I have a form that I use as a switchboard for a database. It automatically opens whenever I open the database and contains various buttons that allow me to import new data, run reports etc.
It has somehow moved a long, long, long, long (you get the idea!) way down the 'page' - i.e. the scrollbar to the right of access is enormously long with this form at the bottom and enything else I open at the top. This means that whenever I use the database any other forms, reports etc that I open are so far up the page that I cannot see them. The only way to reach them is to maximize everything. However, this makes it difficult/impossible if I need to, for example, see the design of two queries at the same time.
I have spent half an hour slowly moving the form up the page manually, but I don't seem to getting anywhere. Is there anyway to return this form to the top of the access page?
Is there anyway to stop the user from beng able to move a form. I.e. as in change its position on screen.
I am aware that you can do this by setting the border type to "none". However, I want my form to have a title bar along the top, so I cant use this method.
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ive found some information on the "movable" property, but I am using access 2000 and cant get it to work.
I have one-page forms which print a second page, blank except for a block of grey shading at the top. I have tried moving the content of the form up but that doesn't eliminate the second page. If I look at print preview, every second page of the entire database shows up as blank, regardless of where that happens to appear in the record.
to automatically create a second, third, fourth... page depending on how many characters are in the narrative. The only other thing needed to be changed is the page# of Page#.
I have added the Allen Browne Calendar 2k control to my form.
My form consists of 4 pages. On pages 2 and 3 I have subforms and on page 4 I have Personal data. Page 1 is general data and the Calendar is on Page 1.
What is happening is that the Calendar is also being displayed on my 4th page, in the same position as page 1. When I try to move it, cover it or delete it from page 4, it is also gone from page 1.
I have a form with six tabbed pages on it. Since data entry follows in a logical order I would like to put a command button on the bottom of each page (subform) that can be used to go to the next page. What I am going to though? If i put a command button (open form) then it opens the whole form not as a subform on a tabbed page. if I try and put a command button (open page) then it will not let me enter the page number. Hope that makes sense! Any ideas
I have just found out that my admin team have re-named all my folders so now teh folder that my DB was in is called a different name, so now my DB wont open as it says that it can't find teh file (as its still looking for teh origional folder name).
Is there an easy way around this? (I cant change the folder names)
Suddenly my database started to act wierd. Look at the attached image. I can't move the window containing all the forms and tables. And I need to point out that I didn't place it there myself...
How to move it? I tried everything I could come up with, i.e. remove the toolbars, changing size of tha window and the programs window, restarting, re-saving, etc.
I have an open form with buttons to open other forms and use an If statement to position them an example is below.
Code: Private Sub Command31_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Opener", acNormal If Me.Frame54 = 1 Then DoCmd.MoveSize 2500, 1000 ElseIf Me.Frame54 = 2 Then DoCmd.MoveSize 25500, 1000 End If End Sub
This works perfectly, however I need to put similar code as a line in a macro and cannot seem to link it.
Code: Public Function totalmove() If Forms.Scan_Data.Frame54 = 1 Then DoCmd.MoveSize 2500, 1000 ElseIf Forms.Scan_Data.Frame54 = 2 Then DoCmd.MoveSize 24000, 1000 End If End Function
I get Error 438 object doesn't support this property or method...
I am new to using access and have customized a project management database for a friend's company. I need a way to auto relink the front end and back end databases when moved in the same folder. I am currently using Access 2013 and have already tried using the code on this site: [URL]...... Does this code not work for Access 2013 or am I adding it incorrectly.
I have had a client moving to a new server a couple of months ago.
They have a small access application that reads csv files and exports them into Sage format that can then be imported into their accounts program - it also reports the total invoiced (whatever is inside the data CSV file) and has a printer friendly report with all the invoices inside said data CSV file.
The issue I have is that since the little app was moved to the new server - it stopped working.
I think somewhere in the code / options there is place to state the working path for the app. I think the app is trying to read the input data file from the old shared folder and thus not working anymore.
I can post the code and a sample CSV file. Specially because I did find a place with the old path and changed it to the new file share and it still didn't work.
I am trying to use this query. It gives me correct results as query. However when I make chart with query on a report it doesn't show correct data and eventually stops making chart
SELECT qry.txtRC, Count(tbl.txtRC) AS CountOftxtRC FROM tblMain AS tbl, qryRC AS qry WHERE (((tbl.txtDepartment)=[Forms]![frmRC]![cboDepartment] Or [Forms]![frmRC]![cboDepartment] Is Null) AND ((tbl.txtZone)=[Forms]![frmRC]![cboZone] Or [Forms]![frmRC]![cboZone] Is Null) AND ((tbl.txtRC )=[qry].[atnRC ID]) AND ((tbl.date) Between [Forms]![frmRC]![startDate] And [Forms]![frmRC]![endDate])) GROUP BY qry.txtRC , tbl.txtRC HAVING (((Count(tbl.txtRC )) Is Not Null)) OR (((Count(tbl.txtRC )) Is Not Null)) ORDER BY Count(tbl.txtRC ) DESC;
I'm about to move to a back end / front end system, from a single database file. Before I do so, I want to make sure I have all bases covered so to speak.
My back end file will reside on a server. I am aware that path names are sometimes changed by network administrators without warning.
From tests, I notice that, if the path to the back end can't be found, one cannot open the front end database file at all (Access 2003).
My question is: if my back end file gets moved, or the path changed, how can I get into my front end file to update the linked tables.
I have built an Access 2010 split database on my computer and it functions as built. My next step was to copy it to the server at work and test it. I discovered the tables had to be re-linked and so did that. As I have read in the Access World Forums in order to function as a multi-user database a copy of the front end must be placed on the individual workstation with the back end residing on the server, however the hyperlinks in the back end will not function when the copy on the workstation is run. I simply get an unable to open "filename" error pop-up. I can run the server copy and everything functions as built. I know that the hyperlinks require all the files to be in the same folder (relative vs. absolute), but if the back end contains all the hyperlinks why does the location of the front end seem to affect the operation of the back end?
I have a report which includes several subreports. There will be times when a subreport prints partially on one page and completes on the next. I don't always want to break to a new page with this subreport. However, I would want to break to a new page if the subreport cannot fully print on the current page.
I have a report that lists states and cities within the states. When a state name happens to be at the end of the page the individual cities appear on the next page with no State heading. I solved the second page problem by setting the "repeatSection = Yes" in the Section Header (though I haven't shown that in the example below).
But the previous page (which just shows the State Name and no cities looks dumb. Is there some sort of solution.?? (Actually I would also like any State that continues to a next page to not just have the state name but something like " Colorado (Continued)" Is there anything I can do in VB to make a page break if the section is going to print but therer isn't enough room for one detail line?
This is what I currently see
Alaska Ancorage Prudo Bay
California Whittier Anaheim
Colorado ------------------------Page Break --------------------------------- Denver Pueblo Colorado Springs
If I have a report and it has controls (labels representing column titles) in the page header. Now when I print the report - if it happens that the last page has no detail records - but there is text boxes and so forth in the report footer. Is there a way to not display the page header on the last page?
I have a report where the last page shows the page header - and the field/column labels on the page header - but for which there is no detail records left to display - on the last page. There is report footer information that should display. It just looks weird because the field/column labels show at the top of the page - but there is no data remaining to print under them on that last page.
I have a data access page needs a filter by a dropdownlist, the dropdownlist used is a html control and I use javascript to filter the data programmaticlly in the onchanged event of the control.
MSODSC.DataPages(0).Recordset.Filter="AppID = 3";
My problem is, when this statement runs, the page refreshes. But I don't need the page refreshes, it set the dropdownlist text to the default text, not the value user select. The browser is IE7.
I am trying to create an invoice report. I want to add all the costs from the detail section in my footer. I have accomplished this in either the Report footer and/or the page footer, but the problem is that the report footer doesn't go to the bottom of the page, and the page footer doesn't go to just the last page. I have tested a bunch of suggestions that don't seem to work.
1. Print page footer with Report header = NO - only works if your report is two pages or more.
2. Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Page = Pages Then Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = True Else Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = False End If End Sub
The Page functions worked, but it did not change the results from page to page. If it was a two page report, then the if statement is false and the text box was not visible on page 1, but it also was not visible on page 2.
I've used the following code on the footer on print procedure:
Private Sub PageFooterSection_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer) Me.PageFooterSection.Visible = (Me.[Page] = 1) End Sub
This works fine when you view it in print preview, but the footer don't show up at all when you actually print it.The reports default view itself is set print preview.
Does anyone know a basic and quick way to write to a table in a database using a web page instead of a form? the webpage is stored locally as is the database
hi folks, How do I open html based help file from an access form? I've looked at access help, but it only shows how to put the control on the page, and not how to link the control to the webpage? I'm missing somehting here if someone could help please?
It's probably obvious, but how do I get a form to fit one page? I have to print a lot of forms but cannot get a page break or similar and the form "moves" down the page by the third or fourth record
