Form With Standard Text...how??
May 18, 2005
:rolleyes: I have a note field in a table for short description of a building parts. Is it posseble to make some standard text in a form with a "values" between the text to choose from?
Like:
This building is from "text field for input"
The roof is made of "a combobox with 4-5 items to choose from".
The standard text with the choosen values should then be sent to a note field at submit.
Like: This building is from 1945
The roof is made of tegl

I am filling in a database using forms, and I would like to be able to add standard values to any field using a macro/VBA code I don't want to set up a different macro for each field though - I have around 40 different fields (to elaborate, it's a mark database for student projects, each field is a different thing I am commenting on. I want to quickly add 'Missing' or 'Good' to a field - but I also want the option of free text instead.).can't figure how to do it in MS Access.

Hi
I am getting fed up of repeatedly modifying the basic new form in Access 2003 since I hate Tahoma and I never want dividing lines and I always want the VBA to be Option Explicit and I have my own ideas on colour schemes etc. etc.
Every new form I enter I have to make all the changes manually and simply wondered if I am being an ass. I can modify templates in Word and Excel so if I could do the same thing in Access I could save myself cumulative hours of work.
I cannot seem to find anything so does everyone else bow to what Microsoft think a form should look like or do you all do what I do and endlessly recreate the same starting point for each form???
Any pointers would be 110% wonderful!!
Best wishes

Hi,
I have generated a standard form for displaying/editing of data and I have also created a form for generating Sql query statements (The form builds a string but does not execute the query). Can I execute a query and use it with that form.
So when I generate the the SQL statement and execute the query it loads the form (With Data) instead of a query datasheet. Thank you.

I have a form which has a button to email the data out in a standard email message.
Private Sub Command60_Click()
Dim MyDb As dao.Database
Dim rsEmail As dao.Recordset
Dim sToName As String
Dim sSubject As String
Dim sMessageBody As String
[code]...
This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.

I'm wondering how other members here make decisions whether they want to place codes behind form or use a standard module instead.
I understand there is a performance penalty when you add another module (and use it), but am not sure whether one big fat module would be faster than several smaller modules with identical coding.
Furthermore, I know that some members use a hidden form to deal with startup and shutdown processing. Sometimes the processing has nothing to do with forms and would make more sense in a standard module, but since the form is already loaded, does it makes more sense to use the module behind the form than calling a function in a separate standard module to execute the needed code?
So, what do you tend to do in such situation?

In one record (or row?) there I have 10 fields (columns), how can i find the standard deviation of those 10 numbers. Seems to only want to be able to do standard deviation if all data is in one field or column. I tried doing a query but same thing, if all the fields are across, it doesatn find the standard deviation of them. Please help this worthless access user. Thank you, I look foward to all the help I can get. As you can see, I still am struggling with even terminology. Excel is easy to me, access is a challenge to say the least.

Does anybody know if it is possible to set extra code to any of the standard navigation buttons?
In other words, is there is Sub that corresponds to each navigation button that can be modified?
For example, for "Next>", is there a
Private Sub cmdNext_Click()
...
End Sub
???

I have a combo box which is used to find a record on the form. I have set LimitToList = Yes and put in code for the event NotInList.
My problem is that my code is working fine allowing me to produce my own message, but then the standard message appears as well saying "The text you entered is not an item in the list"
Has anyone any ideas please?

From a form build a report using standard paragraphs using a combo or list box . Paragraphs may vary in length but must format correctly on the report. NO SPACES MUST BE LEFT BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS. Also the form must allow editing of the standard paragraph. ie where there is perhaps a change of name etc: ALSO is it possible to exceed the 255 characters in a text box ?

and I can't figure out why, because the settings are the same as mine.
WITHOUT File, Tools, etc, its hard to teach a new person how to use
it. . .
where do i look, how do i get the menu bar back. . .

I know that a public constant is available to all subs and modules. I also know that you can only declare these in a module, you can't for example declare these in the form.
So how what is the best way of declaring them?
At the moment I just have a module that has nothing else except for the 3-4 constants that I use throughout all my forms. Is that ok?

I need to restrict the random autonumber feature to 10 digits and a positive number for a primary key. I work in the medical field, and HIPAA privacy regulations require the use of random ID numbers to identify records. Also, I need the numbers to be positive numbers because we will be using barcode scanning equipment and the possibility of truncating the negative identifier creates the possibility (admittedly remote) of having a duplicate PK barcodes. I understand that we cannot change the Access feature, but any VBA code to generate a truly random 10 digit positive number I can use as a PK?

I am trying to create a query that filters results only outside of 1 standard deviation of the mean. Is there an option for this in the criteria spot? I'm fairly new to Access and I'm not sure if I can reference a particular cell in the criteria.

I've built a system with around 20 tables in it. All of these use the standard ID field offered by default by Access as the primary key. A friend with a background in database design and development for large corporates using Oracle has reviewed the database (he is going to do some VBA programming for me) and suggested that we use more appropriate primary keys based on data attributes.
He has read "somewhere" that there are problems with the standard ID fields and that occasionally the fields are renumbered/reindexed and that this can cause problems. There are a fair number of queries and some complex forms which will need to be updated for these changes but it would be a shame to go through all this work if it isn't really.
Should we use the standard Access IDs and is it worth a chunk of effort to change from where we are now?

I have been using a table with queries with no problems. Now the queries wont recognize the last two records of the table when doing a Count. there are no null or empty spaces. I am using the drop down access standard menu to place the "Count" command. Is there a solution to this problem ?

I am trying to make use of the OpenForm command to open a form to a record where a textbox matches the value of a text box on another form.
On Form1, I have a textbox called txtRtnRef, and it contains a reference number in a similar format to SWR-9
On Form2, I have a textbox called txtReOrderRef (control source ReOrderRef) which also contains a reference number in the same format (SWR-9)
I am trying to have a button next to the text box on Form1 that has an OnClick Event that opens Form2 to the record containing the same text reference number.I have tried, to no avail, a number of variations of the OpenForm command, the most recent being
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", , , "ReOrderRef = '" & Me.txtRtnRef & "'"
The form opens, but to a blank record?

I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If

So i have made a query which filters the text you type in your text box on a form. This is working great, but then this morning I had some records that contain some blank fields. My query does not show those records even if they contain the same text that I would type in my search form.This is my expression in my query of one column:
Like [Forms]![searchform]![Qprojectomschrijving] & "*"

I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website
Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]
But, it does not work .
