Continuous Forms Question

I have a form, set to "Continuous Forms" to kind of give that
spreadsheet feel, but I need it in a Form because my detail section
contains some buttons I need.

In my form header, I have an "Add New Record" button.

Here's my question. I want to get rid of that last empty line. The
one where when I start adding a new record, Access automatically drops
in a last blank to type in. The reason is that when someone clicks
"Add New Record", I populate some of the fields based on other open
forms. When they can just type in the next field, that populating
doesn't kick in... though I guess I could write the code to do that.
Was just wondering if there was a way to disable the showing of that
next blank record.

Open your form in design view. open properties and go to the Data tab. Set
Allow Additions to No. This gets rid of the blank new record line. You won't
be able to add a new record at this point.

Where you click "Add New Record", add this code:
Me.AllowAdditio ns = True
You will now be able to add a new record.

Somewhere you will need to put this code:
Me.AllowAdditio ns = False

It will vary a bit depending on Access version, but go into the form properties. In Access XP, you can set 'Allow Addtions' to no. VBA code can do it too..

Worked like a charm. Just changed my code to:

Me.AllowAdditio ns = True
DoCmd.GoToRecor d , , acNewRec
ScopeID.Value = xScopeID
Me.AllowAdditio ns = False

Thanks!!

Um, Steve....

Time to change what you write for pseudonyms expressing appreciation... .
You may also want to vary the newsreader as well...

I recently saw the tail end of a "Continuous forms" discussion, but not enough was available to see if this will be a PITA repeat question. Sorry if it is. On a form with its Default View set to Continuous Forms, I need to catch the event when the repeating section iterates for each record in the underlying table. I have buttons on the repeating section which will get their captions from the current line in the table, or which will...

Then setting up a vertical scroll bar for the number of records in the data table. As the scroll bar is clicked or dragged,...

Hi everyone, Please let there be someone out there who can help. I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Thanks in advance... I have a form displaying the results of a query in a continuous form style. I want to be able to double-click on the key field of the form (a textbox, in this case a AssetID) and use this to populate the AssetID textbox of another form. Any ideas on how to link these? Thanks! Bhavesh

Searching the net I've found a simple technique to add row numbers and alternate colors (for the even and the uneven row) to a continuous form. 1st step: Create a textbox, send it to background and select the first color. .ControlSouce =fRowNum(False) .Name = RowNum 2nd step: Add the following function to the form module: (for row numbers) Public Function fRowNum(Reset As Boolean) As Long Static I As Integer

I can have the pictures converted to any usable format, use OLE or linking, whatever needs to be done. So far, the 3 possible solutions I have found are: 1) OLE objects - if you don't have bitmaps associated just...

I thought that in an earlier project I was able to click or double-click in the detail section of a row in a continuous form and use the event to open a detail form for that row. However, now a click/double-click in a row's detail section doesn't generate the relevant click event UNLESS that row is already the current row (that is, the Record Selector symbol is showing at the left end of the row). So I guess my thought was wrong. Of...

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.
