Hi all
I have searched the forums and tried various options but I get an error message about the syntax.
The button is to run a SQL query to update a field by calculating on the value of a another field on the form. The query is
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE BatchPayments SET BatchPayments.[GST Amount] = (BatchPayments.[Net Amount]*0.1) WHERE BatchPayments.BatchPaymentsID=" & Me.BatchPaymentsID&";"
The error message is a compile error where it is expecting a list separator or ).
Probably simple but it has got me beat.
Any help will be appreciated.

I have a form which lists Employees (flds EmployeeID (pk), Surname etc.) and a form listing Absences (flds AbsenceID(pk), EmployeeID(fk), StartDate...etc.).
from the employee form, I want to use a command button that will take me to the Abscences form but auto insert the EmployeeID and then I can fill out the rest.
I tried the go to form command for the button but its only looking for existing absences with that ID?
can anyone help please?
much gratitude!

I would like to make a command button to change the font in a text field on a form.
Can any one give me an example of the code that I would use to do this? I would greatly appriciat it.
I am going round in circles here; I have a form which has certain text fields that need to be populated before a user can click a command button named 'Record Movement' that opens up another form. What I want to do is disable the 'Record Movement' button until these fields are populated. I am using Access 2010.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a "to_do" list in access. One of the field is the date the task was last completed. I want a button to update that date to the current date for the record that i am viewing on the form. Below is the code that I am using. When I click on my button, it updates the first record in my to-do table but not the current record displayed in my form.

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 2 Replies View RelatedI 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...
Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :
Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End
If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o
Hi,
I am very new to access. I have designed a db for my employer, but I can't figure out how to subtract one field from another without having it subtract fom all others.
My employer is a counselor and wants to know how many units are left per client. There are several diffent services available per client. (88K, 86H, 81H, ect) For instance I tried to use a query, but when it was subtracting
(number of units)-(number of used) It subtracted from all the different service types.
Then I tried to do it on the form and all I get is #Name?
I can email you a copy of the database with a mock client if i'm not explaing myself enough. I know it's probably something very simple and I would appreciate any help. Also, if you know of any good books or websites where I can learn more I'd appreciate the info. I'm learning from Access 2002 Bible.
I have a form with a textbox, listbox and a button.
my textbox is based on one of my tables, and when I enter a value (which is saved in my table) in my textbox and press enter, certain values in my table goes to my listbox, and my listbox will just additem whenever I do same thing in my textbox all overagain.
how can I subtract listbox.column(1) items in my table field "Item_Quantity" where my Listbox.column(0) is equal to my table field "Item_Description".
My Listbox column count property = 4
Row source type = value list
I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!
I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.
Pseudo code would go something like this.
Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID
Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously)
Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table
OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order
SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I, unfortunately, have been singled out as the Access guru in my work area. We have 223 people and the Information Manager has tasked me to modify a database he "found" to be able to track a number of things, but most important to him: performance reports.
I have posted the sample of what I currently have. What is being asked of me is a way in which to have a button or by double-clicking a block where a date would go for all other dates on the form to become non-visible while the current date stored in the computer the database is being worked from be entered in the block where the button or double-click happened. All this links to a report for the IM to be able to track what performace reports are out, and when they are due back to his section. He also wants me to be able to show which are overdue and where they are at. I am not sure if it is at all possible, but with me having spend most of last week purusing the articles on Access here, I know now that nothing is implausible if you happen to go about it the right way.
Since I have read the rules on posting, here is what I have done. I searched the forum for command button and got a lot of really cool ideas to use elsewhere in the database. I looked up the help in the program itself for command button, and got some good information on how a command button works, but I cannot make it put a date into a block. I can enter the date in any block that is a date format, but then I have dates in every block. He only wants to see the most current date in any of the blocks.
Any assistance at this point would be appreciated. If I have missed something in another thread, I apologise in advance.
how can i assign a formula to a command button?
also can anyone give me specific advice about calucalating the % of check boxes ticked across multiple records.
thanks in advance
A couple of weeks ago I asked the question of how to send a single record from one table to another (Archive table) using a command button. I got a response. I have had time to work with this a little. My problem is I keep getting a error message "Run-time error '3075'; Syntax error (missing operator) in Query expression "[New ID]='. I wanted to mention that the archive table has an "archive ID" field as well as "New ID" that links the tables. I have the following code. Please help with this if possible.
" Private Sub Command667_Click()
' Save the main record if it has not been saved.
If Me.Dirty Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
Me.Recalc
End If
If MsgBox("Do you want to archive this record?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Dim SQL As String
' Move main record to Grants Activity Archive.
SQL = "Insert into [Grants Activity Archive]" & _
" select * from [Grants] where [New ID]=" '" & Me.ID & "'"
CurrentDb.Execute SQL
Me.Recalc
End If
End Sub "
The error seems to refer to the & Me.ID section. I have tried putting Me.New ID and also Me.Archive ID. The Grants Activity Archives is the subform where I want the record to go. This subform is set up like a form with many fields so it is a lot of work to type the main record from the Grants table to the Grants Activity Archive table every time you want to archive a record. I hope that makes sense.
Hi all
Can any one correct my attached program to make it works with one command button only please?

How can I make command button on my DAP to use update query that I wrote? :confused:
Hi everyone,
This is perhaps a simple question for which I have not been able to find an answer to. I've been trying to create a form which contain command buttons, but the problem is that the look of these buttons are not similar to those found in Windows XP.
I know it’s purely cosmetic :cool: - but how do I make my buttons in Access 2003 to look like those on my Windows XP?
I've seen some samples here on these forums which have the 'XP' look. Any hints on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Sab.
Hi
I have a option group with 6 command buttons. The trouble is when you select a button, the button stays selected, so if you want to select it again you have to select another butoon then go back to it (hope this makes sence!). Is ther a way to re-set the button so it returns to un-selected mode!!!!
Thanks in advance!
Question One
I want to create a command button in the form view that once pressed opens a folder that contains a photograph. I assume that I need to use a hyperink but how is it done?
Question Two
When in the form view and I press a 'Find ' button that I created I want to have a combo box/list box on the find. The alternative to this is that the reader has to remember all of the subjects. With a combo box/list box, or similar, the user can scroll down the list and pick and choose the subject to search for.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance on either question.
Cheers.
