Forms :: Unbound TextBox Character Limit
Feb 17, 2015I started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?
Unbound - Populate Textbox In Form
Nov 13, 2012I'm trying to populate a form textbox which is unbound.
I have table with a list of peoples login names and a query filtering these names once a user logs in. If the GetUserName() matches one of the names in the table then user is authorised. this part seems to be working fine. User not on the GetUserName() list the filter says blank ie Not Authorized.
How to take this confirmed user name and place it into a textbox on a form?
Table name: [tblUserNames] with [IngEmpID] & [UserName]
Query Name: [qryUserNames] with a Criteria GetUserName()
Forms :: Adding Two Unbound Textbox Date Pickers?
May 8, 2014I'm using Access 2007 and building a form with controls that will be used to query one of the tables in my database. To pull back results from this table between two dates I have used the "Add Fields" method to drag and drop two textbox date pickers onto the form from the list of available fields. Both of these controls are bound to the same date field in the underlying table.
Will this cause problems when a user attempts to select two different dates on the form? Will a date on the first control be mirrored on the second control and vice versa? Should I remove these bound controls and add two unbound textbox date pickers in their place?
I also need to ensure that the date selected on the second control is the same or later than that on the first.
Unbound Textbox On Form To Flash Green Or Red
Aug 24, 2011I have a form with one (field1) on it. Where users will enter data.
I would like to have a unbound textbox on the same form that will flash green if the data entered in field1 matches a value in Table. Or flash red if it doesnt find a match.
I tried the conditional formatting but i think my expressions are off.
Forms :: Unbound Textbox Print Preview - Display New Value On Each Page?
Sep 6, 2013I am working on a change control database where the users can enter a new version for the software they just released and send out a notification to the appropriate persons. I have a form where the user can select a combobox to pick the software version, which is bound to my "Releases" table. From the software version I use a DLookup in VBA to change the value of a another unbound text box using:
Me.Release_Type = DLookup("[Release_Type_ID_FK]", "Releases", "Release_ID_PK = " & Me.Release_ID)
This all works fine when I'm entering data in the form, but if I want to print the form, the unbound text box on each page is only calculated from the first record. The same thing happens if I build a report with the same fields and code.
For example: In print preview the text box on page 1 should say "Cat" based on the current record and the text box on page 2 should say "Dog". However, they both say "Cat"
How do I get the text box to display the new value on each page?
Forms :: Transfer Data In Unbound Textbox Into Separate Table
Jun 25, 2014Any way to transfer the data in an unbound textbox into a separate table.
User enters an amount into a textbox2, and then it does some calculations that involves textbox1 and textbox2. Finally, textbox3 has the final answer. Can textbox3 overwrite textbox1's data on the table and on the form?
Also, is there an "auto date" feature in tables? If new data is put into tables, Today's date appears on the date column?
Updating Unbound Textbox On Form Per Record Viewed
Jan 23, 2006Hey, I am trying to figure out how to update an unbound textbox on a form to reflect conditional data in other boxes when each record is viewed (pages works with reports but I cant find something similar with forms). such as if I had an unbound textbox that I want to = firstname+" "+lastname I would want for it to update it every time a user goes to the next record.. I can't seem to figure out a command or method that executes every time someone goes to the next record.. (and Im not too familiar with all the commands that come without a GUI).. thanks for your time
View 4 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Displaying Count In Unbound Textbox On A Form
Mar 10, 2014I have a form, which is bound to a table, with an unbound textbox.
I am trying to get the number of months an employee has/had worked.
In the table are two dates, Company Start Date, and Resignation Date.
There are three scenarios in which I need to calculate the months:No Resignation Date
A Resignation Date in the future
A Resignation Date in the Past
See attached PDF
The Employees are under a one-year contract which ends the day before the one-year anniversary.
I originally tried using DateDiff in the Control Source, but the IIF seamed too limited for my needs.
Code:
If [Resignation Date] = "" Then
If Month([Nichii Gakkan Start]) = Month(Date) Then
If Day([Nichii Gakkan Start]) < Day(Date) Then
MIS = DateDiff("m", [Nichii Gakkan Start], Date) - 1
[Code] ....
MIS = The name of the textbox in question.
Modules & VBA :: Split Form - Unbound Textbox To Recordset (Vice Versa)
Jul 8, 2015How to have the function of a splitform to a "mainform and subform"?
I have a main form "frm_main", and a subform "tbl_main" in continuous form which is linked to the table "tbl_main".
I want to be able to click on the record, then the infor will appear in textbox on the main form. I also want to be able to change the value in the textbox and on after update, it will update that record on the subform as well.
So far, in the frm_main Current, I have added the code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Form_frm_main.lblClient = Me.client_id
End Sub
So now, what code should I add to the After update of the textbox to find the current selected to update back the value of the textbox to the selected record?

Forms :: Bringing Entered Data From One Textbox On Form To Textbox On Another Form
May 17, 2013I currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.

Jan 24, 2015I have a database for billing. In my database, I have a form that consists of a main form "Order" and 2 subforms "OrderDetails" and "Customer" OrderDetails are to enter the products to be connected to the Order.

I have tried some different commands, but nothing has worked, also I have made a query which dose the same ting as the tekstboks, as the information in that tekstbox it not stored anywhere.
Unbound Textbox
Mar 17, 2006I have a form that calls up an employee that also lists their hire date. I have an unbound text box that calculates the years of service by DateDiff(). It works for the first record but sticks for all the subsequent records. I've tried an afterUpdate or Change on the bound Hire_Date text box that is Me.txtYearsOfService = DateDiff("yyyy",Me.Hire_Date,Now) but it still sticks to the first record.
I'm sure this is basic but can't see the obvious. Please relieve the pain.
Thanks
Simple Qry Using Unbound Textbox.
Jul 12, 2006Hi all,
I am experiencing problems trying to put together what I thought was a simple form that would
allow users to search for data from a field on one table and display the results in a data grid style from the query I have created. However the query is'nt working and I am sure it is because of the way I have coded the query to read from the form's textbox. The SQL code is below.
SELECT tblFiles.Vault, tblFiles.Wlt, tblFiles.CD, tblFiles.Media, tblFiles.ProjectNo, tblFiles.ProjName, tblFiles.FileName, tblFiles.Location, tblFiles.NetLoc, tblFiles.CreDate
FROM tblFiles
WHERE (((tblFiles.FileName)=[forms]![frmArchive].[txtprjname].[value]));
There is a value in that field as 'attachment' and if I type that in the textbox it will find the records that have exactly that string but if I type 'att' there are no results. I tried searching in help for 'Like' since I believe that is the problem with my code but it did not show me an example of how to code that in the query to refer to the object on the form.
the code I have on the button next to the unbound textbox is as follows...
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryFindPrjFile", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
Can anyone offer me any advice on how to do this?

Mitch...

Update Unbound TextBox
Jul 19, 2006Hello,
I'm having a problem with one of my forms, i have created an unbound text box called Hours. In it i will type a number. Then click on a button to create a report based on this number.
what is happening though is that when i click the report button the report is blank, if i close the report and then click the button again i get the expected results. What seems to happening is that after i click the button the first time the form refreshes itself and the number is picked up.
Is there any snippit of code i could add to the print report button so it will work first time?
