Hide Fields On A Form Dependant On Contents Of Txt Box?
May 16, 2005
Hi,
How can I get access to hide certain fields or controls on a form if a certain field has no data?
Allow me to explain further:
I have a form that displays data = frmPlantMain
and a associated image = Image1
The image is stored outside of the db as a jpeg and the field in the record source table (Image1) contains a link to the image. For example: C:databasePicture1.jpg
There is also a hidden text box that contains the message "No Image available" = lbl_NoPix
This would be displayed in place of the image if no image has been inserted.
I also have a seperate "insert new image" command button = cmdInsertPic
If the current record has a image then I want to have the controls Image1,lbl_NoPix & cmdInsertPic hidden. This seems fairly easy but it gets more complicated now.
If there is no image I would like these controls visable so that the user can add a new image. I would then need the record to be requiried or refreshed to reflect the fact that a new image has been added.
This is where I fall down - I do not know how to tell access to look at the field in the table (Image1) and if there is no linked or associated image then set the visable propertys of controls a,b & c on the form to true.
I hope I have explained my problem correctly and I thank you for your time in advance.
I have created a database that is used to track various programs that our organisation runs, and keeps a record of which Division the program is in.
at the moment I have a main form which has a combo box that lists Divisions, then I have a subform that has a combo box on it that lists the purchasers.
what I would like to do, is to have the Purchasers list update when a Division is selected in that main form, as depending on which Division is chosen the contents of the Purchasers list changes drastically.
I am trying to hide certain fields on a form based on the value in another field (if yes or no). I used the change event to enable/disable the fields in question. however, this doesn't work. This is the code below...
Private Sub Combo314_Change() If Me.Combo314 = "Yes" Or Me.Combo314 = "No" Then Me.Reason_Label.Visible = False Me.Combo316.Enabled = False Me.Label946.Visible = False Me.Label77.Visible = False Me.care_not_qualified_date.Enabled = False
I have one main form with 3 tabulated sub forms. My main form consists of two fields. When the user clicks tab 2 (subform 2) or tab 3 (subform 3) the main fields should hide
I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.
I hava a small dbase in which we store address information. Now you have a visit address, a mailing address and billing adress.
I want to use some buttons which trigger macro's to fill in these "Secondairy" addresses FROM the visit adress.
So a buttun that says: copy billing address from visit address. and then the street, Number, PO box en city will be copied from the visit address to the billing address.
It's probably possible through a macro but I'm having a hard time coming up with the syntax. Or it there an easier way? :confused:
I have a list box containing various items. I would like to have another field return a numeric value depending on what is selected in the list box. For example, if Closed is selected from the list box, the other field would return a 1. How can I do this. The new field also needs to be linked to a table so the values are saved in the table. Thanks for the help.
I have main form and that has one sub-form , this Main form governs/determines the data in the sub form.
This Sub form ( DataSheet Mode) has approximately 130 columns and based on the Main form criteria only ~ 20 columns has to be filled.
What I want to do is based on the main forms criteria I want to show only the columns that are applicable to main form criteria.
If I use Columnar or Tabular single form for the Sub Form I am able to hide the fields that are not required BUT IT LEAVES A SPACE/GAP on form ( for the hidden fields that are not required)
Private Sub Form_Load() If Forms!frmShowPIforActiveAndCanAddNewPI!FrmSubFrmFi lterProductInformationPerFMT!CASETIF = True Then
Me.CASETIF.Visible = True Else Me.CASETIF.Visible = False End If End Sub
And If I use DataSheet and hide ( visible = no) a particular filed it still shows up in Sub Form
Is there a way to Auto-Re Arrange all the fields in the sub form so that the hidden ( visible = no) fields no not leave gap
Or is there a way by VBA program to select fields ( Columns) from a table to be displayed on a sub form based on a criteria
I have a repair database which I'm working on. On the main WIP form there is a subform stating the faults which have been logged against that unit. The unit can be scrapped at any time by hitting the SCRAP button, but if the unit has had it's faults successfully repaired, then it can then be FINALISED which means it can be shipped to the customer.
I need to be able to check the records in the subform, to look for faults which have not been repaired. When they are repaired, the text "PASS" will be present in the TEST_RESULT field. I want to be able to check the TEST_RESULT field for each fault to ensure they are all a PASS before I allow the unit to be FINALISED. Any ideas how I can do this? Or am I taking the wrong approach?
I'm an excel user and in using excel I can take two fields and combine their data in one field. I've got about 6 database files with anywhere form 1000 to 3000 records that have already been prepared and imported into access database files .mdb and I realize that the firstname lastname fields need to also be combined into a contact field with both names. In Excel it's easy in access I'm a little lost. I was looking to an update query however I can't find instructions on what I'm trying to do.
I have a field called "Bad Pc Part" which is a listbox. THe problem is I want it to display the contents of 3 other fields from another table.
I created a query for the Bad Pc Part field but the problem is it only displays the information in the first field of the table. It doesnt show the contents of the other columns. I need it to do this.
Sounds Impossible But i believe there must be a genius out there to solve this
I was wondering if there is a way to stop displaying fields on a form which contain spaces or blank values. I m using a query that takes data from a table named School
I have a table which have 5 fields. lets say: Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5
My fields from 1 to 3 have data but field4 and field5 do not have a value in it. What i wish to achieve is to show only those fields which have a value in it. Blank or field with spaces must not be displayed. Is It Possible.
This is complicated! I need to be able to have user run 5 different queries, I think, and have the results from those queries show up one under the other on one form footer. Ex. fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range
Each of the rows would be based on a different query. Also, part of the query has a date range, and I would like to have the Date Range from query show up next to each row.
I have a query that selects different values from different tables.The values of these fields change all the time and I would like the result of my query to exclude - hide the fields that are zero. However, I only want to hide the specific zero fields not the hole record.Non zero fields should still be visible.
I have a continuous form. Is it possible to hide a particular field in one record only. Where I put in front of each record checkbox, which is hidden for example field (age).
I have a query which contains about 19 fields in it and some of the fields contain parameters. What I'm trying to do is to run the query using the parameters I've set, but at the same time remove fields that are empty (therefore only fields that are populated will be shown). I've tried using the 'is not null' parameter but it seems to interfere with the other parameters that I've set and as a result the query doesn't show any information. Also the field containing the 'is not null' parameter is still being shown. I'm not really sure what else to try!! Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!
I am working on a database. I created a list box (ListBox) that filters record for a form. This list box is controlled by another field (SearchBox) where I type search string.
The ListBox visibility is hidden when the form loads. It only becomes visible when the user starts to type in the SearchBox. The records gets filtered and when the user clicks on the selection, the form goes to the record and the ListBox becomes hidden again. All this works fine. My problem is for some technical reasons I want the ListBox to show only when there is character in the the SearchBox. When I try to type in the SearchBox the ListBox shows but when I try to clear the SearchBox with backspace the ListBox is still visible
I tried:
Code: If me.SearchBox = Null Then me.ListBox.Visible = False Else me.ListBox.Visible = True
I also tried
Code: If IsNull (SearchBox) Then
Still when I type backspace the ListBox remains visible.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I put this code on the current event of the SearchBox Field.
I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then Me.Provider.Enabled = False Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc. Else Me.Provider.Enabled = True Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc. End If End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?
I have a form that I would like to embed some text that is queried from the internet. I'd like to have a part of this form display this "quote of the day" info in a textbox, and im not sure how to do it.
The link to access the quote is through javascript: <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.quoteworld.org/quotes.js"></script>
I'm a new Access user and i couldn't figured out how to implement the following:
- I've got a form with buttons on it. These buttons refer to different querries which either displays or changes specific data on the predefined table.
- With a text box (or another thing) I want the user to enter a table name, so that the querries gain portability to work table-independent.
Briefly this is what i want;
-- User should enter a text -- This text should be used to change the TABLENAME in each of the querry
But I don't know how :(
Is there anyone who has time to explain this implementation in detail??
I have 12 folders (User1 - User12) located in "c:users..." When I select a UserName from a combo box in a form e.g. User3 , a list of all files with extensions ".doc" in the respective directory (c:usersuser3*.doc) should render with a hyperlink to the file / s.
I have tried variouse "Select Case" and "FileSearch, FoundFiles" scripts, to no avail.
I seem to be having an issue with a split form I've been working on. I created this split form on Monday and it was working just fine but today, I have added a couple minor text boxes. Since then, I can view the form contents in Design View but when I switch to "Form View" or "Layout View", it's all gone minus the logo in the top left corner and the title for the split form.
I have a field on a form that is the results of a dlookup to a table.field. I want the value to be updated when I execute a button that is running a macro. How do I do this automatically, and not have to hit the refresh button?
I am trying loop through a datasheet so that I can copy the contents of one field into another form.
I have tried using the bellow code to do this on a button click event. However when i run it I get an error telling me that the object doesn't support this property or method. Im not quite sure what this means.
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = Forms![Roll Out - Site Form]![Roll Out - Sign items pick list].RecordsetClone Do Until rst.EOF [Roll Out - Sign items added].Form![Code] = [Roll Out - Sign items pick list].[Form]![Item Category]
