My problem is that I have a couple of forms where scrollbars are not appearing on forms when they are too long to fit on-screen. Instead they're just going below the bottom of the screen and there's no way to access things at the bottom of the form. This is happening with a data input form as well as with a form I'm using to filter and display a report. I've tried selecting both "Vertical only" and "both" for the scrollbar property of the form, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
The forms are being opened in "dialog" mode, the only option for opening a form in a web database when using a macro to open it, it seems. If I manually open the form in 'normal' mode, it has scrollbars. Also, if I open a report with a macro (on click), it has the option to open in 'normal' mode and has scrollbars and all is well. But if I want the user to be able to click a button to open the form, it seems I have to use dialog mode.
Basically what I want to do is create a form that combines 2 tables. For example, I want to be able to display a name, then display and be able to scroll through all information associated with that name. For instance, if the name had more than one address, how would I create that form with the right relationships and with the scroll bars? Thanx
In the forms that I have made, none of the listboxes ever scroll with the mouse scroll wheel. I have tried to click into the listbox first to ascertain that the focus is in the listbox but nothing works. the only way to scroll is to manually drag the scroll bar tab. I want to find out how i can make my scrolling work. I guess that there must be a global setting somewhere to switch it on or off... Any insight into this will be highly appreciated!
I have a text box containing a lot of explanitory text and I want vertical scroll bars.
I have set the 'scroll bars / vertical' in the properties of the text box and yet...no scroll bars. I feel that some other setting is preventing the scroll bars.
I sat my form properties to display both scroll bars, but it's only dispalying the horizontal one even though the form needs the vertical (a few text boxes are not displayed because they are at the bottom of the form).
I have tried to close the DB and reopen it again and played about with the properties, but it still does not show the vertical scroll bar.
I am having a problem with displaying the scroll bars in Access. I have created a database which is viewed correctly in 1280x720 screen resolution, which is our standard setting. However, we have recently taken on some users with sight problems, and they are using a different screen resolution.
This means that the forms do not fully display on the page, and I would like to add scroll bars to the access window rather than the form so that the user can move up and down the displayed form. Is this possible?
I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD() On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO Exit Sub
Help! I'm not sure how I did this, but NO matter what database I go into i can see any toolbar or menu bar. Yes I tried the shift key. How do I turn it all back on? When I right click I can get the database startup properties, everything has the check, yet I can't see any toolbars or menu bars. I've searched though the help, and I can't see to find out how to put it back.
Has anyone stumbled on VBA coding that will disable the wheel scroll function on the mouse when using it in an Access database. I am using Access 2003. I was given some code for this by a friend and it worked on the first database I tried but none after. I keep getting a Compile error: Sub of Function not defined - even though I cut and paste the code from the database where it works.
I have created a front end and put into production for my users but I want to reduce the amount of menu bar options they see so someone cant click on a button wondering what it does and mess something up. What is the best way to reduce the amount of options a user sees on the menu bars when they open the front end of the db?
I am currently in the process of creating a pop-up menu to allow my users to do some simple text formatting.I have used the following code to do so:
Code:
Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar ' Create the new pop-up menu instance Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("popupFormatMenu", msoBarPopup, False, True) ' Add the bold button
[code]....
The problem is that I now want to add the FontColor picker control and I keep getting an error.I think the problem lies in the type of control I want to add. According to the Microsoft support files I downloaded the fontColor control is of type Gallery and ID = 11949, so the code should look something like this:
i have a continuous form used for selling item , i want when the user selling item the scroll mouse working with the current record look the attachment to see how to fix the problem .
I have a form that i have created with various tabs along the top, e.g. customer details, customer contact etc etc.I have a subform on one of the tabs.
That subform also has tabs on it.When clicking on the main form tab it goes to subform but the scroll bar moves down only to show the subform tab options. I have to keep scrolling back up to see the main form tab options.
I have a form with four pages and subforms on each page. I am having issues with scrolling on pages 2-4. The first page will scroll correctly (to the bottom of the form), but the other pages will not scroll at all. I did enable the scroll bars on the subforms, but they will only scroll to the bottom of the viewable form, not the whole form, which I would prefer. Is there a way to scroll through the whole form on pages 2-4? I tried setting the focus to the form itself, but my code didn't work:
Private Sub Form_MouseWheel(ByVal Page As Boolean, ByVal Count As Long) Me.Parent.FRM_TABLE_TAB_1.SetFocus End Sub
I would change the form; however, it is designed to look exactly like the actual questionnaire.
Hi! I want to disable the usage of mouse scroll on my forms. Because, as things are now, you may accidently choose/ scroll to another Record/ Post, when editing data for one specific record.
How do I accomplish disabling usage of mouse scroll?
I have a main form EMPLOYEE RECORDS with employees information, with a Subform, where pay records are entered. Mysubform always shows record 1 of 1, and I cannot scroll back to see previous records. How can I see the previous entries.
I have a form in datasheet view, with the record ID column frozen and users typically scroll to the right to see certain columns. Different users scroll to a different position.
I dont have the option to reduce the number of columns or create separate forms for different users, - they all need to see all the columns but typically a user scrolls horizontally to see a certain set of columns most of the time. I want to save that position for the next time they open the form.
Most my short text fields on my form are normal, but some have scroll buttons like a memo box and it's annoying, especially because the user can't jump to the next field by pressing return.
I gather that there is no way to include a scroll bar on a memo field in a form. What is the best workaround? The source is a mysql odbc table. It is set as medium text and comes into Access 2010 as a memo field. For a user coming to this field to read the material entered there, unless they click somewhere within the field, there isn't a scroll bar. It isn't obvious that that is what they need to do to see all of it. Is there any way to work around this limitation?
I have recently updated several forms from Access 2003 to 2010.
On the old version I could 'hold down' the forward or backward pointers to quickly scroll through the individual records. Now I have to click each individual record to move one at a time.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting or is the quick scroll option no longer available?
I've got a continuous form that displays my massive 3,000+ inventory, with the option to filter down to specific categories. Some categories have 5 items, others have hundreds. The design I have used makes it look really tacky once I filter down to one of the categories that has 5 items, because there is no scroll bar.
What I've tried using is:
Code: If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount < 10 Then Me.Scrollbars = 2 'vertical only Else Me.Scrollbars = 2 End If
But it still doesn't display correctly (nobar.png). This is probably my biggest headache right now, and every "solution" I've found, doesn't work.
