Making A Subform Look Nice
Aug 22, 2007
I have a subform on a form I am using to track/display events. The subform is where the user enters in the names of team members. This number can vary from 0-12 and I currently have the subform grow to display all of the team members. However, it is all in one column and I cannot seem to figure out how to change the font size in the subform (I have tried multiple methods). What I would like to do is have a smaller font size and display the team members in a manner where no more than 4 names are in a column. If 4 team members are exceeded, I would like to see this in a column right next to the first column of team members. I hope I made sense and I hope someone can give me some insight.

I'm a bit frustrated with how Jet is behaving with the server (MySQL).Apparently it loves to issues commands like those: 48 QuerySELECT `city`.`ID` FROM `city` WHERE ( 'ABW' = `CountryCode` ) 48 QuerySELECT `ID`,`Name`,`CountryCode`,`District`,`Population` FROM `city` WHERE ( 'ABW' = `CountryCode` ) limit 10071114 13:44:25 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1 48 QueryCALL BEGINTRAN 48 QuerySELECT `Code`,`Name`,`Continent`,`Region`,`SurfaceArea`,` IndepYear`,`Population`,`LifeExpectancy`,`GNP`,`GN POld`,`LocalName`,`GovernmentForm`,`HeadOfState`,` Capital`,`Code2` FROM `country` WHERE `Code` = 'ABW'071114 13:44:27 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryUPDATE `country` SET `Name`='Aruba' WHERE `Code` = 'ABW' AND `Name` = 'Arubz' AND `Continent` = 'North America' AND `Region` = 'Caribbean' AND `SurfaceArea` = 1.93000000000000000e+002 AND `IndepYear` IS NULL AND `Population` = 103000 AND `LifeExpectancy` = 7.84000015258789060e+001 AND `GNP` = 8.28000000000000000e+002 AND `GNPOld` = 7.93000000000000000e+002 AND `LocalName` = 'Aruba' AND `GovernmentForm` = 'Nonmetropolitan Territory of The Netherlands' AND `HeadOfState` = 'Beatrix' AND `Capital` = 129 AND `Code2` = 'AW' 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1071114 13:44:28 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1 48 QueryCALL ROLLBACKTRANI want to use transactions, but with Jet's behavior, it's useless because Jet insists on committing every update it does. Disabling transactions in the ODBC driver didn't stop it. (This is why you see "CALL [Transaction method] in the query- I figured that if I made a stored procedure, disabling transactions, Jet would STFU and let me decide when to commit or rollback the transaction, but it blithely ignores the setting...)There's no "Safe Transactions" value anywhere, and I don't know where I'd look to alter Jet's behavior, already having looked at regedit and reading the whitepaper on JET and ODBC.I also seems can't to use ODBCDirect workspace for bound forms, and even if I set the recordset to a ODBCDirect workspace, I lose all Jet's intelligence in selecting only needed records (in which it does a wonderful job, I'd think). I also can see that if I create a ODBCDirect workspace, I would be creating one more (unwanted) connection to the server, which indicates to me that Jet/Default workspace will connect to the server anyway, and because the default workspace isn't an ODBCDirect, I can't modify/view connection properties.Can I please have my cake and eat it? Anybody knows whether the behavior can be altered?

I have a subform that comes from a table. Depending on who is signed on I need to make some of the records (in the subform) editable, and others readonly (based on some value in the record).
For instance You have several sales managers and when a sales manager signs on to the application we know which state he is from and he can see all records (in the subform) for all states. For the records relating to states other than his state (CA) he can only access them read-only, he can't change them. For the records that have a value of State = "CA" he can change them.
Any ideas (VBA would be ok, and probably necessary).
Thanks

In my Student Administration database I am trying to launch a popup form from a sub-form of a Job Positions and Seekers form. The sub form is actually one of 2 sub-forms, both Continuous Forms default view, on a form linked via an unbound control (MasterJobPosID).
The first sub-form is called and lists open Job Positions and the 2nd sub form is called and lists all Students Seeking each of the positions. The Students Seeking subform is linked to the unbound control MasterJobPosID in the main form which is set to equal the Job Positions subform's JobPosRecNo field which is the key to the Job Positions table.
The popup form is called Job Employment and is being launched via an event macro from the Students Seeking subform. It will allow the user to create a record in the Job Employment table. The event macro has a Where statement that says "=JobPositionID And Student", an attempt to link it to both the Job Position record being filled and the Student filling it.
I am able to populate the popup form's fields in expressions setting Default Values equal to fields on the loaded Job Positions subform and the Student from the Students Seeking subform. What I am unable to get is the Job Position record key from any of the 3 fields it appears in on the Job Positions and Seekers form:
MasterJobPosID on the main form.JobPosRecNo on the Job Positions sub form.JobPositionID on the Students Seeking subform.
I want that to link the new Job employment record to the Job Position record the student is filling. In fact I get a parameter prompt for JobPositionID when the popup form is launched.

Hi guys,
I have a form (frmMain) which contains 3 subforms and they are being set to visible at different stages of application run (depending on the options selected).
In subfrm_Main_options i have 3 buttons, clicking on 'Job Review' will make the subfrm_Search visible. In the subfrm_Search i have 2 labels, 'View Jobs' and 'View Report' and I only want the 'View Jobs' to be visible!
I have tried setting the visible property of this label to False in the subfrm_Main_Options but its giving me an error (saying the form subfrm_Search is closed or does not exist in the database!). I also tried using a Global Variable (ViewJobs - declared in module mdlPublicVars) and set it to True once the 'Job Review' is clicked in the subfrm_Main_Options form, and then look at this in subfrm_Search and then display the correct label. However after trying to put this code in various events such as, On Open, On Got Focous, On Activation, ... i didnt get the result i wanted!
Can any1 please help me out with this. I would be really grateful!
PS. The buttons appearing on the form are placed on the frmMain, I did that to see if it appears on the main form but they must be in subfrm_Search!
The database is attached!
Thanks, Maisam

I sent a post earlier today about making a label visible in a subform! I am still working on it but still no progress!
I have a different scenario (its the same thing but trying to explain the method i'm working on):
I have one main form (frmMain) that contains 3 subforms, say subfrm1, subfrm2 and subfrm3. On Open only 1 is visible and 2 and 3 are invisible (however they are open and loaded).
By choosing an option on 1 subfrm2 becomes available! When choosing an option on subfrm1 a boolean called 'XXX' is set to true. Now i want one particular label to become visible in subfrm2 if 'XXX' is true! To do this i need to write a code to be executed when subfrm2 is appears on screen! The problem is this form is already open so how and on which event of subfrm2 can i write the code???
At the moment i'm trying to refresh subfrm2 (by using code in subfrm1) and I have placed my code on the On Load event of subfrm2. I thought this way the form will reload and the On Loand event will pick up the new value for boolean XXX and set the label to visible! Thats the idea anyway... here is the code i have in subfrm1:
XXX = True
Forms![frmMain].subfrm2.Form.Refresh
subfrm1.Visible = False
subfrm2.Visible = True
I'm not sure if refreshing the subform will result in On Load event to be executed! And i'm not even sure that the code for refreshing subfrm2 is correct. Can any1 help me with this?
I have attached the actual database on my previous post sent today, if you prefer to look at the whole thing and get a feel of the problem!

;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
Thanks

I am not sure where to post this so could someone please move it to the appropriate area thanks.
I want to make a graph that will show how many employees are in the company for each year (Going back 10 years and keeping up to date) I have never done this before and our teacher feels that its best if we learn on our own (basicaly he's an idiot).
How do I go about using the pivot chart?
I have made a query which adds up the total number of employees at the current time.. but apart from that I havent a clue. I want the graph to have the years on the bottom and numbers up the side (1,2,3,4,5 etc) and then the number of employees that were in the company during that year will be plotted.
I will use a table that is to be used for archiving to mke the query as it will have all the employees who were ever in the system record.
The table is thus:
Employee_ID
Emp_First_Name
Emp_Surname
Age
Emp_Home_Number
Emp_Mobile_Number
Emp_Address_1
(so on and including postcode)
Date_Started
Position_ID
I have no idea what to do other than to rename the axes and change the increments, but they are jsut numbers, no dates or anything.
Any help apreciated.

Hi!
I have a table called "products"
One column is "Unitary Price", another one is "Quantity" and another one is "Tax"
And I want another column called "Total" that shows:
Unitary Price*Quantity+Tax*Price*Quantity
Is this possible to be made?? :( I'm a bit newbie to MS Access, so try to explain as most detailed as you can! For example, if I have to write [Unitary Price] between brackets... I tried doing this on the "Default Value" field of the column but I couldn't make it.
Thank you!!

A 2 3
B 4 6
C 2 5
D 3 5
E 2 3
How can I leave row 1 out? So that the query will look like:
11 19

hi,
i'm trying to create a form for data input. When creating a new record, I want to make a field, "Date," to read from the last record and use that value as the default value. This way, I don't have to input the same date in every time I make a new record. How would I do this? Thanks =)

I need two reports made but I don't know the programming. The first report comes from a table that has contact numbers and their scan times. Their number comes from one column and their times come from another column in a table that i have. the time comes in this format 6/11/2007 3:46:40 AM. One report I need is those who just scaned in for that certain day. The second report is one to take their times and calculate how long they were scanned in per day, and per week. Is there any such way to do this and how would I.

Good evening,
I am trying to use VBA to address a field in three different subforms on a form. When I am in the VBA environment writing the code, I noticed that only two of the subforms are listed in the Project window on the upper left. I ignored that and wrote the code anyway, and when I execute the code, it works fine for the two subforms in the Project window, but when it gets to the third subform, it throws this error:
"MS Office Access can't find the field '|' referred to in your expression."
The code is this:
Private Sub Test_Number_AfterUpdate()
[Form_Consumables Entry].Test_Number.DefaultValue = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value
[Form_Squawk Entry].Test_Number.DefaultValue = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value
[Form_Event Log Entry].Test_Number.Value = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value
End Sub
Can anyone tell me how to make all of my forms available to VBA?
Thanks!

I am looking to design a simple stock database for work. This is just an idea at the moment, unless I can get my head round this problem.
I have throught that I can have 3 tables
NEW STOCK(this is where you enter all new and existing stock is)
USED STOCK(this is where all the stock that has been sold used for whatever reason is entered)
ACTUAL STOCK(this is where the items in NEW STOCK have the items sold in USED STOCK deducted from them to give you the ACTUAL STOCK)
PLEASE HELP ME, am I completely on the wrong line or can I do this?
Would be good if I didnt have to use SQL, VBA etc...

I posted this in the wrong thread yesterday
I just started learning Access and I have created a database with 53 records, 3 tables and 1 Split form. I creared a new yes/no field and I am attempting to display "Completed" in green for yes and "Not Completed" in red for no. I used the correct code in the format field:
"Not Completed "[Red];" Completed "[Green]
This worked for different field before I created the split form but now I cannot get the new field to display anything but check boxes regardless of what code I use. It won't even let me use the default yes/no, true/false or on/off options.
I've been studying this for about 2 weeks and I've figured out quite a bit but this one thing is really iritating me....
Help
Any comments would be appreciated

Hi!
I'm working on a Access 2003 mdb file. I want the database to start commonly without any user-login screen.
Nevertheless I want to prevent the default logged in user from making any changes to the database structure, using the tables and examing the VBA code.
Because of some strange guidelines I have to respect those changes have to be directly made to the mdb file itself (if possible) so no additional worgroup file is created.
Is it possible to realize it that way?
Thanks!
