Opening A Form Inside A Subform Area
May 4, 2006I have a form (eg. frmMain) with a subform (eg. frmSub).
The subform is going to be a query which displays results based on criteria defined in the main form.
So say frmMain had a field called 'OrderDate'. When they typed an order date, all the orders on that date appear in the subform.
The way I have it set up at the moment is that the query criteria is like [forms]![frmMain]![orderdate]
Do this means that once the order date is entered - there is still no results in the subform because the query has already run when the form was opened and, as this field was then blank, no results were returned.
I would like to keep this setup, but - instead of having the subform set to the query, it would be set to another form which just has a commond button.
The user will then input the OrderDate - click the button (which is in the subform) and the query will run. This can be done easily. HOWEVER, is there a way for the query results to be displayed in that subform area after the button has been clicked instead of opening up a new form.
I know in web design you can target links to frames, so wondered if this was possible?
General :: Set Visible Area In Form View
Jan 17, 2013I'm using access 2010 and have Tabbed Documents enabled as well as Display Document tabs.
When i open a form in design mode, it appears that I have the option of setting the form size parameters by dragging the page boarder horizontally or vertically to grow or shrink the size of the form. When I change view back into form view however, these changes don't appear to be having any effect on the form itself.
My question has two parts:
What am I actually affecting when I adjust the page size in design mode?
Is it possible to set a definitive end to a form in form view without reverting back to the Overlapping Windows setting?

May 21, 2007Sorry if this is inappropriate, but I don't think I've ever seen a post by a mod saying so.
We're working on a project developing an enterprise class solution for the petro-chemical industry. Currently we are building a prototype in Access and are in need of an Access developer to help with it.
If anyone in the Houston area is free and would like 2-4 weeks of work, please let me know. Our need is immediate, and would require that the individual work here at our office in Texas City.
Thanks,

Detail Area Blank
Jul 11, 2005I am a novice to Access so bear with me please. I've just created a form to populate some tables.
When I switch from design view to form view, the detail area in the form view is blank. :mad:
The header is fine but fields, which are present in design view are not present in form view.
Any suggestions, I've tried font/background colors and searching for a switch setting.
Thanks in advance,

End-User Viewable Area
Mar 12, 2004How can I make my forms use the whole viewable screen area no matter what size monitor or resolution the end-user is using? I would also like all objects to be seen in the viewable area without the end-user having to scroll down or to the right. Is this able to be set in the form properties somewhere? I hope I am clear with what I am saying.
Thank You,

Add A New Section / Area For Scheduling
Feb 12, 2015I need to make a random schedule every week. I have a new DB that I have attached and the current one being used that was built by some one else. The reason for building the new one is I could not figure out what to change to add a new section/Area for scheduleing.
What I have are 3 levels of auditors
Level 1 are the basic auditors which I will need 1 per shift per day
Level 2 Are operationl Auditors I will need 2 of the per week
Level 3 are management auditors and I need one of those per week.
When I get these compiled per week I will need to make a report to e-mail out.
I attached both DB's the old one to show what I need, and the new for a more stripped down and easier to update version.

Oct 4, 2005Hi everyone.
I've searched the forum, couldn't find an answer. Is it possible to give each record in a continuous form a different backgroundcolor?
For example:
--------------------------------------------
Record 1 has a light yellow bgcolor
--------------------------------------------
Record 2 has a light blue bgcolor
--------------------------------------------
Record 3 has a light yellow bgcolor
--------------------------------------------
Record 4 has a light blue bgcolor
--------------------------------------------
And so on...
Thanks in advance!

Changing The Color Of An Image In A Form
Jun 9, 2005I have a form which uses a query for entry to the table. One of the fields in the query is a calculated field which shows in the form. The calculated field returns a number from 1 to 5. Rather than showing this number I would like to show a round stoplight that changes color for each number. I have inserted a OLE object OLEunbound235 into the form. The colors I want to use are
icolor = RGB(255, 204, 0) 'Gold
icolor = RGB(192, 192, 192) 'Silver
icolor = RGB(216, 129, 0) 'Bronze
icolor = RGB(255, 255, 0) 'Yellow
icolor = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'Red
and icolor = RGB(255, 255, 255) 'White for any other value.
The text box that returns the calculated number is labeled Text1 and I have hidden this box so it can not be seen. Does anyone know how to write this code that would change the OLE object color automatically so when the user enters data into the form and the return number changes the color of the OLE object changes. I know very little about VBA and I am not sure where to begin or where to even write the code.
:confused:

How To Change Font Color In A Form
May 16, 2014All I want to do is change the font color and weight of a couple of columns in a form. No conditions or change when button is pressed or anything like that. Just be blue and stay blue.

It works fine in the "member details" form, but not the "member list" form.

Access Designer In The Wagga Area (NSW Australia)
Oct 20, 2005Hi all
First off, I hope this post is not inappropriate for this forum!
I'm looking for a designer for access in the Wagga NSW Australia area to help me design a database for our small business.
Some of you may have seen some recent posts by me regarding an invoice database. I was attempting to do this on my own but I now admit defeat. I can't get my head around the basics let alone the difficult stuff so whilst I have made a few DB's myself in the past they were basic, this one is way too complax for my hard head.
I would love to hear from anyone in my area who could help with this on a one on one basis (Hence the need for being close to me)
I am willing to pay for this service & would appreciate if the person understands that I want as much input in the design as possible so I can understand it top to bottom when completed.
Obviously I would like some kind of idea how much this would cost me. Bearing in mind itis tutorial sessions as much as design I am looking for. I would dearly love to be able to do this myself via some TAFE trainning or the like but I simply don't have the time for courses etc as my schedule is very hectic.
Anyways, enough reasons, the gauntlet is down, anyone care to pick it up?
Regards Mik
PS - I would like to thank all those who tried to help this poor wretch but I'm afraid I am a monkey see monkey do kinda guy, much better with one on one.

Reports :: Shading Area Between Two Values In A Chart?
Mar 19, 2014I have show results of scores on a graph but need to show if those scores fall below, in between or above acceptable limits. For example, lets say the acceptable range is between 10.5 and 15.6 but people can scores between 0 and 50. So what I need to do on a report chart/graph is show the actual scores in columns, let access automatically adjust the scale, but have the area between 10.5 and 15.6 on the scale highlighted or coloured or perhaps indicated by two horizontal lines across the chart/graph.
View 5 Replies View RelatedForms :: Command Button Clickable Area?
Mar 14, 2013I have a button placed on a form, but it is only clickable a few pixels along the bottom of the button. If you hover anywhere above this, the button is not clickable and does not highlight as if it is clickable.
I have deleted the offended button and recreated it, but the same strange behavior occurs?
If I move the button up a few pixels or more, then the clickable area shifts to the top of the button and the bottom becomes unclickable.
The buttons are in the header of the form and is completely visible when the form is in normal form view. I also can not see anything that could be sitting ontop of the button (no transparent controls or anything) that could be obscuring it.
Aggregate Error Due To Function In Select Area
Sep 26, 2011Is there some way to do this:
SELECT (sum(d.cartonsshipped)/m.ctnperskid) AS PalletCount, itemnumber, shipdate
FROM orderdata d
inner join itemmaster m
on d.itemnumber = m.itemnumber
GROUP BY d.itemnumber, d.shipdate
HAVING (sum(d.cartonsshipped)/m.ctnperskid) > 0
ORDER BY d.shipdate, d.itemnumber;
and not get the aggregate error (3122). I am guessing it's giving me the error because i try to do a function in the select area.

View 8 Replies View RelatedDatasheet Form How To Change Single Row Color
Jan 14, 2007Hi
I am running Access 97 and I was wondering if it was possible to change the colour(background or text) of a single record based on an attribute
I was hoping that my subform viewing all of the records (datasheet) would look like this based on Task Des column
eg Condition = red, Awaiting = Blue
(Below is ment to look like an access datasheet view)
Property No | Task Des | MCU/ROL
PN1234/DA1 | Condtion | MCU
PN1235/DA2 | Condtion | ROL
PN1994/DA1 | Awaiting | MCU
I have read you can do this quiet easy in access 2007 but was wondering if possible in 97
Thanks heaps for your help
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Telephone Number Search Area Code (STD)
Oct 27, 2013What I am trying to do is i have a list of area codes connected to other data
What I want to do is do a search on a telephone number and this will check against the area codes and diaplay the required info
Example
Area info1 info2
01234 ab cd
012345 ar mc
01235 fg tr
So if I put a number like 01234567890 in the search box the result it will show is 012345 ar mc as this si the closet match to the telephone number.
I did it in excel with
=INDEX(whatwouldbedisplayed,MATCH(searchinfo,rowof data,1))
Im not to sure if this can be done as a query so would it have to be a macro?

Change Background Color Of Form Based On Data
Mar 6, 2008Just wondering... is this possible.
I have a database with 200 clients. If a user pulls up a record and the customer's insurance has expired, is it possible to change the background color of the form so that this automatically alerts the user that this customer needs to be contacted and the record needs to be updated?
Or are there any other suggestions that may serve the same purpose?
