I Want To Put Text Down The Whole Left-hand Side Of A Form!
Jul 10, 2006
Hi Guys,
You know how you get the form header/detail/footer sections on a form. Well, how can you make text appear down the side (ie so that it overlaps all of the header/detail/footer sections).
Take a look at my drawing, it will explain it better...
I have a report with some text boxes on it. Sometimes the text in these boxes can be a very long string of characters (maybe a path to some folder). In this case I do not want the text box to grow. I just want the report to show me the right-hand side of this path and cut off the left. How do I do this when still aligning my text to the left?
I would like to create an application with a left side tree menu. Each leaf of the tree should open a form or launch a procedure. The branches could expand or collapse. Nodes could have pics.
There must be a couple of VAB examples. Would you recommend me some of the best ones ?
I have several comboxes where I'm using date/time input masks. When I go to enter data in the field the cursor is situated at the right end of the box. I have to backspace to the beginning of the field to enter the data. How do I position the cursor to the beginning (left side) of the field?
Form with three sections. I have three queries selecting different set of set in a table, I would like to show all three in a form side by side. How can I do this? I use form wizard bit it only uses one query as a source.
So I'm trying to manipulate Access to create a Directory for my church. I'm trying to get a report to show the church staff, which I was able to do, but I was wondering, is it possible to get the records to show side by side instead of one on top of the other?
I included a picture of the design view showing what I would like to see. Excuse the way the numbers are written, it's hard to write with a mouse.
I have split my database, the data is in a DB on the server and the forms, reports, etc is on the client desktop. My question is "Is there an advantage to having all of my combo box queries (Lookups) on the server side (defined in the table as a combo lookup) or should I put the all on the form so that they reside in client side DB.
I want to Delete only FK on the many side first and the record on the one side by one click of a button. I wrote some code which sometimes works and sometimes it does not!!
I wonder if any one have a better idea or doing this please?
Private Sub Delete_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset Dim n As Integer, i As Integer Dim vStart As Integer Dim vEnd As Integer Dim vSite As Integer Dim vRCCID As Integer
vSite = Forms![frmSite].Form![SiteID] vRCCID = Forms![frmSite]![Roads Construction Consent].Form![RCCID] vStart = Me.PhaseStart - 1 vEnd = Me.PhaseEnd + 1
Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblPhase") rs.MoveLast n = rs.RecordCount rs.MoveFirst If n > 0 Then For i = 1 To n If rs![SiteID] = vSite Then If rs![PhaseNumber] > vStart And rs![PhaseNumber] < vEnd Then rs.Edit rs![RCCID] = Null rs.Update
End If End If rs.MoveNext Next i End If rs.Close db.Close Set db = Nothing Set rs = Nothing
'/////////////////////////////////////////////
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE RCCID FROM tblRCC WHERE RCCID = " & vRCCID & ""
'////////////////////////////////////////////// End Sub
tblRCC is the one side of the relationship and tblPhase is the many side.
how to find the first space on the left of a text string, for example:I have this string : FUJIFILM XM-1 16-50mm BLACK and I want to find the space between FJUJIFILE and XM and then get all the text from XM onwards.I have this expression that gets me so far but then I'm stuck:
When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus. End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
Hi all, I basically have a long form which requires me to use the right side scroll bar to complete everything.
I currently have a top header area (which is great because it is viewable even as you scroll all the way down).
I'm wondering if Access is capable of having a "side header" (for lack of better words), i.e. on the right hand side have just a few buttons or fields that always stays there even though I scroll all the way down the form? This would work the same way as the header, just on the side instead.
I'm looking to build a product generator - so user will select from a series of combo box's (Bed, (could be 5000, 5100 etc) Plug,(could be A,B,C,D) Castor could be ZZ, AA, EE,etc) and a code will be generated. (i.e 5100CEE)
I can achieve this - but I've been thrown one of those balls that are curved. The end user also wants a picture of each part of the code to be outputed on the final order form - and here's where I'm struggling - as if I pull from my dumb form (with dumb combo box's) - I've nothing to link to - and if I link to a table, I get zillions of records.
Any advise, general direction, gratefully accepted.
Reet, I have a problem i have been pondering over for the last hour or so and im not sure the best way to do this! Its slightly tricky to explain so bare with me!
So I've made a Software Licensing Database which tracks licenses etc.. Its based information provided by another company which handles all my companies data handling etc..
Ok so in this database it tracks all installs and compares them against licenses. But this 3rd party company doesnt make life easy and sporadically buy licenses thus there's are always licensing issues here and there.. hence wantign the db to keep track. However rather than having a simple 10 licenses, 10 intalls for abit of software, they have created an entity called a Delta which is hand-me-down licenses. i.e.
So as you can see the Delta is Licenses available for lower versions & editions of software. So where I get these reports on a figures basis my boss wants me to physically give each install a license. Thus thats me breaking down a number of License into a singular form and assigning it to a specific person. Which is all done thats easy enough my problem is Incorporating the delta for that piece of software. So above as you can see for Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 I can happily assign those 25 Licenses to 25 of the 93 people but I dont know how to reference the 50 Delta Licenses on Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to the remaining 68 people.
Of course the example I have provided makes it seem not to difficult but you have to remember I have about 60 different versions of Adobe Acrobat, they have multiple editions (Pro, Standard, Corporate, blah blah...) Baisically I cannot see anyway of writing abit of VBA giving each bit of software a Hierachial order in which to refer to.
The best possible way of doing this I can see is creating an alternative table which I will have to manually go through the 23K bits of software and define which bits of software are higher up the foodchain & eligible for a 'Delta License'
Can someone take a look at the attached prgram and see where my error is:
From the control panel.....Click print invoice....enter 100 and then 1000.......for payment status I want to be able to either pull the "paid" invoices or "unpaid"..........I really dont understand why the tag request comment keeps poping up.......This is a program that I have taken and modified.....Tag rest number I do not beleive needs to be anymore.....
I have a database of equipment that is hired out. When the equipment is hired out the date is recorded and when it is returned the date is also recorded. That same piece of equipment may then be hired out again. What I want to be able to know is what equipment I still have in stock at the base. I have tried many different attempts of trying to get this to work but I don't seem to be having much success. Could someone please tell me how I can do this.
I am currently designing a stores management database similar to the Northwind database but alot less complicated. We dont need all stock price,sales price and order information. The objective of my database is to calculate stock on hand and have a alert if current stock levels are below a reorder level.
I have taken a begginers course on access and so far so good. Got my relationships sported and everything is working nicely apart from the stock on hand calculation.
What I have is a products form and inventory movement subform. I have a one to many relationship between the two and when you scroll through the products, the inventory movement is updated too. Great.
But now for the stock on hand calculation. I have inserted a formula into the header of the subform and it works fine, but when I do the same calculation on the form I either get a result that doesnt scroll over with each product or I get a #Error.
I'm stuck and have been working on this for a few weeks, if someone could help that would be great.
Thank you, Kerry. PS: see attached for description of relationships
I need a hand from your side with the following. The attached Excel workbook needs to be transformed into an Access 2003 database. It is a list of clients’cases represented by lawfirms and the amount of money that is involved. The case comes in under the ‘Aufstellung’ worksheet and can progress to a Claim or 2 different other Requests. Purpose of the database : 1.Fast entry of new cases 2.Easy look up of existing cases 3.Conform updating of existing cases (warning when a certain case number already exists) 4.Easy report running 5.Keep the entire history of updates, changes, deletions and processing to a Claim Tables : 1.Aufstellung 2.Claim Request 3.MB Request 4.MFA Request -Question 1 : In the tables you will see that several different appointment dates and hours for one case are listed in 1 cell. In order to keep the history of updates do I need to create a separate Appointments table ? How would I structure this then ? The unique identifier is the Case Number. But 5 columns (Columns E, F, G, H and K) are ellegible to be treated this way. Do I need to create 5 separate Appointments tables ? And how do link them ? -Question 2 : In order to split all the packed Appointments information in one cell I need to transfer the column to Word, replace the manual break by e.g. *, re-import the table in Excel and do text to columns ? So that each Case Number gets a number of columns accordingly to the number lines in the original cell ? Queries : 1.List all Failed cases per form 2.List all Open cases per form 3.List all Filed cases per form 4.List all New Date set by Authorities per form 5.List all No results per form 6.List all ABC per form
Forms : 1.Aufstellung 2.Claim Request 3.MB Request 4.MFA Request -Question 1 : How do I set up a check box in the Aufstellung form which, by checking off, will transfer the current record to the Claim Request form ? -Question 2 : How can I make a field to be a lookup field ? e.g. When typing a name, it will give a drop down list of existing names of the table and the possibility to type a new name which will be stored in the table ? -Question 3 : How do I make a pop-up warning message in the Austellung form when a certain case number exists already in the database ? And how do I block the case number field for duplicate entries ? Reports : 1.Aufstellung complete table 2.Claim request complete table 3.MB request complete table 4.MFA request complete table 5.List all Failed cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro 6.List all Open cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro 7.List all Filed cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro 8.List all New Date set by Authorities per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro 9.List all No results per Form (empties) and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro 10.List all ABC per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro -Question 1 : How do I include a count of the records into the report ? -Question 2 : How do I include a sum of the Main demand in Euro into the report ?
Switchboard : 1.Make a new entry or update an existing one a.Aufstellung b.Claim request c.MB Request d.MFA request 2.Search a.Case Number b.Applicant’s Name c.Date d.Court record Number 3.Reports a.Failed case b.Open cases c.Filed cases d.New date set by Authorities cases e.ABC cases 4.History a.Export history table to Excel through e-mail b.Who updated the record and when ? -Question 1 : Do I need to create a switchboard at the very beginning of my database ? -Question 2 : A switchboard can only contain 8 buttons, how do I create a sub switchboard ? -Question 3 : How do I set up the user access tracking – who updated what when ?
2) table 'Issuance' (Part#,Qty issued, date issued)
How to calculate current stock on-hand?
*previously this report are using ms excel table. i just tried to convert into access since i will have a better view, will a separate form to fill up, will have a report to pull in(hopefully... current on hand )
I've created a db for my mortage company and I have everything complete except returning customers. I want the customers to have the same customerID but different TransacionID. Sounds simple to me but im having problems. It could be a table issue but im hoping its just a form thing.
I have tables: Customers-CustomerID(autonumber),CustFirstName,CustLastName, PhoneNumber,EmailAddress,OriginatorID.
Then I have Table: Detail- CustomerId(lookup from customer table),TransactionId(autonumber),SSN,Address,City, State,Zip,Spoucename,CreditScore,
Then I have Table: Loan- TransactionId(lookup from Detail),LoanType,LoanAmount,StartDate,EndDate, LoanLender
I have a form for new customers which is the customer table. Then once the customer has his credit checked we enter the customer details with a form. Then when they want to move forword with a loan there is a form that pulls the TransactionID from the Detail Table.
I cant figure a way to make a form that will create a new transactionID associated to the custs CustomerID without overwritting the older record.
Heiiii Everybody I have s small problem please pay think for a second to answer me. !.... I have some forms and in those forms there is bar I don't know what is that , but there is something on the left side and I wanna remove it . what ever I do with form properties it is not going , may be I am doing wrong. I am sending the screen shot of one form please have a look and tell me how to remove it. thank you .
How can I calculate fieldA equal to fieldB for all text before "#"
e.g. I have a text field where the length of characters before the "#" varies. in general the field looks like this.. "abcde#zyxwv" Want to calculate that field to be equal to "abcde" since it precedes the #??
I searched this forum and was unsuccessful with InStr() and Left() functions. :confused:
I have two queries, property info (one) and budgets v spend (many). I'm trying to work out what the gross price is, property cost plus budget or spend (which ever is higher). Got that working no problem.
However if there is no budget or spend I just need to show the property cost but I'm just getting Error#. I've tried using the nz function but that's not working.
