Can I do this in Access using some form of append query?
I have a form with many fields on it. For some reason some of the text in the form fields don't line up vertically with other text even though I have aligned them to the grid and to each other. I have Access 2013.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMany times I have appended tables. But now I am struggling even trying to append 4 fields defined as text.
View attached zip file.
I have a few bit fields that, when checked, specific text need to be displayed in a field separated by commas.
Example:
Child 1 = checked
Child 2 = not checked
Child 3 = checked
Child 4 = not checked
Output:
Child 1, Child 3
I did find this sample expression that I am using in another area and it is working perfect and I understand it works based off of string length.
Mid(IIf(Len(Expr1), ", " & Expr1, "") & IIf(Len(Expr2), ", " & Expr2, "") & IIf(Len(Expr3), ", " & Expr3, ""),Len(", ") + 1)
What is the best way to accomplish this?
I have a form that has several fields that a user will enter data. When finished, the data is inserted into a table. Works great. What I want to do now is look at one of the fields entered and if it is equal to a certain value, I want to disable one of the other text boxes (fields) on the form AND pop a screen that will allow the user to enter a list of names that will update a different table.
So, if user inputs a directory name GENERIC, the txtScriptName box needs to be disabled/greyed-out and I need a form to pop so the user can put in a list of script names. If any other directory name is entered, the txtScriptName box needs to remain editable. (For directories equal to GENERIC, there will be multiple script names instead of just one)
I've been successful at getting the form to pop if GENERIC is entered but can't figure out how to grey-out the txtScriptName field. I tried using Me.txtScriptName Locked in the Before Update of the preceding field but it didn't work - could still update the txtScriptName field.
Any other sugestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a group of option buttons. A user can select more than one. However, currently all of the option buttons have a grey spot in them except for the first one which is blank. I want all of the option buttons to be blank.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
I have a checkbox that has a grayed out box inside of it. What causes this/ what is it? I looked up the record and there should be a checkmark in the box. In the table it is set to have one.
I know that if the prefeances of Enables is set to No then all of the check box and the text label box is all grayed out, But in my case it is only the inner part of the box…. (And it is a Checkbox…)
The box name is ABC1 and it just reads the record, that’s it... It is used for reports later down the road. So there is not any code set to this check box.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

I have a form with two cascading combo boxes. The options available in the second box depend on what is selected from the first.
Some of the selections which can be made in the first box do not have any options to be selected in the second box and so it currently just pops down empty.
Is there a way that I can make the second box "greyed out" if there are no options for it?
Thanks,
Gary
This seems like a really simple question but I have searched everywhere and can't find a solution.
I have a main form with a subform. The subform is in datasheet view.
How do I remove the grey bar from the left of the subform. I.e the row selectors where you click to highlight the entire row

I have a query that updates a field on a table with the value in another field. When I run the query from the Access control panel, the query does exactly what it should do, 100% perfect. When I call the query using DoCmd.OpenQuery in VBA in an OnClick function on a form, it does not work properly, only appending certain amounts of information, leaving some fields blank.Can anyone shed some light on this.the SQL for the query is:UPDATE tblHolding SET tblHolding.CostGRV = [tblHolding]![OrderCost]WHERE ((([tblHolding].[Item Code])=[tblHolding]![Item Code]));It populates another field in the same record in the same table as itself.tblHolding is populated by a Subform on the Form that has the button that calls this query when clicked.Hope I am making sense.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHopefully just a simple one??? I am using a popup form to input data into a display form which is on one page of a tabbed control. The display form updates through an afterupdate requery command. This all seems to work OK but when I enter the new record via the popup form then close it, it leaves a greyed out space and I lose input ability. I need to close down and when opened up all records are OK. If I drag the popup box on the screen it leaves a grey trail behind it. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks
I'm going to need a check box and text box. What it needs to do is if box is checked the text box becomes active and required but if not checked then the box doesn't need to be required? Any help would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a text box that is disabled, and want it to become enabled when the user clicks the required check box.
I've got the following code, and can't see anything wrong with it, but for some reason it doesn't work. No error message appears, but the text box stays disabled regardless of whether I check the check box or not.
Private Sub Successful_Click()
If chkSuccessful = True Then
txtDateAppointed.Enabled = True
Else
txtDateAppointed.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
Anyone have any ideas?

I'm made a form and a subform. I placed a field called 'status' in the form and in the subform I placed a field called status_subform.

I tried a lot of things with recordsets. I can find the number of recordsets, but I can't scroll through the recordsets, can anybody help me?
I am required to write a code to check the positioning of a text in a string.
E.g.
"~[Admin]~xxxxxxxxx~ACK~" = Acknowledged
"~xxxxxxxxx~[Admin]~ACK~" = Not Acknowledged
"~xxxxxxxxx~ACK~[Admin]~" = Not Acknowledged
As you can see, as long as the string starts with "~[Admin]~", it is counted as acknowledged. If the "~[Admin]~" appears anywhere else except the start, it is counted as not acknowledged.
I know I'll have to use If-else statements and EOF to cycle through my entire column, but how do I check the positioning of "~[Admin]~"?
Are there wildcard statements that Access VBA can use similar to SQL's "*"?

I have 15 fields beginning with the word Comment. (i.e. comment, comment1, comment2 etc)
What Im trying to do is create a spellcheck command button that will only check these fields and only on the current record.
I've managed to find this piece of code to do the actual check:
With Me.FIELDNAME
.SetFocus
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(Me.FIELDNAME)
End With
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
Question is, how do I get this piece of code to loop through any field beginning with the word 'comment' and check their spelling?!
Any help would be much appreciated
I have a repair database which I'm working on. On the main WIP form there is a subform stating the faults which have been logged against that unit. The unit can be scrapped at any time by hitting the SCRAP button, but if the unit has had it's faults successfully repaired, then it can then be FINALISED which means it can be shipped to the customer.
I need to be able to check the records in the subform, to look for faults which have not been repaired. When they are repaired, the text "PASS" will be present in the TEST_RESULT field. I want to be able to check the TEST_RESULT field for each fault to ensure they are all a PASS before I allow the unit to be FINALISED. Any ideas how I can do this? Or am I taking the wrong approach?
Thanks,
Gareth
