Forms :: Storing Small Icons In A Table For Use In Continuous Form
Nov 29, 2013
I searched without success for a solution to show small pictures (icons) in a table field to show up in a continous form.
Purpose is:
a communication log table has comm codes such as
- mail out
- mail in
- tel call in
- tel call out
the comm log table has the fields
CustomerID, datetime, CommCode
The CommCode table hast the fields
CommID, CommCode, Icon
The form (subfrm) should show in continous form mode to each customer..Datetime, (commCode), and to visualize the Commcode the small image (icon) presented by an envelope with an arrow right, an envelope with an arrow left, etc.
I cannot find a solution for storing those little images and retrieving them from an OLE-Field.All my other pictures I do not have stored in the tables, but only the image path, but for that I would prefer to store them directly into a table field as they do not blow up the database.
I have a table called Tbl_Query_List that houses the query names that I want to be displayed on a continuos form. I want the user to select the query by highlighting it in the continious form and then having a command button at the bottom of the form.
I have everything setup including the command button. Assuming that on the EVENTS tab I set the OnClick to [Event Procedure] but when I click on the ellipsis what do I type to make it run the highlighted query?
I am mid way through a Access db and have a solid idea what i want from a form. The idea is for a rota display and edit form.
a tab control with 5 tabs (-2 weeks, -1 week, current week, + 1 week, + 2 weeks) and when the user clicks it lists all the employees (Employee Table) with any found rota entrys (Rota Table) populating into a text box type table with employees information blank where no rota information has been entered.
then the user can edit / add shift information from that table and hit save.
the main rota information is inputted by an excel import but this is done once a month and adhoc changes will be needed (holidays absence etc)
the only thing i found like what i want is a continuous form (which ive never used before but been told that wont go in a tab control)
How i would accomplish this (code snippets - doesnt have to be detailed just the fundamental functions so i can add modify to suit the information the sql's i already have its just the form controls.)
i'm creating a database which holds all animals. i'm trying to make the parents selectable in a subform based on the same table as the main form - this doesn't work for whatever reason ("table is already opened exclusively by another user,..."). it can't just be one field or a query, it needs to be a subform because besides name and eartag i also want to display a small picture of the parent and only the filename is being stored.
i'd really like it to be selectable records in a continuous subform, so the risk of selecting a wrong id is minimized. is there a way around this not being able to use the same table for a subform?
I currently have a database which contains various information for part returns. Among this information is contained a parts tracking number, VIN Number, and Date Code. I want to have a small dialogue box (Form) where a user can enter a tracking number, (or a date code or VIN if tracking number unavailable) to search for a record containing that tracking number. I have already created a replica of my new part entry form to view parts in read only mode only.how to create small form to search for record based off criteria then open the replica form i have made to that record?
I am an Access newbie and I have a form running about 5 seperate formulas and I would like to store the info in the table that it is associated with so that I can use it later in a query to create another formula. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to use icons and interactive buttons for my forms to give them a more professional look. does anyone know where i can get such icons? i'm quite an illiterate fool when it comes to making the icons using icon editors. i tried searching on the web but it always throws up stuff relating to windows xp. i use office 2003. can i use them? if not can anyone tell me where i can find such icons? :(
How does one store the value derived from a combo box to another text box in a form?E.g. Supplier name is a combo box. The combo box has 2 columns, supplier and supplier ID.the supplier name stores the supplier in its own text box.When you select the supplier, the supplierID appears in another text box.I need to store this supplier ID.The control source is =[suppliername].[column](1) When I look up the table, the supplier is captured in the supplier name but the supplierID is not captured in the supplier ID field.
I have a simple data entry form based on a table. However I have a few fields that I do a lookup in a field on the form from a query, and yes I know I should not have a lookup in the control source however, this is the way that I will be doing it on this occasion.
=DLookUp("[Salary]","[Salary Query]")
How I get the value from this unbound field to enter into the actual field in the table. Do I bring the actual field into the form and hide, and do some sort of after update, as I have tried and it does not work.
I have called the unbound field with lookup "Salary Level Base" and the actual field in the table is "Salary Base".
I have a continouus form that queries a table and displays various fields on the form. For each record in the master table displayed on the continous form I also need to show the result of a calculation in an unbound field.
The calculation needs to be based on the Count of the rows of a particular type in another table. This other table will have many different types of record - and I have a query that returns the count. This query is based on a SQL WHERE clause that is fed in a value from a field in the master table. To be concret a field in the master table has the name ID_component. This field has to be then used in the query to determine how many rows in this other table has a type of ID_component. From what I can tell right right now is that the query which is triggered from a combo box in the form is not getting the ID_component value on a record by record basis.
My question therefore is whether using continous forms one can get an unbound field to do a query on another tabel when the query has to be fed in a parmeter from a field in the original tabel?
If this is not possible - any ideas on how I can achieve something similar to I can obtain a count of rows and feed it into a continous form
I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail -Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed -All fields are disabled and locked -I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset rstMyForm.MoveFirst Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then
I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String) DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'" End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
I have a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA" id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR" id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
4) Private Sub btn_editgs_Click() On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err Dim strWhere As String strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere btn_editgs_Click_Exit: Exit Sub btn_editgs_Click_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit End Sub
I have a continuous subform that displays lots of questions. This specific form has 10 questions on it. Each question has one answer and the users are required to select one answer for each question. I am trying to do some data validation before the data gets saved to my table to ensure that users have answered all the questions. I found some very useful code online and tweaked it to suit my needs. The validation works perfectly on subforms with only one question, as I have some other tabs that use it.
On the specific form that has the issue, the validation works as expected when no question has been answered, but when a user answers only one question and leaves the remaining nine questions blank, the validation does not work. I guess it is as a result of the continuous form repeating the different questions and ms access thinking that the data entered for one question alone is complete when it actually isn't.
Code: Private Sub Ctl4_frm_Staff_Exit(Cancel As Integer) Dim ctrl As Control, EmptyStr$ For Each ctrl In Form_subFrm_staffQuestion.Controls If InStr(1, ctrl.Tag, "Required") > 0 Then If IsNull(ctrl.Value) Or ctrl.Value = vbNullString Or Len(ctrl.Value) = 0 Then
I have a continuous form sfrmAddress which is based on my table tblAddressList. What I am trying to achieve concerns the date fields DateFrom and DateTo.
DateFrom is a bound text box txtDateFrom
I am trying to put an IIf function in the Control Source of unbound text box txtDateTo
qryAddressHistory1 returns the LatestFromDate , so the most recent address.
The idea being if it is their most recent address, they have lived there until today, if it is not their most recent address it will display the date contained in the table (when they moved out or DateTo).
I have tried this a few different ways, double and triple checked my references and I'm usually OK with IIf so I don't understand where it's going wrong!
I should add I'm getting the #Name? error all the way down the column when I open the form.
I have the following code that is intended to use the three fields obtained from a record on a continuous form and display the details of the record on a single form. I have not used the findfirst method because I am having enormous problems with it. Instead I am defining a query based on the recordsource of the continuous form. This sql query gives one record as result and that record is to be used as recordsource by the single form.
Code: Public Sub SboxSelectForm(ForName, ParName, QryName) On Error GoTo NotFound Debug.Print "SelectForm ForName="; ForName; " ParName="; ParName; " QryName="; QryName Dim ResultQy As String, F As Form, P As Form Dim db As DAO.Database Dim Prsc As DAO.Recordset, Frsc As DAO.Recordset
I have a listbox which contains a list of schools. I would like the user to be able to select 1 or all the records from that list box. From that list of selected records, my goal is to allow the user to use each school selected and use that as a record source for a continous form so I can allow the user to input a integer next to it, like school size.
Example: Listbox (Schools) ID, Name 1, Thomas School 2, Jefferson School 3, Washington School 4, Madison School 5, Franklink School
User select Thomas, Washington and Madison
In a Continuous Form it would list, Thomas School, Text Box (Allow User to input School Size) Washington School, Text Box (Allow User to input School Size) Madison School, Text Box (Allow User to input School Size)
I have a continuous form in my database that depending on the criteria used will display any number of records. Each record has a check box so the user can select a record for printing. Quite often the user wants to select all of the checkboxes.
Is there a way to do that in vba off of a command button.
use a continuous form to allow users to quickly enter any number of records. One of the fields in this continuous form is an ID (not a foreign key, actually not a key in the database but crucial for other purposes) which is incremental from the last one stored in a table.
I am able to use a combo box and a query to get the ID but I cannot save the value to the text box on the first record, and then requery and get the next id when the user moves onto the next record..and so forth..
I have a continuous Form named frmBirthdays that lists People with a [DateOfBirth] field.
In the Form Header I have 2 Unbound Combo Boxes 1- cboMonthFilter which list the 12 Months of the year in Text NOT Number and 2- CboAgeFilter that has a list of Ages 0 -30 (which is all i require) and a Clear Filter Command Button.
I would like to be able to filter the people list by cboMonthFilter for anyone that has a Birthday in any given month.
OR
I would also like to filter the people in the list by their age.
I have a continuous form with a number of unbound fields and bound fields. However, I would like to sum an unbound fields (Text28). Text28 is an unbound calculated field based on another calculated unbound field (Text22). I would like to sum Text28 in the footer or somewhere in the form.
Here are the codes for my field:
Code: Text28 = iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20] --- This works Text29 =sum(iff([Text22>0], [Text22], [Text20]) --- this is not working
Every member of a group do savings once every 15 days and each group has maximum 20 members, group has one to many relationship with customer and customer having one to many relationship with Savings (there is no direct relationship between group and savings) i have created a continuous form for saving entry. in this form i select a group which is unbound and based on that group, its members are listed in the combo box named CusID, after selecting customer other saving details are entered.
What I want, is that for every group i want a total saving for all that specific group's members selected in the mentioned unbound combo box in that continuous form, this total should be based on the group selected in the mentioned unbound combo box, in case i select another group the total should also be based on newly selected group.
