Me.AllowAccess should have been Me.AllowEdits. I was brain dead by the time I posted the message.

This line is in the OnClick event of a subform. I want to open stDocName read only. DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, acFormReadOnly, , strCaller When the form opens Me.AllowAccess is false in both the Load event and the OnCurrent event. Yet I can edit all the data, close the...

You have to do the FindFirst. That's what set's the .bookmark value.

Your earlier statement about it getting complicated is very true. You'll find the best approach depends on the details of what your trying to do. However, the following should get you started. Have fun. Modify the sample code JHB sent you to something like this. (I edited the variable names...

I'm brain dead. It's was a sub. Changed it to a function and all is well. thanks!

You can create Properties (Get, Let) on the forms to pass the data about it's current record, then write code in the OnActivate, and OnDeactivate events to sync the forms. When you leave a form OnDeactivate should set the data. When the other form is activated, OnActivate should read the data...

Try something like this: Like IIf(Nz([Forms]![frm_main_menu]![Week],"*")="*","*",[Forms]![frm_main_menu]![Week])

I think you need a subreport in the Report detail section that prints the records contained in the subform on the main form.

I am trying to set event handlers on multiple controls in code. This works: Me.Controls("txtPosition" & Right(CStr(iLoop + 100), 2)).OnClick = "=UpdateTaskList(" & CStr(iLoop) & ")" This doesn't: Me.Controls("txtPostIt" & Right(CStr(iLoop + 100), 2)).OnGotFocus = "=PostItGotFocusHandler2()"...

I've found lots of post that say "don't use OLE Objects", but in this case I need to add objects to an existing database where the front end code is an .mde file and the orignal .mdb is no longer available. The field is PHOTO and field type is OLE Object I've tried !Photo =...

I have a form that opens a report in a button click event. DoCmd.OpenReport strReport, acViewPreview The report has code in the Report_Open event to read a value on the form and change the RecordSource. In the Report_Load event the following line Sometimes gives me a runtime error 2448. at...

I inherited an Access 2000 (2002?) database that uses a textbox behind another to change the background color based on two different fields. The Format property is set to: "ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ"[Green];"ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ"[Yellow], the Data ControlSource is set to...

Just noticed the last post, are you still having problems? It has been my experience that when the error is on the declaration line of the sub routine or function that there is a compiler error. In other words, look for another typo or syntax problem. One check is turn off Option Explicit...

Also the last part should read ... "UniqueId = '" & strImportRecord & "'" strUniqueId is not defined in your code.

There's a typo in the your last post. See the asterisk * near the end. That should be an ampersand, &.

Sounds like the Date field has a default set to =Now() or =Date(). If it doesn't find a matching date it's defaulting to a new record. Try setting the forms Data>Allow Additions property to No and see if the new record goes away. You could also add a Command button to turn "Allow Additions"...

Is this one of those cases where the manager says: "I want a form that looks like this spreadsheet?" If so, you will probably need to create a form with a bunch of unbound controls, then use code to sequence through a record set and label and populate the controls with data. Let the user edit...

If I understand right, your "UniqueId" is a string. Thus, the last part of the line should be ... "UniqueId = '" & intUniqueId & "'". That's a single quote, ' , inside the double quotes. Also, good coding practice says the variable should be strUniqueId. As written, using an int prefix for...

Have worked with Access for years, mostly Access 97, some Access 1.0, 2.0, 2000, 2002, and now 2010. New to 2010, not having used Access much for several years. (C++ for the last 7) Discovered a few surprises with 2010. Some may be because I've got Ansi-92 switched on for SQL.
