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 a list box that is populated based on a table. now I have three labes that are also added to the form. What I will like to do is....
ListBox (3 colums) On Double Click (listbox) Set Label1 to the First Column.text in the list box Set Label2 to the Second Column.text in the list box Set Label3 to the Third Column.text in the list box
What i'm looking for is a way to update my labes based on the selection I make in the list box. kind of like a confirmation.
On Double click it will show on label and it will act as a confirmation. This customer(record) has been selected!
If there is another way to kind of show this same functionality please tell. I'm kind of new at Access but a master in Excel so I'm not affraid of VBA.
So I have a Form (frmPositions) with a subform attached (fsubPosSkill).They are linked through Position ID frmPositions Record Source is qryPositionNeeds
Code: SELECT tblPositionNeeds.PositionNeedsID, tblPositionNeeds.PositionID, tblPositions.Position, tblPositionNeeds.NeedsID, tblNeeds.NeedStatus FROM tblPositions INNER JOIN (tblNeeds INNER JOIN tblPositionNeeds ON tblNeeds.NeedID = tblPositionNeeds.NeedsID) ON tblPositions.PositionID = tblPositionNeeds.PositionID;
It has two texts boxes on it [PositionID] and [NeedID]
I made a blank form, created everything on my form then added a header to put the title etc in and tried to view it using form view and the header isn't appearing. What do I need to change?
I have a report that generates 100 items in alphabetical order. All of the items are also displayed in a table. I have a bound form attached to the that table, and when the items appear they are not in alphabetical order. Therefore, it is a hassle typing in the data when the form will not appear in order, because instead of going in order I am flipping through pages. What is causing this to happen? And what can I do to fix this?
When a query returns no records, the form appears blank. How can I make the form appear eventhough there are no records to show prior to inputting data.
I have drop down list linked to table included "agent names" , the names appeared normally in the form but not Alphabetic (A-Z) although the table was alphabetic .
I am having a problem updating a record on a table called BookInTable . The field I want to update is called Engineer and the record is found using the field Barcode. I have a form with 2 text boxes BarTxt and EngTxt as well as a button called SaveBtn. on the OnClick event of the SaveBtn I put the following code
Code:
Private Sub SaveBtn_Click() If IsNull(Me![BarTxt]) Or (Me![BarTxt]) = "" Then MsgBox "Please enter a value!", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Search Criterion!" Me![BarTxt].SetFocus Exit Sub End If
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update BookInTable SET Engineer = " & Me!EngTxt & " WHERE BarCode ='" & Me![BarTxt] & "'"
End Sub
But this is bringing up the enter Parameter value dialog box for whatever I type into EngTxt. If I enter text into that box and then click okay it then updates to the record. how can I stop the from enter Parameter value dialog box appearing?
I am using the selections made of the form to generate a query for the user.
I have a CITIES listbox that is populated with values from a stored query.
I would like to make it multi-select and populate a LOCATIONS list box and a NAMES list box based upon the CITIES that are selected.
I have the locations currently populated from a stored query that reads the City selection from the Form. It looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) AS Expr1 FROM t_location INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_location.LOCATION_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.LOCATION WHERE (((t_location.CITY)=[Forms]![MasterQueryGenerator]![CityList]));
I also want multi-select so that is you can un-select all and get the results for all cities.
Here is my half thought approach.
Code:
Private Sub CityList_AfterUpdate() 'Dim LocQryStr As String 'Dim r As Integer 'Dim ctl9 As Control 'LocQryStr = "SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) " & _
[Code] ...
I intended to have the variable LocQryStr as the row source but I abandoned the idea of having multi-select when I saw that .Selected(I) never returned true. Its like the values aren't read in this subroutine.
I have a list box called "product list box" based on a query called "searchqry", i also have another listbox called "type list box" , how do i get the type list box to only show "types" based on the section in products list box?
1. On my main form, I have a listbox, I would like to edit the values of the listbox.
To do this, I have a popup form with 2 listboxes, one to have the values of the listbox on the main form, and the other listbox with option values for the 1st
1) how to i pass the rowsource sql of the listbox on the main form to the listbox on the popup form
2) how on closing the popup form, do i update the rowsource sql listbox on the main form from the changed value of the popup form listbox rowsource sql
Okay then, after much trouble and confusion, I finally realized I need to use an Extended listbox in order to allow for multiple items to be selected from a list on my form (rather than the evil multiple selection combobox!).
However, now I am trying to figure out how to make one listbox (IndustryClassification) only be visible if the item "Industry" is selected in another listbox (TypeOfBusiness). Coding I can use for this in the AfterUpdate event of the listbox?
Firstly, is it possible to hide unchecked values in a listbox? I have a user with several roles and I want to only show the ticked roles in the listbox.
Secondly, can you create a hyperlink on listbox values? i.e, if I click on "Manager" in the roles listbox, it follows that to another form and opens the record about managers?
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....
In 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 created a number of graphs on forms that graph GamesSold vs RDate. If a game has no sales, there won't be any data. Is there a way I can add a label that will automatically display "Game is not yet released" and make it dependant upon the graph having data, and invisible if it does?
I have an access form of locations to manage (that are labelled Loc-01, Loc-02, Loc-03) and I'd like a label that automatically shows which record is currently open (rather than a text box). Is this possible? Or if that's not possible, I don't want the textbox to be editable in the form.
I have several forms that each has a dozen or more checkboxes, true/false. I want to be able to change the background color of the label of each checkbox depending on if the checkbox is true or false. I have used the following code which works great:
If Me.A = True Then Me.lblA.BackColor = vbYellow Me.lblA.BackStyle = 1 Me.lblA.ForeColor = vbRed Else Me.lblA.BackColor = vbWhite Me.lblA.ForeColor = vbBlack End If
Me.A refers to T/F checkbox A and Me.lblA refers to its label. This is repeated for each of the checkbox controls. If the control is [B], then its label is lblB. I have used this in the form OnCurrent event and the checkbox control OnUpdate event. I was wondering if I could use the tag property to this, saving me writing countless lines of code and having the OnCurrent event of each of the forms so long and cumbersome. And I do know that I can use conditional formatting to do this, but I would prefer not to use that method. Is there any way to do this using the tag property and not so many lines of code?
Using Access 2010. I have a form on which I've placed a simple label. I try to set the label border color to black but it shows grey. I can set the border color to #000000 and it's grey. I set it to #000001 and it shows black as expected.
I'm thinking it has something to do with the themes, but shouldn't an exact color code show as expected? As a new member (<10 posts) I can't post an actual link, but here's the text of the location: [URL] ....
So I have a bound form with the following onload code:
Code: 'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function Dim Completed As Double
[code]...
This works fine and set the caption and color of a label on this form.On this form I have several (now only a few, but in the end probably 40 controls or so) which will get updated by the user. When any of these controls are updated, I want the label lblpercentCompleted to get updated with the propper caption and color, however I am having trouble doing this.
I have an afterupdate event on each control with the same code as the onload code, however the message box below appears but the label does not update.
Code: Private Sub TransferDieCutsOn_AfterUpdate() MsgBox "Updating Label" 'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function Dim Completed As Double
