I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
View RepliesI have a single form which becomes either readonly or editable or addnew using a circular toggle switch. The toggle switch is activated by a command button and the caption of the command button is used as the display of the mode.
The SetAddModeBt is a separate command button that initiates the add mode. The problem is that various form or field properties when defined on the fly are not stored and they get lost when you open the form again. Look at the code below:
Code:
Sub tglEditBt_Click()
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Circular toggle button to change display mode of the form
' ReadOnly - Edit - Add
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' On Error GoTo NotFound
Dim ForName As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim FMode As String
[Code] ....
Here the first two cases fail when executing the last statement saying it is not supported.
I ma going to sound a complete idiot with this question, but I have been working on a database for some time now, successfully putting buttons on forms with the wizard, jumping from form to form, form to report, basically the button wizard used to work now it doesn't and I don't think I have done anything stupid. (I hope). The wizard was brilliant, I'm lost without it. How do you restore it?
Thanks in advance guys. :confused:
Hi
I have a Visible form and an Invisible (visible=false) form open at the same time. Is it possible to use a button on the visible form to execute the code behind a button in the invisible form. The subroutine on the invisible form is Public. I tried DoCmd.RunCommand and a macro with RunCode but... nada...
(There is a valid reason for this approach but i will spare you the boring explanation. I can think of a work around where I can bypass this need, but this way is cleaner (there are cases where the invisible form is visible and used directly, the form has data which is sent to a report to create a label). I have done everything else with VBA code but for some reason can't get this to work, so now i am obsessed)
Thanks, this forum is really a gem!
I am trying to create command buttons with a picture (bmp) on it, and centering the label and the pictures in the middle. I selected bottom position for the label, but it seems to keep the pictures always aligned on the left.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an initial start up page where someone in any division can go and select their division from a combo box. What I want them then to be able to do is click one of the forms (New Entry,Edit Entry,.....).
For the form New entry I am looking to open the form with the division name to filled into a text box. I also would like to have that box that box also correspond to a field in a the table for a new entry.
I am making a database for some people I work with, I'm having trouble with making a button to work. I want a button to go to the next tab on the tab control, but still in the same record. I prefer not to use the vba, but if I need to use it
View 9 Replies View RelatedAccess 2013 People,where the command buttons are not displaying properly?Notice the words and images are nice and centered in the buttons. The buttons are all the same size.Now look at the same DB in Access 2013:
See how the buttons look bloated and the images and wording are not centered anymore. And working on it in design view is a nightmare! When you try to move the command button part of it is left behind every time to try to move it.You can turn the themes property to "Off" but I like the themes.
I made a Point of sale using a form with different sub-forms which have command buttons on it. They basically run a append query from tblStockMain to table cash and on to transactions. That works all fine no problem.
The one missing thing to make it sweet is to rename the command buttons automatically from tblStockMain. With other words, if I change a product in the table it would change the name on the button and the picture if possible with it.
Is there a way to do it?
I want to put command buttons in the Page Header, however the page header is not visible from form view?
What is the purpose of Page headers?
I have two command add buttons on my form that go to two separate tables. I also have a go to next record button as well. Is there a way that I can put all three commands under one command button? They are already coded in VBA and all work properly individually, I just want to make it smoother if possible ..

I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.

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...
I want to open a new form with information related to the main form.
The code I've used is:
Private Sub GoToContacts_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_GoToContacts_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contacts"
stLinkCriteria = "[Outside Rep]=" & Me![Outside Rep]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_GoToContacts_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_GoToContacts_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_GoToContacts_Click
End Sub
When I use the button I get an error message for a "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression.
Any suggestions?

Alright I give up. I searched the forums and read up but still not grasping it. I know I've done something like this before but my brain must be dead today.
So I have 4 important tables. I have a main one and 3 tables that have records related to the main one. They're all the "many" sides of the one to many relationship with the main table. Outline is below:
Main Table:
EMP_ID (Primary key)
...and other fields
Employment Table:
HIRE_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
Insurance Table:
INS_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
Skill Table:
SKILL_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields
So basically what I'm looking for is to have a main form pop up that has the Main table information (employee info). Then on that form I want 3 command buttons, each one going to a new form that relates to the three tables above and is relative to the Main table. Each employee may have several hire/fire listings, insurance listings (if they change their insurance), and skill ratings (updated as they improve). When I have set all my relationships so that the EMP_ID on the Main table has a one to many relationship with all the EMP_IDs on the other tables. When I create the command buttons though and start to populate a record in one of the three "subforms" the EMP_ID is not populating to be the same as the EMP_ID from the main page thus making me unable to create a record because it doesn't recognize a related record.
What the heck am I doing wrong
Working on a form and when using the wizard to add a command button or a txt box the wizard gives it a funny name like command989. Im wondering why? Where does this default come from and why is the number so high? There is no way anywhere near that number of command buttons on this form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form with command buttons that run different macro's that downloads queries into Excel.
What i would like to do if it is possible, is to somehow add an explanation of what the download will contain if the user should either hover over the button or even better if there was a way of adding ? box to the button so that the user could click on the ? and get a description of what will be downloaded.
I do have a very brief description on the button stating what it does but I would like to give the user a more detailed description of what is in the download.
Ok so the Data I have holds a hyperlink to a file this field is "basepath".In Form view I want to have a command button that reads the basepath (for that record) then opens said hyper link.

I have a form named CORRES_TYP with 3 text boxes and a list box. I also have a separate table with 3 field from where the information I put in the form was saved.
In my form whenever I put information on the textbox at hit add record button, these information are saved in my table and will reflect on the listbox on my form below the textboxes. Also if I select a record in the Listbox the record I selected will apprear on the corresponding textbox in the same form.
My problem is that I have been trying to create a command button that will save and change the existing record everytime I select an item in the list box and modify the information through the textbox. Here are some infromation about my table and form:
Table name = CORRES_TYP
Field 1 = CODE (Primary key, No Duplicates)
Field 2 = DESCRIPTION
Field 3 = FOLDER
Form name = CORRES_TYP
Textbox 1 = CODE
Textbox 2 = DESCRIPTION
Textbox 3 = FOLDER
Listbox name = LIST14
I have created Command buttons on forms with VBA code. Records GoTo previous and GoTo Next Record so both of working is good. But Next Record command is force to a new record. If suppose when we clicking on last record. It is go to new record without any message. So No need to force a new record with Next Record Command. Only just move to next record if there is no records show a message. Below mentioned both VBA codes so there is any changes on GoTo Next Record Code?
VBA Code:
Go To Previous Record : DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious
Go To Next Record : DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
I am designing a database to manage hospital patient data. I will have to enter info at various points, e.g. when a patient is referred, admitted, discharged...
So for example, I have a main form with the patient's name and two subforms, one with the referral details (e.g. date, name of referrer...), and one with the admission details (e.g. date, diagnosis). They are linked through Parent-child links to the main form by PatientID. So, when I enter a new PatientID in the main form, the ID in the subforms is automatically added/synchronized.
However, I would like it not to be...since not all patients that are referred are then admitted. Therefore I would like to have a command button in the main Form that allows me to control when a new patient record is added to the admission subform. In other words, I would like an "Add a new Record in the admissions subform" button, which then creates a new record, with matching PatientID in the admissions subform (and in the related table). Is this possible???
I have tried using the command button wizard but it either requires a record to be already present in the subform, or it takes me to the first record of the form, and not the matching PatientID one.
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
Is there a way to get a string from a field and use it to set the caption value for a command button at run time?
