In my current database there seems to be two different types of borders in my pop-up forms! The best way to explain it is that some forms will have the Access style border while others have the glass style border that you see in windows. I can't seem to find any settings that will change this or even determine what causes it.
View RepliesI have a form which I use for many different tasks, in order to save database size, reuse code and keep things at their simplest.
Sometimes, I'll click a button to open the form which will only show specific filtered data in "Form" view, using a default "Dialog" border style.
Sometimes, I click another button which opens the same form, filters different data and displays the form in "DataSheet" view, but this time, I want the borderstyle to be "Sizable".
What I need is a line of VB code which will force the form to open-up with "Sizable" borderstyle, regardless of the form's Design view settings.
Something that would look like this (which obviously doesn't work):
Forms!frmFormName.Borderstyle = sizable
Does anyone have suggestions?

Hello all - Working on a form that is supposed to display order approval information. In the database I'm working with, people are stored as in the approvals table by a reference to an autonumbered value. However, I want to display their name, which can be obtained normally through an SQL or DLookUp Command. This tabular form style though is giving me a problem. If I put new textboxes on the form and load it as I normally would, like:
ApprovalName.Value = DLookup ("[UserName]", "Users", "Users.UserID =" str(ApprovalID.Value*))
*ApprovalID is a hidden textbox that stores the number that is used to represent a particular user.
The problem becomes that using an OnLoad or and OnCurrent Form function, the boxes only load one value. I want them to load the different values for the different entries, but I am lost as to how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
A similar issue that I've been having with reports is that I don't know how I would do this at all... I want to do the same thing (retrieve the Name or whatever that is related to a numerical value) and put it on the report. I'd appreciate any info on how to do this.
Thanks
How do I copy a form from one database that have reports and quaries linked to it to another so that I can change the information in the new database and keep the form style in the old database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Access db's that were originally created in Access 2003, I have upgraded them no problem to accdb and am using them in Access 2010.
When I create a new form and add a button it is rounded/shaded/white/blue etc - looks good.
When I add a button to an existing form, or reformat the existing form buttons (back colour Accent 1, Lighter 40%, Use Theme Yes etc) it remains an old style button (unrounded, solid colour etc).
How to convert old style buttons to new style buttons ..
The Quick Style and Change Shape formatting command buttons greyed out. What setting do I need to change to make them available?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently creating a database to link together a maintenance system and a conditional reporting system and I’ve run into a little problem.
I am trying to create a form for assigning skills to a given contractor (contractor selected via a combo box (cboContractor)) by transferring selected items from a list box on the left (lstAvailable) to a list box on the right (lstselected). (much like any windows wizard would) This is done through the 4 buttons cmdSelect, cmdSelectAll, cmdDeselect, cmdDeselectAll.
Now it has been a long time since I have had to work with VB and I am struggling a little to create the required coding to pass data from one listbox to the other.
For reference:
CboContractor takes information from tblContractor. The data is ContID and ContName and the bound column is 1.
LstAvailable takes information from tblSkills. The data is SkillID, SkillComm and SkillNotes. Bound column is 1
LstSelected will place data into tblcontskills.
Tblcontskills has the fields, tcsID, ContID, SkillID
Can anyone help or does anyone know where I can find some good examples on the net as I have browsed through the search pages here and not really found a great deal that is valid
Thankyou in advance for your help everyone
I have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.

I need a help.
I would like to (if possible) to place into Form an object that could create a Tree-like menu structure. The source from this object should be table/query.

Hi,
In Visual Basic of the form,
Suppose I have a form "na",
I want to create another form using the VB, the form style and format as sama as the "na", all the fields are same, same positions.
Dim frm As Form
Set frm = CreateForm(, "na")
DoCmd.Restore
frm.RecordSource = "na"
I tried these code, the code is created based on "na", but it still needs to add the fields, and it will automatically open the design view to design, i want to VB to copy the "na" design to the new form.
How can I write? Does VB copy the same design and format to the new form?
Please let me know,
Thanks.
Hi all,
I am not sure how to search the forum for info on this issue as I don't know the key words (Lingo) that would be used, so I decided to just ask...
I have a table called tblProducts with a one to many relationship with a table called tblTransactions.
I also have a paper form, much like a grocery list, that has known types of products to purchased on the top have and the bottom half has blank line to enter products purchased that are not listed above (or are unknown). The list is much larger and takes up more than one sheet of paper, but is done on a weekly basis. Here is a short "Grocery list" style example:
Date:_________
.
Description....Qty...........Description...Qty
Ice Cream:....................Milk:
....Vanilla......___Gal...........Whole......___Ga l.
....Chocolate..___Gal...........2%.........___Gal.
.......................................Nonfat...._ __Gal.
Bananas........___Ea.
..................................Meat:
Bread:..............................Pork.......___ lb.
..White.......___Loafs..........Beef.......___lb.
..Wheat......___Loafs..........Chicken....___lb.
.
----------------------------------------------------
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
____________ ___ ___........____________ ___ ___
.
I want to create a form that you can enter data into exactly like this and have the data find the product in tblProducts and then create a new transaction for that product in tblTransactions. If the product is new, then it would create a new product and the transaction. The date also has to be entered into each transaction, and most times the data is entered weeks after the paper is filled out, so using "today's" date won't work, it has to read it from the entered data.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find anyone else doing this, but then I may not be searching with the right key words, as I don't know what you call this type of data entry.
Thank you.
Hi There,
I want to synchronize 2 comboboxes (actually 3, but let's start with 2)
On a form I have 2 comboboxes:
- CompanyType (FK fkCompanyTypeID in table Contacts)
- Category (FK fkCompanyCategoryID in table Contacts)
Let's say we have companytype CT1 until CT10.
For CT1, CT2 & CT3 I want to choose a catagory, so the combobox must be 'enabled'.
For CT4 until CT10 the Catagory combobox must be disabled, so that I cannot choose a category value.
Actually I want to choose 2 catgories (2 comboboxes) for CT1 until CT3.
But I think that an explanation for the example above is sufficient for me.
Both comboboxes are filled by a Select Query, and the values are filled in a separate table. (Table CompanyType (PK pkCompanyTypeID) & Table CompanyCategory (PK pkCompanyCategoryID)).
Can someone please help me on this issue? :confused:
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Greets,

Hi,
In the subform i have the layout i want with the text boxes and so on.
Now i have that in the main form the sub form is fairly big, but the problem i get is the subform only displays 1 record at a time. Is there a way i can get the subform to display all the records and for it just to add a verticle scroll bar.
So it is a list effect.
Thanks

I would like to create a "wizard style" interface to allow users to Select items (staff members) by moving them from a list of "available" staff to a list of "selected" staff (and back again if they change their minds :rolleyes: ). - e.g. Like the Report Wizard, where you move table/query fields between the "Available Fields" and "Selected Fields" lists.
Does anyone have anything to help me out with this, that they could "lend" me ?
Of course I am stuck using AC97.... so I may need to borrow a hammer and chisel as well :D

So, I've recently learned that Access 2013 took a step backward and got rid of PivotTables. Unfortunately for me, PivotTables were perfect for summary reports I have to create with large data sets (some with millions of records).
What are my alternatives to PivotTables within Access 2013? I was playing around with the report builder, but it seems to retain all line items and doesn't allow me to collapse everything into a one page report.

-Etc2
+Production
I have used the tree control to acomplish this but the major drawback I have found is it becomes WAY too slow when utilizing large amounts of data due to many embeded loops. Does anyone know an alternative or a way to program the tree control to only add nodes once a selection is expanded?
Basically I want this to operate as a drilldown of infinate levels with the speed of windows explorer. Unfortunatly all the code I have seen requires that all nodes are designated/Created when the form is loaded.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated
I am trying to create VBA code (I have very little experience of VBA) to recreate a parameter query mail merge, which Access 2013 cannot achieve with the controls provided.I think that I need to assign a variable to the value of a control on my form then assign that variable to the relevant criteria section of my query.
Code:
DIM RefNo as String
DIM IDNo as String
RefNo = Me.[Reference Number].Value
IDNo = Me.Text582.Value
DoCmd.OpenQuery SORTER
How do you paste into criteria?
