I have a form based on a table that is opened this way...
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmAdminSetupI nfo", , , , A_EDIT
It was my intention that the form allow the user to edit table
data - not add records. The table contains a single record only.
I don't want more records be added to the table.
When frmAdminSetupIn fo opens, all one has to do to go to
a newrec (empty new record) is press PGDN or hold down
the TAB key until focus reaches last tabbable control then
TABs its way on to the newrec. How can I accomplish what
I'm seeking here?

Some options:
1. Set the form's AllowAdditions property to No.
2. Cancel the form's BeforeInsert event.
3. Use a Number (not AutoNumber) field as the table's primary key. Set the
Default Value of this field to:
1
Don't expose this field in the form. After one record is added another
cannot be. If you want to go over the top, you could also set the Validation
rule on the field to:
=1

In addition to what Rick and Allen mention, you can set the "cycle
records" form property (on the other tab) so that tabbing will only go
through the displayed record.

Myself, I'd do two out of the 3 and always No.3. It's all very well
preventing something on the form in a user freindly manner but if the
application will break with 2 records in that table then a table level
constraint is the way to go. This prevents a second record being added
by other means as well. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Restricting a windows textbox (edit item) to digits only.
Is there a windows option, using .NET C#, to only allow a user to enter
digits ONLY? If so, what is the flag or setting? If no, what is the best
method to manually and robustly do it?
I have a windows form with an editbox that I only want user's to enter
digits.
Thanks in advance.

Ok I am trying to do the above, I have got a script that will restrict the length but it requires the user to enter the field and hit a key, before it will work.
This would normaly be find, but the title field gets its information from a previouse page so its value can easily be over 40 chars. (I can not restrict the length on the previouse page.)
The major dificulty is that there is no form on the aspx page, and I do not have access to...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
