I have a couple of subforms on one particular PC where the data is showing in some strange font, WingDings or something like that. On my PC the data shows correctly.
Please see screenshot here: http://www.confetti.ie/screenshot1.jpg
I tried changing the Font Name for all the controls in the subform to common fonts Arial, Times etc but it still shows as WingDings.
I also tried changing the default font under Edit > Options to common fonts with no change. In the Options I tried changing font options on the Datasheet and Tables/Queries tab.
I did some searching on changing the color of a font if you change the data. I found a few posts but they really don't fit the need.
I am using a continuous form (which makes this even more difficult) and when someone changes data in a field I want that forecolor to change from black to red.
Is there an easy way (I know not everything is easy) :) in the conditional formatting to create an event? I am thinking not but thought I would ask.
My GUESS is that I need some sort of temp table to verify the data against then return with the forecolor change.
I have a form "Training", with a combo box that holds employee names and a subform with all of their training records linked by "EmployeeID". Quite often lately, when the user selects their name from the combo and the code below runs, someone else's records appear in the subform. There doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern, ie. the previous employee on the list or the next, etc.
Private Sub Combo6_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control.
I have the db split with both the FE and BE on the server and a batch file that runs from a link on our intranet. The table that holds all of the data is at 3,195 records and the db is just under 4MB. I compact/repair regularly.
There are 66 users - usually 3-4 concurrently.
Is it time to think about moving the BE to SQL or Oracle?
I am experiencing a problem in MS Access 2013. I have a form which was working just fine until now. It has form labels in Calibri font and their font colour is one shade lighter than black. Today, I changed the font colour of the form labels to be Automatic - black (shows as 'Text 1' colour in the form properties). I did this in Design view.
I find that when I switch to layout view, the font of the labels appears as Century Gothic. This is the font that appears in the Form view. So while the font colour is correctly changed, the font name is not what I had set in the Design view. When I go back to the Design view, and change the font colour back to the original colour which was one shade lighter than black (Text 1, Lighter 50%), the font is correct in the Layout view and the Form view (Calibri).
So it seems that there is some sort of binding between the font colour (black) and the font name (Century Gothic). When I change the font colour, the font also changes. When I restore the original colour (one shade lighter than black), the font Calibri is correctly retained.
One more question... I'm loving Access... much more than Lotus Approach!! :-) Here's something I've wanted to do in Approach... how do I do this in Access???
REPORT showing all customers
1. John Doe, owes 9.00 2. Jane Kane, owes 10.00 3. Rob Johnson, owes 30.00 4. Albert Icar, owes 22.00 5. Johnny James, owes 5.00
Query all customers owing more than 10.00 (in this example it would be Rob and Albert).
In the report, I want Rob and Albert's name to be red font only, while everyone else is just regular black font.
Thanks to all posters who have assisted me thusfar, and anyone that can help with this.
I would like to be able to change font color and appearance while entering data into a form (example: italicize a word). Is there any way to activate the font format while in a form?
I have 2 excel sheets that I have imported as external data. I created a relationship between the 2 tables on part# field that is common to both. The relationship is to take all info from A table and only those from B table that match. The part# field is set to text in both tables. When I run a report that merges the 2 together a significant # of parts in my field change to a negative number. For instance the part# in both tables are 12345678 it is changed to a random -3452345 number..
I am not sure how this query I made is pulling up wrong data. Everything else is fine, except for 1 row of data. It is supposed to pull how many demonstations were scheduled for that day and how many were executed. It comes up with 4 demos and 8 executed. That can't be right. I checked it with the actual data and there are 6 demos total and 4 executed. Anyone know what could be going on there? For the other 30 something records it works just fine.
SQL: SELECT [Promo count].PromoNo, [Promo count].[# of Demos], Count(DemoOrder.Status) AS CountOfStatus, CountOfStatus/[# of Demos] AS Percentage FROM [Promo count] INNER JOIN DemoOrder ON [Promo count].PromoNo = DemoOrder.PromoNo WHERE (((DemoOrder.Status)="E")) GROUP BY [Promo count].PromoNo, [Promo count].[# of Demos];
I've been trying to modify a database I downloaded from the Microsoft site entitled 'Inventory management database.mdb'. Using Macros developed by microsoft for their example database (which I've modified) a macro opens up a list of reports - which can be individually opened up by clicking on them. However, when I try to open up one of my reports which appears on the list, I get the following error message:
"An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments
You tried to run a macro or use a method to carry out am action, but an expression evaluated the wrong data type."
I guessed this meant I had perhaps specified the wrong datatype in my table, rom where I had written my list of reports, but this all seemed okay when I checked and compared it with the working original. I had specified text (and autonumber for the report ID number)
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?
I am using the following control source for a text box on a report: =nz([Raw_Turb], "---")When I do, it pulls data from a different field from the data source. I am pulling the data directly from the data table. I have tried creating a query and get similar results only from a different data field!I have tried the same control source on a different report and it works correctly! Why does it not work on the current report?
I am writing the following query to insert data in tblpostroom from another table. Both the tables have same field names like Date1,582,1810.Now If I run the following query then in the fields 582,1810 of tblpostroom , the data gets stored 582,1810 respectively for all the records. But in actual fields 582 and 1810 store different data.
Code: INSERT INTO tblpostroom ( Date1, 582, 1810 ) SELECT Date1, 582, 1810 FROM Sheet1;
This I think is easy, but I can't put my finger on it. I have a table of processes 12 of them. In the query I have them by date. What I want to do is to be able to show all 12 processes even if there is no info in them. I have a completed button, but if there is no info in the process the completed or not completed won't show up. The process is associated to an event. Hope this makes sense.
Any suggestions? I tried in the report to have a grouping, but if no information is present for that process it doesn't show up. I want the process to show up with or without info. So the end users can track the progress on a week by week basis.
I don't know if anyone can help me with this one at all.
I have a query that contains all the possible data that my users will wish to get data from but I want them to have the option to show/hide particular columns to make the query ad-hoc.
I have some code that copies my query to another of a unique name during the course of their Access session so they end up with a query with the name 'ABC' for example that they can run.
If this query ABC has columns A,B,C,D which are all defaulted to be shown and the user decides they are not interested in columns B and C is there Access code that is equivilent to this pseudo-code?
I want to use a column in a query to show where data is missing in other fields.
In excel I have used this statement:
=IF(COUNTA(I5:J5)=2,"","error")
Basically, I have two fields PRICE and WEIGHT. I want a column in the query to show 'Error' (or any kind of flag) when either (or both) of these fields are blank.
In one table i Have component group Id and the description as fields then another table has the sub groupings for each Component Group Id
Example Component Group ID = 1 which is the primary key Description = Keyboards
Component Sub datasheet has Group ID = 1 foreign key Descriptive Options = USB, Wireless, PS2, Serial
I have joined both of these in a query but what i want is the query when i link it to the combo box on the form i have to only show the Group ID once and not repeat it for as many times as each subdatasheet has records.
Example: When i click External Device I dont want to see the word Keyboard being repeated 4 times (which is because there are four subrecords/types of keyboards) Please Advise.
I have a form field with a date in it, is there any way I can make the value in that field display one thing, but still run a query based on the original text?
for example: txtDate is 1/1/1000 if txtDate = 1/1/1000 then display = "*"
but the query still runs on 1/1/1000
I am asking this because I am trying to run a between statement for a date range and the only way I can do the entire range of dates on my table is to use the highest and lowest date possible (1/1/1000 and 1/1/3000) but I only want the users to see "*" so they are not confused.
This one is driving me NUTS! I have a form with a combobox, a few textboxes, and a sub-form. On Load the form is populated with a sql command/rcSet.Fields() results. The user then chooses a status from the combobox to narrow down the results. The combobox OnChange event looks like this... sDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtS_Date.Value eDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtE_Date.Value xJob = Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").lstJob.Value

I have used similar code on another form and everytime the search criteria changes the sub form updates to reflect such. I know I am missing something small; can somebody please point it out?:D I need to have the subform show the updated (choice from combo) criteria.
If this seems to cloudy, please let me know and I will try and revise
One of my forms in the database is not showing some records in a particular field. Although those records are entered through the same form and are shown in the table, yet some of them are not visible in the form.
This is happening only in a particular field, and in that field, some records are shown , and some are not shown.
I have two forms. The first form has individual data to include the person's Social Security Number (SSN). I have another form (subform) that has other data to include the person's SSN. I added the subform to the form (linked the SSN). Unfortunately, only the SSN field appears in the subform. None of the other data in the subform appears in the subform.
I have a subform on a form which I load up after the user enters a value in the main form by using the sourceobject property of the subform, the problem i have is that after reloading the main form and the user entering another value, the textbox.value of a control on the subform will sometimes not show the correct value. I am aware that textbox.value doesn't change until the after update event, however this particular textbox is just showing information that has just been queried from the database.
I have a Subform that is inside a Subform that its only purpose is to display some calculations but for some reason it is blank. Here is a screenshot of what I am dealing with:
See that area under "Pump Calc" that is blank...it should have data in it:
Here is the query that drives that data:
And here is a copy of that subform running in form view:
IVE GOT A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT DATA ACCESS PAGES AND THE DATA THAT IS SHOWN. IVE CREATED A DATABASE THAT HAS AROUND 25,000 RECORDS OF LANDUSE PROPERTIES AND HAVE CREATED A DATA ACCESS PAGE TO VIEW THESE RECORDS. THE PROBLEM IM HAVING IS THAT WHEN I LOAD THE FORM ONLY 1000 RECORDS SHOW OUT OF THE 25,000 THAT I HAVE IN MY DATABASE. ARE THERE ANY SETTINGS THAT ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE HOW MANY RECORDS CAN BE SHOWN? IS THIS ONE OF THE SHORT FALLS OF DATA ACCESS PAGES? :confused: ANY COMMENTS MUCH APPRECIATED.
