When opening Access, the default printer changes from "Letter" to "User-Defined". The output is then unreadable. I then change it back to "Letter" and all is fine until I reopen Access with the same result.
I'm using Access 2003 with a Brothers HL1440
How can I make Access leave the printer's default setting as it is?
I am having some problems setting the default value of a field to the user name of the person logging on to the database.
I have created a *.mdw for my individual database and would like to include the current user id of the user creating a new record.
Anyone out there have any ideas how i would go about doing this?
:confused:

My workstation has a default printer that only prints A4, but I have an Access 2007 file with reports that require A3.
When I open these reports they see the A4 'default' printer.
If I try to change to the A3 printer in the report page setup (in design or print preview mode) it doesn't change - it keeps the default 'A4' and/or Access crashes.
If I change my workstation default printer to
The A3 printer and then open the Access file & report it works Ok (it picks up the A3 printer as default).
Can I use VBA to set the default printer and page setup to A3 when the report opens?
Hi,
I'm trying to set a default value to field in a form. The field relates to Table 1 and I need a value from Table 2 as Default!
I've tried entering an SQL query:
Select Max(ID) From.... ;
But it doesn't work! Maybe It's just a question of syntax??
Thanx for your help.
I am trying to set a default value in a date field. I would like for the default value for this field to be the date thirteen days from the last date entered. How would I go about doing that... Any help would be greatly apprecated.

I am not sure if I am even able to do this, but I am wondering how to set the default value for a field when creating a database using SQL. I am doing everything with coldfusion and I havn't been able to figure out what code needs to be there. I have tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHey guys,
I'm not sure how to do this, and I can't find any info about it, but is it possible to set a value for my date field to accept either
1) date
2) "TBD"
3) null
Is there a way to allow and exception of "TBD"?
Hi, im new to the forums - this is my first post.
On a form i have a text box which holds the date that a file batch was taken to be processed. Each file holds the date of when the batch it originated from was taken. At the moment for ease of use the 'Default Value' of the text box is set to the batch's date.
I want to set it up so i can change the default value of the cell, so that when a new batch is to be processed the new date becomes the default value.
I am invisaging a button which brings up another form with a text box into which the new date can be put. when the form is saved and closed, the date recieved cell on the master form assumes the new default value.
gawd... methinks that was an awful explanation.
please help!
I have a report with a number of text, date and combo boxes. We quite often add items that are very similar, so it would be useful if the values you've just entered were kept the same for the next item. Then you can just change the odd field that's different. Is there a way to achieve this?

I would like to know how to set a fields default value on a table.
Eg - i have a Yes/No field that and i want the default value to be set to 'Yes'.
I cant use the front end application because the form its on is a generic form used by about 30 other tables.
At present it is not set to anything and so always defaults to 'No' on the form.
Thanks in advance.
I have a membership database. A number of members go by their middle names or a nickname rather than their first name. I need to keep track of their real full names, but I want the new-record default of the preferred name field to equal the contents of the first name field. How do I set this in the table design? The table already has 1400 records, and it would be quite a job to manually copy each first name to the preferred name field, a job I would rather avoid.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form for new customers. One of the fields is the product they have chosen ("new model", "old model", etc.) in a drop down Combo box. I want default pricing to appear in the form based on the what user selects for the product. But, I am getting nothing shown in the price box after choosing the product.
I've tried two approaches but with no luck. What am I doing wrong? This is in the default property for "price"
=DLookUp("[priceDefault]","tbl_products","[product]= '" & [productChosen] & "'")
=DLookUp("[priceDefault]","tbl_products","[product]= " & [Forms]![frm_CustomerRegistration]![productChosen])

I have a combo box field on a Student Details form that displays the Student's class number. For a new record, I am able to set the default value in the control's Default Value property with a literal in quotes (ie., ="2015-1"). But I want to set the default value from a query field. However, when I specify the query field in an expression ((=[Current Class]![Class Number]), "#Name?" appears in the field when initiating a new record on the form.
The control source for is the field in the Students table ([Students.[Class Number]).
The Row Source is a query of the Class table.
How can I set the control's default to the Class Number value in the Current Class query?
I have a drop-down list that when a person's first name is selected then it will fill in the person's middle and last name. Is it possible to use a name that is frequently used as the default so that it is always filled in on the form? More specifically, how will it work so that the other fields (middle name and last name) will also be filled in with the default first name? Or is this not possible to do?

How to set a new record view as default in form view???

I want to have a form that lists every record in a table or query, and along side each, I would like a checkbox, indicating whether or not I'd like that record to be in my 'query' or not. Please help?
I.e. I have a table with a names and data. I want to see a form with the names, and a checkbox by each, so that a query can be run, and the only records displayed are those with '1'/'True'/'Yes'/'Checked'.
Thank you again for your invaluable time...

I have a blank form that is usually entered from scratch, so all the fields are empty.
We do fill out the form with standard data occasionally, so I'd like to be able to assign a button or use a combo box to automatically fill those fields with predetermined data.
Two questions:
1) Can I use a 'on click' for a button to populate the data using this:
Code:
Me.Control1.DefaultValue = Chr(34) & Me.Control1 & Chr(34)
2) If I have a default value fill a combo box, will it save the bound column correctly since I didn't select it from the drop down itself?
Is there a method of setting the default value for new entries to the same value as the previous entry?
For example, I have a quality control information table that stores QC data for different lot numbers. It is annoying to enter in the lot number and product code field over and over again if there are dozens of records per lot number. Is there a way for Access to easily display the previous entry as the default value?
How to set focus to a non Default instance of a form.
Environment
A2007 ADP Project
Document Window Option - Tabbed Documents
MS SQL 2012 Express DB
Windows 7 64 Bit
I using Allen Browne's method to open more that one version of form, storing each form object in a collection declared in a module. No problem there.
Now I'm trying to add a command button on an form to set focus to one of these non-default instances already open.
The form I am trying to set focus to has a the following related properties
Default View: Split Form
Pop-up: No
Modal: No
The form that has the command button on it is of the same type.
Here is the code I've tried:
'Code on Calling Form
Private Sub cmdProjectList_Click()
Dim FunctionResult As Boolean
If AppForms.GoToForm("ProjectList") = False Then
AppForms.Load_ProjectList
[Code] .....
The code compiles and executes with seemingly no problems. It finds the form loaded, then cycles though and finds the form in Forms but the SetFocus call seems to do nothing. When I run the code against a defualt instance ( one not opened using Allen Browne's method) it works fine and sets focus to it as expected.
I am creating a database that should be fairly simple. The database is for a local racetrack and I'm stuck on how to entering race results. I have four tables: Driver, Rank, Home, Class. The form to enter in the results contains a main form with a subform. On the main form there are two combo boxes, one to select the Class of the race, and one to select the Heat of the race: i.e Finals, 1, 2, 3. The subform currently has a text box containing the rank of the driver for that race and the driver's name. I want the Rank to automatically start at one and increase by one each time a new driver is added. The rank field is part of the primary key but cannot be an autonumber field because there will be multiple ranks in the rank table. The rank table contains a primary key of: Class_ID, Rank, Heat. Therefore, each class/heat combo needs to start at 1 and increase. I created a query that finds the max rank value of the class/heat combo and I thought I could use that value +1 for the default value of the Rank field but I'm not having any luck. I have attached the database so that you can see what I all have as there isn't any sensitive information. If it would be easier doing it some other way than using the query that is fine to. I'm open to anything that works. I also want the Driver combo box in the Rank form to be limited to only contain drivers whose Class_ID matches that of the selected class in the main form. I have the row source set up sot that it works when I make my first selection when entering the form but not when I change the selected class and I do have an After_Update event set for requerying. It seems this should be so simple but I'm just missing something. Thanks in advance for your help!
