Hi all,
I am trying to hid a command button which links two forms. The forms
are connected by a one-to-many relationship and the second form has
details on the first. But if no details are avaliable I don't want the
command button to appear. I've been working with an "If/Then"
statment, but now the command button never appears.
Here is the statement I have
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Destroyed Files Contents"
If "[Matter Number]" = Me![Matter Number] Then
Destroyed_Form. Visible = True
Else
Destroyed_Form. Visible = False
End If
End Sub
this is the statement linking the two forms
Private Sub Destroyed_Form_ Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Destroyed_F orm_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Destroyed Files Contents"
stLinkCriteria = "[Matter Number]=" & "'" & Me![Matter Number] &
"'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Destroyed_ Form_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Destroyed_F orm_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Destroyed_ Form_Click
End Sub
Thanks for any help,

Your problem lies here:
If "[Matter Number]" = Me![Matter Number] Then
Me![Matter Number] is never going to equal "[Matter Number]" because
it's text. I think you want the value for [Matter Number], you don't
want to pass it a text string. You probably want something like:
If Forms!SubForm.[Matter Number] = Me![Matter Number] then
I'm most likely wrong on the exact syntax but it's something along
those lines.

I tried
If Forms![Destroyed Files Contents].[Matter Number] = Me![Matter
Number] Then
Destroyed_Form. Visible = True
Else
Destroyed_Form. Visible = False
End If
But it says that the form cannot be found, however the wording is fine.
anymore suggestions?

I was thinking about developing a workflow application yesterday and was
musing over the different approaches than one could take in restricting
specific actions on a ticket( Form ) at any said stage.
One approach I have used on other systems is to prevent the action buttons
appearing. For example, if one did not have the Role of Administrator, one
would be prevented from deleting a ticket not created by oneself.
However, it did occur...

A couple of easy questions here hopefully. I've been working on two
different database projects which make use of multiple
forms.
1. Where's the best/recommended placement for command buttons for things
like delete, save, edit, cancel buttons - in the footer, or on the form
detail section?
2. If in the footer, how do you add them to the tab order?

Hi,
I have designed a macro which prints out the first 2 pages of a word document. The Macro is assigned to a command button which is at the bottom of the second page. At the moment, the macro works fine, but the command button is being shown on the print out too.
How can i adopt hiding the command button into my vb code?
Many thanks

Hi,
I am creating a database in which users will enter details for one client (record) in several tables via several associated forms. I would like to have a button on each form that takes the user directly to the next form. If it is a new record I want the form to load with a blank form but pulling across the ClientID (unique identifier) but if a record already exists then link by the ClientID. So if going from frmInitial to frmFamily some...

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

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,...
