Im creating an update form for users that arent particularly tech-savvy, so i want them to be able to insert page breaks without having to manually insert "<br />" into the form field as it saves into the access database. is there a script or maybe just an option within access to render the field as plain text (with page breaks whenever the return key is pressed)? thanks!
View RepliesI've set the 'Font Italic' method to 'True' for my 'scientific_name' text box control in a datasheet form. It does not render in italics. I've gone so far as to create an On-Load sub with a single command:
Me.scientific_name.FontItalic = True
The control still does not render in italics.
I'm using the sendobject method from access and it always puts the body of the email in plain text. Is there a way to specify HTML (besides the obvious of changing the format once it's open)?
Thanks,

Using 2010 (accdb format) on windows 7.I'm trying to convert a memo field's format from Plain Text to Rich text. The problem is that every time I try to select the Rich Text format option the field immediately changes back to Plain Text.
Just as a test a created a new memo field in the same table and set this to Rich Text (worked fine) then copied the records for the Plain text memo field to the new memo field. Unfortunately this removed all line breaks so instead of my text looking like
I have a table field defined as Plain Text. On a form I have a memo field set up also defined as Plain Text. When I enter data into the memo field on the form and save it, I see HTML characters in the field on the table.
I attached some screen shots of the table definition, form field properties and a look at the data saved to the table with the HTML characters.
I can select memo field (configured as RichText) as rendered html:
select somehtmlfield from sometable
And have rendered html output:
"normal bold"
Or select it as html string
select Cstr(somehtmlfield) from sometable
And get
"<div>normal <b>bold</b></div>
Is there any way to produce rendered html from string?
I would like to:
select SomeConvertingFunc("<div>something <b>bold</b></div>") from sometable
And have it rendered to "something bold".
Hi,
I have an old form (see oldform pics) and a new form (see newform pics).
The old form has controls on it which work just dandy (well, at least they display and store information).
The new, tabbed, form however does not. What's up with that?
I simply created a form, created a tab control, went to my old form in design view, selected some objects, right-clicked-copy, went back to the new tabbed form, right-clicked-paste somewhere in the middle on the tab control, and... Presto! Nothing.... Just #Name?
Strange thing is, when I create the control, for example InitialCall, myself or using the wizard, the #Name? disappears, so then it works like it should.
What's going on? I need to do this for a bunch of controls.... and I would hate to have to do them all 140+ all over again by hand.... copy/paste would be so nice..... :)
I am writing text to a database from a web form and need to encrypt the text in the Access database to ensure that the information is kept secure and only accessible from the web form that is password protected.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello Friends,
Thank you for all the help i have gotten over the past couple days, as you can tell i am new and seek somebodys experience and wisdom to solve my issue.
I have a simple Form, That allows the users to enter contact information.
At the very top I have "Name" and "Age" and below it i have other fields such as Address, city, state, etc...
How can I make it so the user does not have access to the other information until they type in BOTH fields "Name" and "age" first.
Can somebody please show me how the Code might look like.
Thank you for your time.
I am very new at Microsoft Access. I have two forms, A and B, that are filled out by two different users. Form A gets filled out first than form B gets filled out. Each has a name box as well as a birthdate box and a few other similar text fields. However, each form also has a few distinctive fields. I was wondering how I could input the common information in Form A to Form B so the user of Form B does not have to spend time retyping the name and birthdates again. In other words, I want to synchronize the similar records between the two forms. I would like the values to appear in a table as well. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the visual basic code. Thank You.

I have many rows of information i am entering in access. I want to setup this spreadsheet to look at previous rows of information so when I fill one field it will automatically fill some of the other fields in the same row with the information from the rows above.
if this is not possible then I want to create a dictionary of information so if information is typed in one of the fields it will automatically populate some of the other fields on the same row.
Hi all,
I have been given the task of cleaning up an old db. One thing I'd like to do is combine 3 text fields into 1 new field.
In the old db there was a form that included 3 memo text boxes, when the first one was full the user then started using the second and then the third. The relating Table fields are message, overflow message & overflow message extended.
I'd like to combine the fields into 1 and then design a new form to suit so that the memo text in the new db goes into 1 field only.

Hi people,
I have a report that is linked to a data entry form. Is there a way to not show certain labels and text boxes if a text box on the form has the value "N/A"?
Something like:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If txtFireType = "N/A" Then
txtFireType.Visable = False
End If
End Sub
This doesn't seem to work by the way!
Really appreciate all of your help.
Just say I want to summarise in a text box the options given in three option groups.
For instance I have chosen A then B and then C and then in a text box I want to put ABC.
Do I need to set up a query to do this? or do I need to write some code?
Can anyone tell me how to count (sum) text fields. My current query will search for:
1) Name
2) Ticket Number (ww*, beginning of one type of ticket)
And it works fine except that after running the query I have to manually add up how many of the ww tickets each person wrote. Is there a way to make it change the ww* tickets to a number, like 1, so that it can be added up or to add up by the persons name how many tickets they wrote. I'm using Access 2000.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have a field with a bunch of records. All is formatted the following:
CAN-2007-US-00001
CAN-2007-US-00002
CAN-2007-US-00003
CAN-2008-US-00001
CAN-2008-US-00002
CAN-2008-US-00003
and so on and so forth. Is there a way Acess can break the fields out? I want 1 field with CAN, 1 field with the year, 1 field with US, and 1 field with the number (4 different fields broken by the hyphen).
I can do text to column in excel before I import, but just wondering if it can be done in Access. Thanks in advance, guys...

I have text boxes that combine two fields into one, for example the control source is =IIf(IsNull([BuckC])=True And IsNull([BoostC])=True,"",[BuckC] & " , " & [BoostC]) . For simple its just =[Buckc] + ": "+[BoostC]. I am trying to set a condition that if one of them exceeds a certain number the background color will change to yellow. I know how to do this if its only for one field but I am wondering if it is possible to do it with multiple fields?

In this way users can easily switch to the next line instead of typing everything all together
