Forms :: Vary Sub Form Labels Depending On Other Value
Jan 21, 2015
I have a form containing a sub form.
On the sub form I am selecting products that I am selling to a customer whose details appear on the main form.
The products on the sub form are selected from a combo box. This section is in datasheet format.
Depending on the product sold some of the labels on the sub form are not relevant. And when this is the case I was thinking maybe the label is rendered invisible.
Maybe this is not the best way to handle this - or is it. It certainly is expedient.
Perhaps as well when the label is rendered invisible entry of a value into the corresponding text box becomes impossible.
Is there a better way to handle this?
How I can render the label invisible and disallow data entry depending on the value of the combo box.

I am running Access 2003 and have created a split form using one of the std form options. The file it is querying has about 20 fields per record. The split form that is generated has four columns of 10 fields each.
E.g.
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
Employee Fred Smith Weekending 24-June-2013
Age 25 Hourly_Rate $30.00
Normal_Time 24 Sick_Leave 8
Vacation_Hrs 8 Total_Hrs 40
etc
etc
Field10_Name, Field10 Contents, Field20_Name, Field20 Contents
When I view the form generated, some of these fields are too narrow and others are too wide. I would like to make the width of the fields various widths. But if I try to widen one field in the column all fields in the same column are made the same width. It appears as if they are multiply selected. Is there any way of selecting a single field and varying the width without impacting fields above or below it in the column?

I have a report that prints labels (similar to avery labels) which pulls data from a query. These labels are all unique and vary in length. Due to the length variance, I want the font size to get smaller for labels with more characters. I want the text to go down to another line when necessary.
In my report under the OnPage Event Procedure I wrote this:
Private Sub Report_Page()
If Len(Text2) > 20 Then Text2.FontSize = 8
If Len(Text2) > 10 And Len(Text2) < 21 Then Text2.FontSize = 10
If Len(Text2) < 11 Then Text2.FontSize = 14
End Sub
This works to some degree but the problem is that once there is a longer label, all of the proceeding labels are resized & the longer label that should have been resized was not.
Is there another place I should be writing this code? I looked under events for the textbox but there doesn't seem to be anything that would work since none of them would trigger when printing labels

I'm having trouble getting my form to be "blank" except for the labels upon loading. I've tried putting in some code "on load" but it doesn't clear everything. I haven't had this trouble on some of my other db's, the only difference here is it's a switchboard. I don't know if that matters.

I have a Table table_clients and a connected table (1-->many) table_invoices.
I have two forms:
form1(table_clients): all clients with subform1(table_invoices): all invoices for every client
the form2 and subform2 are the same, just objects are placed differently on page.
I want when I have opened a record on form1/subform1, to be able to click a button and open form2/subform2 filtered by the invoice_id and the client_id.

In Access 2007 (or 2010 , 2013), in a continuous form, I want to change the background colour of a text box depending on its value. Obviously, for each record, the color can be different.

I would like to only display certain fields on a form depending on a criteria in another cell. For example if some enters 4 in 'Schemes' it would display 4 data entry boxes scheme1, scheme2, scheme3 etc - is it possible?

I want to add a combo box to a form, where depending on the values entered in the box another combo box would show more values. In other words, if the first combobox had choices of 1, 2, 3 and 4, if 1 was selected the next combo box would have values a, b, c and d. If 2 was selected, it would have values of a, d, e, f and g.

I'm using a navigation control to switch between forms. In one of those forms, I have a continuous subform which is a list of Projects (source is a query) that is read-only. To edit a project, I can click on its name, which switches the form displayed in the navigation control via docmd.BrowseTo (with acEditForm as the last parameter). This works fine. The proper form opens, with the proper project being displayed.
Now, on this second form, I have on the right the list of tasks contained in the project in a continuous subform (source is a query), and on the left another subform which is kind of an "edit bar" that I use to actually edit the individual tasks. So, when I click on a task in the task list, the OnCurrent event triggers a docmd.BrowseTo command that updates the "edit bar" subform and passes the ID of the task as the WhereCondition parameter. This updates the values displayed in the Edit Bar to that of the selected task, which I can then edit.
Now here's the thing: depending on the project I open, the Edit Bar doesn't work. Actually, it looks like only one of the projects is working, while the others are not (and I managed to have a different project working, but only one works at any given try). When it doesn't work, the Edit Bar is in "NewRecord = True" for some reason. All the other properties of that subform seem to be the same between when it works and when it doesn't.
So, it looks like the same command (docmd.BrowseTo with acEditForm) opens the subform properly in acEditMode when it works, and in something else when it doesn't, depending on the parent record that's being opened.
This really gets me, I really can't figure out how that's even possible.
I suspect it might have something to do with locked records, maybe?

I have a table with records for products from each sales region (4 regions, N, NE, S, W). The table has the following fields: Region, Product Name, Product Description, Category, Business Line, and Supplier.
While the Product name is consistent across the regions the description, category, bus.line and supplier may have slightly different entries in each region. I need to build a query that when any of the Product Description, Category, Business Line, and Supplier fields do not match across divisions for each Product Name will display all the records for that Product Name. Any ideas?

I am trying to save specific data from a data entry form to a specific depending on what the user selects from a dropdown/combo box.
So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.

I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:
tbl_Courses
Course ID (Primary Key)
Course Title
Objectives
Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)
tbl_Instructors
Instructor ID (Primary Key
Last Name
First Name
Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)
[code]....
What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.
I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?

Hi,
I have a command button that opens a report. The report has many subforms in it. I am sending open args which existingstewardship. I want one of the labels of the labels to be visible if the me.openargs = "existingstewardship". the code is not working. I have tried to debug when I do this I have found the open args are null and I am wondering if the open args are null is this because they were sent to the main report from the command button and the subforms in the main report do not get passed the open args.
Does anyone have any idea ? how I could make the box visible or not visible in subreport from the command button. The other option I have would be two different reports. Thanks PWF

I cannot link a label with a control. I don't know how it happens, or rather how I do it, but on various forms the label is not linked to the proper control. I try to do it by clicking on the warning popup on the right side and indicate I want to associate the label with the control, but sometimes it just doesn't work. That is, if I set the visibility of the control to True or False depending on the value of another control, the label still appears.
I've looked in the properties of each, but there doesn't seem to be anything there to indicate the link or association. Other than laboriously copying and pasting the label back on the form with the control highlighted, is there any way else to do this?

I have a problem with the connection between the labels and fields in designing my form.Is there a command do eliminate the association between the two? If not I was thinking if there is a problem to delete the labels and make new ones but by doing this Access (2010) says the label is unassociated.

Has A 2013 changed the way that labels are aligned, or do I need to look for some other setting. Normally in A 2010 and 2003 I could highlight a row of label click size/space > equal vertical and it would move the labels.

I want to be able to do something to several labels, e.g. make them invisible, using a FOR loop. They are all named similarly, with ascending numbers on the end, e.g. lblName20
Say I want to make lblName20 to lblName40 invisible. I need something along the lines of:
Code:
Dim labelname As String
For c = 20 To 40
labelname = "lblName" & c
labelname.Visible = False
Next c
Of course, that doesn't work, because it doesn't recognize the string as a label name. How do I go about this?

Dim strapp As String
Dim strapplabel As String
[Code] ....
It's falling apart at the button click.

I have a form with a few labels that for some reason, very often will have a strange looking line above them after I am done clicking on them. I can't seem to find out why this happens. It happens on every label on this particular form.
Please take a look at the attachment for a screenshot.
I'd appreciate any advice you may have on why this happens and how to fix it.
