When I open a Form, it appears in the proper size. Then, I go and open a Report, which is a DoCmd.Maximum on open. This works well. The report is enlarged. Now, when I go to open a form, the size of the form is max.
I tried Borderline dialog, fit window, DoCmd.MoveSize, and a couple of other things, but I cannot get those forms to keep their original size-they blow up!
How can this be accomplished?

I have a form presented in datasheet layout.
I set the initial sort by two columns, but I would like to keep highest priority for that initial sort, so when user wants to sort by some other columns that sort happens inside my initial sort.
Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

I have a button on Form1 that when clicked opens Form2. I want Form2 to be a certain size everytime it opens. I can't seem to get this to happen, it always resizes depending on Form1 being maximised or not.
Dusp
I need to make the text size smaller to fit everything on the screen (users use 17" monitors..). I have gone into each form and subform and changed the text size for each text box to 9, but when I view them in form view the size has not changed ?
Also .. is there any way to make the autocentre option actually work as it's name suggests !! ? it does in most cases centre horizontally, but never vertically, quite often putting the top of the pop up form over the ribbon bar.
I would actually like to be able to totally remove the ribbon bar so that only the database forms are the only thing the user sees.
I vaguely remember being able to do this in Access 97 (Which was the last version I used - a long time ago !) but this seems to be more difficult in 2010 version.
I just change from a 1024x768 monitor to a 1600x1200. Now my database is squished due to the smaller pixel size and it is uncomfortably small. How can I adjust the DB to "fit" the new display, or any other monitor resolution setting.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have one form "Products" that I have a button on which opens up another form. The second form lists a different number of lines depending on how many items are in a group.
The problem I am having is that I can not make the second form shrink or grow depending on how many line items I have in each group. Currently, I have to make the form as large as the most possible lines I could have (which is 19) but sometimes I might only have 5 lines in a form.
i just wanna ask can i set a field size for a textbox so that it can be entered only a limited number a words
For example, when i set field size = 8 and want to type beautiful, it will stop at "beautifu".
I have a subform that shows notes entered but if there is more text in the field then you cant see it all. Can I make it so that this field will grow so the whole input is visible or can I make it so when you click on it it opens in a larger window showing all the txt?

View 11 Replies View RelatedIt has been a month and I'm still 'stuck' on my Microsoft Access lessons due to a peculiar error. I have a video of the error, but it won't let me post a link until I have 10 posts. When I create an action button and then scroll at all, the button jumps in size 50% to the right and down, but this extra space can't be edited. Clicking on the 'extra space' is like clicking the background.

1. Reinstalling Office 365

I have a project where the schedule calls for a web-enabled database for 100+ users to merge five separate systems into one. If I can't get past this problem, I can't continue my lessons.
I have a form that has 2 subforms. When I try to print the current file there are a few problems,
1) When you use the print option in File menu, and select "Selected Records" , it will always print the second record, no the one selected.
2) No matter how often I change the printer properties , it will not keep the paper size I request.
Is there a script I could use to set the size and print the current record ?

I have a form that contains a blank text box for each field in a record. Until very recently it functioned correctly for years. Lately data enterers tried to fill a ten character field with five characters (ANNNN format, example X9999). Some records require an entry in this text box, some do not, so their field is left blank. Lately when a new entry is tried in this field, only the first three characters are accepted, blocking character four through ten from being entered. It acts as if the text length for this text box has been changed to three characters, but it is still the correct length in the Properties box.
The system keeps track of clients who have attended a nutrition education class and the form involved is the location the class was taught.
I have a form to input data into a table1. On the form I have a combo box to read from a next table exchange rate to input into the table1. Field in Tablet for the exchange rate is set to Field size double, Format currency, and decimals 6.
I am unable to set the field size on the form to read the 6 decimals. The combo box is set to Currency decimal 6. I tried General Number and it still only shows only one decimal.
I have a datasheet on a form that is unable to show all records in the size allowed. Consequently it has a vertical scroll bar. However, the scroll bar allows scrolling to the bottom whereby there is white space almost the same size as the data records. The horizontal scroll bar does much the same.
Is it possible to just show the records and only the width of the data in them.? No extra records exist in the table to cause this.

Hi guys, I made an application consisting of an Access frontend with an MySQL db as backend. I have to deploy it through different offices in different cities and I would like to know how can I maintain the same .mdw (security file) for all the PCs. Some users will move constanly between offices and I need an easy way to maintaint the .mdw coherent between them, and I don't find how to do it. Hanging the .mdw on the web would be perfect (perhaps not for security, but I'm much more concerned about usability), but Access doesn't seem to allow it easily. Does anyone know how can I solve this problem? thx
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 comboboxes (cboTeacher1 and cboTeacher2) and I do not want them to contain the same value. If the same value is chosen, I want a messagebox to show the error and keep the focus in the offending combobox.
I wrote the code below for cboTeacher1 and it functions in the case that your are making a selection in cboTeacher1; however, if you click ok on the msgbox and then press tab, the mesage box is not redisplayed and the focus is switched from cboTeacher1.
I tried placing the same code also in the cboTeacher_Exit event and when tabbing out of cboTeacher1, the msgbox is displayed, but the focus will not stay in cboTeacher1, it shifts to cboTeacher2.
How do I keep the focus locked in cboTeacher1 until both cboTeacher1 and cboTeacher2 contain different values.
Private Sub cboTeacher1_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If cboTeacher1.Column(1) = Me.cboTeacher2.Column(1) Then
' Both Primary and Secondary Teachers are the same
'Determine if either Teacher cbo contains a null value
If IsNull(cboTeacher1) = False Or IsNull(cboTeacher2) = False Then
' Alert the User of the discrepancy
MsgBox "You can not have the same teacher's name in bowth Primary and Secondary Teacher"
Me.SetFocus
End If
End If
End Sub

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi I have a table that looks like this
ordered_equip--------------2008------------2009-----------2010
itemCode1-------------------0----------------1--------------0
itemCode2-------------------0----------------2--------------1
itemCode3-------------------0----------------2--------------1
As you can see in the year 2010 items 2 and 3 go down from qty 2 to 1. What I am trying to do is to keep track of everything that was ever shipped to the customer. So with that in mind the above table is showing that Qty-2 was ordered in 2009 and Qty-1 was ordered in 2010. I want to add these as I go along. So my desired table would look like the following
ordered_equip--------------2008------------2009-----------2010
itemCode1-------------------0----------------1--------------1
itemCode2-------------------0----------------2--------------3
itemCode3-------------------0----------------2--------------3
in this table 2010 shows Qty-3 which means 2 was present on site in year 2009 and 1 more was added in 2010 to make the qty 3. I want to write a storedProcedure or something similar to convert the first table into the second table. I said storedProcedure because I am used to doing this in SQL Server.
Hi,
Can anyone help me please?
I have a combo box which displays the primary key. It then takes the other values from the cbo and then displays them in other text boxes in the form.
This is great.
I am trying to keep the values in record 1and then move on to record 2. reecord 2 has the same values as in record 1 (the values from the cbo!!!) I am trying to keep the values in record 1 and then go to record 2 and select different values in record 2 from the same cbo. Record 1 and record 2 as well as any other record contain the same values from the cbo.
I am stuck - I am not sure how to rectify this problem so that I can choose different values. The cbo is based on a query from other tables.
Please let me know how to do this as I am still finding this tiresome.
Many thanks.
If a user wishes to delete a record, rather than deleting the record i'd like to change its status to not current for instance.
The reason being that the information in the records may be useful for statistical use.
I added a yes/no field to the table and then added some code to a delete button to change the yes/no.
I can't seem to hide these records from my forms (using filter) but I could be going the wrong way about it.
