Format/text Alignment In Listbox
Jun 15, 2006I have a multicolumn listbox on my form. It works, but the second column is an amount, and I would like that column to be right-adjusted. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,
David

Hi All
I dont have room on my form to read a text box from left to right so can it be rotated? so i read the text from bottom up as you can do in word text boxes or excel cells?
regards in advance
I have a series of Unbound control boxes in one row. some text extend to two lines and I want everything to be centered both horizontally and vertically.
Can't figure out how to vertically align the contents of the controlb boxes...
I have created a form and want to turn the text in a header to a vertical read. I have tried all I know even pasting from excel and it just stays horisontal? Any help would be great.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that was created on my computer. When this report is opened on other computers (2 that I've tried) the text alignment is way off. Originally I thought it had to do with printer margins dictating something but that is not the case as the margins remain identical on all computers. It's not a font issue because it's Arial which all computers have. The text is written inside a "label".

I have a listbox on a form with several fields, 3 of which are currency fields.When I filter the listbox using afterupdate from a combobox on the same form, the listbox loses the currency format on the fields.
Code:
cboprop_AfterUpdate()
Dim ListFilter As String
ListFilter = "SELECT [qry_inv_form].[inv_no], [qry_inv_form].[prop_ref], [qry_inv_form].[inv_date2], [qry_inv_form].[inv_desc_type], [qry_inv_form].[inv_net], [qry_inv_form].[inv_vat], [qry_inv_form].[inv_total], [qry_inv_form].[year_month], [qry_inv_form].[month_text] " & _
"FROM qry_inv_form " & _
"WHERE [qry_inv_form].[prop_ref] = '" & Me.cboprop & "'"
Me.inv.RowSource = ListFilter
Me.inv.requery
I tried wrapping the fields in Format(fieldname, "Currency") but that came back with a syntax error.
G'Day again everyone,
I would like to justify everything so it is in the centre of the cell in the datasheet. Can this be done?
Also is there any way that you can wrap text in a text box?
Thanks a lot - Elliot
:confused:
is there any way you can align text and data within msgbox's, with vbtab etc.
i suppose its a matter of forcing several text strings to occupy a similar length of screen real estate.
can you achieve this in a msgbox?
While using list boxes i noticed that numeric fields were getting left aligned in the columns. Is there any way to get them right aligned ?

Hello all -
I have a text box in a report that I want to combine a label and a date field (date field is based on a table). I need to format the date field to be different than the way it is in the table though. I used the "Format" part of the property window to say (mmmm", "yyyy) but it only works if the date field is the only thing in the text box.
Example:
In the text Box, I want ="Medical Record Review - & [Date Added]" where [Date Added] now says e.g., 9/11/04, and I want it to say September, 2004. Putting (mmmm", "yyyy) in the format part of the property window works only if [Date Added] is the only thing in the text box. Is there a way to include both the text and the called field in the text box AND format the [Date Added] field as I need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
I'm creating a tabbed form in Access 2007, and in the first 3 tabs, when I dragged the field controls onto the form, they stretched to the width of the form and all stacked nicely underneath each other.
Now on the next tab they are coming out as much smaller. I don't want to stretch them to fit as I want them a uniform size and I just want to find how to get that setting back! I've been messing with the anchoring buttons to what seems like no avail!
How can change column color in list box and also how to make alignment left or right for cells data.

can the text in the listbox be printed?? not the entire form.
Is it was possible to wrap text in listboxes. some fields are very long at times and i was hoping there would be a way to wrap it so I didnt have to make the width of that column extra long. I am trying to conserve as much space as possible on the form.

Hi All,
I have built a code database where right now I display my sample code in a textbox on my main form. I was hoping to replace the text box with a Rich Text Box. I could then format the code to sort of match what would be shown in the VB/VBA IDE.
I know the Rich Text Box was disabled in Access 2003 for security reasons. I also know that there is another free RTF control. I was hoping to find out how Microsoft intended for us to replace the Rich Text Box. I could use a Web Browser Control but I was not sure of the best way to add this to my form and then feed it the data that was originally bound to the text box.
Thanks for any insight you would be able to provide.

I have a date that imports as text into my table.
It imports as 20041201 which is yyyymmdd.
I would like to convert this text to a actual date format mm/dd/yyyy.
Is this possiable?
Any help would be so great.

Hi there, I hope someone will take pity on me and help me as I am new to databases so here goes.
I have combo boxes in a form that the user would like to be able to press the Enter key and just go to a new line, not go to the next field. This is so they can have say 4 sentences but have each one on a new line in the combo box. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Hi
I've created a listbox and am using the following code
stWhat1 = "": stCriteria1 = ","
For Each vItm1 In Me!LstArchive.ItemsSelected
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & Me![LstArchive].Column(0, vItm1)
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & stCriteria1
Next vItm1
Me!txtCriteria1 = CStr(Left$(stWhat1, Len(stWhat1) - Len(stCriteria1)))
The problem is that my bound column is a text field. I'm really struggling on where to put my quotations so that I get the following with the In function
In('00638','00639').
Any help or pointing in right direction would be very much appreciated

I'm working on a series of forms for a company that I'm currently employed at, and on one of them I've made a listbox which will display records which need action in the next 2 weeks.
That's all going fine. However, it it possible to make the items in the listbox flash red? Just so that our external worker REALLY has no excuses!
Just to clarify, I want the text identifying the records (E.g. Name, FinalDate) to flash, but not the headers for the columns in the listbox.
