General :: Change TXT Box To A Memo Field On A Form?

Dec 2, 2014

How do I change a txt box to a memo field on a form? (I need to allow for more than 255 chars...) I've already set the backend DB (sql server) to accept the many chars, and the linked table access see's the datatype as memo. But I can't figure out how to get a memo field on the form, or how to change the current txt box to a memo control to support the extra characters.

I've been looking for 20 minutes... I guess I never used a memo field before, since I can't find/see how to set this.

General :: Search Form For Memo Field

Feb 7, 2013

I'm developing a program to search several fields. One of which is a memo field with large characters. Using wildcard in the search form I made, it only returns the record if the first word of the field is typed in the search box. I want to type any word in any part of the field to return the record.

This is my code

' Check for LIKE Subject
If Me.txtsubject > "" Then
varWhere = varWhere & "[subject] LIKE """ & Me.txtsubject & "*"" AND "
End If

subject is a memo field.

General :: Error In ID Field Of Form - Cannot Add Or Change A Record

Aug 6, 2012

I'm setting up a college database. On my enrollment form i have the following fields

Enrolment_ID
Student_ID
Course_ID

I'm receiving the error in my Student_ID field. It's telling me a related record is required in my Student Table.

The drop down shows the student name/date of birth/Education number

But if i set it to just show the ID it works fine, is there a work around for this as it will make life a lot easier for the dropdown to display the student names rather than the ID?

The dropdown is based on a query i have of accepted students....

General :: Comment History Field To Appear On A Form - Change Sort Order Of Results

Aug 28, 2013

I have after much stress gotten my comments history field to appear on a form.

The following code gives me what I needed

Code:
=ColumnHistory([RecordSource],"LastUpdateBy","[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0))

I have only one simple thing left, that is perplexing to say the least.

Some comment fields will be many short notes, spread over time.

My desire is to change the sort order of the results so the most recent (rather than the initial) comment is at the top.

General :: Field Was Changed From Text To Memo

Jan 6, 2013

The database contains the records of a collection of thousands of photographs and negatives.

One of the fields contains information on the subject matter of each pic and can sometimes be very long. The field was changed from text to memo so as to hold more characters but they appeared in one long string, which means a lot of scrolling to see the information. That has been changed back to text and we are adding a second or third record such as xxx-xxx-xxx cont1 xxx-xxx-xxx cont2 so as to get shorter strings. Is there a way to make the text wrap onto a second or third line automatically after a specific number of characters have been entered or can a carriage return be put in to force the text to a new line?

General :: Concatenate Two Text Fields Into A Memo Field In Query?

Sep 5, 2014

I'm trying to concatenate two text fields into a memo field using an expression in a select query. My problem is that the text fields together end up more than 255 characters, so I need the resulting field to be a memo instead. I can't change the underlying text fields to memo fields because this is a large database used by others who need those fields to be text.

I have a form set up where user's type in an explanation of how a claim is being appealed and resolved in a memo field.

One problem, for some reason management doesn't want these explanations to end with a period. But the users keep ignoring our request and keep using the period.

Is there a way that you can code this memo field to where it will allow punctuation throughout, except at the end?

Form To Send Values To Memo Field

Oct 3, 2005

I'm trying to develop a form that opens when you select a tab from another form. The first form would contain Standard Instructions (from a table) and the second form would have a Memo Field for special instructions. The user wants to be able to click a check box for each standard special instruction and when they close the first form all the check standard instructions to update the special instructions memo field on the second form. I'm thinking I have to set up a loop to go thru all records when the first form is closed. Any ideas on how this would work best?

Memo Data Type Field On A Form

Jan 25, 2006

Hi all,

I have a question about an Access form that I am creating. I have a "Due Notes" field, which has Memo data type and I create a form "Estimates" using a text box with the control source is that "Due Notes" field to enter notes when needed.

Although I have the vertical scroll bar for that text box (due to other controls, I can not size the text box too big), does anybody know how to display that text box in form "Estimates" with the data of the last text within the size of the box without scrolling down so I can start typing for the next entry? Do I make sense to you?

Please help and let me know if you know HOW. Thanks so much in advance.

OLE Object Won't Get Focus In Form/Memo Field Problems

Jul 26, 2006

Hi all,

I have added an OLE WordPad object to a form. However, when I use the form, I cannot select/give the object focus to activate it. Even if I right click the object, it give me the correct popup menu. :confused:

I am using this object as I am having troubles with Memo fields. I use a form to update records, one field of which must be greater than 255 characters long. When I press my update button (it just runs some code to turn off warnings, run two simple update queries and the turn the warnings back on) the update process seems to complete. However, if I go to the table/refresh the form contents, only the first 512 characters are displayed and the last few are strange system characters.:confused: This occurs no matter what I do. I was tole that copy/paste operations can mess memo fields up, but I tested this by using a fresh field and typing everything in. Hence I am now trying the OLE object to get around this problem. :confused:

Any ideas peeps??

Cheers,

Matt

Forms :: Using A Form To Search Keywords In Memo Field

Dec 6, 2013

Currently, I am trying to search a memo field on a table by having the user enter keywords on a form (up to 10 keywords can be entered). It works when just one keyword is entered, however it doesn't work if more than one is entered. How do I account for more than one keyword being entered to search the memo field and return the recors where any of the terms show up in that field. Each one of the keywords [KW1] ...etc are in a separate unbound box.

Current formula looks as follows:
Like "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW1] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW2] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW3] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW4] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW5] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW6] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW7] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW8] & "*" OR "*" & "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW9] & "*" OR "*" & [Forms]![KeywordInputForm]![KW10] & "*"

Should I be using AND?

Forms :: Include Scroll Bar On A Memo Field In A Form

Oct 24, 2014

I gather that there is no way to include a scroll bar on a memo field in a form. What is the best workaround? The source is a mysql odbc table. It is set as medium text and comes into Access 2010 as a memo field. For a user coming to this field to read the material entered there, unless they click somewhere within the field, there isn't a scroll bar. It isn't obvious that that is what they need to do to see all of it. Is there any way to work around this limitation?

Change Memo Unbound Text Box When Combo Box Changes

Dec 8, 2013

I have

an unbound combo box
an unbound text box (made to resemble a memo field)

a continuous form with many schooltype

The form is filtered by schooltype when the unbound combo box is changed i.e. high school, primary etc

I have made a field in the tblSchoolType called emMessage1 (there is 2, 3 etc)

The idea is that you choose to filter the form and then the relevant type emMessage1 appears in the text box

So if you choose high school then the high school emmessage1 appears (filled with the text) because all the high schools are tied to tblschooltype - when you select high you are getting the high emmessage1

When I select all records I am guessing that the text box will be invisible until you select a school type in the combo box (to avoid problems)...

When you have selected a type, the text gets swapped accordingly to the corresponding id of school type id thus changing emMessage1 to suit and make the textbox visible...

Now I can type in the field and it saves it in the table however:

I do not know how to do this. I thought about dlookup but not sure if that will allow me to change or whether it will do this...

General :: Change Keyboard Mappings On Field Focus

Mar 1, 2014

Right I have Windows 7 Ultimate because I am learning Russian and I have created an English Russian dictionary.

Now using Ultimate to go between English Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet you have to press ALT + SHIFT.

Its awkward and it often doesn't register first time.

Certain fields in my database use the latin alphabet while other fields use the cyrillic alphabet.

Is there a way that on focus of a field I can get the keyboard mapping to ensure that it is correct either English or Cyrillics?

General :: How To Make Form Controls Change Size / Position As Form Is Resized

Jul 24, 2013

how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.
