When I insert this code:
Private Sub Phone_Click()
Me.Phone.SelStart = 0
End Sub
Access will no longer make an MDE file. I was trying to make it so when the Phone field was clicked in the focus would be at the beginning of the field.
If I remove these lines, an MDE is possible again. I have tried it at the beginning and at the end. Any thoughts?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.

Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
-How can I address the fields on my forms? I just want to create a button that increases a value by one on click.I tried
FORMNAME.FIELDNAME = FORMNAME.FIELDNAME + 1
FIELDNAME = FIELDNAME + 1
FORMNAME!FIELDNAME = FORNAME!FIELDNAME + 1
but the button does nothing. And that is all I found by googling.
-How to focus a field at the beginning? I want to be able to start writing always in the same field.
FIELDNAME.SetFocus
does not work. I dont know if I made any mistake during creating tables and forms, but these codes should actually work, shouldnt they?
I moved the Address field from third postion to first position, so that clicking on a list box places the address from the List Box into the Address field. I adjusted the bound and source boxes and it works perfectly. The cursor now points to the Last Name field (second position, which it did originaly.) I would like the cursor to point to the Address field so as not to confuse the operator. How can this be accomplished? I am sure the correct Event code will do the tick.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a form (Home_Interview_Form) with several subforms (AirFresheners, Pesticides1 etc), and I would like the cursor to move from the last field in one subform to the first field in the next subform on keydown. I have written the following code, but instead of sending the cursor to the first field (PestSpray) it is going to the next field (PestSprayCom) in the subform for some reason. I am using Access 2013.

I am new to Access and to the forum. I made a check printing system
table name = 'burgan'
form name = 'burgan cheque'
Fields = 'PV' and 'cheque' and 'Beneficiary'
I have inserted a button (Command31).The function I would like to add on clicking the button
1. it should chose the highest value in both fields (PV and cheque)
2. Create new record
3. Increment it by 1 (both fields 'PV' and 'cheque')
4. the focus should stand on 'Beneficiary' field.
How do you set the focus on the first field in a modal form when it opens?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have added an OLE WordPad object to a form. However, when I use the form, I cannot select/give the object focus to activate it. Even if I right click the object, it give me the correct popup menu. :confused:
I am using this object as I am having troubles with Memo fields. I use a form to update records, one field of which must be greater than 255 characters long. When I press my update button (it just runs some code to turn off warnings, run two simple update queries and the turn the warnings back on) the update process seems to complete. However, if I go to the table/refresh the form contents, only the first 512 characters are displayed and the last few are strange system characters.:confused: This occurs no matter what I do. I was tole that copy/paste operations can mess memo fields up, but I tested this by using a fresh field and typing everything in. Hence I am now trying the OLE object to get around this problem. :confused:
Any ideas peeps??
Cheers,
Matt
Right I have Windows 7 Ultimate because I am learning Russian and I have created an English Russian dictionary.
Now using Ultimate to go between English Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet you have to press ALT + SHIFT.
Its awkward and it often doesn't register first time.
Certain fields in my database use the latin alphabet while other fields use the cyrillic alphabet.
Is there a way that on focus of a field I can get the keyboard mapping to ensure that it is correct either English or Cyrillics?
I posted this in the wrong thread yesterday
I just started learning Access and I have created a database with 53 records, 3 tables and 1 Split form. I creared a new yes/no field and I am attempting to display "Completed" in green for yes and "Not Completed" in red for no. I used the correct code in the format field:
"Not Completed "[Red];" Completed "[Green]
This worked for different field before I created the split form but now I cannot get the new field to display anything but check boxes regardless of what code I use. It won't even let me use the default yes/no, true/false or on/off options.
I've been studying this for about 2 weeks and I've figured out quite a bit but this one thing is really iritating me....
Help
Any comments would be appreciated

I have a field that is in text format that is used as a discussion box. This limits the user to 250 characters because of Access limitations. I have tried the memo format but that will not allow me to query off of that field. How can I have this discussion field with unlimited text capability and also be able to query off of it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I previously used an older Access version under XP, but I switched to Windows 7 (64-bit) and Access V10. In general, most everything appears to work as expected, but I can't be sure because I have not gotten past the "previously simple" task of making a simple label !!!!
When I construct a LABEL layout, if I use ONLY one field per line, everything appears to work OK.When I put MORE than one field per line, the additional lines are "accepted", but when I click "finished" to preview the finished labels, I get an #error on every line that has more than one field, but the lines with only one field print out as expected.If I then go into the DESIGN mode, each line with more than one field displays:
=Trim([field-x] & " " & [field-z]), where the " " is related to the space I place between field-x and field-z.
During this process I also get a box with the message "Enter Parameter Value", and below that is the text, "Trim", with a box in which to insert some kind of "parameter". I have absolutely no clew what to put into the "box", and no where in the 812 page, "The Missing Manual" is the question answered.I have wasted approximately five hours trying to solve this issue, including google searches for potential answers, some of which seem reasonable, but do not work when implemented. At this point I am ready to trash ACCESS and move on to some other process.
I have a form where I would like one of two fields mandatory to fill.I have an encryption password field and a pen drive password field. I would it so when the user tries to close the form, one of these two fields has to be filled in.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been doing some reading on multivalue fields and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. My question: Is there a way to use the multivalue field without making it a lookup? I need the user to be able to put multiple values in a field but can't limit them to a list. The field that needs multiple values happens to be for SKU numbers from a large department store franchise.
One work around I've come up with is to have a pop up that asks for the separate sku numbers so they can be used for the value list each time, but then the user also would have to select those from the value list in order to enter it.... too many end user steps.
I want to avoid making 10-15 different fields each for SKU number, Item, and cost... I also need to avoid having to populate my db with the department store's full list of products...
I have a subForm set to continuous forms. I need a field called txtStatusDetails required (cannot be null) if the field txtDutyStatus = "Not Available"
