How do you add a horizontal scroll bar to a list box? I know that access will add a horizontal scroll bar when neccessary, but it will not add one to my list box. Is there a way to manually add one?

Hi, In MS Access,
In the form design,
How can I change the Vertical Scroll bar color?
I want to keep it for using, but the color is always grey color.
How can I change the color of the scroll bar?
Thanks.
Settings are:
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0"; 20"
Bound Column: 1
Width: 9.5417"
Why am I not getting a horizontal scroll bar?
If I add a 3rd column in I get a horizontal scroll, but it scrolls from column to column instead of across the full text of one column.
I have a form in datasheet view, with the record ID column frozen and users typically scroll to the right to see certain columns. Different users scroll to a different position.
I dont have the option to reduce the number of columns or create separate forms for different users, - they all need to see all the columns but typically a user scrolls horizontally to see a certain set of columns most of the time. I want to save that position for the next time they open the form.
Is it possible to change the scroll type to a "smooth" scoll when I'm in table view of a table?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have access 2013 windows 7, I'm trying to expand the record keeping on a database someone else designed. I've added the fields i need to the Recordsource(s) (the table, query, and working on the form as well) I can't make the report any larger it seems (its currently at 22") and i need to add another "page" worth of fields horizontally; is there a way to do that? and also to replicate the header and other key fields so they're on that 3rd page.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a text box and a list box in a form.
When the user types in something in the text-box i want the closest matching record (based on the first column) of the list box to be scrolled to.
For eg.
Text in Text box is Kan
Then the list box should scroll to records starting with Kan.
I am currently achieveing this using Sendkeys as i have rarely used list boxes but would prefer a cleaner method if possible.
it is possible to be able to scroll through a List Box with just a mouse over? Or, do you need to set focus on the ListBox before being able to scroll?

Currently we have Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 64bit with Server Manager Version: 6.1.7601.17514 SP1 on a cumputer with 8GB RAM and an Intel Celeron G550 2.6GHz processor. All software is up to date with MS updates.
We are having a problem with dropdown lists that have too many items to show in the drop-down window so there is a scroll bar. If I click on the down arrow and open the drop down list, and then click on the scroll bar, the access window locks up. If I only click on a choice in the drop-down, but not the scroll bar, it works fine and does not lock up. Once access is locked up, I can click on another window on the desktop and then Access becomes active again. This does not happen on windows 7.
I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD()
On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False
Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO
Exit Sub
I have a form that has a list; the list is retrieving some names from a table.
e.g
Table name is “ITname”
and I have a filed named “name” with the following: john, peter, mike, rock.
On my form under my list I have a delete button, I want to the button to delete the selected record from the list, how can I do that?
Adding, I also have a textbox and a button which will add a new IT which is inserted in the textbox, how can I do that?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Does anyone know of a way to allow a user to add further info to another field on the same record that's created by a combo box that is using the Not In List method?
Dim strsql As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim Msg As String
'Exit this sub if the combo box is cleared
If NewData = "" Then Exit Sub
Msg = "'" & NewData & "' is not in the list of Callers names." & vbCr & vbCr
Msg = Msg & "Do you want to add it?"
i = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Unknown Caller...")
If i = vbYes Then
strsql = "Insert Into tblCallersName([CallersName]) values ('" & NewData & "')"
CurrentDb.Execute strsql, dbFailOnError
Response = acDataErrAdded
Else
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
I need to log a persons name & phone number without having to re enter it again the next time.
To log the name I use a combo box that lists all the previously added names & it also allows you to add further details if the name does not already exist
I now need to work out how to also add the phone number without having to manually go into the names table to add it in.
If anyone understands what I'm talking about then you're halfway there :D
See attached db
thanks
This is probably something already talked about, but if i have a combo box that has an "Add New Entry" selection in it, and when the user clicks on it, i want to add what they want in to the table that the combo box chooses from. can I have that "Add New Entry" selection open a form with a text box, and then have that value enter into the table? What is the easiest way to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is a somewhat complicated question to explain, so please bare with me.
I have a form with a ‘list box.’ The box is populated using a Table/Query Row Source Type method. The table I am grabbing the list from is “Department,” where it contains a list of my company’s departments(ie. Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.).
Now, the only thing this table does not have is the word “ALL.” I need this word in the “List Box” because I want users to have the option to select ALL.
Is there anything in VBScript code wise or in Row Source that I can do to include this word?
I know I can manually go into the Department table to simply add the word, but this is not the point, because there is more to that(I have different list boxes that are grabbing lists from different tables, AND I have to refresh these tables twice a week). Please help.
Thank you.

I have a table Department
ID
DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT_EXPLINATION
I have a table Employee_Listing..This table includes:
Employee_ID (Primary Key)
LAST_NAME
FIRST_NAME
INITIALS
I have a table DISCREPANCY_LIST..This table includes:
DATE (Auto completes to current date)
EMPLOYEE_ID (Primary Key) (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
LAST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
FIRST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
INITIALS
DEPARTMENT
NUMBER_OF_UNITS
NUMBER_OF_DESCREPANCIES
NUMBER_OF_OK_UNITS
I have a form - DISCREPANCY_LIST..This form enters information into the DISCREPANCY_LIST table.The initials combo box is set: Limit to List Yes and Allow Value List Edits No If the user enters initials that are not stored in the Employee_Listing table they receive an error. Instead of an error I would like for them to receive a message asking if they would like to add these initials to the Employee_Listing table.If the user clicks Yes, then it will bring up the Employee_Listing form.If the user clicks No, then they are told to enter valid initials.
I have a list box on a form and I would like the user to have the possibility to add another item not from the list into the table using a command button. How can I do that?

What I would hope to be able to do is add a "standard" randomly to each SubmssionNumber (each SubmissionNumber might be 1-100 records). The record I need to add should be chosen at random from a list of 6 or so options and added at the end or middle or start of the job (SubmissionNumber) is this something that is easy to do or should I just give up and add it manually?
Thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past, it is getting me up to speed quickly. Access seems to be quite popular as I have contacted 3 developers to help with my dB but they are all to busy to help me so I am going it alone.
I have been asked if I can add a priority list to my database and I am trying to figure out how to do it.
The database already exists and this would be added code/forms. Basically this database has a number of users, all identified by a login name. Each of these users have several projects assigned to them. The projects are identified by a unique project number.
What I need to do is to be able to list all the projects that a user has, which is easy to do by simply creating a query, but then the user needs to be able to type in a priority number (1 to infinity) for each of these projects with no number repetitions. If a project priority is updated, say from 6 to 2, then the projects that had priorities 2 to 5, get a +1 added to their priority number so they go 3 to 6. Likewise if a project gets "demoted" (priority is lowered) then the ones below go up one.
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.

how do you loop through and insert selected data from a listbox on at a time?For example, lets say you have an insert statement that has a firstname, lastname, CarsID(foreign key) and address field. Lets say you had another table that has ID and CarsID(primary key) field. In the listbox, you have populated it with all the cars and they are selected.
Example:
INSERT INTO PEOPLE(firstname, lastname, CarsID) VALUES('John','Smith','Honda')
INSERT INTO PEOPLE(firstname, lastname, CarsID) VALUES('John','Smith','FORD')
I am creating a form in access. In the form there is a combobox in which I am adding items using RowSourceType as Value list and Row Source as Male;Female. What I require is whether there is some way so that when I select Male from combo box M is stored in database and with Female F is stored. I know how to achieve this with RowSourceType as Table/Query but not with RowSourceType as Value List.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to add image to list box but i read somewhere i have to use continuous sub form instead.
Now i like to know in sub form also we can select multi items and it shows highlighted entire of each row and easily getting value if selected items.
I have a table which contains a number of records, each with a load of different columns. However, the new way of doing H&S splits Risk Assessments into Short and Long COSHH forms. Each experiment only has one Short form, but can have from 0-20 (or more Long). I need a way of adding a box to the form that will return all the associated Long forms for that particular record. I have tried using List Boxes and Combo boxes as well as creating a separate table for the Long Forms, but it isn't doing what I had envisioned.
List boxes appear to do what I want, however they just dump all of the results from the selected columns into the table. I only want the data for the specific record in question. For example, my first record has 6 Long forms, but a list box basically just pusts a snapshot of the table in there rather than the specific results.
All the Short and Long Forms have to be hyperlinked to the associated documents. I have successfully done this for the Short.
