Forms :: Use Formula In Caption Property For Page In Tab Control (Access 2007)
Oct 7, 2013
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.

If there a way to set focus to a specific page from a command button on a Tab Control?
I tried Me.TabCtl0.Value = 3.
But it doesn't work.

I'm creating a tabbed form in Access 2007, and in the first 3 tabs, when I dragged the field controls onto the form, they stretched to the width of the form and all stacked nicely underneath each other.
Now on the next tab they are coming out as much smaller. I don't want to stretch them to fit as I want them a uniform size and I just want to find how to get that setting back! I've been messing with the anchoring buttons to what seems like no avail!

I have a form with a (large) number of controls which acts as a kind of read-only dashboard of data. The data is split across a number of tables (4, for now, but may grow) I've created a query which amalgamates all of the data from the tables into a single dataset and set that as the RecordSource (Snapshot) of the form. I now want to bind each of the controls to a particular field returned by that query.
However - I have a combobox (same form) which allows users to select a date and I need the controls to update with the relevant data for that date whenever the combobox is changed. The query already returns values for each field over a range of dates so the data is available within the form's RecordSource - I just don't know how to include the date criteria, as specified by the combobox, when binding each individual control?

I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?

Hi
I've just moved my PC over to Office 2007. I have previously created an application in A2003 that consists of three databases which I move between frequently using command buttons running the following code to close the current one and open the new one:-
Private Sub Command14_Click()
Dim RegSet As New QwestLib.QRegistryFunctions
On Error GoTo Err_command14_Click
DoCmd.Close acForm, "client action", acSaveYes
Application.FollowHyperlink RegSet.sGetMAPRegistry(200)
Application.Quit acQuitSaveAll
Exit_command14_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_command14_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_command14_Click
End Sub
In 2003 this worked fine but we always had to enable macros on opening the new one. This is now not required as the application is "Trusted" but in A2007 every time a database opens the "Getting Started with MS Access" window opens.
Is there some way I can switch this off as it is unnecessary and time consuming.

In the default property of a subform control I want to use a control of the main form without using names of forms, but using me and parent.
I used in default property of cboVATDetail: =Me.Parent!cboVAT, but it is not accepted. My aim is to use cboVAT of parent as default in cboVATDetail of child.

I am writing a book, using MS Access 2007 (seemed like a good idea at the time I started, and the report that creates the formatted book content works quite well).
The book content is "per paragraph" which gives me total flexibility to move content to whatever spot in the book I might wish, simply by changing the paragraph number (free field, not auto-number primary).
To save paper (or pages) in printing (or viewing) the book, I have the report printing off para by para (as many whole paras as will fit to a page). This is fine but I want each new chapter to start at a forced new page, for "presentation"/appearance sake.
The relevant fields for the purposes of this post are:
paranumber
paratext
chapternumber
forcepageifticked (a Yes/No box), which goes with each paragraph and which I thought might come in handy, I had in mind to link it to a page break control at the top of the "detail" part of the report in design view, and which would be "invisible" except if the report formatting process had got to the start of any chapter, and the Yes/no box was ticked.

I am new to access. When I try to create a control with control wizard, it advises that it will embed a macro that will not run nor be editable in Access 2003 or prior...
What do I have to do to get a control placed that CAN be run by those...? I do not know how to write code, and am really just feeling my way thru this...thus far unsuccessfully, I might add. More on that in the Forms forum...
This is just one of a billion questions I am slowly exploring.
Thanks for any assistance.:o

I am converitng a database with quite a bit of associated code from A97 to A2000. The following fails:
Dim ctlSample As Control
Set ctlSample = CreateControl(frm.Name, acLabel, acDetail, "", _
, sngLeft, sngTop, conWidthLabel, conHeight)
'set properties of the sample label
With ctlSample
.Caption = rst!SampAbrv
Is there a new syntax for ctl.caption in 2000? I've tried help and a web search but no joy.
Thanks,
Tiffany

We just upgraded to Office 2007 and are experiencing very slow access performance. This microsoft article addresses the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275085
It won't let me change Subdatasheet Name property to [NONE].
Even if I am able to change it, will this affect my table links. I have a lot of them.
I am just the part-time Access "programmer" here and am somewhat lost trying to figure this out. Does anyone have a simple explanation and solution? I would appreciate any help so much!!

I am pretty new to access, and I am wondering how you record the output of a formula in control source. Here is what I have.
I am trying to find how many days are between two dates. The formula that I put in the control source in the form is =IIf([txtQSFNonQSF]<>"qsf",CalcWorkdays([earlydater],[earlydatec]),"")
but it does not record to the field datecompleted.
How do I get this to do it.
Thanks
Greg

I have a main form with about six text boxs, these are too small to display the complete data so I created a form with a larger text box. When I dbbl-click in any of the various text boxs on the main form it would open the new popup form displaying the data. I need to be able to access the control source property of the popup form's textbox to change the control source to match the selected text box on the main form. This would allow me to use only one popup form instead of six.
The code I use to access the actual popup form itself is:
Forms![Notes].Form.Caption = " Notes "
Now I need to know what the code is to access the forms textbox control source data.
Hope I have explained this correctly

Ok, here is my question. I am just a little rusty since it has been a while since I have been in Access.
So I have a option group: option 1, option 2, option 3
If option 1 is selected I want textbox 1 visible, but textbox 2 and 3 not visible.
If option 2 is selected I want textbox 2 visible, but textbox 1 and 3 not visible.
If option 3 is selected I want textbox 3 visible, but textbox 1 and 2 not visible.
When the form first opens, all textboxes are not visible. What is the correct way to do this: code, macro, etc? and where should I place it? Should it be in the Afterupdate property of the option group?
Thanks!!

My question is in Access 2010 I am currently in the property sheet at a combo list i just added to a form to be more precise with the data the user will look for. My question is I know I have to be in Control source in order for the combo box to select the data that I entered from the table. When i click the arrow the drop list is empty and then when I click the elipses (three dots) it takes me into expression builder, so i am confused on what I should do to select the field I want the combo box to focus on.

I want to retrieve and assign values of a control's properties by naming the properties. So for example:
Dim myHeight As Long
Dim myPropertName As String
myPropertyName="Height"
myHeight = 315
Forms!Myform.MyTextBox.Height = myHeight
I can retrieve the value using Eval:
Debug.Print Eval("Forms!MyForm.MyTextBox." & myPropertyName ) gives 315
How can I do the inverse operation, ie.assign the value of a property whose name I have in a string MyPropertyName? I mean other than a brute-force approach with a huge Case.

I have the following code:
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object
Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart
FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0%"
I continually receive a runtime error 1004 " unable to get tick labels property of the axis class"
if I remove this code, then I error on the following code:
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object
Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart
If FrmGraphObj.SeriesCollection(2).HasDataLabels Then
also a runtime 1004: "unable to get the seriescollection property of the chart class" on the last line above
searched this forum and found:
If your chart is in a form (or report), you have to:
1) refer to the form (or report) name (Form_Charts)
2) refer to the name of the object frame holding your chart (.Graph1)
3) refer to the object within the frame (.Object)
4) refer to the application that created the object (.Application)
5) refer to the actual chart itself (.Chart)
6) refer to the axes collection and select the axis you want to reference - in this case the category, or X-axis (.Axes(xlCategory))
I made the assumption, that I would just replace xlCategory with xlValue for the Y-axis. So I'm back to:
Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Graph
With FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue)
.TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0%"
End With
Same error....
Looked in the Microsoft Graph Visual Basic Reference and it indicated:
"Tick-mark label text for the value axis is calculated based on the MajorUnit, MinimumScale, and MaximumScale properties of the value axis. To change the tick-mark label text for the value axis, you must change the values of these properties."
I reset my code to call these 2 functions prior to changing the number format.....
Public Sub txtMaxPercent_AfterUpdate()
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object
Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart
FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = txtMaxPercent
End Sub
Public Sub txtMinPercent_AfterUpdate()
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object
Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart
FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = txtMinPercent
End Sub
now I am receiving error 1004 again, this time it states "Unable to set the minimumscale property of the axis class" erroring on this line....
FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = txtMinPercent
debug.Print me.txtMinPercent
0.51

I have a text box in a report, with it's control source property set to =[BegDt].
Upon loading the report a message box pops up and asks the user for the value of [begDt]. This occurs 3 more times for 3 other parameters.
Now I want to change the design of the report so I decided to put these 4 parameters on a form so the user can fill in the 4 values all at once rather than responding to 4 message boxes that pop up when you run the report.
The problem is now the control source properties in all the different text boxes need to be changed to [forms]![frmABC]![txtBegDt] etc.etc. There are over 100 text boxes in this report that make reference to the 4 different parameters.
Is there a replace command I can use to change all the occurrences in the text boxes or perhaps a simpler way would be to pass the values to the report through code.
I tried placing this in the report header's format event and it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Code:Private Sub ReportHeader_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)begytd = [Forms]![frmABC]![txtStDt]endytd = [Forms]![frmABC]![txtEndDt]curmo = [Forms]![frmABC]![cboMo]curyr = [Forms]![frmABC]![cboYr]End Sub
I should mention that the report uses a table (tblRecap) as it's record source. I tried using a query that refers back to the form for the parameter values but that means I have to use the query as the reports record source and that creates a problem because the report needs fields from the table to perform calculations.
Can someone help me with a solution please.
Thanks for your time.

Two forms have matching fields (ContractID), and each form has different data displayed from different tables (SQL views, actually).
I want Access 2007 to stay on the same ContractID when the user switches to a different form.

Access 2007
In a table I have 2 fields:
D1 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()
D2 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()+1
In a form (bounded to this table) I have, of course, 2 controls bounded to this fields:
txtD1 and txtD2
If the user change the value in txtD1 (using the Date picker) I like to change the DefaultValue for txtD1 to the new date and the DefaultValue for txtD2 to the new date + 1 day. Something like this:
Code:
Private Sub txtD1_AfterUpdate()
Me.txtD1.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1
Me.txtD2.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 + 1 day
End Sub
I tried whatever crossed my mind... with the same "result" : #Name?
My Regional settings:
Short date format: dd.MM.yyyy
Date separator: Dot
Simple: 05.12.2013

Hi All,
I have a data access page needs a filter by a dropdownlist, the dropdownlist used is a html control and I use javascript to filter the data programmaticlly in the onchanged event of the control.
MSODSC.DataPages(0).Recordset.Filter="AppID = 3";
My problem is, when this statement runs, the page refreshes. But I don't need the page refreshes, it set the dropdownlist text to the default text, not the value user select. The browser is IE7.
How can I stop the page refresh itself?
Thanks and Happy New Year!!
