What I am trying to accomplish is this:
Make a button for End Time which greys out once it is clicked. When moving to a new or the next record the button appears not greyed out, but will grey out once clicked. However, when I move to the new record, the button previously clicked in the previous records appear once again. Below is my code for the on-click function of the button:
Private Sub Command28_Click()
txtEndTime = Time()
Command28.Enabled = False
End Sub
I have also written this code for the Form_Current function:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.NewRecord Then
Me.Command28.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try with:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me!Command28.Enabled = Me.NewRecord
End Sub
And do rename it to something meaningful.

I'm using Office Professional Plus 2019. I have a ListBox that sometimes freezes the macro. The UserForm (AffDateSelector) has a ListBox (DateSelectionList) and a Button (Continue). The UserForm is called from the driving Sub with AffDateSelector.show. The code for the form is below:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Continue_Click()
Dim lngCurrItem As Long
'Assign the selected value to the public variable strClassDate.
For lngCurrItem = 0 To DateSelectionList.ListCount - 1
If DateSelectionList.Selected(lngCurrItem) = True Then
strClassDate = DateSelectionList.List(lngCurrItem)
End If
Next lngCurrItem
'Unload the form and return to the calling Sub.
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub DateSelectionList_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_initialize()
'Load ListBoxAccounts with the public variable strDateArray
With DateSelectionList
.List = strDateArray
End With
'Default the first row in DateSelectionList to be selected.
DateSelectionList.Selected(0) = True
End Sub
I've been using F8 to step through the code. When the form is shown, the UserForm_initialize() sub is executed and the data display properly. If the user does nothing else except click the Continue button, the Continue_Click() sub gets executed, the variable strClassDate is populated, control is returned to the calling sub and all is well.
The problem comes when the user selects an item other than the one defaulted in the list. Once the user clicks on the ListForm, the sub DateSelectionList_Click() is executed, but there's nothing in that sub, so the macro freezes. If I put in "dummy code" into DateSelectionlist_Click() (e.g. strClassDate = strClassDate) that line is executed and then the macro freezes when the End Sub statement is executed.
How can I allow the user to click on a non-defaulted item in the list, keep the form displayed, and wait for the Continue button to be pressed?
The code was fine. I had a lot of windows open and the pop-up didn't appear I was running the code from the VB editor but the pop-up never appeared. When I pressed Alt + Tab it didn't appear in that list either.
I created a user form with multiple options and now I want that the option the user selects is shown in a label under the button that calls the user form.I changed the caption in the text box under the button to resemble what should happen
However my options aren't working. Should I save the output in a global variable and then call it back to change the label and if so how do I do that? Or is it possible to just call the selection within the user form?
The code I was trying to run was this one to call the message box and then change the text box which is actually a label called "labelpage"
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
UserForm1.Show
If UserForm1.OptionButton1 = True Then LabelPage.Caption = "Company Restricted"
If UserForm1.OptionButton2 = True Then LabelPage.Caption = "Strictly Confidential"
If UserForm1.OptionButton2 = True Then LabelPage.Caption = "Public Information (does not need to be marked)"
End Sub
I also had this for each button click just to close them after selection, within the user form code.
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
OptionButton1.Value = True
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click()
OptionButton2.Value = True
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton3_Click()
OptionButton3.Value = True
Unload Me
End Sub
Is there just a tiny mistake of syntax or something like that or is this just completely wrong? Thank you in advance for your help.
The issue is that you are unloading the UserForm, meaning the controls are not available to you. The solution is to just hide the UserForm:
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
Hide
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click()
Hide
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton3_Click()
Hide
End Sub
I have a sub called as sub1() which activates the userform1 through the command userform1.show()
This userform1 has a button called as continue. On clicking that button continue - A Macro called as Private Sub continuebutton() gets activated.
I want to program in such a way that it redirects to the line after userform1.show() in sub1().
Is it something that can be done?
Theoretically, what you want is possible, if you do it like this:
In the UserForm:
Private Sub btnContinue_Click()
flag = True
Debug.Print "I continue ..."
sub1
End Sub
In a module:
Public flag As Boolean
Public Sub sub1()
If flag Then
Debug.Print "sub 1 continues here..."
Else
flag = False
UserForm1.Show
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
It will work exactly as intended, BUT it is not a good practice to work this way. (Some people may throw stones at you for using public variables at all in VBA.) Here are two articles, that give better ideas:
https://rubberduckvba.wordpress.com/2017/10/25/userform1-show/
Disclaimer - this one is mine:
http://www.vitoshacademy.com/vba-the-perfect-userform-in-vba/
On the form properties for userform1, set its "Modal" property to true.
When the form opens, it will have exclusive focus, and the code in sub1 will not continue running until after it closes. This may be the solution you need.
In the code below, the msgbox will only appear once userform1 closes:
sub sub1()
userform1.show()
msgbox "Now continuing with sub1"
end sub
No way as long as you show the form.
If you show the form modal, the calling routine continues if (and only if) the form is closed.
If you show the form non-modal, the code continues to run directly after the show - so it's already done.
So either you have to close the form when the user clicks the "continue..." button to let the calling macro continue or you have to split your code into two routines and call the second on button-click.
You can change your Sub1 as follows:
Sub sub1(Optional Continue As Boolean)
If Continue = True Then
DoSomeStuff
Exit Sub
End If
userform1.show
End sub
And then, you can call your sub1 using:
Private Sub continuebutton()
Call sub1(True)
End Sub
Hope it helps
If you don't want to go with the 'Modal Form' solution, you could add a subroutine to your main module, and call it when required. So, in userform1, you have:
sub sub1()
userform1.show()
end sub
public sub sub2()
msgbox "Now continuing..."
end sub
And then in userform1, set some code on its onClose event:
Private Sub continuebutton()
Call sub2()
end sub
I have a UserForm with this function:
Public MyVariable As String
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
[...my code...]
End Sub
To call my Userform from a button i do:
Sub CallUserForm_Appro()
UserForm1.MyVariable = "Appro"
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
Sub CallUserForm_User()
UserForm1.MyVariable = "User"
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
My goal is to remove "Label1" if user click on button to call CallUserForm_Appro()
So, i tried in UserForm_Initialize() to do:
Public MyVariable As String
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
[...my code...]
If MyVariable = "Appro" Then
UserForm1.Controls.Remove "Label1"
End If
End Sub
I have no error but my Label1 is always visible.
This is how you set the visibility of the label to false:
UserForm1.label1.Visible = false
Then it should not be visible any more.
The `Initialize event occurs before the variable is set (because you can't access any property of the form without it being loaded first).
You should use the Activate event instead as long as the control is added at run time. If it's a design time control, you can't delete it, only hide it. Alternatively, you might only add it to the form if the variable is not set to "Appro"
I have 2 forms. I want to open the second form in the last state it was left? I mean changes intact, textfields changed, choices made etc etc. I try using .show but it does load the form from its load sub which resets the form from the fresh state.
Can anyone guide me here? Thanks in advance
If you don't want the form to reload, don't destroy it.
In the main form, store a reference to the single instance of the second form.
Private m_Dialog As Form2
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If m_Dialog Is Nothing Then Set m_Dialog = New Form2
m_Dialog.Show
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
If Not m_Dialog Is Nothing Then Unload m_Dialog
Set m_Dialog = Nothing
End Sub
In the second form, use Hide() to close it.
Private Sub OKButton_Click()
Me.Hide
End Sub
