In this video I talk about how to program vba object items like the ms access form.
Specifically we look at the Access Form Open Event, and add a password prompt in the open event of the form, cancelling the open event if it is incorrect.
Also we will look at controlling the Form_Load with a public variable and the Form_Current event.
The possibilities for the Form_Current event procedure.
-diplay a message box
-display data in the caption of the form.
-display the customer’s previous order
-display all the books by the publisher (based on publisher id)
-perform form level calculation on form data
Remember:
The Current Event happens before the Load Event.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public strUser As String
Private Sub Form_Current()
'possibilities for the current record.
'diplay a message box
'display data in the caption of the form.
'display the customer's previous order
'display all the books by the publisher (based on publisher id)
'perform form level calculation on form data
'Caption
If Len(Me.txtTitle) Then
Forms!frmFormEvents.Caption = txtTitle.Value
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox "Welcome, " & strUser
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'happens before the load event
Dim strPassword As String
strUser = InputBox("Enter The User")
strPassword = InputBox("Enter The Password")
If strPassword <> "Password" Then
MsgBox "Incorrect Password"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
