When I draw an action button, it resizes to just the size of the text, and gains 50% in size below and to the right of the resized button. I can not edit this extra space, but it appears in form view. If I resize the button, the extra space appears again the moment I scroll.
System specs
Software: Windows 7, Office 365. All updated.
Hardware: 16 GB RAM, 2x Nvidia GTX 560ti graphics cards
how to fix this.
It has been a month and I'm still 'stuck' on my Microsoft Access lessons due to a peculiar error. I have a video of the error, but it won't let me post a link until I have 10 posts. When I create an action button and then scroll at all, the button jumps in size 50% to the right and down, but this extra space can't be edited. Clicking on the 'extra space' is like clicking the background.
I have tried
1. Reinstalling Office 365
2. Reinstalling my graphics card drivers (Using a GTX 560ti SLIx2)
3. Manually entering the size for the buttons in the button properties (still increases in size)
I have a project where the schedule calls for a web-enabled database for 100+ users to merge five separate systems into one. If I can't get past this problem, I can't continue my lessons.
Good afternoon. I am brand new to posting on this forum but I have been using this forum for help since I started my new job and I would like to start off with thanking you all for that. :)
Now onto my problem:
I am currently trying to create a form in Access 2003 that can be easily read and seen because it will eventually be used as a touch screen interface. I have several text boxes on this form that simply display a counter's value that is updated by a neighboring updown control. The text displayed within the textbox is just the value of the updown control. This updown control is more specifically a Microsoft UpDown Control ver. 6.0 (SP4). Due to this interface ultimately being used as a touch screen, each and every button needs to be large enough so fingers can easily touch only one button at a time.
My problem is that I do not know how to change the size of the actual Up/Down buttons on this updown control. I can alter the height, yet I can not alter the width of these vertically oriented buttons. If anyone knows how to correct this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. The sites I looked through that deal with Visual Basic reference do not deal with resizing the updown buttons, but with other properties of the updown controls. Thank you for your time and assistance.
what I have is a password entry popup, it's very simple and there is only one password, so it's coded into the form.There is an unbound text box for the password, set with the password input mask.An OK button and an Exit button.The OK button has this code on the 'On Click'
Code:
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
If IsNull(passwordentry) Then
passwordentry = "*"
End If
[code]...
Now what I want it to do is automatically move to the OK button when the correct password is entered, so that you can just hit Enter.Currently you either have to press the OK button with your mouse, or hit Enter to move to the OK button and then press Enter again to activate it.
Hello everybody,
I’m new here and I have a question for you..
Is it possible to place round buttons or oval buttons on your forms instead of the normal square ones?

Hi
I have this Access application. Now I want to see the databases and fields defined.but when I open the access file, it straight opens the access application.
Then when i press Alt+F11, it opens VB Editor. Then when I click on Design mode it comes back to access in the design mode, but still does not shows the design mode for databases and reports and all.
I can remember there is one more step I need to do after getting into the design of the form.But I cannot remember that
Could anyone please help me out
thanks

Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

Is this possible? I can't seem to find this q anywhere here so I thought I'd post.
I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.
:confused:

I have set up a form to use for entering and specifying report criteria. I followed the instructions from general Access help. Everything worked fine in MS Access 2000. Now, I've transferred the database to a computer using MS Access 2003 and I get and error that says, "You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Visible. The property may not exist or not apply to the object you specified." If I change the Macro for the "OK" button from Action="SetValue", Item="[Visible]", and Expression="No" to Action="SetValue", Item="[Forms]![frmParameterQuery].[Visible]", and Expression="False", which I though may be the correct way to enter this for the newer 2003 version of Access, then I get a different error message that reads, "You don't have the license required to use this ActiveX control. You tried to open a form containing an OLE Object or an ActiveX control or you tried to create an ActiveX control. To obtain the appropriate license, contact the company that provides the licensed OLE Object or ActiveX control" Please help!

Migrated from access 2002 to 2007. the followhyperlink action is not picking up the complete data from a text box in a form. it leaves out the last digit/alphabet resulting in incorrect address.worked fine in 2002. any ideas?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi would like to log every action any member does on my database.i will have a log in screen(passworded) and i would like to record every button clicked. the only thing is i would like to include other things in the record aswell. like record changes. is there a neat little trick to do this or is it just going to be very labour intensive.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a form that has multiple text boxes. Was trying to add an Undo button that behaves exactly the same as the (Ctrl+Z) or the undo button used in microsoft access, word, excel ..etc. as it only undos one action in a click. When added the undo button i used just a normal button and added a code to it. if i type in different text boxes and press on the undo button it undos everything modified since the form was opened. Is there a way to change that ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to open a form with a specified record using double clicked event (list box) but access is throwin "The OpenForm action was cancelled". My code is:
Private Sub lstSchool_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

Dim thisForm As String
thisForm = "frmRegister"
test = "ID = " & "'" & lstSchool & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm thisForm, , , test

ID is a AutoNumber field. I have used this code in my other dbz and it works fine ....
What I need to do is get the name of a control when the mouse is over it. The problem is that I would need to make a custom macro/code for each control since there doesnt seem to be a way to retrieve the name of the control which initiated the mousemove action. Any ideas?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
On my Form I have a Label (Recnote) which gets changed by the VB code if criterior is true. My form does change this correctly however, once I quit (or close the Form) and come back, the changes dissappear.
But the strange thing is that every now and then it does save it.
Any ideas??? Any other command I should use?
The following works as it disables my Import button and changes the Label contents but does not save when exited
Private Sub CloseME_Click()
DoCmd.Requery
If [CountOfOracle Co] = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cannot Close ME Yet", vbOKOnly, "Circular Rec"
Else
Me.Recnote.BackColor = 65535
Me.Recnote.Caption = "Final Reconciliation"
Me.Recnote.ForeColor = 32768
Me.Import.Enabled = False
DoCmd.RepaintObject
DoCmd.Save
End If
End Sub
Can this be done??
I want to open a report, run an action query to create a table I want to use for the current report?? If It can how would I do it??
Thanks

I have created a search window that looks up certain invoicereport by invoice No. I have used this search method in other forms and has worked successfully!
However,
after I created the same thing for a report, I get this message: The Command or Action 'ApplyFilterSort' isn't available now.
I really don't understand the problem.
txtSearch = a textbox where user can type in any value to lookup a certain report.
rptInvoice = where I want the search to be placed.
fraSearch = an option group with (Starts with...,Contains...,Ends with..., Equals...)
InvoiceNo = the txtField in rptInvoice.
this is what I wrote for the cmdSearch button:
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdSearch_Click
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInvoiceno As String
' Check that the report is open
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acReport, "rptInvoice") <> acObjStateOpen Then
MsgBox "You must open the report first."
Exit Sub
End If
' Build InvoiceNo criteria string
If IsNull(Me.txtSearch.Value) Then
strInvoiceno = "Like '*'"
Else
Select Case Me.fraSearch.Value
Case 1
strInvoiceno = "Like '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 2
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "*'"
Case 3
strInvoiceno = "Like '*" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
Case 4
strInvoiceno = "= '" & Me.txtSearch.Value & "'"
End Select
End If
' Build filter string
strFilter = "[invoiceNo] " & strInvoiceno
' Apply filter to report
With Reports![rptInvoice]
.Filter = strFilter
.FilterOn = True
End With
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 2, , acMenuVer70
Exit_cmdSearch_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdSearch_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdSearch_Click
End Sub

Could anyone help me with this?
I have a form for users to be able to delete or edit records. I have 2 command buttons (Delete and Save), when I click on them I get this error "the command or action is not available now"... It was working fine before but for some reasons it stopped. Even two other buttons actioned by vba codes do not work (No message popping up for these 2)
I checked:
Allow Additions: Yes
Allow Deletions: Yes
Allow Edits: Yes
Nothing is blocked or locked.
I think it has to do with the query my form is based on, as I tried a dummy form based on a table and the button worked fine...? I tried re-creating query+form and no luck. I did remove a field from my query at some point this morning, not sure if this might be the cause of issue, as this field was not connected to anything in my form.
I have an Access Form called Database_Form, with a text box called Text22, and a button called Command42.
I also have a table, and query, as following:
Table 1, as in the below example:
Row_Number as Column header, and values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as rows.
Column1 as Column header, and values 0026007101, 0026007102, 0026007103, 0026007104, 0026007105, as rows.
Query 2, which has the criteria [Forms]![Database_Form]![Text22] for Row_Number Field.
Basically, i want that each time when i press the button Command42 and having the text box filled with value 1 (for row number 1), to repeat this step, but taking the next row_number and so on, until it finishes the last row.
The Query 2, should sequentially select the row number given in the text box, based on a VBA Code or something.
Is there any VBA code in order to achieve this ?
I have a form and I do not want the mouse wheel to move through the records - it is a single form view and I do not want the use to use the wheel as it corrupts my calculations.
Is there any way to allow input of numbers input without the wheeldoing anything
I am sure that I am just missing something.
Thanks very miuch in anticipation
Hi friends,

Hi there,
I like having the action query warning appear with what I am doing - "You are about to update xxx rows". The problem that I am having is that when my RunSQL statement in the code executes and selects no to the warning, I get the error -
Run-time Error '2501'
The RunSQL action was canceled.
How can I trap the no selection so that this vba error does not appear?
I use the Access 2007 runtime to run my Access database on a few client machines. How do I turn off the confirmation of Action Queries? On clients that are also running MS Access, I can simply open Access, go to Access Options and uncheck the box. When I make this change in Access, the same settings apply for the Runtime on that computer. Which makes me think perhaps there is a registry entry I can modify someplace? If anyone has an idea as to how to turn this off for the runtime please let me know.
Thanks!
