HI
I have a list box which sometimes needs extensive scrolling to the right to see other data.
Im wondering whether I can freeze the first few columns (key info) so I can trace the other data when scrolling. (i.e. like in an Excel spreadsheet)
I dont mind what coding if I have to - any suggestions please?
Access 2007 has hung up while I scrolled from left to right through the columns in a linked ODBC table in datasheet view. I understand why it "hangs" while scrolling through rows, but I've never heard of it doing this for columns and I am talking about a complete freeze up here.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a code for event procedure OnEnter() that allows me to expand my list box so that i can see a list that's larger than the size of it. I was hoping to multiple select from the list and do it at a glance because my list is very long.

Well i have a table with 39 observations. I made a form that updates the data of thid table. So the next values would be the observation number 40. What i wanted to do i that my form only showed the field that is not filled up, in this case would be the 40. Its like the form shows the 40 observation in blank and lets me fill up. After i fill it up it should only show me the 41 and so forth. And also block all the previous form editing.
Can anyone help
Thanks a lot :)
Kind regards
Hi All,
I have a list box and I populate it with records from a "Select" query. I am using VBScript to do this. Here are my codes:
gr1_list.RowSource="Select Criteria from CriteriaList WHERE Criteria='" & cvalue & "';"
My "CriteriaList" table has two columns; Criteria and CriteriaDescriptions.
The question is, what if in my list box I want to be able to see both 'Criteria' and 'CriteriaDescription?' How would I code this?
Thank you.
I have a table of data (codes & amounts) which I want to display on a form via a list box (purely for information purposes; the list box will be locked / disabled). Basically, the list box will mimic a pivot table as it would appear in Excel, albeit without any of the filtering functionality.Codes can appear multiple times in the source table, each with a different value assigned to it.
The list box should have 3 columns :the unique code strings
the number of instances of that code string (i.e. Count)
the total value assigned to that code string (i.e. Sum)
In descending order based on the number of instances of each code
I have the following query set up to pull the data :
Quote:
SELECT tblData.Code AS Expr1, Count(*) AS CodeCount, Sum(tmp.Amount) AS CodeSum
FROM (SELECT Code, Amount FROM tblData) AS tmp
GROUP BY tblData.Code
ORDER BY Count(*) DESC;
I want the 3rd column of the listbox (the summed value) to appear as a formatted $ amount rather than a raw floating point. So "$10,000" rather than "10000.00". And, if at all possible, right aligned.But I have no way of formatting the columns of the list box (that I am aware of) either through the listbox properties directly or by VBA indirectly.Is there another way I can do this, either by applying the formatting to the query itself or any other trick to somehow apply the formatting as I need it?
When I add something in a table using a form, I always want an automatic date, namely today's date. So I set this in the form with NOW (). The only thing is, when I view my records a day later, it automatically adjusts the dates. I don't want to type in the date every time, because it's always todays date. But I don't want the table to adjust the data-capturing dates automatically.Any suggestions to get around this?
View 3 Replies View Relatedhi! I asked this question before, and i didn't understand the answer.
I have a form with a subform. at first, i disable the subform until the main form is filled completely. Then, I have a button to enable the subform. This button also disables the main form.
My first line in the subform needs to mirror the info in the main form. To do this, i open a recordset, and then use .AddNew to fill in the details.
I don't want this first line to be edit-able or delete-able once it has been filled. How do I lock it from being edited? Also, if I later decide to delete everything on the form, will i be able to clear the whole form if this line in the subform is locked?
Please helpp
I have created a list that has 5 column. Data is filled in list using a query. I know how to remove 2 columns, but I do not know how to increase the width of columns.

I need to freeze the panes in an Excel spreadsheet form within Access. I have the following code:
Code:
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Set ApXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlWBk = ApXL.Workbooks.Add
Set xlWSh = xlWBk.Worksheets(1)
With xlWSh.Range("B5")
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
End With
The codes runs, but the panes are not frozen. (I got this from the Excel macro recorder)
I need both panes frozen. Where is my error?
What is the correct way to save the values in a listbox column to the fields of a table? I can use rec("field1") = Me.list16.ItemData(Varitem)and that records the bound column to field 1 but how can I save the unbound columns to other fields in the table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi there peeps
I would be really grateful if anyone could tell me if it's possible to have a horizontal scroll bar on a form that only moves part of the form's contents... similar to the freeze panes option in excel.
Obviously vertically you can use the form header and footer, but there doesn't seem to be anything horizontally that is equivalent.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
I have to build an estimate worksheet from scratch on Access I am almost finished with the project but I have a few questions.
(SEE ATTACHMENT FOR CLARIFICATION)
1. There is a labor section on the form where the user selects the combo box adds the quantity of workers, and number of hours. The output would be what the total amount needed for that trade. On a different table i have the wages of each trade per month that is associated to the form. My problem is if there is a new wage amount for a trade it will affect all my previous records and i do not want that. Is there a way i can set it to only change my new records. In file maker there is something called defined record that is a solution for that program but i was wondering if i could do the same for access or Visual basic application for access. Another solution that I had in mind was like having a button where user could click and all field’s data will not be changed in the future.
2. There is a material section on this form where user input cost of materials. Once user is finished with data entry they click on a button that generates another form for presenting/printing purposes. The thing is that not all fields are always used i wanted to know if there is a way on to adding a flex grid so there would take less space up?
Access 2013 on Windows 7 ..I have a Main Switchboard form which is Pop-up and Modal. Everything on it is working as required, but if I am in Design View and try to switch directly to Form view, the form disappears and the Access screen freezes - the mouse moves, but no menus or objects can be selected. If I have the VBA window open, I can carry on working in it, saving the modules and closing that window as usual. But the only way to open a form or do anything else in the main screen is to kill Access by closing the Access window in the system tray (or using the Task Manager).
If I close the Switchboard when in Design view and then open it in Form view, everything's fine.
The only recent change I can think of is upgrading from a 32-bit implementation of Access to 64-bit.
I'm a newbie with Access, how to reorder the displaying of the columns in a Combo Box dropdown list of have in my Access 2007 application.
The columns that are being displayed are (in the current order):
Part Name
Unit Price
Parts.Web_Category
I want the order to be the following:
Parts.Web_Category
Part Name
Unit Price
Runtime Error 3075? I have attached a copy of my database. I am trying to make a calendar form with the list boxes having two columns. It works fine with the strFieldID and strFieldName but when I try adding the strDone I run into the error.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a listbox set to Multiselect property of Simple. The listbox is populated by using a table. There are 4 columns in the listbox
Code:
1 3/23/2014 4/5/2014 2014
2 4/6/2014 4/19/2014 2014
3 4/20/2014 5/3/2014 2014
The columns are PayPeriod, StartDate, EndDate, FiscalYear
What I want to be able to do is highlight a chunk of dates and have the first selected StartDate and the last selected EndDate populate two hidden text boxes so I can use them for my queries/reports.
I've tried a couple different ways. Each time what happens is it only uses the last item I have selected in it's calculations.
Code:
Dim ItemIndex As Variant
For Each ItemIndex In Me.lstPayPeriods.ItemsSelected
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex) And Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex - 1) = False Then
Date1.SetFocus
Date1.Text = Me.lstPayPeriods.Column(2, Me.lstPayPeriods.ListIndex)
End If
Next
In this example I tried to have it go through each Item of the listbox. I wanted to check to see if the current row was selected and the row before it wasn't. That way I could determine it was the first item selected in the group of selected items. It would always only use the last item I had selected.
Code:
Dim CurrentRow As Integer
Dim FirstDate As Date
For CurrentRow = 0 To Me.lstPayPeriods.ListCount - 1
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(CurrentRow) Then
Date2.SetFocus
[Code] ....
I tried to do something similar with this code. Again, it only uses the last item I have selected.
I am trying to obtain totals from two columns in the list box into text boxes on the main form, but my third argument is not working as expected.The source of one of the tex boxes is:
Code:
=DSum("Airtickets","T_Training_Participants.ProgrammeID=Me.lstParticipants")
I want to sum only amounts of the records that equal or belong to a selected programme (ProgrammeID) in the bigger list box above.
Does anyone know why with some combo boxes, when I grab the scroll bar and haul it to the bottom of the records, after I let go of the mouse button, the scroll jumps back up to around the middle of the combo box? Then, I have to keep pulling it to the bottom several times before it finally gets to the last record.
Thanks
This is not an other post about disabling the mouse wheel in access application but an other issue that is starting to really bug me...
Some of my forms have a continuous subform, I can normally use the scroll wheel to go up and down the different record in the subform BUT i have noticed that if there is just a small amount of record in the subform (let's say three for example) when I scroll down the different records, they disapear in the detail header frame of the subform and only the last record is visible which I guess I don't mind to much. What annoys me is that if I scroll back up nothing happens the 2 records stay hidden behind the frame and the only way to put it back to normal is to use the scrolling bar on the right of the subform!???
I was wondering if anybody had a similar problem and if there is any solution to it?
In Access (2003) I was able to (by default?) scroll through records with the mouse scroll wheel. That no longer works. How can I have the form scroll backwords and forwards with the mouse wheel?
I've been reading threads and it sounds like MS "fixed" a feature that I was relying on heavily to move through records. I can't find a way to enable it again......
Hi,
how can i stop wheel mouse scrolling on certain forms? it is ok on some forms but others where specific data is viewed can be scrolled to a blank space.
Many Thanks,
Nigel
I'm using access 2000, and have built a long form. My users would like to be able to use their mouse wheel to scroll down the length of the form rather than having to click the scrollbar. is there a way to do this? (I'm sorry if I missed this being answered in another thread, I looked but did not find.)
Thanks

Hello,
This is kind of ridiculous, but I'd like to get to the bottom of it.
I have a form with a tab control on it, which holds all my controls on several pages. The tab control takes up almost the entire form; there's only a small area of the underlying form visible around it.
For some strange reason, every time I open the form or switch from design mode to form mode, the form scrolls down a bit, on its own, so that my tabs are hidden and I have to manually scroll back up to see them.
Apart from being very annoying, this may also hide the fact from some unsuspecting future user, that there are any tabs at all.
Can somebody explain this, and, hopefully, suggest a solution?
Thank you.
Hey, just a quick question that I hope someone out there maybe able to help with :-) In form view I don't want the mousewheel to scroll through my records when I use it, Can someone tell me what is the easiest way of turning this option off? I tried editing the [event procedure] in the form properties but it bought up a page in VB which I have no idea how to use. Sorry if that is confusing, basically i only want mousewheel to scroll down the form page that I'm on and NOT iterate through all my records. Any help would be much apprecitated :-) Thanks
