    VBA error with incomplete textbox

    I don't think so. First of all the code is as simple as it could be (I added VBA in the original post). Secondly, it's just one form with 4 unbound textboxes (I just mentioned 3 in the example). And thirdly, the code works if editing/entering of first textbox is finished, but comes up only if...

    VBA error with incomplete textbox

    Sorry if I was unclear, but I don't think it's convoluted at all. I added the code in the original post as requested. I am not duplicating any data. As all textboxes are unbound, nothing will happen if user closes form in the middle of entry, as intended. To un-simplify, instead of 1 button...

    VBA error with incomplete textbox

    Hello, I have a form with 3 textboxes (itemCode , txt1, txt2) and 1 button (simplifying for this example). The textbox itemCode has an input mask. User must: 1) manually enter itemCode , 2) click the button and vba script fills txt1 and sets focus to txt2. Private Sub button1_Click()...

    Many Forms vs. one tabbed form.

    I totally agree, it made no sense. It was said as a comment to a form with 7 or 8 tabs.

    Many Forms vs. one tabbed form.

    Hello everybody. I almost never use Tab Control on a form, as I always thought it was not worth the "trouble", but today someone said that Access does not like having too many forms. So basically it made me think: Is it better to use for instance 10 separate forms or 1 form with 10 tabs. Or...

    Problem with dynamic image in MS Access report

    Well, thanks for your time, especially @arnelgp. Could not solve the problem programmatically, but I solved it by cheating. I just created blank.png with plain white background and I added path to query, where it should be empty. Still would be interesting if there is VBA solution.

    Problem with dynamic image in MS Access report

    Well, the [path] in query is never NULL, it's either "C:\img\1.png" or "", specifically to accommodate Me.Image.Picture attribute.

    Problem with dynamic image in MS Access report

    Hello, I have a report for printing labels on a grid of let's say 3 by 6 on A4 paper. These are peel-off labels, which can be printed either full sheet or just 1, depending on needs. The report's Record Source is a query, which contains always 18 records (to cover 3x6 grid), and 3 columns...

    Backend choice

    Hi, my question is not about mysql v postgresql in general (on which there are tons of articles), but rather if there is any preference when used in conjunction with MS Access.

    Backend choice

    The server PC is Linux and although I read that SQL Server has been ported to certain Linux distros, somehow I don't feel comfortable. Also price? You are welcome to change my mind?

    Backend choice

    Hello, Probably asked many times, but I guess I could not choose correct keywords in Google to get answer. So question is simple, I am torn between using either MySQL (or MariaDB) or POSTGRES as a backend for Access. Is there preferred choice and why? Better ODBC driver for either of them? Any...
