Can't Get Text To Display On AfterUpdate
Dec 14, 2005
Hi
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form.
What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly.
What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date.
I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine.
The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
Thanks

Hello,
First post, new here. :)
I'm doing a course on Access and I'm trying to populate a text box based on the value I select in a combo box.
Basically, in the combo box I want to select a drug (for pets, it's for a veterinary clinic...) and in the text box next to it I want the cost to pop up. The list of drugs with their costs are listed in a separate table, with the drug name in column 1 (counting from 0) and the cost in column 3. I then have a continous form so I'd like to be able to keep adding drugs and their costs and then sum up the drug costs in a text box with the total.
Any help is much appreciated.

I am using an unbound textbox at the top of my form for filtering purposes. The user types in a string and hits "Tab" which kicks of the filter which is defined in the AfterUpdate property. I want the focus to return to the same textbox and position the curosor after the last character. I am trying to use SelStart but not having success.
Code:
Me.Filter = "COURSE_NAME Like '*" & Me.txtFilter & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True
txtFilter.SetFocus
txtFilter.SelStart = txtFilter.SelLength

Hi,
I'm new here and I thought I had already posted this but i couldn't find it so I am posting again... sorry if I've posted twice
When I pass a value from MyTextBox to MyComboBox using:
Me.MyTextBox = Me.MyComboBox
It does Not trigger the AfterUpdate Event of the ComboBox
I need it to! Any Suggestions??
I have tried: copy and pasting by but that creates a problem
Me.MyTextBox = BarCodeData$ 'passes the variable value to MyTextBox
Me.MyTextBox .SetFocus
Me.MyTextBox .SelStart = 0
Me.MyTextBox .SelLength = Len(Me.MyTextBox ) + 1
SendKeys "^c" 'copies the value of of MyTextBox
as soon as I add the below line, it no longer copies the value in
MyTextBox
Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
The onEnter Event of MyComboBox has the following code that works fine.
Private Sub cboLookupPart_Enter()
Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
Me.MyComboBox.SelStart = 0
Me.MyComboBox.SelLength = Len(Me.MyComboBox.Text)
SendKeys "^v"
End Sub
If I ran all the code above, all works but the "Copy" and thus anything
that may be in the clipboard is pasted into MyComboBox, and the
AfterUpDate of MyComboBox triggers.
I know that there are compelling reason NOT to use the SendKeys but I
was just trying something
What I'd really like to do is eliminate MyTextBox and pass the Variable
directly to MyComboBox:
Me.MyComboBox= BarCodeData$
And have it force the AfterUpdate Event of MyComboBox
Eagerly awaiting suggestions!
Thank you,
Robert Bloomfield

Can the result of a combo-box be used in text in an AfterUpdate event?
Example, the combo-box (Result) can be negative or positive. If it is negative a textbox is populated with the test is (combo-box here)?

I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.

When I mouse over TEXTBOX1 I want it to display the phrase Hello World in TEXTBOX2.
When the Mouse moves away from TEXTBOX1 I want TEXTBOX2 to go back to normal.. (Empty)
How can I get the below VB to work? Or something similar.. I'm assuming a mouse move event or something
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_GotFocus()
Display Hello World in TEXTBOX2
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_LostFocus()
Clear TEXTBOX2
End Sub

This works fine but where the TYPE field is enetred as another category other than workboat, the DWT field is still missing. Am I missing the Else part?

Here's a strange one.....
We have only 4 computers in our office. Our DB backend is SQL server and due to constant corruption of the database from multiple users, each user/computer runs its own separate copy of the mdb file.
I have set up a small form in a separate database to allow me to quickly compact the DB and copy it to the 4 locations on the network instead of doing it manually. This process works fine...BUT....I have a text box on the form set up to display the copy progress and the contents of the text box do not properly display during the file copying. Even though the code to change the value of the textbox comes before the file copy command, the textbox will not display the until after the copying is finished. However, when I step debug the process it displays the information correctly before the file copy command executes.
Here is a sample of my code...
Dim strPath1 As String
Dim strpath2 As String
strPath1 = "C:FortuneSystemTemp.mdb"
strpath2 = "\ScottFortune"
If Dir("C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Cannot proceed! Fortune database is open.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
txtProgress = "Compacting Database"
'compact master DB to a temporary DB file
DBEngine.CompactDatabase "C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.mdb", strPath1
txtProgress = ""
If chkTed Then
If Dir(strpath2 & "Ted.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Ted cannot be copied. Program is running.", vbCritical
Else
Screen.MousePointer = 11
txtProgress = "Ted Copying"
Kill strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
FileCopy strPath1, strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
txtProgress = ""
Screen.MousePointer = 0
End If
End If
....etc...
Can anyone explain why this is happening and possibly a way around it?
Thanks

Hi all
Go nice and easy on me. This is my first serious DB and i've picked a cracker to start with.
Basically i am trying to set up a booking system for excursions, booking seats on coaches, trains, printing tickets, vouchers and information.
At the moment I'm trying to populate a text box (txtExcursionCost) in a form with a cost with is drawn from a table (tblExcursions).
tblExcursions holds information about the excursions including the info which populates combo box (cboExcursionTitle) and combo box(cboExcursionDate). The date combo is dependant on what is selected in the Title combo. The text box (txtExcursionCost) needs to be dependant on the Title and Date combos to get the right cost displayed. How could I get this to work?
The reason for the text box is that it only needs to be displayed to show the user the cost of that particular excursion and to create a base for a calculation for Amount Due at the completion of the transaction.
Hope this makes sense.
All help greatly appreciated thanks.

Let me start by saying I am very, very new to Access, but have been assigned a report to create.
I have the following textbox in my report:
=[Location]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [callnumber]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [Online Availability]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [PF Subject]
I'm using this format so that my 4 fields appear in a list and don't leave blank lines if the one of the fields happens to be empty.
The problem is that I need to alter or substitute some text.
First, in the location field, I can have several different entries, but if the entry is 'Circ', I don't want that text to display and I don't want a blank line either.
Secondly, in the online availability field, if there is any value in the field, I want whatever text that is to change to something like 'Online - Yes'. If there is no value in the field, nothing should display.
I think the use of the Iif function should work, but I can't seem to write it correctly. Help!!

Hi All, I hope someone can help with this, I have 2 tables, 1 main table that holds all my part data ( ie part num, description, etc) and a second table with vendor info. On my Form I have all my fields that display the record.

I have tried everything I can think of-
I have a tabular form in Access 2003 that is cutting off the text disply in some text fields.
I am doing some comparisons so the fields are repeated three times.
All three fields are larger than the data.
Two fields display correctly and the third field, identical to the other two, is chopped off on the right side and just shows empty space after the first few letters instead of all the data.
Fields are all the same size in the underlying table.
Changing the format between left, center, right has no effect.
Text size is the same in all three.
All the data is from a single query on a single form.
There is no subform.
All properties for the three are the same.
If I increase the field WAY beyond the required size all the data shows, but I haven't any extra room to do this on the form.
Any ideas would be much appreciated :)

Hi All,
I have a field called PRICE and obviously it is a NUMERIC field as it need to perform calculations such as calculating Total Quantity * Price etc. At the moment the PRICE is inputted manually by the User on a Form and when it has no Price it is simple left blank.
What I wish to include is that on the REPORT when the field is empty it writes the text FOC instead of leaving it empty.
Can you please anyone suggest a way of doing this.
Thanks any help will be much appreciated :o

Hi,
I have created a form (Form1) based on a table (Table1) and also a Query based on this table (Query1). I calculate a field in the query (Expr1: [column1] + [column2])
Now i have created a text box on Form1 that should display Expr1.
I know I could also calculate the value directly via the expression builder, but I would prefer to simply display Expr1 from my query. Which is the syntax I have to use in the Expression Builder?
I tried "= [Query1]![Expr1]" but it does not work.
Thanks for your help
