Request from the higher ups to have several expandable sections in a form. Ideally only the title of the section would show, like when using a DAP, then the user could click and expand out the section and enter data. I tried the Tab option, but they are set on an expansion section.
Any tips on how to make this happen?
I have a form that I want to expand to show more fields depending on whether a user decides to or not.
Basically there will be 5 fields that a user always completes for this form, however depending on whether they answer yes or no on the final field I want it to expand the form and have some further fields that need completing.
If they select yes it should expand, if they select no then the form is complete.
What are some possible ways of achieving this?
Hi there,
I'm trying to do a new membership database for a local group who take monetary subscriptions.
Basically, there's a form for creating a new member, with a few tabs - Contact Info, Payment Info, and one other.
Basically, in the payment tab, i've got a dropo down box to select the individual package from a packages table, another to select the payment term (Monthly, Annually), and a final one to select the payment method.
Now in there i've got a list of possible payment methods: Cash, Cheque, Credit/Debit Card, Direct Debit.
Now obviouslly, each payment method is going to have different requirememnts for what info the club actually needs. Cash simply needs amount of payment and date of payment. Cheque needs payment amount, payment date, cheque details. Card is obviously going to need the CC number, Valid & Expiry Date, Card Type, CCV Number, etc.
So basically, i want to be able to have the relevant section display when that payment method is selected from the Payment Method drop-down box.
What's the easiet way of doing this? Could i create another tab-set inside the payment tab, and then only display the one tab relevant to the selected method?
Cheers

Any way I can add more sections to my form? For example right now I have a section named "Header", "Detail" and "Footer". Can I add my own?

I have a continuous form that shows the main fields in my table. In the page footer of the form I have a tab control that has 4 additional fields for each record. I want to give the user the option of “Show Details”. When the user clicks on “show details” I want to move the tab control with the additional fields to the detail row so the user can see them.
I know how to move controls with VBA by setting the Top and Left properties and how to expand the detail size, but how do I move controls from one section on the form to another section on the form i.e. from the page footer to the detail section
I have a continuous form that shows the results from a query like:
Red
Red
Red
Green
Green
Green
Yellow
Yellow
And I wanted to know if I can some how highlight in a white/yellow alternating color like for instance starting with the three reds being white then the three greens being yellow then the two yellows being white and so on. Maybe through conditional format?

Hello,
I have not used access that much, but what I am looking to do is basically have 2 details sections within a report that will have different records in them.
I first used a subreport but that really did not work as intended. It left large gaps in between the records and just plain didnt work.
Here is a image of what I am trying to achieve:
hxxp://img379.imageshack.us/img379/9471/accesshelpnx9.gif
As you can see theres two different sections. One is for regular campaigns and one is for extended campains. There is a field in the table that has the extended date. For the compaigns that field should be blank or null and for the extended campaigns it is not blank or null.
Is there anyway to achieve this in Access 2003, if so can you tell me or describe me the steps?
Thank you!
Is this possible? How?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm curious if anyone know's a way to access a specific data section on a tabular form. I'm attempting to have each section update a specific data item based on its position on the form, but am having problems since I do not know how to differentiate between one details section and another on the form. Any help would be appreciated.

I have many reports that are structured differently, many are grouped by semester.
What I do now, is put a button on each grouping of the report I want to email from and use the current semester (Sem) which is also a query parameter to filter the report.
Here is my current code which works fine:
Sub EmailFromReport(rpt As Report, Optional Sem As Variant)
Dim db As Database
Dim qry As QueryDef
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim Bcc As String
Dim Subject As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qry = CurrentDb.QueryDefs(rpt.RecordSource)
'set query parameters
[code]....
The problem is, I need to be able to filter these queries on other criteria besides the semester.
My first idea was to use if statements to skip the records I don't want. This is messy and the report structures are different so I run into issues when using optional parameters because not all the reports are structured the same.
The best solution I have come up with so far is using a wherefilter parameter, stripping the semi colon off the querydef sql and surrounding the sql with a qrydef.SQL = "SELECT Email1, Email2 FROM (" qrydef.SQL ") WHERE " & wherefilter.
The problem is this, changes the original query, and I can't figure out how to copy a query with db.CreateQueryDef If i do db.CreateQueryDef("tempqry",qrydefSQL), I lose the query parameters.
Is there a better way to do this? If this is the best way, how do you take an existing query and make a copy of it?
I have quite a limited knowledge of MS Access (2007).
My question is; How do you use sections of one table in other tables?
For example: In tbl_One I input a users Name and Age and then say Weight, Height, BMI, etc.
Then in tbl_Two it uses the same Name and Age in tbl_1 but has other information such as Job, Skills etc.
This is not my actual database, however this analogy works, and they must be in separate tables, even though above they could all just be in a single table.
I have a database with a list of clients. One field is for their date of birth.
I have to report on equality and need to know how many clients we have within the following age groups:
16 - 24
25 - 34
35 - 44
45 - 54
55 - 64
65+
I have looked through the group and sort functions and cannot see anything obvious.
Hi,
I need to create a report for each employee in my company of all compensation information. The report is going to need to have multiple detail sections on the report for example to list all benefits specific to the employee and all beneficiaries.
I tried using a subreport to produce those detail sections that I needed but once I placed this subreport inside a box on the main report each detail I created increased the size of the box. I also thought about making the detail section a list box and writing all of the information there. Would there be a better or easy way to accomplish this?
I am also thinking I am going to have to save all of this information in a table and based the report on that table?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

i have a production database application in which there are many sections. every section's product stock is generated by running a complex query.
now when i want to add the result from different sections into a one combined stock , i could not design the query as it become too large and on running it produces the error "cannot open anymore database".
i think reason might be too many queries executing at same time .
so do i need to create a table from the stock queries of each section? and then add the tables to generate the combined stock query ?
I found a post where it shows how to create a single collapsable/expandable section. I am needing to do this for 10 sections with a lot of information in between each section.

Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I am trying to create a user form with sub form using the form wizard. I have only 2 tables, Employee (main table) and Vacation (subform table). I pick the fields from Employee Table then fields fro Vacation, but the wizard treat the Vacation as main form and Employee as sub form.

View 9 Replies View Relatedhow to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.
