Forms :: Prevent Wrapping In Memo Field Box?
Aug 28, 2013
Is there a way I can prevent wrapping in a memo field box?
I have a memo field with a list of email addresses and usernames however the email addresses often just wrap around the end of the memo box just creating a new line in the memo box rather than properly showing the email without the wrapping.
Even if the message scrolls out of the box, id rather that then wrap the text.
Also is there a way in which I can enable someone to open the "ZoomBox" whilst the text box is locked/disabled.

Is it possible to apply word-wrap to a lengthy field name on a Form. Due to a lengthy field name the corresponding column is too wide.

Is it was possible to wrap text in listboxes. some fields are very long at times and i was hoping there would be a way to wrap it so I didnt have to make the width of that column extra long. I am trying to conserve as much space as possible on the form.

Ive had a recurring problem with one of my databases
ive got a form with a subtable on it, the subtable is very important as much of the DB's data is entered in there.
every once and a while one of the users will be doing data entry and on a certain field (a short text field if that makes any difference) theyll push enter instead of tab, to move on to the next field, enter creates a new line instead of moving to the next field, when a new line is created the user will either assume the field is blank and retype the data or ignore it entirely and move on
the trouble is one of my queries completely fails to work when there are multiple lines in this field (comes with a data type mismatch error)
is there a way to prevent the field from being able to contain multiple lines (like a property setting or some VB code?)

I have recently started working for a new company and have inherited a nightmare of a system!
I have basic knowledge of Access and have been asked to stop duplicate entries under the same PO Number.
I have tried using DLookups by looking at other posts on the forum with no success.
The input form is called Purchase Order Entry, with the field called PO_No. The table is called Orders, with the field called Purchase Order Number.
I have tried to make the Purchase Order Number in the Orders table, the primary key but an error that it cannot contain a null value appears.
The Purchase orders may not be entered into the database in numerical order also.

I need to ensure that the data entered into a field on a form is correct. The field contains an email address and I have a function to check if the format is correct.
If the format is incorrect I need the cursor to return to the field in that record. The form is continuous.
What event should I use?

A user enters text into a memo field for an existing client, then it's closed, the same record reopened and more entered into the memo.The problem is when it's reopened the existing text is hi-lighted, and it's really easy for someone to begin typing and write over it.I want to reopen it, create a new line, enter a date stamp maybe, create another line with the cursor in it, ready for the user to enter new text.

When I changed the memo field from plain text to Rich Text, I got the below divs and slashes. Is there any way to get rid of them?
<div>GC in process - EB1.</div>
<div> </div>
I had only "GC in process - EB1" in plain text.

I have a form with a memo field which is used by users to input transctiptions of Customer Contacts but the form is getting busy and the box now only 2.77 wide X 0.683 High.
this makes it impossible to read on the form even as a text box with scrolling..how to add a mouse over on it so that it fires up a large text/meg style box to display the contents?

I have inherited a database where technicians track equipment that has been repaired.In this database, there is a memo field where the technician lists all the part numbers he / she uses to repair the piece of equipment. This field was never reported against and was strictly used for reference. However, someone is coming to me now and asking that a report be generated with that information. Then she will separate those parts out on her end. because it is a free form field, the technician is not forced to put a comma between each part number. I was wondering if there is a way for the database to go through approximately 62,000 records and ensure that there is a comma between each part number? I was also wondering if there is way to program the database to automatically insert a comma after each part number.

Having some trouble with a memo field. For each record, the notes field is present on the Form.... I added an unbound text box (txtMemoAdd) and a command button (Add New Note). When the button is selected, it adds the note to the Read Only Notes Field and adds a timestamp using the following code:
Me.Notes = Me.Notes & vbCrLf & Now () & VbCrLf & Me.txtMemoAdd
Me.txtMemoAdd = ""
The note is added to the bottom, and I was wondering if there was a way to make the new note go to the TOP of the field (Descending Order rather than Ascending).

Currently, I am trying to search a memo field on a table by having the user enter keywords on a form (up to 10 keywords can be entered). It works when just one keyword is entered, however it doesn't work if more than one is entered. How do I account for more than one keyword being entered to search the memo field and return the recors where any of the terms show up in that field. Each one of the keywords [KW1] ...etc are in a separate unbound box.
Current formula looks as follows:
Like "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW1] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW2] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW3] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW4] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW5] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW6] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW7] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW8] & "*" OR "*" & "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW9] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW10] & "*"
Should I be using AND?

I have created a button that takes the contents of a memo field and adds a new line of text at the top with the date, time and initials of staff member. So far, so good...
However I want it to end with the cursor ready at the end of the first line (to type the note) The following code does everything but ends by putting the cursor right at the end of all of the text in the memo field (instead of the end of the first line):
Code:
Private Sub Command59_Click()
Me.Note = Format(Now, "d mmm yyyy hh:nn") & " - " & "(" & DLookup("[login]", "logintable") & ") " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Me.Note
Me.Note.SetFocus
Me.Note.SelStart = Len(Me.Note)
Me.Note.SelLength = 0
End Sub

I am programming a database for a reorganized group in my office. For whatever reason they want their correspondence letters within the Database instead of in Word templates. This way I can standardize their headings and automatically import data from their tables onto their letters.
For this reason I chose a form. I felt using a report wouldn't give them enough editing power. Almost all of the fields on this form are unbound and set to default values. I want to use a combo box so the worker can select the "letter type" they want from the drop down and it will automatically update the body of the letter with the standard format of that type of letter.
Just one problem--these letters are wordy, so the "content" field had to be a memo. I know you can't set memo fields to combo box columns, so I'm in a jam.
how I could populate this memo field into the unbound field using some kind of selector? It doesn't necessarily have to be a combo box.
I want to populate the memo field into the unbound box, but I don't want it to establish a link or control source because I don't want the worker modifying the original record (think of it as a template).

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 am currently using the column history to log the history of inputs into a memo field.
But i now need to swap how my database runs and now require a combo box to have the same history function, as this is for a status updates and i require users to only input certain status's.
I no that I cant use the columnhistory command with a combo box.
When selecting a status from the combo box it automatically update the memo field (which will be hidden on the form) so the column history function works.

My DVD library database I have a memo field which has the description of the movies.
In some cases, like my tv show records, I have a lot of data because of the episodes and episode descriptions.
I'm currently displaying this data using a split form with the datasheet on the left
I must use a small font in the memo field in order to display all data.
I could use a larger font and simply scroll but I'm looking for an alternative.
I've even thought of creating a hyperlink filed and point to the movie on IMDB's web site. But when I click the link nothing happens even though I copied and pasted the link into the field.

I have a pop up window that maximizes and the need to format a Memo Field to users specification.
Unfortunately the Mini Popup Bar that comes up when you select text is very shy and annoying when it doesn't show up. It's Completely Unreliable.
So I thought I'll make the Controls on the form for Bold,Italic... etc but I can't seem to get the code to work.
My TextField is a Memo and I have changed the TextFormat to RichText, but I cannot use any of the commands like .SelBold or .SelColor etc.. It gives me a Compile Error: Member or Data Member Not found.
I don't understand why? Is there a Add In/Reference that I need to include?

I want to wrap up an Access 2013 desktop app so that the user only sees the splash screen. I can get rid of the Navigation pane, but not the Ribbon or the Quick Access toolbar. At this stage I do not want to split the db or prepare it for distribution. I don't really want to generate a custom ribbon, as I shall need the standard one for development.I'm sure this used to be easy back when I last used Access (97), but cannot believe that I cannot find it anywhere in 2013.

I have a table for storing vehicles. The table contains the following fields:
VehicleID
Make
Model
Trim
Build Date Begin
Build Date End
Vehicle Name - a concatenation of 'Make' 'Model' 'Trim' 'Build Date Begin' and 'Build Date End'
The 'Vehicle ID' is the primary key, the rest of the fields can't be indexed with no duplicates. Is there a way of preventing one from saving a duplicate VehicleName on the table since it is a calculated field.
