Form Caption Question
Sep 21, 2006Dont know if its possible but no harm in asking.

Form's Caption
Jul 28, 2005I have a form with a subform. The subform displays
records in datasheet format but is not linked to
the main form.
I am attempting to get the hightlighted record on the
subform to appear in the main form's caption bar. If I isolate
the subform then that subform caption shows the current
record on the datasheet. I can't get it to work on the main
form however.
On the main form's current event I have
Me.Caption = Me.Subform.Form.EmployeeID
The main form caption only shows the first record on the
subform.
Can anyone help me on this. I have searched everywhere

Forms :: Set Textbox As Form Tab Caption

View 3 Replies View RelatedForm In Datasheet Mode : Name Of Textbox Is Caption Of Column ???
May 5, 2006My form is in datasheet mode.
One of the textbox is called txtHours
When I access the form the column caption is "txtHours" !
As you can expect it looks ugly.
So to get a decent caption like "Hours" I am forced to set my textbox name to "Hours" !
As you can expect it goes against my coding standard to do that.
Beside I want the caption of some textboxes to include some non-standard letters such as `é' è' '!' ' ' etc. and if I put those in the textbox name it ruins the visual basic code !
Forms :: Text Box In Form To Update Report Label Caption?
Oct 2, 2013I have a text box in a form, in which users enter updates. I would like that text to become the caption on a label in a printable report. How would I write the VBA to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Onload Event - Open A Form And Update Caption Of A Label
Apr 15, 2013I have some code on a button that opens a form and changes the caption of a label:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRepair", , , , , , "CancelNo"
Forms![frmRepair].Form.[lblmain].Caption = "Missing Parts"
This code works well and frmRepair opens with the updated label caption. The original value was "Return/repair Information"
A few other things need to change on frmRepair depending on this caption as well as the values of some other fields, so I use the following code in the onload event (although I later tried the onopen even)
Code:
'Disable labels button if there is no RMA and the item is a repair
MsgBox Me.lblmain.Caption
If Me.lblmain.Caption = "Return/Repair Information" Then
Me.txtRMA.SetFocus
MsgBox Me.txtRMA.Text
[Code] ....
However, I cannot get this to work as the "if" statement always returns "Return/Repair information" and not the modified caption. The message box confirms that this is the case.
I suspect that this has to do with the point in time that the frmRepair loads or opens and when my code enters the modified values.
Beffudled....Please Help With Tab Caption
Jul 10, 2005Background:
I am trying to write a Macro which will change the Caption of Several Tab Control Pages, based on entries in a Table.
Here is the entire three step macro:
Open Form
Form Name: Draft
View: Design
Filter Name: <none>
Where Condition: <none>
Data Mode: Edit
Window Mode: Normal
SetValue
Item: [Forms]![Draft]![TabCtl32].[Pages](1).[Caption]
Expression: =DLookUp("[BFL Team]","BFL Teams","[ID] = 8")
Close
Object Type: Form
Object Name: Draft
Save: Yes
All Appears OK, except I get two different results, depending on what I try to name the Tab Caption.
If the Value in the "BFL Teams" Table pointed to by the DLookUp Statement is a number (Like 1234), all is well, the Macro Executes as expected, and the Tab Caption is updated to 1234.
What is madening is that I want to use an alphanumeric name. When I try to use anything other than Numbers, (Lets use 'Text' as an example) the Macro Barfs on the second statement with the message:
"Microsoft Access can't find the name "Text" you entered in the expression"
I am using Access 97, if that helps. The entire Database is automated using only Macros (No Modules).
This is my Fantasy Football League Draft Software that I have developed over the past several years. I am by no means an Access Ace, I just got this thing to work through trial and (lots of) error, for the most part.
What I am trying to do is to automate the changes I have to make every year, and one of them is to handle changes of Team Names, and I have a Tab Control for each Team with the Team Name as the Caption.
I would just like to have the Captions on each Team Page to be updated from entries in the "BFL Teams" Table, as part of a Macro I would run to automatically set up the Tables, Forms and Reports each year, rather than make the Brute Force Changes on an anual basis.
I am sure that I am just doing something bone headed, but for the life of me, I am at a loss on how to proceed.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to look into this.
Modules & VBA :: Using Caption Instead Of Name?
Apr 22, 2015I'm trying to customise the error message for Input Mask Violations, so that it references the control where the error has occured, rather than just being a generic error message.
I can make this work using the code below:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
Const INPUTMASK_VIOLATION = 2279
If DataErr = INPUTMASK_VIOLATION Then
MsgBox "Please check that the information you have added in the " + Screen.ActiveControl.Name + " field is in the appropriate format."
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
End Sub
BUT, all my field names are shortened e.g. Mobile Number = MobileNo, so I want to use the caption property instead. I assumed I could just change it to "Screen.ActiveControl.Caption". But this doesn't work at all!
Any Way To Get The Caption Text For A Field?
Aug 21, 2006All,
I am trying to get the caption text for a field instead of the raw database name. The raw database name can be extracted using the Fields Collection:
Fields.Item(w).Name
Is there a way to retrieve the caption, as this makes more sense to the user?
For example, instead of the field name "numEmp", I want to retrieve "Number of Employees".
I need this because I am creating a form at runtime (on the fly).
Thanks,
Sal

Forms :: Cmd Button Caption Not Displaying
May 30, 2013I am building a form and part of the code is:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
lblSalary.Caption = "Enter Salary"
txtSalary.Value = "5000.00"
cmdIncrease.Caption = "Increase Salary"
End Sub
The problem I am having is that I dont understand why the cmdIncrease button does not display "Increase Salary" when the form loads. The button is there but it is blank. The lblSalary button displays "Enter Salary" with no issues.... and I do not have "Enter Salary" in the caption property window... only in the coding window but it still works.

Change Button Caption On Continuous Forms
Mar 10, 2006I have a form, the view of which is continuous forms.
It has information on the left of the screen which the user is expected to manually match to information on the right, based on the suggestion of the underlying query (based on table a and table b)
E.g.
Client A $200 <button> Mr Smith $200.00
Client B $100 <button> Mr Smith $100.01
There is a button "match me" which when clicked runs an update query.
My query is how do I change the caption on the "match me" button to say "matched" just for the one that is clicked? Because it is a continuous form, if I use Command1.Caption = "Matched" or Me!Command1.Caption = "Matched" it changes it for all the buttons on the form.
Many thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIndexed Objects In Forms EG Label1(1).caption
Mar 22, 2006Hi Guys (second post in 11 minutes!),
In VB you can index objects, and create duplicates of them, like this...
Code:Load label1(1)label1(1).Caption = "This is a label" But to do it, you must first create the original object in Design view, and set it's Index property to a number (there is an Index field in the Properties window in VB). For examle, to do the above I would create a label called Label1(0) in design view.
However, I cannot find this Index Field in the Properties window in Access - can you even create arrays of objects?!?!
Cheers.
