Memo Field - How To Stop Highlighting In Field

Aug 7, 2006

when i change records, my subform that has a memo field, shows the memo field data is "highlighted". i can make a mistake and hit any keyboard key and the memo field data will get erased.

is there a way to prevent such a problem?

if not, is there a work around. eg, hide the memo field until needed for more input? ideas on both issues?

General :: Highlighting Particular Text From Nearby Field To Adjacent Field

Nov 4, 2013

I am having a database in access and i want to highlight particular text from nearby column to the next column. For example,

--GCCCAGGCCCAAGAATGTCGCCGT GGAGGACTGTCTGTACATCAACGTGTTCGTGCCACGGCCCAGGCCCAAGAATGTCGCCGTCATGCTGT
GGATCTTCGGGGGTGGCTTCTGACAAGCTATTGTGTTCGAAT ACACTGATT
--CGAATGAACGCTGTCCCTTCCACTGCTGGCAACATGCTCCCAGCCTTCGACAATGGCCCTCAATTCGA
GGACTGGTTT CAACGAATGAACGCTGTCCCTTCCACTGCTGGAACTTCCGACTCCTTGTTGCCTAGAATGTCGCCGTCATGC

The first column text it should take as query and then it should only search the adjacent cell and highlight that. While searching in the internet i came across a code also, But i dont know whether i can use that code or not.

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Search]
(
@searchTerm nvarchar(100),
@style nvarchar(100) = 'font-weight:bold; background-color:yellow',
@maxLen INT = 100

[code]....

Forms :: When Highlighting The Notes / It Appears That You Are Highlighting Correct Text

Jun 12, 2015

We have a bunch of notes that are stored in a database. The program looks for the notes that are relevant to each order, and it adds them one by one to a textbox.In some instances, when highlighting the notes (as certain parts of them are copied by the user) it appears that you are highlighting the correct text, but when the text is copied and pasted, different text was copied to the clipboard (usually a string that is offset a couple characters).

I can't post an image (I haven't posted enough), but highlighting everything in the text box selects what appears to be blank space. I wish I could show you. Maybe I'll get to the needed number of posts and be able to attach the screencap.

Converting A Text Field To A Memo Field

Jan 4, 2006

I am in the process of changing over a text field to a memo field to generate more space (in 5 different databases :eek: ) Thanks to all the good info on several searches of this forum, I am pretty clear on how to do that.

The question is... when I convert a field that already has information in it, will I lose the current information?

TIA,

Darnys

How To Stop A Form From Closing After Validating A Field

Jun 12, 2006

Hi,
I've got a close button on my form as follows:
Private Sub exitForm_Click()
DoCmd.Close
End Sub

In the beforeupdate event of the form I have have following code to validate the forms fields:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Place an asterisk (*) in the Tag Property of the text boxes you wish to validate.
'Then in the BeforeUpdate Event of the form, copy/paste the following:


Dim msg As String, Style As Integer, Title As String
Dim nl As String, ctl As Control


nl = vbNewLine & vbNewLine

For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
If ctl.Tag = "*" And Trim(ctl & "") = "" Then
msg = "Data Required for '" & ctl.Name & "' field!" & nl & _
"You can't save this record until this data is provided!" & nl & _
"Enter the data and try again . . . "
Style = vbCritical + vbOKOnly
Title = "Required Data..."
MsgBox msg, Style, Title
ctl.SetFocus
Cancel = True
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

This validation works fine up to a point. If I try to close the form and a required field is empty, I get a message box asking me to fill in the data. The problem is that when I click ok to the message, it shuts down the form, so I have to re-enter all the data again. My question is how do I prevent the form from closing after clicking ok on the message box?

appreciate your help:)

Access Stop From Increasing Size Of A Key Field

Jul 24, 2013

Access stops me from increasing the size of a key field

Table tTrades
. Key field: idTrade: auto-number
. Field: Code: Text 10 characters

Table tData
. Key field: Code: Text 10 characters

I get an error message when I try to change either of these Code fields from size 10 to 16 characters

Error message - you cannot change the data type of field size. It is part of one or more relationships. Te change the data type of this field, first delete its relationships in the relationships window.

I deleted all relationships in the relationships window. But I still get the same error message.

If I click on relationship window > "All realtionships", Access reproduces all my relationships in the relationship window. Somehow it knows them. I deleted them all again and saved. But I still get the same error message.

I have a form ftTrades which generates automatically when I click on table tTrade and create a form.

I deleted this form ftTrades. But I still get the same error message.

How I can increase the size of this field.

Modules & VBA :: ASCII And Sendkeys - Put Full Stop In The Field

Jan 15, 2015

I have a Combo box which contains a set of numbers divided by "."

e.g.: 1.342567.24433

When looking for a certain code, I would like to use the number pad to enter the first few e.g. 1.34 to move to the Position. In Previous Versions of Access I had a function on the key

If KeyAscii = 44 Then
DoCmd.CancelEvent 'stop the comma keypress being updated
SendKeys ".", True 'put a full stop in the field
End If

This worked fine, but in Access 7 and up, it turns off the number lock.

Is there an alternative to sendkeys to achieve the above or a way of directly turning the number lock on again?

Text Vs. Memo Field

Jul 28, 2005

Are there any other advantages in using a text field verses a memo field other than memory allocation? Memory allocation seems like such a small issue these days.

Memo Field Length

Mar 26, 2007

Hello,

If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long.
I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars.
Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?

1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.

2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel.
Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?

Thanks in advance

Nico

Query A Memo Field

May 31, 2005

Greetings All -

Let me say first I am a novice Access user, just trying to teach myself a few things to make my job easier. So take it easy on me with any feedback.

This is my situation. I am using a web based help desk ticketing software that has an Access DB. I have created a couple of queries and linked them together that seem to be working and giving me the data that I want with one exception.

I am tring to query a memo field, which is the description of a ticket, and the output is only a small portion of what is actually entered in to the table. Is there a way either in my query or report builder to make a change that will output all of the data from the description field?

A couple of things that I've tried on my own are to change the data type for that field from memo to text, however that that puts limits on the amount of data that can be entered in and causes the help desk software to function incorrectly. I've also turned on Can Grow and Can Shrink for the text box for the output in my form.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Jason

Memo Field Limitations

Mar 26, 2005

I have a form with a memo field. This field is based on a table with a field set as a memo data type. The problem is that although the form field lets you type endlessly, it only saves 255 characters. A memo field is supposed to let you enter up to 64000 characters. Has anyone else ever had this problem, if so what was the solution?

Memo Field Punctuation

Jun 8, 2005

I have a form set up where user's type in an explanation of how a claim is being appealed and resolved in a memo field.

One problem, for some reason management doesn't want these explanations to end with a period. But the users keep ignoring our request and keep using the period.

Is there a way that you can code this memo field to where it will allow punctuation throughout, except at the end?

Memo Field Error

Nov 14, 2005

I'm using an append query to add a new record from a form.
The form has a text box and the contents get entered into a Memo field in the database. When I put more than 100 chars in the textbox and try to save to the database I get an "Invalid Argument" error.

If I use less than 100 chars then it appends fine. The error doesn't come from the textbox, I can put over 100 caracters in that, the error comes from the Append process.

In the append query I use this string.
Expr13: [forms]![additem].[description]

additem is the form
description is the textbox field.

Thanks for the help
Dwayne

Automatically Add New Memo Field

Jun 27, 2011

My boss has been asking me to create forms in which he can add new records at any time. He has different review cycles for each company he owns (either monthly, quarterly, or annually). I have a form called "REVIEWS" where my boss wants to be able to add a memo with a time stamp each time the review cycle is updated.

How can I use the "addNew" function so that a new memo text box appears in the form each time the review cycle is completed? My boss wants to be able to see each of his notes for each time he reviews a company so I want to be able to keep the old memos as well.
