Can The Autofilter Drop Down Arrow Be Reformatted To A Different Colour?
Dec 17, 2007Hi,
Possibly a silly question.
The drop down triangle toggles from black to dark blue when a filter is on. I find the difference quite difficult to distinguish without giving my age away, screwing my face up and leaning into the monitor. :(
I would like to reformat the triangle to toggle to, say, bright red when the filter is on.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance.
How To Get Drop Down Arrow To Select Proper Values
Nov 12, 2014I have a field in a Contacts table called Referred By. I also have a separate table called Referred By which contains a numeric ID and a value for each Referrer. When I enter data into the Contacts table, I want the Referred By field to have a down arrow so that I can select the appropriate value. The Referred By table has 2 fields -- ID (AutoNumber) and Referred By (Long Text). There are currently 5 values in the Referred By Table.
View 5 Replies View RelatedForms :: Down Arrow Key Movement Between Records Slower Than Up Arrow On Datasheet?
Jun 13, 2013I have a pop up form with a datasheet as a sub form. We use the up and down arrows to move between records. The problem is using the down arrow is 4 to 5 times slower than using the up arrow. This becomes a big problem when we hold down the arrow to move down 50 or more records. I believe it has something to do with the way the screen is repainted because in testing if I shrink the datasheet to show only 3 or 4 records the up and down movement is almost identical and matches the performance of the excel spreadsheet that this form was based on. Is there any fix for this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedForms :: Can Combo Boxes Work With Arrow Keys
Sep 29, 2014As a user types, combo boxes have a "live update" function that fills in the rest of the box based on the row source of the combo box. Can a user can use the arrow keys to navigate through the current options based on what they have currently typed?
I'm thinking of something like when you are typing something into an internet search engine, multiple content options appear below and you can either continue typing--thus narrowing the result--or use the arrow keys or mouse to select one of the content options that have appeared.Is there any function similar to this in Access?

Stop Drop Down From Displaying On A Combo
May 4, 2006Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to prevent the drop down list from displaying on a combo box, and even better, to hide the drop down button. I know this just sounds like using change to and changing the combo to a text. However, as the text box doesn't have the same properties, it won't display the correct information and explaining how the combo box get its information is a little complicated. If there isn't a way, I'll try to explain in a reply. :)
Cheers,
Matt

Forms :: Combo Box Drop Down Search
Jun 27, 2013As an example lets say I have a table listing some cars:
Car Make Car Model
Ford Fiesta
Ford Focus
Ford GT
Mercades C Class
Mercades E Class
Mercades A Class
I am making a form with two combo drop downs with the ability to select car make or model.
Car Model is Unique so if the car model is entered, I will force the car Make into the other combo box
however, If i select "Mercades" for example in the car make, I would like the combo box of Car model to only be filled with the possible models that Mercades make.
Is this possible? (to search for the values available in Car Model based on the value entered in Car Make?)

Forms :: Displaying Initials In Combo Box When Option Selected From Drop Down
Oct 2, 2013I have a Combo Box bound which gets its values from a table (T_Users).
The Combo Box displays the Users 'Initials' [Column 1], but the Bound Column [Column 2] is that of the Users 'ID' (which is used when a record is edited or a new record added).
What I want to be able to do is when the user clicks the Combo Box, and the drop down list 'drops down' the options, I want them to not only see the 'Initials' but also selected other columns - BUT - when the option is selected I just want the 'Initials' to be displayed in the Combo Box.
Code:
So, Normal > | ABC |
Dropped Down > | ABC |

| ABC (Annabel Carcus, Big Company Ltd.) |
| JB (Joe Bloggs, Medium Company Ltd.) |
| FS (Fred Smith, Little Company Ltd.) |
