Visible Command Button

Hi,

I have a command button which has a macro running in it.

The macro on the click event, runs to ensure that certain values in a
form are valid, (e.g. the textboxes are not null)

and after the macro runs, an update query would run...

the problem is that how can i ensure that the update query would only
run after the macro find that the fields entered are valid..

i was thinkin i first place a command button to run the query, and
after the query has been run and the fields entered are valid, then
another command button appears to allow user to click to run the query.

i know the command button can be made visible after a certain condition
has been met..but all the conditions are found in a macro..so can i put
in VBA: If macro.NameofMac ro = True, then run the query?

Thanks in advance!

It looks like you are making things very difficult for yourself. Normally
forms are bound to a datasource and that does all the work for you. You set
the required property of fields to true and then trying to save a record
would result in an error which you could catch and deal with.
Creating an unbound form with a button to add or update records is possible,
but really this is above what macros are good for - you should be writing
proper vba code with error-handling to make sure your code works.
Is there something special about your situation here, perhaps like you want
to do a batch update or something? Perhaps post a quick explanation and
indicate whether you would be OK with vba code as opposed to the pretty
limited Access macros.

i see...coz what i need to do is to update a user password...
therefore, i need to validate whether the user provided the correct
password, and also whether the new and confirmed password matches..
Then can i run the update query to change the password...
but in this case, the query runs irregardless whether the macro does
the validation or not..

And even if the input were valid/ correct, then i would run another
macro to go to the default logon screen..

Do note that it's a custom logon form, not Access level security...i'm
not using it because there's no need for a small company with few
users...

Thanxs! Ya see, i'm very new with access..

Hi all, Not sure if this is possible, but can I change the controls of a command button on a per record bases in a subform. In my case, I would like to make a command button visible only if certain fields in a table are a certain value. Here is the subroutine I've written so far: Public Sub IsButtonVisible() 'For Access, define some object variables and make connections.

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,...
