Form Popup Size
Feb 23, 2005Hi
All my popup forms come up at the wrong size. I have popup = yes, modal = yes, border = dialogue box settings. I have tried this with both autoresize on and off. One form comes up to small and one comes up to big. I've tried changing the size of the form in design mode, but this has no effect.
Could someone please help me pls?
Thanks.
Forms :: Size Of Modal Popup Form
Aug 27, 2014I am having issues with a split form which modal and emergent (pop-up) properties are set to yes. When I open it, it is maximized or out of the size I had setup; although I saved it trying to "freeze" the height and width.
View 11 Replies View RelatedLarge Field Size = Larger Overall Database Size?
Aug 29, 2005Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

How To Force A One-to-many Relationship
Sep 23, 2005I am using Access 2003.
Access front end, sybase backend. I am building the queries in the design mode in Access.
Here is my question...
I am looking for a way to force a one-to-many relationship between two tables. I am connecting the primary key in table1 to a field (foreign key) in table 2. But it keeps going to one-to-one.
It should be doing one-to-many (the "1" and the "8"-sideways infinity symbol).
What am i doing wrong? Please help.
Nz Or IIf(is Null) To Force A Certain Value?
Jun 13, 2007I have a query in Access 2000 that I can't get to force a certain value in empty rows for a particular field column - maybe someone here can see why?
The SQL for the query is as follows (give or take some)...:
TRANSFORM Count([Testing DB].[DB_ID]) AS [CountOfDB_ID]
SELECT [Testing DB].State, [Location].[North], Count([Testing DB].[DB_ID]) AS [Total Of DB_ID]
FROM [Testing DB] LEFT JOIN [Location] ON [Testing DB].[Address] = [Location].Address
WHERE ((([Location].[Size])=Nz([Size],"Big")) AND (([Testing DB].[Window Length]) Is Not Null)
GROUP BY [Testing DB].State, [Location].[Size]
ORDER BY [Testing DB].State, [Location].[Size]
PIVOT Format([Date],"mmm-yyyy");
I want my crosstab to end up so that any records in the "Size" column that are not matched between the two tables, and therefore come up empty for those rows in the query results, are forced to change from empty to "Big" - so that they can be added into the count of "Big" hits that the query ends up with in the "Size" column. But all my "nz" addition did was remove the columns with blank values from the crosstab - no addition to the "Big" counts.
Am I perhaps going about this incorrectly? Maybe I should have used some form of iif(is null) instead.:confused: Any help is, as always, much appreciated.

Force ROW Heading In A Crosstab
Dec 7, 2005Being an amateur at Access, I've only recently realized that you can force column headings for crosstab queries, by typing those headings into the properties of the field selected as the column. But can you do the same for ROWS?
My data concerns patients of a specific type and the times of day they show up at our A&E (ER). I've grouped these by hour and now I want to crosstab them by day of week. But if there aren't any between say 3am and 5am, those hours don't show in the query, which is screwing up a pre-formatted report I have.
I've found some assistance on other threads.....

Random Autonumber Force Positive Only
Apr 1, 2007I don't know if it's possible, but is there any way of forcing the random autonumber generator in tables to be a positive number only?
The autonumber as I've searched on the forum can be a positive or negative number and I'd like to use the random autonumber feature as a primary key for account numbers for my database, but not using the negative numbers as they will look like odd account numbers with the leading negative.
I could possibly remove the leading negative, but there's then the chance that you'll have duplicates.
Thank you!
Force Cursor To Start Of Text Box?
May 6, 2005Is it possible to force the cursor to move to the start of a text box when it gets the focus? (I suppose what I am really asking here is, is it possible to force a 'Home' key event?)
There is a text entry box, which when people put the cursor into it, it sometimes sits part the way in, consequently the operator could end up trying to type in more information than there is available space. I know that education might go along way here, but you just can't teach some people.

How To Trap An Error (and Force A Choice)?
Dec 1, 2005How do I programmatically force an error dialog to make a certain choice?
I'm able to trap the dialog via the following code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
If DataErr = 7787 Then 'record updated by another "user" (subform)
MsgBox "Error trapped!"
Response = acDataErrContinue
Else
Response = acDataErrDisplay
End If
End Sub
Problem is, if I bypass the 7787 error in this manner, it defaults to dropping the changes, rather than saving the record, which is what I want. (Both are choices on the dialog.)
Any help would be most appreciated.
How To Force Someone To Use A Value In Listbox In Datasheet View?
Sep 22, 2006This question seems so simple, I feel like the answer is right in front of me. However, I have no idea how to solve this problem.
Essentially, I have a field in a table (or data entry form in datasheet view) that looks up values from a different table. I want the user to only be able to use one of those values, not type in whatever he wants. How do I accomplish this?
Forms :: Force Value In Unbound Combo Box?
Mar 26, 2013Ive got a database with a combo box, called "combo1" (with 2 columns). It is unbound but uses a query as its row source. When i select a value in combo1 is places the data from combo1.column(1) into a textbox (text1). I then click the next record button (button1) and it then keeps the same value in combo1 because it is unbound. So i need it that when i go to the next record it displays the value in combo1 that relates to text1.
View 2 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: How To Force Windows Task Bar To Always Be On Top
Apr 14, 2014I write Access 2010 apps in VBA that require no knowledge of Microsoft Access on the part of the user. My forms contain all the necessary controls to use the program without relying on any of the Microsoft Access toolbars. I call this "de-Microsofting" the app. When I prepare the .accdb program to create a .accde app, I uncheck every checkbox (Options/Current Database) except "Compact on Close". This works well, but it also hides the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Some of my users need to be able to jump from my app to others (e.g., Excel) and back without having to exit my app. How can I force the Windows taxkbar to always be on top using VBA or, possibly, some setting?

Feb 12, 2013Access 2010 - In datasheet view, some of my yes/no fields display according to the format set in design view (yes/no, true/false, etc., or -1/0 if no format specified). But a few fields that I have added since originally creating the table show up as check boxes.

Force Entry Of Certain Characters In Text Field?

I'm already using a mask of >LL000000 to force two capital letter and 6 numbers.

Force Update Into Unbounded Comments Field
Oct 24, 2005Hopefully there's someone who can help me with this!!! I've had several unsuccesfull attempts and don't know what else to try...
We're trying to force users to make entries in a field called txtComments in the frmQuestionnaire form if they provide negative responses and to stay on that record until the comments are changed. Inside the form is an option group (fraResponses) which contains options (OptA, OptB..etc.) valued from 1 through 7, based on a likert 7 scale. We're only using a likert 6 scale, so the respondents will only see 2-7 on the form. If they options B-D (valued 2-4), they are considered negative, so we want to make sure they enter a comment.
I tried to enter the italicized code under the form on BeforeUpdate, AfterUpdate, CmdUp (click to next question) and CmdDown (click to previous question), with frmQuestionnaire but nothing happens:
There is a module called clsUser which contains the following and where I tried to insert the code:
Set myForm = Forms!frmQuestionnaire
' ================================================== ==
' First, set the value of the variables
' ================================================== ==
lngQuestion = arrQ(lngArray, 0)
lngSession = GetCustomInfo("TestSession")
lngUser = UserID
lngBillet = BilletID
strComment = Nz(myForm.txtComment, "")
strComment = "None"
'If user selects negative responses
If Form_frmQuestionnaire.fraResponses.OptionValue = 2 Or 3 Or 4 And strComment = "None" Then
MsgBox "Please explain the problems you encountered with the system which " & _
"caused you to select an unfavorable response."
Form_frmQuestionnaire.txtComment.SetFocus
End If
lngResponse = myForm.fraResponses
When I place the code there, the dialog box appears for all values and goes to the next record. This is what appears for the CmdUp (click to next question):
If cUser.blnDirty = False And Me.fraResponses = 153 (this is default value for the entire option group) And cUser.blnNew = True Then
cUser.blnDirty = True
End If
cUser.CaptureAnswer
If cUser.lngArray < cUser.UBound_ArrQ() Then
cUser.lngArray = cUser.lngArray + 1
Else
cUser.lngArray = cUser.UBound_ArrQ()
End If
cUser.FillQuestions
cUser.blnDirty = False
I've tried to enter the line of code with the form and the module, but no luck.
I also want it to remain on the same record until the field is changed. The form is unbound and has the following:
Public Sub FillQuestions()

Choose Account On Force Email From Form
Jan 4, 2008I have a form that has a bunch of check boxes on it.
The user selects specific check boxes
My code then has a few If then statements to test which ones were selected.
With each one that is selected a query is run to select specific records in a table. (querying out the values from an email field)
The user then hits a button to send the email.
Microsoft Outlook opens and the emails list is added to the "To" in the email.
Everything works great...But I have a slight issue. If a user has permissions on more than one account when they go to send an email they have the ability to choose a "From" (thus specifying which account to send from)
The user can currently select which one they want but I want this to be more automatic.
CAN i specify which account to send from automatically when the email opens. BUT Just for this application...
Does that Make any sense?
