Reports :: Fixing Report Height And Width
Sep 6, 2013How to fix the height and width of a report. I would like the report to stay landscape, 100mm wide, 62mm high. This is required by a label printer.
The issue is that a A4 laser printer has to be set as default (for other software) so when the report is launched the size is set to the default printer size, when I select the label printer it fails as it is the wrong size.
Reports :: Adjust Section Width To Avoid Blank Pages
Nov 18, 2014I have set up a report in Access. However, when I look at it in print preview, I get the message that the section width is greater than the page width, and that some pages will be blank. It is obvious that the Detail Section is the issue, but I can't figure out how to reduce the section width. The detail section only contains a few text boxes that are well within the margins of the other sections.
How do I adjust the section width so there won't be any blank pages?
Override AutoNumber
Nov 9, 2006Hi all.
I have inherited a database which contains a table of tasks and where the TaskID is an autonumber. Quite a bit of code has been written that refers to specific values but unfortunately one of those is not contained within the table (for background the reference is 10 and where the current value is now 1683).
So, I want to add TaskID 10 but of course I cant be specific about that value. If I change the field to be just a number, I can add the record but then of course Access won't allow me to change it back to AutoNumber.
Any ideas?

Override Required Fields
Aug 30, 2007Well guys, I don't know if this is possible or not, but maybe someone can guide me in the right path.
I have a data entry form that several employees use. I have certain required fields that are set on the form level. I have couple employees that I would like to have the ability to override these fields. I was thinking like using F10 key or other key combinations that will allow them to override the required fields in order to save the record.
Is this something realistic that I can accomplish in access, and if so, does anyone have a sample that can help me with this task? Thanks to all.
Override Event With Function Key
Nov 26, 2005I am attempting to duplicate a feature of some software I use in my office. Been pretty easy so far because this software is built on Access. So here it is...... I have fields with names, job names in this case. Call it "JobDescription" MOST times I will want proper case, so I put ........Private Sub JobDescription_AfterUpdate()[JobDescription] = StrConv([JobDescription], vbProperCase)End SubThat works fine. But there are times you want to override this code.... The program I am imitating does this by using the "F10" key to move to the next field instead of the tab key. My question is what code to put on the F10 key to skip the "vbProperCase" code??

Override Form Allow Edits With Code??
Oct 20, 2004Greeting,
I am still struggling with my sub-form.
Have managed to prevent edit by using the form properties.
However I have some fields which have to be updated after the form has been closed.
I tried putting the following code in the (Before Update Event) of date issued field for instance.
If Me![DateIssued]=Null then
Me![DateIssued].Locked=False
end if
Needless to say this didn't help.
I have some fields which cannot be filled in until a later date.
These are job records so I have date open, Technician name date completed plus a whole herd of other stuff which has to be filled in as the job progresses.
Any help will be most appreciated,
Brian.

Forms :: Override Default Date Value
Jun 6, 2013I am developing a customers and orders database for a coffee sales company. I have, of course, a tblOrders that contains the fields 'OrderDate' and 'CallBackDate'. The 'CallBackDate', in most cases, should be 14 days from the 'OrderDate' and self-populate as a default value based on the 'OrderDate'. No problem with the concept there.
I originally wrote the following expression as the control source of the 'CallBackDate':[OrderDate]+14
Yes, works beautifully, populates field just as it should. However, if, for some reason, they want the 'CallBackDate' to be more than 14 days, you can't override and type in your own date.
I have also tried making the control source the 'CallBackDate' field and the default value [OrderDate]+14, but then it doesn't default, only leaves the field open for manual entry. I need to be able to somehow do this within Access. Text fields will allow you to override a default value.
Modules & VBA :: Ignore / Override Form Ribbon Created For Users
Jan 27, 2014I have created a ribbon for the users on all forms, and named that ribbon on each form. While I can bypass the Main ribbon (hiding backstage and most other tabs) by holding the shift key on open, the minute I open a form I am stuck with the very limited form ribbon I've named. Is there a programmatic way I can ignore this call, either when holding the shift key or some other avenue?
View 14 Replies View RelatedForms :: Make Command Button Override Required Fields Focus?
Sep 18, 2014I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?

Length & Width
Dec 2, 2005I've notice a situation in a few databases. One is where we track sidewalk construction. There are two called fields LENGTH and WIDTH. In my report I have text box with the control source =[Length]*[Width]. However it returns some bogus number. If I change the field names to something else like Width1, it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Importing From XML. Field Width Issue.
Apr 26, 2007We are importing data from XML files manually to an access Database.
The imported tables are all text fields with field width 255.
Some text fields are too big and we end up loosing some records as import errors. Is there a way to let access generate an imported table with a text field that is longer than 255 character ?
Tables :: Column Width In Table
Aug 19, 2015One of the Tables in my membership database is named [WaitList] and has a linked Form.
The Form is configured to pull data from another Table named [Groups]. The fields are [Group ID], [Group name] and [Leader].plus others from a second Table.
When the [Group name] is selected from a Form Combo Box it succesfully records the [Group ID] in the Form and Table, but repeats the [Group ID] in the [Group Name] column of the Table. I am convinced that the problem lies with the Column Width setting on the Property Sheet which is currently set at 0;2.54, but trying various combinations has not solved the problem.
The Row Source for the [Group Name] field is
; SELECT [Groups].[Group ID], [Groups].[Group Name], [Groups].[Leader] from [Groups] and the Column Count is set at 1 (2nd in Table)
I believe the [Leader] field is a different problem in that the Form correctly finds the ID and the Name but not the Leader. I have checked the property sheet for anomalies, but without success.
I have built this type of Table/Form relationship many times but have failed on this occasion.
Queries :: Adjust Column Width To Best Fit Using VBA
Mar 20, 2013How to adjust the column width of the fields to best fit in a Query using vba codes? Manually it can be done by selecting the Query - Click on More dropdown of the Reports section in the ribbon - Click on Column width - and select best fit as the option.I want this to happen by a vba code and not manually doing it everytime because the field length changes as it is a dynamically created Query.

Export Fixed-width With Line Feed Only
Nov 9, 2006Hey guys,
I searched the forums and couldnt find anything that directly related to my issue. What I am trying to do is export a fixed-width text file, but the issue is that the file has to be line feed only. By default Acces creates CR/LF and the client's import specification only allows for Line feed.
I am currently using a macro, with export specification, to create the file. Due to time constraints and other obligations, I am really trying to avoid VBA programming.
Thanks in advance,
