I'm curious whether it's possible to display the label for a combo within the box itself, i.e. it would say something like "Enter Name" until the user clicked on it and opened the dropdown?
I found this which is really old and I couldn't get it to work.URL....
I have a form with 3 subforms on it based on individual queries.
If there is no data to display the subforms are blank.
I want to display a Label on the subform saying that there is no data to display?
i have a label and a combobox (the combobox is invisibile). in a form.
how do i make the combobox visibile when i click on the label?
How do I move combo box label into the form header area while leaving the actual field title in the detail area in a subform so they looked stacked like the other items??

I have a form that I want to use in order to work out a global figure for average travel time for my engineers (data coming from another database).
I have a form with two text boxes, which allow the user to define a date range. This links into my query which works fine and returns all records from that date range.
Now comes the troubling part!
On the click of a command button I want the label to change and display the average for my work time column form my query (which by the way is in decimal format).
Can anyone help me? I have tried searcing but to no avail
Can I display the weekday in a label on a report? If so, how? The record source for the report has a variable "StartDate" and I want to show the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc) of this date in a label.

I have a blank form with a subform. All I want to do is have a combo box with the names of the subforms in, and when you choose one it is displayed in the subform box.
Names of the subforms are:-
qselDuplicateCustomersByHomePhoneNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersByMobileNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurname&Street
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&PartStreet
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&Street
I'd like to display them more readable in the combo box, i.e. 'Duplicate Customers by Mobile Number'.I'd also prefer that the subform box is blank when the form is opened.
I'm trying to create an access database to make an inventory of my model trains.
I have a main entry form (frmTrain) where I enter all sorts of info regarding e.g. a locomotive. This info is then stored in a table (tblTrain).
In the main entry form, I've put a combo box (cmbCountries) linked to a query (qryCountries) which queries the country codes from a table (tblCountries) that has three fields:
ID (autonumber)
CountryCode (short text) (containing the country codes UK, FR, DE, ...)
FlagFile (short text) (containing the name of the flag picture, e.g. UK.png)
The flags are stored as *.png files in a folder Flags that is in the same folder as the database file. I have chosen this approach instead of putting the flag pictures in an OLE field in tblCountries because I'd like to avoid being stuck to *.bmp files (don't support transparency). I'd also like to avoid having to mention the complete file path in the field FlagFile
I created a form (frmCountries) to easily add countries to tblCountries as needed.
Now back to the main entry form. The selection made in cmbCountries is stored in the field 'Countries' in tblTrain. When a country is selected in cmbCountries, I'd like that the corresponding flag is displayed next to the combo box.
I found an example on the web where an image field was used to display the flag, let's say with the following code:
Private Sub cmbCountries_Change()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
and where the combo box had as row source (not using qryCountries):
SELECT tblCountries.ID, tblCountries.CountryCode, [Application].[CurrentProject].[path] & "Flags" & [FlagFile] AS Expr1 FROM tblCountries ORDER BY tblCountries.[Code];
The problem with this example is that, if you select in frmTrain e.g. UK, the UK flag is then displayed across all records in frmTrain. So the image field is not the appropriate field to display the flag in frmTrain and I guess an unbound/bound (?) object frame should rather be used.
How to display correctly the flag picture for every individual record in frmTrain corresponding to the country chosen in cmbCountries.
I am looking to generate a total number of a given column based on two criteria.I would like a label (or textbox if necessary) to display a given total of "Active" devices based on a given month.The table name is "Blackberry" and the specific columns I would like to check would be "Activated?" and "Registration Date". I'm not sure if I should be using a dsum or dcount and the error i keep getting is a type mismatch.an active device would have the text value of "Yes.
Dim advalue As Integer
advalue = DCount("[Activated?]", "Blackberry", "[Activated?]=yes" And "[Registration Date] > #01/01/2000#")
lblad.Caption = advalue
I'm trying to sort and filter a continuous form. I want to sort by descending and ascending, but I also want to have a combo box for filtering. For example, there a combo box for sorting with Value List as the RowSourceType, the list would be "Ascending" and "Descending", and there should be another combo box to choose the field to be sorted with RowSourceType as Field List from a query.
My field names are: "LastName", "FirstName", "MiddleName". But I want them to appear as "Last Name:, "First Name", "Middle Name". I want to be able to change the display of the field names within my combo box which should come from my query. How is that possible? I already tried to put caption in the properties but it didn't work.
I have a combo box that display three columns but I want the middle column to be the value that displays on the combo box after the selection not the first column. How do I achieve this ?
Project Name
Project Number
Project Description
I want the Project number to be displayed in the box after selection.
My intentions are to get my combo box to display data into a field in my form, when it is changed/selection is made. So far my form has the following:
Combobox: CBOCharacters
Field: CharacterGender
Both of these are in the same table; tbl_Characters. The data type for CBOCharacters is a number and its called CharacterID in the table.
So far I have created this piece of code:
Private Sub CBOCharacters_AfterUpdate()
Me.CharacterGender = DLookup("CharacterGender", "qry_StillNeeded", "[CharacterID]= " & Me.CBOCharacters)
End Sub
When I run this event procedure i get an error:
Runtime error '2471'
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error '[CharacterID]'
I'm working on a wine database (for ages now...). I'm currently struggling getting the following to work. I have a form in which one can select the name and vintage of a wine using a combo box, after which also a picture will be shown of that wine. I have the pictures as attachments in a table. One can then press a button to close this form and go to another form in which one can edit all the details of the selected wine. Problem: I can't get the picture to show.
I have a reasonably simple form with a combo box, a text box, a button and an attachment field in which a picture should show.
I made a query to select the id, name and vintage from the wine table. I couldn't select the attachment field for the pic in the wizard, so I added that myself in the Design View. The Query for the combo box now reads:
Code:
SELECT Wijn.Id, Wijn.Naam, Wijn.Vintage, Wijn.Plaatje FROM Wijn ORDER BY Wijn.[Naam], Wijn.[Vintage];
(translation: Naam = name | Plaatje = picture)
It neatly shows name and vintage in the drop down list. Once selected it only shows the name of the wine in the combo box and I use VBA to fill the Text Box with the vintage of the selected wine. The VBA I use is:
Code:
Private Sub cmbNaamWijn_Change()
Me.txtVintage.Value = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(2)
End Sub
All works fine. Also when I pres the button, the wine I selected opens up and can be editted and the select form nicely closes. The only problem is the fact that I cannot get the picture to show!
I inserted an attachment field with the name: attImage. In the VBA code I added the line:
Code:
Me.attImage.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
Doesn't work. With debugging I do see it gets the correct value form the table. I get an error message stating "Method or data member not found", so Picture is not available for the attachment object I guess. If I look at what is available, I can't select anything useful. So my next try was adding an image control with the name: ImageWine and the VBA code in the On Change property
Code:
Me.ImageWine.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
results in the following: Run-time error '2220'. Microsoft Access can't open the file '[FilenamePicture]'. Logical in a way I guess, since there's no path in there. I also tried the Bound Object Frame, but that resulted in the same problem as the attachment try described above.
I have a combo box(drop down box), it uses a select statment to get data.
I want to assign each choices (item) from the combo box to a label's caption.
for exmaple the comobo box has these choices (item)
______________
|drop down box|
apples
pears
grapes
melons
I want to have 4 labels each label will have caption equal to each item in the drop down box so we now have
apples as label 1's caption
pears as labe' 2's caption
grapes as label 3's caption
melons as label 4's caption
how might I be able to do this in VBA?
IS there a way to select an item from a combo box and the set the label's caption equal to that?
Something like:
combobox.item1.value = string1
combobox.item2.value = string2
combobox.item3.value = string3
combobox.item4.value = string4
label1.caption = string1
label2.caption = string2
label3.caption = string3
label4.caption = string4
thanks for any help you might be able to offer

I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.

I want to display a message on a label superimposed on top of all objects if certain conditions are met when selecting a record in a listbox. The label is normally invisible and only made visible when the condition is met. The label stays visinble for 2 seconds using the timer event.
All that I cannot do is display the label on top of the listbox, it always sits under it.
I have an option group, with of course the button where you select and beside that is the label name.
On click this runs a query but my boss only wants it to run when you hit the actual select button and not the label name.
how can I disable the label name or unreferenced this to the option.
I'm trying to change the name of the label in a form, upon opening the form in VBA... Which form event I should use for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn previous versions of Access, certainly up to 2003, if you used the Format Painter to copy the format of a control to another, if those controls had associated labels then the format - and more importantly positioning of the label relative to the control - were also copied over. So for example if you had a column of controls on a form, you could format the first control and align its label correctly etc, and then use the format painter to quickly make it consistent down the column.
Access 2010 doesn't seem to do this. If I use format painter on a control, the format of the control gets altered correctly, but the associated label does not move and its format does not change.
This is difficult where you have several controls and you want to position the label associated with each consistently.
I've added a label and field to a page on an existing form. However these are now also displayed on other pages on the same form.
