Add/change The Name Of A Control...
Apr 7, 2006
Just wanted a little help please. I have about 100 option boxes on a form and I want to be able to change the names of the option box and its label. I want to name them from 1 to 100 sequentially. (i.e. option1, option2 ...).
When I create the controls it automatically names them option0, option2 etc. and label3, label5 etc.
I was going to change them via some code but I don’t know how to refer to a control in a form from design view.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

I have a form with 2 tabs and a sub form on each of those tabs. form1, subformA, subformB on tab control - tabctrl - pageA, pageB. How can i set focus from one tab to another without actually clicking the tab?
I tried this:
TabCtl.Pages("page2").SetFocus
It's comming up with an error - "object required"
I also tried:
page.2.setfocus and that's comming up with an error that it's wrong syntax.
I also tried:
formMyForm.page2.setfocus and that says object required as well.

Please can someone tell me how to change the back colour of a control when it has the focus and then revert to the original colour when it loses it. I have 35 controls on my form, so I need a function, rather than changing the colour with a subroutine evey time.
I have searched the site and haven't found whatI want-though I'm sure this question has been asked before.

I have a report with subreports contained in it. Each subreport gets it's data from a different table.
I noticed subreport 1,2,3,4 are pulling the data from their corresponding tables. However, subreport 5,6, and 7 are pulling their data from the table relating to subreport 1.
I've checked the subreports themselves. They are referencing their own tables if I open them individually but not when opening the main report.
The report names all seem to be correct.
I've never seen anything like this before. Does anyone have some ideas??
Thanks.

I have a randomized table named tblRandomBoxes with the following data:
ID RandomID
1 4
2 5
3 2
4 6
5 1
6 3
I have 6 command buttons named command1,command2,command3, etc. and 6 Labels named Label1,Label2, Label3, etc. On Click of each command button, I want to lookup the ID based on the RandomID and set the backcolor of that label number to a different color.
ie) on command1 click me.Label4.backcolor = 39835
How can I 'build' the label number with the lookup? Here's the code I'm trying, but it doesn't recognize my 'built' label number:
Private Sub command1_Click()
Dim ctl As Control
ctl = "Label" & DLookup("ID", "tblRandomBoxes", "RandomID = 1")
Me.ctl.BackColor = 39835
End Sub
Thanks,
Sup

I have a CheckBox and a Field Date.
The latter has two conditions: If it is >=now() to be the font is RED and if <=Now() that the font is GREEN
Now, what I need is that pressing the CheckBox, ignore both conditions and that the font color is set GRAY

I am using an active x control that when you right click on it, it automatically pops up an "About" box showing information about the control. I wouldn't object to this, but I need to use the right mouse down event for another purpose in my program. So far I have discovered that the code I put in the the event works, but only after the "About" box pops up. Is there anyway to cancel or prevent the popup? The reason that I need the right mouse down event is because is that I am already using the left mouse double click event, and I can't use the left mouse down event because then it always fires before the left mouse double click event. This control doesn't have any single click events. Ideas?

How do I conditionally change the Back Color and Alternate Back Color based on the value of notes.FollowUpDate? I have a continuous form using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub b_all_past_Click()
Me.resultsFrame.SourceObject = "FollowUp_bystaff"
Me.resultsFrame.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * From notes WHERE (((Notes.FollowUpDate) < Date()+1) And ((Notes.followup_person_id) = GetCurrentUserId()))ORDER BY notes.priority,(notes.FollowUpDate) DESC;" '
End Sub

I know you can use a "Conditional format" to change a color of a control in a report. What I am trying to do is change the whole line if a condition yields "True" of one control. I did it once before, but oops I didn't save my work. I am using the format [Entity]![IT]. Where "Entity" is either the department or vendor, and "IT" is for the IT department. I want the control "Name" to change color if "Entity" is true if "IT" is the data.

I would like to change the text formatting (color, italics, bold etc) of the contents of a control based on a boolean value in the underlying datasource of the report.
For instance, I have a report that generates a "Proforma Invoice" i would like to ability italicize the prices of certain items based based on a boolean value (EstimatedPrice) in the underlying datasource.

I am trying to make something like custom bar chart on a form using rectangles. I made 4 rectangles (BarBZ, BarBA, BarKI and BarMA) and have the following code:
Code:
Dim PctBZ As Double
Dim PctBA As Double
Dim PctKI As Double
Dim PctMA As Double
PctBZ = Me.BZ / (Me.BZ + Me.BA + Me.KI + Me.MA)
[Code] ....
It works perfectly except... the rectangles grow/shrink downwards and not upwards. As a result the bars are aligned to top, while I would like to have them aligned to bottom.

I have an unbound form with a combobox which needs to be validated before the control is updated.In the Before Update event I check that the value is valid and need to reset the value back to the previous value if not valid and then change focus to another control.I thought that the following code would work but the selected value remains in the control and I cannot move the focus to another control.
Code:
Private Sub cboYears_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim dteNewDate As Date
dteNewDate = DateSerial(Val(Me.cboYears), Month(Me.txtCalendarHeading), 1)
[code]....

Hello, how can I change the "default" textbox properites.
When ever I place a new textbox on the form it has certain properties which I must always change.
For example I want all my textboxes to be flat not sunken and to have a solid border style. Currently the default is sunken and transparent border so I must always change it.
I know how to do it via VBA... just want to do it immediately using default.
I am assuming it's somewhere in Windows Registry?
Thanks

I am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form
2346 location warehouse price 29.99 (button - green)
2347 location shop price 29.99 (button - red)

I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?

I have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
See the attached image ...

I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.

I have not done much work in later version of Access. Now I found if I change a design in one form and similar forms (names are different) which are linked to the same tables got changed as well without openning them up and making changes. Is this something new with Access 2003?
Thank you very much for help.

OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?
Main Form: frmMemberMain
Tab Control: TabCtl12
Tab Control Page: 2
Subform: frmChildren
Control on subform: txtRelationship
Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:

Hi,
I have reviewed the posts for 'Control Validation' and dowloaded the sample database kindly posted by ansentry.
In the PaymentAmount example, a name has to be entered in the first control before an amount is enterered in the second control. If the controls and tab order are reversed, the validation doesn't work.
I have a form where the 1st Control needs validating before moving on. The code below doesn't work.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Employee_No) Then
MsgBox "Employee No Required", vbCritical, "Data required "
Cancel = True
Me.Employee_No.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Any help greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to switch log on
ie from within a db, opened as one username and password decide want to run db as other user , rather than close the db and reopen it (entering new usrname and password) , can I build a form where you just enter the new username and password, and continue running the db as the new currentUser?

Hi, hope someone knows the answer to this one...:p
We started a new business and built a db for expecting our work to happen a certain way, but now find it's very different and need to change the structure before it's too late to fix. Can someone please take a quick look at this idea & tell me if it's likely to cause major problems down the road?
People send in applications for specific groups/clubs. We thought they would arrive separately, so we set it up to enter each application and then add them to the Group listing one by one. TblApplication is a many-many with tblGroup, with junction tblGroupAppl. (People can be in more than one group.)
As we go along, however, we are finding the opposite: all the individual applications are being sent together by the club and so now we could actually turn this into a simple 1-many with tblGroup as parent and tblApplication as child. It seems like it would be much easier with queries and such if that extra step could be eliminated.
If I go through and put the GroupID on each record of tblApplication, can you see anything I might be inadvertently wrecking with this approach?
Any ideas/suggestions would be most appreciated!!
Thanks, this forum is amazing.

Hi,
I have a form with a subform that is set to continuous.
I have a field [Info][.RemovedP]. What i want is if RemovedP = -2 then i want the bg colour of JUST that record to be changed.
The default is blue, so what i will then get is blue bg for all the records accept if the RemovedP ='s -2, it will then be red.
Hope this is clear enough.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a form with 6 field boxes - What I want to do is - on change of any of the fields value will change the background colour of all the fields in that record.
When I go to the next record all the fields will be their original colour until I change the value in any of the fields again - however if I am browsing the records - no colour change takes place.
I do not know how to code this:confused: - I would appreciate any clues to solve this.
Many thanks
Cliff
