Queries :: Enable Or Disable Criteria In A Query Based On Value Of Textbox?
Apr 20, 2015
Is there a way in access, through vba or any other means, which would allow me to either enable or disable criteria in a query based on the value of textbox??
Like i have a query that displays bookings customer has made between two dates, so i made a query and in the starting and ending date fields i get the value from form. In case if the use does not enter ending date, i would like to run the query with starting date only that displays booking made after the starting date.
Currently the starting date criteria is set to a textbox of form, and so is ending date. So if customer selects 1st April 2015 as starting date and 30th April 2015 as ending date the query should display the bookings between 1st and 30th of April. And if the user enters only 1st April in starting date it should display bookings starting from 1st April onward.
I have 44 checkboxes, each has a textbox next to it. What I want is when the user selects a checkbox, the textbox next to it will be enabled. Also, when the user unselect a checkbox, the textbox next to it will be disabled and any value entered is cleared.
Another way is whenever the user enters a value in a textbox, the checkbox associate with it is selected and vice versa.
I'm trying to have a button in a form that, when clicked, will time stamp a text box already formatted for time. But once the text box is filled with a time, the button then disables itself for that record.
If I switch to another record where the text box is empty, the button will enable itself without closing the form, but obviously re-disable itself if I go to a record the text box is filled.
I'm sure I could use conditional formatting for it, but I don't think I'm going about it the right way. I already got a basic button built to timestamp.
Need some help here! I have a table where different types of records are recorded. Let say for argument's sake my tblMain looks like this:
RecID (autonumber) EntryType (Combo box linked to my tblEntryType) Field1 (text) Field2 (text)
I then have tblEntryType which lists the different types of entries to be made and which fields are required on my form and what the lables should be. The structure looks more or less like this:
On my form, my record source is tblMain. When my user makes a selection in the combobox EntryType, there is a lot of code behind the AfterUpdate function like this:
I find this setup a bit labour intensive, especially as my form has quite a few fields! Is there a way that I can "look up" which fields are required from the table and enable/disable and label based on my tblEntryTypes without me having to creating so much code/use the "column" function.
Let me know if I am not making myself clear and I will be glad to try explain so more!

im trying to enable/disable checkboxes based on a combobox selection for instance,
i make the selection in a combo box called terms and conditions. i want it then to only enable the business,domestic and summary check boxes for that type, with the onther check boxes staying disabled. is there a way this can be done through code like the statement "only enable if this letter type selection has been selected"
I am trying to use a textbox value as a query criteria using the code [Forms]![Home]![mtdDateBox], following the standard structure of referencing a form item. However, I am not returning any records, when it should be giving some. The data in the textbox follows the date format "DD.MM.YYYY" but is used as a string.
Is there something I am missing out? I am using MS Access 2010
And it works great, I click a button next to the record I want to select (records displayed on continuous form) and it opens the Lead Details form on that particular record.
However now I am trying to accomplish the same thing, except instead of a continuous form I need to draw from a continuous sub-form. The form "BrokerMgmt" contains a sub-form named "BrokerSearch." The RecordSource for the sub-form is set once the user enters data into a few textboxes on the main form and clicks the search button:
Code: Private Sub brkSearch_Click() Dim argCount As Integer On Error GoTo Err_Handler If IsNull(brkFirstName.Value) And IsNull(brkLastName.Value) And IsNull(brkCompany.Value) Then MsgBox "You Need To Select Some Values", vbCritical, "Lead Tracking"
[Code] ....
The sub-form then displays basic info such as Name, Company, State, and the "BrokerID" which is the primary key of the "Broker" table. This "BrokerID" is displayed in "Textbox 20" so I set a button next to each result to on_click perform the procedure:
Code: DoCmd.OpenForm "BrokerDetails", acNormal, "Point_To_Broker2", , , acDialog, """" "Point_To_Broker2" is set up in the same style as "Point_To": Field: BrokerID Table: Broker Criteria: [Forms]![BrokerSearch]![Text20]
However instead of the BrokerDetails form opening to the appropriate record I get a msg box asking for a parameter. Why is this? Even if I enter the correct BrokerID as the parameter it still gives me an error saying you can't go to the specified record.
I have a simple report which i open from a navigation form, i have a textbox in the report i wish to use as criteria, on start the report will be blank until i enter a name into the textbox and requery. However im not sure how to link this and how to stop access asking for this information before the report is opened?
Here is my problem: When a certain yes/no box is true (checked) other fields on the form are not enabled. That works just find when I am on the record that I click the yes/no field. When I go to another record and then go back to the previous record the fields that should be disabled due to a certain yes/no box being true are now enabled and not disabled. Below is my code. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
On searching the forum, I found the following post for enabling/disabling BypassKey. I did as instructed but on clicking the label, it gives 'syntax error with 'On Error Goto' in red color and highlighted.
Hello af1112 welcome to the Forum...
I use this code that ghudson supplied at the beginning of this post.
First of all create a copy of your db (Just incase.. )
Now......
Create a label on a form somewhere and make it invisible to other users (I have mine hidden in my main Switchboard)
The idea is that by clicking on the label you can activate/de activate the code without anyone else knowing about what you are doing..
Name the label "bDisableBypassKey" & hide it somewhere in the corner of your screen or something.
Copy & Paste the code inbetween the bold text to the onclick event of the label you have just created
Private Sub bDisableBypassKey_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_bDisableBypassKey_Click 'This ensures the user is the programmer needing to disable the Bypass Key Dim strInput As String Dim strMsg As String Beep strMsg = "Do you want to enable the Bypass Key?" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "Please key the programmer's password to enable the Bypass Key." strInput = InputBox(Prompt:=strMsg, Title:="Disable Bypass Key Password") If strInput = "MY PASSWORD" Then 'Change password to your own ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", DB_BOOLEAN, True
Beep MsgBox "The Bypass Key has been enabled." & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Shift key will allow the users to bypass the startup options the next time the database is opened.", vbInformation, "Set Startup Properties" Else Beep ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", DB_BOOLEAN, False
MsgBox "Incorrect ''AllowBypassKey'' Password!" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Bypass Key was disabled." & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Shift key will NOT allow the users to bypass the startup options the next time the database is opened.", vbCritical, "Invalid Password" Exit Sub End If Exit_bDisableBypassKey_Click: Exit Sub Err_bDisableBypassKey_Click: MsgBox "bDisableBypassKey_Click", Err.Number, Err.Description Resume Exit_bDisableBypassKey_Click
End Sub
Now paste this code in the Double click event of the same label
Private Sub bDisableBypassKey_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Private Sub Disable_Click() Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function ChangeProperty(strPropName As String, varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Integer
Dim dbs As Object, prp As Variant Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
Set dbs = CurrentDb On Error GoTo Change_Err dbs.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue ChangeProperty = True
Change_Bye: Exit Function
Change_Err: If Err = conPropNotFoundError Then ' Property not found. Set prp = dbs.CreateProperty(strPropName, _ varPropType, varPropValue) dbs.Properties.Append prp Resume Next Else ' Unknown error. ChangeProperty = False Resume Change_Bye End If
End Function
To Test click on your label to activate the password prompt and type in the wrong password (that will now disable the bypass key) and you will not be able to open the db by holding down the Shift button
to disable enter the correct password and you will be able to use the Shift button
Hi there I am new to Access and I am currently modifying an existing DB. Currently this DB has a main table which holds a bunch of Patient info such as:
Name Age AssignedStaff Condition etc....
The assigned staff field is populated from another table (Staff), which holds all the staff members working at the institution. However a couple of these individuals have left and they no longer want their name to show up on the form when inserting a new record. However we do want there name to still be in the DB for historical reporting purposes......My intital thought was to create another field in the Staff table that would hold either a "Active" or "Inactive" entry. Then just have a simple If statement to see if the staff member is active or inactive. Does anyone see any problems with this solution or propose a more efficient method.
I am creating a data entry form with combo boxes related to two different tables: TblEducationID EducationID - Auto# PK Education - Text TblMediaFill MediaFillID - auto# PK Incubation Time- text Incubation Temp - text
In my form, I have a combo box that the user selects the Education Type (Media Fill Test; Aseptic Technique Observation, Watch Video, etc....)
I want the incubation time and temp text boxes to be disabled unless Media Fill Test (ID#4) is selected on the first combo box. (I get a Procedure Declaration does not match error.)
Private Sub EducationID_AfterUpdate() If EducationID = 4 Then IncubationTime.Enabled = True IncubationTemp.Enabled = True Else IncubationTime.Enabled = False IncubationTemp.Enabled = False End If
Private Sub A300_Completed_AfterUpdate() If A300_Completed = True Then A300_Date.Enabled = False User1.Enabled = False Else A300_Date.Enabled = True User1.Enabled = True End If End Sub
for some reason when creating a new record the above disabled/enabled fields retain the same property of the last records check? The form in a single (not a continuous)
Hello. I have a form with a million little buttons on it (don't get me started, I didn't design it! - heh)...
Depending upon which user is running the mdb, I would like all but 16 (of the 80 or so) objects/controls disabled/enabled. I would like to autodisable all the controls, then enable the subset (or all of them) depending who the current user is.
SO in short, other than individually disabling/enabling the many items, is there a magic command for vba, similar to enable *.* for controls [silly e.g., but I hope you get my point...]
Hi guys, I have a huge problem with a table I'm currently making and I was hoping you could help.
I have created a field in one of my tables using a Combobox lookup that only allows users to enter one of two options. What I want to do is restrict the other fields that a user can enter data into based on the their selection in the lookup field.
i.e if they select the first option then they can see and enter data into a few additional fields (but not others). Likewise if they select the second option they see/dont see other fields.

Hi. Lets say i have a (Yes/No) combo box and a text box. I have it so if my combo box says Yes the text box must become enabled so i can type in it. The problem comes in when I goto a new record, the combo box is still enabled. I have tried putting the text box to disabled in form_load, but then when I go back to view other records the text box is disabled and the combo box is already set to Yes.
How do i overcome both these problems at the same time ??
I accidently unchecked the "allow full menus" option in Tools - Startup. When I did that, the menu bar at the top of my database no longer displayed the "Tools" option.
Does anyone know how I can restore the full menus option?
I am new to access and can do nothing with my database until I get my menus back.
Hello, I would be very greatful if someone could help me. I have a Combo box called "COM01" which i want it to control the enable function of 3 Text Boxes TXT01,TXT02 and TXT03. When COM01 dropdown menu is used and field No is selected i want the 3 Text Boxes above to be set to Enable (False). The reverse when option Yes is selected is required for the same Text Boxes Enable (True) I will be adding the code to the Change() of the COM01 properties I have tried to use Case statments without success. Any help is greatly needed
The following code governs whether two fields are enabled/disableddependent on a selection made in a frame with 4 radio buttons. All are bound controls.
The first time that you select an option it's fine and the fields disable correctly, however, when I close the form and then go back into it the controls that should be disabled are enabled. I have to reselect the appropriate radio button to enable/disable the fields again.
Hi, bit of a noob here. I've searched for a while but I can't find anything related.
I have a data entry form that auto recalls the last entry that was made in it. I did this in an effort to speed up data entry. Anyways, here is the code I use.
Private Sub Investigator_AfterUpdate() Investigator.DefaultValue = "'" & Investigator.Value & "'" End Sub
Now the problem is that I want to be able to enable and disable this event proceedure with a check box. Is there a way to do this?
