Forms :: How To Change Column Widths In Datasheet View
Jan 2, 2014
I am using Access 2013 (but I assume that the solution for Access 2010 will apply).
Here is the situation:
1. I have a simple datasheet form with three columns
2. I need to adjust the column widths so that all the text is visible
3. When I adjust the column widths, save the form, close the form, and re-open the form, the column widths reset
4. I need the column widths to either 1) stay the same as they previously were, or 2) be wide enough to fit all the text in each field

Hello, all.
I need to use a datasheet view for a subform, but I can't seem to find how to keep users from editing the column widths within the view. Help?
THANKS!
Tom

I have a subform in which I display a table in Datasheet View. The problem is, I cannot figure out how to place the columns in the order (i.e. from left to right) I want.
For some reason, right-clicking on a column header in Form View and selecting Freeze Fields will shift that column to the left but I can find no consistent pattern to it and no other way of shifting a column. Reordering the columns in the table itself seems to have no effect on the order they appear on the subform and moving the controls around in the subform in Design View also seems to have no effect.

I created some forms in datasheet view. Now I want to change the datasheet properties (background color, text color...): the problem is that the forms I create with the new properties are displayed as I want, but the old forms are displayed with the old properties.
Does it exist a command to open the old forms/subforms with the new properties or do I have to re-create all the old forms?

I have a crosstab query of which I cannot sort a Totals column by descending order. Is there any way to sort a certain column automatically after the query runs and is in Datasheet view?

tell me if it is possible to calculate a value in a column in a datasheet view of a query. i.e. I want to take a value in 'Column A' and subtract the value in 'Column B' to create a value in 'Column C'?

We are using a data sheet view to display the content of a table of colors, we would like one of the columns to display a colour chip of the RGB value it contains,
example
Color Name RGB Value Color Chip
White 255,255,255

I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.

hello all,
I was wondering whether there is an "easy" way to make the column widths of a list box to adjust to the largest peice of data under it.... without filling it in yourself in the design view... So in VB....
I know that there is the property COLUMNWIDTHS, and that you can adjust it by calling that property..
But how to make it the column width to adjust automatically to the largest piece of text in that column??
Any ideas would be welcome...
tnx
Zurvy

i have a subform on a form with Source Object="Query.myquery", my form is generating a sql string dynamically and assigning this sql string to the RecordSource property which works fine. But now if the user changes the width of the columns in the subform and close the form , a prompt is thrown asking if the "myquery" needs to be saved. I dont want to save the settings of "myquery" but at the same time avoid this modal dialog. If i use DoCmd.SetWarnings=False , i dont see the warning anymore BUT the query gets saved.
I am using "myquery" to just display column names in the subform when the forms loads and also without it i cant directly use RecordSource property in my code.
any suggestions?

I have recently added a subform to a form and wish to display the subform in Datasheet view. Whilst I can get the proper data and headings to display, I cannot figure out how to get the column widths to persist. I can adjust the column widths while in (main) form view right on the subfirm columns themselves but after I save and reload the main & subform form, the widths revert to some sort of default value.
I have also tried adjusting the columns in the subform's associated data table itself as well as adjusting the text box widths when the subform is displayed in Form view but it does not affect the column widths when the subform displays Datasheet view.
What is more annoying is that I have another subform in which I was able to make the Datasheet view column widths persist but I don't seem to be able to properly recall how I did it.

I've set a form's default view to "Datasheet.
When I open the form the property sheet opens also.
Is this normal behavior?? If so why?

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.

I want to avoid the properties list to pop out when a form is viewed in dsview. I remember there was a property to set that but I cannot find it.

I have a form in datasheet view, with a date column. When I filter for last week it gives me all the entries for that week, but when I try and filter on a single day it only gives me 1 entry even though I know there are several entries for that day. Why would it be doing this? It also is the same when I go directly to the table and try to filter. I know the underlying data that was imported is a full date and time stamp, which I'm displaying as just the date portion, but surely it should show me all that are on a particular date, not just 1?
Just checked to see whether it would give me "yesterday", and while it seem to be able to when I checked 2 days ago, now it's not even giving me those.

I have a form. On this form is a tab control with 5 tabs. Four of these tabs have subforms on them. The 5th tab is sort of a "settings" page. What I would like to do is have a button on the 5th tab, that toggles the subforms on the other four pages between the regular form view, and datasheet view.I know I can use the "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSubformDatasheet" to do this, however I am unsure as to how to apply it to the subforms on the other tabs. They aren't "in focus" so the command won't work properly.

I'm trying to open a form in datasheet view using the following code
Code:
Private Sub Run_Activity_Duration_Totals_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm ("frm_Activity_Duration_Totals_25_Hours"), AcFormView = acFormDS
End Sub
I keep getting a message saying
Compile Error: Type Mismatch
and the equals sign is highlighted in my code.

I've created a Navigation Form and one of my tabs brings up another form bla bla but what I want is to bring this form up in datasheet view...is there a setting for this or due I have to create a query to get the look that I want?...
The Form that I attached to the tab when opening it up by itself (out of the Nav form) comes up in a datasheet type format,and when I open it up in design view it changes from the datasheet type format to texts boxes stacked on top of each other. This is also how it opens up in the Nav form...
Does it have to do with how the form I'm putting in the nav form was created?...style wise...

I have read various answers on how to open a form in Datasheet view from VBA code, but I can't get my syntax correct.
Here is one of my 50 attempts to guess at the format. Removing different components, separators, variables only gets me a syntax error of missing separator or "expected =".
DoCmd.OpenForm ("frm_OrdersHOTHeadersOnlyWORKSHEET", [View as acFormView=acFormDS], , , , ,[acFormEdit])

I have a few forms - one search form (frm_main_search) which uses a basic datasheet view as a subform (subfrm_main_search), and one form which I launch from the subform (via a double click event) for the user record - frm_user_record.If I search for a user, then select them from the datasheet view query results, I can launch the user record as frm_user_record.
However if I then change anything on the user's record, I go to search for another user in the database and get the Write Conflict dialog. See my attached screenshot for a view of my form.I've changed the data of one of the visible records on the data sheet, so it needs to reload the data. However I'd like to suppress this error as I'm dealing with hundreds of these a day and it also confuses some of our less tech savvy users.
I ALWAYS click "Drop Changes" and encourage my users to do this too but is there a way of preventing this dialog from appearing?

I m having a subform in datasheet view. whn i use a join query as the record source for the sub form, i am not able to add or update any record in the datasheet. Is there anyway to use a linked query as record source of the datasheet with editable property.

Some background: I have a subform that is displayed in datasheet view, with an unbound textbox (field1) whose sole purpose is to pass the date and time entered into it to field2 (hidden, bound), and also display that info in this format: ddhhnn"Z" mm yy. The inputmask for field1 is 000000"Z ">LLL�0 which forces the user to enter the date/time using the ddhhnn"Z" mm yy format. I use field1's AfterUpdate event to convert its contents into a format (dd/MMM/yy hh:mm) that field2 can easily recognize as a date and time.
My problem: The only way I've figured out to get field1 to display field2's date and time is to use the subform's OnCurrent event:
Code:
Me.field1 = Format([Field2], "ddhhnn""Z ""mmm yy")
However, by doing that, whenever I click on a record's row the entire field1 column populates with the current record's field1 value. So, if I click on record 2's row, the entire field1 column populates with "101200Z JUN14" for every record. If I click on record 3's row, the entire field1 column populates with "111232Z JUN14" for every record. And so on and so forth.
How can I stop field1 from populating with the same value for every record?
