I found a post where it shows how to create a single collapsable/expandable section. I am needing to do this for 10 sections with a lot of information in between each section. The coding that this post provides does not seem doable for that many sections. How to create a collapsable/expandable subform?
View RepliesI'm making an accounts package, the user creates job reports every time they complete a job. The user then creates an invoice which contains the information from a job report.Any one invoice can contain information from multiple job reports.There is a field called J_InvoiceNumber in the job reports table and field called I_InvoiceNumber in the Invoices table. A particular job report is linked to a invoice by using the same number in J_InvoiceNumber as was in I_InvoiceNumber. let me give you an example:
JobReport1, JobReport2 and Jobreport3 all have "1" in their J_InvoiceNumber Field
Jobreport4 has "2" in it's J_InvoiceNumber field.
so now Invoice1 which has "1" in it's I_InvoiceNumber field has 3 job reports and Invoice2 which has "2" in it's I_InvoiceNumber field has 1 job report.This works for presenting the information for each invoice in a Access Report but now I'm trying to make a table view just to see all the invoices and job reports in a big list.
The problem is that using a query presents me with the same information duplicated. So in the example the query would display I_InvoiceNumber as "1" for jobreport1 then a new record showing I_InvoiceNumber as "1" for jobreport2 and then another new record for jobreport3 again showing I_InvoiceNumber as "1".
What I want is for I_InvoiceNumber to be displayed once and then prehaps a expanding tree showing all the job reports sharing this number in their J_InvoiceNumber field.
Hello,
I have not used access that much, but what I am looking to do is basically have 2 details sections within a report that will have different records in them.
I first used a subreport but that really did not work as intended. It left large gaps in between the records and just plain didnt work.
Here is a image of what I am trying to achieve:

As you can see theres two different sections. One is for regular campaigns and one is for extended campains. There is a field in the table that has the extended date. For the compaigns that field should be blank or null and for the extended campaigns it is not blank or null.
Is there anyway to achieve this in Access 2003, if so can you tell me or describe me the steps?
Thank you!
I have quite a limited knowledge of MS Access (2007).
My question is; How do you use sections of one table in other tables?
For example: In tbl_One I input a users Name and Age and then say Weight, Height, BMI, etc.
Then in tbl_Two it uses the same Name and Age in tbl_1 but has other information such as Job, Skills etc.
This is not my actual database, however this analogy works, and they must be in separate tables, even though above they could all just be in a single table.
Hi,
I need to create a report for each employee in my company of all compensation information. The report is going to need to have multiple detail sections on the report for example to list all benefits specific to the employee and all beneficiaries.
I tried using a subreport to produce those detail sections that I needed but once I placed this subreport inside a box on the main report each detail I created increased the size of the box. I also thought about making the detail section a list box and writing all of the information there. Would there be a better or easy way to accomplish this?
I am also thinking I am going to have to save all of this information in a table and based the report on that table?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm working on a scheduling system for my fathers company that automates some redundant tasks. Most importantly the system manages the order of processes on different parts (ie, part "tubes" may be cut, then drilled, then welded, then shipped).
I'm trying to create a form that allows for the editing and viewing of all the parts and the processes for each part for a specific work Order. Ideally the information that applies to all the parts (Work order Number, due date etc) would appear at the top of the form with all of the processes to appear beneath (Separated into groups - all the parts to be welded shown together). My problem with using sub forms for this was that I need all the records to be shown without scrolling. Is there a way to dynamically change the size of each Subform to match the required size, or is there a better feature to use?
I'd like to expand me tree view automatically when a node matches a string variable from a table. In other words, when a node in a tree matches the given name (variable), the tree will expand all the way down to that name. I guess I need to use "For each node" and when the node and variable match, the tree structure will show up.
I have come up with something like this:
Code:
For Each nd In Me.tree.Nodes
If nd = level1 Then
nd.Child.EnsureVisible
Exit For
End If
Next nd
Me.tree.SetFocus
But this only shows the first level of my tree ( btw. I have a 3 level tree). I get lost inside the FOR when I want to make use of another two variables - level2 and level 3
I created a form with a ListBox and a Command Button. The users selects the values in the listbox and then click the button to create word documents. I've written VBA code to accomplish this. But it's not working properly. It opens multiple word documents but all for the same one.
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Dim appWord As Object
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strPathToTemplateFile As String
Dim strPathToProspectiveFile As String
Dim strPreferredFileName As String
For Each varItem In Me.List0.ItemsSelected

I am looking for a way to enable a user to fill in a number of fields on a form press a button(CreateButton) and duplicate the records how ever many times is stated in a text box(TxtQty). I also need this to increase the serial number by the amount of times stated in the text box.
There will need to be another text box (TxtNextSerialNumber) stating the next first available serial number
For Example:
TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00010
TxtQty = 5
Press CreateButton to create 5 records
TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00014
5 new records created with the below fields duplicated and the above happening.
I will then need a message box informing the user of the serial numbers created:
'You have created serial numbers AD-Oracle-00010 to AD-Oracle-00014'
Table Name: ADOracle
Form Name: ADOracleTestData
Fields Names:
CustomerName: Duplicate
PartNumber: Duplicate
OrderNumber: Duplicate
OrderDate: Duplicate
HoseKit: Duplicate
Returns: Duplicate
Comments: Duplicate
SerialNumber: + the amount shown in TxtQty starting on next serial number available.
I have some code that takes from a query, an email address and sends out an email.Due the security warning that happens for each individual email, i want to create ONE email for all email address in the query and populate them to the BCC section of the sendobject.Here is the code that I currently use
Code:
Private Sub cmdSendEmail_Click()
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset
Dim sToName As String
Dim sSubject As String
Dim sMessageBody As String
[code]...
I want to populate the BCC field with multiple emails addresses seperated by ":" and send just one email.
I work for a company that manufactures home appliances & electronics. When those products fail within the warranty period, we are obligated to repair the units for the customers.
We have around 200 factory technicians who make those repairs. Each tech is able to make approximately 8 repairs each day. We have a dispatching system that assigns the repairs to the techs based on their availability each day. But the problem is that we have to manually enter and adjust the schedule for all 200 techs every single day, and this takes a lot of time. And of course technicians get sick, take vacation, etc, so we have to adjust the schedule so no techs will be assigned calls when they're off.
The problem: For example, currently when a technician takes off for 2 weeks, the user has to enter 14 individual records for the tech, which is somewhat time consuming. What I need is to program a button click event to determine the two dates (startDate & endDate) and append multiple records from one single entry in the form for each date in between and including the two date fields.
I know I'll probably need to create a loop that will loop through the two dates on the form and append a record for each day, so I can then cross reference the dates to the master schedule dates to make sure that no availability is opened for the techs taking time off.
I'm using Access 2007.
So far I have a Multi Select enabled list on which the user selects the serial numbers they want. They then click the "Report" button which will trigger a query based on the selected serial numbers to create a report on those serial numbers.
I have the code for the multi-select list working already. It creates a string of comma separated values that are the serial numbers which are selected in the list. Somehow I need to pass this string to my query so it can use it as a filter.
Here is some of my code:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim oItem As Variant
Dim bFound As Boolean
[Code] ....
Here's my current query in SQL:
Then finally how to I get the query to execute and create a report based on all of this?
Hi all,
I am trying to add some more professional touches to a DB to get away from the whole '8-bit' feel that Access seems to have.
I would like to have a form that displays information and pops-up during a mouse over event. This is no problem.
What I am trying to achieve is an effect - that the form 'grows' making it appear to pop-up from nowhere, and then shrinks when the control loses the focus.
Just wandering if anyone has tried to achieve this and can offer any advice?
Thanks
Robert
This will be a tricky one!
I have a bill of materials screen, where my operators will input parts that they require for a job
From this they have the ability to click on the part number they require to check if there is stock available in our stores
This will open the warehouse screen which is set as a continuous form.
The structure of the warehouse records is 1 line per batch. Each batch can contain multiple qtys.
I.e Part Number - JF5650 could show Qty: 50
When the operator goes into this screen i have given them the opportunity to reserve a some or all of the existing stock qty from a batch to a work order. They can do this by selecting the work order in a reserved combo box, and by typing a qty to reserve to the qty reserved text box.
Hopefully this is all making sense so far. Everything i have explained above works fine.
My problem is,
Many different work orders may require stock of the same part, my current setup does not allow the batch line to reserve against more than 1 work order.
Can anyone think of a way around this? At the moment i am playing on the idea of creating a seperate table for reservations linked by warehouse record which will allow the multiple lines but bringing that into a continuous form still has me thinking.
Adding multiple reservation and qty boxes is not an option. And i don't really want to change design to much as this db has 80 odd forms all doing there bit.
Thanks AOG (if i make any progress i'll keep this thread updated)
Morning all,
I'm having a problem with mdb file size. I'm importing a large amount of data from a number of tab delimited text files via a simple transfertext function. The process goes: empty the tables in the database, then import the data into the tables.
All this works fine, but the file size rockets to over 1.5Gb. When I then compact and repair, it goes down to 420Mb. I'm not deleting and recreating the tables, and at no point is there 1.5Gb worth of real data, so what's causing this?
N.B. I realise I can call compact and repair following the import, but this is going to take too long as they are user-initiated imports.
I have a switchboard form with a left menu bar similar to windows explore wi
th three sections (Configure, Tasks, Print)
How can I have each section collapsible like in window explore?
Can it be done through the VBA scripting in MS Access? If so can someone pro
vided examples?
Basically I divided each section to three parts
one part is the header which is an image and a label (name of section)
the second part is the button to click to hide/show the context of the secti
on
the third part is the text (labels that open other forms) with a background
image
something like this

Please let me know, thanks a lot.
Hi there,
I'm trying to do a new membership database for a local group who take monetary subscriptions.
Basically, there's a form for creating a new member, with a few tabs - Contact Info, Payment Info, and one other.
Basically, in the payment tab, i've got a dropo down box to select the individual package from a packages table, another to select the payment term (Monthly, Annually), and a final one to select the payment method.
Now in there i've got a list of possible payment methods: Cash, Cheque, Credit/Debit Card, Direct Debit.
Now obviouslly, each payment method is going to have different requirememnts for what info the club actually needs. Cash simply needs amount of payment and date of payment. Cheque needs payment amount, payment date, cheque details. Card is obviously going to need the CC number, Valid & Expiry Date, Card Type, CCV Number, etc.
So basically, i want to be able to have the relevant section display when that payment method is selected from the Payment Method drop-down box.
What's the easiet way of doing this? Could i create another tab-set inside the payment tab, and then only display the one tab relevant to the selected method?
Cheers

Request from the higher ups to have several expandable sections in a form. Ideally only the title of the section would show, like when using a DAP, then the user could click and expand out the section and enter data. I tried the Tab option, but they are set on an expansion section.
Any tips on how to make this happen?
Any way I can add more sections to my form? For example right now I have a section named "Header", "Detail" and "Footer". Can I add my own?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm curious if anyone know's a way to access a specific data section on a tabular form. I'm attempting to have each section update a specific data item based on its position on the form, but am having problems since I do not know how to differentiate between one details section and another on the form. Any help would be appreciated.

Using Access XP
I have a continuous form that shows the main fields in my table. In the page footer of the form I have a tab control that has 4 additional fields for each record. I want to give the user the option of “Show Details”. When the user clicks on “show details” I want to move the tab control with the additional fields to the detail row so the user can see them.
I know how to move controls with VBA by setting the Top and Left properties and how to expand the detail size, but how do I move controls from one section on the form to another section on the form i.e. from the page footer to the detail section
I have many reports that are structured differently, many are grouped by semester.
What I do now, is put a button on each grouping of the report I want to email from and use the current semester (Sem) which is also a query parameter to filter the report.
Here is my current code which works fine:
Sub EmailFromReport(rpt As Report, Optional Sem As Variant)
Dim db As Database
Dim qry As QueryDef
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim Bcc As String
Dim Subject As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qry = CurrentDb.QueryDefs(rpt.RecordSource)
'set query parameters
[code]....
The problem is, I need to be able to filter these queries on other criteria besides the semester.
My first idea was to use if statements to skip the records I don't want. This is messy and the report structures are different so I run into issues when using optional parameters because not all the reports are structured the same.
The best solution I have come up with so far is using a wherefilter parameter, stripping the semi colon off the querydef sql and surrounding the sql with a qrydef.SQL = "SELECT Email1, Email2 FROM (" qrydef.SQL ") WHERE " & wherefilter.
The problem is this, changes the original query, and I can't figure out how to copy a query with db.CreateQueryDef If i do db.CreateQueryDef("tempqry",qrydefSQL), I lose the query parameters.
Is there a better way to do this? If this is the best way, how do you take an existing query and make a copy of it?
I have a database with a list of clients. One field is for their date of birth.
I have to report on equality and need to know how many clients we have within the following age groups:
16 - 24
25 - 34
35 - 44
45 - 54
55 - 64
65+
I have looked through the group and sort functions and cannot see anything obvious.
i have a production database application in which there are many sections. every section's product stock is generated by running a complex query.
now when i want to add the result from different sections into a one combined stock , i could not design the query as it become too large and on running it produces the error "cannot open anymore database".
i think reason might be too many queries executing at same time .
so do i need to create a table from the stock queries of each section? and then add the tables to generate the combined stock query ?
