Moving Instructions In Unbound Text Box On The Form
Oct 9, 2005
I need to display some of the insruction lines in unbound / bound text box that will gradually moves up.
Example :
"This multiuser client server db is licenced to "ABC & Co.". This sofrware is to reduce cost of production and it increases speed of your production process more...."
These instruction lines may be arojnd 10-15 lines. I need to display it as non-stop moving up text massages on the main form once the data base is opened.
I have set an on click for a combo box to update a text box, the problem is the textbox lags and doesnt display the right information in the box until i either click onto the text box or refresh the screen..I only have one event procedure attached to the combo box
Private Sub Combo24_Click() Me.TruckNumID = Me.Combo24.Column(0) End Sub
I have several subforms with the same functions however this one is the only one that does this
My database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
I am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.
I have a form in which user will enter few values but I need users to enter the comment in relevant text box too only if they have any non zero value.
I have attached an example for reference....where red encircled portion is for values and blue is for relevant comments. If value is non zero then user should be enforced to enter the comment too......system should not allow user to move forward or backward until there is some comment.
I am trying to troubleshoot a form and I am at wits end with it. :eek: I hope someone can help me.
There is a form whose record source is based on a query. When it opens it loads all the records. At the bottom of the form, there is an unbound text box that is used as a filter. The person is suppose to be able to type something in there and then once the cmd button is pressed it filters bases on the value of that text box. That appears to work fine.
The problem is, when the form loads, the unbound text box is locked. It does not allow anyone to type in it.
I checked form properties and also the text box property and it is not locked. I have added code on the getFocus, OnLoad, OnUpdate..ect, to make the properties of that text box unlock it self. I have had no success with that.
I did notice that after the form loads and I hit Design view and then change back to Form view, the text box is unlocked and allows typing. :confused:
Why then does it allow editing, but not on initial load. Any help would be wonderful. If further explanation is necessary, please ask.
As a part of reducing traffic on file server, I am planning to read less record on the form and hence I tried removing forms record source. (Attached sample db)
I kept all unbound textboxes onto the forms and save new record to the table using codes back of the command button. This is working great with main form. But doesn’t with sub form. I tried removing record source of sub form and keeping unbound text boxes to appear record if it exists.
If you enter 1 in InvNum text box on main form, you will find it brings record. I don’t want to show the record on the sub form unless I call it from main form.
How can I use the same trick of unbound text boxes with sub form too?
I have a table here tblTemp with a field client. This table can have from 1 to 100 records at times as it keeps getting cleared for the purpose of this exercise.
I also have a form frmLabel1Data with an unbound text box txtclient.
I was hoping to get the first record of the table into this text box upon opening the form.
I tried creating a query which gave me the following sql;
SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;
I also tried placing it in this code with no luck
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SQL
SQL = "SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;" MsgBox SQL
End Sub
Does anyone know why I cannot see the same result as when I open the query it gives me my client name but the code above does not????
Am not getting a value from a form text box when using in the criteria line in my query. Am referencing like [Forms]![FormName]![FormLabelName]. If I copy the data in the form and paste it into the query, it works fine, but if I just reference the form, I get no results.
We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0) Dim sPath As String sPath = "G:Temp.html" Open sPath For Output As 1 Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>" Close #1 What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
Is there a way to add a validation rule in an access form on an unbound text box. This box is currently doing a calculation of others. If the figure is not between 0 And 0.3125 then I do not want the user to be able to move on. For some reason if I enter "Between 0 And 0.3125" in the validation rule it doesn't seem to do anything. I can only assume its because its an unbound text box. Data attached please see Frm_Input and text box total standard hours.
I created an unbound text box on a form that automatically pulls the current logged in user by using this:
Private Sub Txtuser_Click() Me.Txtuser = Environ("Username")
The form grabbs the logged in user with no problems, however, I ultimately want this information to also end up in my table. So the form has three boxes (to keep it simple). The user will type their first name and last name manually on the form which the record source is this "table" where their name goes to the table last name =Field 1 and first name=Field 2 respectively. I want the unbound box from the form to place the logged in user in Field 3 for the current record.
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 have a form with 1 unbound listbox as drop down list (entypolst), an unbound text box(entypotxt) and a command button. The list box reads items from a table. I want to change a value (text) on listbox, input a text on textbox so pressing the button add a new record in a table (Table1 fields Category,Product) showing in my form as subform (SFTable1) in datasheet view. For that reason a made the following code:
Code: Private Sub AddBtn_Click() Dim ans As Integer Dim strSQL As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim ctl As Control
[code]....
I take the error msg for 0 items selected in listbox and exit the sub.
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 have five text boxes with a separate box for the date that automatically inserts when I enter something in the text box. Is it possible to have it set up to only allow me to enter information in the first box and at a later date when I enter more info in, automatically move everything down to the next box, and so fourth. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I am not sure if this is something simple in the box properties, or if I need code.
Hi, I have a form set up, among other fields in the form is a Weekly update free form field. I have another field called Historical Weekly updates. What I want to happen is that when a user clicks in the Weekly update field, the text that is in there should pop down to the Historical field and have the date post for the move next to the text in the historical field. I don't know if this is a click action, if its' a macro or if it's even possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I've saved a SQL instructions file from Oracle's Querry Builder. I was wondering if it was possible in any way to import those instructions into a Ms Access query ?
I've created a data entry form w/ 7 fields.... [f1], [f2], [f3], [f4], [f5], [f6] are bound to a table. While [f7] is unbound and has Nz function.
Now, the value of [f7] is the summation of [f1] to [f5], i want that what ever value is generated by [f7] will be stored on [f6] in both forms and table...
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure] Private Sub imagename_Click() Me.imagename = Me.FileName End Sub
I have an Access form that is tied to a recordset. When I Set Focus on 1 text box in particular, I move the caret with the keyboard arrows left-right, and the caret moves and flashes on top of the text characters, basically overlaps the character. When I then try to delete or edit the text, it moves the caret by itself to a different location in the text box and starts adding the text to that location. When I finally get the text how I want it, I set focus on another control, and it occasionally deletes random characters in the text box.
The only way I have been able to work around this is to copy and paste the current text into Notepad, edit it there, and then paste it back into the text box.
I'm new at this, but here goes. I have a memobox on a form that I set the DefaultValue to display instructions for what to enter in the memobox. I would like these instructions to be visible until the user clicks or tabs into the box. Then I would like these instructions to disappear when the user begins to type something in. I've tried using several different event scenarios, but none does exactly what I want. I don't want to use a control tip as it won't appear until the user actually enters the memobox and I want the instructions to be visible before that time. However, this is what I've done at this point because I haven't been able to fiqure out how else to do what I want to do.
Any help would be appreciated; I'm sure this is something very simple for all of you, but I've spent several hours trying to work my way through this.
Thanks, Charlotte
P.S. I've read many of the posts, and have gathered many helpful tips on a variety of Access topics. Thanks to all of you out there!
