Form Items Placement
Nov 6, 2006
Suppose you have 10 fields on a certain spot in a form. And you want to place these ten controls, say command buttons) to line up under each other with an even spacing of about 0.2...
Up to now, for a whole lot of controls, I've been selecting them one by one (or "line" by "line"), and manually entering the correct numbers in the left and top property setting fields so they line up the way I want them to. In the beginning I've tried selecting multiple controls at once and then using align but this actually never does what I want it to do.
Do you guys and gals know something I don't concerning this which could make life easier?

My problems is a difficult one.
Here is the breakdown. I have a number of tables within a database, I have a main screen as to pick the required table I want to display in either tabular or graph format, the table works. I have created a graph and am trying to get the code or row source in the properties to look at the VBA I have written.
Any ideas please?
It’s something to do with the row source type. If it were a function, I would just put the function name there. It’s a private sub.
Private Sub ListMonkey()
Dim TableName As String
Dim strSQL As String
TableName = Me.Graph_Selected_Table
strSQL = "SELECT [LOAD], [Displacement] FROM " & TableName
End Sub
This is the last little thing, and I have no idea how to solve it.

Is it possible to direct the placement/order new of fields when modifying an Ms Access database in code?
I need to modify the schema of an MS Access database via code - but I want to be able to direct the order or placement of the fields within the tables.
For example - if TableOne has 3 fields - Field10, Field20 and Field30.
I would like to be able to add say Field15 between Field10 and Field20 - not just append it to the end of existing fields.
I believe it is possible as you can do it within Ms Access itself. I can use ADO, DAO, ADOX or SQL for that matter - but it seems all of these offer no placement of the field within the table.

I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are
individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K
and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F
and 3 pc set = G,H,K
How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.
E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000
A=3000
B=3000
C=3000
D=3000
F=3000
Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.

I would like passing values from first form until third form.
In the first form I have a list box after selecting items (For each selected item in first form I have 4 values) and pressing button (or right click of mouse) the second form will be open, then in the second form I have 2 option (inserting, deleting), when I select inserting or deleting in the second form, third form will be open, in the third form there is a "OK" button, when I press that, passed values from first form will be used for inserting or deleting records to the table.

Hi,
why do ALL form items disappear if certain records are not there? my mainform is fed by a people Qry and the people have payments however, if you delete the payments, all of the items on the mainform disappear. if i go into the table and manually add a payment, everything re-appears.
the mainform is exclusive to "peopleQry" and there are 2 subforms which show different data at different times. when the form loads, these subforms have a sourceobject set to "" so it couldnt be them. the mainform doesnt display any payment information unless asked and then, it is shown on a different form. this is a bit of a problem now.
can it be prevented?
regs,
NS

Hello,
I have a form that users type in a part number and a due date. I then run a
report that prints the part number, the components needed and the processes
needed. For example:
------User Form-------
Part 1 6/25/05
Part 2 6/28/05
Part 3 7/1/05
---------Report--------
Part 1 6/25/05
Component 1--------SAW-----WELD------SMOOTH
Component 2--------WELD-----PAINT
-------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2 6/28/05
Component 1--------DRILL-------WELD
Component 2--------SMOOTH-----PAINT
-------------------------------------------------------------
Part 3 7/1/05
Component 1--------DRILL-----PUNCH
Component 2--------CUT-------PAINT
-------------------------------------------------------------
What the users want the ability to check off (and make dissappear) the
processes each day, so they can see what processes are left.
For example, after day 1 with SAW and WELD done:
Part 1 6/25/05
Component 1--------WELD------SMOOTH
Component 2--------PAINT
I'm confused about how to go about this. I don't want the users to have to
manually type in anything. I want the components and processes to show up
when they type in the part number. I want the user to be able to check off
processes as they go, but I want all the processes to show up when they type
a new part in the form. I would appreciate it if someone would point me in
the right direction.
Thank You,
Chad

Hello,
I am trying to count the number of certain items on a form. I have the formula =count([field]) which gives all entries for that field. How can I separate out certain criteria such as count only items that have the number 1 in this field?
Thanks

I have an Orders form (frm-Orders) that includes a subform (frm-Order Details Subform). The subform has line item totals.I want to be able to sum the line item totals and show the result on the main form, but I can't get it to work. Seems like it should be an easy thing to do.
Someone suggested I try this but it didn't work:
In the footer of the subform I created this expression - =SUM([Line Item Total].
Then in the main form I created a textbox with this -- =[Forms]![frm.Orders].[Form]![frm-Order Details Subform].[Form]![txtSum].

I have a bound form which shows list of items in the stock. When i click on a button it should open another form which shows the details of item which we choose from the first form.the code which i have in click event of the form is :
Code:
Dim strCrit As String
strCrit = "PkID=" & Me.RadStocks
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmIssueRadItems", , , strCrit
It works sometimes but most of the time it gives error saying " syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'PkID=Airmux 200E DC".

I have a list box on an unbound main form, which contains a rowsource consisting of files in a certain folder. The listbox is unbound
when I change an item in a subform, the listbox should update to show different items from the same folder.
Now it is updating correctly, so the rowsource appears to be correct, , but then the listbox behaves strangely - with the first item being sort of permanently selected - or at any rate - strange selection behaviour
out of interest, changed it to a combo box and it works correctly. so there must be some difference between the two?
After investigation, it might be this : [URL] ....
The appearance is similar to what is described in the thread.
although I have played with the strings to get them shorter without getting it work correctly. very strange
if I run the code to update the listbox from the subform, either directly, or by running as sub IN the main form, it produces this strange behaviour. If I run exactly the same code directly IN the main form, it seems to work properly.

I have a report that generates 100 items in alphabetical order. All of the items are also displayed in a table. I have a bound form attached to the that table, and when the items appear they are not in alphabetical order. Therefore, it is a hassle typing in the data when the form will not appear in order, because instead of going in order I am flipping through pages. What is causing this to happen? And what can I do to fix this?

I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate()
Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));"
End Sub

I have this database with the purpose to storage all the tasks that are done in my team. I have a table named Tasks with all their fields. Now, I would like to set a more user friendly way for clients to update this table. I have created another table with a list of most common tasks, so when a client wants to add their tasks list they can choose one of this tasks and add it to the list. I had created a form with multiple items that contains the common tasks and next to each task a button that adds the information they choose into the table "Tasks". This works just fine. However, I would like to add a single button at the top to add all the tasks instead of having to choose one after one.
The "Add All tasks" button has this code:
Private Sub Command79_Click()
Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset
Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....

I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?

I have a main form (Parent) along with a subform(Children). I want to have a button that generates a report with the Parent information as a header and the items in the subform as details. In addition, I want the report to show only the children that were recently added not all of the children.

I have a main form with 3 sub forms. The main form is tied to a table called QUOTES_MASTER. The first sub form is tied to a table called QUOTE_ LINE_ ITEMS_DIRTGLUE. It calculates the subtotal when selecting items. The relationship is one-to-many linked on QUOTE_ID.
The second sub form adds up total of all line items and is not tied to a table.The third sub form adds ESTIMATED FREIGHT to the PRODUCT TOTAL and is not tied to a table. how to get the values from the line items form inserted into the QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE table as they are added.
I also want to insert the total value from ESTIMATED DELIVERED into the LINE_TOTALS field in the table QUOTES_MASTER.I tried this code on the product total sub form but it doesn't do anything and there are no errors:
Private Sub PROD_SUB_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE SET QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE.SUBTOTAL = Me.PROD_SUB WHERE QUOTES_MASTER.QUOTE_ID = " & Me.QUOTE_ID

Let's assume we have 3 tables:
Order_Category (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type_Name) with 2 records:
1, Minor
2, Major
Order_Type (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type) with 4 records:
1, Book
1, Pencil
2, Car
2, House
Orders (Order_Category_ID, Order_Type, value) with 2 records:
1, NULL, NULL
1, NULL, NULL
2, NULL, NULL
I want to create a Multiple Items form presenting Orders table with two Combo Boxes:
1. A combo box to select Order_Category_ID.
2. A combo box to select Order_Type. When 1 (Minor) is chosen in the first combo box it should show Book and Pencil, when 2 (Major) is chosen it should show Car and House.
Examples in the Internet show how to do it on a 'single row' forms using the RowSource property. I tried to use a query like:
SELECT Order_Type
FROM Order_Type
INNER JOIN Orders ON Order_Type.Order_Category_ID = Orders.Order_Category_ID
WHERE Order_Category_ID = [comboBoxOrderCategoryID]
But it sets same values for all records in the Multiple Items form and it should return different values in each rows based on value in the first combo box (Order_Category_ID).

I've made a button on my form which adds a booking ID into the listbox, but it doesn't seem to work. This is my code:
Private Sub Command18_Click()
Dim BoI As String
MsgBox "Booking successfully added!", vbInformation, "Booking"
If Month(Me.Date_1) = 1 Then
ListJ.AddItem Me.BoI
ElseIf Month(Me.Date_1) = 2 Then
ListF.AddItem Me.BoI
End If
End Sub
If someone could tell me the problem, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. :)

How can I increase the number of items on a Switchboard?
When I change the code, "conNumButtons = 8" to 20, an errors says only 8 items are allowed on a switchboard page.
When I select debug, the VB opens and the following line is highlighted yellow: "Me("Option" & intOption).Visible = False"
Do I need to change this line, or delete? to accommodate more items on a switchboard page, or am I stuck with only 8 items?
Thanks.
