I have a main form with a subform (subform display is continuous forms and key field is linked to key field of main form). I have a text field (enabled, not locked) on the subform that I've set the Can Grow property to Yes, but it doesn't get bigger even though the text! I've set the detail section Can Grow to yes as well. Any thoughts?
View RepliesHi,
I have a mdb base (BD1) wich have no tables, the tables are in BD2 and are linked to BD1.
But BD1 grows, sometime just 20 or 30 bytes but sometimes more than 300k in one time. What Access stores ?
Is it possible to limit this ?
BD1 can be ran from many user and is stored on the server (not local) it is shared so i think i can't use option : compact data base when quit.
What are the best ways to prevent this ?
Thanks in advance.

is it possible to have a 'CAN GROW' ON A COMBO BOX ON A FORM?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am doing a huge report. I have everthing working great but have to use another control source for another sub total area. I am adding this to the report header section and since the number of rows returned can vary I need it grow or shrink. Listbox is the only way I could find to do this but where is the can grow setting? Or do I need to create a subreport set to that data?
Thanks
Joe
I have a complicated form I am working on. The problem is that there is A LOT of data on this form, and to evaluate the data, the end user really needs to see as much of it as possible. What was typed in text box 5, may affect how he or she will interpret what was typed in text box 1.
In a report, I can make the text boxes grow or shrink so that you can see all the text in the box.
Can the same thing be done in a form?
Can I make the size a sub-form expand to show all the rows of data in its datasheet?
The end user needs to be able to add notes to the end and you can't do that with a report.
Thanks,
David
I reported this a day or two ago and the post is now gone.I have a report with grow and shrink = yes everyplace - I have three fields aligned top and they do not grow or shrink correctly - if i move the fields so they are not aligned horizontally they all work, or seem to work, fine. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong. Tested it on two computers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there's a way to set objects so that they don't get pushed down if an object above is set as Yes in the CanGrow property?can a report be split into columns?
I have been asked to replicate a form (previously written up on Word) which has two columns of information. As luck would have it all the fixed fields are on the Left hand side, so that part doesn't need (or want) to grow, However, the Right hand side has several sub-reports which can display 1-5 records each.
So if any of the sub reports show more than 1 record, they push down everything below it, but this includes the Left hand objects, creating gaps and often pushing the report onto 2 pages.
I made a report that contains 10 textboxes beside each other and i changed the option (can grow) of the textboxes to yes the growing is okay, but i want all the textboxes to grow the same size as the bigger one.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using MS Access 2003.I have a report whose Detail band contains a zero-height Comment field positioned at the bottom of the other single row of fields. It has Can Grow = Yes, so it sits waiting to grow if there's any data in this Comment field.
However, when this report prints, if the Comment field just "happens" to straddle two pages, it gets positioned only on the first page and gets cut off in the process. (See attachment 2.) Ideally, the entire field should display on the second page instead.
If I adjust the margins in Page Setup, I can fix this on this particular report. However, depending on the data being reported, these new margin settings can create a problem for the same report with different data. (All depends on where the Comment falls.)I'd like the report to work consistently, no matter the data or margins.
I want to keep the textbox small unless a user mouses over it, and they can then see all of the textbox contents. I've got code that will change it back to it's normal size after leaving the textbox as well.
Can I make the textbox "draw over" other nearby objects, so that it is in the foreground? Currently, the box grows, but it hidden by other nearby textboxes.
Edit: Well it looks like I just wasn't setting the Height large enough. I set it at .25 thinking it was in inches like it is in the property window, but I guess it's not. Seems to be working for now.
Edit 2: Not working afterall. It looks like it's working sometimes then the next time other objects will show through it. If I take a screenshot it looks fine in the screenshot no matter what it looks like on screen. Basically the check box and text box below the textbox I am making larger can be seen through said textbox.
All; using 2010. How can I get a subform to grow or shrink based on num of records returned? Its a continuous subform. Tried changing Vertical and Horizontal Anchors as well as some VBA suggestions but havent been able to make any of them work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report with several subreports that occassionally grow. I also have several fields that don't grow. If my subreport grows, it moves any other fields down as well. These are fields that are below the subreport, but not beneath it (e.g. on a lower line, but to the left).
Is there any way to keep the other fields stationary?
Thanks!
I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.
The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?
I have an Access 2010 database with two tables and two forms. The tables are Organizations and People. Similarly, the forms are Organizations Entry Form and PeopleEntryForm. The People are linked to the Organizations table. Several people can be linked to the same organization.On my Organizations EntryForm, I created a command button to duplicate a record using the wizard. It works fine.
I did exactly the same thing on the PeopleEntryForm, but instead of copying the record, it creates a new blank record. I don't get any error messages. Is my problem due to the fact that the People table is linked to the Organizations table?
Hi all,
I'm making a simple query to tell me how old a list of members are in a database.
I figure as I have their birthday, armed with todays date access should be able to tell me (in years only) how old they are.
Any help is appreciated
Hi,
I have 2 computers (computer 1 with Office XP and computer 2 with Office XP SP1). An MDE file created from an MDB file on computer 1 will not work on computer 2 (run time error), but an MDE file created on computer 2 also does not work on computer 1 (error message was "database corrupted").
Does anyone know why and what I can do to make the MDE work on both machines?

I then try to make an MDE out of the front end and after going to tools>db utilities>make MDE file, i got the save as box open up and i pressd save to my desktop,the box disappears and the screen is just blank(like there is no database file has been open,at the bottom of Access it says Make MDE/ADE.
And it just crashes.. it doesnt come up with any errors.
If anyone has any information pleeeeeaaaseee help.......
My Combo Box works and displays new entries in text boxes in my form. The selection appears in every record. I would like the selection to be stored only in the displayed record and not for each and every record. Any ideas?
My combo box works on an existing query( Qry1). I would like the data from my query (Qry1) to be displayed in the record (in Form1) which I am viewing. When I go onto a new record (IN Form1) I would like to make a new selection from my query (Qry1) and then store these details in the new record in Form1.
I am a little frustrated - please help.
This seems so simple, but, being a novice, I'm scratching my head.
I'm using an unbound text box in the form footer to sum the value of a column in the form ( =Sum([LineTotal]) ). [LineTotal] evaluates correctly, yet the sum is always #ERROR. Is there something I am missing, or am I correct in thinking that this should work?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

I open a form that is bound to a linked SQL table. On that form a have a list box that shows a series of records based on a query. The listbox DOES contain the PK field "Record_date" in its query.
I am expecting that if I click on a given record in the list box the form would change to that matching record. What am I doing wrong ?
List box code:
Private Sub List212_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rst As Object
Set rst = Me.Recordset.Clone
rst.FindFirst "[Record_date] = #" & Format(Me![List212], "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#"
If Not rst.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End Sub
If I change the form record and click the list box, its always takes me back to the 1st record - not the matching record selected in the form.
Help ?
Hy,i've got three tables:
products:
product_id,product_name
months:
month_id,name_of_month
calculations:
calculations_id,month_id,amount
Also have this query:
SELECT DISTINCTROW products.product_name, Sum(calculations.amount) AS [Sum Of amount]
FROM products INNER JOIN calculations ON products.product_id=calculations.product_id
WHERE calculations.month_id in (forms!frmMyForm!txtMyTextbox.value)
GROUP BY products.product_name;
My problem lies in this part of query :
WHERE calculations.month_id in (forms!frmMyForm!txtMyTextbox.value).
I've got problem when i want to get values from my textbox on my form.
If i instead (forms!frmMyForm!txtMyTextbox.value) put (1,2) my query works fine,but when i wanna get this same values from textbox on my form it returns me an error.
I have also noticed one more thing:If i put in my textbox just value 1 it works fine,but if i use more values separeted by comma instead of result it returns me an error.
Why is this,and how to avoide this problem?
Thanks!

Hello,
For osme reason this MS Access database I'm working on will not let me debug it. First off, even if I mistype a variable name it is not breaking and giving me an error message. I checked and I do have 'Option Explicit' set as well as "Error Trapping - Break on All Errors" in the Tools - Options - General.
Also, when I set a breakpoint in my code, it doesn't work either.
Any ideas as to what is going on??
Thanks,
Brian
Our database is 1.6gb in size.
It has stopped working, is there a way to delete old records?
We are told it will crash the computer, because access needs the same space as the data its self.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time in reading this post
