Is there a way to make just part of the text in a text box bold, or to use different font sizes in the same text box?
Something like this:
---------------------------------
Heading in bold: description in regular (not bold)
(a smaller height line used as a line space)
Another "normal" line
a larger height line
a normal line....all in one text box!
---------------------------------
One thing I'd like to be able to do is to specify the line height of a blank line in a text box. I'm using carriage returns created with: Chr(13) & Chr(10). I could see defining the font size of a hidden character, but I'd need to know how to assign a font size to a piece of the text in a font box.
I am trying to create a window in access that will have about 30 different boxes that the user of the database can choose from to click on and automatically sort the information in both a Form and Sub-form, and display the information for the User. Frankly this is a little beyond my means, and I need to know where to get started. I have good knowledge of Access but I don't have much experience when it comes to programming in commands and such. Any help would be appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently enter data onto a form which all works fine, when i view the data as a query in dataset view that is fine to, however i have seen a query in a sample database that allows you to click on an item within the query and it takes you to the input form where the details were first stored. Its just what i need but cannot work out how its done. The sample database does not allow you to view the properties so i cannot work it out for myself.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just have a question on making an interface for my database.Some sample databases and office templates have in them, a list of the names of all the records embedded directly on a form, where you can navigate from one record being displayed to another.
An example is in the contacts database template that you can get from Microsoft. It features, on the left, a list of the names of all the people in your database, alphabetically. So, all you have to do is click on John Smith, and bam, John's information will appear in the fields on the right side of the form. If you want to move to Claire Jones, all you have to do is click her name and her information will appear in the fields on the right.
I was wondering if a list box can be made so the header of each columns is clickable.. so you can sort by that column either alphabetically or numerically?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to make a form where you have two textboxes to search a table and show the search results in a list under the textboxes? Also making the list items clickable?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 3 text fields on a form that I search by. I have the search query action set on a button, which produces the results in a datasheet view. Is there any way that I can make the records in the datasheet view clickable so I can select the record and go to the form to update the data?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a button placed on a form, but it is only clickable a few pixels along the bottom of the button. If you hover anywhere above this, the button is not clickable and does not highlight as if it is clickable.
I have deleted the offended button and recreated it, but the same strange behavior occurs?
If I move the button up a few pixels or more, then the clickable area shifts to the top of the button and the bottom becomes unclickable.
The buttons are in the header of the form and is completely visible when the form is in normal form view. I also can not see anything that could be sitting ontop of the button (no transparent controls or anything) that could be obscuring it.
I haven't used Access in a looooong time and building a document tracking database for work. I am setting up my data entry form and would like to have a text box appear depending on the selection from a combo box. So, if the user selects "In Review" a text box will appear for entry of the reviewer's name, likewise if the user selects, "In Work." In the other cases (options in the combo box) the document is not being revised, so no name needs to be entered--so no need for the additional text box. Make sense? Any guidance/advice as to how to go about this? Thank you!

Hey all, i got another small problem with this bloody database!
The problem today folks is this, im making a booking system (well the booking is a small part of the overall system) so i have DateArrive, RoomID, and all the usual.
now what i want is to make a query that says
if DateArrive & RoomID (Booking Table) then make RoomOccupied(Room Table) true
if that makes sense, i tried some in sql and got the date bit working, but wasn't sure how to go further so as to make it so RoomID is involved
(ill say in another way If a room is booked on a specific day i want to make Occupied true)
thanks for anymore help u can give

I have a large spreadsheet with one column of information which is longer than what access accepts as long text. So when I convert the spreadsheet to access all the large boxes of information are shortened so that I am losing a lot of information.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a text box in a form. When the value in the text box is changed, a message box appears asking if the user wants to change the value in the text box. If they select "Yes", all is good and it goes on well, but when they select "No" is it possible for the text box to retain its previous value?
For example.
The value in the text box is "1". The user changes this value to "2". A message box pops up asking if the user wants to change the value, the user select "No" and so the value in the text box goes back to "1", the number it started with before it changed.
Thanks for looking!
I'm using a query to export a table to a text file, i.e.
SELECT * INTO [Text;HDR=No;Database=C:].[test#txt]
FROM [TestTbl]
Text fields end up surrounded by double quotes as a text qualifier. Is there a property I can use to get rid of the text qualifier within the SQL (similar to how HDR=No gets rid of the headers)?
I've tried searching and guessing, but nothing has worked yet. Thanks!
Hi,
Is it possible when choosing a combo box to have it make a text box visible, when in this text boxes properties you've chosen visible=NO. Can an event procedure or some code be written that will make visible=YES.
Thanks any help with be greatly appreciated

Not sure if this is possible but here goes (even if I make a fool of myself for asking).
I have a report that lists data based on criteria set in a form. The main criteria is Month (Month4Report) and Year (Year4Report).
The report lists all jobs that started that month and also any jobs that had work done during that month - even if they started in the previous month.
What I would like to do is highlight any job that has an actual start date prior to the current searched month (Month4Report). By making it bold or other way.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

I'm working on a series of forms for a company that I'm currently employed at, and on one of them I've made a listbox which will display records which need action in the next 2 weeks.
That's all going fine. However, it it possible to make the items in the listbox flash red? Just so that our external worker REALLY has no excuses!
Just to clarify, I want the text identifying the records (E.g. Name, FinalDate) to flash, but not the headers for the columns in the listbox.
I have 2 fields in a query which I want to write to a table. Eg ProductName (field length 10) and Product Code (field length 5) the fields need to be filled out so the length makes the maximum text
For example product name 'test' length is 4 i have to add 0 to make the length to 10 so the field will be 000000test same thing applies to Product code. I have 700 records like this, is there a way in VBA where it adds the extra text to make it the maximum length.
I have a form with three text boxes and i am trying to figure out how to ensure atleast one of these boxes is required and would error if none of these are completed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know how to make a text box entry "required" such that one cannot exit a record until a value is entered but cannot figure out how to make it required only if another field on the form has an entry. None of the form events seem to support that when focus moves to another record as far as I can tell. What I want to do is display an error message if the condition is not met on exiting a record but to also remain on (or go back to) that record so the required text box entry can then be made.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn of my tables called Employee Payroll, I have several earnings fields, and in a previous post I mentioned that I have implemented a validation rule for them which is £2.50 or £2.75 or £3.10. I have also used an error message in Validation Text to help the user if they enter an invalid value.
How can I change this message to reflect what the user types in? For example, if they enter an erroneous value like £9.34, the error message would say, "You have entered an erroneous value" or if they type an extreme value like £3.40 or £0.01, the error message would say, "You have entered an extreme value".
I understand that I would need to state when the data becomes erroneous and when it becomes extreme- so I thought, anything above, £4.00 should be erroneous and any negative values too. Extreme data would be anything between £0.00 and £3.10.
Would I need to use some kind of code in VBA?
Thanks
