Missing Datasheet Font Selectors
Jul 12, 2006I replied to a post about this already, but it was in the wrong section.
As you see in the screenshot, I'm having a weird problem.
I have tried re-installing Access but it didn't help. Any ideas?

Forms :: Formatting Datasheet Font Sizes (Access 2010)
Sep 18, 2013Using Access 2010, I have a subform in datasheet view and I want to set the font size to 10pt. Setting font sizes for datasheet fields in the Format tab does not change the font size displayed.
I understand that the font size can be set using VBA (for example: Me.DatasheetFontHeight=10). Where do I put this code for it to work in a) a single datasheet b) all datasheets in the db?
Missing Columns In Datasheet View
Aug 12, 2009I was working on my database and opened one of my tables in datasheet view and noticed that I was missing some columns. I switced to design view and all of the fields are there. So, why doesn't datasheet view show all of my columns (fields)? Is there a setting somewhere that hides them?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFont Type In Form Changes When Change Font Colour
Aug 1, 2014I am experiencing a problem in MS Access 2013. I have a form which was working just fine until now. It has form labels in Calibri font and their font colour is one shade lighter than black. Today, I changed the font colour of the form labels to be Automatic - black (shows as 'Text 1' colour in the form properties). I did this in Design view.
I find that when I switch to layout view, the font of the labels appears as Century Gothic. This is the font that appears in the Form view. So while the font colour is correctly changed, the font name is not what I had set in the Design view. When I go back to the Design view, and change the font colour back to the original colour which was one shade lighter than black (Text 1, Lighter 50%), the font is correct in the Layout view and the Form view (Calibri).
So it seems that there is some sort of binding between the font colour (black) and the font name (Century Gothic). When I change the font colour, the font also changes. When I restore the original colour (one shade lighter than black), the font Calibri is correctly retained.
Forms :: Record Selectors - Quick Scroll Option No Longer Available?
May 13, 2015I have recently updated several forms from Access 2003 to 2010.
On the old version I could 'hold down' the forward or backward pointers to quickly scroll through the individual records. Now I have to click each individual record to move one at a time.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting or is the quick scroll option no longer available?
Missing Records (and Missing Updates)
Oct 7, 2005Hi all
This is an ongoing problem I have had for 4 weeks now.
I have made a a system thats acts like a clock In/clock out Out system.
the structure is somthing like this
ID
Username
tblDailyLog
TimeIn
MorningBreakOut
MorningBreakOut
LunchOut
LunchIn
AfternoonOut
AfternoonIn
TimeOut
All fields apart from ID (autonumber) and username (String*255) are Date field (there are a few others like DateOfTimesheet etc but they arnt important here)
When a user arrives in the morning they make a record which they use for the day
They then have a form with a whole bunch of buttons which simply updates the correct field. For example they click the "Sign in for the Day" button and it updates the correct field with the current time.
Everything was going fine until people noticed that every now and again a sign in time dissapeared.
I have hacked myself to death trying to solve this problem but still the updates go Astray.
Now each time a time is updated the process goes somthing like this
1. the user opens their timesheet for the day (the RS is SNAPSHOT and no locks)
2. User Hits a sign in/out button
3. The record source is changed to "" and all buttons hidden (to ensure the record isnt locked and to make sure you dont do two things at once)
3. The table is updated with the new time (using some dynamic SQL)
4. The table is repeatadly checked using a DO loop to make sure the the correct time went in.
5. when the returned time value of the field matches the varaible used to update it, the form is returned to normal and the user carries on his/her merry way (if it never matches the screen should crash but this never happens).
6. A New record is added to another table called "tblbugfixinglog" which records which field was updated and when. This is so that I have two records in two different ways (figured if one went astray I could pull it back off the other)
7. Another new record is added to yet another table called tblSQLRecord, which simply logs all .RUNSQL statements that are executed.
I thought that the two extra tables (and the check that the record had been updated) would help me track down where the records are going missing, but this isnt the case.
Now it appears that some records arnt being added to tblBugFixingLog and to tblSQLRecord either and some of these tables are getting quite a few #ERROR's in them..
None of the tables are related to any other and i've no idea how #ERROR lines are appearing in a table that has 1 function... to recieve new records ... no editing, no viewing, no deleting.
Does anyone have any idea how these updates/inserts can go missing or create #ERRORs.
I've built plenty of Databases in my time and have never come across this.
__________________________________________________ ______________
This is the function I use to add a record to tblBugfixingLog and tblSQLRecord
Private Sub AddBugLog(ByVal TimesheetNumber As Long, ByVal FieldUpdating As String, ByVal NewFieldValue)
Dim TempSQL As String
TempSQL = "INSERT INTO tblBugFixingLog (TimeAndDateOfEntrySERVER,TimeAndDateOfEntryPC,Fie ldUpdated,NewEntry,UserID,TimesheetNumber,Computer AssetNo) VALUES (" & _
"#" & Format(ServerGetTime(Environ$("LOGONSERVER"))) & "#," & _
"#" & Now & "#," & _
"'" & FieldUpdating & "'," & _
"'" & NewFieldValue & "'," & _
"'" & GetNTUser & "'," & _
"'" & TimesheetNumber & "'," & _
"'" & fOSMachineName & "')"
' MsgBox TempSQL
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblSQLRecord (Username,DateAndTime,Screen,TheSQL) VALUES('" & LoginInfo.sUsername & "','" & CStr(Now) & "','Add Bug Log function','" & CleanData(TempSQL) & "')", False
'CleanData is a function that removes ' and " from the SQL string so i can easily add the SQL string into the table
DoCmd.RunSQL TempSQL, False
End Sub
Public Function CleanData(ByVal DataToClean As String)
Dim TempData As String
Dim i As Integer
TempData = ""
For i = 1 To Len(DataToClean)
Select Case Mid(DataToClean, i, 1)
Case "'"
TempData = TempData & "`"
Case """"
TempData = TempData & "`"
Case Else
TempData = TempData & Mid(DataToClean, i, 1)
End Select
Next i
CleanData = TempData
End Function
__________________________________________________ ____
I have no idea how this can create #ERROR lines in the table when it is just added to and nothing else.
Does anyone have any clue to what may be happening here.
(Oh yeah and no matter how hard I try, I can't replicate the problem.... works for me every time no matter how harse I am to it!)
Please save what little hair I have left and give me some hope
Cheers

Table Datasheet Vs Form Datasheet
Oct 4, 2004I'm new to this.
Is there a way to make a Form Datasheet (including calculated cells) update the corresponding Table Datasheet?
Outline Font
Jul 25, 2006I think I already know what the answer is going to be, but is there a way of putting an outline around the text on a form so it stand out.
The problem I have is that I have our company Logo as the background and I want the font colour to be consistent. It is white, however there is a small area on the backround which is white. This causes the text to be unreadable.
I don't want to put a box around the field or change the background of the text box, or the colour of the text (Due to the look and feel of the form).
Does anyone know if this is possible.

Showing Changes With Font Color
May 26, 2005I did some searching on changing the color of a font if you change the data. I found a few posts but they really don't fit the need.
I am using a continuous form (which makes this even more difficult) and when someone changes data in a field I want that forecolor to change from black to red.
Is there an easy way (I know not everything is easy) :) in the conditional formatting to create an event? I am thinking not but thought I would ask.
My GUESS is that I need some sort of temp table to verify the data against then return with the forecolor change.
I am using A2k.
Thanks RichB
Tab Control Box - Font Color
Oct 5, 2005I believe thats the proper word for it. Attached is a screenshot of a section of the database that I have started working on. It is to track placement for a college. Its my first ever and I am fairly good at making things look good, but as far as function - I am terrible.
I can change the raised box that the tab control sits on to a dark maroon when someone has a felony (so it notifies the user of this status)
Private Sub Form_Current()
If [Felony] = True Then
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(159, 19, 44)
Else
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(208, 207, 202)
End If
End Sub
I also have this done on After_Update.
I am trying to change the font on the Tab Control to Red when this occurs as well (only change the 'Criminal History CONFIDENTIAL' to red). I can not find this option anywhere, is this something that has been done or CAN be done?

Reports :: How To Change Font Name
Feb 28, 2015Is it possible to conditionally change a font name? Report field is set for Wingdings 2 so I can print a check mark if underlying value is true. Wanting to change back to calibri to print "X" if not true. Haven't been able change it in an if statement. A macro setvalue fieldname.fontname to "calibri" throws type mismatch error. Setproperty choices don't include fontname.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow To Set Font To Small Caps Using VBA
Jan 18, 2014My client wants a company name that appears on multiple forms and reports to show as font name Garamond which is fine... however, he also want the font to appear as "Small caps". In Word and Outlook, under the Font submenu, I can check Small caps and get what he wants... lower case letters are shown as Small capital letters. Is there a way I can make the same settings on labels in Access without installing a new font on each workstation that runs the database.
View 3 Replies View RelatedBarcode Font With Mail Merge
Jul 13, 2006I am using a special font called Interleaved 2of5. You have to have macros enabled and the font package installed to get this font package to work. I have everything working perfect, I can print reports directly out of Access with the bar code perfect.
Here is my question:
Can anyone figure out how to get this to work in a query?
We have a couple mail merge documents set up in Word and I would like this same bar code to be at the top of the page.
I cannot find a way to get the BarCode to work in a query, only the report. I do not know if this is possible. Here is a sample database that comes with the program.
Change The Font Colour For The Whole Form?
Jan 17, 2006I've been working on a database for quite a while now, and i've now given it out for testing, and i've come across a little problem. One of the users is colour blind, and the colour theme i've used throughout this database is causing him problems.
I have a function that can single him out when he logs in, question is, is there a way i can change the font colour for the whole database in one go through code??
I have around 12 forms with many controls and labels, i'm kind of hoping i don't have to name each control and label separately to change the font colour.
Please tell me that there’s some clever piece of code that can change the font colour on a form in one hit…..

Data Showing In Wrong Font
Sep 21, 2006Hi all,
I have a couple of subforms on one particular PC where the data is showing in some strange font, WingDings or something like that. On my PC the data shows correctly.
Please see screenshot here: http://www.confetti.ie/screenshot1.jpg
I tried changing the Font Name for all the controls in the subform to common fonts Arial, Times etc but it still shows as WingDings.
I also tried changing the default font under Edit > Options to common fonts with no change. In the Options I tried changing font options on the Datasheet and Tables/Queries tab.
Thanks

An Access Font That Supports Subscript?
Apr 5, 2006Is there a font that comes installed by default in access(windows) that supports subscript? My subscript in access is showing up as a box. If I change it to a font that I have installed/purchased seperate from windows it gets displayed properly. The problem with this, is when it pulls this info displayed in that font to the website, it reverts it to a font that the user doesn't have installed and goes back to a box.
So need a default windows xp font installed in access/windows that supports subscript....
Thanks in advance!

On a form I have a combo box - let's call it cmboSickness. it has two options "flu" and "malaria". On the same form I have two command buttons - one ehich opens a malaria form and one which opens a flu form. If I select flu then I want the words on the flu command button to change to red. How do I do this and where do I put the code?
I have tried -
If me.cmbosickness=flu then
cmdflu.color=255
but this doesn't work...
Forms :: Toggle Box That Changes Color Font?
Aug 2, 2013I created a form that has about 200 fields and all the fields are utilized at a point depending on the work order assigned to us. I wanted to know if it's possible to put like a toggle box or a check box etc. next to the field so if it is checked it would be in a Dark color and the ones not utilized are in a shade of gray. All the fields are coming from the same table. Another thing it's an estimate worksheet so a row would have something like, Labor, QTY, HRs, Overtime, total as columns, so I would want a check box to have control over those but one for each row, EX contractor, locksmith.
View 3 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Controlling Font Within A String
Jul 20, 2015I have spent the better half of the afternoon researching how to accomplish controlling a bold font in a string I am building and sending to Excel.
Code:
' set text for safety hazards and controls
Concretetxt = "Concrete Demolition & vbCrLf & Hazards - dust, flying debris and skin Irritation. & vbCrLf & Control - Respirator, goggles, gloves, inspect equipment prior to use."
Excavationtxt = "Excavations & vbCrLf & Hazards - Damage to underground wires, collapse, falling materials/equipment. & vbCrLf & Control - Ensure utilities have been marked and hand dig when in close proximity, shore properly, Keep clear when lowering materials."
This is a sample of how the strings will build. I will select a task like Concrete Demolition and string it together with other tasks I would like "Concrete Demolition" in bold with the blurb following it then the next task would follow with a bold heading.
My thought is now that it may be easier to control by putting this data into a table instead of building the strings.
