Embedded Table Showing ID's Rather Than Text Labels
Jun 2, 2006
I apologise in advance for my newbish question - I'm very green at Access. I'm trying to build a contact database for our company that lists Jobs done by customer.
I'll confess I "borrowed" the sample database provided with Access to help me out - which has worked well up until this issue.
The problem I am having is when I am working on our "Client Service History" form. (Basically the Workorders by Customer from the template - I can take a screen grab or something if it helps).
This form includes a sub-table which lists the WorkOrder ID by customer, the Date Entered, the Job Type, the Engineer and whether it was chargeable. The latter three options are choices controlled by combo boxes from the Workorders Form/Table. Where the status for "Chargeable" always comes up correctly, the Job Type and Engineer always show a number - which I presume is the ID of the label of each type - I.e. "5" refers to "Warranty Repair".
There are separate Data Tables for Engineers (EmployeeID) and Job Types (JobTypes). How do I get it to display each item correctly; as a summary of jobs done for each customer?
Any help would be particularly appreciated!!! :D

I've created a "table" with all my cases which includes date, hospital, surgeon, etc. The hospital and surgeon column have always shown the actual name in text (dropdown) and now all of a sudden, it's just showing the ID only. Now when I go to add a new case, I have to know the number instead of the dropdown just working and being able to select a hospital name, etc. I'm not sure how to get it back to showing the actual name instead of the id number associated with it.

From a info sheet on RTB Using the Add, Clear, and Remove methods, you can dynamically populate the control with embedded objects at run time. Can those 'embedded objects' be controls, e.g. list boxes, labels etc ?

I have a form with a calculated time difference between a "Start" and "Stop" time I have managed to get the correct formula however I would like to display this value in a more civilized forma as HH:MM on the example attached I have some values that appear as 4:8 and it should be 04:08.
The second problem is I need to embed this calculated value on my tblTime as doing so I can run more easily some queries.

I am learning access on my own using MS Press step by step manual and it tells me to hold down the shift key while selecting the text boxes that are next to the labels, but when I do the labels get selected also . how do I disconnect the labels from the text boxes in order to insert space between the labels and the text boxes as it intructs me to in the book. I am able to select the labels separately, but it will not allow the text to be selected separately.

I have a problem with the connection between the labels and fields in designing my form.Is there a command do eliminate the association between the two? If not I was thinking if there is a problem to delete the labels and make new ones but by doing this Access (2010) says the label is unassociated.

Ok, i have tried and searched but could not find a good start to a solution for my problem.
I have a calendar form, which shows the dates and under it text labels.
Now whenever something is present in my table (tblKalender) on those dates, i want it to show in the text labels under the correct date.
Now, i have the results through a query, but i dont want to link the query to the form. Only thing that i have trouble with now is getting the information i need to show to those labels. I have written some code (early stages) which i want to show me the results for testing, later on i can fill the fields. I keep getting an error saying not enough parameters, expected is 1.
Can anybody take a look at the code or help me with this?
My query for day one is called qerKal1 and the fields i need to get back are the hour and the task. The query gets it's criteria from the label above that day (lbDag1), which shows the date.
I have this code in a module and when the form is opened it runs the fucntion.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Const strSQLWhere1 As String = "" & _
"SELECT qerKal1.Uur, qerkal1.Taak, qerKal1.Datum " & _
"FROM qerKal1 " & _
"WHERE (((qerKal1.Datum) = [Forms]![frmKalender]![lbDag1].[Caption]));"
Public Function fFillDay1()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strText As String
Dim strText2 As String
strSQL = strSQLWhere1
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenForwardOnly)
Do Until rs.EOF
If strText = "" Then
strText = rs!Uur
strText2 = rs!Taak
Else
strText = strText & ", " & rs!Uur
strText2 = strText & "," & rs!Taak
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
rs.Close
MsgBox strText & strText2
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Function

Hi all,
title says it all!
I've got a form with numerous controls and labels. When i first open the form, all looks fine - all labels are Black Arial 8 Bold. But when i start scrolling through the records, the text on three of my text labels gets bolder. I haven't a clue what is causing this - the labels are just standard - two are associated with controls and one is all on its own.
I have no code written to do this, and in fact i'm not sure you could write code to do this. I've tried renaming the labels, changing the font, deleting and recreating them, but it's always the same three that get darker.
Ideas?
P.

I have always noticed that when creating a report, when you make a paragraph using a label, the alignment and size of the text/paragraph is always different when you preview the report than when you design it.
This makes alignment of paragraphs tricky, especially when you are trying to insert a bold faced word into the middle of a block of text by using a separate label.
I am using Access 2000

I have a report that prints labels (similar to avery labels) which pulls data from a query. These labels are all unique and vary in length. Due to the length variance, I want the font size to get smaller for labels with more characters. I want the text to go down to another line when necessary.
In my report under the OnPage Event Procedure I wrote this:
Private Sub Report_Page()
If Len(Text2) > 20 Then Text2.FontSize = 8
If Len(Text2) > 10 And Len(Text2) < 21 Then Text2.FontSize = 10
If Len(Text2) < 11 Then Text2.FontSize = 14
End Sub
This works to some degree but the problem is that once there is a longer label, all of the proceeding labels are resized & the longer label that should have been resized was not.
Is there another place I should be writing this code? I looked under events for the textbox but there doesn't seem to be anything that would work since none of them would trigger when printing labels

I have a report that is based on a query I have made. It currently shows the values as kept in the table. It is for a MAR sheet. Here is how it looks...
Breakfast 0
Lunch 0
Teatime 2
Bedtime 1
I want it to show blank for each 0 that is shown. I have tried an Iif statement to do this but it doesn't seem to work.

I have a table that contains a lot of different information regarding to mailing.
There are columns for Name, Address, Address2, Address 3, City, State, Zip, Country, Base Name, etc.
Some units will only required parts of the above information. I'm using the Name as an identifier in the DB only and Address is the beginning of content that I want to use.
My issue stems out of the fact that the City, State, and Country are not always required but the Base Name, may be used in lieu of the City.
I was looking at making checkboxes next to each of the columns on the form on the field and then using those checkboxes somehow to create a report for Mailing Labels.
I'm just not sure how to set this up.

I have an unbound listbox "Needs", and in the onclick event have the following code which works great if I have more than one item selected, but if I only have one item selected, it does not put it in the text box "ServiceText".
Code:
Private Sub Needs_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo errHandler
Dim ctl As Control
Dim strStart As String, strEnd As String
Dim aryList As String
Dim varSelected As Variant

To cut a long story short, i've got a union query that is a full outer join of 2 tables.
Anyway, the results i have got back needed formatting to no decimal places.
How do i do that?
I've tried leaving it as it is and formatting it in the report, but it still doesn't format and i can't total it up.
It's like it is showing as a text and not number.
Is there a way of converting the result to a number, particularly in a sql query.

Hi,
I have a form that has several text boxes that correspond to a cell in a row. One of the columns contains just numbers 1-300. Now what I need is a combo box that contains the numbers 1-300 and when one of those numbers is selected I need it to import all the information from the same row into the correct text boxes.
For example when the number 3 is selected it will take the row with the number 3 in it, take all of the cells and import them into the right text box.
Thanks a bunch!

I have a report which when I open it by clicking the button in the form shows what looks like Chinese text in the memo field. To open the report the following is in the event properties for the referencing button
Code:
Private Sub cmdPrintSumReg_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits.
Me.Dirty = False
[Code] ...
When I open the same report from the reports menu on the left of the database it is just fine. But obviously it is showing information for all contracts and not the any one contract.
I haven't changed anything in the table that contains the memo field and this only started happening yesterday afternoon after using this db for over a year.
I found an earlier post in this forum with a similar problem but the only difference I see is that the user changed the field from a text to a memo. I haven't.

I have a people table; Ethnicity Table; Program Type Table; Attendance Table.
I enter the people into the people table then enter people into the attendance table with lookup for name from the people table and a lookup for program type from program type table and enter date attended. I then run a query on the attendance table to remove duplicates. I created a form from the attendance query there are 3 headers Program, Ethnicity, Name. but the program type comes up as the ID number and not the text name.
The Ethnicity did the same thing but when I added the Ethnicity from the people table to the ethnicity header it show up as the name and I hide the box with the number but when I add the program type from the program type table to the program header is changes the source of the report to the program type table and then nothing shows up. It did not do that when I added the ethnicity type from the ethnicity table to the ethnicity header.

I am using a cartesian query to create multiple copies of a record to use for printing labels.
Here's my query that produces the cartesian result:
SELECT tblCount.CountID, tblDeliveryOrders.DeliveryOrderNum, CurrentCY.Deliveryorderlineitemnum, CurrentCY.Quant, CurrentCY.UOM1, tblContainerSizeCodes.SizeCode, tblContainerTypeCodes.TypeCode, CurrentCY.WasteDescription, tblEtidDodaac.EtidDodaac, CurrentCY.ETIDDocNum, CurrentCY.Pounds, tblEPAWasteCodes.[EPAWasteCodes(1B)]
[Code] ....
This works just fine in creating the desired result - EXCEPT I don't get all the records.
When I remove the 'cartesian table', and right join everything, then I get the correct results. If I keep everything as-is and reintroduce the cartesian table, then I get an error about there being an ambiguous outer join.

I have an Access 2010 database with a memo field formatted for Rich Text.
I created a simple form. It accepts and shows paragraphs, i.e. I press Return and a new paragraph appears (with a blank line in between paragraphs).
I then created a report based on the same fields. In the memo field it shows the text entered in the form, but not the paragraph breaks. It just shows one big block of text without any paragraph breaks. I have looked for a field property in the report design and layout views that might affect how the text is displayed in the report but I cannot find one.
It is not much use if you can input paragraph breaks in a form but not see them in a report.

I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".

When I have a 3rd table looking at the row source of the 2nd table, which is looking at the row source of the 1st table. I only get numbers.
Everything I have read so far points to using a query as a solution. However, the query I made is not updating the information from the 2nd table.
I have attached a few examples.
Attachment 6247
this below shows. I changed "Bakersfield-test1" in the original table. However, the query I made does not update, still showing "Bakersfield-test". When you click on the drop down, it shows the updated "Bakersfield-test1", but it does not repopulate my column with the updated info from the table.
