    Form as a Switchboard

    Is "SW 2" a form? do you have a button that you click to open "SW 2"? If you have a button to open "SW 2", then put what I gave you and only what I gave you on the "on click" event for the button. There should be nothing else but that VB for the password prompt.

    LOCK a form so no one else can use it until 1 user is finished

    I have split it correctly, just it is still residing on the network until I get the tweaks that I want done. Then I can have everyone copy the front end to their desktop. So what your are saying is that.... if they had their own copy, it would be used by just that person where the front end...

    Loop through records in a temp table before it loads into the form.

    I need you to explain more on how and where to put what you posted earlier. And do I need to change any text that you posted to match a field that I have?

    Loop through records in a temp table before it loads into the form.

    Ok, here goes again.... I have a form that displays data from two tables based on a query that pulls the data together for the form. I have two fields in the query that prompt the tech for information to search for each record. I have a VB script that loops the query until the tech has...

    Form as a Switchboard

    stDocName = "SW 2 Macro" PassWord = InputBox("Enter Password") If PassWord = "Ice" Then ' Open Form DoCmd.OpenForm "SW 2" Your stDocName and DoCmd.OpenForm should be the same. If your form is SW 2 then that is what should be in both places. Try that and let me know.

    Form as a Switchboard

    Sure try putting this on the button that takes you to the second form. Of course you will have to give the users the password that you create. Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String Dim PassWord As String stDocName = "SecondFormNameHere" PassWord =...

    Hi all, I have a form that is constantly used by several people at the same time. I would like to be able to have one user have the form open, and lock others out from using it until the one user closes it. When the one user does have it open, and someone else tries to open it. I would...

    Loop through records in a temp table before it loads into the form.

    Yes, the form is based on the query that pulls the data from both tables. The query itself has to fields that prompt the tech for input and I have a VB script that loops the query until the tech has pulled all the records they desire. Those records I dumped into a temp table for editing before...

    Loop through records in a temp table before it loads into the form.

    Gotcha.... Let me rephrase on my last. The form is displaying data from two tables. That is why I had to create the query to have the user enter the criteria from the specific field to find the record and dump it into the temporary table. The data is then changed and then the changed fields...

    Loop through records in a temp table before it loads into the form.

    Oh yes, please keep in mind that what I posted is just an action based on a button the user clicks. The data, per say, is already in a temp table waiting to be viewed, changed and updated. The code is to manipulate changing some of the fields in the temp table based on the Y/N answer. Maybe...

    Loop through records in a temp table before it loads into the form.

    hmmm I am new to VB and have been learning as I go. Basically, if I did not have the loop. The data is pulled from a query, dumped into a temp table, then displayed on the form. Then the user interacts with the data changing some of the fields based on the situation (the Y/N part) where based...

    Record does not exist, open an add form

    Do you have an example of what you are suggesting? I currently have a query setup to ask the user for only one value. If I can do it directly from the table and populate the form that would be great. I am tweaking the database based on user input and this is one of the suggestions. You can...
