Forms :: Left And Right Keypress Not Using Arrows?

May 17, 2013

In my forms I would often like to move forward or back a records, usually a date by keyboard alone.

The keyboard arrows are good but they are normally used to navigate along a line etc.

Page Up & Down again better & often used for moving between records but do sometime need there native functions.

Trying to avoid changing the functions of these keys depending of what part fo the form I am on or current function I an doing.

It would have been great if there was a Alt Left or Ctrl Left that gave a different ansii.

Alt N - next, Alt P - previous, not pretty.

Forms :: Keypress Event In Subform

Apr 18, 2013

I have a form which consists of 20 similar subforms. The subform has only two fields.

When I want to go to the next subform, I use CTRL TAB

But I want to use only TAB.

I have tried a couple of things with the keypress event of that control, but cannot find a solution that works. What I would like:

- when the user is pressing TAB in the last field of a subform, that the program reacts like CTRL TAB and goes to the next subform.

Forms :: Keep Getting Up / Down Arrows In Control

Aug 11, 2015

I keep getting these annoying up/down arrows in the calculated control of a form. The top one is ok, but the bottom one has these. How do I get rid of them.

I've checked the alignment on the control properties in the form and the settings are the same in the table field properties.

Search By Keypress In Combo

Sep 6, 2005

Hi
I was wondering if it is possible if I press a key on the keyboard say 'c' once I've opened the combo box, that I will be taken to name in the SECOND COLUMN that begins with c. At the moment if I was to press 'c' it will take me to a unique identifier that begins with c as the unique identifiers are in the FIRST column not in the second.

Can anyone help me?

Cheers

Custom Combo Keypress Entry

Mar 28, 2006

hey guys, i have this code which will let you type into a combo box "db" and it will pick out the selection "Die Cut / Back Slit". the following code works except for an error message coming up before it goes into the code.

"the text you entered isnt an item in the list"

anyone know how i can get around this? i tried turning warnings off on the sub but it seems to happen by default before the sub?


Code:Private Sub cmbCut_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)' if pressed not enter or tab , add to a string then select value from entered chars'enter or tab key pressed (added delete and space keys to miss adding to string)If KeyAscii <> 13 And KeyAscii <> 9 And KeyAscii <> 8 And KeyAscii <> 32 Then enteredChars = enteredChars & Chr(KeyAscii)Else DoCmd.SetWarnings False Select Case enteredChars ' get letters entered and set value from combo Case "S" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(0) Case "B" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(1) Case "D" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(2) Case "DB" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(3) Case "T" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(4) Case "F" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(5) Case "FS" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(6) Case "FC" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(7) Case "FSC" Me.cmbCut.Value = Me.cmbCut.ItemData(8) Case Else 'do nothing End Select enteredChars = "" DoCmd.SetWarnings TrueEnd IfEnd Sub

Yet Another Keypress/input Mask Question For The Forum

Jul 7, 2006

Yea yea I know, another one...
But the way I see is that I haven't asked them all so its ok... :p

Right basically, I only want to allow input of Y N or P into a text field. I thought it would be best to do it with an onkeypress event as I know of no way to block certain characters in a text field with an input mask.. this is what I came up with but it doesnt seem to work...

If Not KeyPress=78 Or Not KeyPress=80 Or Not KeyPress=89 Then KeyPress = 0

Any ideas?

Can You Disable Combo Box Arrows? If Not, Any Other Ideas For My Case?

Apr 13, 2005

I would like to have a combo box that doesn't show the drop-down arrow when the user selects it. You say, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the combo box?

Well, look. In a form I have a datasheet (in a subform) that only displays data, so it is locked from editing. Within the datasheet is a field that contains a combo box with a row source from a linked table, and the control source of that combo box is the primary key. Essentially I'm utilizing the combo box because it is smart, and allows me to display linked data: this combo box contains two columns, and I set the first column's width to "0" so that it would only display the field I want. I didn't use a subform because, in datasheet view, subform fields are not displayed in the linear fashion I need, but instead go hide under the "+" button for each record.

So, even though everything is locked from editing, the combo box arrow still appears when the user clicks on the combo box field, and I don't want it to. It's just misleading to the user. Anyone know how to disable the arrows? Or, if you catch my drift, do you know of another simple solution?

I'm not a keen programmer in case you couldn't figure that out. If you've got any VB tips then let me know.

Hiding Drop Down Arrows In A Printable Form

Aug 23, 2006

Hi

I am compiling a database of my fire system 'engineers reports' by creating a form that is identical to the one that I print and give to the customer.
I used combo boxes to look up system type details, from another table, after inputting the serial number. As these combo boxes can only produce one value I hid the arrows behind background coloured rectangles.

When I print the form the arrows disappear, the combo boxes expand by the width of the arrow and the last 2 digits of right-aligned numbers disappear behind my rectangles.

This form has over 200 controls (systems types, parts used numbers and quantities etc) and I need to print it on a single sheet of paper. I cannot afford to leave extra space between my controls.
The only thing I can think of is setting the visible property of my rectangles to screen only, which is not ideal.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Left Join

Nov 21, 2005

Hi
I am trying to use left join on the following tables.
Employees
----------
EMPLOYEE_ID
FIRST_NAME
LAST_NAME

and

Weekly_Timesheets
-------------------
EMPLOYEE_ID
WEEK_NO
YEAR_NO
TOTAL_HOURS_WORKED

All I want is to pull all the employees with their corresponding total worked hours. There are cases when some employees forget to fill their time sheets in a week and might not have entries in weekly_timesheets table. Since I want all the employees irrespective of whether they have a record in weekly_timesheets or not I am using left join.

The left join I am using is as follows:

SELECT EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID,
WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.TOTAL_HOURS_WORKED
FROM EMPLOYEES
LEFT JOIN WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS
ON WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.EMPLOYEE_ID = EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID
AND WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.WEEK_NO = 46;


The moment I am trying to execute this statement Access is crashing. I couldn't figure out what am I doing wrong.

Kind Regards
Bhanu

Left Join?

Jun 22, 2006

Hi Guys

I'm kind of a newbie to Access but am learning :D
I've found myself stuck with a join statement

I have 2 tables: tblFleet & tblService

I need to find the most recent service date from tblService for each entry under tblFleet....

This is my code thus far, but it shows all the records for both tables where the fleet_Num field is equal....

SELECT tblFleet.Fleet_Num, tblFleet.In_Yard, tblService.SrvDate
FROM tblFleet LEFT JOIN tblService ON tblFleet.Fleet_Num = tblService.Fleet_Num
ORDER BY tblService.SrvDate DESC;

Left Join

May 8, 2007

Simple exlusion query:

SELECT tblEmployees.EmployeeID, tblEmployees.LicenceNo, tblTimeSheet.ShiftDate, tblEmployees.FirstName, tblEmployees.LastName
FROM tblEmployees LEFT JOIN tblTimeSheet ON tblEmployees.EmployeeID = tblTimeSheet.EmployeeID
WHERE (((tblTimeSheet.EmployeeID) Is Null));

errrr nope it doesnt work.. and that is direct from the wizard...

I have a work around but it is inelegant not to mention not workable..

what i need to do is filter on a shift date as i need to see what employees are not rostered on particular dates..

what i have had to do is make a query selecting base data from timesheet and filter the date at that point... make another query to do the left join.. again not elegant... to make a report i would somehow have to programmatically adjust the filter on the date.. too hard basket and will be too slow when i have a copious amount of data in 12 months... anyone know what the hell is wrong?
