View 2 Replies View RelatedParsing/formatting Textfields In A Report
Jan 11, 2005Hi,
Is it possible to parse, and format a textfield in a report on a line by line basis?
What I am trying to do is get a document to be processed into a printable format using reports. The text, and formatting information of each line, and any specific word details are stored in separate columns in the table. If, for example an entire line needs to be made Bold, I can get that done. What I would like to know is that if a word in a particular line needs to be formatted differently to the rest of the line, eg underlined, is there a way to do so?
For example, if I had the line as follows:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
I'd have the default, unformatted text as one field in the table, and the word, in this case quick, and it's formatting in another field of the table.
So rather than stating my question again, can it be done?
Thanks in advance,
Shaitan.
Populating Multiple Tables With Data
Nov 8, 2004I haven't used access for a long time so I am very rusty.
I have a few tables but I'll just use two for an example:
Table A
Ticket No
Part No
Defect Code
WorkCenter No
Clock No
(Ticket No is Primary Key)
Table B
Clock No
Supervisor
Employee
(Clock No is Primary Key)
Is there a way for me to create a form, that when Clock No is entered it will be placed in both tables?
Thanks in advance.
Populating Textboxes, With Multiple Records
Feb 19, 2006I have a customers form, on which i have a textbox to allow the user to search and show a record by surname. I have got it working, but i do not know how to accomodate the possibility that there might be two members with the same surname, e.g. Smith.(the PK is member ID)here is the code:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() Dim strMemberRef As String Dim strSearch As String 'Check txtSearch for Null value or Nill Entry first. If IsNull(Me![txtSearch]) Or (Me![txtSearch]) = "" Then MsgBox "Please enter a value!", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Search Criterion!" Me![txtSearch].SetFocus Exit SubEnd If 'Performs the search using value entered into txtSearch'and checks this against values in strStudentID DoCmd.ShowAllRecords DoCmd.GoToControl ("Surname") DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtSearch Surname.SetFocus strMemberRef = Surname.Text txtSearch.SetFocus strSearch = txtSearch.Text 'If matching record found sets focus in strStudentID and shows msgbox'and clears search control If strMemberRef = strSearch Then MsgBox "Match Found For: " & strSearch, , "Record Found" Surname.SetFocus txtSearch = "" 'If value not found sets focus back to txtSearch and shows msgbox Else MsgBox "Match Not Found For: " & strSearch & " - Please Try Again.", _ , "Invalid Search Criterion!" txtSearch.SetFocus End IfEnd SubCan anyone shed some light as to what I should do? Im looking to have a next button or something to show the rest of the records, or have the search button change to say next if there are more records.Thanks in advance

Forms :: Populating Multiple Textboxes On A Form
Sep 5, 2013I have a form and I am not sure of the best way to populate the multiple fields on it.
The form consists of a textbox to select a date (txtDate) and then once this date is selected I want the multiple textboxes on the form to be populated from data I have in a table.
The name of each textbox is a concatenation of "txt" the number of the person which is a number from 1 to 4 and then a time eg for 12 Noon it would be 1200 so the textboxes are from txt10800 to txt42000 i.e. each person has textboxes from 8.00am to 8.00pm in half hour intervals.
I need to use two tables to populate these textboxes as in the main table there are codes that have a relationship to fields within another table that holds attributes for that code. (eg code 123 could equal Service A in the second Table but 123 is what is held on the main table) Also in the main table I have a calculated field that creates the name of the relevant textboxes on the form.
If there is a textbox that will not be populated as there is nothing in that time period then I would like this to be left blank or Null.
Am I best creating a query and binding the form to this query or to leave it unbounded and use a recordset within VBA
Also what is the best way of using either
I am using Access 2013...
Populating A Table With Value From Cell Above Across Multiple Columns
Sep 15, 2014Doing Ctrl + ' will put in the value from the cell above it. But I want to do this across 4 columns. On one row, I am selecting across 4 columns and doing Ctrl + ' and only the first cell populates with the value above it.
Is there a way to get the 3 other columns to populate with the value of them (the values are different across all columns).
Forms :: Populating Data From A Table With Multiple Fields?
Sep 25, 2013I am trying to create the form so when the first field (Start Date) has a date selected, it limits the following field (Report Date) to the matching available data, and same with the third field (Production Division) on the previous two.
I also need the form to allow new dates / production division combinations, but not duplicate.
I starting working with a cascade function but got confused and not sure if that is where I should be headed.
I have attached 2 different formats of the same sample data.
Multiple Query Results Not Populating Report Properly
Sep 29, 2011I currently have a combo box (combo121) on a form. I select the "Company" which is connected to "Company" in the query via [Forms]![courseinfo].[combo121]..That is working. When I press the "query" button on the form the selected company in the combo box is updated in the query and it updates the report templates.I also want to use the same system to populate a different report, using the same query. This works a bit differently.
Once the company is selected in the first combo box(combo121). I have other combo boxes which bring up students attached to that company. I have multiple combo boxes because I need select multiple students for the one report. These students are in fields "First Name" and "Last Name". So in the query I can only have those fields once. I have several links to the several combo boxes under "Last Name" as that is the "bound" selection for the combo box:
[Forms]![courseinfo].[comboname1]
[Forms]![courseinfo].[comboname2]
[Forms]![courseinfo].[comboname3]
Problem I am finding is this is bringing up several lines in the query. So when I try to populate the report with all of the different Students I have selected for the query, it won't work properly because I can only put "First Name" & 'Last Name" fields on the report once.
Forms :: Continuous Form With Textfields As Records - List Of Years With Totals Of Hours
Jul 1, 2015I have a continious form with textfields as records. Its about total course hours that are calculated. There is a field in the records that holds and calculates the hourse that one have done and another field that holds the max hours they may follow for one year.
Every record has h different year.
When the amount of hours in the transmission textfield is negative, they can transmit the hours to te next year. Therefore i have to calculate the Max hours per Year + the transmission hours.
So the calculation is not a problem. Though i don't actually know where i can trigger the calculation. I have tried it with a button on the form, but then the user always have to click to see the right amount of hours for the next year. That's not handy. I am looking for a way to automatically calculate the field Max hours per year. Given that the Max hours per year is a bound field, its bound to a table where i stock the Max hours that i have calculated.
I also tried it with the button that's used for inserting new course hours, but then it calculates with the old values instead of the new ones.
How can i trigger the calculation automatically without using a button.

I have a few thousand products each with their own code and description.
I would like to create a form that when I type in the code the description self populates in an adjoining box. I would like to enter at least fifteen codes and their descriptions per form.

Populating Fields
Mar 12, 2008I am looking to populate fields of one form based on another table with about 100 records.
Information
Table Name: 1) StaticInfo
2) Data
Form Name: EntryForm (Based on the Data table)
I want to be able to select a value in a combo box in the EntryForm and have certain fields populated in that form based on the StaticInfo table.
Want to use all of the fields in StaticInfo to populate the same fields in Data. Historical data in the Data table needs to remain intact, meaning that if something is changed in the StaticInfo table, the historical records will remain unchanged in the Data table.
So, if I am able to select a department in a combo box in the EntryForm and have the fields populated in this form based on the StaticInfo table, will the records in the Data table change or not change if there are changes made to the fields in the StaticInfo table?
Also, could someone provide a method as to how I would go about populating these fields from table to form.

Populating Dates
Sep 19, 2006I have two tables. One is a simple two column table with Short Date and the corresponding Day of Week. My second table is an employee schedule based on Day of week. I bring the two together by the "Day" variable to generate a schedule for a specific time period, but I also want it to return the days where there is no data.
For example, I have a schedule listing like this:
J SMITH MON 8:00 16:00
J SMITH TUE 8:00 16:00
J SMITH WED 8:00 16:00
J SMITH THU 8:00 16:00
J SMITH FRI 8:00 16:00
My result is this:
J SMITH 9/18 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/19 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/20 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/21 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/22 8:00 16:00
I want to see the following:
J SMITH 9/18 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/19 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/20 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/21 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/22 8:00 16:00
J SMITH 9/23
J SMITH 9/23
Is there any way that i can see this without manually entering the "Days Off" in the main table?

Populating A Text Box
Mar 30, 2006Hi guys ( and girls)
Ok so Im a noob but I have a problem with populating textboxes
This is basicly the code
' dim some variables
Dim var1(10)
Dim var2(10)
Dim var3(10)
Dim var4(1000)
w = 290
y = 0
For x = 1 To 10
y = y + 1
w = w + 1
var3(x) = y
' set focus and get some data
Set ctl = Combo277
var0 = IIf(Nz(ctl.Value) = "", "", [Combo277])
var1(x) = DLookup(var3(x), "variable type", "[machine] = [machine]")
' compair the data and do some more stuff
If var1(x) = "" Then var2(y) = ""
If var1(x) = "1" Then var2(y) = "Set"
If var1(x) = "2" Then var2(y) = "Act"
If var1(x) = "3" Then var2(y) = "Prod"
' this is where I am having trouble- var 4(w) holds the name of the text box that I wish to use on my form
' and var2(y) holds the data I wish to place in the text box
' so how can I tell the code that the data in var4(w) ,290 for example, is actually a textbox name instead of
' just a numeric variable??
var4(w) = var2(y)
Next x
So any help would be excepted with blind thankx
Tankx in advance Chris
Self Populating Form
Jun 21, 2006Hi everyone. I'm new to database design and hoping htis is a simple question.
I have nine thousand products each with their own code and description. I want a form that allows me to enter a product code and will then self populate an adjoining box with the corresponding description. I would like to enter at least fifteen codes per form.
I tried a linked form and sub form with a child/parent link but the tables info can be changed if the form user edits/deletes etc a code.
I tried a parameter query but don't know how to do more than one and the format isn't really suitable.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Populating A Table?
Feb 11, 2005I have an expression in a field on a report. I would like that calculation to populate my table. Do I ad something to the expression in that field that would tell it to take the sum of the field and place it in the table? What would the expression look like?
The report is created from the results of a data entry form.
Text Box Not Populating
Mar 16, 2005Dear All:
Code:
Private Sub text458_AferUpdate()
If Graduation_date = 2/1/2005 Then
TEXT_GRADUATION_DATE = "DATED AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK THIS FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND FIVE."
End Sub
The Graduation_date is a combobox where the dates are selected. In a textbox titled "TEXT_GRADUATION_DATE", it should return "DATED AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK THIS FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND FIVE."
This text box is blank.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance,
