Different Fonts Styles In A Textbox For Report-HELP!
Jun 11, 2007
Hello All:
A database with Last_name, First_name, Midd_name and Suffix.
These textboxes are concatenated into another textbox called "full_name".
The font style chosen for the full_name textbox is "Old English".
The suffixes used are: II, III and IV.
When Old English is applied to Last_name, First_name, Midd_name, it looks great.
Unfortunately when Old English is applied to these suffixes, it looks terrible.
Is there a way to preserve the "II", "II" and "III"?
Is it possible to have more than one font style in a concantenated textbox?
This will be used for printing completion certificates, so the spacing of the names is important.(Report)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I developed a report using Courier New font. When I print to a HP4050 from my computer the report is correct. When I print to the same printer from a different computer fields are truncated as if it is using a proportional font.
Any idea as to whether this is a Windows or Access issue?
Thank you in advance for any help...

Hi Guys,
Being primarily a webhead, it is possible to have something similar to a Stylesheet (CSS) to control the fonts/colours of all my forms and their various controls?
I was thinking that if i created global variables i.e.
dim bgcolor as Interger
bgcolor = 13256464 (color value)
then creating a sub routine that cycled through various properties of the form
e.g. sub formatform ()
me.formheader.backcolor = bgcolor
I could then call this sub routine in the on form load event.
Is this a good way of doing it or is there a better alternative?
Ideally I would like to have the values for each form property in a table so that the user could potentially to change these or the application could be customized to suit a companies colour scheme?
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ben

Hi,
I've recently started working on a new database and already have most of my forms, queries and reports ready. However, I've been using a special font that is not available on most PCs. I was wondering whether it was possible to save the font inside the MDB file so that it can be viewed properly on other systems as well ? (Sort of like in Powerpoint).
Another thing (I guess it's impossible but I'll ask anyway) : Is it possible to save the whole Windows Style design (Scroll Bars, Arrows, Icons, Menu colors, etc..) in my database file ?
Thanks for your help,
Daniel.

I want to change the font spec for certain controls on a command bar I've created but can't find out how, or even if, it can be done.
Does anyone know how to do this? There might be an API call somewhere but I don't have any details.

I browsed a lot of posts related to fonts, and pored over my "Mastering Access 2000" and "Access 2000 Power Programming" books, but I couldn't find answers to my specific questions.
I have many years of experience with Access, but I've only recently become interested in making my forms look nice on a variety of user PC configurations. Now, like many others, I sometimes spend too much time formatting a form so it looks really nice on my PC, only to find formatting problems on the user's PC. For example, a label using Arial Rounded MT Bold looks great on my PC but is cut off on the user's PC. Similarly, Tahoma on buttons looks nice on my PC but looks bigger and bolder on the user's PC.
At first I thought this was probably a font problem. But then I realized that even with the same screen resolution, the forms themselves (not just the fonts) appeared bigger on the user's PC. Some forms didn't even fit inside a maximized Access window, whereas they certainly did on my PC - again, this is with the same screen resolution. So now I don't know if it's a font problem, some other problem, or perhaps multiple problems.
Which leads to my questions:
(1) If I set the size of a form on my PC, and the screen resolution is the same on my PC and the user's PC, then why does my form show up relatively bigger on some users' PCs? How can one control the look of a form if the form properties are not applied identically on different PCs?
(2) Why do all the fonts look bigger and fatter / bolder on some users' PCs?
(3) Is there a user-configurable Windows setting that overrides the font size settings I assign to controls?
(4) How can I determine in code if specific fonts are supported (if this is a necessary step)?
(5) What is the industry best practice for managing font selection, allowing for the possibility that the desired fonts may not be supported?
Thanks for your help...

I'm using a certain font - Guttman Yad-Brush (Hebrew, comes as a part of windows in Hebrew) in some forms and reports. On the design view of the objects, everything is OK. But when I try to display the form, or a print-preview of the report, Access refuses to show me that font. The text is clearly visible, in Hebrew, but in another font (I think Times-New Roman, but not sure).
The font is well installed, and works fine on other Office applications. Couldn't reproduce this behaviour with other fonts (but obviously haven't tried them all).

I'm using Access 2010's DoCmd.OutputTo in VBA to export reports to PDF. The "look and feel" of the PDFs are very important, as they will be distributed to clients of my company. I'm using special corporate fonts that are legally licensed for embedding as a subset. Two are .ttf (TrueType) and two are .otf (OpenType) fonts. The ttf fonts embed fine; the otf fonts do not, and the PDF viewer substitutes something it thinks is close (but really isn't). In the properties of the fonts in Windows Control Panel, the embedding properties are exactly the same for both.
Any way to force the fonts to embed? or any other workaround? Also, is there any way to edit-protect PDFs with VBA code? Or apply any other type of PDF security such as requiring a password to open?

I have a report that i export to pdf from access 2010 using OutputTo. The report is about 10 pages long. Every time i run this report, at page 5 and beyond, random letters become distorted, sometimes with a box sometimes with a question mark. All fonts I've tested are embedded. Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Georgia and others.
Attached is a sample of of the distorted pdf output.

I need to give users the ability to change the font of a field in a report. The field shows a barcode.
I thought of using the CommonDlg class to show the Windows font-selecting dialog box, but installed barcode fonts show as a barcode. I need to show the font name.
So I need to populate a combo box with the names of all fonts installed on a computer.
The fonts reside in C:windowsfonts
I have searched Google for a solution but cannot find one.
How do I populate a combo box with the names of all fonts installed on a computer?

On my Form I'd like to have a textbox that I could type something like the following...
Hi, My Name is Adam
Here is my favorite sport: Soccer
I'd like to find out what other people's favorite sports
Please send me an email back with your answer
Keep in mind the above could be one line, or it could be 20.
How can I transfer all the hard/soft returns etc. into a text box when I view and print the report?
Hope that made sense.
Thanks!

Ok I saw this posted up in the forum but it was not explained.
I have a Query which asks for a parameter before giving an output.
I have a report that uses this query to display the information.
Ok what I am trying to do is create a form that has a textbox and I enter the parameter's information in that textbox or textbox. How do I send the information to the query?
The reason for such a thing is people tend to not follow the set guidelines for putting stuff in a parameter box. So what I decided to do was set up a calendar form which a person has to physically choose the date from the calendar and this leaves no room for real error. My problem is I can get the calendar information to the textbox or textboxes but can't figure out how to code the button to send the textbox information to the query & parameters & report, etc...
Can someone please help me out of this situation? or point me to a starting point?

I have a form with 5 buttons on it. Each button is meant to select a warehouse location, so a query can be run to give an inventory report for that location. There is a separate query for each button and the OnClick event does properly modify the recordsource to give the appropriate data to the report for the location selected.
To this functionality I want the OnClick event VBA to pass the warehouse location to a textbox on the report, so the title of the report reflects that inventory location.
My code thus far is:
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim mySQL As String
Dim WHSE As String
mySQL = "SELECT [Master Part List].[Part Number], [Master Part List].Category, [Master Part List].Description, [Master Part List].MaterialCost, [Master Part List].Inventory, [Master Part List].Update, [MaterialCost]*[Inventory] AS [Total Cost], [Master Part List].Warehouse"
[Code] ....
When I get the report, the textbox is empty, instead of containing the text value for the warehouse location.

i have been trying to figure out how to make a textbox if it is null to be invisible on a report.
I selected the detail section on the report, under the Event tab, On Format option then selected [Event Procedure] and then clicked on the ellipses.
Tbl_Receipt_Description is the name of the text box.
*******************************************
If Me.Tbl_Receipt_Description = " " then
Me.Tbl_Receipt_Description.Visible = False
Else
Me.Tbl_Receipt_Description.Visible = True
End If

Basically what I have is a form where a user has a drop down combo box that he can pick more than one value.
I then want to take what he has inputted e.g. Option1, Option2 and put that on a report in an unbound text box with another field value.
For example
=[Field1] & "/" & Option1/Option2
Those forward slashes are quite important as well, so any solution would need to include those.

I have a footer in my Report that contains subtotals. I'd like to add a textbox that says "Total" to my report, and although this label shows up when I view the report, it disappears if I export to Excel. How to prevent the label from disappearing when I export? (Attached a screenshot of my report's design.)

FROM qryHoursReq
GROUP BY qryHoursReq.VolunteerId, qryHoursReq.Name, qryHoursReq.Program, qryHoursReq.S_date
HAVING (((qryHoursReq.S_date) Between [startdate] And [enddate]));
This is my query
I'm trying to get a count of distinct volunteerID in an unbound textbox on report.
If I use =Count(*) I get 2 when I put in date parameters and it groups by program
This is kind of correct, but, these 2 are the same person, she had different days she participated.
What code can I use for only get a count of 1
FOrgot to mention, when I use the DCount with numerous examples, I get #Error

I'm working on a report. I have a text box that contains directory path for a picture which is showed in a image box on my report which works great. I have now created a label called "nopiclb" that has "no Pic "entered in it but I want to set the label to not visible if path1 has a file path in it but visible if path1 is empty
I put the code below in onformat event in the detail section, but is not working
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.path1) = True Or Me.path1 = "" Then
Me.Nopiclb.Visible = True
Else
Me.Nopiclb.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

I have a textbox on a report that I wish to populate based on the value that is in another textbox/field on the report, and I thought DLookup was the way to go - however, I cannot seem to get it to work.
I have a table (ComplaintsResponses) that has two fields, both text
[ShortDescription]
[ResponseText]
The text from [ShortDescription] is saved in a field on another table that contains all the other relevant information that is used in the report, and whilst this short description is mostly fine, I have one report where I need the data from the larger [ResponseText] field.
I have tried the following code:
Code:
=DLookUp("[ResponseText]","[ComplaintsResponses]","[ShortDescription='" & [Reports]![PublicComplaintsArea]![txtSAPCRMResponse] & "'")
and
Code:
=DLookUp("[ResponseText]","[ComplaintsResponses]","[ShortDescription='" & [SAPCRMResponse] & "'")
Both of which return a #Error in the text box.
The field that contains the text that is used for the lookup is SAPCRMResponse, and the textbox on the report itself is called txtSAPCRMResponse.
