What I have: I have a main form with 3 subforms viewed as datasheets.
I have read the post about hiding columns by using me.<object>.columnhidden = True and that kind of works. Once the user goes to resize the columns they can get the hidden columns back. This is a problem if I'm trying to hide a priority column only admins should see.
Is there a way to specify the width of a column and restrict the user from resizing it? That way the user can not resize and get hidden columns back.
If there is a better way if doing this please let me know. Ultimately, I just don’t want the user resizing or unhiding columns I have sized and hidden.
The second column onward denotes Years-Quarters. Where I need help is in hiding columns I don't need to show if outside of the range the user's chosen: for example, if user chooses Jul-04 to Mar-05 then I'd like hide columns 2 and 6.
For whatever reason I can't get the monthly values to line up with the Yr-Qtr columns, but I hope you all know what I mean :o, i.e., 2004/07-2004/09 lines up with 2004-3, 2004/10-2004/12 with 2004-4, and so on.
As always, any help provided would be greatly appreciated.
Morning all, I'm trying to hide a column of a datasheet in a subform I have... if I run the form and right click and hide the column, it doesen't save that the next time I load it (wasn't sure if it was suppose to, but after reading http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...2362201033.aspx it would appear so) I'm using SQL Server 2000, not 7 so I would think that problem shouldn't come up for me yet it is, I need to hide a couple columns from the user (mostly ID columns) while they are entering in data, anyone have any advice they could throw my way?
The problem at hand for me is to be able to hide columns in a subform wherever "#Name?" appears. My VBA experience is minimal to non-existent, but if a not so complex sample code exists out there then I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have.
I have attached a print screen document that shows the result of a query in the subform I just talked about. My anticipated thanks for your help.
I want to use VBA to hide columns in a subform based on what is checked in a multi value look up field.
I am creating this DB for use with sharepoint as a web database, which is why I am using the lookup field to begin with. There will be a client DB to use with some VBA code
So what I have is a lookup field with tests "Test 1, Test 2, etc" on form sample.
There is a subform called results, and I want to hide certain columns based on what tests are performed.
I tried using an If Then statement (code is being run on subform load)
If Me.Parent.fieldTest = "Test 1" Then Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = False Else Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = True
That is basically the code I was trying to use. I am getting an error 13, which I assume is because fieldTest can not = something since it is a multi value look up field.
Hi, I'm trying to resize a continuous subform automatically depending on how many records it is displaying. It needs to resize to fit all of the contents it displays, but no more. I also need to move labels and text boxes down if the subform size gets larger. This needs to be done every time the user cycles through records in the main form. Thanks in advance. :cool:
Hi I have a Switch Board and when I click to view a report on it the report automatically opens in maximize view, this is what I want. What I dont want is when I close the report for the Switch Board form to be maximized as well
How would I be able to prevent this?? Cheers bikeboardsurf :rolleyes:
I'm doing a database with several pop-up forms, but however small i make them ,they always resize to give a fairly large border around the controls onthe far right and bottom. Everytime i try and shrink it, in code with the Form.Width property, and in the design view, they always resize back again.
Problem I'm running into is I need certian fields to auto-resize when they're hovered over (or have focus) so that all the information is viewable, but then resize back to normal afterwards. The forms contain a large amount of information, so the fields have to be smallish most of the time, but certain fields, such as email addresses for example, are hard to work with because you can't see most of the entry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Almost done with this Access project, and it's just little details at this point.
In Access 2010 I want to resize my forms according to the user's screen resolution.I designed my forms to look fine for 1024x768 and then multiplied everything at higher resolutions.In the forms OnLoad event I inserted a procedure like the following:
Code: Public Sub SetSize(aForm As Form) Dim MV As Single Dim ctrl As Control
[code]....
It works fine if the page doesn't have a TabControl; but with the Tab Control Pages it get missed up. I think because changing the TabControl size will affect immediately the contened Pages, and when the code arrives to change the size of the pages, it is no more the original size . So I tried this:
Code: Public Sub SetSize(aForm As Form) Dim MV As Single Dim ctrl As Control
[code]...
Things are better, but still I found that the values of my pages and the background rectangle I inserted in each pages to make them of different colors are wrong, instead the values of TabControl are correct.
I have created a table with ole object types and linked word documents. I am now trying to create a report with the word documents showing up. The problem is that the size of the word document varies, some are half a page some are several pages. When I create the report with the object frame, I can't seem to find a control property to 'can grow'. Is there some way, possibly using VB, to create that feature. I'm thinking the VB way might be to access the embedded file and find out it's size and then size the object frame accordingly. I don't want to make the frame set to the largest document because then there will be blank pages that I don't want in the smaller documents.
I am making a database that will be used by multiple people on a network, and they have different resoloutions on their own computers. when the database is loaded on their respective computers, the form controls are all off.
On the computer i designed them on, the forms fit perfectly on screen, as do the controls, i would like to know if there is some vba code i could incorporate into the form open event, or module code that i can use in order to dynamically re-seize the forms and all of the controls to suit different resoloutions?
I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
Currently I'm building tables and forms. My first table (called Clients) lists the details of fictional clients. My second table is for invoices.
In my invoices table, I wish to link the column for client reference (note: stored in the Clients table) to the column that precedes it. This column will list the clients’ names and is selected from a drop down list that is linked to the Clients table.
What I want to do (if its possible) is to have the respective client ref. automatically show up in the next cell once I've selected the client to whom the invoice relates?
Am I making sense? Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?
Secondly, how do I do a sum of selected columns for my “totals” column? Basically, I want to add the figures found in several cells that precede it?
I'm affraid my confusing topic title is an indicator of how confused I am by this. I can't even understand the variables well enough to fully utilize Access Help or the Search function here...
What I have is a database hat has column headers that look something like this: Customer_Name, Order_Date, Qty_Ord, Unit_Price, Total_Price
What I'm trying to get is a query output that will have
Customer_Name, Total Orders (in Dollars) for January, Total Orders (in Dollars) for February, Total Orders (in Dollars) for March, etc.
I've been able to set it up to SUM for one month, but not multiples.
I know I'm totally lame (for proof read any of my previous posts) but you guys totally bailed me out the other time I asked a lame question.
On a form, what is the best way to hide a label or text box? I'm guessing that I can do a checkbox which would work for me and just write a macro to hide on a false value?
Hello,I was wondering if anybody knew if it was posslble to show an aproximated value of a field with decimal records. I would like to see only integer values on my form.
Here's another one on this subject... But can't seem to find the answer in the "Search" Currently I am using the "Call fSetAccessWindow(0)" method.... Well, all works fine until I start getting into reports. I have read in some post of other methods to hide Access. But I have yet to find any examples of the "easier way"..... Can anyone direct me to a post or link?? Thanks Curtis
Hi, I'm haven't much experience working with Access and I'm hoping someone out there can help me :)
I have a list of products with technical data in tables, however sometimes not all the products have the complete set of data. Is it possible to hide the cells where there is no data present when linked to a page?
Hi can you help. I am developing an access database for an alarm installation company. The database will consist of five tables (stock, supplier, customer, stocksupplier) all with forms.
The customer table holds data for three customer types business, private, caravan. Each customer type has different data stored for it for example the business customer has more than one contact address whereas the private has one.
The problems is on the form I do not want all the fields present as this would look a mess. Is there a way of clicking a radio button or choosing from a drop down list that would make the fields relevant to that customer type appear or grey out the fields that are not needed.
I would appreciate any help as the only alternative I can come up with is have them all on one form. I do not want separate tables as this would complicate the design. I hope this makes sense and thank you in anticipation Kind Regards :) :) Peter
I have a database where people are entering data into in constantly. Now I was told that someone else needs to go into the database and check integrity of data entered. There are a few buttons that I don’t want a “data verifiers” to click on, but “data entry folks” should be able to. Is there any way to may be password protect certain buttons and only be visible if a password is typed or something like that? I know how to password protect a form, but that’s not really exactly what I need and want to do. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
