I am in the process of trying to build a template in forms for my boss to quickly enter information and construct a PowerPoint presentation from this information.
Basically, I have a form that he can enter information, but it needs to look professional (not datasheet view). Is there a way that I can make a subform and frame it, so that I can copy the entire form (not just the data) and paste it onto powerpoint? I need the formatting to be consistent and appealing!
Well, I apologise now, because this will probably be badly explained, but anyway, I was wondering if there is a way to create a button in a form, which would act like a frame (or inner.HTML, etc). So for example ::
Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3
And when you click "Button 1", it comes up with a certain section, and makes the others disappear, which could for example be a section of text, and a button to open another form, etc.
You get me? Sorry if you don't. I've always been quite bad at explaining this kind of stuff. If you don't, I'll gladly explain myself again.
First quetion how can i make some form to be with two frames, one is the navugation tree and the second one is a frame that is changing akk the time, which means the navigation tree is not changing ever. i am trying to build somthing like asp with two frames and a record set and i dont know how.
the second question i have is how can i put an html frame in a form? i have some link to sme web site in my database, andd i want this data base to be open inside the form of the access and not with my browser in a new window.

This is surely just going to be a simple dim statement or code.I have 2 forms, one is plancontrol and the other is contacts. The plancontrolform holds a record of contacts for different forms - the contacts form is merely a seperate form to choose which contacts you want to add. (it was to messy keeping it all on one)The contacts form uses cascading combo boxes to choose a contacts. This all works fine but after a contact has been chosen, i want to (through a command button) add it to a viewable list. Once the user has selected all the contacts they want they can close the contacts form. The names will be automatically entered into the plancontrol form. This is not my normal type of database as it is linked to Otulook, therefore some of the rules i abide by i cannot!!Any ideas? Should i (and how do i) keep adding the names to plancontrol as i go along, or just do it all in one go at the end? p.s. plan control is a continous form.thanksKev
I am currently creating a database which stores customer details and booking details.
I have the following tables: Customers and Reservations, both of which are linked by the CustomerID field.
The customer form automatically assigns a CustomerID when you enter data, however I then want the CustomerID to be copied on to the reservations form aswell. Also, the reservations form is a new form and not a subform.
I've created a frame but I'm not able to actually to put textboxes inside it, only radio buttons. Is there anyway to force textboxes inside the Frame? Thanks in advanced.
I have a frame on a form with 2 toggle buttons in it - i want to be able to toggle the buttons to set criteria for a query which i can load as a report from clicking a button - is it possible to do with IFF? or is there an easier way - is it possible to have the report as a sub-report on the form and it to change when i toggle the buttons?
TBLInvoice which contains to fields relative to the question UseDefaultDescOfServices = Yes/No Type DescriptionOfServices = Long Text Type with Rich Text Enabled
And second table called TBLCustomerPOs which contains a field DefaultDescriptionOfServices = Long Text Type with Rich Text Enabled
What I am trying to do is if the UseDefaultDescOfServices = Yes then copy the data in DefaultDescriptionOfServices to DescriptionOfServices and make the field read only and turn off the boarder on the field. If it set to no then the user can enter his own data, turn on boarder and make the field editable.
However I am failing at the first hurdle, i.e. I cannot copy the data. Below is what I have tried to do but it doesn’t do anything.
If [TBLInvoice]![UseDefaultDescOfServices] = -1 Then [TALInvoice]![DescriptionOfServices] = [TBLCustomerPOs]![DefaultDescriptionOfServices] End If
I'm not entirely new to Access, but I don't have the formal training or experience to accomplish what I'm attempting. And, after hours of research, I haven't been able to find anything that quite works. I know it's do-able, I just can't figure it out. Any help is much appreciated. I'm using Access 97.
In a form (MasterBadgeForm), all fields require completion. However, I want to force the user to complete 2 fields before any of the others are visible.
The 1st 2 required fields are: - HostLastName: ComboBox (user's last name based on a simple query called HostMasterQuery) - Visitor_Guest: Bound option group frame with option buttons "Visitor" (option value = 1) and "Guest" (option value = 2).
Note: The logic behind using an option group frame (instead of check boxes, etc.) is to force the user to choose "Visitor" or "Guest", but not both or none.
After both fields ("HostLastName" and "Visitor_Guest") are completed, I want 2 things to happen:
First: Depending on the choice selected in the Visitor_Guest option group frame, I want respective combo boxes to either be visible/available, or not. For example, if the user selects the "Visitor" option button, I want to make visible a combo box named VBadgesCombo (based on a simple query that has pre-defined "Visitor" numbers) and "hide" the combo box named GBadgesCombo. The same concept applies if the user selects the "Guest" option button.
Second: I want all the other required fields to become visible.
I've done a ton of research, but I just can't quite figure it out. Any help is much appreciated.
Code: 'Pacer frame set to proper background If Me.FrmPacer.Value = 1 Then Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbGreen ElseIf Me.FrmPacer.Value = 2 Then Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbYellow ElseIf Me.FrmPacer.Value = 3 Then Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbRed

I have multiple frames on one subform that when selected sets a unassociated labels back color. Then when cancelled by undo code the back color stays on the color that it was changed to on afterupdate event from the frame with option controls. I would like to loop thru but could not come up with the proper method if it is even possible.the above code works after refreshed, but just wondering if there is a shorter or more efficient method.
I have a problem that is very tedious. I have 9 separate copies of the same databse (there is a copy of each database for every branch of my company. Each database has small custom features that show what company it belongs to) i was told to make a new feature, and in the making, i had to make 40 new queries, 12 new forms 8 new macros, 12 new macros and 6 new forms. this feature needs to go into all of the databases. As far as i know, im going to need to copy and paste each individual query,form, macro and form. Thats 72 different things i will have to copy and paste into 9 separate databases. Does access provide an easier way to go about this? any help?
I currently have a form with the below fields (example names)
FRMFormName001
Field001 Field002 Field003 Field004
RPTReportName001
Once the info is filled out we click a button that converts it into a report and once the information is confirmed correct you have to click another button Email it off, this is currently done by a macro creating the report as a attachment PDF File.
The system has now changed and they now want the details in the body of an Email, is it possible to make the details be copied straight into an Email body by a simple macro button click or similar?
I would like the text from the previous field Invoice_Contact copied into the field Invoice_Contact of each new record created. I think I can use CTRL ' - but would like it done automatically if possible.
Field location: Form = PatientUpdate - Subform = F_Invoice - Field = Invoice_Contact
The form and subform are linked through: Pat_ID
The subform is based on the table called Invoice with Invoice_ID as the primary key.I tried several variations of this DLookup from examples I found on the web but the field comes out with "error" in it and its flashing!
I'm trying to make a template form for a helpdesk, at the bottom would be a "Copy to Cliboard" button that when pressed will copy to clipboard in the format of:
label1 textbox1 label2 textbox2 label3 etc...
I got the jist of it, but got lost somewhere along the way, this is what I have so far:
Code: Option Compare Database Option Explicit
Private Function fcopyfields() As String Dim strapp As String Dim strapplabel As String
I have a psychology project where we soon use a questionnaire on a daily basis (maybe 80 variables per day per subject). Currently, there is no data in the database.
I've managed to create a table called day1 (with 80 day1 variables) and a form that looks like the questionnaire we want to use (and linked apropriately to the variables in the table for day1).
What is an easy way of duplicating the table and form for successive days? That is, i want the structure of the day1 table copied to another table (call it day2). It has exactly the same variables except they are slightly different to differentiate them from day1. I would like the form for day2 to have exactly the same layout as the form for day1, but link to the variables in table 2.
I know i could just couple the day1 table, change the variable names slightly, and then copy the form for day1 and change the links to point to table2, but there are many assessments (18 days).
I have created a table with ole object types and linked word documents. I am now trying to create a report with the word documents showing up. The problem is that the size of the word document varies, some are half a page some are several pages. When I create the report with the object frame, I can't seem to find a control property to 'can grow'. Is there some way, possibly using VB, to create that feature. I'm thinking the VB way might be to access the embedded file and find out it's size and then size the object frame accordingly. I don't want to make the frame set to the largest document because then there will be blank pages that I don't want in the smaller documents.
I want to give the user the ability to run a report but display records based on different user defined time frames. So when I run the report it allows (on the Enter Parameter Value prompt) user to enter 30, 45 60 etc (to represent days). The report then looks at all records with a start date in the next x days based on what user enters
For a separate report, I want to be able to run the same report but give user (based on drop down) ability to view all reports or only those from today's date only.
It basically is used to create, manage and track Customers, Parts, Work Orders and Suppliers, payments and employees.You simply create a Customer and then create a Work order that contains a list of parts and labour items.
What I want to do is to create a "Kit" of parts so that the user does not have to select each part individually when they create a Work Order. For example, if I use a mechanics workshop as an example, the mechanic may sell his "Signature 1916cc Engine" that consists of 40 different parts and some other items such as labour and other services. In this scenario, instead of the user individually selecting 40 different parts, all he needs to do is select the Kit called "Signature 1916 cc Engine" from a drop down list and all of the 40 parts and other items would automatically populate the correct Work Order Parts/Labour tables.
I would also like the user to be able to select another "kit" that would either replace all parts and labour records or append to what is already there.
I have changed the form called "Workorders" to have 2 buttons. One called "Load Kit" the other called "Save Kit".If the user presses "load Kit" a form will be displayed that enables them to select a "kit" from a list and whether they want to replace all of the existing parts and labour records or if they want to append to the existing records.
In order to create a new kit, the user can simply manually create a new work order by individually selecting each part and labour item and then pressing the "Save Kit" button. The user will then be asked to provide the short name of the Kit and the long description (I have created table called tKit). The new kit will then be saved.
It appears that the "Entered by" field that is linked to the Employee table must not be blank other wise the Workbook is NOT saved....I have tried to figure out why this is happening but can't!
The Work Order Parts are stored in "Work Order Parts" and the Work Order Labor is stored in a table called "Work Order Labor". I have created 2 extra tables called "tKitWorkOrderParts" and "tKitWorkOrderLabor" that I assume will contain the items that make up the kits..
I have several Suppliers, each of whom holds several SalesEvents. At each SalesEvent I might buy none, one or more Bundles. Each Bundle then contains one or more Items. These relationships are all reflected in my Access 2013 desktop db as one-many relationships with cascaded updates.
My form structure for data entry reflects the Relationships, in that I have a Supplier form with a SalesEvents subform. On that subform I can enter data about each of that Supplier's SalesEvents, and each SalesEvent row has a button to call up a SalesEvent form which has a Bundles subform. Then each row of that subform has a button which calls up a Bundle form containing an Items subform. That Bundle form identifies the Supplier, Sales Event and Bundle number, and within its Items subform I can then enter the data for each Item.
Problem : All used to work fine, but I've clearly changed something because now when I select the Items button on the Items subform in the Bundle form, the system gives me the data for the first record in the SalesEvents table, rather than the one selected. I have checked the raw data and that's as it should be. I have tried to undo all the steps I took since it last worked properly, but to no avail. Restoring the last backup (taken when I'm sure it worked properly) still has the problem.how do I find what data is actually being passed between forms and subforms ?
I have one memo per change (user input)...I need to have the comment the user inputs to copy into other records that were queried. I tried insert. My coding does one of the records or all of the records ..I need it to copy just to the queried records ...and I have a query but no filter set.
I have an unbound form on that form I want to put three sub forms one on a products table the other on a course start dates table and the link table that joins the other two together. all three are related to each other with Pk/FK links.
When I try to link them it says you cannot link items on an unbound form.
I have a main form with multiple subforms in tab view, right now the forms only open in edit mode, I would like all forms to open to new record mode. I know I can set the main form with the switchboard manager but what about the subforms?
I am attempting to create a database for my users to input new data via a main form. I have this main form where I use subforms as look up tables/queries to pull my stored data from. My problem is that I want to try and not have the subform on the main form; I want it to be its own window. Bear in mind I am new to using Microsoft access, and trying to learn as I go.
I have created all the forms with queries. I use the open form command to get me to my subform, which is a common findings form. From there I am able to search and filter, and once I find my desired record I want to be able to link certain fields back to the main form. (basically if possible use a command button to select this information and insert it on the main form). Typically, my users will have a generic finding to to record so I have inputted these findings so that they can select them and not have to type them themselves. Is this even possible for me to do this way, with a command button by writing a VBA code and linking criteria? The reason I am creating a separate form is so that the main form is not cluttered and is user friendly.
The fields I want to link are the same, however they are not from the same queries, and essentially the main form has its own since as of right now there is not data because it’s run of user input. The findings form has data. There are relationships established.
Thanks for any help, I feel like this might be confusing since I am unsure of exactly what I am trying to do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay. I am trying to build a form where I could get information like this but also editable. It can be either bound or unbound with enough information to update the records. I could do this several other ways but would prefer it just like it is below. Any ideas is greatly appreciated. Sam.
