I need to make the text size smaller to fit everything on the screen (users use 17" monitors..). I have gone into each form and subform and changed the text size for each text box to 9, but when I view them in form view the size has not changed ?
Also .. is there any way to make the autocentre option actually work as it's name suggests !! ? it does in most cases centre horizontally, but never vertically, quite often putting the top of the pop up form over the ribbon bar.
I would actually like to be able to totally remove the ribbon bar so that only the database forms are the only thing the user sees.
I vaguely remember being able to do this in Access 97 (Which was the last version I used - a long time ago !) but this seems to be more difficult in 2010 version.
I am relatively new to using MS Access 2010. Some fields which i have set up as Memo fields to take report comments. Is there anyway to make the size of the memo field box variable to fit in with the text in the form when viewing in htis mode?
I have a button on Form1 that when clicked opens Form2. I want Form2 to be a certain size everytime it opens. I can't seem to get this to happen, it always resizes depending on Form1 being maximised or not.
When I open a Form, it appears in the proper size. Then, I go and open a Report, which is a DoCmd.Maximum on open. This works well. The report is enlarged. Now, when I go to open a form, the size of the form is max. I tried Borderline dialog, fit window, DoCmd.MoveSize, and a couple of other things, but I cannot get those forms to keep their original size-they blow up! How can this be accomplished?

I just change from a 1024x768 monitor to a 1600x1200. Now my database is squished due to the smaller pixel size and it is uncomfortably small. How can I adjust the DB to "fit" the new display, or any other monitor resolution setting.
I have one form "Products" that I have a button on which opens up another form. The second form lists a different number of lines depending on how many items are in a group.
The problem I am having is that I can not make the second form shrink or grow depending on how many line items I have in each group. Currently, I have to make the form as large as the most possible lines I could have (which is 19) but sometimes I might only have 5 lines in a form.
I have a subform that shows notes entered but if there is more text in the field then you cant see it all. Can I make it so that this field will grow so the whole input is visible or can I make it so when you click on it it opens in a larger window showing all the txt?
I am having issues with a split form which modal and emergent (pop-up) properties are set to yes. When I open it, it is maximized or out of the size I had setup; although I saved it trying to "freeze" the height and width.
It has been a month and I'm still 'stuck' on my Microsoft Access lessons due to a peculiar error. I have a video of the error, but it won't let me post a link until I have 10 posts. When I create an action button and then scroll at all, the button jumps in size 50% to the right and down, but this extra space can't be edited. Clicking on the 'extra space' is like clicking the background.
I have tried
1. Reinstalling Office 365 2. Reinstalling my graphics card drivers (Using a GTX 560ti SLIx2) 3. Manually entering the size for the buttons in the button properties (still increases in size)
I have a project where the schedule calls for a web-enabled database for 100+ users to merge five separate systems into one. If I can't get past this problem, I can't continue my lessons.
When I create a form in design view and then open it, the form fills the whole area. The Fit To Screen property is set to No, and Auto Resize makes no difference no matter what it is set at.
How can I reduce the form size (so it looks like an Excel form)?
I have a form that contains a blank text box for each field in a record. Until very recently it functioned correctly for years. Lately data enterers tried to fill a ten character field with five characters (ANNNN format, example X9999). Some records require an entry in this text box, some do not, so their field is left blank. Lately when a new entry is tried in this field, only the first three characters are accepted, blocking character four through ten from being entered. It acts as if the text length for this text box has been changed to three characters, but it is still the correct length in the Properties box.
The system keeps track of clients who have attended a nutrition education class and the form involved is the location the class was taught.
I have a form to input data into a table1. On the form I have a combo box to read from a next table exchange rate to input into the table1. Field in Tablet for the exchange rate is set to Field size double, Format currency, and decimals 6.
I am unable to set the field size on the form to read the 6 decimals. The combo box is set to Currency decimal 6. I tried General Number and it still only shows only one decimal.
Is there a way to make just part of the text in a text box bold, or to use different font sizes in the same text box?
Something like this:
--------------------------------- Heading in bold: description in regular (not bold) (a smaller height line used as a line space) Another "normal" line a larger height line a normal line....all in one text box! ---------------------------------
One thing I'd like to be able to do is to specify the line height of a blank line in a text box. I'm using carriage returns created with: Chr(13) & Chr(10). I could see defining the font size of a hidden character, but I'd need to know how to assign a font size to a piece of the text in a font box.
I have a datasheet on a form that is unable to show all records in the size allowed. Consequently it has a vertical scroll bar. However, the scroll bar allows scrolling to the bottom whereby there is white space almost the same size as the data records. The horizontal scroll bar does much the same.
Is it possible to just show the records and only the width of the data in them.? No extra records exist in the table to cause this.
I have multiple sub forms and want to add specific text boxes of different sub forms into one another sub form. Then all sub forms are incorporated in one main unbound form.
I have a table full of dates and each date has multiple time slots, and each time slot has multiple data values.
What I would like to do is have 2 cascading combo boxes (for date and time), so when you click the date it returns only the information for that date in the datasheet, and then click on the time combo box (which displays only time slots for that date) and returns the specific time slots for that date.
I'm using the following code to set text box fonts in all my forms. Problem is a couple of my forms have a combo box which I need to reference here but not sure how. I want the Combo Box font to be the same as the text box's. Not sure how to check to see if the control is a combo box.
Code: Public Function TextBoxProperties(frm As Form) Dim ctl As Control On Error GoTo TextBoxProperties_Error For Each ctl In frm.Controls If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then ctl.FontName = "Calibri"
Access 2007 apparently no longer has the autofill feature with datasheets. This was an option that I used frequently and not having slows down greatly my particular tasks. Is there some way of activating it?
I have data sheets as subforms on a Main nav page that show the students and the classes they are enrolled in. I have combo boxes to filter this for individual classes /students. On the Classes By Student DS I have the cost of each class. I want to total these classes per student and start building an accounts system that will show how much they owe and how much they have paid. I just need to start with the totals though.
On the Student by Classes DS I want to generate registers as reports. The only hard this in this is I would like to have a box for each class date on the form. I have put the term dates in a small table and I want a box for each class day from that.
My goal is to use a combo box on a nav pane to filter the following 5 nav panes with data sheet views on them. The combo shows 'component' and should filter each datasheet to only show records with the same 'component' selected in its respective component column.
What I'm currently dealing with is said component combo disappearing upon nav change, and I can't get it to filter the datasheet..but that is likely due to the fact that I cant get it to hold value on page switch.
MS documentation states that space is not reserved for unused characters in a text field. Does this mean that there is no storage penaly for having a text field 255 as opposed to 80.
On a more general note are there any tools to help calculate the size of a table?
