Me.ThisCount.BorderWidth =3

Auto Highlight In Form Fields
Sep 19, 2006Hi guys
I just built a tracking database (I can't post it because it contains PHI, and I do hope I don't have to) and it's been giving this issue starting today.
When I am in a field the cursor automatically goes to the end and highlights everything between the end and where I click. So if I mistype the third character I need to delete everything from the end to the third character to edit it.
It just started doing this when I loaded it up. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Forms :: Highlight To Update Form?
Oct 25, 2013I have a form that I need to update whenever a chosen business name changes. This is tied to a search function that updates/changes the business name, and this works fine. What I now need it to do is when the name is clicked on the table (which updates the respective business name) I need everything else to update with it.
I have tried refreshing the business name, the form, even the records themselves with onClick and onChange functions, but it still doesn't work.
Re-reading this I realize it doesn't make much sense, but hopefully the attached database will clear things up. When you type in the info in the search box, all the stuff in the right corner changes accordingly. If you click and highlight anything in the box in the center instead of using the search function, the business name at the bottom changes but everything in the right corner remains unchanged.
Forms :: Search Form Specify Row Highlight
Oct 24, 2013I have a form that acts as a search form where the user inputs a string of text which then updates and filters a list box. For some reason when it does this it highlights the 2nd row on that list, even if there is no data there. How can I get it to automatically highlight the first row? The database is attached and the form in question is FRM_SearchMulti.

May 15, 2013I am trying to provide a visual highlight for users of a multi tabbed form. I do a check as users go from tab and tab and i.e. on exit event and I would like to highlight all mandatory fields that have been left incomplete.
I did a test with one control and it worked as expected with the after update event of the specific control.
I then altered the code to add another control, but it does not work as expected. It only highlights one control and not the other. I just recently started using vba, I adapt the code to fit multiple controls and make it work as expected.
Private Sub Ctl2_frm_tab1_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If (Len(Form_2.cmb_arName& "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_arName)) Or _
(Len(Form_2.cmb_val & "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_val)) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please complete the highlighted control", vbCritical + vbOKOnly

Modules & VBA :: Go To Last Record In Continuous Form And Highlight It?

Forms :: Way To Highlight Duplicates Across A Number Of Records On A Continuous Form
Jan 1, 2015Is there any way to highlight duplicates across a number of records on a continuous form (conditional formatting I presume)? My continuous form is filtered on load to show only the records relating to the specified date (specified before opening the form), and there is one field that I would like to highlight if there is a duplicate value in the same field on another record on the form. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Highlight Some Fields On A Form If Their Value Differs From Previous Record
Dec 9, 2014I wish to highlight some fields on a form if their value differs from the previous record.
I'm OK with the code to determine this, but unsure as to where to put the code to set the fields initially?
I have two strings txtPrevPayment_Method and txtPrevProduct.
Where can I set them 'once' to be the same as the first record loaded in the form. Then in the Current event I check if they have changed and set font colour accordingly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSub Form Steals Focus
Apr 14, 2006Hi, this is frustrating, and a little complicated, so I'll try and explain it as best I can..
I have a form with two sub forms.
The main form "fmMain" contains a list of species. the subform which is causeing me the problems lists loci specific to each species. The user can search by a species or locus and resrict the list accordingly.
Now, here is the problem. The form is too large for my screen, so I have some scroll bars on fmMain. However, whenever the user performs some kind of search the focus shifts to the subform (I guess), causing the screen to scroll to the middle. From here you can't see the species info, and after each navigation the user has to scroll back up again. It's frustrating having to continually scroll around the screen.
Is there anything that can be done to stop the focus shifting around? I'd rather that when the user performed some action the screen just simply didn't move.
Cheers - sorry for the monster post! (hope it all makes sense)
Set Focus On A Form With 4 Subforms
Jun 10, 2005My main form has four command buttons that when clicked will make visible one of four subforms.
I can switch freely about the subforms by clicking on each of the buttons. However, when I place the cursor in a subform(and thus give it Focus), and then attempt to select another button to open another subform, I get the dreaded "can't hide a control that has the focus" error message.
What type of code should I use and where exactly should I be putting it?
I've tried setting focus to another subform in the OnClick event of my buttons, but that doesn't seem to be working.

View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Set Focus To Sub Form?
Sep 14, 2014On a main form I have 2 sub forms. On the main form I have a command button that asks how many guests in a booking and depending on the response populates the subform with Guest Names. However it will only do this if I click on the subform and then click the command button.
I want to include some code that sits behind the command button on the main form that will duplicate the otherwise manual selecting of the sub form. And I am thinking this is a SetFocus procedure.
I have tried this code;
[Forms]![Booking].[SubForm1].SetFocus
where Booking is the name of the form. I do not know whether the Subform is #1
