Forms :: Command Buttons Are Not Displaying Properly?
Jul 10, 2013
Access 2013 People,where the command buttons are not displaying properly?Notice the words and images are nice and centered in the buttons. The buttons are all the same size.Now look at the same DB in Access 2013:
See how the buttons look bloated and the images and wording are not centered anymore. And working on it in design view is a nightmare! When you try to move the command button part of it is left behind every time to try to move it.You can turn the themes property to "Off" but I like the themes.
I have a cascading combo box on a work order form that pulls the contacts from the customer selected in the main box.
It's working fine, values are printing fine on the reports, etc. however on the form itself - when you change from one record to another....the value is not displayed even though it's there if you click the report.
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
I ma going to sound a complete idiot with this question, but I have been working on a database for some time now, successfully putting buttons on forms with the wizard, jumping from form to form, form to report, basically the button wizard used to work now it doesn't and I don't think I have done anything stupid. (I hope). The wizard was brilliant, I'm lost without it. How do you restore it?
I have a Visible form and an Invisible (visible=false) form open at the same time. Is it possible to use a button on the visible form to execute the code behind a button in the invisible form. The subroutine on the invisible form is Public. I tried DoCmd.RunCommand and a macro with RunCode but... nada...
(There is a valid reason for this approach but i will spare you the boring explanation. I can think of a work around where I can bypass this need, but this way is cleaner (there are cases where the invisible form is visible and used directly, the form has data which is sent to a report to create a label). I have done everything else with VBA code but for some reason can't get this to work, so now i am obsessed)
I am trying to create command buttons with a picture (bmp) on it, and centering the label and the pictures in the middle. I selected bottom position for the label, but it seems to keep the pictures always aligned on the left.
I have an initial start up page where someone in any division can go and select their division from a combo box. What I want them then to be able to do is click one of the forms (New Entry,Edit Entry,.....).
For the form New entry I am looking to open the form with the division name to filled into a text box. I also would like to have that box that box also correspond to a field in a the table for a new entry.
I'm using access 2003 sp2 with all the current updates. I've got several tables linked to a sql server 2000 DB. We use it for an app called Altiris. Most of the queries i've written from these various tables work fine. However, a couple of them for no apparent reason, do not display the correct data in the data sheet view when the query is ran.
for example, I have a simple query with two tables linked. The first field is asking for the "name" column of one of the tables. In the criteria of that column, I put something in to limit the names of the programs i'm looking for. Lets say I use LIKE '%adobe acrobat 7.0%' When I run the query, it returns a certain number of records, but in the name column, it has all wrong info. I just ran it and it came up with 4 records: "webcast....", "abacast client", "Ibm websphere", and something else. Nothing even close to "adobe...."
So then I export the query to an excel spreadsheet and then open. Guess what? It has the correct info. Four records of adobe acrobat. The other column I have is from the other table and is just listing pc names. They displayed properly in both datasheet and excel file.
does anyone have any ideas what could cause this? I've deleted the table and linked to it several times. I've used this table for many other queries and it works most of the time. I just have no idea what is causing it to do this for only a few queries.
I run a Query based on some data in a "drop-down" box. It works in just datasheet view, but when I print it on a report, it displays the position that the data is in the drop-down box. How do I display the data, not the position on the report? Here's an example: My drop down box contains: apples oranges bananas
My query returns apples, but in the report view it displays the number "1" instead of my data "apples". If the query returned oranges, the report would display "2" instead of "oranges" and so on.
I am making a database for some people I work with, I'm having trouble with making a button to work. I want a button to go to the next tab on the tab control, but still in the same record. I prefer not to use the vba, but if I need to use it
I made a Point of sale using a form with different sub-forms which have command buttons on it. They basically run a append query from tblStockMain to table cash and on to transactions. That works all fine no problem.
The one missing thing to make it sweet is to rename the command buttons automatically from tblStockMain. With other words, if I change a product in the table it would change the name on the button and the picture if possible with it.
I am brand new to MS Access 2013 & VBA.There is a form that collects the data and writes it to a SQL database. The form is a certificate order form for a school. There are two tables that data is written to. dbo.CertificateMaster & dbo.CertificationModules. There is a relationship between the two tables. A person will request the certificate and included in the request are the subject(modules) that the person has studied.As part of the request the college/school needs a printed copy of the request.As the report opens I need it populate certain fields with their full names. To do this I use the following script
Private Sub Report_Load() Dim strSQL1 As String, db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL2 As String, db2 As DAO.Database, rs2 As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL3 As String, db3 As DAO.Database, rs3 As DAO.Recordset
[code]....
Problem 1:
When drawing the data from dbo_tblCourse_Department I need to populate 4 textboxes on the report. I am able to populate PgmTitle &NQFLevel, but I keep getting "Item not found in this collection error for Credits & SAQAID.
Problem 2:
I need to populate the various courses with their name which is extracted from dbo_tblCourses. However only the first course name is visible in the report. I have tried all sorts of different iterations with IF Then or Do While to get the names in the correct line of the report.
I have two command add buttons on my form that go to two separate tables. I also have a go to next record button as well. Is there a way that I can put all three commands under one command button? They are already coded in VBA and all work properly individually, I just want to make it smoother if possible ..
I am a newbie at Access and I am currently learning it for my job...I have a database going and I am wanting to do two things and I can not figure it out for the life of me.
Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
How do I make the command buttons on my form actually do something, the only one that attempts to work is "DELETE RECORD" the others dont do anything at all
I want to create a new database which has a startup form that has 4 command buttons.. My problem is that I want that every click of the command buttons will take me to the main switchboard of the other/different database.. How am I going to link those buttons to different databases?:confused:
I know how to change the color of the font of the command button, but saw nothing in properties on how to change the color of the button... is this at all possible. If you need a reason, it is for designing preference really.
hey, i have a form which uses one table only which is for purchases. it has 4 fields:
memberID: productID: quantity: date:
and then it has a button - "Add Another Purchase" which confirms the purchase.
However, I want the stock number in tblProducts to decrease by the quantity whenever that button is pressed. I have tried using MS visual basics to enter a code but i dont think he "Stock number" is recognised, as it is in a different table to the one i used for my form. (i have linked the two tables, however)
where there is add, edit, save and delete buttons.. and that the record cannot be edited unless the "Edit button" is clicked and the entry will only be saved when the "Save" button is clicked. i tried to search for sample databases, but it doesn't inlcude a sample of this. thank you so much...

I'm running Access 2000 and want to use some different icons than available through Access on some command buttons. So far, I can only get it to accept bitmaps. This isn't a problem if bitmaps can have a transparency. I don't think they can though. Any suggestions?
I have a form listing clients. Each has a command button linking to another form with client details and other option. One the bottom of the form is an Add Client button. I want the user to only be able to add a max of 6 clients, and the buttons to these clients be invisible until the Add Client button is pressed and the information about the client is filled out. Then back on main form listing clients, the client name will appear with a command button that will link to client details. How can this be done? I've seen it done, but can't figure it out.
