General :: Access Won't Show Specific Fonts
Aug 27, 2012
I'm using a certain font - Guttman Yad-Brush (Hebrew, comes as a part of windows in Hebrew) in some forms and reports. On the design view of the objects, everything is OK. But when I try to display the form, or a print-preview of the report, Access refuses to show me that font. The text is clearly visible, in Hebrew, but in another font (I think Times-New Roman, but not sure).
The font is well installed, and works fine on other Office applications. Couldn't reproduce this behaviour with other fonts (but obviously haven't tried them all).

I'm using Access 2010's DoCmd.OutputTo in VBA to export reports to PDF. The "look and feel" of the PDFs are very important, as they will be distributed to clients of my company. I'm using special corporate fonts that are legally licensed for embedding as a subset. Two are .ttf (TrueType) and two are .otf (OpenType) fonts. The ttf fonts embed fine; the otf fonts do not, and the PDF viewer substitutes something it thinks is close (but really isn't). In the properties of the fonts in Windows Control Panel, the embedding properties are exactly the same for both.
Any way to force the fonts to embed? or any other workaround? Also, is there any way to edit-protect PDFs with VBA code? Or apply any other type of PDF security such as requiring a password to open?

I have a table called "tblEmployees" with columns "EmpName, EmpPassword, strAccess" in my table
The login form works but I wanted the user to go to a specific form that would be designated under strAccess
I have this code but it totally wrong to what I want it to do but not sure where to start
'Close logon form and open relevent page
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = Forms!CopyfrmLogon!cboEmployee.Column(3)
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
[Code] ....
"stDocName = Forms!CopyfrmLogon!cboEmployee.Column(3)" - this is the line that needs to be debugged ... I need something that says open form specified in the the column "strAccess" of the "tblEmployee" tables

I have a button which runs some VB, it brings up various message boxes as it prints a report to file, runs a query etc etc. I am hoping to display a basic form, which simply covers most of the screen and states "Please Wait" or something. I have already built the please wait form (frm_please_wait) and have set it to pop up. I have added it to my VB to open before I run the queries/output to file however the messages still appear on top..
How can I force the form to display on top of everything else in access ( it is only visibly for a few seconds, depending on the spec of the pc).

I wonder how MS Access manage to show long list of records when we want to browse them in Datasheet view.
1 - Does it load limited amount of records on start-up and then load the remainder upon user interaction (scrolling for example)?
2 - Does it care about such things automatically or natively?

I created this Vehicle Maintenance and Parts database. In the 'Vehicle Parts Maintenance' button in the frmMenu form, you are supposed to choose the vehicle on the left side then with the drop down on the top right pick what maintenance type you want. Right now when you pick 250 hours it shows all parts attached to the vehicles not only the parts that are supposed to be changed at that maintenance cycle.
The whole database is attached.

I put the form in report view and used equal to but it didn't. work. Heck I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly.

I have attached a student database that I created using the student database template in Access and have added additional tables, queries, etc. to fit our needs. One of the issues I'm having is users who are not very computer literate don't always remember if they have entered the right dates for attendance.
I had the idea of creating a "sample" student for each corresponding cycle with 100% attendance so they can compare what they have entered to what they "should" have entered. The reports are based on a query, so I know I can have the sample student show up with the correct information there. However, in the STUDENT DETAILS FORM, there is a pre-made code for the student's names to appear in the drop down and when you forward to the next record.
Can I have that altered to only show the ACTIVE students? This way the termed students would also not be a part of this drop down. I should still be able to go into the table itself and put in the sample student information when I create a new cycle, correct?

One more question... I'm loving Access... much more than Lotus Approach!! :-) Here's something I've wanted to do in Approach... how do I do this in Access???
REPORT showing all customers
1. John Doe, owes 9.00
2. Jane Kane, owes 10.00
3. Rob Johnson, owes 30.00
4. Albert Icar, owes 22.00
5. Johnny James, owes 5.00
Query all customers owing more than 10.00 (in this example it would be Rob and Albert).
In the report, I want Rob and Albert's name to be red font only, while everyone else is just regular black font.
Thanks to all posters who have assisted me thusfar, and anyone that can help with this.

I developed a report using Courier New font. When I print to a HP4050 from my computer the report is correct. When I print to the same printer from a different computer fields are truncated as if it is using a proportional font.
Any idea as to whether this is a Windows or Access issue?
Thank you in advance for any help...

I have a form and this form shows some values from one table. One of the fields named as Key. I want to open another form and show the record that has the same value as Key.
I am able to make this with filter but the form opens and when the user navigates the record, it creates a duplicate value in related table.
I want to open form and find specific data to display and then stop at this record.

I have a form based on a query in datasheet view. What i would like is to show only those records that fulfill the truepart of iif statment, and do not show the ones that fulfill the false part.
I have the following fileds in the query
month
currency 1 checkbox
currency 2 checkbox
sum
In the form, the control named month contains the following code:
control source: =IIf([checkbox1]=no;[month];0)
So this gives the appropriate months, but also shows the all other records with a 0 in the month field. I would like to get only the records shown that are correct with the truepart of the statement.

Hi,
I've recently started working on a new database and already have most of my forms, queries and reports ready. However, I've been using a special font that is not available on most PCs. I was wondering whether it was possible to save the font inside the MDB file so that it can be viewed properly on other systems as well ? (Sort of like in Powerpoint).
Another thing (I guess it's impossible but I'll ask anyway) : Is it possible to save the whole Windows Style design (Scroll Bars, Arrows, Icons, Menu colors, etc..) in my database file ?
Thanks for your help,
Daniel.

I want to change the font spec for certain controls on a command bar I've created but can't find out how, or even if, it can be done.
Does anyone know how to do this? There might be an API call somewhere but I don't have any details.

I atrying to make a query that shows the price for a product, based on two parameters.
Parameter one is a product code.
Parameter two is a date. This date falls between two dates.
I have one list (table) where is product code and invoice date.
The second list (table) I have, contains product code, and price valid from date, and price valid to date columns. This price valid to date is often not filled, and the price I still valid as we speak. If the date is filled there is often a new entry with an updated price. But sometimes, even if there is a new entry in the table, the date 'valid to date' is sometimes also not filled.
I would like Access to show me the valid price for the specific product. What criteria should I give in the macro, in order that Access shows what I want?
For illustration purposes, a small overview of my table:
Product code, Price, valid from, valid to
AAAA, 12000, 01.01.2012, 31.12.2012
BBBB, 16600, 01.01.2012, 12.06.2013
AAAA, 13500, 01.01.2013, 28.08.2013
AAAA, 11500, 29.08.2013,
BBBB, 17600, 13.06.2013,
Product, invoice date, price according to price list
AAAA, 02.05.2012, ????
AAAA, 01.08.2012, ????
BBBB, 10.06.2013, ????
AAAA, 31.10.2013, ????
AAAA, 16.11.2013, ????
If you happen to know how this search can be performed in Excel, I am of course also happy to read that. (But my index, or Vlookup functions, give only the first possible result in the table. As I do not know how to give in the date parameter.)

I have a main form [Job Quote Form 10-2205] and I am trying to add a command button to open up [Job Process Form-MKD] and have the [Job Process Form-MKD] open up and only show the records that match a certain field, in this case what I call "JobTrackNo" in the [Job Process Form-MKD]. (see attached .jpg)
This problem started to happen only recently, namely you will see that the left column under [Job Quote Form 10-2205] is blank, where normally there had been a number of fields to choose from. The fields are all still available, they are just not opening when I try to match two fields.

I browsed a lot of posts related to fonts, and pored over my "Mastering Access 2000" and "Access 2000 Power Programming" books, but I couldn't find answers to my specific questions.
I have many years of experience with Access, but I've only recently become interested in making my forms look nice on a variety of user PC configurations. Now, like many others, I sometimes spend too much time formatting a form so it looks really nice on my PC, only to find formatting problems on the user's PC. For example, a label using Arial Rounded MT Bold looks great on my PC but is cut off on the user's PC. Similarly, Tahoma on buttons looks nice on my PC but looks bigger and bolder on the user's PC.
At first I thought this was probably a font problem. But then I realized that even with the same screen resolution, the forms themselves (not just the fonts) appeared bigger on the user's PC. Some forms didn't even fit inside a maximized Access window, whereas they certainly did on my PC - again, this is with the same screen resolution. So now I don't know if it's a font problem, some other problem, or perhaps multiple problems.
Which leads to my questions:
(1) If I set the size of a form on my PC, and the screen resolution is the same on my PC and the user's PC, then why does my form show up relatively bigger on some users' PCs? How can one control the look of a form if the form properties are not applied identically on different PCs?
(2) Why do all the fonts look bigger and fatter / bolder on some users' PCs?
(3) Is there a user-configurable Windows setting that overrides the font size settings I assign to controls?
(4) How can I determine in code if specific fonts are supported (if this is a necessary step)?
(5) What is the industry best practice for managing font selection, allowing for the possibility that the desired fonts may not be supported?
Thanks for your help...

Hello All:
A database with Last_name, First_name, Midd_name and Suffix.
These textboxes are concatenated into another textbox called "full_name".
The font style chosen for the full_name textbox is "Old English".
The suffixes used are: II, III and IV.
When Old English is applied to Last_name, First_name, Midd_name, it looks great.
Unfortunately when Old English is applied to these suffixes, it looks terrible.
Is there a way to preserve the "II", "II" and "III"?
Is it possible to have more than one font style in a concantenated textbox?
This will be used for printing completion certificates, so the spacing of the names is important.(Report)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a report that i export to pdf from access 2010 using OutputTo. The report is about 10 pages long. Every time i run this report, at page 5 and beyond, random letters become distorted, sometimes with a box sometimes with a question mark. All fonts I've tested are embedded. Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, Georgia and others.
Attached is a sample of of the distorted pdf output.
