Forms :: Text Box To Show Member First And Last Name?
Aug 11, 2015
I created a text box on a form to show the member's first and last name. Works great! I now want to add it to show if they are a Jr. or a Sr. I thought I knew enough to make it work, but now instead of the name it just shows "-1". Here's the expression in the box...(if possible I'd like to keep it as an expression, since I'm still new to the "behind the scenes stuff" and don't know VBA)
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to get an unbound text box on a form to show the average of four other text boxes on that form. A bit of searching led me to the code below as a possible solution, but it isn't working.
Code:
Dim nbrFieldsUsed As Integer Dim nbrTotal As Double nbrFieldsUsed = 0 nbrTotal = 0
If Not IsNull(Me!txtEWT_STD_1) Then nbrFieldsUsed = nbrFieldsUsed + 1 nbrTotal = nbrTotal + Me!txtEWT_STD_1 End If
[code]....
My thinking was to have this code on the 'After Update' event (or maybe On Change?) of each of the four text boxes which would then give a running average in the box that shows the average?
I have two different fields in 2 tables, ICname and WCname, and if there is an instance where they are the same I need to have a textbox on the main form show "Same Name" but if not the box should remain invisible.
I have created a query that searches through all the names and only prints out those that have the same name in each table, but I don't know where to go from here, and I'm not even sure how to do this conceptually. Is using a query the right way to go about doing this?
I have a form and a text box. I wanna when open this form in the text box my pc processor id will show. I know i have to use form load event but i have not skill in vb.
I am receiving the Method or data member not found error message when I attempt to add a new record in form view. I have been working in an old 2002-2003 version of Access until last week when it was converted to 2007. The old version allowed for additions just fine but now after the conversion something is wrong. The code is below. I underlined the line throwing the error message (FindFirst). Code is not my strong suit.
'Open form to new record gstrCallingForm = Me.Name strDocName = "frmNewApplicant"
I have a text box on my form which I use to attach hyperlinks to pdf's, this works great but after inserting a hyperlink nothing is displayed in the text box to show it has been linked unlike using attachment, the only way I know if that a hyperlink is placed is to right click and go to hyperlink and then open, is there a way to show the link on the text box and just double click on it to open the pdf. I am trying this as the size of the database will far exceed the 2gb that access allows if I just use attachments , even if I split the database (over 10000 pdfs )
How to change a combo box to a text box control in a subform for a field that is based on a two-column value list. I want to be able show the value in the unbound column (which is a text value instead of a number).
My subform has a field called "ProjectStatus". This field is a value list in my projects table with the following row source:
So, it is set as a two-column value list with a number data type for the bound column. In my forms, column 1 is made invisible (set to 0") so that only the text value is shown to the user. This works fine with combo boxes.
However, I want to change the unsightly combo box to a text box and show the text value of the unbound column (this form will only be used to show data not for entry). When I change it to a text box control, the value that appears is a number, of course.
If ProjectStatus were based on a table, rather than a lookup value list, I would query it but I am not sure how it should be done with a value list. I could just store the text value instead, I guess, and redo a bunch of stuff or I could create a "Status" table and redo a bunch of stuff (this seems like my lot in life lately) but I feel like there should be some way to do this.
I have a form (employee info) that requires the user to do a search to find the employee before then editing anything that needs to be edited.
I have a search box that will find the relevant record without any problem, however what I am looking to do is hide text boxes on the form and have them appear only once the search has found the matching record.
If no matching record is found, I would then like a message box that states 'No matching employee, would you like to add an employee' and when the user clicks OK, it then reveals the same hidden text boxes and sets focus to the first one of the bunch.
Now, I have used the 'me.textboxname.visible = True (or False) elsewhere, however, I am not sure how to trigger that after a search.
I assume I am looking at an If statement, but I am not sure how to construct it, hence turning to the experts.
Code: Private Sub txtEmployeeSearch_AfterUpdate() If txtEmployee = DLookup("EmployeeNumber", "tblEmployeeInfo") Then Me.txtboxname.Visible = True Me.txtboxname2.Visible = True DoCmd.GoToControl "txtboxname" Else MsgBox "Employee Not Found", vbYesNo <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< End If End Sub
I know that there is a massive gap where I have put <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< - but I am stumped as to what to put in there?
I have a form containing 4 text Boxes txt1, txt2, txt3 and txt4

I have a report base on my table. Here a check box. I wanna show two label text hide/show base on when check is true or false. It will be when report will be open. I have try this but nothing is happened.
Code: If AffecteAc= True Then affected.Visible = True general.Visible = False End If
I've created a form with two textboxes and a listbox. What I want to do is to show in the listbox the registers filtered by the 2 textboxes. But I would like that the listbox refreshes while typping in the textboxes.It was no problem to do filtering with only one textbox. The rowsource of the listbox is a query in which I set in the criteria Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox1].[Text] & "*"Then I write the code for the change event of the Textbox1:
Private Sub Textbox1_Change() Listbox1.Requery End Sub
With this I have no problem. The problem is when using the 2 textboxes. I write the same in the criteria, Like [Forms]![Form1]![Textbox2].[Text] & "*", on another field but it doesn't work. I also write the code for the second textbox:
Private Sub Textbox2_Change() Listbox1.Requery End Sub
The listbox doesn't filter with both textboxes. When you type in one of them, the listbox filters from it, but when you type in the other textbox, the listbox shows the whole table filtered with the characters of the second textbox.
I have a form (frmTimecardsDataEntry3*) that needs to requery combo boxes to narrow down the selections offered in the dropdown of each combo box.
It is a data entry form. I.e. Dataentry is set to yes.
The ClientName combo box has an after update event which requeries the matter combo box, so that the MatterName combo box dropdown only shows the matters relating to that client. This works just fine.
The MatterName combo box has an after update event which requeries the Rate combo box so that in the Rate combo box dropdown only the hourly charge rates relating to that matter are shown. That works too. So far so good.
I then tried adding another after update event to the MatterName combo box, so that another combo box, Application, was requeried too, so with the Private Sub it looked like:
Rate.Requery Application.Requery
But this resulted in the error in the title to this post and the debugger highlighted in red the word Requery in the phrase Application.Requery.
I thought maybe Access does not allow two requeries resulting from one after update event, so instead I took Application.Requery out and placed it as an after update event in another combo box which did not have any other after update events to run.
However, this resulted in the same error.So the error appears to have something to do with trying to requery the Application combo box but I cannot see what is causing the error.
The Application combo box SQL is:
SELECT Applications.ApplicationID, [ApplicationDate] & " " & [ApplicationName] AS ApplicationDisplay, Applications.ApplicationDate, Applications.ApplicationName, Applications.MatterName FROM Applications WHERE (((Applications.MatterName)=[Forms]![frmTimecardsDataEntry3*]![MatterName])) ORDER BY Applications.ApplicationDate, Applications.ApplicationName;
This is the same arrangement of SQL that I am using on the other requeried combo boxes that work. When I take the WHERE statement out of the Application SQL and run it the query returns all of the applications.
I am not sure what the error code is trying to tell me about the attempt to requery the Application combo box.
I have a yes/no box in the form and when the firm is first opened it has a small square dot in it, but as soon as any data is entered in the form the dot clears and leaves the usual empty tick box that you would expect to see.
Also, another possible symptom is that I had another version of this form previously working quite well except that when I did several data entries all at once, so I had several forms filled in with different data (before refreshing and thus entering the data in the table), when I scrolled between the forms I kept losing the MatterName data when I scrolled back, and then when I re-entered the ClientName data the correct MatterName data returned without me having to use the dropdown to select it.
I have had an earlier simpler version of this form working for some time, with ClientName requerying MatterName and MatterName requerying Rate, and I am using the same SQL structures in the new form but getting the error in the title to this post and the other isues just described.
I want to show an subform where in I would like to display images,txt,xlsx that are stored in a directory as icons which when clciked would open the respective files.The info related to the images are stored in t_CustomerFiles.

I would like to show them on a continusous sub form .. I am using image control by setting its control source property but it does not seem to work..Do I need something else for the xlsx and txt files..
I am getting method of data member not found for the following code when inserting values to a table. Form has three frames. Add/Insert is on OnClick Event.
I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True Else Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False End If
Lets start by saying I am not a programmer but by modifying examples found in books I have over the past few years built an order processing data base for our business. An expert would think what a mess but it works for ME. The problem being I would like my staff to be able to use it.There is one problem which I can get around but they would not be able to. The database has two tables (well more than that but its two I am talking about here) One which holds details of 3000 + Roads. The other has House or Firms names and directions. On the order form I have two Combo boxes one to enter the Location (House Name) another for the Road Name. When you enter a House name the Not In List event looks to see if we have delivered to that location before, if so displays the full address. name,number,road,town in the combo box fed from a query which uses an EXPr to re join the data fields to display as one. If the location has not been used before a yes/no box comes up. If yes a new form opens to enter the details and choose the road/town from the road list.Then you are returned to the order form. The problem is let say you start to enter "Orchard Cottage" up comes Orchard Cottage,London Rd,Larkfield. Want you want to enter is another Orchard Cottage in say Ditton. Because you already have one in the list the combo box will not ask if you want to enter a new one. I can get around it by putting an extra letter in the name, then once the order had been finished go to the location table and take the letter out. No good for the Staff as you can see. Shame the rest works fine. Anyone have an answer ?
I have several queries to find expired members, current members etc, however I can't get new members this year. Iv'e tried the unmatched query wizard using these two queries, also several other queries and tables but I either end up with all records or none. I'm going round in circles. I don't want a parameter query to ask the date, just some code to get the new records for this year and when the query is run next year it will show the new records for that year etc. Any help would be appreciated. My year date starts August 1st and ends following July 31st.
the next and back button work fine. the trouble i have is with the bleu balls when you focus on one of the balls a text must come to the text field. i used a label and an caption code but i dont get it to work i still need to click for it appears. And thats what i dont whant because when you click another form i beiing opened.
Ok, so I'm pretty new at this stuff, and while I'm sort of familiar with VB, I feel like there should be a fairly simple expression that could solve my problem. I have a calculated text box that is based on what is entered in another text box, like so:
the source number is in a field called Word Count. my calculated box's Control Source is =([Word Count]/250).
My goal is to automatically calculate the number of pages based on the number of words per page (250). I used Format so the bank rounding problem doesn't effect the outcome, but if the Word Count field is less than 125 the number of pages is 0. which is obviously not the case. I've tried fiddling around with the rounding, but then it starts rounding higher word counts up too soon.
ok here it is i have a database for members. i have a table with the general info for the members like name, date of birth, that kind of stuff. i want to know how i can make sure that there are no duplicate members. when in the form.. how can i validate that the member isn't already there?
the problem is i can't validate the name for duplicates because there isn't only one John in the world. or the name might match all together but the birthdate isn't the same.. things like that i'm sure this is a very common problem so there might be an established solution i made a search for duplicate reord. but not sure what to do with it
i was thinking of creating a special value using firstname-lastname-birthdate so they'd be unique... but even after doing that. how can i make sure the record isn't added to the table until it is validated? hope i was clear with my question.. thanks for the help
I am new to Access and have made a databse using Access 2000. This is used for a dart league.
In one of the Tables called Members each "record" is made up of the persons details (Name,address, etc). Included in the Row record I have "fields" (columns) that keep track of the points each person hits on a nightly basis. I also have a Total Field.
Exampleof fields)
ID#,First Name, Last Name, Address, Phone #, Week 1, week 2, week 3, Total
How do I get the Total Field in the record to add up the nightly points in Week 1 + Week 2 + Week 3.?
In Excel it would be a simple calculation (e.g =sum(a1+b1+c1) etc.
As I said I am new to this database and it is very frustrating at the moment. I have used the help function but it mostly double dutch to me.
Hi I am a member of a local tennis club and they have asked me to help them to build a database that will cover membership details and annual fees. Does anybody have a template that would be useful to get me started with this? Obviosly, it could be for any type of club. Regards Noel
Hi *,OK, still new to Access so I apologize in advance if that is a dumb question ;)I have a table "survey" where I wanna store number values (0,25,50,75,100 respectively). The user is supposed to use a form to input the data into the table. For this purpose, he/she is supposed to use a drop down box.So, is it possible that the drop down box does not show the values but instead a verbal description of these values (very important, important, average, etc.)? What I have tried was to create a table with the number values and use this table as data source for the drop down box... it shows the values but for the end user, verbal descriptions would be better...Thanks!Steve
In my website I've created a admin login with some ASP pages to edit and update stories. I use an acces database and installed HTMLarea for WYSIWYG editing.
When I update text, all the HTML tags show als plain text in my website. For example: I make a headline bold in my wysiwig editor and I update my text, it just shows: <B> here's a new story </B> If I look in my database I have a field 'text' wich is a memofield and I can see the html tags have been stored into my database. <B>here's a new story</B>
It looks like it doesnt recognize the html tags as HTML, but just as plain text...
Can I use HTML-tags in an acces database and how do I get them to show up right in my website?
