Cursor To Beginning / End Of A Field

May 26, 2006

I have done a half-dozen searches and only gotten 1 option.

There is a simple way to have the cursor at the beginning or end of a field when it arrives in a new field.

I saw the VBA code aboyt setting the length. There is an easier, simpler way to set it so that you don't have to apply the vba code to every single indiviual field.

I remember learning about it here on this forum, but now can't find it.

Can anyone remember how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Forms :: Position The Cursor To The Beginning (left Side) Of The Field?

Apr 17, 2013

I have several comboxes where I'm using date/time input masks. When I go to enter data in the field the cursor is situated at the right end of the box. I have to backspace to the beginning of the field to enter the data. How do I position the cursor to the beginning (left side) of the field?

How To Type In Number Value On Screen Field Without Having To Place Cursor At Beginning

Dec 5, 2013

I'm having trouble with a field on my DB. I have a field named zip code. It has a limit of 5 characters that are only number values, I'm not having any trouble with entering information at all, it's easiest when I just tab into the cell from the previous one. However, the part I am having trouble with is when I click within the field and the cursor, let's say, is at the second character line, and I enter the zipcode 15222, it'll only enter 1522 since my cursor is at the second line.

How can I fix this so that wherever my cursor is, within the box it'll type the full 5 digit zip code? My boss is insistent on making sure that even if he clicks towards the right of the box, it should type the full number.

Insert Date At Beginning Of Text Field

Mar 14, 2006

I have a text field called Notes - where we will add notes about the particular job. What I want to do is have it a locked field with a button 'Add Notes'. When clicked it will insert the date and the user name of the person and then let them type the notes. When they move to the next record - I want that field to be locked again.

I've got some of it down but still not right. I can get it so it inserts the date but it overwrites what is already there. How can I get it to just add the data - not overwrite? And I can't get it to lock when they move to the next record.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

Forms :: How To Know If A Button Was Pressed At Beginning Of Field AfterUpdate

Aug 8, 2013

Here is my problem

In namefield_AfterUpdate, I check for duplicate name entries and notify the user if any are found - they are prompted as to whether the duplicate was accidental or intentional and continue working. This works fine for normal circumstances.

However, if the user updates namefield so that the value is a duplicate of an existing name in the database, but then presses Cancel (or Delete), then the namefield_AfterUpdate is fired and what button they pressed. The button Click code does not run first.

How can I tell if the user updated the name, but then realized they didn't want to save, and then clicked 'Cancel' (or any button) and the code should really skip the duplicate check validations/messages?

Queries :: How To Insert Data In Text Field At The Beginning

Sep 21, 2013

I created an update query to a text field in a table. However, it inserts the data at the end of the string and I need to insert it at the beginning of the string that already exists. How do I move it to the front instead of the end?

This works but puts it at the end:

[Field Name] & "BlahBlah"

Validation Rule - Enter 9 Numbers Into Field Including 0 In The Beginning

Feb 29, 2012

I only want the user to be able to enter 9 numbers into the field including 0 in the beginning if needed.

I have this code in at the moment "Is Null OR Between 100000000 And 999999999", however if the number starts with a 0, it doesn't include it.

Else I'll just use an Input Mask

Move Cursor To Next Field 'onchange' Etc..

Apr 17, 2005

I have 4 drop down lists calling values from a query.
This part works as expected.

However, I would like the focus to automatically change to the next drop down field after ANY (valid) entry is made.

IE

Drop Down 1: "any value" ----> focus automatically set to Drop Down 2, etc

The code I have only relates to 1 of the drop down values, I want it to rerlate to any of the values.

*************
Private Sub Question1_AfterUpdate()

If Me.Question1 = "Yes" Then
Me.Question2.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
*************

My values are simple, just "yes" "no" "I don't know", etc.

OR

If this cannot be done with drop downs, how about with field lists?

:cool:

In A Subform, Unable To Stay With The Cursor On A Field.

Sep 1, 2006

When I try to edit fields in a subform the cursor always jumps to the first record's first field with a tab stop. I can not complete the modification and the cursor jumps back to the first record. When on the first record and on any other field the cursor will jump to the first field with tab stop.

I use Access 2003.

Forms :: Set Focus - Sending Cursor To First Field

Dec 31, 2014

I have a form (Home_Interview_Form) with several subforms (AirFresheners, Pesticides1 etc), and I would like the cursor to move from the last field in one subform to the first field in the next subform on keydown. I have written the following code, but instead of sending the cursor to the first field (PestSpray) it is going to the next field (PestSprayCom) in the subform for some reason. I am using Access 2013.

Private Sub Fresh2React_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Forms!Home_Interview_Form!Pesticides1.SetFocus
Forms!Home_Interview_Form!Pesticides1.Form!PestSpr ay.SetFocus

Forms :: Place Cursor At The End Of First Line In Memo Field

Dec 2, 2014

I have created a button that takes the contents of a memo field and adds a new line of text at the top with the date, time and initials of staff member. So far, so good...

However I want it to end with the cursor ready at the end of the first line (to type the note) The following code does everything but ends by putting the cursor right at the end of all of the text in the memo field (instead of the end of the first line):

Code:
Private Sub Command59_Click()
Me.Note = Format(Now, "d mmm yyyy hh:nn") & " - " & "(" & DLookup("[login]", "logintable") & ") " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Me.Note
Me.Note.SetFocus
Me.Note.SelStart = Len(Me.Note)
Me.Note.SelLength = 0
End Sub

Beginning A Database

Apr 25, 2005

Hi,

I would like to setup a MS ACCESS database for the 174 styles that we sell. I would like the user to see the item ref, manufacturer, where the goods are packaged, bulk price, packaging costs, total costs of that item (=bulk + packaging costs), M.O.Q, carton quantity, Contact, Email address, Supplier Address.

Could someone suggest a checklist or alternatively a set of procedures i would have to follow to setup this database? I would like the user to be able to type in the item reference so that it brings up all the information stated above, which would be stored in the data table.Is this possible?

I have the the information stated above in an excel spreadsheet format if I link this to an access related database can i setup a search mechanism, if yes please advise how?

I am not so bothered about the way it looks at the moment I would just love to see it up and running.

Please advise the best way for me to approach this? If someone has a "readme" file which would help me set this up, It would most appreciated????

Thanks in advance ;o)

Delete <space> If At Beginning Or End Of Value?

Dec 4, 2007

Hey all,

I got a massive lump of WORD documents with Avery Mail label tables -- each avery mail label template/table has a mailing address. This how these people store their data. :mad::confused::mad:

So I went through and over a couple days transfered all 458 records to an excel spreadsheet for easy importing to my access mailing database. Problem is that I forgot to clean up a couple of the fields and now I have all these values with unnecessary spaces as the first or last characters for a lot of values.

My question:
Could anyone help me remove the first and/or last character of these values if the character is " "? Would it be easier to do this in excel and just re-import?

Criteria: Searching From Beginning

Jul 1, 2005

Hello,

Im having trouble with Criteria for a query. I have my criteria like this:
Like "*" & [Forms]![NewSearch]![txtSearch2] & "*"

The only problem is, if im trying to search for a last name such as "Aber" the search results come up with not only Aber but also anything that contains Aber, such as the last name Singaber.

How can I make the criteria search from the beginning of the Name, and not anywhere in between?

Please help, going to drive myself nuts :)

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Beginning ASP With A Microsoft Database

Feb 9, 2005

Hey guys,

This is my first post here so please forgive if it seems rather elementary.

Here's the deal, I am a web developer finishing up my senior year of college. I have a client that is using a Microsoft Access database on a web site and the site is built with ASP. I have never really used these two items together before and need to write some scripts to do simple database functions.

I have a lot of experience with PHP and MySQL databases and SQL query statements but I haven't figured out the syntax to go with Access and ASP.

Is there a good beginner's site that covers this? I have scoured the web and found nothing useful.

Also, the following line of code gives me the following error:

objConn.execute("UPDATE Sheet1 SET Salutation='Jose' WHERE Salutation='Mike'")

gives the error

"
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Operation must use an updateable query.

/tester/tester.asp, line 22"

That is line 22. I am connected okay because I can do select statements. The table name and field name is correct as well but I don't know why I get this error.

Thanks

Show Zero At Beginning Of Number

Dec 19, 2005

I have created a table that contains banking info. I have a field for Transaction #; the Transaction # is always 4 digits. Sometimes that number begins with a 0. When I enter the 0 at the beginning, Access will not show it. I've tried setting the Input Mask (tried #### and 0000) but that still didn't work. The field type needs to be number so that my report will sort properly. How do I get the 0 at the beginning to show?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Modules & VBA :: Search That Works Unless Beginning With I

Jul 8, 2013

I have a simple bit of code that searches for a [User Name] field the basic idea is I place a field called "search" on a form and set its on change to

Private Sub Search_Change()
Search.SetFocus
strtarget = Search.Text
If strtarget < "a" Then strtarget = "a"
[User Name].SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord strtarget, acStart, False, acSearchAll, False, acCurrent, True
Search.SetFocus
Search.SelStart = 100
End Sub

it takes the text entered in the search field and calls it Strtarget then resets focus on the field I want eg [user name] once the search has done it resets the focus on the search field so you can carry on typing this works very well unless the search string starts with a letter I.
