I have a query with an url to an specific image.
I would like to display that image in a listbox where i display the rest of the data of that record, but I do not know if it's even possible.
I found this: Show Small Preview Picture in Access 2013 List Box On Click
but it does nothing.
Could you help me please?
Thank you in advance.
I have created a tabbed main form with sub forms. I set one of the tabs visibility properties to invisible and use a command button to open said form. When I open the subform with command button and enter data, the data does not save to the form but does save to the table. The reason I am using this method is that the sub form is a log and it is easier for the users. The Master Child fields are correct and so are the table relations. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you is advance for any assistance. Oh and I am using 2016
Not sure if it's the issue or not but consider looking at the Forms Property Sheet and double check that you have Data Entry set to "No" and all the "Allow" properties set to yes.
Quick question to do with Microsoft access. I've only been using it for about a week, so theres a lot i dont know.
I have a form with a sub form in it. In the sub form there is a combo box. When the user selects a value in the sub form combo box, i want the mainform's textbox to show what the user picked from the combo box.
I dont think it should be very hard to do, i just have no idea of what the code should be. Thank you in advance!
You can use the After Update event of the subform combo and refer to the main form as Me.Parent. Your code might look like this:
Me.Parent.txtTextBox = Me.cboCombo
I want to create a navigation button on a web form. (I use MS Access 2010 - Web database). I dragged the button on the form (the Control Wizard option is selected) but the Command Button Wizard does not show up
I double clicked on the button, but it just let me to edit button name. I also tried to click anywhere on the form - still nothing
How do I show Command Button Wizard Menu for my "Command120" button??
You have to enable the control wizards first. Go to the drop-down arrow at the end of the control group on the design ribbon and select use control wizards. Then insert the button again.
I had the same issue. I created the button the form in design mode and this seemed to get it working in layout mode again.
After all of the answers above, I still could not get it to work. What appears to be the problem in my case is that the wizard will not work inside of sub-forms. The solution is to:
Open the sub-form directly instead of designing it inside the parent form.
or
Create the button on the parent form, then cut or paste it to the
sub-form.
So this is a really old question and but I have found out the answer to the problem and will share in hopes that it may help someone in the future.
If the form is a "Web Form" the control wizards do not work. It must be a standard form. As far as I can tell there is no indication of this anywhere. To see the difference see the image below.
The form on top is a regular form and the one whereas the one on the bottom with the little globe is a web form. In order to create this kind of form Go to the create Tab and DO NOT select the options in the menu. You must select blank form from the Client Forms drop down as shown below.
There you will find the option to create forms that don´t have the little globe and those are the forms that work with the control wizards. Hope this helps someone else! This was a real pain to discover.
Enable the "Use Control Wizards" At Design tool tab.
Then add the button to Design are.
That's all
Make sure your wizard button in the drop down arrow is on if it is turn it off and then turn it back on then recreate your button. That worked for me in a layout view. Good Luck!!
If Sandy's answer didn't work for you, try to switch first to Layout View then proceed.
It worked for me.
I actually landed here looking for a solution. While I didn’t find it here I did figure out what I was doing wrong.
The action wizard only works with boundControls. So the area you are trying to use is not connected to a relevant table or field.
1st off make sure that you have the wizard activated/Turned on then proceed.
Option 1 [From LayoutView]
I was able to get the wizard to work by 1st deleting the button.
Then delete the cell you are dropping the button onto.
Then I stretched the cell with a field name to the right where I wanted my button.
Then I split the fields Horizontally.
Last I dropped the button on the cell I just created adjacent to the field & voilà the wizard came-up.
Option2 [From DesignView]
Again remove what isn’t working 1st. Then drop the button where you want. The wizard should pop right up. The button won’t be where you wanted it to be, but you can always move it once you get it setup.
I read that you tried it in DesignView & it worked, but crashed Access & you lost your Macros, so just a reminder to everyone try this with a copy or test db.

I am trying to figure out how to make pop-up sub form the only available focus for a user in a database. So that the user is essentially forced to complete/save/close the sub form, before they can return to the parent form. This I imagine involves disabling the parent form and trying to keep it at the bottom of the pile so to speak.
Im trying to do this in vba as a public subroutine, unfortunately I'm not getting very far! It would seem to me that this type of functionality would be quite common place when pop up forms are used, am I overlooking a common feature?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Very simple:
DoCmd.OpenForm kfrmArt,acNormal,,,,acDialog
This will stop all processing the next lines until your form closes.
You can also set the form's modal property to true. Here is documentation on it:
