Forms :: Place Cursor At The End Of First Line In Memo Field
Dec 2, 2014I have created a button that takes the contents of a memo field and adds a new line of text at the top with the date, time and initials of staff member. So far, so good...
However I want it to end with the cursor ready at the end of the first line (to type the note) The following code does everything but ends by putting the cursor right at the end of all of the text in the memo field (instead of the end of the first line):
Code:
Private Sub Command59_Click()
Me.Note = Format(Now, "d mmm yyyy hh:nn") & " - " & "(" & DLookup("[login]", "logintable") & ") " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Me.Note
Me.Note.SetFocus
Me.Note.SelStart = Len(Me.Note)
Me.Note.SelLength = 0
End Sub
How To Type In Number Value On Screen Field Without Having To Place Cursor At Beginning
Dec 5, 2013I'm having trouble with a field on my DB. I have a field named zip code. It has a limit of 5 characters that are only number values, I'm not having any trouble with entering information at all, it's easiest when I just tab into the cell from the previous one. However, the part I am having trouble with is when I click within the field and the cursor, let's say, is at the second character line, and I enter the zipcode 15222, it'll only enter 1522 since my cursor is at the second line.
How can I fix this so that wherever my cursor is, within the box it'll type the full 5 digit zip code? My boss is insistent on making sure that even if he clicks towards the right of the box, it should type the full number.

Changing Cursor On OLE Object
Apr 14, 2006Hi, Is it possible to get the cursor to change on a OLE object like it does on an Hyperlink? How know that you can do that with a text box with the "Is hyperlink" Format property or by adding a space in "the hyperlink address" of a command button but I can't see any property that I can change for an Ole object or a label. Is someone know if it would be possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedProgress Bar/Cursor Problem
May 17, 2005Hi,
I'm struggling with a very formal, not to say aesthetic, problem on one of my form used as a progress bar.
This form is very simple, it contains only one unbound control that is called "Percentage".
It displays the percentage of completion, when launching a report based on a somewhat "heavy" crosstab query (lots of records, etc.).
Anyway, the goal is to inform the user that the report is being processed, so that he knows wether he has time to get a coffee, or whatever he wants (the process may take as long as 2 or 3 mn).
As far as code is concerned, the variant "Percentage" is simply incremented in a loop included in the report design code, and refreshes the value of the "Percentage" control displayed in my form.
Everything works fine, except that I can't figure out a way to get rid of the cursor that stays in the unbound control : in fact, the percentage is displayed in reverse video, since the cursor focuses on the control at every iteration. Which gives my "progress bar" form quite an ugly look, and makes it difficult to read, whereas besides this "bug" it is perfectly satisfying.
Any idea anyone ?
Thanks in advance for this.
Cursor Location In A Text Box
Jun 17, 2005Hello all,
I have a text box that allows users to type a letter to a customer with a listbox next to it. The listbox is filled with data such as the customer's name, address, etc.... When the user double clicks an item from the list box, it should insert the appropriate data into the text box.
The problem is, is there a way to determine the current cursor location in the textbox so I know where to add the data?
For example, the cursor location has been determined before the text box lost the focus and now i am inserting the apporpriate data:
Textbox = left(TextBox, CursorLocation) & DataFromListbox & right(textbox,len(textbox) - CursorLocation)
Thanks for all your help.

Few days ago I found some VB code which autometically move the cursor to the left of the field (with input mask) in a form to begin with... I mean whereever you click the cursor in the field it autometically comes in the beginning (left)...
I remember i have tried it with a sample form... but now today i can't find it...
I think i lost it...
Today i have searched the forum for this but coudn't retrive it...
Could someone find me out where it is??
Thanks in advance for your help
Cursor To Beginning / End Of A Field
May 26, 2006I have done a half-dozen searches and only gotten 1 option.
There is a simple way to have the cursor at the beginning or end of a field when it arrives in a new field.
I saw the VBA code aboyt setting the length. There is an easier, simpler way to set it so that you don't have to apply the vba code to every single indiviual field.
I remember learning about it here on this forum, but now can't find it.
Can anyone remember how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Help With Code For Moving Cursor
Jun 16, 2005First I am no good with code so I need your help!
I have code that tells the cursor to move to a certain field.
Private Sub Form_Current()
ClaimNumber.SetFocus
End Sub
It works for the most part - our problem with this is if we have the form open and we are searching on a different field say "Last name" when we click find next it finds the first one but if we click find next again it tells us that there is no records. This is because the cursor has moved to the ClaimNumber field.
Is there a way I can modify this code to say move the cursor only on a new record.
Any help would be great!

Move Cursor To Next Field 'onchange' Etc..
Apr 17, 2005I have 4 drop down lists calling values from a query.
This part works as expected.
However, I would like the focus to automatically change to the next drop down field after ANY (valid) entry is made.
IE
Drop Down 1: "any value" ----> focus automatically set to Drop Down 2, etc
The code I have only relates to 1 of the drop down values, I want it to rerlate to any of the values.
*************
Private Sub Question1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Question1 = "Yes" Then
Me.Question2.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
*************
My values are simple, just "yes" "no" "I don't know", etc.
OR
If this cannot be done with drop downs, how about with field lists?
:cool:
Force Cursor To Start Of Text Box?
May 6, 2005Is it possible to force the cursor to move to the start of a text box when it gets the focus? (I suppose what I am really asking here is, is it possible to force a 'Home' key event?)
There is a text entry box, which when people put the cursor into it, it sometimes sits part the way in, consequently the operator could end up trying to type in more information than there is available space. I know that education might go along way here, but you just can't teach some people.

Position Of Cursor On New Record On A Form
Aug 21, 2006I'm trying to ensure that each time a new record is opened in a form, that the cursor is positioned in the first control/field... I have this throughout most of my application but not in a few individual forms.
I know I've done something in the past to ensure that this happens, but I can't remember what it was...
Thanks,

Making Cursor Go Back To The Record I Came From?
Dec 27, 2006I have a subform (continuous) which shows a summary of all clients basic data in a list. Clicking a client requerys and refreshes some other subforms so the accompanying data for that client is shown. Whenever I double click a record, the "main" window for that "object" opens. So say I double click on client A1 in the summary list, a form opens where I can view all the clients data and change it if necessary. That same form is also used to add clients to the database.
Whenever I change or add a clients data and close the form, the following code is executed:
Private Sub Form_Close()
On Error GoTo ClientsAdd_Err
Forms![ClientsMain]![ClientsViewSummarySubForm].Form.Requery
Forms!ClientsMain.Refresh
ClientsAdd_Exit:
Exit Sub
ClientsAdd_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume ClientsAdd_Exit
End Sub
Which makes the new client appear in the summary list or makes the changed data of an existing client appear in the summary list. That's what I want it to do of course.
But whenever that is done, the cursor jumps back to the first record (client 1) in the summary list. What I would like to have happen is:
- when a new client has been added, keep the cursor on that client in the summary list after the form closes and the list is updated.
- when a record of an already existing client is changed and the form closes, keep the cursor on that client in the list also.
DoCmd.GoToRecord acForm, "ClientsViewSummarySubForm", acLastgives "The object ClientsViewSummarySubForm isn't open. As does the same line of code but then using the name "ClientsViewSummary". The form itself is called that way. The subform object itself goes by: "ClientsViewSummarySubForm".
I've tried some variations but all without succes.
Which line of code is the correct one to use for a subform on a parentform instead of "just" a normal, open form?

Auto Put Cursor In First Position When Clicking In Text Box?
Mar 10, 2005I have several fields with text boxes and input masks. When a user clicks in these fields, it puts them in whatever position in the text box they click in. If they click to the far right, it takes them to the right position and doesn't let them type the entire date, formula, etc.
Any way to set the text box so that no matter where they click it automatically starts in the first position?
