I have the code to add the text to a textbox, but what I would like to do is rather than to keep adding the text onto the end. Make it so that it will add it before what I previously added, so that the newer data is always at the top.
Can I do this? The following is how I'm currently entering the data into the textbox:
If IsNull(Me.LastContact) Then Me.LastContact = Me.List35.Value & " contacted " & Me.List38.Value & " by " & Me.cmboEngagement & " on " & Date & vbCrLf & _ txtInput.Value Else If Not IsNull(Me.LastContact) Then Me.LastContact = Me.LastContact & vbCrLf & Me.txtInput.Value End If End If
I have a text box that I only want people to add new data to. I would like them to be able to view previously entered data but not able to edit it. I've tried to lock the data but then I can't add new data.
Hi Apologies first if there is an easy answer to this post as I'm new to Access.
I have a notes box on a form that users update with the latest progress of work done. At the end of each progress I would like Access to automatically add the date, time and user's network id so that I can track who did what and when.
When I send a customer a work order, I want the final page to be a list of conditions of the current sale. In Word, it is nearly a full page of 7pt font with bold and italic. What is the best way to add this to the end of my report in Access?
I am trying to add text to a report. I am using Access 2007.My report is tied to a query. The query contains 2 fields-Hostname and MAC Address
I want run a report against the query, but need to add several commas. So the output of the report would look like this: hostname,MAC Address.
I then want to export the report to a plain CSV file.I thought I could just add a textbox with a comma in the report, but that didn't work well. When I added the text box, Access also created a column header that I did not need.I've also noticed that when exporting a report to CSV format, there are several characters (pipes and such), that work with the formatting of the report. Is there any way to remove this formatting?
Basically I have a text box on a form that needs to be a certain size. The actual text that is populating the text box is too many characters to be displayed. How do I make the text box display the first 3 characters and then an ellipses following?
Also I thought about making a new unbound textbox with ellipses, however, my form is continuous, so even though the some text boxes have empty strings, the ellipses will still be present.
Some pseudocode of what I'm guessing it will look like:
[(If(String(Me![NotesField] > 3 characters) then Return(Left(String(Me![NotesField], 3)" & "..."))]
I'm importing the contents of lots of text files using a combination of a loop and DoCmd.TransferText.
This works fine and I can get the contents of several hundred files in a few seconds. The files are called 1.dbb, 2.dbb... and each has an associated image file, 1.bmp, 2.bmp... etc. After the import I move the files to a new folder.
I need to create a link to the bmp file but this information is not included in the text file so I need to rely on a field which contains the file name.
How can I populate a field at import time to include the name of the imported file?
I have a daabase that I am importing via excel. I want the entries to be numbered ex: MT0001 MT0002 etc....
I would like it to promt the user for the last number(or next number in sequence) entered, then fill in the blank records with the next increment number. The prefix will also change to so eventually the user would enter into the prompt RD0001. then autofill the 140 imported records with RD0002, rd0003... etc....
I can't really make seperate fields because the MT0001 number will become a barcode and putting them seperate causes many issues.
can this be done? Any help would be great I am still a beginner but slowly learning! Thanks!
Trying to make a simple clock inside my form. So far I got my clock but it isn't running. It only get's the time when I open the form but I want it to keep track of time.
Searched the forums but couldn't find anything that relates to this problem.
Hey, im developing a taxi service database and i am working on adding new customers to the customers table through a form using text boxes. Im wondering if its possible to have text boxes as inputs and once all the data is entered (first name, last name etc) have a button to simply click and have all the data transferred to the table. Im also trying to do this without having all other records shown as well.
I've included a screen and the db to show you what i mean: http://shieldfilez.fasthost.tv/images/screen.jpg
I am trying to sum the row in a access form. There are 3 text boxed called TXT1, TXT2, TXT3. I have added an additional text box and typed the following txt;
=([TXT1]+[TXT2]+[TXT3])
Instead of totalling the row it just puts the number together. For example TXT1 contains 1. TXT2 contains 2, and TXT3 contains 3 so the answer should be 6 (1+2+3) but it shows 123. I have tried putting SUM in front but that gives me the total of the whole column not just that row.
I was checking if it is possible to add a text option after creating Look Up Tables, and I am also getting extra spaces while creating lookup tables where the drop down list goes more than 100 items.
I have copied a VBA from the net and it is working fine and producing my report on outlook body text but one problem me facing is that it is pasting only first page if the second page is there it is not coming in outlook text body this what i want rest every thing is correct the code is:
Private Sub Command88_Click() Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 3 Dim fs, f Dim RTFBody, strTo Dim MyApp As New Outlook.Application Dim MyItem As Outlook.MailItem
I have globally defined 'Progress' as integerer and using the following code on my splash screen - i want to add a "." to the end of the label caption until progress = 10 (10 timer events)
Private Sub Form_Load() Progress = 0 End Sub
Code: Private Sub Form_Timer() Dim Dot As String Dot = "." Progress = Progress + 1 Me.lblProgress.Caption If Progress = 10 Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmLogin" DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmSplash" End If End Sub
I have a form AddNewEquipment. This is bound to a table, EquipmentDetails.
EquipmentDetails has a Yes/No field, 'ParentChoice'. So when EquipmentDetails.ParentChoice = Yes, I want to open up a new text box, AddNewEquipment.ParentDescr, into which someone can put some text. This text I want to append as a new row in a different table, ParentList.ParentName. (that table also has an autonumber field)
I only want to do the save when I save the whole form.
Is this something like using an On Lost Focus event from the ParentDescr field which only invokes when the overall form save button is clicked? What would I put in the On Lost Focus event.
I have 2 tables Master table (Jobs) containing the primary key ("Job Reference") and 2nd table (Candidates) with the foreign key ("Job Reference")
2 Forms
frmJobs Form to view job details frmCandidates form to view Candates information
I have placed add new candidate button on the frmJobs form which opens the candidate form in the add mode as a blank form. This is fine but I'm looking to add a record where it picks up the "Job Reference" text field value from the main frmJobs and update it in the "Job Refernce" text field on the frmCandidate when I click add new candidate.
How can I achieve this? I'm fairly new to access/vba
I'm trying to make a database to track inventory or several items. Basically, I have four tables:
1) RawMaterialList - includes a list of all raw materials. 2) PartList - includes a list of all finished product using said raw materials. 3) RawMaterialRecieving - contains details from each packing slip of incoming raw materials. 4) ShipmentRecord - contains details of daily shipments.
Each of these tables is fed by a form of the same name. I should note at this point that I basically taught myself how to use Access and I imagine I'm in the dark about quite a few things it can do. I've made several databases over the last few years, but I'm stumped at this point.
Here's my problem. In the form RawMaterialReceiving, I have several fields aside from basic information:
1) Item - a list of of raw materials from table RawMaterialList 2) Description - also dependent on info entered into table RawMaterialList 3) Quantity
My problem is I want to add up the quantities of each raw material and I'm not sure how to go about that. Lets say on May 13, I received 15pcs of Part A and 20pcs of Part B. I enter this information as Item1 and Item2 respectively. On May 14, I received 30pcs of Part B. I enter this information under Item1. Now I want to add up all of Part B (50 pcs). But Part B has one value listed in the field Quantity1 and one value listed in the field Quantity2.
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure] Private Sub imagename_Click() Me.imagename = Me.FileName End Sub
In my form's text box I have noticed that I can;t write paragraphs ie use the TAB key to start a new line. If I use rich text I assume this will be possible. But are there any disadvantages to using rich text?
We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0) Dim sPath As String sPath = "G:Temp.html" Open sPath For Output As 1 Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>" Close #1 What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)
I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
My database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
I have a column which contains "text digit text" as "AAA 222 BBB". The numbers of letters or digits can vary.
I need to SELECT the column which contains digits in a specific interval. For Example I have "DFS 673 JKK" "A 3454 LJLJ" "SD 854 JKLJD"
I need to SELECT the column which contains 600 < Digit < 700 the result of the query in this case would be "DFS 673 JKK" because 673 is between 600 and 700.
