I'm attempting to create a Visual FoxPro standalone application that will take two inputs from a user (old location and new location). It will have two tables with a 1:M relationship with primary and foreign keys matching the old location. The application should then replace all instances in both tables of the old location with the new location.
I've put the form together and got the fields in both tables displaying in grids, both textboxes present and an "Update Records" submit button.
My problem is that my textboxes are greyed out when I select "Form">"Run Form" and I can't input anything.
Does anyone have any ideas why the boxes would be greyed out? I checked in Properties > Data > Read only and they are both marked as .F.
Thanks so much for your help!
*edit: Figured it out- Had ControlSource on because I thought that would bind the input to a specific field in a specific table. Never mind! :)

Just as an aside. the text boxes can be greyed out for a number of reasons, the most obvious ones are property set to readonly = .t. or enabled = .f., but also if the text box is bound to a datasource and that source is not available.
i.e the table EMPTY or is EOF() or BOF()

I have a weird situation with my MS Access 2016 split database.
The back-end is a Azure SQL server DB, the front-end are distributed accde files.
I have a form bound to a linked table with several sub-forms in it.
The form is used to edit single records of the main table.
With some records all works fine ("good") but with some other records ("bad") the text boxes freeze, not allowing any edits.
No error messages, they just seem to be locked but the locked property of the text boxes control is set to false. (I've checked this in runtime)
What I've tried so far:
I can edit all records directly in the linked table
The properties of the form and controls in both "good" records and
"bad" records are the same
I can change the values of check and combo boxes and update the "bad"
records
The BIT column has a default value of 0 and nulls are not allowed (no
NULLS in the table for this field)
I'm running out of ideas. Any help will be much appreciated.
I've figured it out, so i'll leave the solution in case someone hits the same issue.
I have a subform with a browser control. All i had to do was to add the following line at the end of the main form loading sequence:
Me.SF_WEB_BROWSER.SetFocus
I have a custom list. Each item in the list has 39 fields/columns that need to be filled out and a 40th field that gets filled out by a separate workflow.
I have another workflow that I need to trigger if any of the fields change EXCEPT for one.
Why? Because that field has a custom ID# in it and that field gets populated AFTER the form is submitted. Therefore, there will ALWAYS be a change in the list item. Thus, I need a workflow to trigger when any fields change EXCEPT the one w/ the custom ID#.
Any ideas? Thank you.
No one has been able to answer this but I figured it out myself.
I'm including the answer here in case anyone else ever comes across this and finds it helpful:
Create a new field that you will hide from the your SP list and from NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, and DispForm.aspx.
Using jQuery, populate that hidden field as such: $(":input[Title='fieldName']").val("1");
The using an SPD workflow, check to see if that field = 1. If so, run the workflow. AND at the end of that workflow set the field to 0 - that's important.
My problem seems simple. But have not been able to solve till now. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a listgrid showing certain records from a datasource. One of the fields is a many to one. When I try to edit any record, I get a dropdown with all the possible values that the record can have. All fine thus far. The issue is that all the dropdown values are displayed as simple text. I wish them to be displayed as shown in this link.
The requirement is to have "A SelectItem with icons" on the listgrid.

Use ListGridField.setEditorType() to customize the editor shown for a field. This API takes a FormItem, so pass a SelectItem configured similarly to the sample you linked to.
I'm sure this is an easy fix but I can't seem to find it. I just have a form, that will be a subform of another, that needs to display the results of a query.
The query is simple enough, just displays all fields of records that fall between specified dates. The query works great, but when I attach it to the form as its record source it doesn't display the data. I can see the correct amount of record selectors so I know its understanding the query but its as if all fields are hidden!
I have also tried building a query to the forms record source that was simply Select query.* From query. Oddly I have had this working before but I had to specify every field. What I mean is:
Select title From query
Select type From query
Select date From query
...
And so on for all the fields but this seems foolish, can anyone think of what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Edit, forgot to mention I also tried the foolish solution that I mentioned above and it didn't work so its definitely some issue that I'm not seeing, some property that's probably not appropriately set
#sshekhar well its not really code at the moment I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that needs to display a subform that executes this query of displaying records that have a data field that fall between dates specified by the user. The query works and displays the correct records, but the form that it is attached to only shows the record selectors and all the fields appear to be "hidden." I thought it may be one of the form's properties set incorrectly but I checked on the test form from another database that I used and each have what appears to be identical settings. So I'm at a loss!
So it turns out even though I using a query that holds all the fields it will not display the content unless you go to the Add Existing Fields and add all the the fields you want to see. This seems really silly especially when the results in the query but at least its working now.
I had this problem and discovered that having the property DataEntry set to YES will only display new records. From Microsoft Help:
You can use the DataEntry property to specify whether a bound form
opens to allow data entry only. The Data Entry property doesn't
determine whether records can be added; it only determines whether
existing records are displayed. Read/write Boolean.
We have a few bugs and change requests which have a complicated iteration path. This results in people coming over the team to ask 'Where do we raise items' a lot.
As you can't set a default value for the iteration path in TFS 2010 we think the best solution would be to add a string of text under the field which we can manually update every 7 weeks with the correct area to raise items in.
However TFS doesn't seem to allow just a line of text on its work items as a control. Is there a way to add a line of display text i.e. Not a field you edit, but just to inform those writing the items?
Please note that it needs to be visible at all times, using the tooltip 'help text' field on a control is not enough in this case.
You can use the LabelControl for this purpose.
You can not have a default in the work item for the iteration path, but what you can do is making use or the template url in web access or the work item templates in the power tools to create a work item that is prepopulated with values.
What about a custom field with a display control in read-only? You can give a default value to the field and the "read-only" control prevent other to change it.
