Forms :: How To Make Column Width On A Subform Match Property Settings
Mar 19, 2015
I've set the column widths properly on the subform, but the down arrow on the list box is still outside of the selection area. It may have something to do with lookups or concatenations, but I'm not finding that so in what I can think of to trace down.
I exaggerated the width of the list box to show where the down arrow actually shows itself.
See the form "frm_Class_Skills_Update" in the attached database. I need it to be visible when the list box is about 1.25" more narrow.
In an .ACCDE I want to store the column widths when user closes a datasheet form (or subform) so that when opening it anew, the widths are as previously set by user. I could store this data in a dedicated table ( and userID, for the multiuser db), but is there a smarter way? Some array/ dictionary/ whatever as database or form property?
Is it possible to make it so that whatever the dimensions of the image i paste the OLE object's frame will also be the same? I'm having a problem, not necessarily a problem more like a preference, I'm inserting pictures of each individual inside a database and whomever last took these pictures didn't make sure there was a standard size So all the images are different sizes and when they're put inside the OLE frame you can see the image inside it but the frame itself also shows its white background because the image isn't the full dimensions of the frame. I was thinking if it's possible to make the frame automatically adjust to the image's width & height.
This is getting into some stratospheric territory for me.
I am trying to change the visibility property of a label and corresponding text box, based on the contents of a different combo box. cboHow is a combo box that uses a value list as its row source, since the content of the list won't change. There are three fields that I need when the content of cboHow = "FIS". Otherwise I don't need them and I don't want to see them. My code is below:
Private Sub txtFISDepartmentNumber_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If cboHow <> "FIS" Then lblFISDepartmentNumber.Visible = False txtFISDepartmentNumber.Visible = False Else: lblFISDepartmentNumber.Visible = True txtFISDepartmentNumber.Visible = True End Sub
At the moment there is no error code, but the label and text field don't respond by becoming visible/invisible when the contents of cboHow changes. Do I put this code with the txtFISDepartmentNumber or in cboHow? and do I use BeforeUpdate or AfterUpdate? Should I have a separate If..Then..Else for the label and the text box?
I have been playing around with this for several hours now and seem to be going in circles.
I would likw for my first and last name fields width to match the length of the name. So if the last name is Smith then the field width will resize itself to fit perfect fit the name. Then if I have a last name of Connor then it will grow to fit it perfect. I dont need this but it will be nice so everything looks a bit nicer an cleaner. I thought the following would have worked:
It's been a while since I last used Access but now I need to be reminded how to populate a sub-form with all rows for a query (Access 2013).
- Do I need to establish a relationship between Table A (main form) and Table B (sub-form)? - What sub-form properties need to be set to display all retrieived rows from the main form query (select where Table A PK = Table B PK)?
I have a form with a subform that i've displayed as a datasheet. I'm wondering if there is anyway to fix the column width so it cannot be changed when the form is open.
I'm looking for a work around for getting the bound column setting for a combo box to work. I created a simple table with 2 fields that i have a combo box pointed to. My settings for the combo box are
Column count 2 Bound column 2
The first field is "Description" The 2nd field is "ID"
I cannot figure out how to have column 2 to be the value that is left in the combo box once I have made my selection.
One of the Tables in my membership database is named [WaitList] and has a linked Form.
The Form is configured to pull data from another Table named [Groups]. The fields are [Group ID], [Group name] and [Leader].plus others from a second Table.
When the [Group name] is selected from a Form Combo Box it succesfully records the [Group ID] in the Form and Table, but repeats the [Group ID] in the [Group Name] column of the Table. I am convinced that the problem lies with the Column Width setting on the Property Sheet which is currently set at 0;2.54, but trying various combinations has not solved the problem.
The Row Source for the [Group Name] field is ; SELECT [Groups].[Group ID], [Groups].[Group Name], [Groups].[Leader] from [Groups] and the Column Count is set at 1 (2nd in Table)
I believe the [Leader] field is a different problem in that the Form correctly finds the ID and the Name but not the Leader. I have checked the property sheet for anomalies, but without success.
I have built this type of Table/Form relationship many times but have failed on this occasion.
How to adjust the column width of the fields to best fit in a Query using vba codes? Manually it can be done by selecting the Query - Click on More dropdown of the Reports section in the ribbon - Click on Column width - and select best fit as the option.I want this to happen by a vba code and not manually doing it everytime because the field length changes as it is a dynamically created Query.
This doesn't happen on all my other Frm/subfrms that I have. Only this one and I can't figure out why.
I have a main form with a datasheet subform and a detail subform on it. The detail subform works fine until I filter on the datasheet.
Both forms use the same view.
But, when I filter on the datasheet form, the filter on the bottom of the 2nd subform turns on and I can't unfilter it. I can't figure out what it's trying to filter. If I can figure out how this is happening, I can prevent it and then the subform will just reflect the record selected from the datasheet. This doesn't happen with any other datasheet/detail form that I have.
I have a report that fits nicely onto one A4 page.
Then I had to add an ID column to be able to sort by ID (would not sort by ID unless I added the column to contain the record ID numbers, even though the query on which the report is based is sorted by ID).
Because I added another column (on the right hand side) to contain the ID column, it's gone over the A4 size and so prints a second page with the ID column on it.
So I hid the ID column, but a second page still prints, just with nothing on it.
I don't want to shrink any of the columns to make the ID column fit as the report is crowded already.
I tried setting the ID column header and content to Display When: Screen Only, but that doesn't work, it still prints the second blank page.
How can I stop that second page printing? I don't want to just print page one as sometimes the report is more than one page of data.
In Excel you can set the print area. Is there a similar setting in Access? I can't find one.
Being physically disabled & using a headpointed to type & point to things on the screen so-so often I need to adjust my column width. How I can create a short cut/hot key to prompt the Column Width command?
Is there a way to use a convert use a "text to column" function in access that separates at a fixed width?I have an access table (that I can't change) that includes the data and time in the same column and I want to separate the two (date and time) in a query. I can't use the "Left" function because my date isn't a consistent 10 characters.
I have stored data in access. The records have name, address and unique Id. I want to be able to extract the unique ID from the Access database for all those records that match the name and address in any new file that I compare my Database with.
I am using access 2010. I have "classlevel" table with 2 columns-Class and Value1 .Value1 column has numeric values that i ll input from webpage (webpage to ms access connectivity).I want to sum the values of column "Value1" and i have another table-"Volume" which has 2 columns "VolumeLevel" and "Value2". So i want to match the sum that i calculated from first table-"ClassLevel" with the "value2" column in "Volume" table and get the corresponding "volumelevel" column value from that table and there is a third table that will get this volumelevel value.
There is no common column to join these tables.
Classlevel-
Class Value1 Class 0 3000 Class 1 2000 Class 2 300 Class 3 400 Class 4 500
I am having trouble with a make-table query. I run a query that populates my website with data daily. I have a bunch of fields in the db that I wanted to be displayed as one field on the website, so in my query I concatenated them. My website is able to distinguish which fields are text and which are memos so I can display multiple lines. Everytime I run the query, it creates the concatenated field as a text field. Is there a way I can default this to a memo type?
I have developed an Access app, which has different navigational tabs which open up different forms. e.g. Tab A has Form A inside it and Form A has SubForm A1 inside it.
For some reason, the following code is not working on any of the fields Me.YourFieldName.ColumnWidth = -2...
What to do that all the fields in the subforms will have auto width adjustable to fit in the text.
I have parent-child one to many data in one pair of relationships, and now I've been asked to see be able to find out what matches a defined regimen; each is also defined in a parent-child relationship.
Best is to show sample data. I'm going to show them as two tables, but the "Components" are actually in a parent-child relationship, e.g.,
PersonList -= Meds Regimen -= Meds as well
Note that PersonList and Regimen do not really have any relation; we just want to see if things are being done one of the ways they are "supposed" to be done, without a slow manual check. It's worked as set up for reports, and I really don't want to change everything to a big long list of fields, one field per med for a lot of reasons (not least of which is that is denormalizing)
Quy 1 Result: PersList T1Component Andrew Med 1 Andrew Med 2 Brett Med 1 Brett Med 3 Brett Med 4 Charles Med 2 Duane Med 1 Duane Med 4
Quy 2 Result Regimen T2Component Goody1 Med 1 Goody1 Med 3 Goody1 Med 4 Goody2 Med 1 Goody2 Med 2
I'd like to be able to do two queries - one that are "OK" one that are not. Don't need to replicate the med list, just the regimen if matching..
"Good" would return Person Regimen Andrew Goody2 (he has med 1, 3, and 4) Brett Goody1 (he has med 1 and 2)
"Bad" would return Person Charles Duane
What they "almost match" does not matter; it tells people which ones we need to check into a bit more.

I use the following code in my application to select a particular column value in a list box..
myvalue = SearchResults_LB.Column(5, i)
In my computer the column count starts with 0. So, the above statement sets the myvalue to the 6th column. But when I install the same application on an other computer it sets myvalue to 5th column.
Looks like I need to set the base value of the listbox column property somewhere!
I Have a main form called table one has 3 fields an autonumber as primary key and i have a subform called table 2 has 3 fields one an autonumber a primary key , second is an integer which is equal to table 1 primary key, and third is a text with default value set to N/A
i want when the user enter info in the main form and save it, the subform automatially add new record and save it with default settings..so far what s happening , that the related field in the subform to the main, is getting change but record is not getting save in the table 2
