Re: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Form Navigation buttons question

 

So John,

this is what I have. Is this what you were going for?

Public Sub ButtonNavigations(strFormName As String)

If CurrentProject.AllForms(strFormName).IsLoaded = True Then

       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenfrm_mainswitchboard_new.Enabled = False
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenfrmTimesheets.Enabled = False
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenrptReports.Enabled = False
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenrptSchedules.Enabled = False
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenrpt_Accruals.Enabled = False
      
   Else
  
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenfrm_mainswitchboard_new.Enabled = True
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenfrmTimesheets.Enabled = True
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenrptReports.Enabled = True
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenrptSchedules.Enabled = True
       Forms(strFormName)!cmdOpenrpt_Accruals.Enabled = True
      
   End If

End Sub

For more ideas on your navigation buttons...

I have a navigation button routine I use on all my forms. Access navigation buttons tend to confuse the average user. They don't always even notice the buttons so I make my own nav bar. Here is the code I call whenever a move to another record is done. Notice I have a textbox named tstFocus. I put the focus on it so the enabling can work. If one of the buttons has focus you can't disable it. txtFocus is a very tiny box so the user can't see it.

'******Begin code******

Public Sub CheckPosition(frm As Form, ParamArray ctrls())

'Purpose  : Enable/disable nav buttons.

'           txtFocus is a textbox that is used only to get

'           Focus during enabling/disabling. It is just a

'           dot on the form placed near nav buttons.

'DateTime : 11/4/2013 12:08

    Dim lngRecNum As Long

    Dim lngRecCt As Long

    Dim x As Integer

    lngRecNum = frm.CurrentRecord

    lngRecCt = DCount("*", "DataExtractionAccessLog")

    

    frm.txtFocus.SetFocus

    frm.cmdGoFirst.Enabled = lngRecNum <> 1

    frm.cmdGoLast.Enabled = lngRecNum <> lngRecCt

    frm.cmdGoNext.Enabled = lngRecNum <> lngRecCt

    frm.cmdGoPrev.Enabled = lngRecNum <> 1

    frm.cmdGoNew.Enabled = lngRecCt <> 0

    'No Additions should disable "New" button

    If frm.AllowAdditions = False Then

        frm.cmdGoNew.Enabled = False

    End If

    'If any cbo's or lst's have a user-defined function for RowSourceType

    'they will need to be requeried.

    If Not IsNull(ctrls) Then

        For x = 0 To UBound(ctrls)

            If ctrls(x).ControlSource = "" Then ctrls(x) = Null

            ctrls(x).Requery

        Next

    End If

End Sub

'******End Code******

Hello all,

I am redesigning an old database and the forms are going to be changed to have some navigation buttons in the form header for more real estate. So I have 6 buttons with transparent properties. My question is that I would like to have the buttons be the same on every form so it is consistent. But if the form related to the button is loaded I want to have the button disabled.

So I put the following code in on load event.below. But I thought this should be in a module and called on every form. But I am stuck at that point. How do I call something like that?

Thank You

Jim Wagner

If CurrentProject.AllForms("frmReportsNew").IsLoaded = True Then
     Forms!frmReportsNew!cmdOpenrptReports.Enabled = False
   Else
       Forms!frmReportsNew!cmdOpenrptReports.Enabled = True
   End If
