Can You Automatically Set A Forms's Margins In A2k.
Jan 19, 2006
I want to print a page with .5 magin instead of the typical 1 inch. I am using access 2000, so i can not use printer.leftmargin. Is there a way i can do this through code somehow instead of going into page setup on each users computer? If the page margin is set to larger than 1" it will print on 2 pages.
Anyone have any suggestions on whare to start? All i can find is how to adjust page margins in a report. Or with a later version of access.

I have set individual margins inside text boxes in my app.
I want to set some white space inside the combo boxes, too, but that option isn't available in properties.
Is there a straightforward way to set inside margins on combo boxes?
Thanks in advance!

I have an Access 97 reporting DB.
On all other systems these reports print out fine.
I just set up this reporting system on a new computer and when I print, the reports print on two pages - second page had a tid bit of an order date.
On the other systems, all the page margins ( top, bottom, left & right ) are set to .25" and the column width is set to 8".
I also receive this message upon running the report:
The section width is greater then the page width, and there are no items in the additional space, so some pages may be blank.
If I manually move this Order Date field over it does not properly print in the Order Date box on the form fed document.
This report is printed to a OKI Microline 320 Turbo 9 pin dot matrix printer.
All my margins are at .25" EXCEPT for the right margin, which is at .416" ... WHICH I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE!! Why?
I have reinstalled the proper drivers for this printer and have up to Office SR-2 installed.
Why am I unable to change the right margin to .25", if all the other systems have this setting?
Any suggestions are muchly appreciated, as I am seriously frustrated with this situation .... if I have left out any pertinent info .. please send your questions my way ....
Cheers!

Hi Everyone
I wonder if anyone can help me please.
I have a form that nearly fills an a4 sheet of paper when printed. For this reason I have to set the margins from 24.99 down to 5.
This is ok and the form works well and prints out properly about 75% of the time. Occasionaly when I open the form it has reverted back to the 24.99 margins which of course prints out on three sheets of paper and is all over the place.
Is ther a way to set the margins on load and can anyone suggest an appropriate bit of code.
Kindest regards
Tony

Good morning all.
I have an annoyance!!! I have a few reports in the access database that I'd like to hard code the print margins so that when I send any database updates to users that have different printers, the margins all come out the same. So that I don't have to then go to each computer I've updated the database on, to open each report and reset the correct print margins.
Another annoyance - along the same lines: A report that previews correctly several times and then - for no reason, previews with larger margins and, hence, data is lost off the right.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

I design/maintain an Access database for a friend's business using my home computer. The printer he uses allows for much smaller margins than mine does, so anytime I edit a specific report that uses very small margins, my computer automatically increases them to the minimum margins my printer allows and when the business owner runs the report on his computer it spills on to extra pages.
Right now every time I make a change, I need to go directly to his computer and adjust the margins within the report after the new front end is uploaded.Is there any way around this, such as telling Access to ignore the printer's minimum margins?

I am having a problem setting the margins to print labels in access. I go to page setup and change the margin size click ok and nothing happens to the label and when I go back to page setup the margins have returned to their original values. I have already selected the label printer and labels that im using.So im baffled as to why it wont accept margin values that don't cause the label to be printed over 3 labels.

I have the following code in a module to set certain formatting properties when exporting an Access 2010 query to Excel:
With xlApp
.Application.Sheets("Spoilage").Select
.Application.Cells.Select
.Application.Selection.ClearFormats
.Application.Range("A1:K1").Select
.Application.Selection.Font.Bold = True
[code]....
This works perfect but now I need to set some of the page layout properties (margins, orientation, etc.)
I have tried adding this:
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
.Orientation = xlPortrait
.PaperSize = xlPaperA4
End With
But I get a complie error (Method or data member not found) on the .InchesToPoints part of the line.

Access 2007 RUNTIME.I have 2 different printers, 1 for invoices A5 & one for general use A4.
I use
[URL]
and can change printers & some stuff but can't change margins.
Is there a way to change these margins via VBA that can be set in RUNTIME.
Like now, I have just had thousands of invoices pre-printed layout but the company managed to move the margin 5mm over so I have to program my MDB reports to reflect that.

Hi,
I'm doing a database with several pop-up forms, but however small i make them ,they always resize to give a fairly large border around the controls onthe far right and bottom. Everytime i try and shrink it, in code with the Form.Width property, and in the design view, they always resize back again.
Any help would be great.

I already have a form where I can enter data.
In that form I would like to have different check-boxes (three of them), representing actions done that day.
Let's say each form represents a contact, and I need check-boxes for:
- Called
- E-mailed
- Visited
This is something I am now able to do. But.... I would like these check-boxes to be cleared automatically the next day.
So when the database is opened the next day, these check-boxes start unchecked.
And I would also like that as soon I check a check-box on a certain day, there is an entry for that action and date is being entered in the record of that contact, so I am able to check later on what day, what action was performed.

I have one problem with subforms. I have one bound main form and two bound subforms: one subform is used to display existing records in datasheet view while another is used to enter new records in form view, but this latter subform for new records will not save automatically, nor will it save by using the me.refresh or me.dirty=true in the unload event of the subform control. The parent child relationship is intact. I can even see the primary key of the new row in the subform but it does not appear in the table that the subform is based on. This primary key adds by one automatically.
I have struggled and finally made work a combo box in the main form that finds existing records but also is able to add new records when the value entered is not on the list. Below is the code I used. I am not sure if this code is overriding Access's save ability of the subform?
Private Sub Combo316_AfterUpdate()
Dim n As String
gblvariable = cbobox
Me.Requery
n = DLookup("ID", "[Customers Extended]", "[Customer Name] = '" & Me!Combo316 & "'")
[Code] .....

why my vba code wouldn't work.I have a scorecard form, and what I wanted to do on a form was that if a user enters a number in a bound box (to a table), it would automatically update an unbound box. So I coded it as this.
Private Sub SupplierCorrectiveActionRequests_Enter()
If [Request] = 0 Then [Text30] = 100
Elseif [Request] = 1 Then [Text30] = 75
Elseif [Request] = 2 Then [Text30] = 50
Elseif [Request] = 3 Then [Text30] = 25
Elseif [Request] >= 4 Then [Text30] = 0
End Sub
But it throws an error that there cannot be Then if there are no ifs, weird.Another problem I had is that I'm using a continuous form, and whenever I scroll down there seems to be a visual bug,is there any way to do that without changing the theme?

I have a form which has a field named VendorID it gets data from the following query
SELECT TOP 2 V.VendorID, V.VendorName, COUNT(A.ClaimNumber) AS Total_assignment, V.VendorStatus
FROM dbo.VendorMaster V LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.VendorAssignment A ON V.VendorID = A.VendorID
GROUP BY V.VendorID, V.VendorName, V.VendorStatus
HAVING (V.VendorStatus = N'Active')
ORDER BY COUNT(A.ClaimNumber)
So, if we look at the code it should give me top 2 by ascending , but whats happening here is once i refresh it gives me top 2 and it stays the same until and unless i go to view mode and come back to the form mode( refresh) again. automatic code or something which can make this one update automatically?

Please forgive me if I don't explain everything properly, I am relatively new to Access.
I have two tables with the following information:
VOLUNTEER
PK: volunteer_ID (autonumber)
name, address, school, etc
SCHOLARSHIP
PK: scholarship_ID (autonumber)
description (text)
amount (currency)
FK: volunteer_ID (number)
One scholarship can be awarded to only one volunteer.
I have a form to enter all the volunteer information. At the bottom of the form, I would like to place a button to open a new form to award a scholarship to this volunteer. I believe I need to link the forms in the following manner:
VOLUNTEER.volunteer_ID = SCHOLARSHIP.volunteer_ID
The problem is this: The forms are not linked properly because in order to assign a volunteer to a scholarship, the scholarship must already exist. So when I click the button to open the scholarship form, the scholarship form is empty and the volunteer_ID defaults to "0".
I think this could be fixed by somehow making my button create a new scholarship_ID in the scholarship form and THEN linking the volunteer_ID fields.
Does this seem like a solution? If so, how would I implement it? I have a screenshot to help. Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a number of tables in my database, and they're linked in with a form. I'd like to have a field in a form that's populated automatically based on what's inputted in a different field.For example, I've got one table with names and descriptions on widgets (name in column A, description in column B).
Widget 1 This widget is blue
Widget 2 This widget is green
Widget 3 This widget is yellow
When I'm in my form, I want when I select Widget 1 to have the corresponding text (This widget is blue) appear in a field below.

I have made a form with a subform to search for existing records based on inputting a postcode then selecting the relevant address from the subform which then fills the form with details of that chosen record ready to issue a further package linked to that original record.
To prevent errors and confusion by the users I coded the following:
Private Sub CmdFindAddress_Click()
If IsNull(Me.TxtPostcode) Then
MsgBox "You need a Postcode to use this button. Please type one in."
Me.TxtPostcode.SetFocus
[Code] ....
'Where the postcode entered does not exist in records or if there is a mistake typing in the postcode, below will remove residual record details from previous postcode ready for a new postcode search:
For Each ctlCurr In Me.Controls
If ctlCurr.Tag = "clear" Then
ctlCurr = Null
End If
Next ctlCurr
Me.Refresh
End Sub
.........
The problem is that if I test the system by inputting a postcode where I know there are no records, the CtlCurr is highlighted and the error message is:
Compile error: variable not defined
..........
This does not happen if I have already selected a postcode so the record fields are filled and then change the postcode - so the record fields are cleared.
Previously, entering a postcode which did not match existing records generated the "there are no records...." error message instead. How do I define CtlCurr?
