Modules & VBA :: Use Text Box Change Event To Determine Form Format
Sep 23, 2013
Had a combobox so the user could choose between two data entry formats.They don't want the combobox, they want the user to enter data into one or the other textbox - and that choice to trigger the format.Two groups of text box - group 1 has a single text box - group 2 has three text box. When the user selects a text box and types the first character into it. This triggers locking out the other group choice and enables the <Validate and Edit> command button.
If the user backs out (deletes) the text in a text box.It basically makes both groups available again and it disables the <Validate and Edit> command button.Basically, if the text box Change event counts a character, it changes the text box Tag to "Bust". Then it calls a common routine that checks both text boxes.The choice won't take place if the textbox gets focus. It changes if a text box has 1 or more character typed in.
Code:
Sub WhosOnFirst()
' two groups of Required field - if one textbox in a group has a character entered first
' that group becomes the Format - enables the <Validate and Accept> button that will take the next setp

Currently I have an issue where on of the fields in a userForm will not update. I have tracked down the problem to an update Event procedure
Code:
Private Sub txtRate_Change()
Me.txtSales = Me.txtRate * Me.txtPages
Me.txtGST = Me.txtSales * 0.1
Me.txtTotal_Inv = Me.txtSales + Me.txtGST
End Sub
The idea being, when you update the rate, the Sales/Revenue figure will update based on that rate. For a while this seemed to work fine. but recently , it just will not allow me to update the field txtRate, I cannot understand why. I have now replaced the _Change() event for a _LostFocus() event. but I am not sure that is as reliable, and I am still puzzled / worried as to why the _Change event will not work.I'm on Access 2013, win 7 , using a front end db connected to the back end using linked tables.

I currently use code in a module and code on each form in the on_load event to change the icon of the form.. the code i use is as follows..
in a module:
Code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_SETICON = &H80
Private Const IMAGE_ICON = 1
Private Const LR_LOADFROMFILE = &H10
Private Const SM_CXSMICON As Long = 49
Private Const SM_CYSMICON As Long = 50
[Code] ....
And on each form on load:
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, "k: est directoryhsicon.ico"
What I am wondering is would it be possible to store the .ico file within the DB file itself (i know access can store bitmaps) and reference the .ico in the form load event code?
Overtime the db file will probably move to its own dedicated storage so using a direct reference to the file wont work..
I have tried the following but get an error (it tries to reference the .ico file as to being in the root directory of the db file)
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, Left(CurrentDb.Name, Len(CurrentDb.Name) - Len(Dir(CurrentDb.Name))) & "hsicon.ico"

Using Access 2007, can I return a value for CurrentProject.FileFormat WITHOUT opening the database?
I'm looking for a way to determine the file version of a given Access database without actually "opening" the database in Access (I don't want it to ever be visible at all or in any way).
So to open a database in Access 2007 "without opening it," I'm using:
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:Path-ToFile.accdb")
From here, there are at least two different "version" indicators that can be used, as in this example:
Code:
Debug.Print db.Properties("Version").Value
Debug.Print db.Properties("AccessVersion").Value
Now, if you run this code on an Access 2002/2003 .MDB file, you will get:
Code:
4.0
09.50
If you run this code on an Access 2007 .ACCDB file, you get:
Code:
12.0
09.50
Note two important factors:The db.Properties("Version") seems to be returning the JET version from what I can see in research. This is NOT what I'm after.
The db.Properties("AccessVersion") returns THE SAME VALUE for an '07 ACCDB as it does for an '02-'03 MDB, since Microsoft never updated it, apparently.
Now.... the one way that I have found that ACCURATELY describes the version of a given access database file is to use:
Code:
Debug.Print CurrentProject.FileFormat
...as this will always return, for example, 2.0 for an Access 2.0 .MDB file; 10 for an Access 2002/03 .MDB file; and 12 for and Access 2007 .ACCDB file (and there are others; these are AcFileFormat bitmask constants as described in Access support).
BUT, this CurrentProject object doesn't seem to be available (so far as I can see) when using the "open without opening" method described above.
SO, is there any way to return the FileFormat value without opening the database visibly? (Merely basing it in the extension isn't right either.... that would be easy but not accurate as several formats use MDB.

I was wondering if you can call a textboxes onExit event from another form? On my form a user enters a search criteria into a text box and when they exit the textbox the results are displayed in a listbox. This form is a subform on my main form. I want to be able to call this onExit method from the main form. Is that possible? When I put in txtSearchBox_Exit, I got an error saying Sub or Function not defined.

I have some code for a button on click event to open a form and select the record which corresponds to a value in an unbound text box. The code is:
Private Sub Command25_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmOpenPatientRecord"
[Code] ....
This works fine when I put in a 10 digit NHS number but opens a blank record when I enter a four digit or six character/digit PatientNumber. Both patient number and NHS number are text fields in the underlying table.

I made an On Change Procedure on a textbox, so everytime I input a character, it will trigger the Me.Requery.
However, after that the event, the mouse cursor moved to the beginning of other field. I want it to stay at the end of the textbox so I can enter a full word, how do I do that?
Code:
Private Sub Text73_Change()
ProjectSearch = Me.Text73
Me.Filter = "[Project Name] Like " & Chr(34) & ProjectSearch & "*" & Chr(34)
Me.FilterOn=True
Me.Requery
End Sub

I came into a database where the forms have checkboxes connected to table fields that are in text data type. I see that when the checkbox is checked, the value in the field is still -1 in the table. Is there a reason to change these fields to Yes/No data type or just keep them as they are? Are there limitations or problems to having Yes/No values (-1) in a text field?

I have a continuous form with a text field that says "Select". There are two other fields, one of which is Brand. When the Brand Combo box has nothing in it I want the text box to appear (instructing the user to select a Brand) But once the user selects a Brand and goes to the next records, I would like the "Select" in only that record to become not visible. I tried conditional formatting but can't apply that to an unbound control ( or at least it is grayed out when I select the text box) and any other possible solutions I have found changes all of the selects - not only the one in the changed record.

I'm working on a bit of code that before a combobox is changed checks with the user to confirm that they want the change to go ahead, if yes a recorded is added to a table
This all work fine apart from if no is selected - I am trying to get the combobox to undo the change however when you select no the msgbox pops up fine but the combobox does not undo
Can't see where I'm going wrong I thought undo worked for comboboxes
Code:
' Displays a message box with the yes and no options.
Response = MsgBox(prompt:="Do you wish to change the status of this Job? 'Yes' or 'No'.", Buttons:=vbYesNo)
' If Yes button selected
If Response = vbYes Then

I have a combo box with three columns, the first one is the bound one, the second is text in English, and the third is text in Spanish. Currently when the form is open, both the English and Spanish texts columns are visible. What I would like to do is set up a command button on a different form that will open the form with just the English showing in the combo boxes, and another button for Spanish. I've tried the following code which opens the form, but the combo box is disabled altogether.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditar", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.SetProperty "niv_gest", acPropertyColumnWidths, "0;1;1"
What am I missing?

I have three tables for an event registration database based on Microsoft’s Event Registration template. The main tables are “Attendees”, “Registrations” and “Events”. “Registrations” is a swing table. Is there any way of creating a query to determine which attendees have not registered for a specific event? I have included a graphic of the table layout. I sure would appreciate some help on this. Thanks.

I am trying to write a code that will execute at the change even of the combobox/Listbox and when a character is typed in it then all the data from "DocumentType" field whose first character matches with the first character typed in Combo/Listbox will be stored in it.
The following code doesn't work:
Private Sub ComboBox4_Change()
Dim strText, strFind As String
strText = Me.ComboBox4.Text
If Len(Trim(strText)) > 0 Then
strFind = "BarcodeRef like '" & strText & "*'"
End If

I have a field (AR#) that has an "on change" event. This is supposed to check through the database and see if that number has been here before (it's like a job # / serial #). It had always worked fine - now suddenly this field, and this field only, reacts VERY, VERY slowly when you type a number in. You can type the number and wait about 5 seconds for it to show up. When I removed the event - it acted normally so I think it has to do with that. Here's the vb for the event:
Private Sub AR__Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim Rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strAR As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
strAR = Me.AR_.Text
Set Rst = db.OpenRecordset("repairs", dbOpenDynaset)
Rst.FindFirst "[AR#] = '" & strAR & "'"
If Rst.NoMatch Then
Else
MsgBox ("This value it is already in the system !")
End If
End Sub
Any ideas why it's reacting so slow or what I should look for?

I'm working on a report called Open Orders and when the database loads, it takes you to a Navigation Form. You make some selections mostly from combo boxes, then click run report which runs a query then launches the report.
I want the user to be able to click a check box called "Ready Only". If the checkbox = True, then I would like the field "Ready Pieces" in the query to have the criteria ">0". If the checkbox = false, I want that field to show all values (*).
I have no problem setting the criteria of a query field to equal that of a combo box value (Warehouse Like ([Forms]![Process Form]![Warehouse] & "*") but have problems when the criteria isn't the exact same as the value of the control.
Things I have tried to no avail: Putting a Iif statement in the query criteria: gives an error that criteria is too complex Creating an invisible text box whose value is determined by the checkbox to ">0" or "" then basing the Ready Pieces criteria equal to this....doesn't work Trying to use the DoCmd.RunSQL with my SQL code that changes via VBA when the checkbox is changed...Get an error and the SQL doesn't run

I have a simple query and I want to export it in excel, Comma Separated Value., .CSV
I tried to run DoCmd.TransferText but all of my attempts were futile.
I found it, I must export it as TXT and file suffix insert .csv instead of .txt and it works
Now can I execute this "Saved Exports" through a macro or docmd ?
I insert a picture just to make it more clear.

I have set the format of a text box (named: scrILS) to percentage. It shows on the form as 0.00%
When I try to run calculations off of it like: = [scrILS]*[totBuysFYDP1], it throws this error: #TYPE!
It seems as though the textbox is keeping it as text for the percent sign "%" is preventing any calculations against it... here's the strange part... it doesn't happen initially when I open the form... the calculations work and I get no error, but I have code that recalculates everything based on values picked in a list box... on the requery I get the error.
When I look at the watch frame for that control it shows the scrILS value as:
"00.0%" not 00.0%... any thoughts on this?
I attempted to just take the thing as a string and use a replace function against the "%" then calculating... that works, but then the initial form load throws the error.
Seems like I am missing something in the property settings, but I don't know what. Is there something that forces the format value, setting percentage as a number vs. text?... I thought that was just part of the format setting...no?

I had the need every so often to quickly find all instances of any (particular) word within the database, without going to the bother of thinking about where that word/subject might be in the data base, I designed a report which does the job nicely. It uses a search form/control, searches and finds all instances of the word (or words) I have asked it to find, then does a report showing all instances of whatever RTF memo fields that contain the word(s).It has to be RTF memo field because (if I wish) it goes straight into the book text I'm writing, and also it searches the book's RTF memo field.
.
The trouble is, at present, I then have to manually "eye scan" the resulting report to find the occurrences of the "key searched for" word, nestling/hidden somewhere within sometimes quite large chunks of text. I would love to have the report show the found "key word(s)" highlighted in (say) light blue or whatever colour, so that I can quickly & easily lock on to it visually.
I enter the word I want Access to find, into a form called "formfindword" in a text box called Text0. I click on a command box on this form, to open up the report called "Querywhatsandhowschooseword" based on a query of the same name. The query's "what" field (from the main database) has the criteria
= Like "*" and [forms]![Formfindword]![Text0] & "*"
The query's "how" field criteria (in the "or" line of the query design) is also
= Like "*" & [forms]![Formfindword]![Text0] & "*"
I have tried to use the Conditional Format facility in Report Layout view, without any luck.I think therefore that I will need some VBA code (which is totally foreign to me, unfortunately) to make this simple concept a reality.

I have two tables in a query joined by a ID field. The problem is in the one table the ID fiels is a text format and in the other table its a number format so the query builder doesnt like that and gives me the Type mismatch in expression error.
There's no way around it though; i need it to be those formats in its respective tables for reasons i wont go into here for simplicity.

To facilitate input of special graphic characters such as the degree C and plus-and-minus symbols, I would like to use Alt-1 to Alt-9 key combinations, capture these keys in a KeyDown event procedure and change the keystroke to the desired graphical character code. I am using Access 2010 on Win7.
I first attempted to change the Shift integer to zero to reset the Alt-bit and set KeyCode to the desired character code, but this does not work. Hence I try to use the second common method of setting KeyCode to zero and use SendKeys to VBA-input the desired graphic character. However, strange things happens.
The test code is as follows:
Code:
Private Sub TestTB_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Dim i As Long
If (Shift And acAltMask) <> 0 And KeyCode <> 18 Then
' For i = 1 To 20000000 this For-loop is initially commented out
' Next i
[code]....
The above code as it is works OK and the '#' is successfully inputted to the TextBox field.However, if I comment out the MsgBox statement, the program waits for about 0.3 second and then instantly fills up the entire TextBox field by a large number of '#' characters.
If I move the MsgBox statement to after the SendKeys, no '#' character is inputted to the TextBox.If I comment out the MsgBox statement and activate the For loop at the looping count amount (but not much less), the program works fine.

I'm about to connect my DB to word. So I made a form where the user has to choose what entry to export. The data is inserted in a word file in different bookmarks. But there is one special task to insert the rich text so in this case the html formatted text is displayed like this:
Code:
<html><div>asdf</div></html>
My Text is inserted like this:
Code:
wdApp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("-Bookmarkname-").Range.Text = Lrs("-ColumnName-")
Lrs is a Recordset.
So how is it possible to display the html code right in the Word doc?

I have the following code which works perfectly BUT I want to be able to add another line of text if users enable a checkbox. I have tried everything I can think of but can't get it to work. When using an "IF check150" statement it just adds the extra text in regardless of selection or not.
Code:
Function Mail_Radio_Outlook6(activedoc As String)
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String
Dim acc_req As String
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
[Code] ....
This is fine most of the time but If a user ticks check150 I want to add another paragraph.
Do I use an IF statement, if so in what format? is it a separate function etc?
I am slowly getting more familiar with Access but still come unstuck on the simplest of things at times.

I'm using Access 2010. I'm passing a string into the OpenArgs of my report - works fine. In the report there are 3 rich text fields which may contain the text I passed in, and if so I want to change the color of that text to red so it stands out.
The value passed to the report changes so I'll need to use VBA in the detail's format section to check each of the 3 rich text fields.
