I need to print a label on a report only if a checkbox is checked.
I've tried many different lines of code but I can't get it to work. This is what I have at the moment (on the OnFormat event of the footer of my report):
If chkSignature = True Then
CEOsign.Visible = True
Else
CEOsign.Visible = False
End If
and this is a working example you can play with.
If the checkbox is ticked I want to print the label for the signature. If the checkbox is unticked I want to hide it. Can you help me? Thanks.
I didn't download the file, but I am guessing you are not changing the checkbox during the right event. As I recall, Detail_Format is the right event in which to place this code if you want to change visibility of items in the Detail section. MS Access is sometimes finicky, however, and I recall times when this sort of task did not go smoothly. Good luck!

I have created a report for Microsoft access and am trying to add fields to a report only if then have been clicked on our filled out. The only way I can think of doing this is writing a code or an if-then statement in access. I have very little experience with writing code and am not sure where to begin. I'm looking for something like "If a checkbox is selected then add it to the report".
Thank you.
Instead of trying to dynamically add controls to a report you could include all of the fields on the report and then simply hide the controls that correspond to empty fields. For example, if you have a text field named [SpecialRequirements] and your report contains a bound text box named [txtSpecialRequirements] then in the On Format event handler of the report's Detail band you could use
Me.txtSpecialRequirements.Visible = (Not IsNull([SpecialRequirements]))
which is just a shorthand way of saying
If IsNull([SpecialRequirements]) Then
Me.txtSpecialRequirements.Visible = False
Else
Me.txtSpecialRequirements.Visible = True
End If
This should get you started - its a basic if structure:
If Me!myCheckBox = True Then
'Write to the report
Else
'Do something else
End If

This is really old, but I had the same issue above, but found a easy solution.
Go to Design view in your "report"
Make your Yes/No boxes not visible
Go to the Design tab in your tool bar
Click on the Controls and click on the Check box and place them over your Yes/No box
Delete the label it gives with the check box
Save and look at your report
Only the YES will appear as a checked box.
I am using htmlunit to select radio button, and after clicking this button i checked if it is selected and got true which is fine.
my problem is when I leave the page and then back to it the radio button is not checkd and the default one will be the checked one !
does any one has idea about this issue ?
If somebody needs solution to this, you need to save the state to HtmlPage. When you want to resume to earlier radio button selection state, can achieve that using following code
HtmlPage selectionsHtmlPage = (HtmlPage) webClient.getCurrentWindow().getEnclosedPage();
in future, at any point when you want to start over from the selection again,
webClient.getCurrentWindow().setEnclosedPage(selectionsHtmlPage);
This method is just a way to do that operation only when doing this does not affect/break the ideal expected workflow of the web application.
EDIT: For clarification, I'm talking in the below post about tabbed document browsing, not a Tab Control. However, if you're looking for roughly the same problem but regarding a Tab Control, Gord Thompson's answer is correct. Two answers for the price of one!
I've got an Access 2007 database that uses tabbed documents. I need to run some VBA code every time a user selects the form called "Reports", either via opening it or clicking on its tab if it's already open.
I could achieve much the same thing by closing it each time it's used and running the code on an OnLoad event, but ideally I'd like to keep it open so that users can keep the settings of the various drop down boxes, radio boxes etc that they've already set on "Reports".
I was hoping for an event that could run code on tab reselection, but neither of my guesses (OnCurrent and GotFocus) seem to work (OnCurrent works only when the form is opened, like OnLoad would).
Any ideas greatly appreciated - can't find what I'm looking for on Google, though I suspect that's because I don't know exactly what I'm looking for.
The .Value property of a TabControl returns the index (zero-based) of the current page. So, if I have a TabControl named TabCtl14 that contains two pages, FirstPage and SecondPage, then the code...
Private Sub TabCtl14_Click()
If Me.TabCtl14.Value = 1 Then
MsgBox "SecondPage was clicked."
End If
End Sub
...displays the MsgBox whenever I click the "SecondPage" tab in the TabControl.
Have found the answer I was looking for. It's the OnActivate event.
I have a form including listboxes. I'm trying to change order of listboxes. I tried bring front or send back but they are not working in form view. I found z index property for arranging their priority. However, following codes are not working. Is this correct way to do it? Or is there any other way with or without codes to do this?
Me.Controls.SetChildIndex (Me.List0 , Me.List1)
Thanks for any help.
Without using code:
You can change the z-order by right-clicking any control and selecting "Position" then selecting either "Bring to Front" or "Send to Back."
Unfortunately, Access does not support the ZOrder method for manipulation using code. Microsoft Forms does support the ZOrder method which can get confusing when it comes up on Access Help.
As I reread your question, I wonder if you're talking about tab order. If so, right-click and bring up "Properties," select the "Other" tab, then adjust the "Tab Index" property. Also, make sure that the "Tab Stop" property immediately beneath is set to "Yes." In code you would use FormName.ControlName.TabIndex=0 to set a control to the first tab position.
Hope this helps!
Reference: Personal experience (and hours of frustration)
docmd.RunCommand acCmdDesignView
forms("form1").Controls("text0").inselection=true
docmd.runcommand acCmdSendToBack '(or docmd.runcommand acCmdBringToFront)
docmd.RunCommand acCmdFormView
Also, ZOrder is still not supported by Access 2016. As such, I have not yet learned a way to write a single line of code that puts a control in between two others, I just send the middle to back and then the back to back, and expand this to however many controls have to overlap.
And last, even though you use the VBA for ZOrder, your English does ambiguously sound like forms("form1").Controls("text0").TabIndex=34, which as Olek suggested, is also quite simple.
I did this on one Access form: The control I wanted on top I just cut and pasted it back to the form, then moved it over the one I wanted to cover. In this case, it was a text box (bound), almost the same size as a combo box (unbound); only the dropdown of the combo extended a bit to the right of the text box, so when the form was loaded the text box looked like a combo box. The user clicked the dropdown and made a choice and the record(s) pulled up were reflected in the text box.
I'm designing a Form in Access 2003. My goal is that when the user double-clicks on a record (aka Detail), a second form opens. This is easy enough to do when I start from scratch.
But of course, I'm not starting from scratch. I've been working on this for a few hours now, have added some conditionally formatted textboxes, fields, etc, and don't want to start over if I can avoid it.
I don't know if I turned on/off some obscure property, but I've been working on this form for a few hours now and the Double-Click event of the Details section only triggers when I double-click on the first record or any other with conditional formatting.
To troubleshoot this, I've gone so far as to comment out all the other VBA script except this:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Application.DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub
Sub GotoFrmDetails()
MsgBox "You Double Clicked Me!"
End Sub
Even with the VBA script reduced to just these lines, the DoubleClick event only triggers on the first record and no other. Can anyone tell me what wrong? I'd rather not have to rebuild this from scratch.
I find the click events of form sections to be more trouble than they are worth (click event doesn't pass through to the form if user clicks on a control or label, etc). What I use instead are transparent command buttons.
Just add a command button to your form and set its Transparent property equal to True. Then you can use the Z-order to make fine-grain changes if necessary (send to front/back, send forward/back).
They can be hard to find once you make them transparent, so be sure to give them descriptive names.
If you want the user to be able to double click anywhere in the detail section, just make the transparent command button's height/width match the section height/width.
Move your code from the Detail section DoubleClick event to the transparent command button's DoubleClick event and you should be good to go.
I'm wondering if the rows are getting their Locked property set to Yes, or their Enabled property set to No during your condition formatting.
