I have built a code database where right now I display my sample code in a textbox on my main form. I was hoping to replace the text box with a Rich Text Box. I could then format the code to sort of match what would be shown in the VB/VBA IDE.
I know the Rich Text Box was disabled in Access 2003 for security reasons. I also know that there is another free RTF control. I was hoping to find out how Microsoft intended for us to replace the Rich Text Box. I could use a Web Browser Control but I was not sure of the best way to add this to my form and then feed it the data that was originally bound to the text box.
Thanks for any insight you would be able to provide.

I'm running Access 2003 and my question relates to delivery notes that are produced for drivers as reports. These delivery notes have a blank payment box for the driver to complete if the customer pays upon delivery.
As more and more customers are prepaying by credit cards, I'd like this payment box to be automatically filled with a "PAID" text which will let the driver know the order has already been paid for.
The delivery note is produced from an "Orders" table which has a "Paid" field whose value is automatically set to "Yes" when the order has been paid for.
I was hoping to be able to place a "PAID" label on the report which is only visible when the Paid field of the underlying query is Yes.
As things are at the moment I cannot see any way to put any conditional statement onto this Text/Label. The only options for the "Is Visible" property of the text are Yes or No.
I have a text box in a report that I want to combine a label and a date field (date field is based on a table). I need to format the date field to be different than the way it is in the table though. I used the "Format" part of the property window to say (mmmm", "yyyy) but it only works if the date field is the only thing in the text box.
Example: In the text Box, I want ="Medical Record Review - & [Date Added]" where [Date Added] now says e.g., 9/11/04, and I want it to say September, 2004. Putting (mmmm", "yyyy) in the format part of the property window works only if [Date Added] is the only thing in the text box. Is there a way to include both the text and the called field in the text box AND format the [Date Added] field as I need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
I need help with custom text formating. Everything I read says that @ is "Required text character" and & is "Text character not required", but nothing gives an example of &. Could someone give me examples of the difference between @ and & ?
I have a date that imports as text into my table. It imports as 20041201 which is yyyymmdd. I would like to convert this text to a actual date format mm/dd/yyyy. Is this possiable? Any help would be so great.
Hi there, I hope someone will take pity on me and help me as I am new to databases so here goes. I have combo boxes in a form that the user would like to be able to press the Enter key and just go to a new line, not go to the next field. This is so they can have say 4 sentences but have each one on a new line in the combo box. Hope this makes sense. Thanks
I initially thought I could make an IIF expression that basically says: if [d] in this row is the same as [d] in the previous row then add 1 to the previous record [new number], otherwise, enter 1 in this record [new number] (thereby resetting it)....
I have searched the forums for 'numbered sequences' (amongst other things), and it appears that either the Dcount or Dmax function appear to be the solution, but I'm having some trouble applying it to this problem. I was hoping someone can help me through it.
I am trying to enter an experssion into the grid for age groups. The result will be a text value based on the value in a column named Age. There are three groups, '<18', '18-30', and '31+'. I tried using the following but the result that is returned is #Error.
age_grp: Switch([age]<18,'<18',[age]>=18 And [age]<31,'18 -30',[age]>30,'31+')
Do I have the syntax wrong? or maybe I'm going about it completely wrong.
I have also tried a nested iif statement Age2:= iif([age]<18,'<18', iif([age] >=18 And < 31, '18-30'), iif([age] >30, '31+')). I get the same error message.
This worked for displaying the value on a report =IIf([age]>=18 And [age]<=30,"18-30",'31+'). However, I need to sort and group by the value so I can count the number in each group, so I wanted to put it into a query.
The following problem. Within my main form I have a status field. Dependent of the status of the main field I would like to lock the total record in my sub form at once. Within which event of the sub form could I achieve this and which property locks a total record?
I have a subform which has loads of check boxes for each record but i want to suppress certain boxes depending on criteria in each record. I think i need to do a For..Each statement but, as my user name suggests, I'm buggered!.
Hi I have 2003 Access Dbase from which some of the fields must be exported as comma deliminated txt and email to a repository.
I need the end user to see DOB, date format dd/mm/yyyy (15/06/1959) but it must be exported as ,15061959,Town,State....etc
Now I have formatted Table, Form & Query Fields (dd/mm/yyyy) and then carefully chosen the text export options...Removing the / date deliminator etc and saved the export format & kind. Included the correct path etc in to a macro and used Notepad.exe to display.
When it displays... as follows...15061959 0:00:00, IT ADDS A TIME?????
Short term workaround I have end user entering 2x IE 01/01/0001 & 01010001 as seperate text field. If I format date as ddmmyyyy then it displays this way for end user of course and not acceptable for other reports
Is there some way I get around this...or code/query/function I can use to convert for export purposes??????
I am hoping someone can help me, a real novice at Access 2000 - I am trying to construct a couple fields in a table, 1 of which will show a default value equal to a 2-digit year (yy) based on the current date. The second will display a default value equal to a two digit month (mm) based on the current date. Text fields would be ideal, but date field could work if it's the only way. Thank you for helping out a newbie.
I have some code that creates a dynamic "Append To" query. The problem is that when the code is run it creates the query but generates a Data Type Mismatch error. I have tracked this down to a [clientnumber] field which is formatted as text in both the main database and the one the Append to query is updating.
The client number appears as a criteria and this works for finding the client's record but it will not append it unless I enclose it in quotes. When it's in quotes it works fine.
Can anybody give me a clue as to how I can include, in the code, a formatting command that makes the information inserted into the criteria field appear enclosed in quotes. Or-
Perhaps explain why the problem exists when both fields are formatted the same in both the main table and the Appended To table.
Hello, I have a text file I'm querying that stores a field as a text. ComponentID:0000000242
I'm inserting this data into a table that stores this value as a number. Thus truncating the leading zeros. ComponentID:242
I would like to create a query on the table using an InnerJoin on the text file column:ComponentID:0000000242 and the table column:ComponentID:242 as the unique identifier. Doing this join gives a case error because of the different data types.
Can format ComponentID using a query so it reads from my table as 0000000242 and do an InnerJoin to the text file. In vb String= Format(242, "0000000000") But I'm finding it difficult to get the query to format this correctly.
Unfortunately, i'm unable to change the column data type in the table structure and am looking for a work around. Is this even possible? Any ideas?
I have a multicolumn listbox on my form. It works, but the second column is an amount, and I would like that column to be right-adjusted. Is there a way to do that?
I came into a database where the forms have checkboxes connected to table fields that are in text data type. I see that when the checkbox is checked, the value in the field is still -1 in the table. Is there a reason to change these fields to Yes/No data type or just keep them as they are? Are there limitations or problems to having Yes/No values (-1) in a text field?
I have set the format of a text box (named: scrILS) to percentage. It shows on the form as 0.00%
When I try to run calculations off of it like: = [scrILS]*[totBuysFYDP1], it throws this error: #TYPE!
It seems as though the textbox is keeping it as text for the percent sign "%" is preventing any calculations against it... here's the strange part... it doesn't happen initially when I open the form... the calculations work and I get no error, but I have code that recalculates everything based on values picked in a list box... on the requery I get the error.
When I look at the watch frame for that control it shows the scrILS value as: "00.0%" not 00.0%... any thoughts on this?
I attempted to just take the thing as a string and use a replace function against the "%" then calculating... that works, but then the initial form load throws the error.
Seems like I am missing something in the property settings, but I don't know what. Is there something that forces the format value, setting percentage as a number vs. text?... I thought that was just part of the format setting...no?
we would like to enter text that is always in this format,2013 04 11 / 09:15...I have tried using the field as date, with the formatting of yyyy mm dd / hh:mm...but the records keep showing a data entry problems with this format.
Can anyone help me out here. I need to use an unbound text control to return me a value if a field is populated else "Local" if the field is not populated. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and show me the syntax if it is. Help appreciated. Andy
I am trying to write an expression that calculates a new field in a query. The new field is simply recoding values from another field (survey question responses) using IIf statements. This new field, let's call it RecodedResponse, will eventually be summed in a totals query to get the total score on that survey for each participant. Each record is a question response and there are multiple records for each participant (16 items on this particular survey). The problem is that for 2 of the questions on this 16 item survey, the responses are supposed to be eventually combined and recoded based on each other. So, my question is:
Is there a way to do a conditional expression where the result from the previous record is used? Or do I need to first do a crosstab query so that all the responses for one participant are on one line?
I am pretty sure I can do a workaround to make it work, probably doing a crosstab, then recoding in another query based on the crosstab, but it would be cleaner (I think) to do this some other way. Any ideas? Or is this too vague?
