Enter Text As Bullet Points In A Textbox? Possible?
Apr 26, 2006
I have a textbox called txtcomments on my form. It is bound to a table field defined as Memo. Now i normally would enter text and produce a report from the comments in my table.
I want to be able to enter text like this in my form, so that my report can be formatted like this: All in one textbox (memo table field).
Like this:
*************in my txtbox************************

My form has a Memo field that stores "To Do" descriptions. My user wants to be able to add bullet points next to their entries. There could be multiple To Do's in a single field.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a form that has a textbox in it. I enter text into the text box by scanning a bar code. I then use openreport.cmd to pass the variable in the text box to the report I generate. The report then has a button that when clicked references the variable that I passed to it.
Essentially the problem I am having is that when I set the textbox back to blank, it also erases the contents of the new variable created. I want to either delete the value from the textbox upon scanning the bar code each time, or highlight the value in the textbox for it to be deleted upon the first key stroke. I had read about setting focus to the textbox, but I have been unable to get that to work. Here is my current code for what I am doing.
Code in the form:
stPartNum = Me.ScannerTxt
Label = stPartNum
DoCmd.OpenReport "RptLabels", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal, stPartNum
Code in report button:
partnum = Me.OpenArgs

Made an access data base for our company policies and procedures.
Fields are:
Section
Section Title
Policy
Explanation
Related Documents - (hyperlink field)
Running a query on the table for the report the delivers the policy.
the Section Field is Rich Text - this is the only way I can figure out how to display decimal point divisions like, 1.1.0, or 6.5.3 (for relevant sections).
Query won't return anything when I set a parameter on Section Feild and I suspect it's because of the Rich Text issue. I've tried smart tag but no avail.
And the next thing I want to do is have an index that gives me Section and Section Title with a go to. How best to achieve that???

I have a Table with a Field set to Number, Single, Fixed, 2 Decimal points in which I enter Hours (ie 11.25) then at some point I want to extract those new entries to create a Text file transfer.
I have a Macro which extracts those new entries from the main Table and copies/appends them to a new Table which contains only the new data I need to create the File to upload into a Payroll system (using TransferText option).
It all works well EXCEPT, the File it creates insists on showing 8 decimal points and I just cannot get it to show 2 only.I have tried using a calculated field, setting the secondary Table field to Text.why or where these 8 decimals are coming from.

I have a textbox and a command button by this textbox that performs an action based on the value in this textbox when clicked.
I want to be able to press the enter key after entry into the textbox and have it perform the same thing the command button does.
I tried Calling the commndbutton procedure from the OnEnter event from of textbox, but it tries to process as soon as i "start entering data into the textbox".
I hope i am clear? How do i achieve this, so that by pressing the enter key after entering a value in my textbox, my textbox value is processed, instead of clicking the command button.
This is just to enhance usability. Any help will be mucho appreciatied :D

Any way (VBA script, etc) to make it mandatory for a user to enter data in a textboxes in a form before proceeding to the next record on a form? I know I am able to do this in the table by selecting the value "Yes" in the Required area in the General Tab but I was wondering if there is a VBA script you can enter it in a form instead.
On attachment is an Access Database in winzip. In the __Property form, I want to make it madatory for users to enter data in the County Shapefile Gross Acres, Township, Mineral Severance Tract, and Unit name fields before proceeding to a new record. If data is not entered in these textboxes for these field, then a person will not be allowed to go to the next record.

I use Access as my grading program at school. Right now, if I want to excuse a student for an assignment, I delete that record.
What I would like to do is put an "X" or some other string into a field that is numeric and Access would ignore that score when computing the average.
A longshot, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks.

I have this database which has a comments field which often gets the same text added into it depending on what is in it. what I am trying to do is something similar to signiatures in outlook express.
What the end user wants to do is select from a dropdown box what text they want to add to the field and hit a button and it will insert it into the memo (comments) field in the form without overwriting any of the text they have in there already, they might want to just add one of the sentences or several.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about this?

I have a column in a table that only is allowed one value, "Repealed" or simply left blank. I would like to have a checkbox on a form that enters the word "Repealed" or removes it depending on whether it's checked or not, rather than having the user enter the word "Repealed" each time.
Can anyone offer direction as to how to complete this? I've not had much experience with VB code.
Thanks

I am filling in a database using forms, and I would like to be able to add standard values to any field using a macro/VBA code I don't want to set up a different macro for each field though - I have around 40 different fields (to elaborate, it's a mark database for student projects, each field is a different thing I am commenting on. I want to quickly add 'Missing' or 'Good' to a field - but I also want the option of free text instead.).can't figure how to do it in MS Access.

I have a report and within the report I have added some text boxes with some simple logic such as sum, count, etc. These text boxes function well as long as the logic is referencing existing fields. The minute I try to have a text box reference another text box I get the "Enter Parameter Value" box pop up. I don't understand this as the text box I am referencing has a vaule based on what it is referencing.
Example: 1st text box control source =Sum([existingfield]) I get a value.
2nd text box control source =[existingfield2]/[1st text box] I get "Enter Parameter Value" of 1st text box.
