I'm a newbie using Access 2007.I am trying to make things as easy as possible for the user of a database that I have been working on. The users maximum screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and I want to have specific forms automatically "maximise" to fit the screen.I have set the Form property "Fit to Screen=Yes" but it does not do what I am expecting and want.I also have "Auto Resize=Yes"
View RepliesI have some trouble getting a form to open maximized. This form is opening from a switchboard that is centered and not sizable. After clicking on a command button in the switchboard the form I am having trouble with opens in its own window, but I cannot get it to maximize automatically. I have been to every setting I know on the form properties but for some reason nothing seems to be able to get that form to open maximized.:confused:
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!

how to maximize the form when you load it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want my Switchboard, and all subsequent forms to be maximized on open...so that the form name doesn't show. Is that possible?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form that maximizes when it loads and that works fine, but when I run a macro to open it the command is bypassed. Is there a way around this?
I've tried setting the code to run on different events (open/activate) but that didn't change anything.
The reason I want a Macro to open it is so I can set the property to Add only, perhaps there's another way I can do that, perhaps as part on the form open event in VBA instead?
I have a Form [frmLogon] which opens on db open to allow users to logon, once they have entered their username and password they click a cmdbutton which then minimises [frmLogon] and opens form [Navigation Menu].
On close of form [Navigation Menu] how can I get [frmLogon] to restore to its original open state from being minimised.By the way i have to keep [frmLogon] open as it provides an OpenArgs reference to another form for security data!
I have built a database which has a number of forms with a frm_PartNo subform in.When ever I click a button to load one of these forms I get the following error message: ECN Database v1.31 cannot find the referenced form 'frm_PartNo'. But when the form loads the sub form is there with all the related data !
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem filtering a form on load.What I am trying to say is if the role = Agent then filter on todays completed records and records that have a completed date of Null for the particular agent.
Here is the code:
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then
AgentFilter = "(CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "')"
DateCompletedFilter = "((DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "#)OR (DATECOMPLETED Is Null))"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter & " And " & DateCompletedFilter
Exit Sub
End If
The filter on the agents works and the filter on the completed date of null apeears to work however when a record is completed it diappears on refreshing of the form even though the record has been completed on todays date.I have investigated the code an the issue appears to be with the DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "# part of the code.
I'm trying to open a specific set of records when the form is first opened (namely the most recent date that was added). I'm trying something along these lines and am simply unable to get it to work:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strQry As String
strQry = DMax("TranDte", "Transaction")
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmSalesInp", acNormal, "", "[Transaction]![TranDte]="
& strQry, , acNormal
End Sub
When i make the maximized on opening by docmd.maximize, coud i get the form centered too?
right now im just adding form space on the leftside so it comes somewhere in the middle but if somone has a diffrent ressolution then it wont work as well.
I need to execute some VBA to load a new form in my navigation view, not a popup form.
If use DoCmd.OpenForm "DB History" it opens the form as a new form.
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "DB History" set the focus on the DB History navigation button but doesn't open it.
So I think I need to add the path.
'DoCmd.BrowseTo ObjectType:=acBrowseToForm, ObjectName:="DB History", 'PathToSubformControl:="??"
This is where I am stuck.
My main form is Navigation Form1
The sub ins NavigationSubForm
and the form loaded is Form1 which I would like to replace with DB History
Is there a way to add default text on a form when it loads via vba?
I have a form (frm_add_targets), which has 15 fields on it and I would like to add default text to these fields if the field should be null.
For example: one of my form fields is called: w_text1 and I would like to default the value of this field to the following: Significant amount of revenue at risk 1)<50k,2)up to .5mil,3)up to 3mil,4)up to 5 mil,5)>5 mil should it be empty on load,
I am trying to create a multi-user web-based database where all users log-in and see different forms based on a field in the user table.
I am trying to use a DLookup to return the name of the Form I want open based on the command box that shows the userID and UserName
DoCmd.OpenForm , acNormal, DLookup("field", "table", "[UserID]=" & Me.cboName.Value)
cboName row source
SELECT [table].[UserID], [table].[UserName] FROM table ORDER BY [UserID]
I have a form which is for searching for and then viewing a record based on a text box and pressing enter. This is working fine. My ID field is 4 digits and when I change the 4 digits and press enter it shows me the details for the record in all of the other boxes:
Private Sub txtJobID_AfterUpdate()
If (txtJobID & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
[code] ....
My question is, as this is not a data entry / additions / deletions form (I have editing and filters to yes though) How do I get it to load empty? Not on a new or blank record but empty until I have typed my 4 digits. Just to clarify, my txtJobID box is empty on load but all of the other fields show the first record.
i have employee form to insert employee information one of its text box on click another form open of schools name where i can select the school work how can i pass selected school name to the main form
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a bound form to an invoices table. The form details all invoices raised, all payments made and an outstanding balance. The outstanding balance control is just a basic text box.
On form load, I go to the payment table and select all payments into a recordset, I then add up all payments and use the following calculation:-
Balance = InvTotal - paytotal
The Invtotal is the control on the form that has it's control source set as sum(invoicetotal)
The calculation used to work and the correct balance was displayed, indeed, for one particular client, the calculation works, but for all others, the summed value is blank and so the balance is effectively set to the paytotal value.
I know this is to do with the timing as the form loads and it's records/data are made available, as I have an update button that does exactly the same things as the form load and when pressed, all numbers work.....primarily because the summed invoicetotal value is now available in the form control.
I can see what is happening, but not sure why...I thought that form load gave you all records and would have populated the summed control before triggering the load event....obviously not.....
im try to close a form called "new job" and re-maxmise Form "main switch board"
i have manage to get my pop up form "main switch Board to minmise with Macro but unsure how to recall it when "new job" closed
I have designed a form using the wizard from a table which records transactions for an entity.
I have a Primary Key (auto number), entity id, transaction amount, description and date fields in the table.
I look up the entity using a list box, then populate unbound fields then use CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO in order to save the new record.
When I open the form for use, it automatically changes the entity id of a previously added record to the most recently selected entry in the list box. I am unsure why it does this. It seems to be editing previous records when you change the value of the list box.
I've got a DB, which has 3 forms ( all 'under' 3 navigation buttons/tabs ). The main form ( Client's form ) is set to show first, and currently has a recordsource of about 1350 records. I think the size of the recordsource, and the fact it 'loads' the other two forms all 'in one go', is slowing it down ( between 5 and 10 secs. to load ).
I read I should set the Visible properties of forms, not shown immediately, to false, only setting them to True in the On_Load event - when Tab is selected. Ideal I thought. However, I can't find this property in the Form's property sheet.
I have created a form with a list view (active-x) to be able to control colors, etc in a list.
When I open my form, it is already information (three rows) in the list view. This despite the fact that I have shut down the access application and even shifted the database to another computer.
I can of course delete the elements with ListItems.Clear when I open the form, but I'd rather like that they did not show up at all.
Where these "default-elements" are stored, so I can remove them from the list view once and for all?
I have a form that I populate after making selections in two combo boxes but when I load the form the text boxes are already filled in with the first record. The combo boxes load blank, which is what I want.
How do I get the rest of the form to be blank on load? It is made up of text boxes and check boxes that are all bound. Will this only work if they are unbound?
When you open a form in datasheet view, the default ribbon is of course the "Datasheet" tab. I would rather have the "Home" tab ribbon open up, because I have one field in this form set up as hyperlinks to open another form, so the filter and search buttons would be more useful to the user. I'd rather not go to the trouble to create a custom ribbon, so is there anyway to set the default ribbon tab to "Home" when you load the form? There is a ribbon property for the form, but I don't know the reference name for the tab.
View 5 Replies View RelatedBasically I want to put a code in the "on load" event of a form that enables or disables navigation buttons based on a value in a table (the table has 1 record and 1 column).
So if the value is "A", I want to hide navigation buttons on load; if it is "B", I want to show navigation buttons on load.
I know I can set this property in each form, but I have a number of forms that I want to configure at the same time.
My problem is that I don't know how to reference the value in the table.
I have a form (Access 2010) in which i insert contracts; each contract has a start and an expiry date, but instead of dd/mm/yyyy i would like the user to be able to insert just the year, while the day and month are predefined values and they are automatically inserted (i.e. 01/10/yyyy; the year being the only value that changes, and it is manually inserted by the user).
I would like to set a pop up remainder (on form load) x days before the expiry date, but, because too many of them have the same expiry date i am wondering if the reminder can be set on different days, based on another field (i.e. partner location [country]).. i.e. reminder for contracts with Austria to pop up 60 days before expiring, for UK = 67 days and so on.. or even a specific day for each, i.e. for Austria = 01/08/yyyy, for UK 01/09/yyyy).
I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.
I was wondering if it is possible to load multiple forms into one subform? For example: I have form [SO2Menu] and form [Critical]. Can I have one subform in a main form that by the click of a button ill load either menu depending on the users selection?
