This class continues our exploration of Macros and
Event Handling. We will begin with one of the more popular
topics I get asked about: how do you open a form and go directly to a
new record without using Data Entry mode? I'll show you how to do that
with a macro. You'll learn about OpenForm and
GoToRecord.

Next we'll tackle another
popular problem: what happens when you open a form with a subform (for
example, our order form) and the user tries to add a CHILD
record before there is a parent record in place? For example, they try
to add a line item detail before there is an OrderID. This is a little
more complicated, and we'll need to learn how to check for a missing
Parent ID field, and use the GoToControl, SetValue,
RefreshRecord, and GoToRecord commands to handle this one.

Finally, we'll design a
toggle button where we can change the caption (and
other properties) of the button so that it says "INVOICE" or "Quotation"
depending on what kind of order this is. We have to learn how to
dynamically change that caption for each record using the On
Click Event and the On Current Event. We'll learn about the Caption
property, external macros, the RunMacro command, and the Enabled
property.

This is the 2nd class in the Access Advanced series. If you're
serious about building quality databases with Access, and you want to
learn how to automate your database with Macros
and Events, which is a good pre-cursor to VBA
programming then don't miss out on
this course. Of
course, if you have any questions about whether or not this class is
for you, please contact me.
