Forms :: Datasheet White Space - Records Not Showing In Size Allowed
Dec 11, 2014
I have a datasheet on a form that is unable to show all records in the size allowed. Consequently it has a vertical scroll bar. However, the scroll bar allows scrolling to the bottom whereby there is white space almost the same size as the data records. The horizontal scroll bar does much the same.
Is it possible to just show the records and only the width of the data in them.? No extra records exist in the table to cause this.

How can I remove the white space that follows the last record in my datasheet forms? Please refer to attached image. This happens in two different forms, scrolling in two different directions.

how to remove the white space between fields. See attached image for an example
So far I have tried hiding gridlines, setting them transparent, removed margins, removed padding, and setting just about everything that is to do with borders to transparent in the properties list.
None of the above seems to affect how the fields display, in fact turning gridlines on and setting them really thick and a different colour doesn't change how it displays. Is this a bug with conditional formatting in Access, or am I missing something obvious that's overwriting my formatting selections?

I have a checkbox that determines whether or not to display certain form controls. How can I also hide the resulting white space that comes from hiding the form controls?
Can I put all of the controls in some sort of container and hide the container? The form objects are all displayed in order, so it shouldn't cause issue.
Can I create a subform for the objects and hide it? This would make the main and subforms based off of the same table.
Occam's Razor would be the preferred philosophy in this case. Nothing too fancy is needed.

I have a form which I would like to enable scrollbars both horizontally and vertically (the main reason being, the application is designed for users with large / wide screens but may at some point be required on smaller screens)
Currently I have the scrollbars switched off and the form maximises but everything goes to pot if I resize the window. I'd like to add the scrollbars so if a user wants to resize the window to, say, half the screen, they can still scroll across to the 'hidden' parts of the form.
The problem with this is, if the form is maximised - or at least large enough to show the entire form - the area of the screen where the horizontal scrollbar resides is white (whereas the background colour of the form is a pale green) Which is quite unsightly.
I know I can remove the problem by removing the horizontal scrollbar and the navigation bar (which is already gone!) but then I can't scroll?
Is it possible to have a horizontal scrollbar but not have that white space at the bottom when the scrollbar is not required?
(Doesn't appear to be a problem with the vertical scrollbar?...)

Hello,
Is there a way to configure Access so SQL View saves white space changes to a query? By white space changes I mean tabs, spaces and carriage returns added to make the query more readable in SQL view.
For instance:
When I'm editing a complex query in Access, I space it out nicely like:
SELECT ((field1 * field2) + (field2 * field3)) / field4 AS [Weighted Avg]
FROM table1, table2, table3
WHERE table1.field = 'xxx'
or something similar, with spaces between fields, parenthesis, and carriage returns or tabs in between major blocks of logic to increase readability. It's simplified above but I hope you get the point.
When I save it and return to SQL View later, Access compacts the query to:
SELECT((field1*field2)+(field2*field3))/field4 AS [Weighted Avg]
FROM table1,table2,table3
WHERE table1.field='xxx'
The above example isn't so bad, but with multipe selects, joins and mathematical calculations using parenthesis, it becomes really unreadable after Access "compacts" it.
Any way to change this lovely "feature" ?
Thanks,
-Scott

I've got a piece of VBA scripting which runs as an event linked to a button on my MS Access form.
I maintain a database of members of staff at my organisation. It's pretty outdated...
I'm basically wanting to pull in their updated data (extracted from on our payroll system) from a spreadsheet, into a form, when clicking a button on a particular person's record.
This is what I have so far.
Code:
start = Forms!frm_main2!txt_start_row.Value - 1
conv = DDEInitiate("EXCEL", "Staff List.xlsx")
cell_employee_number = "R" & start & "C1"
cell_surname = "R" & start & "C2"
[Code] ....
The function "CStr(DDERequest())" converts the cell number into the readable data, however I seem to have whitespace below the value.
What would I need to do to strip out this whitespace? Would I use strtrim? If so, I am unsure of the syntax... how would I incorporate strtrim into the above?

Hi all
I have a database I built for my employers that is accessed by up to as many as 50 users at one time. It is a relational database. I did a compact and repair this morning which changed the BE from 215MB to 45MB. I went to lunch and came back and the database is now 58MB. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it has increased by 13MB within an hour? There is no way this is caused by geniune data records.
Thanks
Gareth :eek:

Is there any way you can specify the size of a datasheet?
Say the datasheet opens up with 600x800 size?
or 10cm x 15cm?

My form, which is linked to my employee's table wont show all the records.
I know this is a basic thing. I've checked that it's not set to data entry in properties. I don't know what else to do.
the record source maybe? However, It was a tabbed form (cause it contains quite a lot of data capture fields).
this problem has occurred ever since I split my database.

I have a subform that displays records from a query. Usually, there is no issue. Sometimes, though, the subform stays blank for no apparent reason.
Observations:
-Open form and select relevant information (subform stays blank)
-Open query and 1 record is present
-Go form layout view and turn "Data Entry" on, then back off
(The form appears to refresh when this setting is changed and the subform is displaying the 1 record properly now)
-Close form, re-open, and select the same information as before (subform, again, stays blank)
Again, the subform usually displays the records just fine. It's only sometimes that it has this blank issue even though records are present in its source query. I've tried refresh and requery macros on the form and subform, but that doesn't get the information to show up (though, switching "Data Entry" on and off does).

I'm using a datasheet that can be filtered for certain fields. I have a macro that opens a form to the record that was selected (aka "current") in the datasheet. It filters this opened form to "1 of 1" which makes sense. How would I go about filtering that form for all of the records left (after filtering) in the datasheet?
I hate macros, but I'm doing client-specific work. The primary key is a field (autonumber) called "ListingNumber".

I am building a search form in my DB. I have got this working by using a text search box on the main form which then links to a subform that shows the results. This works great, however, when the form is first opened, it shows all the records that be searched. Is there any way that I can stop this? I just want the subform to be blank until a search is ran.

I currently have a database which has a fairly simple form linked directly to a table, which records staff attendance information.
It generally works really well, however there is one thing I would like it to do, which is be able to hide certain records from view (rather than delete them completely).
I have a checkbox on the form (bound to a corresponding field on the table) called chkHide (the field in the table is called hide), which is not visible in form view; I have a button that is visible and when pressed by a user it will change the value of the check box to True.
So far so good. However, I would then like to have the form refresh and when it does so no longer show the record to the user (so it looks like it has been deleted, but in fact that record remains in the table).
I have tried applying a filter on load, but I don't know what expression to put in the Filter on the Property Sheet - - I have tried [Hide] = Is Null, but that isn't right. I have also created a Query where I have set the criteria for the field 'Hide' to Is Null and then put the name of the query in the Filter box - that doesn't work either, as it will let me put in new records but not let me see any of those put in before the form was refreshed.

The table has PK and city column can be one of several. I need to create a filtered datasheet view (few columns only).
Since there are quite a few cities, I need to select one to display all the records in that city. My questions
Since it is a datasheet view I cannot use Combo Box. What to do then ?
If I use subform with a combo box, and bind the query in the subform with the selected combo text, it does not work.
here is the subform query
SELECT tblClient.ClientName, tblClient.HqCity FROM tblClient WHERE (((tblClient.HqCity)=[Forms]![frmSearchCity]![cboCity]));
I get nothing.....

In a table I have three fields 1. City - which is a combo box linked to a query, 2. State - a text box, 3. postal Code - a text box
When i put them on a form I use the info selected in the City box to populate the info in the State and Postcal Code boxes.
The Control source for the city is SELECT tblPostcodes.ID, tblPostcodes.Pcode, tblPostcodes.Locality, tblPostcodes.State FROM tblPostcodes;
Then on the form i put the control source of the state box as =City.column(1) and Postal code as =City.column(3)
This works fine on the form- and the information is retained - but the datasheet view of the table does not record either the State or the Postcode data that was entered. Is this because I put the control source on the form and the table is not recognising it? if this is the case how do enter it from the table?? really confused...

When I add new records to the form and close the form, the tables are updated with the new records, but the new records don't show in the form (navigation).

I have created a form for a table which contains ~600 movies and their name, genre, rating, director, year it was made, and length (min).I need to be able to enter numbers into the two Year boxes, and then it filters the movies in my database and only shows me records from between those two years. The years in my database are just in one column in the format of: XXXX e.g. 1996 etc..I've tried the code:
Code:
Private Sub Year2_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2
Me.Filteron = True
Debug.Print "[Year] BETWEEN" & Me.Year1 & "AND" & Me.Year2
End Sub
Year1 and Year2 are the boxes Year: and To: respectively. [Year] just being the column name which contains all my years.When I try to run my query it shows me my records, but it shows me all of them! It doesn't filter it at all!

I am trying to build a sales invoice for a pharmacy that contains a sub form in a datasheet view. The main form contains only the invoice number and date while the sub form contains the drug code, drug name, Qty., Available Qty. and Updated Qty.
Presently, I can only code the update to takes place on each line of the datasheet. I want the update to take place at the end when I must have finished inputting all drugs bought with same invoice number.

I have a question on number of records displaying in datasheet view on a form. Is there a way to limit the number of records showing on open.I have a command button on a Navigation form that opens a frmEnterPartsOrder using a Macro.
I have set the Macro to OpenForm, View Datasheet then GoToRecord, Record New..Works perfectly, but it does open the form and fill the screen with records, putting focus on the "new" record at the bottom of the form. Is there a way to set it to open this form, but only display say last 10 records and then focus on "new" record.

I have had a form working for ages. It has a main form and eight subforms at the bottom of the form. The main form can be edited in all fields.
I have taken a copy, modified the form added new fields to the main source table and updated the query that feeds the form.
Now (in the copy environment) it won't allow me to edit any of the fields. All of the form control properties are the same as the working model (in the live environment) I can run the query by itself and all is OK
There is obviously some little control that I have inadvertently changed and can't see it.

I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.

I have a linked table(tblxyz) having property set as ORDER BY ID DESC, ID is autonumber, so my table view gives me latest record on top.
Now I have a subform , where i am calling this Table.....
[Forms]![MainForm]![Sub_DisplayFm].SourceObject = "Table.tblxyz"
This gives me datasheet view of the table inside subform but its not showing sorted data
Interesting thing is it give sorted data view when my table is not linked and is in same access file.

How do I put an upper limit on the amount of time allowed in a date/time field?
For example - during a heart procedure a person is exposed to radiation, it will never be more than a total time of 10 minutes. I want to know how much, but I want data integrity so I don't want them to be able to enter more than 10 minutes.

Hello all,
I have a field in a database that has people's full name (e.g. Jane B. Doe). I would like to sort by their last name. Can I build a query that looks at everything after the last space in their name? Thanks in advance.
