I can load the little icon on the left on CaptionBar.It works very well on overlapping mode but no on Tabbed documents. How to works with tabbed documents mode?
how to change a form icon and make that icon embed to my database, I have tried the Application Icon property in Access Options but when I copy the database to other computer then the icon disappeared.
How to set a single form's property to act as it's own "overlapping window" in a database that is set to use tabbed documents. I want most windows to have the tabbed layout but there are a few that I would like to have pop out and be their own windows.
I noticed that the Northwind database did this somehow. if you click on one of the products from the home screen a form pops up in its own window. I tried reverse engineering it, but no luck so far.
Because of certain design considerations and the amount of data I'm maintaining, I have chosen to use tabbed documents rather than floating windows or subforms.
The hierarchy is supposed to be a person who is categorized as either a client, family member, donor, etc. Further, a client may use one or more services. In the example, our client uses Specialized Home Care. However, the tabs are intuitively out of order: the people tab is left-most, followed by the Specilaized Home Care tab, and lastly the Client tab. It should be People, People:Client, People:Client:Service. If a person uses a lot of our services, there will be separate People:Client:Service tabs and the People:Client tab will scroll off to the right. I'd like Access to order them properly but see no way to do it.when the forms are opened, it's people first followed by the high-level classification (i.e. Client), and the lastly the specific Client:Service tabs. I would expect Access to open and display them left to right, but, as you can see, it doesn't.
I have a form (frmMain) which has a header with some basic links and text boxes I would like to keep as a frozen pane on top as the user are scrolling down the detail section of the form. The detail section does include a subform if that makes a difference (frmhome). When going to Options>Current Database> tabbed documents, the form header stays frozen perfectly.
I however would like to use "Overlapping windows" as the form center aligns in the Access window instead of left aligning when using "tabbed". So either :
1) how do I keep the header frozen in "overlapping" or 2) how do I center align the form in "tabbed" view, as right now the form just wants to go as far left as possible in the full Access window.
I have a Form in which there is a textbox. I would like the name (caption) of the Form (that shows in the tab at the top of the form) to be named/updated to whatever is entered into the textbox.
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() lblSalary.Caption = "Enter Salary" txtSalary.Value = "5000.00" cmdIncrease.Caption = "Increase Salary" End Sub
The problem I am having is that I dont understand why the cmdIncrease button does not display "Increase Salary" when the form loads. The button is there but it is blank. The lblSalary button displays "Enter Salary" with no issues.... and I do not have "Enter Salary" in the caption property window... only in the coding window but it still works.
I am trying to copy a caption from a form to the clipboard so that I can later paste it into another application.
The code I have found via a search on this website 1) Clears the clipboard and then 2) copies the caption from a nominated field. 2) doesn't work as I sure I have the statements wrong.
I have a form, the view of which is continuous forms. It has information on the left of the screen which the user is expected to manually match to information on the right, based on the suggestion of the underlying query (based on table a and table b)
E.g.
Client A $200 <button> Mr Smith $200.00 Client B $100 <button> Mr Smith $100.01
There is a button "match me" which when clicked runs an update query.
My query is how do I change the caption on the "match me" button to say "matched" just for the one that is clicked? Because it is a continuous form, if I use Command1.Caption = "Matched" or Me!Command1.Caption = "Matched" it changes it for all the buttons on the form.
In VB you can index objects, and create duplicates of them, like this... Code:Load label1(1)label1(1).Caption = "This is a label" But to do it, you must first create the original object in Design view, and set it's Index property to a number (there is an Index field in the Properties window in VB). For examle, to do the above I would create a label called Label1(0) in design view.
However, I cannot find this Index Field in the Properties window in Access - can you even create arrays of objects?!?!
I'm new to Access and I'm trying to figure out how to use Access to populate documents. I assume I would create a form asking for information, and then Access would populate document(s) using the information.
For example, I need this information plugged into multiple Word Documents (or I guess I could combine all the word documents into a single PDF)
Name: John Smith Project Number: 12345 Duration: 120 Days Summary: This work would include... ...etc.
And then the program would use the information from the form to fill in an already created template, sometime using the same piece of information more than once:
_____________________ has a project number of _________________________. _________________________ has a duration of _______________________. The duration of ____________________ includes days associated with project number ____________________. The summary is __________________________________________________ _____________.
The template may go on for hundreds of pages, but the information from the form would still be used throughout most of the pages.
I created an icon for my database application and I would like to display it in each form's title bar. Is this possible? And if it is, how? A few years ago I learned a little Delphi programming, and there this is possible to do. Thanx!
I have a simple database for my rv rental business, I want to be able to import an existing form into access and then use the data in my dbase to fill in the forms to print and have the customer sign the contract etc. I use 2003 how would I go about doing this?
how I can replace the MS Access icon in the windows 7 taskbar at the bottom of my screen with my customized one. I already added under the access options the form and report icon and was hoping that this may solve the issue. But my own icon just pops up on the title bar of the main access screen, forms and the reports.
I got an image bitmap that I want to use to customize my button. I got following error pop up."Image Generator" - "search key not found in any record".I'm using access 2013
I have a text box in a form, in which users enter updates. I would like that text to become the caption on a label in a printable report. How would I write the VBA to do this?
This code works well and frmRepair opens with the updated label caption. The original value was "Return/repair Information"
A few other things need to change on frmRepair depending on this caption as well as the values of some other fields, so I use the following code in the onload event (although I later tried the onopen even)
Code: 'Disable labels button if there is no RMA and the item is a repair MsgBox Me.lblmain.Caption If Me.lblmain.Caption = "Return/Repair Information" Then Me.txtRMA.SetFocus MsgBox Me.txtRMA.Text
[Code] ....
However, I cannot get this to work as the "if" statement always returns "Return/Repair information" and not the modified caption. The message box confirms that this is the case.
I suspect that this has to do with the point in time that the frmRepair loads or opens and when my code enters the modified values.
Is it possible to use a formula in the Caption property of a page in a tab control (i.e. to make it dynamic)
I have a number of tabs each with their own subform (with each subform driven by its own unique query)
I'd like the tab name to include the number of records returned by that query (so as records are added, the tab name is automatically updated with the new number)
So something along the lines of :
Page 1 (" & DCount("[ID]","[qryQuery1]") & ")"
Such that the page name appears as :
Page 1 (7)
I know I can code this programmatically but then that code has to be triggered by some event and I need the counts to be as real-time as feasibly possible rather than requiring the user to click on a control to trigger it. I was hoping by using a formula directly in the Caption property of the page, it would be dynamically updated every time a new record was added without the need to trigger an event first.
I am trying to limit the number of records displaying in a subform [amendedLoans] by selecting only those records that have the same ClientID as the mainform [Customers] and the same loan number as the subforms parent form [ClientAccounts loan changes].[loanno].
I have no difficulty selecting records just using the clientid but as soon as I add the reference to the subform [loanno] field I get no selection of records. I suspect there is an error in the where clause for [Amended Loans].Loan)=[Forms]![customers]![ClientAccounts loan changes].[Form]![LoanNo]) .
I have built the clause using the expression builder and have had many attempts all ending up with the same result. I'm now at a loss as to where to go from here....
I've set hyperlinks to a couple of forms using the hyperlink address in properties. All works fine, and I've done it this way because the cursor changes to pointy hand when hovering over.
However, I need to navigate to a tabbed form in a main form.
Is there a way of doing this? I've been searching all sorts, and the most probable is to concatenate the destination?
description##Page1#page2... or something like that?
Is this correct?
What ever I've tried doesn't work, this includes ...
adding the main form destination to Hyperlink Address, and tabbed form in the SubAddress (Can't find main form)
Using the hyperlink builder. (Can't find anything)
I made a form for our office to search data through our MS Access database. It was a big hit, and people started using it. Then came another request to make a new form - to search through another few tables. This was a big hit too.
The same process repeated and now I am stuck with 3 different forms, each with it's separate code and selection options.
How can I combine all of them into one and have 3 different tabs for the 3 existing forms without losing all the coding and software flow that I have already created?
