View 3 Replies View RelatedDatabase And Screen Resolution
May 15, 2006I couldnt find a search facility to see if this had been covered before, so apologies if it has been answered before.
I have created an application in Access (2002) which from the users side of things will start in a form and give them no access to the back end.
Unfortunately, it is entirely possible that different users will have their screens set at different resolutions and so the application will be unusable on some and too small on others.
I was wondering if it was possible for access to automatically resize according to the users screen resolution.
I have searched the MS Knowledge Base and help files etc, but I think it is looking less likely that it is possible. Creating 5 or 6 different versions for different screen resolutions would be a none option.
Thanks for reading.

Forms :: Export Form To PDF Resolution
Dec 4, 2013After a user completes a form, they click a button at the end that uploads the information the back-end database and creates a PDF copy using the DoCmd.OutputTo function. It has been working fine, but one user just had an issue where the form was very zoomed in and cut off. So I have 2 questions:
1) What is the cause of this problem? Is it based on screen resolution?
2) Is there a way to fix the problem to make sure it does not happen?
Reports :: Layout - Wrapped Text For Corresponding Fields
Feb 2, 2014One of the fields in the report can have multiple records and the field next to it has corresponding data. This is fine, but gets messy if the text in the first field goes over 1 line.
This looks okay for the report
_________________________
name1 - details1 cost1
name2 - details2 cost2
name3 - details3 cost3
name4 - details4 cost4
But I have been asked to ensure that the costs line up with the corresponding name and details, which is a problem if more than 1 line is required.
_________________________
name1 - details1 cost1
name2 - lots of .. cost2
details2 ............ cost3
name3 - details3 cost4
name4 - details4
I guess the only thing I can really do is check the length of the record against the width of the field and try to work out how many lines are required. If more than 1, then I add a vbCrLf for each additional line to the cost column.
The reports are in Ariel, so would I need to change to Courier? Other than trial and error, i'm not sure about how to get the desired lengths - or is there some other way of going about this?
Forms :: Add Control To Tabular Layout
May 9, 2013So you make this nice continuous form (or report) using the tabular layout, layout/format the whole enchilada... and then at some stage you need to add one more field to the display.
You could change the layout to stacked, drag the field from the Add Existing Fields list onto the layout and then change the layout back to tabular.
Is there any other smart way to add a field to a tabular layout in A2007, so that the label winds up in the header section and the textbox (or other control) in the detail section?
Forms :: Remove Layout Function

Forms :: Contents Disappear In Form Or Layout View
Jul 17, 2013I seem to be having an issue with a split form I've been working on. I created this split form on Monday and it was working just fine but today, I have added a couple minor text boxes. Since then, I can view the form contents in Design View but when I switch to "Form View" or "Layout View", it's all gone minus the logo in the top left corner and the title for the split form.

Forms :: Check Box In A Form Which Shows Data From A Table In Tabular Layout
May 12, 2013I have made an unbound check box, named "myckeck" in a form which shows data from a table in tabular layout.
1- When I check one check box, all check boxes are checked. How can I solve that? I mean I want to check or clear check boxes independently.
2- I made a text box, named "jobdate" to sow todays date automatically upon checking a check box.
Code:
Private sub mycheck_afterupdate()
jobdate = date
End
But this is not working and checking a check box does not make anything to happen.
3- Then I made this expression in the default value of "jobdate" properties:
iif( mycheck = true, date(), null)
This not working either.
Forms :: Added Extra Tab - Form Showing Blank In Design And Layout View
Mar 30, 2013My form was working fine but when I added an extra tab it started showing as completely blank in design view. When I deleted the tab I had added I still was left with the same problem!
I've attached an image of the form properties. I want to use the form to enter data so it needs to show even if there are no records.
I had read that it could be if there is no data but typing data in the tables hasn't worked either.
Monitor Resolution
Sep 20, 2006I just bought a new computer. It came with a GIGANTIC (for me) 19 inch monitor.
Here's the question. What resoution should I set the screen to?
I make databases for others.
If my forms are too big for their monitors they have to use the scroll bars all the time.
If my forms are too small it doesn't look professional.
Advise greatly appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedResolution Requested - SQL Statement In VBA
Jul 14, 2004I have an Append Query that I developed and am wanting to use the SQL View statement in a piece of VBA code that I am writing. The problem is that it is not working.
Here is the SQL View when I am in Query Design View.
Code:INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList ( AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec] )SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpecFROM TEMPAcctWHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));
Here is the code I have in VBA...
Code:Dim strSQL As StringstrSQL = "INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList (AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec]) "strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpec "strSQL = strSQL & "FROM TEMPAcct "strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));"DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
The code runs fine in that no errors are generated, but it does not append the records. When I run the query outside of VBA, it does append the records. Is there something special that needs to be done with an action query for the SQL statement to work in VBA?

Forms :: Screen Doesn't Refresh
Feb 17, 2014I have the following code (simplified) :
ContextObject
.FileName = strPrefix & .StockNumber
If .Dirty Then
.Dirty = False
End If
' .Refresh
End With
Stepping through with the debugger, the ".Dirty=False" statement is executed, but the screen does not refresh. If I comment out the "If .Dirty ..." block and comment in the ".Refresh", then the screen does refresh with the new value - but of course that needlessly refreshes all the other records on the form.
Access Screen Freezes Then The Forms Don't Work
Aug 9, 2005This happened yesterday at work.
The access form froze and they could do other things but Access remained frozen. They logged off and when they went back in Access opened but none of the form buttons or links were working.
The database is not split because it is used only by one station at a time.
Has this happened to anyone and does anyone know the cause?
Five people were trying to fix it when I walked into work (5 people who no nothing about Access other than using that one database) and I couldn't get a straight answer.
Thanks

Forms :: Updating Multiple Records On A Screen?
Feb 12, 2014I have a screen with multiple records from a database. At the top of the screen I have a button that lets the user change the mode between read only and edit modes. The current mode is displayed near the button. When the user decides to update a record or records he goes into the edit mode and starts changing the records. The user may change any number of records on the screen. When editing is finished he presses a button called save and close gets feedback and leaves the screen. Now in this process how do I keep track of the records that are changed on the screen . Plus he can hit the page down key and go to the next page and make changes there also. Is it possible to stop the hitting of the page down key. What indicators can I use to spot the records changed?
