View RepliesI have done this before and can't remember how I did it and I can't fogure out how to do it. I have a form with textboxes that are for displaying info to the users. I want to lock them so that users can not click on them or high light the fields. So basically the user can only click on fields I want them to.

I am using Access 2007 and 2010. I would like a text box (or label) on a report to autofil using fixed text from a label on a different (closed) form.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHi I wonder if someone can help me with this.
I have an access database in which there are tab controls to collect text written about a subject. My problem is that there are nine tabs all with the exact same code behind them, but obviously varying object names for the relevant text boxes. Four of them work as expected and five don't.
The following code has been used to display a popup if the user types too much text and it works for the Environ_Plan text box:
Private Sub txtENVIRON_PLAN_Change()
Dim strMessage As String, varLen As Variant
varLen = Nz(Len(Me.txtENVIRON_PLAN.Text), 0)
If varLen > 250 Then
strMessage = "You have exceeded the limit of this field by " & (varLen - 250) & " characters." & vbNewLine
strMessage = strMessage & "The maximum allowable length is " & 250 & " characters."
MsgBox strMessage, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
(note that if the user types 251 characters an error message appears on the screen to say they have exceeded the number of characters allowed for that box and they cannot type any more text.)
The following text is used for the exact same outcome in Health but it does not work:
Private Sub txtHEALTH_PLAN_Change()
Dim strMessage As String, varLen As Variant
varLen = Nz(Len(Me.txtHEALTH_PLAN.Text), 0)
If varLen > 250 Then
strMessage = "You have exceeded the limit of this field by " & (varLen - 250) & " characters." & vbNewLine
strMessage = strMessage & "The maximum allowable length is " & 250 & " characters."
MsgBox strMessage, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
(In this case the cursor stops and the user cannot type any more text but no message appears to say why the cursor has stopped.)
I have double checked the actual variables in the Access database and they are set to the exact same values.
I am using Access 2002 on Windows XP Professional.
thank you in anticipation.

I am a new Access user. The problem I am having is getting the data in a subform to display the text associated with the primary key rather than the primary key itself. In the subform StudentEnrolmentTable, faculty choose the CourseNumber from a combo box and the remaining associated fields are populated with and update query. The problem is when the associated fields are viewed by faculy through the form, they are showing only primary keys and not the text the key is associated with.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI working with Access 2010 and a form with criteria controls, a requery button and a subform that displays the query. I wanted to add a text box that would display some aggregate information about the query results. Like how many results were returned or what the average is in a column of numbers stuff like that.
If at all possible I was hoping to have the text box display aggregate information of the whole query but when a specific entry in the table is clicked I was hoping to have it show aggregate detailed information about that entry opposed to the whole table. So I am not sure if that changes the solution but I wanted to put it out there.In my searches it looks like Dlookup is the way to go but I have seen a lot of people use Dlookup in very different ways so I might be wrong.
I have a report based on a query. There is a field "comments" that is a memo type however on the report it does not display all of the text. I have the property "Can Grow" set to "yes" however it still only shows partial text. Any ideas? thanks in advance!

I am designing a database for my Bank.
But I have a problem, please give solution If you can help me.
I have a Table name "BranchName",purpose for entering Branches of Bank.
Fields are as below.
SrNo. (Auto Number)
BrName (Text)
BrCode (Number)
Region (Text)
Now I had made a Form "Branch".
On this there is one Combo box in which all "BrName" are shown.I made that.
Now I made another Text Field where I want to show the corresponding "Region" automatically appears for the selected "BrName" .
Now how I make this.Any Query or Code Builder Event ??????
I have inherited 1000 records which need to fit into new criteria selected from combo boxes and to do this individually by the forms will take forever so i want to copy and paste the data in the table, but when I do it doesn't fill in the form.
This may be a problem with the cascading script in the form as the fields fill in when I press f9 but disappear every time I open the form.Finally I eventually want to export the data as a table but displaying the text value rather than the key value.
I have a very simple question that I should now the answer to but I must be having a brain cramp.I have a text box on my form and I want to make sure the textbox is not null before running some code. How do I do that?
if Me.txtBatchID Is Null -I get an error 'Object Required'
If Me.txtBatchID = "" -doesn't work.Even if there's nothing in the text box, apparently access thinks it is.Can anyone help me with this? I can't believe I haven't been able to figure this one out!

I have several combo boxes and textboxes showing quanity,productname,
size, and price. How can I pass all of this info in a single row that also calculates
the quanity and price. Also, multiple selections can be added, so several items can
can added in other rows. THe ability to cancel each row would be required as well.
Thanks
I have only one bound text field in my report. By default, it shows the results (150 records ) vertically. I wish to show them horizontally, 5 in a row. How to do this.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've got text box on a form that contains a text value. It is a bound form. I've put code behind the text box that runs on the 'Before Update' event to check if the figure already keyed is a duplicate. If it is then I want the text box to be cleared. I've got it to work if I use the me.undo code, but I only want the text box to be blanked and not the whole forms data. When I put in code txtAccNo = "" or txtAccNo = null then I get an error message telling me the form data cannot be saved using this method. In the table I've set this field up so AccNo is indexed and does allow duplicates, but then I check for duplicates actually on the form in question. It is not the primary key in the table. Any ideas what I can do just to blank this cell when a duplicate occurs?

Basically, its a database for an entertainments agency, I've got a form for 'Artists' which shows the performers on the agencies books. I've tabbed the form so one screen shows the artist details and I want the second screen to show the bookings that the specific artist has.
I've linked to the 'bookings' table on the subform successfully, but I can't figure out how to filter it so it just shows the bookings that the specific artist showed has.
i.e.: I want it so that The Deltatones booking tab ONLY shows the deltatones bookings.
Here's the dropbox link : [URL] .....

Good Morning All,
I have an unbound text box on a form.
The Control Source references a text box on one of its subforms.
How do I make it return a 0 when the subform text box is null?
It seems like an if statement of some kind.
Thank you all in advance.
I have a date field in a form which is not compulsory.
I then pull this date field into a query to create a report.
If the date is not entered then is it possible for "Date not entered" to be written into the report automatically. I have tried playing around with nulls but have had no luck.
I have a Inventory DB and i want to integrate scanning. So far i have a table called StockInfo, this table holds information about bar codes (device type, make, model). I have a form called Scan_Barcode, on this form I want to be able to scan a bar code into a text box (text0) and use a afterupdate and requery function to display the results onto a form called EnterInventory.
Not only just the results but I want certain columns from the query to display in certain text boxes on this form. I have a query called FindProduct. that filters the criteria by whats entered on the Scan_Barcode text box (text0). So when i scan a certain bar code i can get the query to display certain product information for the bar code. I just cant get the results onto the HarwareStock form.
Hi,
i have created a query from just one table, which is basically a list of Financial transactions.
There is a field called supplier code, in this query.
Most of the transactions have a supplier code, but there are a few that don't.
i've got another table that has the supplier name against the supplier code.
i want to bring this table into the query, so that i can show the supplier names against those records in the query that have a supplier code.
when i add this table and link the 2 tables up and put the supplier name into the query. The query excludes the records with no supplier code.
This is presumably, because they contain null values.
I've been reading about the Nz function and i think this is what i need to use.
i've tried this, but it still only brings through the records with a supplier code and not all of them.
How i've done this is to go into the design mode of the query and in the column that would have null values i have click "build"
in here i have the following formula.
Nz([Supplier Name],"No")
Am i doing anything wrong?
