Did a quick search and it appears that this is not unheard of but could not find any solutions to the previous queries.
I've "Detect & Repair"-ed Access, I've created new forms, and new forms in new databases but to no avail, none of my ControlTips are visible.
The only Knowledgebase article that I found was Q232191, but this deals with the situation when a control is put on top of another one, and this has not happened in any of my circumstances.
On my Form I have a comman button with ControlTip Text that advises the user of what will happen when they push the button. Could someone please tell me why the Text is now not appearing when I put the mouse over the Command button? Thank-you for any help given.
Mouse hover over control will not pop up the standard yellow window with tips entered in the control's ControTip text property.
I tried to bring the control to the front but that doesn't work either.
At one time I disabled all bars and menus to have control over which ones appear for this application. However, I removed the registry entries for all preferences for the current user and the popups still dont appear.
Is there a way to disable/enable this functionality either by some configuration change in tools/options or programatically using Application.SetOption?
Just tried out ControlTip Text on some command and toggle buttons. The text pops up on some but not on others and I cannot determine what the difference is (the properties are essentially the same except for name, caption etc). What buttons work and what do not seems random but if I copy/paste a button that works, the copy always seems to work.
I have a parameter query built and am curious if anyone knows of a good way to allow the user to define which fields are displayed in the query results.
i tried looking for other threads discussing this without any luck.. not sure if it was my search terms or what. thanks so much for any help..
I'm trying to create a report where I can use a section header as a hyperlink to show/hide detail, but only for that section. For example, my customer names are:
Code: ABC Co. ZYX Co. 123 Co.
If I click on ZYX Co., I want it to show the contracts for ONLY that customer:
I have two tables, one for categories and one for records. I have sorted out the active records. But I only want to see each category once. Right now I see the category for each active records.
What I am looking for is a list of categories that have active records in them.
I have Part Numbers and Events. Each Part Number should have 4 different Event Numbers.
10 20 40 80
I would like to have a query that would show me which of these part numbers that do not have Event 10, 20, 40 or 80 with it and for it to show which of these four numbers it does not have.
This hard to explain. Can anyone tell how to do this?
I have a query made up of a number of other querries. the query works fine and I am able to get the results to go into a form, (I have been advised that calculations, which is what the results are should not be put into a table, so I havent). The query is set up to show results even if some of the origonal querries produce no results, again it works fine. My problem is that when I show the results in a form I want anything that produced no results to show "0". At the present time it just leaves the textbox blank. I need it show "0" in order that furthur calculations can be carried out! Make sense, I hope so!
I have a query that displays tow number fields. Feild1 and feild 2.
I only want to show the feilds that dosent match. If feild one has 50 and feild 2 has 60 then it would show. if feild one has 50 and feild two has 50 then it wouldnt show, only the values would show if they dont match
I'm trying to view the last two valuations for each property so that they can be compared. I can pull out the last valuation for each property and can pull out the top two records but not for each property, just shows me the top 2 of all records.
Hi again, my problem is that on a report I have a row of dates i.e. 10/10/2006, 11/10/2006 etc. However, people would prefer to see Monday, Tuesday etc. Is there a way to show the date as the day name. The date fields are all based on the Date() expression then +1, +2 etc so are always changing.
Hi, I have been using Access 2000 for quite a while now. I have been using the Immediate Window to call my code, but for some reason, this window won't display now, no matter what I do - I have repaired the installation and reinstalled it but to no avail
Hi there, i have a field called numbers - i need to throw a messgae box alert if the value within taht field reaches or is 5. I have records so if within any of these records if the number field contains say 5 then it should show john's number has reached 5. So it must read the first field name of that record and teh number field of the record. I've been trying to use the macro tool - but no luck yet. An start would be just to show that the number field has reched 5 without showing the first field record i.e. john not shown. Anyone have any idea how i could do this.
Have developed an Access dB for logging and reporting on support issues. The following query is used to show how many issues are raised in a specified time period.
SELECT ISSUES_BY_SYSTEM_AREA.report_category, Count(*) AS instances FROM ISSUES_BY_SYSTEM_AREA GROUP BY ISSUES_BY_SYSTEM_AREA.report_category;
REPORT_CATEGORY can have a number of values e.g. Technical Support Issues Configuration Changes User Admin Other
I have two questions (1) How do I get it to report for each category even if the number of intances is zero? For example, if there have been no instances of 'User Admin' this month, I want the results to show as follows (2) How to show the sum of these as well
For example what I want to be returned is: Technical Support Issues 5 Configuration Changes 14 User Admin 0 Other 2 Total 21
Currently this is what would be returned: Technical Support Issues 5 Configuration Changes 14 Other 2
I have a table with an autonumber incremental ID field using the format 0000, 0001, 0002 all the way to 1530. I'm trying to create a query that returns the last 5 records in decending order, so...
I am writing a very very simple query to identify postal codes from a list of addresses. The table containing the data has a field called POSTAL_CODE.
I need to exclude the last three digits of this postal code so as to only show the first 2,3,4 digits.
Example would be simple by having a query just showing the first few digits like this Left$([POSTAL_CODE],4) for example, however that will not show correctly for SK6 5LP and M2 4DJ and SK12 8LY.
I have either 2, 3, 4 digits I will need. All that is sure is - I do not want to see the last three digits. Identifying the last three is of course simple, but I cannot exclude them. Tried this
Right$([POSTAL_CODE],3) - and calling the field LAST_THREE and then ([POSTAL_CODE]-[LAST_THREE])
However does not work because these are numbers and letters.
Probably a simple one, can someone please help - perhaps a query that sounds like this : show all but not Right$([POSTAL_CODE],3)
