I am using the following code to display the text already typed in a field in a continuous form (see below).
Private Sub Specific_Matter_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Specific_Matter.ControlTipText = Nz(Me.Specific_Matter.Value, "")
End Sub
I need to change the background color to light green instead of the yellowish background, and also have the pop up box text wrap when a text is too long. Is there a way of doing this?
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
My problem seems to be on such a basic level, but I can't for the life of me work out why it won't work!! I have creatd a complex for which is a menu page for various reports. I have tried to put information on the control tip text to inform the user certain details. I have entered this in the properties of the label on the form. but, when the form is back in form view, nothig happens when the icon is placed over the label.
Please if any one can help I will be very grateful!!!!!
This is a very simple problem, and it seems to me like it should work but it doesn't. On my form, I have a field called [mindate], which looks up the earliest date from a table. I also have a field called [maxdate] which looks up the latest date in my table. These both work great. My third text box [difference] is supposed to find the difference between the two above dates in days, but it doesn't work.:eek: The control source of this [difference] text box is this:
Hi, I have a form that has 2 Calendar Controls that is used to select a Start Date and an End Date. I then have some code that will enter all the dates inbetween into the database.
One thing I would like to have on the form, is when the users selects a date from each calendar. The date is displayed in a text box under it. Just to have a visual double check to make sure they selected the right month/day/year before they hit the submit button.
Anyone know what code I would need to put in my form to make it do this?
I am currently working on a project that is almost complete, but my only problem is that I am clueless as to how I can get a text box in my report to hide base on if a text box in my form is hidden. Meaning that whenever this particular text box in my form is hidden then the text box on my report should be hidden too. how to get my form and report text boxes in sync with each other.
Hi, I just can't work this bit out. I am copying a description to another field but I want to add the word FastTrack - to it so that I end up with FastTrack - <whatever the description is>, I have included the code, can you tell me where I need to put the bit FastTrack - and whether I need " or ( or [ Thanks Me.Enquiry_Desc = [Forms]![Frm_edit_Enquiry]![Enquiry_Description]
im trying to add a text box for entering a date into the table database for my form but i cannot seem to connect the control source to the text box, the name of the box/script is not appearing in the control source list. I have already made a column in my table for this box on the form but just cannot connect the two properly?
In above example the criteria is based on [ProductID] on a form.Is it possible to change it, so criteria is based on a value from a specific query, i.e. similar as above?I have tried something like this, but it doesn't work:
I have the following tables and am trying to populate a text box on a form, and store that value in a field
TotalSegLengths
tbl_Segments LineNum SegLength 1 3 2 9 2 10
tbl_Lines LineNum TotalSegLengths 1 2 3
So when I create a new record in tbl_Lines from the form (Form is bound to tbl_Lines) it should query the tbl_Segments, add up the SegLengths for the corresponding LineNum and store that value in TotalSegLengths.
So for example, with the data as per above, from the form, create a new record with LineNum = 2 and it should display 19 in a text box and store 19 in the TotalSegLengths field.
I was trying to use DSum in the text box Control Source but was just returning an #Error in the text box.
I have two queries called "Query_match_AND" and "Query_match_OR". I want to show the total number of records for either of these queries in a form called "form_candidates_result" depending upon the combo box value (either "AND" or "OR") in a form called "form_match".If I put
Code:
=DCount("*","Query_match_AND")
in the control source of [candidatecount] in "form_candidates_result", the value is shown in the form and it works fine.If I use the following code in either of the "on load" or "on open" events in "form_candidates_result"...
Code:
Select Case [Forms]![form_match]![ANDOR]
Case "AND" Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_AND") Case "OR" Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_OR") End Select
I have an unbound form which has 2 unbound combo boxes on it, both based on the same table, but I have used a query for each one to created the sort order, one alphabetically by item name (cmbA) and the other numerically by the item number (cmbN) . I also have a text field (ID) upon which is based a report when the user clicks a button. Currently the text box (ID) has a control source of column 1 of cmbA and I have the report working perfectly if one selects from the name combo box (cmbA) What I want to do is allow the user to select from cmbN and have the control source of the ID text box equal the number the selected so the report button will work then also.
I have tried to set the control source after update of cmbN but all that does is blank out the ID text box. I have not done this before so I am sure I have done it incorrectly. I tried again this morning using me.ID.ControlSource = Me.cmbN and stepping through the code shows that the cmbN ControlSource is equal to ID but I can't make the code that follows use the results.
I currently have a DLookUp formula in a Text Box Control Source. It returns the value I am looking for, however, the value will not add to the record. I have tried putting the DLookUp formula in the Default Property, but it is not working.It is a multi-criteria DLookUp, where the criteria is entered into the form.
=DLookUp("[TBA CUSIPs]","[TBA CUSIPs]","[Settlement Month]=" & [Forms]![Enter Trade]![Settlement Month Text Box] & " AND [Coupon]=" & [Forms]![Enter Trade]![Coupon Text Box] & " AND [Instrument] = '" & [Forms]![Enter Trade]![Instrument Combo Box] & "'")
I want the calendar to show the date in the field [Next Payment Due] - whenever this value changes, the calendar date should change accordingly.
I want the calendar to be assigned to a text box (txtCalDate), so this would also contain the date of [Next Payment Due].
However, If the calendar date is changed (on the calendar), I want txtCalDate to show this date, but [Next Payment Due] to stay as it's original value. Next Payment Due can only change the value, but not be changed itself.
So I presume VBA would be needed to say when [Next Payment Due] is changed, make calendar this date. And then to simply assign the calendar to txtCalDate so if calendar is changed, this will change with the new date.
My form is based on a table (SOP TBL) and has several text boxes with control sources of the records in the table. I need to add a criteria to one field (SOP Number) so that only current versions of the number show up. I have the SQL for a query that I use in another form for a combo box as shown below. What this criteria does is find the version number which is the last 2 digits of the SOP Number and displays only that record for the SOP Number in the combo box. How can I apply this code to the text box with the control source directly from the table so only the current records are displayed on the form?
Code: In (select max([SOP Number]) from [SOP TBL] group by left([SOP Number], len([SOP Number]) - 2))
I am working with textbox [DispCD] (a date field) on form [Contract]. There is a dropdown on combobox [Searchbox] for selecting the desired record. I am writing VBA in the [Searchbox] OnChange event. The control source for [DispCD] would normally be "=Searchbox.column(11)". If "column(11)" has a date, I want [DispCD] to show that date and then be locked. If "column(11)" does NOT have a date, I want [DispCD] to allow entry of a date with the date picker showing. I've tried to assign the control source to [DispCD] with this:
CSVal = Format(Forms![Contract]!SearchBox.Column(11), "ddd m/d/yyyy") (this works) If CSVal = "" Then _ Forms![Contract]!DispCD.countrolsource = "=SearchBox.Column(11)"
I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" error.
I would like to right align my text for some fields in my list box control. Is there a better list box control out there than the standard one ? how to align the text. The default left alignment doesn't work for all my fields.I tried to search but came up empty.I did try a function "Justify String" I found on the internet This is what I tried .. Call JustifyString("frmExercise","List16",ExerciseTime, 2,True,False)
Here is info from the actual function.
Function JustifyString(myform As String, myctl As String, myfield As Variant, _col As Integer, RightOrCenter As Integer, Optional Sform As String = "") As Variant
I've just installed Stephen Lebans Rich Text Control as I have a a couple of memo fields on a form on a 2003 database where the user needs to be able to bold parts of the memo. I've installed it fine, and put the text control onto a form and it doesn't seem to do what i need (i.e. the Bold button isn't even enabled on the toolbar). I've downloaded the sample database that he has on the site and this works fine suggesting ive installed it correctly and i am going through the properties of the control with a fine tooth comb but havent found anything different yet to what i am doing on my trial form.
I would like the remaining part of my text control to show stars e.g control value is 12 it shows *************12 control value is 3567890 it shows *********3567890
My text control does not have a fixed width, this is set in code depending on various factors Thanks
Is it possible to simulate a control array in MS Access?
I’m using a restricted version of Access 2000. I can use all normal features but some Active X controls are not licensed and it will not be possible to licence them in time I have available for my project.
I have a form which has 14 combo boxes and 24 text boxes to allow user to choose shift type and enter start and end times of shift. I know in VB 6 I have used control arrays which has vastly simplified the whole code.
I have experimented with treating the text boxes as objects and trying to create a string with the first part of the name and using numbers to differentiate between the textboxes but Access does not seem to like this.
Hello, I've got a text box on my form header with a calculation in the control source that adds values from other text boxes on my form. My problem is that since the calculation is in the control source of my text box I can not save the sum of the calculation to a field on the forms bound table. Is there a way to move this calculation out of the control source and still have the calculation populate this text box with the sum of the calculation, so I can choice a field in which to save this calculations sum.
Calculation in the text box control source= [Tot40yrcomp]+[Totfelt1536]+[Totfelt3036]+ there will be many more other text boxes added.
I have entered an unbound text control into my footer, and typed in some text, and now when I go to Preview my report it's asking for a Parameter Value? There is no parameter, as it's just a return address typed in there. That's crazy!!!
I have a text box control in a form that is bound to a table field. The field is of numeric format that stores time duration in minutes. I would like to apply sort of transparent / automated conversion. It would work so follows:
- when someone read records, the text box would convert a integer number stored in the filed into text so that the text box would show the time duration in this form "HH:MM" - when someone clicks on the text box to change the value, one would input the value in this form again "HH:MM" but the text would be converted to minutes and then stored in the database.
I have a totals query that provides an avg for each month. i'd like to be able to use a text box control (named "Date") on a form (named "Report Runner") to show only a certain month and it's avg.
I tried using this as criteria on the "MonthGroupPMC" field:
