I have created a form in Access 2010 that opens in view only mode. I do this as I do not want data being changed in error. There are times when the user may need to edit some data on the form.
Any way to place an "Edit" button on the form that allows the user to edit the current record? I thought about creating two sepasrate forms, but I really don't want to maintain two of them.
I seen this awhile ago. And I was interested i knowing does anyone know where I can get an example of this. I saw what looked like a datasheet but on the right side of the datasheet there was an edit button. So every field on the datasheet had an edit button which opened up the specific row in a form layout. Can someone

The Bdown subform allows edits without having to click the "btn_Edit" on the main form "Handover".
Is is possible to make the edit button on "Handover" control the edit function on "Bdown" also?
Currently "Handover" contains:
Code:
Private Sub btn_Edit_Click()
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.btn_Edit.Caption = "Editing"

I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...
Hello,
When I attempt to open any of my Access databases I am presented only with the form that has been selected as the 'startup' option. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to switch to 'design' view and my only options on the toolbar are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Windows, Help. As far as I can tell, none of these enable me to select the options required to give me my entire database back.
I am something of an Access novice, so if the above problem seems familiar to anyone i'd be grateful for the solution! The help option within MS Access hasn't been particularly useful.
Many thanks,
David
I have a form I open in “Read Only” mode (via a macro). I’d like to add a button to the form that would allow editing of the record (i.e., the default would be "read only" unless the button is clicked).
Thanks,

I am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form

I am working on Data entry form where a user can enter the details in the form and save and go ahead, its a single form in default view. I want to provide an edit button with navigation control in this form only where they can edit their wrong record for update.

I created a form called cptSearch
On that form has a list box
What i want to do is when user clicks on cpt in list box and clicks on the edit command button it will open the frm called frmcpt so user can edit details for the specific cpt code
Any Ideas
I have a mainform with a listbox and a subform sitting in the mainform. The default view of mainform is single. The listbox displays a list of people. When the user clicks on a row of the listbox the subform shows detailed data about that person. The layout of the subform covers almost half of the area of the mainform. It works except that the subform automatically takes table view as if there were many records to display although it displays only the selected record. This automatic manipulation of the default view does not look good at all.

I am using Access 2013 (but I assume that the solution for Access 2010 will apply).
Here is the situation:
1. I have a simple datasheet form with three columns
2. I need to adjust the column widths so that all the text is visible
3. When I adjust the column widths, save the form, close the form, and re-open the form, the column widths reset
4. I need the column widths to either 1) stay the same as they previously were, or 2) be wide enough to fit all the text in each field
Is it possible to change to bold font the text column of a datasheet view?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
I have a form with three text boxes and one command button
I want to hide the command button from view until at least one of the boxes has data in it. I also want the command button to return to hidden if the data is removed
So far I have tried this on the after update event on one zof the text boxeswith absolutely no success.
Code:
If Me.txtFirstName = "" And Me.txtLastName = "" And Me.txtSocialInsuranceNumber = "" Then
Me.cmdAddNewClient.Visible = False
Else
Me.cmdAddNewClient.Visible = True
End If
Anybody ever heard of this before? I open a form, and it is empty, just a blank window. I open the same form in Design View, all appears well. :mad:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have taken over an Access database and I need to be able to add a delete button to every row in a detail view.
The rows contain a filename and a hyperlink which are pulled from an MS Sql server table.
I need to be able to put a small delete button at the end of each row which, when clicked will delete the relevant entry. How can I achieve this.
I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
I added several records in another table but it wont show the records until I press the Refresh button at the ribbon of Home-> Refresh. How can i view the records automatically without pressing the Refresh button?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form, the view of which is continuous forms.
It has information on the left of the screen which the user is expected to manually match to information on the right, based on the suggestion of the underlying query (based on table a and table b)
E.g.
Client A $200 <button> Mr Smith $200.00
Client B $100 <button> Mr Smith $100.01
There is a button "match me" which when clicked runs an update query.
My query is how do I change the caption on the "match me" button to say "matched" just for the one that is clicked? Because it is a continuous form, if I use Command1.Caption = "Matched" or Me!Command1.Caption = "Matched" it changes it for all the buttons on the form.
Many thanks.
Is it possible that once the command button "Send Cost Request" in red is pressed it will change to green?
