asked on How do I target records on an Access form that meet certain criteria?
I have a form on which I want to do something in records that meet certain criteria. In my test code below, I loop through the recordset for the form, but my code sets the values for every record to the values appropriate to the first record. The code below sets Text304 on every record to True if "rst!DateEntered > #9/27/2018 9:02:36 AM#" is true for the first record and every record to false otherwise.
Right now I'm just writing to a text field to diagnose the problem, but what I want to do is to make a field on certain records editable. How do I do that?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.txtTitle.SetFocus
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld As Field
Set rst = Me.Recordset
Do While Not rst.EOF
If rst!DateEntered > #9/27/2018 9:02:36 AM# Then
Text304 = "True"
Else
Text304 = "False"
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
Me.Refresh
End Sub

Sounds like Text304 is an unbound textbox. It will always show the same value for every record.
For debugging, use something like this:
For debugging, use something like this:
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
Do While Not rst.EOF
Debug.Print rst!ID.Value ' your primary key.
Debug.Print , rst!DateEntered.Value
If rst!DateEntered.Value > #9/27/2018 9:02:36 AM# Then
Debug.Print , "True"
Else
Debug.Print , "False"
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop

Thanks! That worked. Now, I tried setting the locked property of my Update field (probably a bad name), but I can't change the data in that field in any record.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.txtTitle.SetFocus
'Sub Print_Field_Names()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, intI As Integer
Dim fld As Field
Set rst = Me.Recordset
Do While Not rst.EOF
If rst!DateEntered > #9/27/2018 9:02:36 AM# Then
Update.Locked = True
Debug.Print rst!DateEntered & " " & "True"
Else
Update.Locked = False
Debug.Print rst!DateEntered & " " & "False"
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
Me.Refresh
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.txtTitle.SetFocus
'Sub Print_Field_Names()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, intI As Integer
Dim fld As Field
Set rst = Me.Recordset
Do While Not rst.EOF
If rst!DateEntered > #9/27/2018 9:02:36 AM# Then
Update.Locked = True
Debug.Print rst!DateEntered & " " & "True"
Else
Update.Locked = False
Debug.Print rst!DateEntered & " " & "False"
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
Me.Refresh
End Sub

Thanks again. I was thinking I had to loop through the records, but now the program just decides if the record is editable when the user clicks on it.
with DAO, you must remember to populate the Recordset as it only takes the records that have already been accessed
