Hi,
I have a text box where users input a person name as it appears on their bank account. This text box can only take alpha characters and no numbers or other characters except the "&" sign.
Please can some one help in to how i can mask this text box to only take text and nothing else, not even a combination of text and numbers can be accepted, please help!
Thanks in advanced!
Would anyone know if it is possible to mask and input box with a password mask (*****)
my code is simple:
StrPswd = InputBox("Enter Password", "ENTER PASSWORD")
I was trying to mask the entry in ****** when the user enters the password.
Any ideas ??
Thanks
Hi Gurus.. :D
Need some wisdom.. ;) I got code behind buttons on my main switchboard form to enable passwords on the buttons.. I use the following code...
Private Sub Option2_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Option2_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim Password1
Password1 = InputBox("Please Type the Password", "Password Prompt")
If Password1 = "password" Then
stDocName = "Main Form"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Else
End If
Exit Sub
Exit_Option2_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Option2_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Option2_Click
End Sub
My issue is that I need to mask the password, I know if it can be done by other methods, such as creating an inputbox on main form and setting the input mask property to Password and useing the button to make this visible.. etc.. However, a little bit of a mess.. the above code is simple and straight forward.. Is there any VB code that I can enter for an input mask for the inputbox :confused:
Hope you can help.. Thanks.. :D
I have a form based on a table where social security numbers are entered. I would like to enter a social security number on the form and once it's entered the first 5 digits are masked. When I go to the table I would like to see the complete social security number displayed. Is this possible? Can the control source on the form be formatted to hide the existing social security numbers as well so they don't have to be rekeyed with the new format?
Thank you in advance:cool:
Is it possible to mask data in a report? I have a report that contains a field for an ID number. Depending upon who is receiving the report only a partial ID number can be shown.
Example: Instead of showing ID#: 123456 the report can only show ***456.
I have the following expression as part of the recordsource for a report:
Is it possible to put a mask on the output of [phone1]? Ideally something like: (716) 555-5555 x1234
Code : phone1: [ContactNo1] & " " & [ContactNo1_ext]

In my form's text box I have noticed that I can;t write paragraphs ie use the TAB key to start a new line. If I use rich text I assume this will be possible. But are there any disadvantages to using rich text?

In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.

I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a column which contains "text digit text" as "AAA 222 BBB". The numbers of letters or digits can vary.
I need to SELECT the column which contains digits in a specific interval. For Example I have
"DFS 673 JKK"
"A 3454 LJLJ"
"SD 854 JKLJD"
I need to SELECT the column which contains 600 < Digit < 700 the result of the query in this case would be "DFS 673 JKK" because 673 is between 600 and 700.
Thanx for any clue or suggestion...
I have a form on which there is a series of text box controls relating to different frequencies. At the moment I enter a value in to each of these manually.
However, I would like to have an unbound text box where I can paste in all the values (6 or 8 of them) from excel and then press a button and they would be copied in to the individual boxes.
So far I have my design:
I'm not sure where to start with regard to the code as I don't know how to handle delimited text - is it column delimited in excel?
I imagine some sort of loop, such as a do until will be required but again not sure.
I am using Access 2007 and 2010. I would like a text box (or label) on a report to autofil using fixed text from a label on a different (closed) form.

I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well.

Is there code for such thing in display form?..
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
Is there a way to make just part of the text in a text box bold, or to use different font sizes in the same text box?
Something like this:
---------------------------------
Heading in bold: description in regular (not bold)
(a smaller height line used as a line space)
Another "normal" line
a larger height line
a normal line....all in one text box!
---------------------------------
One thing I'd like to be able to do is to specify the line height of a blank line in a text box. I'm using carriage returns created with: Chr(13) & Chr(10). I could see defining the font size of a hidden character, but I'd need to know how to assign a font size to a piece of the text in a font box.
I am trying to search on EmployeeID field and populate corresponding data like EmployeeName, EmployeePay in other text boxes in the same box .

In my table EMPLOYEE i have three fields
EmpID -- Autonumber

how can i disable a textfield or two in a form when the textbox is unchecked also how do i add a default value for it while the textbox itself is disabled, can i get away with it by adding a default value on the textbox?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out at what point an error message occurs while a database is closing. This problem only occurs if someone clicks on the red close button on the top right of the screen when there are several forms open. If the user exists normally there is NO problem.
I am attempting to use the print statement to write to a text file to track what is happening as the database shuts down. Unfortunately, the open (print) statement, when issued, zaps any prior contents which precludes having a full printed record. I am hoping for a print syntax that would allow appending.
Code:
Open "ErrorReport.txt" for Output as #1
Appended text to the file to show what is happening in that event.
Close #1
The program, in closing, does stop with an error message that a certain file can't be found. But when I click on debug, the program simply closes. I have also commented out VBA references to the file that can't be found, but the error still persists .
I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If
Hi all,
I have a text source file and inpul layout i.e. field names start and end positions in excel file. I want create a table in access from the text data using excel file layout.
Can you please help me out in this. I am a mainframe programer and recieved an request to work in access.
I have a report that lists incidents for a specific day (reference number, a brief description and a few other fields). There is also an additional notes field, which I would like to be viewable from within the report.
For example, as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the brief description text box. Or displayed in a textbox on the right (I don't want one textbox per line though, but instead a single re-usable textbox). Or a more information button/link that shows a "popup" containing the additional notes. I don't want to exit out of the current report, but stay within it.
I have tried to achieve this with a tooltip, but in fact even when I manually typed in a tooltip on the control's properties it wasn't displayed when I hovered over the text box.A pop-up or floating textbox would be preferable.
I have a form that is displaying a subform (of which source is a query). I have got the data from one of the columns in the subform going into a text box (entered in the control source) however when the field is empty it comes with a #Error in the textbox.I want the textbox is display some text is the subform value is null.
