Pressing Enter After Entry Into Textbox
Jan 18, 2006
I have a textbox and a command button by this textbox that performs an action based on the value in this textbox when clicked.
I want to be able to press the enter key after entry into the textbox and have it perform the same thing the command button does.
I tried Calling the commndbutton procedure from the OnEnter event from of textbox, but it tries to process as soon as i "start entering data into the textbox".
I hope i am clear? How do i achieve this, so that by pressing the enter key after entering a value in my textbox, my textbox value is processed, instead of clicking the command button.
This is just to enhance usability. Any help will be mucho appreciatied :D

Hello,
...I don't know if this is easily possible or not, but here's my question/scenario: I am trying to create a form that allows me to (using a memo field) enter in the dialogue from a staff meeting. [This field will also be used for preparation for that very staff meeting]. I would prefer a method in which I can do a bulleted list, but if I can get a new line that would be sufficient for the day. In access, if you press enter - It tries to create a new record (I believe even if you aren't on the last field in the form, but that doesn't matter) I want to be able to press enter or shift-enter to be able to just make it go to a new line. Not a new record. Yes, I could do this in word and if this was the only thing I needed, word or it's equivalent would be the best method. But there is much more to this database concerning my needs so I want to stick with one application.
So there's my question - If there is some other method of getting a new line please tell me, I'd love to hear. ;)
Thanks,
---roystreet
I just found out that you can use ctrl-enter for a carriage return.
I would still like to know if there would be a way (maybe via coding) to make the enter key do it?

I have a form which contains several controls and a listbox. I have set the Default setting to yes for a command button that returns the results of the search, so when i click the Enter key on any control (with the exception of other command buttons), the result is returned.
Question: I want to prevent the Default command button from activating when pressing Enter from the listbox.
I thought of using the KeyDown event with this code
If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
'do something
End If
but i can't get it to disregard the default
Suggestions?

I have a form that has a textbox in it. I enter text into the text box by scanning a bar code. I then use openreport.cmd to pass the variable in the text box to the report I generate. The report then has a button that when clicked references the variable that I passed to it.
Essentially the problem I am having is that when I set the textbox back to blank, it also erases the contents of the new variable created. I want to either delete the value from the textbox upon scanning the bar code each time, or highlight the value in the textbox for it to be deleted upon the first key stroke. I had read about setting focus to the textbox, but I have been unable to get that to work. Here is my current code for what I am doing.
Code in the form:
stPartNum = Me.ScannerTxt
Label = stPartNum
DoCmd.OpenReport "RptLabels", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal, stPartNum
Code in report button:
partnum = Me.OpenArgs

what I have is a password entry popup, it's very simple and there is only one password, so it's coded into the form.There is an unbound text box for the password, set with the password input mask.An OK button and an Exit button.The OK button has this code on the 'On Click'
Code:
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
If IsNull(passwordentry) Then
passwordentry = "*"
End If
[code]...
Now what I want it to do is automatically move to the OK button when the correct password is entered, so that you can just hit Enter.Currently you either have to press the OK button with your mouse, or hit Enter to move to the OK button and then press Enter again to activate it.

Any way (VBA script, etc) to make it mandatory for a user to enter data in a textboxes in a form before proceeding to the next record on a form? I know I am able to do this in the table by selecting the value "Yes" in the Required area in the General Tab but I was wondering if there is a VBA script you can enter it in a form instead.
On attachment is an Access Database in winzip. In the __Property form, I want to make it madatory for users to enter data in the County Shapefile Gross Acres, Township, Mineral Severance Tract, and Unit name fields before proceeding to a new record. If data is not entered in these textboxes for these field, then a person will not be allowed to go to the next record.

I have a date entry textbox.
The user is copying a date from an old form.
Sometimes the form will have the date entered as 00/00/97
How can I change the month and day to 01/01 and of course leave the year as it was.
I've tried using split with no success.

Being dealing with my database and having quite some trouble with it. Is it possible to track down what the users did, during the time they login into, database, is it possible to prompt users for password and username when they buttons for like, delete cmd, or update command.
Just a breif idea on what im trying to do.(hopefully it won't confused you all)
Im trying to created a 2 main username. One is for admin group and another is for users group. Then users can login in to database, however whenever the users update or delete entries in the database, the user will prompt for their username and password (not the users group login ). Is it possible to build a table to store in the username and password for the prompting purposes one.
Sorry for confusing question. Actually im trying to think of another way, but for now this complicated event all i have think of. Feel free to voice your suggestion here. Thanks alot. TQ

So I have created this database for a lessons learnt system. Is it possible in Access 2007 to create a button that if pressed automatically sends an email out to someone? So my main form in the database is a split form which contains a search filter, which works well and also contains a button called add new lesson. This button is linked into another form and when pressed brings up this new form. In this form it has a save and close button. What I actually would like is when the form is updated and this save and close button is pressed, an email is sent to a "project head" who has to confirms the information before the data is saved into the database. Is this actually possible?

Hi there,
I am stuck for over a week now, and tried just about everything I am capable off ...
I have two forms: COMP (where I fill in fields for Company Table) and PERS (where I fill in fields for Person Table).
On the COMP-Form I have a button, named: 'Add Person/Employee to Current Company'.
The two tables (Company and Person) are linked by PK - FK (PK_CompanyID & FK_EmployedAtID).
I can't get it to work properly.
The PERS-form must be filled with the company info I filled in the form COMP, after I press the button.
But the PERS-form also must be filled out normally (not via COMP, but seperately), choosing the company in the comboboxfield 'Company Name' on the PERS-form. Do you stick with me?
So I want to start the PERS-form with the filled in company Info by pressing the button.
And I want to be able to start the Form seperately (which I can off course) and choose the company myself , by selecting the right company in the combobox.
I have a attachment sent with this.
Can someone look at this for me, and explain what I am doing wrong.
I tried to do it with a autofill macro, and with some code ...
I just don't seem to get it right.
Thanx in advance for all the help,
Quinten

I have a form (Pipeline) with an on load event that automatically directs the user to a new empty record.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
Now my problem is that I am trying to design a 'search form' that will allow the user to look up a specific record in the main form by pressing a command button. Creating the search form is easy enough. I cannot figure out how to override the on load event in the main form when pressing the command button.
As it is right now, the button opens the form and then go directly to a new record.
