I have a report which prints data from a parent table and two child
tables (Contract and Kosten). Because it is a bit long, I suppress some
fields which are often empty, based on methods found in the archive for
this group: allowing can-shrink on the field itself and the following
code in the details section to suppress the label:
If (Me!InpassingWe rkproces.Text = "") Then
Me!InpassingWer kproces_Bijschr ift.Visible = False
Else
Me!InpassingWer kproces_Bijschr ift.Visible = True
End If
The suppressed fields occur in all three records.
When there is both a Contract and Kosten record this works fine. If
there is no Kosten record this works fine. But when there is no Contract
record I get an error message (translated from the Dutch) "you can only
refer to a property or method of a control if the control has the
focus". On debugging, the code complained about is the 'if' line of the
first instance of the label-suppression code above. If I comment that
out, it complains about the next instance.
I have looked in vain for differences in the ways I handle Contract and
Kosten records.
Can anyone suggest where I should be looking?
(Access 2000, Dutch version, Windows XP Pro)
========
Subsidiary question (much less important): the examples I found in the
archive all provided only the first half of the above IF statement. But
I found that the value of the 'Visible' property was maintained from one
detail record to the next: once I set it to False, it remained False for
all subsequent records. Has the behaviour of Access changed at some
point?

Use -
If (Me!InpassingWe rkproces= "")
instead of
If (Me!InpassingWe rkproces.Text = "")
The Text property is only available if the control has focus, which never happens in a report.

1. Try using the .Value property instead of .Text.
Or just use
If (Me!InpassingWe rkproces = "") Then
2. The behavior you've observed (changing the formatting of a detail record
remains until changed again) has been there as long as I've been working
with Access (back to 2.0).

I've noticed this too and have been puzzled by it. Isn't Text the
default property of a TextBox?
So other than the fact that one way works and the other does not, what
is the difference between these two statements?
txtMyText = "foo"
txtMyText.Text = "bar"
Is this some peculiarity of Access VBA?

The default value of any control that can be bound to a field is
..value. At least the rule is consistent.
The .text property contains whatever the user has typed into a
control, for editing. since it can only be edited when the
control has focus, the property is only accessible when the
control has focus.
So other than the fact that one way works and the other does
not, what is the difference between these two statements?
txtMyText = "foo"
txtMyText.Text = "bar"
txtMyText refers to the bound value,
as does txtmytext = 99
txtMyText.Text = "bar" refers to the value of txtMytext while
the field is being edited.
The use of the two properties allows one to cancel an edit, ir
to save it.
Is this some peculiarity of Access VBA?
Probably, as it's only necessary when editing a bound control.

In VB yes. In Access the Value property is the default.

The Text property in Access is the not yet committed text in the control as you
are editing it. That is why it is only available for the control that currently
has focus.

That's actually what I started with, but it didn't work.
IsNull(Me!Inpas singWerkproces) turned out to work. See my other post.

OK, thanks. Apparently some of the code posted here that I thought was
real code must have just been air code.
