Adding new record in access 2010 - vba

I want to enable a few fields when i click on the Add button on my form.I have change the onclick to Event Procedure to be able to add the following code
Category_Desc.Enabled = True
My Category field get enable as expected but the Add button no long work
Private Sub add_Click()
Category_Desc.Enabled = True
Me.Refresh
End Sub

If you wish to go to a new record, include this command:
DoCmd.GoToRecord, , acNewRec
Also, if you wish to have Category enabled only on a new record, remove that code from the Add button and replace it with this line in the OnCurrent event of the form:
Category_Desc.Enabled = Me.NewRecord

Show/Hide FileExplorer in Access Form

I've been trying to use a combobox to show/hide a PDF viewer that I've added into a MS Access form.
When I use the form_current event, then the form only updates when I move between the data entries. When I use the afterupdate event, the same code does nothing at all.
Does anyone have a fix? The code I have used is below, which I have tried both the AfterUpdate event for the Browser and the Form_Current event for the whole form
Private Sub PDFT900_AfterUpdate() / Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim ESNComb As String
ESNComb = Me.ESNCombo.Column(1)
If ESNComb Like "9????" Then
Me.PDFT900.Visible = True
Else
Me.PDFT900.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
In the code below, I'm hiding and showing the Adobe PDF Reader ActiveX control named, "AcroPDF0". Since the Like operator returns true on an expression match and false on a mismatch or no match, it serves as a simple boolean switch for the visible property. I've used the (*) wild card instead of (?). It works {shrug}. See demonstration images below.
Private Sub ESNCombo_AfterUpdate()
'AcroPDF0.Visible = ESNCombo.Text Like "P*"
AcroPDF0.Visible = ESNCombo.Column(0) Like "P*"
AcroPDF0.src = acroPDFOSrc
End Sub
ComboBox List Items
"File Browser" Selected in ComboBox
Toggled ComboBox back to "PDFT900"

access make list field visible when clicking Button

In an access form, I try to make a list field visible when the fokus is on another textfield in which new data should be filled in. The backround is that one should know the last data inputs to create a new one.
As a first step I tried to make the list (liste91) visible when clicking on a button, but I failed using the following code.
Private Sub Befehl97_Click()
Forms!projects!liste91.SetFocus
Me.liste91.visible = True
End Sub
I get error in the line Me.list91
what is wrong?
thank you for your help!
You can't set focus to something not yet visible. Just switch the order:
Private Sub Befehl97_Click()
Me.liste91.visible = True
Me.liste91.SetFocus
End Sub

Opening new form after right click on selected record in continuous form

In my access database before I was using a list box in the form for having list of items and I had below code for opening new form after right click on each selected item in list box.
Private Sub ItemList_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Const RIGHTBUTTON = 2
If Button = RIGHTBUTTON Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmShortcut_GenerateTask"
DoCmd.MoveSize udtPos.X * mp.TwipsPerPixelX, udtPos.Y * mp.TwipsPerPixelY
End If
End Sub
Now I am using a continuous form instead of list box and I have defined a [isselected) field for selecting each record in continuous form after clicking on that. Now my problem is how I have to write code for right clicking and opening new form.
I used the same code I had used for list box, but it does not work and nothing happened.
Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Const RIGHTBUTTON = 2
If Button = RIGHTBUTTON Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmShortcut_GenerateTask"
DoCmd.MoveSize udtPos.X * mp.TwipsPerPixelX, udtPos.Y * mp.TwipsPerPixelY
End If
End Sub
Private Sub P_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Me.IsSelected = Not Me.IsSelected
' Save the status
Me.Dirty = False
' Force conditional highlighting
P_ForceHighLight
' Update display in SF_Selected
Me.Parent("SF_Selected").Requery
ActiveControl.SelLength = 0
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
I recommend either using a DoubleClick event in all of your textboxes and combos, or else putting a small button at one edge of your continuous form that allows the user to open records. Right-click is going to give you problems (so will labels and image controls) because this event doesn't cause (or ensure) that the Form's internal Recordset Bookmark property is actually moved to the record they right-clicked on. In my experience, only buttons, textboxes, and comboboxes will move the Bookmark to the record the user is trying to select.
To Test this, try putting code at the top of your different routines that shows you what record is selected:
MsgBox "RecordID = " & Me!RecordIDField
If you are consistently getting the correct ID, then your problem has to do with how your opening your new form, passing parameters or arguments, etc.

How To activate Menu in OK and UPDATE mode

I enabled some menu in right click event. The first time it works well. For example 'Add Row' menu is pressed, it adds row. Again I right click button, and it's not showing the menus which I enabled in right click event. I need to add row again and again.
How can I achieve this?
Private Sub SBO_Application_RightClickEvent(ByRef eventInfo As SAPbouiCOM.ContextMenuInfo, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.RightClickEvent
Try
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("TRADING")
If (eventInfo.FormUID = "TRADING") Then
oCombo = oForm.Items.Item("1000002").Specific
Dim oMenus As SAPbouiCOM.Menus
oMenus = SBO_Application.Menus
oForm.EnableMenu("1287", True)
oForm.EnableMenu("1292", True)
oForm.EnableMenu("1293", True)
If (oCombo.Selected.Value = "Open") Then
oMenus.Item("1283").Enabled = True
Else
oMenus.Item("1283").Enabled = False
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
based on the input that u gave with your post, there may be two chance of getting error.
for the first time u are adding the row perfectly but in next time it was not working.. so i think code was not perfectly handled. try to place the same code in before action false. and also try to catch the action result that u get at item event so that we can debug the issue clearly.
to enable the right click event menu we need to handle the right click menu options based on oform.mode Separately.
for example in purchase order screen we will get different menu in add more and find mode.

VBA - The Form Class has no the show method

I want create one form from another. But the Form class has no the Show method, which described at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg251540.aspx
It's code in Form_Main:
Private Sub btnTemp_Click()
Dim frmOpt As Form_Option
Set frmOpt = New Form_Option
frmOpt.Show vbModal
End Sub
But I received the "Compile error: Method or data member not found".
Where I made mistake?
Thanks

Sorry for my previous comment: right now I see that comment isn't obvious.
I don't have subForm on my mainForm.
I have two simple form: Form_Main and Form_Option. And I want to be the next logic:
Form_Main has button "btnOption"
Click on "btnOption". The Form_Option is opening
I change options on Form_Option
And click the btnSave button on Form_Option, and the next idea is executing:
Form_Main.TimerInterval = CLng(Form_Option.edtTimerInterval.Value)
At the moment I made it simple. And that is enough for me.
I write so:
Private Sub btnOptions_Click()
' After changing options, refresh timer interval of main form
DoCmd.OpenForm "Options", , , , , acDialog
Me.TimerInterval = 1000 * CLng(MOptions.loadOption("fPeriodVerifyNoticeInterval"))
End Sub
Where fPeriodVerifyNoticeInterval is parameter that stored in the options table.
And the Options Form changes the "fPeriodVerifyNoticeInterval" parameters at saving.
My problem is solved, Thanks
The "mistake" is that Show isn't a valid Method for Access Forms. The link you provided is for UserForms which are forms made in VBA.
If you want to create a new form that way what you want is something like this:
frmOpt.Modal = true
frmOpt.Visible = true
Though what I would recommend is doing this instead:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Option", , , , , acDialog which will open the Option form as a dialog.
Caution: If you create your form using New even though you set it as modal it will not halt the progress of VBA code. This means that your variable will go out of scope as soon as the code finishes. If you want your form to remain open, you will need to set it as static within the sub or declare it outside the sub like this:
static frmOpt As Form_Option
or outside the sub private frmOpt = Form_Option or public frmOpt = Form_Option
