I want when the checkbox or button (both at the top of this screen) is checked, it does not show the items that are "Canceled" or "Received" in the Status column.
Items names:
status search box is called "S_Status"
status dropdown menu is called "Status"
the dropdown option is pulled from Query "N_Q_PlacingOrders_Status" which pulls from Table "N_T_Placing Orders_Status".
Checkbox name is "CheckBox"
I tried the code below but I know I am missing a couple things that I have not been able to find in other blogs/forums.
Private Sub CheckBox_Click()
If CheckBox = True Then
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , Status = True
If CheckBox = False Then
Exit Sub
End If
End If
End Sub
Looks like you were on the right track. Two things of note:
1) In the following code, these lines (If CheckBox = False Then |Exit Sub |End If) are basically pointless, unless you want the False to actually do something, its just extra fluff. Therefore, removing the secondary If statement is beneficial.
If CheckBox = True Then
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , Status = True
End If
2) Using filters in this situation may not be the easiest way to accomplish your goal. Try this:
If CheckBox = True Then
Status.RowSource = "SELECT * FROM N_Q_PlacingOrders_Status WHERE " & _
"Status NOT IN ('Recieved', 'Cancelled')"
End If
NOTE: It may need a modification to the SELECT statement, as required by the rows you are trying to pull (but I don't have that information).

My code is working, but I just want to know if there is a more efficient way to achieve the same effect.
I have this layout in a form:
In my effort to foolproof the record creation process, I would like to have the "Save and Clear fields" button enabled only after all but the 'Comment' textbox/combobox contains some valid data.
The text/combo boxes are called txtBatteryID, cmbModelNumber, cmbChemistryType, txtSpecVoltage, txtSpecCapacity.
My code is as follow
Private Sub EnableSaveBtnCheck()
'this checks if the required fields contains valid data, if so, enables the save button.
If Me.btnSaveAndCLear.Enabled = False Then
If IsNull(txtBatteryID) = False And IsNull(cmbModelNumber) = False And IsNull(cmbChemistryType) = False And IsNull(txtSpecVoltage) = False And IsNull(txtSpecCapacity) = False Then
Me.btnSaveAndCLear.Enabled = True
End If
End If
End Sub
As you can see, I did the most straightforward way of using AND to combine all must-have conditions in an IF statement. This sub is called in After_Update() event of each text/combo box. Like this:
Private Sub cmbChemistryType_AfterUpdate()
Call EnableSaveBtnCheck
End Sub
My question, in the end, is: Is there a more efficient way to setup the condition "all text/combo box need to have something valid in them"? And is there a more elaborate way to check if the condition is met (something like a event on the form itself)?
Add the values of those 5 fields. If any of them is Null, the sum will be Null. So you only need call IsNull() once.
If IsNull(txtBatteryID + cmbModelNumber + cmbChemistryType + txtSpecVoltage + txtSpecCapacity) = False Then
I'd like to make a text box (Text28 hereafter) and a combo box (combo43 hereafter) enabled when another combo box (Combo26) takes the value "Resolved"
So this is the code, written in VBA, that should do that :
Private Sub Combo26_AfterUpdate()
If Combo26.Value = "Resolved" Then
Me.Text28.Enabled = True
Me.Combo43.Enabled = True
Else
Me.Text28.Enabled = False
Me.Combo43.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
Unfortunatly, nothing happens when I try it. Would you have a idea ?
Thx
If you are pulling two columns as your row source (as indicated in your comment above), it looks like the first one that is displayed is the ID. You should target the second column to do your comparison, e.g.,
If Combo26.Column(1) = "Resolved" Then
...
That works for me!
Combo26.Column(0)
will give you the ID.
I have a list of questions each with 4 possible answers that are displayed as toggle buttons on my form. What I want to do is if the user chooses either of the first two buttons, the Option Value stored is "1", if they choose either of the last two buttons, the Option Value stored should be "0". The option values must be different for each toggle button in a control group. Is there a way to recode the toggle buttons to store the desired response? (I work in psychology, thus the bait and switch of offering 4 choices to the user when really only two responses are recorded).
Here is what I have tried:
I tried thinking about a recode as jcarroll suggested, but this is a circular reference:
Private Sub Q1_Click()
If Me.Q1 = 1 Or 2 Then
Me.Q1 = 1
Else:
Me.Q1 = 0
End If
End Sub
I could recode into another variable but that is just as clunky as using a SQL statement on the data post-hoc, for instance:
NewVariable=Iif([Q1]=1,1,iif([Q1]=2,1,0)
Finally, I tried to code have both toggle buttons have the same Option Value (which causes both to look pressed if either is pressed) and recode the unpressed toggle button's back color. But while my code looks correct to me, this did not change the pressed color of the toggle button (which I think has to do with over riding toggle button design settings):
Private Sub Frame5_Click()
If Toggle8.Value = True Then
Toggle9.BackColor = &HFF00&
Else
Toggle9.BackColor = &H8000000F
End If
End Sub
I could not come up with any programming solutions on the form itself to solve this. The alternative is that I wrote a procedure to apply to the data after it is collected which will be stored as 1,2,3,4 to convert it to 0 or 1. This procedure also sums up the 1's. I have 50 variables/questions that will be passed through this procedure (as well as another like it that converts 3&4 to 1).
Public Function Recode1(ParamArray arg()) As Variant
Dim Size As Integer, skips As Integer, i As Integer, result As Variant
'Recodes first two toggle buttons as "1" for AQ assessment
Size = UBound(arg) + 1
For i = 0 To Size - 1
If IsNull(arg(i)) Or Not (IsNumeric(arg(i))) Or arg(i) = -99 Then
skips = skips + 1
Else
If arg(i) = 1 Or arg(i) = 2 Then
result = result + 1
Else:
result = result + 0
End If
End If
End sub
I use a series of if-then statements to build a selection criteria to filter records. There are several unbounded combo boxes and now I want to add checkboxes (if they are check to the criteria.) Here is the code that I am having a problem with (doesn't error or give a result - just back record):
This Section Processes checkbox minseries for true
If chkMiniSeries = True Then 'checkbox is checked'
SelCrit = SelCrit & xAnd & MiniSeries_TV = True 'add checkbox to SelCrit'
xAnd = " And "
End If
The bold indicates where i am looking for help!
Thanks for any support
You are building a filter string, so you need to concatenate a string:
SelCrit = SelCrit & xAnd & "MiniSeries_TV = True"
I want to use VBA (or some other solution) to conditionally change the background color of a form based off what number users enter in a numeric field. Basically, after they enter their answer to the Starter question, if they entered 1 then I want the form background to change to a specific shade of blue, and if they entered 2 then I want the form background to change to a specific shade of green. I saw a code that looks like it would be very similar to my need in another question on here, but I couldn't figure out how to make the code work, and was having trouble figuring out exactly how/where to put each module.
Some information:
The field I want it to be based off of is numeric, called Starter, and through data validation users are limited to entering 1, 2, 9, or leaving it blank. I only want the color to change if it's entered as 1 or 2.
I'm using Access 2010
the form has neither header nor footer
the code I was attempting to use and made some alterations to is the following:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
blue_yes = "15325906"
green_no = "13888226"
Dim colorThis As String
booWhatever = Me.Starter ''Use of the variable can prevent problems
If booWhatever = 1 Then
colorThis = "blue_yes"
End If
If booWhatever = 2 Then
colorThis = "green_no"
End If
subFrm.Form.Section(acDetail).BackColor = colorThis
subFrm.Form.Repaint
End Sub
I've also managed, off a very different piece of code, to sort of do what I want, but the way it's working it seems to change the status of all forms, not just the one I'm currently working with, which is the goal. So for example if I enter 2 to starter, it changes the background color of every single record's form.
Private Sub Starter_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Starter = "1" Then Me.Detail.BackColor = vbBlue
If Me.Starter = "2" Then Me.Detail.BackColor = vbGreen
End Sub
EDIT:
Welp, embarrassingly I found the solution. It's not a very neat one, but it works.
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim Presence As String
Presence = Nz(Me.Starter.Value, 9)
Select Case Presence
Case "1"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15325906
Case "2"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 13888226
Case Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbWhite
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub Starter_AfterUpdate()
Dim Presence As String
Presence = Nz(Me.Starter.Value, 9)
Select Case Presence
Case "1"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15325906
Case "2"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 13888226
Case Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbWhite
End Select
End Sub
I know it is a really old question (probably you have already solved it in a better way) but I will give it a try anyways.
Try the following:
Private Sub Text0_Change()
Select Case Me.Text0.Text
Case ""
Case "1"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15325906
Case "2"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 13888226
Case Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbWhite
End Select
End Sub
EDIT:
I tried that and it works I think now as it supposed to do.
When you change the text on the text box triggers this event every time, runs the Sub, checks it's own text and changes the color of the form as described.
The change is that I changed the property of the field it checks. From Value to Text. We want when the event triggers to check the current text because the Value property updates when you "finish" with the textbox (after you press enter or the focus on the control is lost) and we want the change to happen the same moment we press the key changing the value and not later.
The second change and the reason we got strange patterns before is that I have added one more Case when the text is "" to do nothing on that change (empty case). Without that case when we used delete or backspace to remove the text and left the textbox empty ("") then the case else was True and it changed the background color.
I hope this is the correct answer now. Please let me know!
