Is it was possible to wrap text in listboxes. some fields are very long at times and i was hoping there would be a way to wrap it so I didnt have to make the width of that column extra long. I am trying to conserve as much space as possible on the form.

Is there a way I can prevent wrapping in a memo field box?
I have a memo field with a list of email addresses and usernames however the email addresses often just wrap around the end of the memo box just creating a new line in the memo box rather than properly showing the email without the wrapping.
Even if the message scrolls out of the box, id rather that then wrap the text.
Also is there a way in which I can enable someone to open the "ZoomBox" whilst the text box is locked/disabled.
I have 2 form ( Form A & Form B )
Form A contend Contain ListBox
Form B contend Contain bound Text box
I need to know how when double click ListBox at Form A passing value of listbox.Column(0) to bound Text box at Form B.
I'm working on a series of forms for a company that I'm currently employed at, and on one of them I've made a listbox which will display records which need action in the next 2 weeks.
That's all going fine. However, it it possible to make the items in the listbox flash red? Just so that our external worker REALLY has no excuses!
Just to clarify, I want the text identifying the records (E.g. Name, FinalDate) to flash, but not the headers for the columns in the listbox.
I have an unbound listbox on a form which displays a list of staff, both past and present, based on an SQL query.
I want to be able to differentiate between current and past staff using different colors, i.e. Black text for current employees and red for employees who have left, based on a field (True/False) in the original staff table.
I want to wrap up an Access 2013 desktop app so that the user only sees the splash screen. I can get rid of the Navigation pane, but not the Ribbon or the Quick Access toolbar. At this stage I do not want to split the db or prepare it for distribution. I don't really want to generate a custom ribbon, as I shall need the standard one for development.I'm sure this used to be easy back when I last used Access (97), but cannot believe that I cannot find it anywhere in 2013.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using the selections made of the form to generate a query for the user.
I have a CITIES listbox that is populated with values from a stored query.
I would like to make it multi-select and populate a LOCATIONS list box and a NAMES list box based upon the CITIES that are selected.
I have the locations currently populated from a stored query that reads the City selection from the Form. It looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) AS Expr1
FROM t_location INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_location.LOCATION_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.LOCATION
WHERE (((t_location.CITY)=[Forms]![MasterQueryGenerator]![CityList]));
I also want multi-select so that is you can un-select all and get the results for all cities.
Here is my half thought approach.
Code:
Private Sub CityList_AfterUpdate()
'Dim LocQryStr As String
'Dim r As Integer
'Dim ctl9 As Control
'LocQryStr = "SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) " & _
[Code] ...
I intended to have the variable LocQryStr as the row source but I abandoned the idea of having multi-select when I saw that .Selected(I) never returned true. Its like the values aren't read in this subroutine.

1. On my main form, I have a listbox, I would like to edit the values of the listbox.
To do this, I have a popup form with 2 listboxes, one to have the values of the listbox on the main form, and the other listbox with option values for the 1st
1) how to i pass the rowsource sql of the listbox on the main form to the listbox on the popup form
2) how on closing the popup form, do i update the rowsource sql listbox on the main form from the changed value of the popup form listbox rowsource sql
Okay then, after much trouble and confusion, I finally realized I need to use an Extended listbox in order to allow for multiple items to be selected from a list on my form (rather than the evil multiple selection combobox!).
However, now I am trying to figure out how to make one listbox (IndustryClassification) only be visible if the item "Industry" is selected in another listbox (TypeOfBusiness). Coding I can use for this in the AfterUpdate event of the listbox?
Firstly, is it possible to hide unchecked values in a listbox? I have a user with several roles and I want to only show the ticked roles in the listbox.
Secondly, can you create a hyperlink on listbox values? i.e, if I click on "Manager" in the roles listbox, it follows that to another form and opens the record about managers?
hi everyone..
can the text in the listbox be printed?? not the entire form.
I have a multicolumn listbox on my form. It works, but the second column is an amount, and I would like that column to be right-adjusted. Is there a way to do that?

I have a form on which I use combo boxes to filter a listbox using the following code.
Private Sub FilterpartsList()
Dim strRS As String
' Filter the list box appropriately based on the combo box selection(s)
strRS = "SELECT partsquery.partname, partsquery.Heritage, partsquery.Description FROM partsquery"
If Not IsNull(Me.cbomodelID) Then
strRS = strRS & " WHERE modelID = " & Me.cbomodelID

Hi
I've created a listbox and am using the following code
stWhat1 = "": stCriteria1 = ","
For Each vItm1 In Me!LstArchive.ItemsSelected
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & Me![LstArchive].Column(0, vItm1)
stWhat1 = stWhat1 & stCriteria1
Next vItm1
Me!txtCriteria1 = CStr(Left$(stWhat1, Len(stWhat1) - Len(stCriteria1)))
The problem is that my bound column is a text field. I'm really struggling on where to put my quotations so that I get the following with the In function
In('00638','00639').
Any help or pointing in right direction would be very much appreciated

I have a listbox where the rowsource is a SQL statement. I didn't know if I should try that or just use a query for what I am doing. The listbox is based on our client table, which is a huge number of people, and is showing 3 out of 5 fields.
I have two text boxes, one for first name and one for last name.
I would like the listbox to filter as I search by either field OR by both. Right now, I have the on change event for each with a SQL statement with a Like '*" & Me.textboxname.text & "*' and then a Me.clientlist.rowsource= at the end. So I can get each text box to filter the listbox individually, but I can't get it to filter with both. I think it is a matter of the focus changing, but I could be wrong.
How do I return the Column Header Text on Right Click of listbox?
Thanks
the title explains this..
im not even sure if this is possible.. but if it is it will be just what i need.
basically the job1 form has a search feature added to it..
as users type the passenger name in the form.. a listbox below updates if a match is found..
if you can imagine the situation..
my user will be entering jobs into this form.. they will not know whether or not a passenger has used us before.. the only way they will know is if they see in the listbox the same name.. and pickup/destination/phone no. details as the job they are about to enter
i wondered if it was possible for the user to click on the customer in the listbox.. and drag and drop it into the passenger name textbox..
can this be done.. the attatchment is very simple.. one form.. job1.
if someone can explain to me how to do it.. or perhaps alter the db i have attached i will be most grateful
thanks
I am totally new to ms access form development.
I have to construct a form with a text box a command button and listbox.
listbox contains the list of items.I have populated the list box with the items in the tables.Now on the same page I have to add new item via text box and when click command button it should be added(all these thing I have done).
Problem is that I have to do some thing like
if a type any letter in the text box all listbox item are arrange like that like
If Items are abcd,aaaa,aabb, aa,abb,bba,bcd,bab
I enter ba in the textbox then itme should be arrange like
bab
bba
bcd
aaaa
aabb
abcd
I have a listbox with several options.
When the user selects one of these items, i want a combo box's text to be changed to the selected item in the list box.
The listbox is named : D_OutputLsb
The combobox is named : D_ComponentNameCmb
I have a field in a table where it is a lookup is a combo box. So this makes the data type of the field a number when in reality it is a text. When I have this field show in a list box it shows the number instead of the text.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I've searched the forum to see if there are any existing threads that might help me, but I've not found anything that does...
(I think this thread ( http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=93444&highlight=Copying+data )may be trying to achieve something similar to me, but I'm a beginner and don't really understand it)
I shall stop waffling! I'm not entirely sure that what I'm trying to achieve is possible, I expect it probably is!
Right, I have a form (frmGroupRegister, which contains exactly the same fields as the table it comes from, tblGroupRegister), which consists of three things:
-GroupDate - The date a group took place on. It is my primary key, as no more than one group occurs on a specific date.
-ParentList (A listbox which contains a query showing the ID number, forename and surname of everyone in a table, tblParentDetails)
-ParentsAttending (A blank listbox)
I would like to place buttons in between the ParentList and ParentsAttending, which would allow users to conduct a 'register' of attendance by copying individual/multiple details from ParentList into ParentsAttending (much like you get when choosing which fields to include in a form when using a wizard for example). I would also like them to be able to remove people from ParentsAttending by using a button in case of accidentally adding the wrong person into the ParentsAttending box.
I'm aware that another, probably simpler way of achieving this would be to use a tick-box system, but I feel that visually, the first method would both look better and demonstrate who is present more clearly.
Any help would be much appreciated, but my Access skills are quite basic and things will probably need to be spelled out for me.
I'm using Access 2000 and Windows XP.
Thanks for your help,
Alice :)
I've got the following query as the row source for a listbox on a main form. cboShootName is a combobox on that same form.
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT QrySbfShotList.CamerasFK, tblCameras.CameraNum
FROM QrySbfShotList INNER JOIN tblCameras ON QrySbfShotList.CamerasFK = tblCameras.CamerasID
WHERE (((QrySbfShotList.shootsFK)=[me]![cboShootName]))
UNION
SELECT null, "(ALL)" FROM QrySbfShotList INNER JOIN tblCameras ON QrySbfShotList.CamerasFK = tblCameras.CamerasID
WHERE (((QrySbfShotList.shootsFK)=[me]![cboShootName]));
When the form loads, it prompts for a value for me.cboShootName, even though I've given the list box a default value. More important, after the cboShootName is established, ie. in its after update event, if I put
Me.lstCamera.requery (lstCamera is the list box in question), the system prompts me for the value of me!cboShootName. I know the cboShootName is in scope because I see its value with a msgbox diagnostic.
The first column of both the cboShootName and lstCamera refer to numeric fields. Both controls are unbound.
What am I missing? Is there a trick to referencing control values in a query?
In a form - How do I layer an object on top of a listbox?
