I got 2 forms that are relatively similar. One of them works fine but the other does not. It still lets me enter data into the field even though Limit To List property is turned on. I believe this is a combo box and I gave this field a value list for the user to choose from.
View RepliesI have an Access application for which I would like to provide potential customers with a fully functional application but with a limit to the number of records that can be stored in the main file.
I would like to have a message displayed to say "The maximum number of records have been reached for this application."
Could you help with the VB code required to do this? The module will become active at the "On Open" property when the main Form is opened.
Thank you.

Hi all..
I use the following code in my application to select a particular column value in a list box..
myvalue = SearchResults_LB.Column(5, i)
In my computer the column count starts with 0. So, the above statement sets the myvalue to the 6th column. But when I install the same application on an other computer it sets myvalue to 5th column.
Looks like I need to set the base value of the listbox column property somewhere!
I hope it is an easy one for many of you.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am trying to display data from a table. One of the fields is entered via a combo box. When displaying that data on a form I need to be able to allow items not on the list(created by a select query) to be displayed for this field. The data was created some time ago and it seems that records have been deleted in certain places which has resulted in inconsistent data.
I am happy resticting data entry for new records, but need to allow items not on the list to be displayed for historical data. Data entre and displaying of historical data take place on seperate forms so this is no problem.
My problem is that I am only able to disable limit to list if I make the bounded column anything other than 1 and doing this displays the wrong data!
Am I attempting the imposible or if not, can anyone help?
I want to avoid the properties list to pop out when a form is viewed in dsview. I remember there was a property to set that but I cannot find it.

I have 2 tables. One is Quotation and the other one is Contacts.
In Quotation Table i use a combo box to select a Customer from Customer Table.
Also in Quotation Table a have a combo box (TO) to select a name from Contacts Table.
The problem is that i want to select contacts only related to Customers and not view the
complete list.
For example Vodafone Company has several contacts.
When i press Vodafone in my quotation form then when i go to (To) combo box i would like to view only the
related contacts.
I tried the SELECT statement WHERE but i can to figure out how i will limit the list depending the Customer Name?
Please help.
Is it possible (without using VB) to limit the number of selections a user can make in a multiple value list?
My list is one a form and when in the form field it brings up a total of 15 names with checkboxes, allowing you to "check" each name you want. However, I want to be able to have as many names as I need in the list, but limit the user to selecting only two of them.
I have a list of customers. [ID] on (Form1)
I click_on their name [ID] that opens a dialogue (Form2 )specific to them.
I have a table of several dates with the relevant [ID]
I want a dropdown box on Form2 that only shows the dates for that specific customer[ID]
Ive tried [Form2].[ID] in the criteria of the ID field in the query for the dropdown data source.
I want to limit the results in a query to the selected items on a list box - how do I do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem. The problem is that I have a form contains two list boxes controls and a calender control. The calender control is invisible by default.
When I click a Show button, to show the calender contol, it appears but behind the list boxes controls. How can I allow it to fully appear on top of all the controls in the form.
Thanks,
I have never used the tag property but while reviewing some design stuff it occurred to me that maybe I am overlooking it's usefulness and was wondering how some of you may have used it...?

hello,
I have a txtBox. Its backColor property changes according to what I do on the form. Now, when I close the form and reopen it, the backColor is not the same one with which the form was closed.
Ex. red, green
if I close the form having the backColor = green, then when I reopen it, it changes to red.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing
Thank you
Hi all
I have searched through this forum and on google, and I know that I can refer to a combobox's column property IN VBA by
[myform]![mycombobox].column(1)
When I do this in SQL, it complains that there is an "unidentified function" (column). What am I doing wrong?
How do I set the Required property for field that already exists via SQL. I'm thinking along the lines of: ALTER TABLE table1 ALTER COLUMN field1 text(50) NOT REQUIRED.
But this doesn't work, any clues?
I'd like to create a table with 240 fields. I know that the max is 255, however, I'm getting a message "property value too large" after I've created 114. Any ideas? All the number fields are byte size. Thanks!

I guess I have too many columns in my database and I'm getting the error message "Property value is too large" when trying to open the database table. When I was using Access 2000, I was still able to open the database but using Access 2003, the database will not open. Is there a way around this so I can open the table to fix it?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhat I'd like to do is for my combo boxes to say something like "Select One" when the form is first loaded, until the user opens the box and selects something. My combo boxes work fine now, but they are currently empty when the form loads.
From my google research it appeared that the OnLoad property would probably help me do what I want, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere in Access. It's not anywhere in the property window and the help search doesn't return any results.
I'm using Access 2003 from MS Office Professional Edition 2003.
Am I missing an upgrade or does my version not have this property, or am I just missing it?
Hi all
I have a lstbox on a bound form. the lstbox is based on a query. I want the first item in the box to be selected. This is what ive used:
Private Sub roll_class_select_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.Requery "lststudents"
Me.lststudents.Selected(0) = True
End Sub
But then the form gets stuck. None of the other controls will work. The first list item is selected but it then wants to be the centre of attention and everything else can bugger off.
Any ideas as to how I can fix it??

I have a subform (subform1) which allows me to select a value which then dictates which record is shown in the other subform (subform2). I want to run a macro every time subform2 has a different value -- without me having to click anywhere in subform2. I have tried to attach the macro to every place I can think of and it just doesn't seem to run. I am thinking it is because subform2 isn't receiving the focus. How do I give subform2 the focus and which event property should I be trying for?

I have seen someone's database that had tiny circles containing a "?" which, when clicked, opened up a sentence or two. A search for "Tag" on this site strikes out, also.I am hoping to place these little links near fields that may need more explanation. In the ones I have seen before, the little explanation field that popped up disappeared as soon as the focus went elsewhere without the user having to close it. I have succeeded in using the tag property to open a true popup form, but this is clunkier than I want--would just like to learn how to do the other.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have designed a software package based around an Access Database at my company (based in the UK). There is a good chance that the company will be able to sell the software and potentially make a handsome profit.
My boss wants me to sign an Intellectual Property Rights agreement. Does anybody know what this means? Which of my rights does it effect? Would it prevent me from developing the same software if I left the company?
Any help would be much appreciated. I've found some resources on the web but they seem to apply mainly to music. Just wondered if anyone had had a similar experience.
Cheers.
