Forms :: ControlType - Set Text Box Fonts In All Forms
Jul 17, 2013
I'm using the following code to set text box fonts in all my forms. Problem is a couple of my forms have a combo box which I need to reference here but not sure how. I want the Combo Box font to be the same as the text box's. Not sure how to check to see if the control is a combo box.
Code:
Public Function TextBoxProperties(frm As Form)
Dim ctl As Control
On Error GoTo TextBoxProperties_Error
For Each ctl In frm.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
ctl.FontName = "Calibri"
[Code] ....

I need to make the text size smaller to fit everything on the screen (users use 17" monitors..). I have gone into each form and subform and changed the text size for each text box to 9, but when I view them in form view the size has not changed ?
Also .. is there any way to make the autocentre option actually work as it's name suggests !! ? it does in most cases centre horizontally, but never vertically, quite often putting the top of the pop up form over the ribbon bar.
I would actually like to be able to totally remove the ribbon bar so that only the database forms are the only thing the user sees.
I vaguely remember being able to do this in Access 97 (Which was the last version I used - a long time ago !) but this seems to be more difficult in 2010 version.

I have a form with two text boxes and a button. I want to be able to type a value into the first Text box click the button and the second text box to be filled with the value which is stored in the Table.
The first Textbox is called barTxt, The second Textbox is called CustTxt The button is called SearchBtn and the Table is called BookInTable. I have been trying to use the code.
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click()
DoCmd.FindRecord Me.BarTxt.Value, , True, , True
CustTxt.Value = "SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROM BookInTable " & _
" WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _
" ORDER BY Customer"
End Sub
This however instead of displaying the Value for customer which is stored in the BookInTable. Displays The code SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROMBookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer"

I developed a report using Courier New font. When I print to a HP4050 from my computer the report is correct. When I print to the same printer from a different computer fields are truncated as if it is using a proportional font.
Any idea as to whether this is a Windows or Access issue?
Thank you in advance for any help...

Hi,
I've recently started working on a new database and already have most of my forms, queries and reports ready. However, I've been using a special font that is not available on most PCs. I was wondering whether it was possible to save the font inside the MDB file so that it can be viewed properly on other systems as well ? (Sort of like in Powerpoint).
Another thing (I guess it's impossible but I'll ask anyway) : Is it possible to save the whole Windows Style design (Scroll Bars, Arrows, Icons, Menu colors, etc..) in my database file ?
Thanks for your help,
Daniel.

I want to change the font spec for certain controls on a command bar I've created but can't find out how, or even if, it can be done.
Does anyone know how to do this? There might be an API call somewhere but I don't have any details.

I browsed a lot of posts related to fonts, and pored over my "Mastering Access 2000" and "Access 2000 Power Programming" books, but I couldn't find answers to my specific questions.
I have many years of experience with Access, but I've only recently become interested in making my forms look nice on a variety of user PC configurations. Now, like many others, I sometimes spend too much time formatting a form so it looks really nice on my PC, only to find formatting problems on the user's PC. For example, a label using Arial Rounded MT Bold looks great on my PC but is cut off on the user's PC. Similarly, Tahoma on buttons looks nice on my PC but looks bigger and bolder on the user's PC.
At first I thought this was probably a font problem. But then I realized that even with the same screen resolution, the forms themselves (not just the fonts) appeared bigger on the user's PC. Some forms didn't even fit inside a maximized Access window, whereas they certainly did on my PC - again, this is with the same screen resolution. So now I don't know if it's a font problem, some other problem, or perhaps multiple problems.
Which leads to my questions:
(1) If I set the size of a form on my PC, and the screen resolution is the same on my PC and the user's PC, then why does my form show up relatively bigger on some users' PCs? How can one control the look of a form if the form properties are not applied identically on different PCs?
(2) Why do all the fonts look bigger and fatter / bolder on some users' PCs?
(3) Is there a user-configurable Windows setting that overrides the font size settings I assign to controls?
(4) How can I determine in code if specific fonts are supported (if this is a necessary step)?
(5) What is the industry best practice for managing font selection, allowing for the possibility that the desired fonts may not be supported?
Thanks for your help...

Hello All:
A database with Last_name, First_name, Midd_name and Suffix.
These textboxes are concatenated into another textbox called "full_name".
The font style chosen for the full_name textbox is "Old English".
The suffixes used are: II, III and IV.
When Old English is applied to Last_name, First_name, Midd_name, it looks great.
Unfortunately when Old English is applied to these suffixes, it looks terrible.
Is there a way to preserve the "II", "II" and "III"?
Is it possible to have more than one font style in a concantenated textbox?
This will be used for printing completion certificates, so the spacing of the names is important.(Report)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm using a certain font - Guttman Yad-Brush (Hebrew, comes as a part of windows in Hebrew) in some forms and reports. On the design view of the objects, everything is OK. But when I try to display the form, or a print-preview of the report, Access refuses to show me that font. The text is clearly visible, in Hebrew, but in another font (I think Times-New Roman, but not sure).
The font is well installed, and works fine on other Office applications. Couldn't reproduce this behaviour with other fonts (but obviously haven't tried them all).

I'm using Access 2010's DoCmd.OutputTo in VBA to export reports to PDF. The "look and feel" of the PDFs are very important, as they will be distributed to clients of my company. I'm using special corporate fonts that are legally licensed for embedding as a subset. Two are .ttf (TrueType) and two are .otf (OpenType) fonts. The ttf fonts embed fine; the otf fonts do not, and the PDF viewer substitutes something it thinks is close (but really isn't). In the properties of the fonts in Windows Control Panel, the embedding properties are exactly the same for both.
Any way to force the fonts to embed? or any other workaround? Also, is there any way to edit-protect PDFs with VBA code? Or apply any other type of PDF security such as requiring a password to open?

I have a report that i export to pdf from access 2010 using OutputTo. The report is about 10 pages long. Every time i run this report, at page 5 and beyond, random letters become distorted, sometimes with a box sometimes with a question mark. All fonts I've tested are embedded. Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Georgia and others.
Attached is a sample of of the distorted pdf output.

Is it possible to have the value in a text box be set automatically based on the value in another textbox?For example, Textbox Gender is Male, so Textbox Reference is Male.
Code:
IFF Me.Gender = "Male" Then
Me.Reference = "Male" And
Me.ID = "ea13-02c"
Else If
Me.Gender = "Female"
Me.Reference = "Female" And
Me.ID = "ea13-01c"
End If

I need to give users the ability to change the font of a field in a report. The field shows a barcode.
I thought of using the CommonDlg class to show the Windows font-selecting dialog box, but installed barcode fonts show as a barcode. I need to show the font name.
So I need to populate a combo box with the names of all fonts installed on a computer.
The fonts reside in C:windowsfonts
I have searched Google for a solution but cannot find one.
How do I populate a combo box with the names of all fonts installed on a computer?

I have a form with numerous text boxes, combo boxes etc. I want to make two of the text boxes active (visible) only if the value entered is "Yes" in the text box above. Otherwise, if the value entered is "No," I want these other text boxes to remain hidden. For instance, if the user selects "Yes" the DVD is out on loan, I want three other text boxes to appear so that the user can enter the borrower's name, date borrowed, and date returned. Thanks!

Hi,
I have a form which allows me to search between two dates by using two text boxes. The code for the query behind the text boxes is:
Between [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box1] And [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box2] and it works great. However, I was wondering if it was possible to use the same two text boxes on another form running from the same query, or would I have to make another query for the other form? I have tried to use "or" in my statement, eg.
Between [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box1] And [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box2] Or Between [Forms]![name of my 2nd form]![name of text box1] And [Forms]![name of my 2nd form]![name of text box2] but when I try the text boxes it says "Enter Parameter Value".
Thank you for all your help.

I am trying to create a simple form with tabs. I want each tab to read from different tables.
I created the Form
I droped the Tab Control on it and made 2 more tabs
Now I want to add Text Boxes and populate them with values from a specific table. In the Control Property of each Text Box I set it to =[Table]![Field] and I get #Name?
I cannot seem to link the Text Box back to the specific table.
Once I do that I want to be able to Goto Next, Goto Previous etc.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
