Not sure if this is possible but I have a few text boxes on a report set to vertical yes under properties. They print fine, but on the pre-printed forms I'm using they print upside down. Is there a way to realign they way the text prints when using the vertical yes setting? I really need they text to be inverted. I'm I asking an impossible question? Thanks..
View RepliesIs there a way to change the vertical scroll bar position to always be at the top when I move from form to form. Right now, it will start at the top, but when I move to a different form and back, the vertical scroll bar is positioned in the center. I turned off the autocenter property of the form and saved it in the desired position, but that doesn't work. My form is maximized when it opens. I would greatly appreciate some help. This has been an annoyance for quite some time now.

I have a series of Unbound control boxes in one row. some text extend to two lines and I want everything to be centered both horizontally and vertically.
Can't figure out how to vertically align the contents of the controlb boxes...
I have a text label that I would like to have vertical instead of horizontal. In the properties box, I go to the other tab and set 'Vertical' to yes and the text rotates. Except it rotates 90 degrees clockwise. (The text starts at the upper right corner and reads down, you have to tilt your head to the right to read it.) This seems the wrong direction to me and to my office mate - all the tables we've seen with vertical text has the text rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise (text starting from the lower left corner and reads up, you have to tilt you head to the left to read it.)
Is there any way I can make the text rotate counterclockwise instead of clockwise? I really don't want to create many little graphics.
Thanks
I know about the option write vertical.
my problem that I cant to work with it.
for example I want write in the verical filed JUN 2005
and in all the other filed write Horizontal
is it possible?
if some one can printscreen of a report that seems to what I look for
it will help me alot.
other stupid question:
can I see in this forum just my question
thanks!
How are you lot doing.
Anyways this at first seemed not to be too hard however has become a bit of an issue.
I would like to have a vertical block with the color green in my report. This block should be
as long as the page itself, however I cannot get it to cover the whole page as it will stop when
the report runs out of data. Does anyone know a 'trick' that would force this box to be as big as
one page, without making the details section this large by default (I dont want only 1 record on a
page).
Cheers,
Thomas
I am fairly new to developing with Access.
I would really value some advice on changing text direction in crosstab query column labels.
I have just created a crosstab query to function as a training matrix. It has rather long column labels (there are good practical reasons for this), which makes the query very wide and difficult to print one one page.
Is there a way to change the text direction of the column headings so they are printed running up the page?
I know how to change text direction in Word or Excel, but not Access.
At the moment I am copying the query results into Excel and manipulating the text direction in Excel, but this is rather cumbersome.
Thanks in anticipation of any help. :cool:
I have a Volunteer Database that has teams. There is only one team leader but some of the teams have two or three assistants. Currently I have a query that lists all the assistants for each team vertically.What I want to do is list the Assistants horizontally under headings like Assistant 1; Assistant 2; and Assistant 3 for each team on one line.
View 6 Replies View RelatedBackground:
I have a database with one main table that contains info on a variety of organizations and the services they offer. Another table lists regions these organizations are located in. The services they offer are listed in 11 different categories, each with its own field in the main database.
The end product of the project will be several reports. In particular, I need one report that lists by zipcode, each organization, its contact info, and any details about its services. The data for each organization will appear on several lines, as shown below:
---------------
Org name Region
Address Driving Directions
Contact Name
Phone
Comments
Food bank: details of hours, etc.
Hot meals: details.... [any services not offered does not appear or take up any vertical space]
---------------
The problem:
Since the reports will be printed and put into booklets, we need to eliminate any blank lines caused by empty fields. In many cases an organization will only have one or two categories, so the other 9 or 10 lines would be blank and take up too much space on the page.
What I've tried:
First I tried creating SubReports so I could use VBA scripts on the On Print event on the Detail section to make the SubReport invisble if it didn't have any data (HasData is false). That did make the SubReport not print, but it still took vertical space.
I struggled with various combinations of Can Grow and Can Shrink, but kept having problems with multiple lines appearing where there should hav been one line, and sometimes they were blank lines (especially if I didn't allow duplicates and there were several entries exactly the same). Whenever I got that undercontrol, the fields with no data took up space. Frankly, I'm not convinced I ever got them to NOT take up vertical space. (Maybe I didn't get it right. I'm open to trying again.)
Then I tried concatenating fields onto one TextBox, like this: Code:=("Food Purchase: "+[Food Purchase]+Chr(13)+Chr(10)+Chr(13)+Chr(10)) & ("Utilities: "+[Utilities]+Chr(13)+Chr(10)+Chr(13)+Chr(10)) & ("To Prevent Eviction: "+[To Prevent Eviction]) That works, but it seems like an ugly hack. The Chr(10)+Chr(13) create new lines. The + instead of the & makes it so that if any of the elements inside the parentheses are null, none of them print. So I can eliminate both the label and the new line, too.
Isn't there a better way to eliminate the vertical space when there's no data?
I have a table with below fields and content:
container_nr_no Type time
AAAA1233456 210 12:30
BBBB1222234 45g1 13:30
And I would like to generate a output text file like below:
FLD00101=1
FLD00102=AAAA1233456
FLD00103=210
FLD00104=1230
FLD00201=2
FLD00202=BBBB1222234
FLD00203=45G1
FLD00205=1330
FDL00.... should be generated automatically, starting with 101 for 1st container and 201 for 2nd and so forth. The output should be in vertical manner.
I need to replicate an existing report that has a number of 3 columns across the page and has 35-40 rows down the page...it's like a table in Word or a spreadsheet in Excel. I need to print the column and row lines.
Is there a simple way to include these in the report other than me drawing each and every line?
I have searched and found references to converting text to dates. I need to go the other way. I have client# field and a date field. I would like to make an update query to populate a new field by concatenating the two fields minus the "/". I am making a new key field in an existing table. Then in the future when data entry is done, I would like to convert the date and client# as they are entered. I was looking at using the left$ or right$ function, but the dates may be in mm/dd/yyyy format or m/dd/yyyy format or m/d/yyyy and so on, depending on the month and day. Is there an easy way to convert the date to a number? I tried datevalue, but it leaves the "/" in there. I'm not sure how to section off the parts of the date I need, when the month and day vary between 1 and 2 digits. Thanks for any help.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I'm using M$ Access 2002. I have a query which contains an expr as one of the fields. The expression adds three text fields together to create a salutation. This is the expression:
Expr1: [students].[Fname] & " " & [students].[LNAME] & " " & [students].[gradelvl]
Where all three fields are of the Text data type. I am trying to display the students grades for next year. So if the value of [students].[gradelvl] is "10", it should display "11". If it were a Number data type I think this would be easier for me to figure out.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,

This is very close to the label question that I also have posted. I am trying to get my report to have the back ground of some text boxes turn yellow if they are populated. I can get them to turn yellow, but they turn yellow whether they are populated or not. I have the code in the Report Open event. Here is some of the code that I have.
If Not IsNull(MMSJob) Then
MMSJob.BackColor = 65535
Else
MMSJob.BackColor = vbWhite
End If

Hello,
in my Access database there is quite a bit of VBA code.
I have set my LAN and file path in some of this code but will need to change it when this database will get to other users using a different LAN and path.
Is there a way I can avoid them to open the code and manually change this information?
I was thinking of some sort of text box where they will write their path (ex. \S01000sharedoffice*.*) and use a cmdbutton to overwrite the existing path?
Thanks.
After changing data source , header and name of report, only the design view tab changes to the new name of the report. i.e. Changed copy of "Fiscal Quarter 01 Report" to "Fiscal Quarter 02 Report". When open in design view, name tag of report is "Fiscal Quarter 02 Report". In any other view, name tag of report is "Fiscal Quarter 01 Report". If I need to have both reports open in report view, they both have "Fiscal Quarter 01 Report" on the name tab - Very Confusing! How do I get all tabs for a renamed report changed to the new name?

I have several reports in my system. Some are landscape and some are portrait. Occasionally the landcape ones switch to portrait taking up two pages each. In preview mode it is not so bad that the user can reset the page size, but when one is sent to print this is most certainly annoying.
Any advice?
I've asked this question in different forums before, and though some people say it can be done, I have not found anyone who is successful yet.
I have a report that puts down a person's address, however the address information is stored within the database in separate fields ('Address', 'City', 'State', 'ZIP'). The issue I have is with the City/State/ZIP. Some city names are longer than others, is it possible to have the fields adapt to the different word lengths.
Say the address is, Albany, NY 10023. The database would output this alright, but then if the city name is San Francisco, CA 94143, the fields are in disarray.
I have the same issue with names. Last name and first name are stored separately. I would like to display Last, First. My workaround has been to right-align the Last name, and put it adjacent to the left-aligned first name field. This works unless the person's last name is very long, disporportionately from the first name, in which case, it looks very much off center in the overall report.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all,
I am trying to have the rowsource change on a "subcategory" combo box depending on what the "category" combo box says.
I added an event procedure to the "Category" combo box which changes the Row Source in the subcategory combo box to something else. I'm not sure that I did this right as if I close the database and reopen it, what I selected in the subcategory combobox is gone and it is blank. Any ideas? Here is my simple, likely incorrect event procedure:
Private Sub Category_Change()
If Category.Text = "Rare Books" Then
SubCat.RowSource = "scRareBooks"
End If
If Category.Text = "Legal Documents" Then
SubCat.RowSource = "scLegalDocuments"
End If
End Sub
Thanks!

What I need is a query will look at the Data that starts with “B” and change the letter to “A” if the date in the record has passed. {The Date can be any date in any year }

Hi all,
I'd like to change the colour of the text in a command button when the user click the button, but for the text to return to it's original colour when the botton pops back up.
I'm assuming you use the following commands:
Private Sub cmdClose_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
*******CODE********
End Sub
Private Sub cmdClose_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
*******CODE********
End Sub
But I'm not sure as to how I would enter the correct code.
Any help would be appreciated,

I have about 25 text boxes on my form that use the dcount or count functions to obtain a number. (Text boxes are labeled 'Text1' through 'Text25')
When the value of the textbox is 0, I would like to have the color of the text box turn red.
Is there a way I can do this using a for loop? Or a with statement?
Checking each one individually just seems like poor programming.
Any thoughts? Ideas?
Thank you.
