    Trying to get an If/Else statement to operate

    I would try the On change event - instead of locking the field, you can also try to disable it altogether and it allows the user to visually see that its not accessible. Private Sub Combo2_Change() If Cmb1.Value = "No" Then [txt1].Enabled = False [txt2].Enabled = False Else...

    MsgBox on change

    Here is another option utilizing a cmd button - If the user indeed wants to change the name, they need to first click the 'Change Name' button. The problem I have run into is that everyone is so 'click' happy that if a box pops up, they are apt to just hit 'okay' to get on with the process...

    How did you get your Access career started?

    Im just curious on how some of you made a career by creating DB's for clients. Everything I see is generally some other program besides Access. Is Access something I should not learn because there is no demand or is this strictly free lance work? These past few months have captivated my...

    Works - now it doesnt

    I got it to work. Instead of referencing the checkbox itself on the report to format a box, I referenced the checkbox on the form. So the new line of code is the following: If Forms!frmfilterform!UnavailableforCompletion.Value = True Then It still gave me errors on every IF statement so I...

    Works - now it doesnt

    I did some research on the Nz function. In simple terms: It lets you return a value when a variant is null. Okay, now my check box displays either a 0 or a -1. 0 being false and -1 being true. This means that my check box is NOT null....correct? :confused: (I thought a check box could...

    Need Help with Menu bar

    I tend to do things the long ways anyways - but why not make a form (lock its position at the bottom right or wherever it suits you) with a field that is unbound and a command button that prints what is specified in the unbound box. You can set multiple reports that you want to print by using...

    Works - now it doesnt

    What would trigger an error to occur if there has been no changes to a DB. My error # is 2427 (You entered an expression that has no value). This error occurs when I click on a command button to open a report. When I debug, it sends me to an IF statement that I have loaded in the On Format of...

    Locking zoom % on Report Preview

    Every time a report is opened, it displays the page at 100% - thus allowing you to view a small portion of the document. Is there a way to lock the zoom at 75% to view the overall page upon opening the report? Thanks, John D

    Someone translate why this is not working

    I will try to explain as best I can. Each AR has between 250 - 350 students. Each Record (student) has the students start date and has a field to which AR they belong to (2005, 2006 or 2007) and many many more things that relate to each student. The start date of the student is what...

    Someone translate why this is not working

    SJ This is before I learned anything about Normalization. Everything was grouped into one table which housed all data for the 2005 Annual Report. In the meantime, I created another table for the 2006 AR (all same fields, just different data) and 2007 with seperate forms that reference the...
