How do I detect when the user changes tabs in Access? In VBA hopefully, and not as an Office Add-In.
Forms and Reports are Access objects that have Activate/Deactivate events that can trigger VBA when a they get/lose the focus. Clicking on the "Net Worth Summary" in your image would fire MainMenu's Form_Deactivate() and NetWorthSummary's Report_Activate() events. Tables and queries don't have events like this that you can trap, just forms and reports.

I have written MS Access VBA code.
I have written License code in Form_Open Event. License code is available in the registry. During opening the form, the registry value will be compared with the hard coded value inside the code. If both are same, then it will open the form. If both value are not same, It will displayed the message and close the Access application(Application.Quit), You are not authenticated to use the tool.
Now I forgot the password in the VBA code.
As soon as open the form, due to both value are mismatched, Modal message box is displayed and I could not open the VBA code at all.
I do not know how to disable the Form_Open event.
Please help me to disable the Form_Open event, and open the VBA code.
Hold the Shift key pressed when opening the database to prevent the automatic execution of code or opening of forms.
Then you can open the form in Design view and its code.
When a user enters data into a form control, the On Update event fires code which enters data to the table via other controls on the form. So for example, entering a BMI of 31 into one field updates the corresponding Obesity field to show that the person is clinically obese.
When I upload data directly into the table, is there a way for me to get this VBA code to run and update all the necessary values, without having to manually go into each record via the form and do something to fire it?
Not in version 2007, Access 2010 includes "data macro's" which can monitor table updates. For 2007 you would need a copy running on a standalone machine somewhere that could check the table in a loop and then fire events if it detects a change.
I have a form that has the navigate buttons on the bottom.
I would like to run some code every time the user navigates to a different record.
Under which event handler would I place this code? Form_OnLoad only runs the code when I open the form. I'm a bit lost. Thanks!
You should use the Current Event.
In Access 2003 VBA forms, what event is fired when the user changes the record the form is looking at?
(ie: pressing the arrow buttons at the bottom left of the form)
Thanks!
You would use Current.
I have a database in MS Access and within it I am holding dates for expirations for SSL's. I want to set a reminder for any SSL that is soon to expire. Anyone know the easiest way to go about this?
It all depends on how you want the notification to work.
You can pop-up a form when the database opens
or at any time using a timer
or in a form event
You can build events into Outlook
You can run some script in the task manager
You can send an email using any of the above.
The easiest way to pop-up a form may be to create a form that runs when the database opens or when the menu form opens. This can be set in the start-up options. The form should be based on a query that checks for out of date records and is only made visible if there is data. You can check the recordset in the load event to see if anything is returned. This for can also use DoCmd.SendObject to send an email.
