I have a form which has a subdatasheet attached to it. there could be 1000 records in the main form but only 10O records in the Subdatasheet that match the records in the main form , these are linked by a "product number" .
Is it possible for the row in the main form to be "red" where there is data in the Subdatasheet that is matched by the "product number".
Is there any way to highlight duplicates across a number of records on a continuous form (conditional formatting I presume)? My continuous form is filtered on load to show only the records relating to the specified date (specified before opening the form), and there is one field that I would like to highlight if there is a duplicate value in the same field on another record on the form. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that I need to update whenever a chosen business name changes. This is tied to a search function that updates/changes the business name, and this works fine. What I now need it to do is when the name is clicked on the table (which updates the respective business name) I need everything else to update with it.
I have tried refreshing the business name, the form, even the records themselves with onClick and onChange functions, but it still doesn't work.
Re-reading this I realize it doesn't make much sense, but hopefully the attached database will clear things up. When you type in the info in the search box, all the stuff in the right corner changes accordingly. If you click and highlight anything in the box in the center instead of using the search function, the business name at the bottom changes but everything in the right corner remains unchanged.
I have a form that acts as a search form where the user inputs a string of text which then updates and filters a list box. For some reason when it does this it highlights the 2nd row on that list, even if there is no data there. How can I get it to automatically highlight the first row? The database is attached and the form in question is FRM_SearchMulti.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to provide a visual highlight for users of a multi tabbed form. I do a check as users go from tab and tab and i.e. on exit event and I would like to highlight all mandatory fields that have been left incomplete.
I did a test with one control and it worked as expected with the after update event of the specific control.
I then altered the code to add another control, but it does not work as expected. It only highlights one control and not the other. I just recently started using vba, I adapt the code to fit multiple controls and make it work as expected.
Private Sub Ctl2_frm_tab1_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If (Len(Form_2.cmb_arName& "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_arName)) Or _
(Len(Form_2.cmb_val & "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_val)) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please complete the highlighted control", vbCritical + vbOKOnly

I have a continuous form that shows the results from a query like:
Red
Red
Red
Green
Green
Green
Yellow
Yellow
And I wanted to know if I can some how highlight in a white/yellow alternating color like for instance starting with the three reds being white then the three greens being yellow then the two yellows being white and so on. Maybe through conditional format?
I wish to highlight some fields on a form if their value differs from the previous record.
I'm OK with the code to determine this, but unsure as to where to put the code to set the fields initially?
I have two strings txtPrevPayment_Method and txtPrevProduct.
Where can I set them 'once' to be the same as the first record loaded in the form. Then in the Current event I check if they have changed and set font colour accordingly.
I have a Listbox on a fprm which has a button attached to it, the button allows you select one of the items in the listbox and append it to a table. the problem is that it currently allows you to add the item as many times as you like. How can I check for duplicates?
Code:
Private Sub CmdAdd_Click()
'Add new record to tblShootingTasks
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblShootingTasks ( ShootID, ContactName, Task ) " _
& "SELECT [Forms]![frmTasks]![ShootDateiD] AS ShootID, [Forms]![frmTasks]![Combo15] AS ContactName, [Forms]![frmTasks]![Frame17] AS Task;"
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub Combo1309_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Combo1309.Value = "Yes" Then
Me.Text1307 = Environ("UserName")
ElseIf Me.Combo1309.Value = "No" Then
Me.Text1307 = Environ("UserName")
End If
End Sub
I am using the above code to capture the login information. Is it possible to add a second criteria to the Me.Combo1309.Value = "No" that also highlights the Textbox (Gender) Red? Ideally, the value in this textbox would be switched to the opposite, but this option might be more trouble then its worth.
How would I go about writing some code to highlight the current day if a day field in a form matches.
i.e. I have a schedule form that has a field that has the day manually entered, so Monday, Tuesday etc.
And on the top of the form I have a text box set to =Now() and the date format set to dd mmmm - dddd
And what I want to do is make it so what ever the current day is, any records in the form that match the current day will be highlighted.
How do I turn off the highlight feature when a control on a form obtains focus?

I want to add a conditional formatting to a combo box to highlight if the value is not on the list.There is a process to read in data from a 3rd party excel sheet that has truck arrival dates and times. My form displays this data and allows the internal users to change it. My form has the "Trucks" field as a limit to list combo box - so basically any data can be read into this field but internal we can only change it to trucks on the list (from the trucks table). I want to highlight where the trucks value is not in our trucks list.

I have a form with three listbox. My issue is this, when I go from listbox to listbox the selected item in the previous listbox is still selected.
I would like it so when I go to the new listbox, then the previous listbox selection will no longer be highlighted.
I use the follow code, which works but the user has to double click on the listbox with the focus to make a selection.
Code:
Me.listbox.listindex = -1
I have the code in the lost focus event of the listboxes.
Is there a way to prevent the double clicking?
Hello all,
This is my first post. I have been trying to find a solution for the following issue. I have a Continuous form and I would like to highlight the record by clicking on any of the fields in that record, tried everything with no luck, any ideas?
Thank you
Hi guys
I just built a tracking database (I can't post it because it contains PHI, and I do hope I don't have to) and it's been giving this issue starting today.
When I am in a field the cursor automatically goes to the end and highlights everything between the end and where I click. So if I mistype the third character I need to delete everything from the end to the third character to edit it.
It just started doing this when I loaded it up. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks
I have a log of items I currently inventory. When you click on an item, it opens another form with a sub-form that lists the history of changes for said item in a continuous form display.
What I want to be able to do is when that form is opened, the sub-form will highlight the last entry (either bold it, or change the background).
Hi!
I would like to print a table including subdatasheets in Access. However, in Access 2002 it collapses them, and closes the table when I click on Print Preview. (In Access 2000 it works.)
Any ideas?
I have a table for Inventory Items which lists the Item #, Description, Vendor, Pricing, Etc. I also have a table for Inventory Control which lists the quantites in inventory, what was sold and bought, etc. I want to create a subdata sheet in the Inventory Control table, so when you expand it only the information on that item comes up, but when I create the subdatasheet it brings up all the items. How do I create the subdata sheet so only the information I want is shown and not the whole table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDear folks,
I have a form, which in it's turn has a subform (datasheettype). Each work with different tables and are related to eachother. Unique key of motherform's table has several occurences in the subform's table.
Enfin, what I now want to do is have a textbox inside my main form displaying the total amount of values of one of the subform's columns. Please advice!
Thanks so much in advance!
I want to apply a parameter query to a subdatasheet.
I have a primary query that has a list of all the machines we service, this same query will count the number of service calls within a given date range that the user inputs.
(For the date criteria- Between [Enter Period Start Date] and [Enter Period End Date])
The resulting query datasheet is linked to a subdatasheet from another query that searches all the service calls and links it to the Machine ID.
So when I expand the subdatasheet it shows all the service calls for that machine, beyond the date range.
How can I make it so that the date range from the primary query applies to the subquery?
(without having to re-enter the date range everytime I expand the subdatasheet)
Please forgive me if this has already been explained...but I've searched and searched and haven't found anything like it...
I have a form which contains a command button to open another form which is attached to a subdatasheet in Microsoft Access 2002. When I click on the button to open the sub form, I would like for it to automatically copy the contents of a text box on the original form to a text box on the sub form.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

What I am doing, is I have various products with 5 basic fields. I then wanted to add an array of text fields to 2 of those original 5 basic fields. I attempted to do this with a subdatasheet, however, a subdatasheet is not record specific, is not directed to a specific field, and really does not do anything that I want.
Say that the basic field is ProductDescription. I want one column of fields to correlate to it, like below.
ProductDescription
Is blue
Is large
Is heavy
Is strong
Each product will have a different amount of varying descriptor fields. Once understand how to incorporate this with my project, I then will need to understand how to add the subdatasheet to a report easily. Thanks for any help,

Linked field is shown both in Master and child tables, but not in the default subdatasheets made by when a relationship is made between a Master and Child Table.

Hi this is my first post... so hi all :)

there are about 90k of which are duplicates.
this is the basic feilds that are important in this case.
Id, data_source, data_recived, data_code,
what i want is to have a table with unique records (no dups in data_code)
this table will look like this...
Id, data_code, Num_dups, dup1_source, dup1_date, daysbtw_Dup1_dup2, dup2_source, dup2_date, daysbtw_Dup2_dup3 ,dup3_source, dup3_date, daysbtw_Dup3_dup4 ,dup4_source, dup4_date,
I know there is no more than 4 dups of each record.
what i want from this is a table that will give me a record of how many dups for each record then all the dates that they were added and the date between each record entry.
if anyone can help it would be great .
thanks in advance.
