I have a minor but irritating problem with a small database I have created. When my main menu loads up it keeps flashing until all the data has been displayed (its looks up the user name and version number from tables and also displays the date). I've traced the source of the problem to the embedded picture (3.9 mb) I have used as the background to the menu form but I really don't want to remove the picture. Is there any way to stop this flashing and keep the background?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2003 professional ans i am wondering if this is possible.
I have a form that displays a Log of events from a database, and what i want is :- if a certain condition is met (something very overdue) I want that entry to flash (red if possible). I'm not bothered if its the Text that flashed or the text box. But I need it to stand out like a sore thumb.
Can this be done, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance

Would be greatful for any assistance.

I made a form for a table which contains client questionnaire responses, "Dec4Docs". I wanted to include the names of these clients in the form, just to make everything easier for whoever is doing data entry, but client names are in a different table, "BasicInformation". Both the questionnaire table and the client information table use a common ID number, "WISnum". I found a number of online tutorials which instructed me to use the DLookUp function for what I'm doing.This site here, for example, suggests the following formula:
=DLookup("CustomerID", "Orders", "OrderID = " & Forms![Orders]!OrderID)
Which I adapted to:
=DLookUp("FirstName","BasicInformation","WISnum=" & [Forms]![Dec4DocsForm]![WISnumField])
^This was meant to find FirstName in the BasicInformation table where WISnum is equal to the WisnumField of the Dec4DocsForm form. Instead, all I got was a flashing error message that partially broke the program's GUI. I could not find a solution on Google, so I played around for awhile, bug checking by adding and removing things to the formula, until I finally got a little lucky and figured this out:
=DLookUp("FirstName","BasicInformation","WISnum=" & '[Forms]![Dec4DocsForm]![WISnumField]')
Hello everybody,
Could anyone out there please help me with a small coding problem that I am experiencing....
I have a calculated control on my startup form called txtCurrentAge on which I have put VB code in the on-timer event of the form which makes the control 'flash on & off' if the persons age is below 18.
code as follows:
Private Sub Form_Timer()
If Me.txtCurrentAge.Value < 18 Then
Me.txtCurrentAge.Visible = Not Me.txtCurrentAge.Visible
Else
Me.txtCurrentAge.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Everything works fine but when a user inadverently clicked on the control by mistake it caused the following error to be displayed: Runtime error 2165 "you cant hide the control that has the focus". What does this mean and how best could I prevent this from happening again as I cant guarantee that any of my users wont click on it again?? The text box concerned has been made 'visible', has not been 'locked' and is 'enabled'.
'
I find this 'flashing action' to be very useful and would like to keep it on my form....
I have searched on this site and various others but have been unsuccesful....
Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.
P.S I obtained this code via databasedev.co.uk and adapted it to suit my particular DB.
Best Regards
