Flickering Text Boxes
Jul 6, 2006
Hello... again...
I'm having a problem with what looks like a form refresh.
My form has a single drop down box, when that's updated, the whole form is visable and resized etc.
Depending on the criteria in the dropdown box, up to 20 text boxes are updated using a DLookUp.
Everytime something is done (like ticking a checkbox or pressing a button) in the form, the 20 text boxes blink, and it's really... really... REALLY annoying me and my colleagues!
I've tried converting them to labels and using code to update them, but that didn't seem to do the trick.
I could put the info in the query where the form gets its data, but the form is for data entry, which i cannot do with a linked query.
Any help or suggestions would be superb!

I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.

I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts
2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators
3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports
5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource
8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry
9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory
10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators
11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators
12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
SELECT AircraftOperators.RegistrationNumber, AircraftOperators.PassengersNumber, AircraftOperators.ManufactureYear, AircraftOperators.EmailToOperator, AircraftOperators.ExteriorPhoto, AircraftOperators.InteriorPhoto, tblListOfAircraftOperators.OpratorName, tblAircrafts.AircraftType
FROM tblAircrafts INNER JOIN (tblAirports INNER JOIN (AircraftOperators INNER JOIN tblListOfAircraftOperators ON AircraftOperators.CompanyName =
[code]....

there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.

I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
Thanks,
Lester

Another quick request:
What would the code be for a button which clears the contents of a text box or a combo box on a form?
Many thanks,
Paul.

Has anyone ever experienced the same problem?
Thank you,

Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!

I have a form with a check box among other itmes. What I want to happen is, when the user checks the check box, I want the text box to the right of it to be made visible and to let the user write text. But I only want this text box to be visible when the check box is checked. The check box is if the user wish to put a comment in the form, he will click the check box and then I want my text box to appear so that he may write the comment in the text box. Please help with this. Thanks

I have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D

Hi All,
I am learning heaps and constantly wrestling with access, this is a good thing. However at the moment i recently added tabs to my form to restructure the appearance and content and thus far i am happy and its working fine. Except that moving the mouse cursor accross the from causes controls and textboxes to flicker / refresh. I find this annoying and given all the effort going into the presentation of the application i have done.
Is there anyway to eleviate this, is there something i have done wrong perhaps.
I wish to host various controls and inputs from other tables on the other tabs. Will this complicate things or should 1 form with its Tab controls be particular to 1 table........ or can / should a form serve as an input or display to several tables? Is this a bad database practice?
thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.

I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.

I have a form on which there is a series of text box controls relating to different frequencies. At the moment I enter a value in to each of these manually.
However, I would like to have an unbound text box where I can paste in all the values (6 or 8 of them) from excel and then press a button and they would be copied in to the individual boxes.
So far I have my design:
I'm not sure where to start with regard to the code as I don't know how to handle delimited text - is it column delimited in excel?
I imagine some sort of loop, such as a do until will be required but again not sure.

Is it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.

Is there a way to stop the controls from flickering when the timerevent fires?
What doesn't work:
Code:
Application.Echo False
Docmd.Echo False
TimerEvent on the current form
TimerEvent on a different form
Using Windows API:
Code:
Private Declare Function SetTimer Lib "user32" etc
Private Declare Function KillTimer Lib "user32" etc
Each of these events flicker the controls on my forms. The effect is worse when the form background contains a picture.

I have a form with two text boxes and a button. I want to be able to type a value into the first Text box click the button and the second text box to be filled with the value which is stored in the Table.
The first Textbox is called barTxt, The second Textbox is called CustTxt The button is called SearchBtn and the Table is called BookInTable. I have been trying to use the code.
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click()
DoCmd.FindRecord Me.BarTxt.Value, , True, , True
CustTxt.Value = "SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROM BookInTable " & _
" WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _
" ORDER BY Customer"
End Sub
This however instead of displaying the Value for customer which is stored in the BookInTable. Displays The code SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROMBookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer"

I have two applications that I am developing,
App1 = Standard data collection form with numberous text boxes, drop downs etc
App2 = Access database that I set up to read the NMEA String coming from a GPS Unit. I then parse it up and write the values to variables.
What I want to do is combine the two apps. I created another database and brought both into the same form (although that are still working independently). And Yes they are workign fine. Now I want to bridge the two.
Right now I click a button and the XY Coordinates from the GPS populate 2 text boxes from App2. I need them to populate 2 text boxes from App1, which will then update the database. I can do this by settign the Control Source of App1's text boxes to the App2 text box. When I click the value is passed to App1's text boxes....Great that works...BUT
But now the App1's Text Boxes Control Source is not pointing to the Fields in the table so it WILL NOT Update that value.
Is there a way to keep the App1 text box Control Source pointing to the FIELD in the table and push the value of the App2 text box into the Text box of App1 without changing the control source
That make any sense?

Lets say I have a form called form1 with 2 subforms named subform1 & subform2.
Can I place a text box on form1 that totals fields located on subform1 & subform2?
This is what I currently have as an expression in the text box. It is in the before update event, which may be the problem. Any ideas or solutions are much appreciated. :)
=[subform1].Form!field1+[subform2].Form!field1
