How do I get my labels and controls to line up vertically? If I click on align and up or down, they all get moved on top of each other with no spaces inbetween them. I want an equal amount of space inbetween them. How do I do this?
View RepliesI cannot link a label with a control. I don't know how it happens, or rather how I do it, but on various forms the label is not linked to the proper control. I try to do it by clicking on the warning popup on the right side and indicate I want to associate the label with the control, but sometimes it just doesn't work. That is, if I set the visibility of the control to True or False depending on the value of another control, the label still appears.
I've looked in the properties of each, but there doesn't seem to be anything there to indicate the link or association. Other than laboriously copying and pasting the label back on the form with the control highlighted, is there any way else to do this?
Is there anyway to change the justification of text in a table heading on in the contents? I've searched high and low for an answer but can't find it.
Also, can a table heading have different text & colour than the table contents?
Thanks.

I have a field in my database that list the number of personnel folders a person has, I would like to print labels for each folder for that person. For example, if a person has 4 folders I would like to print 4 of the same label at once by clicking the command button I have set up to print the label. The default is set to 1 label but I need the number of labels to change according to the number of folders listed. Can this be done and if so how?I will be using Avery 4031-20 labels

Greetings,
Have an address list with over 600 names, and I need to create mailing labels.
Have First Name, Last Name fields, with city, state zip. BUT...
There is also a field called SPOUSE. This field is NOT always populated.
I need a query that I'll use to create the mailing labels that will;
Have the FIRST NAME SPOUSE NAME LAST NAME
If the SPOUSE field is blank, I need the query to filter that out, so that the address lable will only show First Name and Last Name, without a blank space in between.
Also need the query to put the '&' sign in IF there is a spouse.
Example 1: John & Jane Doe
Example 2: John Doe
Any assistance will be appreciated!

Uh, hi. I'm new to using access, and I'm wondering if its possible to display an autonumber at the top of a form in a label box. For example, if I had a field set to autonumber and was ading a new record to the database, could I display the autonumber field on the actual form?

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to change the format of the mailing labels once the report has been created? I have one that has 24 labels on it, but I need for it to have 30.
Also I can't remember how I created it in the first place. What steps do I need to go through to make a new report?
creating mailing labels starting with an Excel Workbook imported into Access. When I get to the point of previewing the labels, there seem to be maybe 10 blank labels. I don't have a clue how this could happen but I obviously don't want to waste the ten or so labels (out of about 90 total). setting the print area and removing empty Worksheets, but nothing works.

I have created a report for labels using the Label Wizard, and found the code on the MS KB about skipping the labels that have already been used, and printing on the next one along.
Page on MS KB (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299024)
When I try using this code in Access 2003 however, it seems to go into some sort of loop, and produces 100+ pages for the report when I try and skip 1 label for example.
Can anyone help me get this working for 2003?

I have a report that is broken down by regions. Each Region could have multiple entries for each. I would like to have a Summary at the bottom that counts each Region on the report and gives a total for the report. What I am getting is it counts each time there is an entry for the region. I assume since I have the Region as a Header it still thinks it is listing it multiple times. Any help???

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in the middle of doing a huge survey at work. The end resut will be a report which reflects the survey answers as graphs.
The graph part I have down. There will be one graph for each question. Within each graph are three groupings: Classified, Management, Certificated. Within the groupings you will see at least three bars where each bar represents a grouping of answers.
Example: the classified grouping may have 2 bars. One bar represents 16 classified people who said "Agree" to question 11 and the other bar represents 5 classified people who said "Disagree" to question 11.
...ok, so now I have all that, but I have to have data labels on the graph. I can do that, I know where to click, but unfortunately it comes up as the actual number of people who responded this particular way (agree, disagree, etc.) and I need the data label to show up as a percentage.
Where do I make the change so that it shows the percentage of 16 classified out of 21 who said "Agree"?
Hopefully it's not too confusing. Thanks!
I have a form with a few labels that for some reason, very often will have a strange looking line above them after I am done clicking on them. I can't seem to find out why this happens. It happens on every label on this particular form.
Please take a look at the attachment for a screenshot.
I'd appreciate any advice you may have on why this happens and how to fix it.
We use an Access database to review multiple banking regulations on a sample of loans each month. I have reports set up to show the findings of different requirements. Each field is populated with a "Yes" "No" "N/A" or is left blank depending on the loan characteristics.
My queries pull regulatory errors if any of the fields = "No" and the reports show all regulatory requirements for that loan. For example, if the loan has real estate as collateral and no flood determination was ran prior to loan closing, they would select "No" from the combobox and it populates the field. All questions dealing with the flood laws populate on the report.
[U]If I want to show ONLY the fields that say "No" with the corresponding label, how do I get all fields that say "Yes" "N/A" or are blank to disappear, the corresponding lable to disappear, and the data to "shrink up" so there is not a lot of blank space?
Thanks for all of your help!

I am looking to set up a database where I have a table of records that correspond labels to product numbers. The product numbers may have anywhere from 1 to 30 labels that correspond to them, and I want the user to have a form where they search by a product number and then the labels that correspond to that product number are printed out on an Avery label.
Here is how the main data table will look: (everything is simply arbitrary to illustrate)
For example: If I type in "1111" into the form - the labels that print would be AA, AB, AC, AD, & AE
I know how to set up labels to print using forms, but the only way I can think of this working is by looking up the product number in the table, then copying the row of labels into another table (let's call it "labels to print") and pasting them in a column, then printing to the labels, and clearing the "labels to print" table for the next time.
Is this the correct route to go? If so, how do I go about looking up the product number in the main table and copy them to the "labels to print table".
I have to develop a software that allows users to print data from a GUI. The GUI is a form containing several fields: the user can choose only the fileds he wants to print (I thought to a checkbox to choose the needed fields)
For each field the user can specify: font, x,y coordinate to locate it into the label to be printed
The user can decide also the format (height,width dimensions) of the label
I imagine that the great difficulties is to find the function to create the string to sent to the printer....
Hi
I have a problem where the user has certain contraints in colour.
I am trying to change all the colours of labels in the database to purple.
Is there any way to declare it once in the database and all label statements will pick up the new colour. Saves me going through every form. Also there are other users who want to use the database with black.
???:rolleyes:
I am learning access on my own using MS Press step by step manual and it tells me to hold down the shift key while selecting the text boxes that are next to the labels, but when I do the labels get selected also . how do I disconnect the labels from the text boxes in order to insert space between the labels and the text boxes as it intructs me to in the book. I am able to select the labels separately, but it will not allow the text to be selected separately.

Hello everyone! I'm trying to print a single label to a Zebra printer, but I have ran into a small problem. I'm using a checkbox to select the records and a query to catch the record I want printed as a label. I print the label and deselect the record I printed and all works fine. I print the next record and the previous record prints on top the current record. If I turn off the printer in between printing labels all works fine. Any help would be a great because I going to wear out the on/off button on my printer
