Combo - LimitToList Small Caps.
Feb 7, 2005
I have a combo with the LimitToList set to yes so I can add new data to the underlying tbl. This works fine with one exception. When I enter the data I occasionally want to enter it in all Capitals but when I select Ok to add it to the tbl the first letter is a capital & all others change to small caps. I'm a little rusty on Access at the moment so I need a prompt pointing me to what I need to change to fix my problem. I'm thinking this is a formatting problem? :(

My client wants a company name that appears on multiple forms and reports to show as font name Garamond which is fine... however, he also want the font to appear as "Small caps". In Word and Outlook, under the Font submenu, I can check Small caps and get what he wants... lower case letters are shown as Small capital letters. Is there a way I can make the same settings on labels in Access without installing a new font on each workstation that runs the database.

:confused: I need to find a way using macros to accomplish this task: I am trying to set the LimitToList property as a YES, and enter data that is not in the list already, but instead of the NotInList property giving me the following error "The item you entered is not in the list. Please choose one from the contents of the drop down box", I want to branch to a macro entered at theNotInList property to branch to that will eliminate the error, and give me the opportunity to enter my own message with options for the user to enter the item into the list, or try to choose an item from the drop down box instead. I want to do this with a macro if possible. I have seen many VB solutions that purport to solve the issue, but to be honest, I am not very well versed in VB procedures. That's why I would like to do it with a macro. I am very competent with macro procedures! Please help ASAP. Thanks.

I am having a few issues with my module code in Access 2002. for some reason every time I write some code Access is automatically making the first letter a capital so for instance [Our Ref] should be [Our ref] but it simply will not let me do it!
Temp = rstHTML!html1 & rstProp![Our Ref] & rstHTML!html2 & rstProp![Our Ref] & rstHTML!html3 & rstProp![Property Title]

USING ACCESS 2010..My user has reported that his caps and num locks gets switched off when entering a particular form and after testing he's right!!
I've googled this and it seems that sendkeys is/could be the culprit.I do have sendkeys in the code so how do I get around it other than not use sendkeys? Can I switch num lock on in VBA?

My attendance dB has some last name in lower case and others in all caps base on user input. Is there anyway to make it consistent? Also, please there will be about 250 users scrolling through the name column for attendance. What would you recommend for the most user friendly way to display names? How to create a form that would perhaps allow a button for all last name like "A- C" member name
SELECT IIf(IsNull([Last Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[First Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[Last Name],[Last Name] & ", " & [First Name])) AS [File As], IIf(IsNull([Last Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[First Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[Last Name],[last Name] & " " & [first Name])) AS [Student Name], Students.*
FROM Students
ORDER BY IIf(IsNull([Last Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[First Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[Last Name],[Last Name] & ", " & [First Name])), IIf(IsNull([Last Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[First Name]),IIf(IsNull([First Name]),[Last Name],[First Name] & " " & [Last Name]));

I have tried the count(field name) and the sum(field name) but neither of them are giving me the grand total only the count/sum of that row. Here is my code, please look - I'm sure its something small and stupid
SELECT [qry_Refi_Yield].[LOAN NBR], [qry_Refi_Yield].[BORROWER], [qry_Refi_Yield].[PURPOSE], [qry_Refi_Yield].[FUNDED STAMP], [qry_Refi_Yield].[HSS], [qry_Refi_Yield].[UNIT TEAM], [qry_Refi_Yield].[Cycle Time], [qry_Refi_Yield].[Total Yield], IIF([Cycle Time]<=30,1) AS Yield
FROM qry_Refi_Yield
GROUP BY [qry_Refi_Yield].[LOAN NBR], [qry_Refi_Yield].[BORROWER], [qry_Refi_Yield].[PURPOSE], [qry_Refi_Yield].[FUNDED STAMP], [qry_Refi_Yield].[HSS], [qry_Refi_Yield].[UNIT TEAM], [qry_Refi_Yield].[Cycle Time], [qry_Refi_Yield].[Total Yield]
ORDER BY [unit team], [hss], [funded stamp];
past tries: count([qry_Refi_Yield].[Total Yield])
count(borrower)

Hi,
I was using access 2000 to build a small office app. It will be on a network and will generally be used by only 2 or 3 people(max). I was wondering if the default jet technology would be good enough for this. If it isn't, what should I use? I looked at other options such as msde and ado but it's a bit confusing when you're new to this stuff.
Thanks,

There are times when it is just necessary to have a little rant, a canniption if you will.
For the last few weeks I have been working off-and-on with a new database for a salmon hatchery. One of the forms I designed contained a subform in continuous form view that flickered inordinately when first loaded. Now, there's a lot of code going on behind controls etc to run sql updates or deletes or appends depending on what the user clicked. There was also some code to alternate the row color of the continuous form. I spent literally days trying to find what part of my code was causing the problem.
I swore a lot.
I searched.
I eventually gave up as other priorities began to arise at work. I resigned myself to my fate.
Then I discovered, quite by accident, that the problem arose by the use of some unassociated labels being present on my form. I removed them, replaced them with labels associated with a control, and presto: the form flickering/reloading magically vanishes.
Great.
But what a colossal PITA for something so bloody stupid. There's absolutely no reason why this should occur IMHO. Honestly: it's hard enough to learn VBA, SQL, and relational db design without having to deal with poorly documented glitches like this. There are days when I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of Access, then something like this comes along and I want to send a lynch mob to redmond! :mad:
Ok, end of rant :) Hope the solution to my problem comes in handy for someone else someday.

I'm fairly new to Access (2000 is the version im using), and I'm not sure how to do several things within a form:
1) make cursor in a text box jump to the front (left) when clicked on
2) Lock (and grey out) a text box once data has been entered into another
3) assign a field to correspond with another, and to have this shown on the form (ie: having a list of names and their corresponding phone numbers assigned to each; then on the form, having a combo or list box with the names that a user can select- once a name is selected, their phone number appears automatically in another text box)
4)Locking screens or subforms when moving on to another (either by pressing a button to open another form, or by selecting a field in another subform)
thank you in advance for your help and advice

Hello,
This will probably generate a few good laughs but here goes!
I have been given an Excel file with 6 fields about 20 chars in each field.
This file is a whopping 250 records. I would like to be able to add, change, delete and search records.
The DB would need to be shared by 2 users on a home network. Both are using Windows XP.
What would be(heres your chance!!!) the easiest solution for this?
This is for someone who wants to keep it simple. If it was simple though, I guess I would not be posting this!!! Haha.
They best part is they have MS-Works on their machines.
Any help or better yet a completed solution would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Take Care
Tom

hi. I am trying to write a code to sum the total cost of all jobs that are selected as 'yes' in a combo box.
Once the user selects 'yes' in a combo box, they enter in a cost for that specific job. Each client may have 10s of jobs. I need to write a code that will sum up all the 'yes' selected jobs for a client. I know it should be an 'if' statement but I can't seem to get it to work. I need this value for a report. How would I do this and where would i put the code.
Help is appreciated.
Here is the code that I was thinking of, I don't think its right but it might be a start.
Dim Count As Variant
Dim CountImplementedTotal As Variant
CountCost = 0
CountImplementedTotal = 0
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordSet("ECM Details")
Do While Not rst.EOF
If rst![AUDIT ID] = Forms![audit info]![AUDIT ID] Then
If rst![Has Measure been Selected] = "YES" Then
Count = Count + rst![Total Measure Cost]
End If
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
Text47.Text = Count

hello all
i need a small thing to change in a module but am not too familiar with vb so i reached a dead end, here's the story:
i have a 'dog pedigree' database that i was working on, now there's a report where a dog's parents, their parents, and their parents need to be shown
that turned out to be out of my league so i paid a guy to do it for me, it worked except he didn't do exactly what's need and i can't get to him now :S
anyway, in the report page,
you can notice that the name of each parent is shown, but i want the registration number of the parents to show as well,
i tried modifying the module but it didn't work (am not a vb user), so can anyone help me add the reg number to the name of the parents?
also, in the report, the dog's color is appearing as a number instead of an actual color so if that can be fixed as well ...
to understand better:
record 1 in dogs, click the preview diploma button
you'll notice "tat" as dogname and "ry245" below that as registration number
now sire is "pat" and dam is "titu", i want their registration numbers to show as well (and same for the rest of the parents)
i uploaded the file here for a closer look:

thanks :)

Okay, brief overview.
We currently have 2 MDE front ends to and oracle box. Database is about 25Gigs and have been minimising the traffic by optimising the queries. However we have always noticed some very strange problems now that our user base is about 150. They seem to become more apparent when the MDE files reach a certain size. I have implimented an autoshut down and inactivity shut down protocol into the access front ends but I would really like to know why the MDE files are getting so large. They are normally about 5MB but get to in exccess of 130MB. The autoshut down is forcing everyone out which compacts it overnight!
When these databases reach critical mass, peoples data seems to be getting mixed up and one persons form is mixing data up with anothers!!!!!! What is casuing this? We are using the front ends over citrix too, is this the root of my problems. I am going to be copying the MDE file to each citrix box to speed it up and reduce the number of users on the mde. Ideally I would prefer an mde for each user but that is impractical.
Really my question is this, Why does an MDE file with no tables except linked via ODBC increase in size so dramtically? Is there a leak or somthing somewhere?
Thankyou in anticipation of any replies!
Marc

I made an Access DB program in my PC. I have 17 inches monitor and so I designed everything to fit in that screen. When it was deployed in the user's computer, it did not fit in his screen as he has only 14 inches monitor. The command buttons and other things were not visible and were out of view of the screen. I changed the screen resolution but it made the fonts look much smaller. I have used 12 pt fonts in my Prg. Is it possible to correct my forms so that it automatically fits in all sizes of screen?

Hi Access World Forums,
I'm an audio/video technician at a college and wish to use Access for a simple camera booking system, but do not have time to go through all the extensive help menus and tutorials about this program, and none I have viewed seemed to help.
I want four columns in the table. First, the user inputs a student ID number. Now my first problem is that I want the student name to appear in the 2nd column after entering their number. I don't know where to create the list of names or how to link them to their student ID numbers.
My second problem is I would like the 4th column simply to display the date seven days from the current one (as in whenever the db is used) for the return date without having to input it manually.
Any help towards these 2 problems would be most appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Edit: I'm using Access 2003.

a link is created between 2 sites
a circuit can travel over any given site
dataflow is from the left going towards the right
if site b fails, so does site c, d, e, f
but A still lives on
so how do I create a relationship between the tables to answer the queries correctly?
a site has many links, and a link has many circuits.
a circuit has many links
its a many-to-many relashonship.
I created a junction table to provide for the link circuit relationship.
I just need to know how to ask if site c is down, give me the link and circuit that is effected.
Or give me all the links and circuits effected.
The other site_1 table is there to eliminate data duplication for start abd end site which is just a site in the sites table. Its a form of normalization.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Jon

Hi all
I have the following query that will show the date, studentname, number of classes marked absent for that date.
i also want to show the total number of classes in the day, this is needed to make a quick comparsions to the total number of classes missed per day.
This is the code
SELECT Attendance.Date, Count(Attendance.Attended) AS CountOfAttended, Student.StudentName, Count(Attendance.ClassID) AS CountOfClassID
FROM Student INNER JOIN (Groups INNER JOIN (Classes INNER JOIN Attendance ON Classes.ClassID = Attendance.ClassID) ON Groups.GroupID = Attendance.GroupID) ON Student.StudentID = Attendance.StudentID
WHERE (((Attendance.Attended)=' Absent'))
GROUP BY Attendance.Date, Student.StudentName, Student.StudentID
HAVING (((Student.StudentID)=[Forms]![Frm]![cboStudent]));
This shows the date, the number of classes the student was absent for, the student name, the total number of class in that day.
But my problem is that it only shows the total number of classes marked absent again..... IS there a way to exclude the where clause from the Count(Attendance.ClassID) AS CountOfClassID part of the code...
Help is is welcome
Thanks

well i created a relationship between 2 tables where:tableA = invoice datatableB = company IDsi have 2 questions that i have been unable to resolve on my own. 1. i want to create a query where i am able to find all of the invoices from a single company using it's ID and add up all of the account payable/recieveables i learned how to add all of the values on a field but i don't know how to add the values on a specific row. so while i can add all of the ap/ar on the table with all of the information, i can't add the ap/ar of a single company despite the fact that my table sorts them apart (because i don't know how ><)would a code like iff([company id]= "#",add) be close to what i'm looking for? because that's all i'm been fiddling with to try to get my query to do what i want. so far i'm stuck with: AR: IIf([company ID]=1,[AR$$],0) whereas 1 is the ID of the specific company i'm trying to pull records for and AR$$ is the field that i'm trying to pull the information from.2. find a way so that i can get my table to print all of the records for a specific company based on the ID. so for example, if i wanted all of the invoices from company #9 then i would pull them out and print them. i tried expanding the + sign on the company ID table and printing it, but it obviously failed -.-"i would really appreciate any help that can be provided to me! i just started access so anyone that can link me to an article related to this would be greatly appreciated because i don't know the terminology/keywords that i should be searching for in the article page that i'm using for this case.

Hey all,
just have a small question...
Normally in a form if you use the '&' in front of a objectname or something like that it will underline the first following letter meaning you can use the 'ALT + letter' combination to use it.
Now I want to use the '&' sign in a label, without having it do anything like that. I just want it to display the sign, anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
Cheers,
Thomas
