I have a file with 45 columns and I need to be able to make 40 columns quickly dis-appear and re-appear. When I search for responses to similar questions I get references to "Horizontal scroll bar and List Box control" which I do not know how to find and/or use.
View RepliesI have developed an Access app, which has different navigational tabs which open up different forms. e.g. Tab A has Form A inside it and Form A has SubForm A1 inside it.
For some reason, the following code is not working on any of the fields Me.YourFieldName.ColumnWidth = -2...
What to do that all the fields in the subforms will have auto width adjustable to fit in the text.
I have created a list that has 5 column. Data is filled in list using a query. I know how to remove 2 columns, but I do not know how to increase the width of columns.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have two databases that are set up exactly alike - one for each office (Corporate and satellite). The Satellite office will have to send us their updated project, Proposal, and change orders data (which are in three different tables) every week so Corporate can update their database for the Satellite office and Corporate will have to do the same for them.
What is the easiest way? I basically just want it to look for changes to the tables and then update the table accordingly. I need it very simple for them because they don't know Access. Any suggestions?
Is there a way to change the formatting of a numbers column to the formatting :
1 = 0001
11 = 0011
111 = 0111
1111 = 1111
But that would have to apply to this also
1 - 2 = 0001 - 0002
11 - 22 = 0011 - 0022
111 - 222 = 0111 - 0222
1111 - 2222 = 1111 - 2222
If that makes sense ....

I'm wondering if there is a way in Access 2013 to - for example - enter a value in a date field and then highlight it and drag it down to populate all the records in the table with that value, as can be done in Excel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have three account types, 110 fiscal months, seven types of fees each associated with a cost. That's 2310 pieces of data if I enter the information with the collumns: AccKey, DateKey, FeeDesc, FeeCost (e.g. For account type one on Fiscal month Jan '11, an overdraft fee was $10). I have all the data on an excel sheet, but it is formatted so that each fiscal year is separate. Is there a way for me to enter this info quickly?

All I have taken over a database. It has dozens of queries. Is there a tool or code that I can use that would quickly diagram the querie like a flowchart telling me what queries are related and the steps and so on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Guys and Girls.
I have about 100 or so tables that I need to append back into one table :eek:
However all of these 100 tables all begin with the number 100 at the beggining. I know that you can append tables - but as far as I know you can only do one at a time. Is there any easy way to do this - for example writing a small SQL statement - saying select all tables that begin with 100* and then append into a master table :confused:
Alternatively are there any programs on the net that can do this (I just wrote a massive macro to import them from a text file in to access- not realising this problem would happen!) :(
Unfortunately each of the tables has the first row as the column heading too?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Cuurently using Access 97 though.
I have Access as front end and SQL Server as back end. The Access application is placed on a common network drive for theusers to access it. The compact on close option is enabled when the access application is closed.
I have a local copy of the access app. When I close the app, it takes ony a few seconds. But when on a network drive, it is taking 2 mins.I just wanted to know if the time taken to close the application on the network drive can be brought down without disabling the compact on close option.
Situation
My database stores course information for faculty in my department and prints out various reports based on that information.
The 2 mandatory fields in the form are [AcademicYear] and as they create the potential for classes to be added to the curriculum.
Question
Is there a way to add multiple records to the db based on the which year and instructor combinations were use prior?
[I]ex.
2007/2008, prof-a
2007/2008, prof-b
2007/2008, prof-c
2007/2008, prof-d
This represents the 2007/2008 school year where professors a through d taught courses. Is there a way to add records for another academic year so that:
2008/2009, prof-a
2008/2009, prof-b
2008/2009, prof-c
2008/2009, prof-d
appear with just the press of a button?
I don't know if I'm being clear enough. :p

I've notice a situation in a few databases. One is where we track sidewalk construction. There are two called fields LENGTH and WIDTH. In my report I have text box with the control source =[Length]*[Width]. However it returns some bogus number. If I change the field names to something else like Width1, it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

We are importing data from XML files manually to an access Database.
The imported tables are all text fields with field width 255.
Some text fields are too big and we end up loosing some records as import errors. Is there a way to let access generate an imported table with a text field that is longer than 255 character ?
