This ought to easy and I feel sure that the solution is in one of the Properties fields in the Form: I want to call one form from another as a 'Pop Up' - at the moment, if the 'calling' form in maximised, the one I want to Pop Up is also maximised. I want it to stay the size that I designed it, and appear as a small window over the calling one.
Can someone help, please
I bet there is a simple explanation for this.
I have a form which opens automatically when the database is opened, but I want it to open in the maximised view so it takes up the whole screen.
Does anyone know why when you click on a command button that loads a report it shows it in a print preview mode and then when you click close it closes the report window and changes the form that you were originally on to a much smaller and condensed view instead of being maximised? All the properties are making the form to maximise except when you close from a print preview view. Cheers

Anyone know in microsoft access 97 is it possible to remove the close button (top right hand corner) when a form is maximised?
Thanks.
I have strange issue when creating auto populated text boxes which displays rows from combo boxes.
In one database auto populates works with simple text box Control Source edit "=[ComboName].[Column](NumberOfColumn)".
Somehow same method doesn't wotk in different database: here one time I have to insert VBA code at On change Event:
Me.TextBoxName = Me.ComboName.Column(NumberOfColumn)
And other time it wont work with On change but only with After Update Event (code is same).
Another thing this morning happens was that when I tried to add new record trough form where combo box and tex boxes are located, MS Office suddenly stopped working after selecting combo box selection (with message Microsoft Office has Stopped Working). It is 2013 version.
I got it work after deleting and re-inserting VBA code to autopopulate text box at After Update Event.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

Attached I have a database that I've been working on which has a form called "frmCriteriaSearch". It is based off of the qryCriteriaListBoxUpdate query. I am trying to get the listbox in the second tab of the results section to work. It queries fine for the checkboxes, but I cannot get the comboboxes to affect the query (unless a checkbox has already been selected)
View 6 Replies View Relatedthere is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change()
Me.Requery
Me.cboCourseName.Requery
Me.Check178.Requery
End Sub

I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
Thanks,
Lester
Another quick request:
What would the code be for a button which clears the contents of a text box or a combo box on a form?
Many thanks,

Hi,
I added some new controls into existing form. I made sure I added those new control names to Table source as well. For some reason, I dont get the values either in the form or in table. Please help. Thanks.
By the way, how can I attach an attachment in this forum. This if first time for me in this forum.
Hi guys, I have a related databes with about 20 tables.
My main table stores the data linking with most of the other tables. This main table stores football match records with player line ups. Initially I had a problem linking the 11 player fields in the main table to the player table, Icould only do it with 1, so someone at work suggested to link it using the lookup function. This worked brilliantly. However, now I am designing a GUI with forms but the forms have combo boxes where the lookup function was used and when i change these to text boxes, the players names are replaced with their ID numbers.
Is there any way of creating the form without the unsightly combo boxes, as they won't be needed, the GUI will be read-only. I look forward to your help!!
I have a form with a check box among other itmes. What I want to happen is, when the user checks the check box, I want the text box to the right of it to be made visible and to let the user write text. But I only want this text box to be visible when the check box is checked. The check box is if the user wish to put a comment in the form, he will click the check box and then I want my text box to appear so that he may write the comment in the text box. Please help with this. Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that has client names and addresses. I have designed a form to be able to invoice these clients and everything is fine however what I'd like to do is have the address of the client appear automatically.
I have set the client names in a combo box and would like their address to appear in either a text box or sunken label automatically from the table. Is this possible and how do I do it.
Please keep in mind that I've done basic programming so please be kind to this newbie :D
Hi everyone,
I have been making progress with customizing a
MS Access program, but one major problem is that
I have been trying to make a List Box or Combo Box
that I can use to enter data in the TABLE, but I
find that I get a pull-down list that has the list of
values from only the parameter that is primary key.
More specifically, the program is set up as follows:
I have two tables in this program: One that is called
"invoices" and one that is called "items". In both of
these tables, there is one common parameter, which
is "Item Number". Item number is the primary key,
and I used the "relationships" function to tie this
parameter to itself between the two tables.
I was successful in setting up a list-box for the
"Item Number", but when I try to set up a list-box
for another parameter that is supposed to display
a person's initials, the pull-down list displays the list
of item numbers instead of the list of people's initials.
In fact, I don't know if there is an extra step I need to
take so that the database stores a list of people's initials.
Instead, I just fill in the initials in the field for each
record for which the "Item Number" is the primary key.
How can I get the list-box to pull down a selection of
different people's initials, or in other words how can I get
all the people's initials to be stored so that the list of
initials can be looked up. Just so you know, I have tried
different choices of entries in the "Lookup" tab in the
Design mode of Tables, including Display Control,
Row Source Type, Row Source, and Bound Column,
but the outcome is that the only parameter that I
get get in the pull-down list is the primary key, which
is Item Number.
I appreciate any help you can offer in explaining how
to correct this.
On a separate note, one of the parameters is "Date", and
on the reports, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a
specific date range so that I can limit each report to a
specific month. Please advise me on this procedure as well.
Thanks.
Hi

Hi
In my tables I have set a field to Yes/No and the format to be True/False.
When I activate the table it shows the field as a checkbox, however when I create a List Box on a form to that table it displays the fields as True/False, how can I get the list box to also display the field as a checkbox.

In Tools, Options Edit/Find I wish to uncheck the Confirm record changes, Confirm document deletions, and confirm action queries as these are automatically checked by default.
I did this when writing the database, but when users open it, these boxes are checked by default.
Is there any way to uncheck these by code on opening the database?
I seem to remember - way back in my access class that I have not used regularly, therefore have forgotten much - that there is a way to put a description of the query or form or table that pops up in a kind of box when the cursor is placed over the name. I hope that makes sense - if not, read on.
I have a lot of queries and would want anyone using them to know what they will do before they click on one - because it might mess things up.
Thanks in advance,
Peg
What is a combo box and how do I make one?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I posted on this forum a few months ago chasing a solution and still haven't found something. Is ther any way in vb that you can prompt the user to input a number? I was posted the code below to try and help. In the example below, i would like to be able to have the end user input the first and last numbers (11000 and 11100, in the example) in a pop up box, as these vary, not have them defined in the code, is this possible? In the database, the first and last numbers in a string are all that is needed and the db fills in the gaps, so to speak
Const MyTable As String = "YourTableName"
Const MyField As String = "YourFieldName"
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim intCounter As Integer
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(MyTable)
For intCounter = 11000 To 11100
rs.AddNew
rs.Fields(MyField) = "TP" & intCounter
rs.Update
Next intCounter
rs.Close
db.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Thanks for any help you can give. I hope it is pretty straight forward, as my vba skills are fairly limited.
Hello there,
I am making a roster for 25 people. In my form, the start of the roster is 0700hours until 1900 hours (increments of 15 minutes each) so I have 48 check boxes, which are ticked when one is rostered on for that time.
I am getting crossed eyed looking across the screen at these 48 tick boxes each for Monday through to Friday.
I have searched high and low and cannot find anything on how to have 24 check boxes (7am to 1pm) in one row and the other 2 dozen (for the next 6 hours until 7pm) on the next row, to be less painful on the eyes.
Can this be done?
I would be grateful for any ideas on how to start.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ligaya

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a query to simply bring up various parameters asking questions which then give back the results that are correct! i am wondering if it is possible so that when the parameter boxes display on the screen, for you to be able to select the answer from a combo box list (within the parameter box) instead of typing them in???
