid]. I tested and found I could replace the criteria reference to a tempvar to "fix" the problem. I wonder if there would be a way to open every query in design view and do a search and replace on the criteria statement.
I have a form with a button that pops up a datasheet with a number of records. I need the dbl click event to populate a hidden text field with the id of the item that was double clicked.
Ive found the double click even and can get the double click to close the window, but i need to populate the text field as well.
I have a combox with the following query in its RowSource: SELECT [Error Codes].[ID], [Error Codes].[ErrorCode], [Error Codes].[Active] FROM [Error Codes] ORDER BY [Error Codes].[ErrorCode];
I now need to change the query's Rowsource via code and so far I have figured out that this works:
However, the table "Error Codes Missing" also has a field called "Active" which I need to take into account; If the error code is not active then it should not show up in the combobox.
I know how to do that in the original RowSource, but how do I do it with code?
i have a form that shows payments (checks) that have been issued. sometimes those checks need to be voided and i want 2 fields (Updated By and Updated Date) to pop up when the payment distribution field is changed to a void status.
payment distribution: "I" for issued and "V" for void
i've gotten the On Change Event to work with VBA when the payment distribution changes from "I" to "V" and the 2 new fields pop up but if i exit the form and go back in to look at that record, the fields are gone. Is there a way to make the fields permanently if the payment is "V" on the form?
this is what i have so far for the On Change Event:
If [payment distribution] = "V" Then me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = True me.txt_UpdatedDate = True Else me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = False me.txt_UpdatedDate = False End If End Sub
I have a combobox on my form called TypeOfBusiness, with fields including Corporation, Education, Industry, Non-Profit. In order to make a second combobox called IndustryClassification appear when Industry is selected from the TypeOfBusiness combobox, I have used the following code:
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.TypeOfBusiness = "Industry" Then Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = True Else Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = False
[Code] .....
It works just fine. However, when a user selects both, say, Industry and Education, the IndustryClassification combobox will not appear. What code I can use to ensure the IndustryClassification box will appear regardless if another box is checked in addition to Industry? I am wondering if it has to do with the Column attribute.
I am receiving the following error while trying "get external data from Access to Excel". The purpose is to set up a pivot table from my access data. The error is as follows: "This data source contains no visible tables". Can anyone explain why I would recieve the error, when I have tables in my Access database? Thanks,
I have a Main Form with a Sub-Form, the sub-form is base off a query. on the sub-form i have 8 controls, one of them is "Status' and "Process" and "Review" My Main Form have a Refresh command that refreshes the data in the sub-form.
What i am trying to do is make the "Process" Control only visible is "Status" is a certain status and "Review" visible if "Status" is something else. what i have done works correctly On Open. I run into and issue on the refresh command. I get Run-time error '2165' "You can't hide a control that has the focus"
Code: If Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Status = "Ready" Then Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Process.Visible = True Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Review.Visible = False ElseIf Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Status = "Reviewing" Then Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Review.Visible = True Forms!Main_Form.[Name subform]!Process.Visible = False End If
I have done similar with a main form and making sub-form visible or not based on a control on a main form and that has worked perfectly. I am not sure how the control is getting focus and cause the error.
I am using an application that uses an Access database, and I believe the original database was created in the 97 version. The application queries the database and allows a person to view the data in the database to select a particular instrument to test. When the MS Office was upgraded by our IT we are no longer able to view the data in application. The fields, rows, and columns appear, but the numbers and letters are not visible. The data is really there, but can't be seen.
I have attached a screenshot of the view that shows the white columns and rows.
My question is how can I make data in a form visible or invisible just by a button. In other words, if I have a group of buttons, based on the button selected I would want certain data to appear.
I know that this is possible, I have seen it done but just cannot find out how to do it or what this is called to look it up in Helps.
I have a report with 4 subreports. The report contains calculated fields that use the totals field in the different sub reports.
My issue is when one or more of the subreports does not have data in it. The sub report dissapears while in print preview, removing the totals row and ruining the calculated fields in the main report.
How can I keep the sub report visible even if no data is displayed? Or have it invisible but have the calculated fields still reference.
I have a form with a subform. I would like to make a field on the subform not visible if a field on the primary field is null. Can anyone help? Thanks.
I have a split form in Access 2013. I have a checkbox in the top frame that if checked a textbox becomes visible. However, if I click on a different record and check the box and go back to the previous record, the textbox becomes invisible even though the checkbox is checked.
My code for the checkbox is Private Sub chkPhoneChange_Click() If chkPhoneChange.Value = True Then lblNewPhoneNumber.Visible = True txtUpdatedNumber.Visible = True Else: If chkPhoneChange.Value = False Then lblNewPhoneNumber.Visible = False txtUpdatedNumber.Visible = False txtUpdatedNumber.Value = "" End If
When opening the main form I would like to create a macro that is able to set the property visible/not visible for a certain field if a certain condition on another field is satisfied. I Have Office 2010 and with the macro editor I'm not able to make it work. Need writing the text as in the macro editor?
Here below the example:
Main form name: FORM_1 Subform name: SUBFORM_2 Subform field: FIELD_ABC Subform field: FIELD_123 Subform field: FIELD_CHECK
Opening the form FORM_1, the macro must show the field FIELD_ABC and hide the field FIELD_123 only if FIELD_CHECK is equal to "TEXT OK" ...and the macro must hide the field FIELD_ABC and show the field FIELD_123 only if the field FIELD_CHECK is equal to "TEXT WRONG".
I've got a memo field on a form where the name is TextEXTRA
The Control Source for TextEXTRA is EXTRA.
I've got a box called BoxSHOW (Visible = No)
As I browse through records or find records, I want the box to become visible when there is something in the EXTRA field and become invisible when the EXTRA field is empty. This is what I've tried .....
Private Sub Form_Current() If EXTRA Is Not Null Then BoxSHOW.Visible = True End If End Sub
I tried many variations on the first line such as ...
I've inherited an Access 2000 database that is used to enter and print various types of data. I am using Access 2010 and when I open it I am in a forms view for the main user interface. I want to see and/or edit the objects that make up this database but I can't find a way to see them. The navigation pane is not visible and using F11 doesn't open it. How can I see the database objects?
I have a form with four subforms set up in a tabs on the form. In the subforms I have a copuple of command buttons which enable/make visible fields when they are clicked (see previous posts but for eg) - if a height and a weight are added in two separate boxes a calculation is done and then a command button pressed to make visible the (label) which shows the mass index the patient falls into. My problem is that the label is then retained so if I click out of the form and re-enter with a new patient then the height and weight boxes are clear but the label from the previous patient remains.
I tried to put the code Private Sub Form_Load() If PtWeight = Null And PtHeight = Null And Text60 = Null Then Label106.Visible = False Label101.Visible = False Label177.Visible = False Label122.Visible = False Label123.Visible = False End If End Sub in both the open and on load event of the main form (not the subform) but it doesn't help. Any ideas?
(When should code be put on the main form and when on the subform?)
