Mousewheel Block On Subform Only (for Fussy Users)
Sep 23, 2005
The Return of the dreaded mousewheel! I have used the fab Search option on this topic, but I feel I have some requirements that prohibit me using some of the options available. I need to allow its use for navigation of the mainform, but totally block it on the subforms, but with lots of conditions!
The database in question is NOT mine, and it's already built. If it were one of mine, I'd simply block the darn thing entirely or adopt some of the example databases I found (ghudsons was the kind of data verification I can dig, and a few in A97 format were good too).
I have to cater for workmates that are strangly fussy, rather lazy and totally unappreciative of order. Who would have though enforcing uniform entry of dates from 20 different ways (I counted) to one way, was such a contentious issue? OR, a BAD idea? Sigh.
As a result, I cannot be seen to have done ANYTHING to its function. So, I cannot have:
*Any form of "save" each record or blocks or anything like that
*Any form of validation boxes or message boxes popping up
*No dlls (if possible)
*In a nutshell, no extra effort - Type 'n' go - it has to be a secret
*And, I can't block the mousewheel from scrolling through personnel in the mainform.
I have to eliminate the RAMPANT creation of duplicate subentries (like, you're still on the one record in the main form, but if you're not paying attention and wheel in the subform, you flick over to the new row and type, and POW).
Am I dreaming? Is there some easy solution in form setup that I'm overlooking? (the problems of self-education, you are often unaware of some of the simplest little options). I aplogize if this solution has been presented before on the board, but it is likely I didn't not understand what I saw properly, or I felt it wasn't quite what I wanted. Thanks very much.
I am creating a 2 level report to confirm an order. Main report already created, runs successfully called as subform/subreport under "OrderDetails" form. Linked to master using Order.ID. There are two versions of the confirmation report that have different layouts for different program types.
The hangup comes when I try to add a "Class Dates" subreport. It lists dates of individual classes and Skip dates. I have created the subreport as "srClassDates". When I add it to the main report, it lists the records. However, when I try to link it to the Main report, an error message box appears with the "object variable or With block variable not set".
I have tried rebuilding both the main and subreports, rebuilt the query, have not found anything that changes the result.
Linker has been working successfully on other subforms. Report with groupings works fine, but I need data from 2 tables both linked to order.id.
How can I force the wheel (found on some mouses) to scroll down a page and not cycle through records? I tried to change the Cycle property to Current Record Only, but that still allows going to another new record if users are already entering a new record.
Got a small problem. I got a big Access-form (big of size) but a small computerscreen before me. I am very much used to scroll up and down with my mousewheel.
However, when I open my file and the opening-form pops up I cannot scroll up-and-down the form using my mousewheel.
Is there a VBA-code or whatsoever which can enable the mousewheel???
I tried to find the answer in earlier discussions, but I found only discussions where the topic was about disabling the mousewheel. I want to ENable it.
So whenever I scroll through my report it will repaint all of the graphs and other stuff on each scroll event. Its pretty fast, but it still looks pretty bad. My only guess is that there are enough graphs on there that its handling too much data, but its just a guess.
I am a self taught beginner in Access applications, so excuse my lack of expertise and terminology. From reading through this forum, I realize how far I have to go. I am not a techy by any means.
My question: I have a database that keeps track of the delinquent taxes for our Town. One of the reports is set up from 2 queries, then 2 related tables (beginning balances and payments made). The query calculates the balance of each account based on the beginning balance minus the payments made, and returns a report which shows each account balance, and then another query returns a report showing the total balance of all the accounts due for the date the report is generated.
I am wondering if there is a way to generate the balances due on a previous date. For example today is July 13, and I want to know what the balances were on July 1. Both tables have a date field- beginning balance has a start date, and the payments table has the dates of any payments.
What is the condition or how should I write a VB code to block the command go to last empty record? I have a form which has three buttons : Go to Previous Record, Go to Next Record and Add New Record. If I add a new record, and I press "Go to Next Record" well, it goes to the next empty record this means it does the same job as the "Go to Add New Record" button. How can I stop this happen?
I hope someone can help me. I have a report that prints out with the customers social security number on it. I need to change it so that only the last four digits of the SSN show, so it would like something like this XXX-XX-1234. I still want it to keep the full SSN in my Table though so we can search for the customers info with the SSN.
Is there a way that I can change it on the report only and not mess up any other forms that I have it on? Any help would be awesome!
I have a form for all my clients, and currently there's a separate field for each part of the address. This does not make it easy to cut and paste an entire address block. I therefore created an unbound text box with the control source as:
This works ok, but if someone doesn't have anything in the fields [Pref1] or [Pref2] it leaves blank lines. Is there a way to code it so that I can have a complete address block? Thank you.
I need to export a table as a text file but using the outputto or transfer text options do not produce the file format I want. If I export the file as Excel and then save it as text it's OK so I copied the following code to automate the procedure but get an error 'Object variable or With block variable not set.
I have the below code that seemed to work until I tried to add the Loop to it. Now, every time it gets to the piece of the loop with the words Cells.Find, I get an error stating "With Block or Variable not set". I don't understand what the problem is. There is no "With Block" and the variable is set. How can I get this to work?

I Have a table votes where a user is able to vote for a specific campaign, when the user votes his username and the date and time is logged in the table votes.
After the user voted he is logged out, then displaying the login form for the next user.
At the login form I want to check if a user already voted and if so he should not be able to login again. How can you do this ?
The database has to be handled by a web service and/or a web appliction making the comma delimited option occupy more server time breaking down the string into usable user_ID's. But (and this is probably my actual problem) if i was to impliment my second idea, I'm not sure what I should make the tables primary key or the best way to relate it to the main user table.
My initial thought is to just have a, technicaly useless, ID be the primary key and impliment a one(User) to many(friends entries) relationship... but im a bit of an access n00b so thought i better come ask for some advice.
Please help. one of my table is confidential data and I don't want people from opening from the table. Can I block people from opening but people who has password can only access this information.
eg. please see my enclosed attachment file and the table is cost. I don;t want people to see the data by click the table filename.

I have a table which has a primary key of 3 fields. Each individual fields is defined with duplicates OK but I want to block a record being added where the primary key value exists already. How can this be done - the way I have set up the database Access does not automatically stop this as I thought it might. Do I need somw vb also??
Hi, in some application I have made using a switchboard after starting up, I saw that when the user holds the shift button, this switchboard does not show up automatically. How can i fix it that the user cannot interfere holding this button?
My database contains business names and addresses in separate fields (name, address, city, zip code, state, country)
Now I have to build the address block for labels.
If there were just US addresses it would be easy but a business can be located in any country with the problem being that countries require the block to be build in a specific way (order of city, state, zip code).
In some cases a particular section has to be upper case as well.
Of course I can build it manually in a memo field but the with chance of something easily going wrong I like to automate it.
It does mean the same info will be stored twice which is basically a no no.
I'm thinking of making a separate table with records for all possible layouts and use those as a source for a memo field in the business table. However I can't oversee if that would work alright or not.
Or should there be a way to generate the blocks on the fly?
I have a form that has four textboxes, date dropdown box and a date box. I am trying to get the form to do the following: Block user from writing in the textboxes if they have not selected a date in the date box.
Get the datebox to look at the behide screens records to see if there has already been a documented date (duplicate date) and inform the user that this date has already been used. Then auto them to the date dropdown.
I have some code that will run if I am populating an empty table(no duplication's possible) but now I am trying to create a Sub to check for existence of a record and handling it going forward.
Anyways the big picture is looping through a text file and placing data where it needs to go. The code follows including some comments point to the issue.
Code: Sub PutinNewTag(TableIn As String, Tagtype As String, textline As String) Dim strSQL As String Dim NameIn As String Dim TagName As String Dim Db As DAO.Database Dim rstin As DAO.Recordset
If I have an MS Access frontend that connects to an MS Access backend, is there a way to hide/permission block the pathway to the backend's folder but still allow access via the frontend db?
Right now I can't dedicate a server to a more "secure" form of DB or anything like that so I'm stuck with MS Access for now. I just don't want someone looking at, say, a link table path and then navigating to that folder and getting access to backend information.
I have the following dataset in a table called NR_PVO_120. How do i pick out a number (which can change but let's say, 6) of UNIQUE OtherIDs without excluding any OtherIDs under any fax numbers?
So, if you pick OtherID from Row7 you then also must pick OtherIDs from rows 8 and 9 because they have the same fax number. Basically, once you pick an OtherID you're then obligated to pick all OtherIDs that have the same fax number as the one you picked.
If the number requested (6 for this example) isn't possible then "the closest number possible but not exceeding" would be the rule.
For example, if you take OtherIDs from rows 1-10 you will get 6 unique OtherIDs but row 10 shares a fax with rows 11 and 12. You either need to take all 3 (but that will raise the unique count to 8, which isn't acceptable) or skip this OtherID and find one with a fax that has no other OtherIDs and that isn't on the result set already. My result of 6 UNIQUE OtherIDs will need to contain ALL OtherIDs under any fax the existing OtherIDs are connected to.
So one solution is to take rows 1-6, 26. Another is to take rows 1-4,10-14.
There will be many possibilities (the real dataset has tens of thousands of rows and the number of people requested will be around 10K), as long all OtherIDs connected to all faxes on the result set are part of the requested number (6 in this case) any combination would do.
A few notes.
1.Getting as close as possible to the requested number is a requirement.
2.Some OtherIDs will have a blank fax, they should only be included as a last resort (not enough OtherIDs for the requested number).
This is for a fax campaign, we need to make sure no fax number is faxed twice, that all people connected to that fax number are contacted under one fax sent.
