I have set an on click for a combo box to update a text box, the problem is the textbox lags and doesnt display the right information in the box until i either click onto the text box or refresh the screen..I only have one event procedure attached to the combo box
Private Sub Combo24_Click()
Me.TruckNumID = Me.Combo24.Column(0)
End Sub
I have several subforms with the same functions however this one is the only one that does this
I need to display some of the insruction lines in unbound / bound text box that will gradually moves up.
Example :
"This multiuser client server db is licenced to "ABC & Co.". This sofrware is to reduce cost of production and it increases speed of your production process more...."
These instruction lines may be arojnd 10-15 lines. I need to display it as non-stop moving up text massages on the main form once the data base is opened.
I've saved a SQL instructions file from Oracle's Querry Builder. I was wondering if it was possible in any way to import those instructions into a Ms Access query ?
I'm new at this, but here goes. I have a memobox on a form that I set the DefaultValue to display instructions for what to enter in the memobox. I would like these instructions to be visible until the user clicks or tabs into the box. Then I would like these instructions to disappear when the user begins to type something in. I've tried using several different event scenarios, but none does exactly what I want. I don't want to use a control tip as it won't appear until the user actually enters the memobox and I want the instructions to be visible before that time. However, this is what I've done at this point because I haven't been able to fiqure out how else to do what I want to do.
Any help would be appreciated; I'm sure this is something very simple for all of you, but I've spent several hours trying to work my way through this.
Thanks, Charlotte
P.S. I've read many of the posts, and have gathered many helpful tips on a variety of Access topics. Thanks to all of you out there!

My database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
how can i disable a textfield or two in a form when the textbox is unchecked also how do i add a default value for it while the textbox itself is disabled, can i get away with it by adding a default value on the textbox?
I have a form with two text boxes and a button. I want to be able to type a value into the first Text box click the button and the second text box to be filled with the value which is stored in the Table.
The first Textbox is called barTxt, The second Textbox is called CustTxt The button is called SearchBtn and the Table is called BookInTable. I have been trying to use the code.
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click() DoCmd.FindRecord Me.BarTxt.Value, , True, , True CustTxt.Value = "SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROM BookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer" End Sub
This however instead of displaying the Value for customer which is stored in the BookInTable. Displays The code SELECT BookInTable.Customer FROMBookInTable " & _ " WHERE Customer = """ & Nz(Me.BarTxt) & """" & _ " ORDER BY Customer"
Is it possible to have the value in a text box be set automatically based on the value in another textbox?For example, Textbox Gender is Male, so Textbox Reference is Male.
Code:
IFF Me.Gender = "Male" Then Me.Reference = "Male" And Me.ID = "ea13-02c" Else If Me.Gender = "Female" Me.Reference = "Female" And Me.ID = "ea13-01c" End If
i have a form that contains a combobox and textbox.i want according to combobox choice a fixed template to be populated in the textbox and then can be edited (delete and add more text as needed) without changing the original template
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 am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.
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"
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.
hello , I made a text box in my form , and I have a table with two records. table: name: yoav phone: 055
I want the text gets the name yoav from the table. I can't directly give the value beacuse text cannot get a record value. I tried to use query but it doesn't help. How can I do it then?
I have a form with numerous text boxes, combo boxes etc. I want to make two of the text boxes active (visible) only if the value entered is "Yes" in the text box above. Otherwise, if the value entered is "No," I want these other text boxes to remain hidden. For instance, if the user selects "Yes" the DVD is out on loan, I want three other text boxes to appear so that the user can enter the borrower's name, date borrowed, and date returned. Thanks!
I have a form which allows me to search between two dates by using two text boxes. The code for the query behind the text boxes is:
Between [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box1] And [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box2] and it works great. However, I was wondering if it was possible to use the same two text boxes on another form running from the same query, or would I have to make another query for the other form? I have tried to use "or" in my statement, eg.
Between [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box1] And [Forms]![name of my form]![name of text box2] Or Between [Forms]![name of my 2nd form]![name of text box1] And [Forms]![name of my 2nd form]![name of text box2] but when I try the text boxes it says "Enter Parameter Value".
I am trying to create a simple form with tabs. I want each tab to read from different tables.
I created the Form I droped the Tab Control on it and made 2 more tabs
Now I want to add Text Boxes and populate them with values from a specific table. In the Control Property of each Text Box I set it to =[Table]![Field] and I get #Name?
I cannot seem to link the Text Box back to the specific table.
Once I do that I want to be able to Goto Next, Goto Previous etc.
I have a volunteer information database, and I am working on the form that will show the details of each volunteer's hours worked, among other things.
I've attached screenshots of a more or less final version of the Relationships (I've tweaked it a little in the last day or so but nothing life-altering), the section of the form in question, and a query I wrote (probably incorrectly) that does return hours on a given month sorted by NameID, which is useful, but doesn't put the information into fields like I'd imagined I could. If I can't figure out how to make what I'd like work, I guess I could just put a subform that displays the results of the query, but I'd rather do it another way.
Obviously switching out the months, but I'm getting the response of #Name? in each field. No syntax error so I'm not sure if I have something configured incorrectly in the text boxes or if there's a problem with the function.
I have two forms where in first form i have options for second form. In first form i have a text box and its value is copied to second form using this code
Code: =Forms![FirstForm]![Counter]
But when i open second form using button in first form the vba message that counter value is empty. I used vba if code in second form on counter
Code: if counter.value = 1 then solo.visible = true end if
