Setting Scroll Bars In Microsoft Access
Dec 15, 2007I am having a problem with displaying the scroll bars in Access. I have created a database which is viewed correctly in 1280x720 screen resolution, which is our standard setting. However, we have recently taken on some users with sight problems, and they are using a different screen resolution.
This means that the forms do not fully display on the page, and I would like to add scroll bars to the access window rather than the form so that the user can move up and down the displayed form. Is this possible?
Any help will be much appreciated!

Setting Focus
May 30, 2006i have a tabular form, which on its after update event, i requery the form, and it works fine. However, my only problem is that after the requery occurs, the focus moves to the first field of the first record. Is there a way in which after the requery, the focus will be set at the end, in that blank record, where to insert a new record ?
Thanks
Setting Focus On A Tabbed Form

Jun 26, 2015I am having trouble setting the focus on my forms... I have a parent form with two labels that are coded like this.
Private Sub Advisory Messages_Click()
Me![ Advisory Messages].Visible = _
Not Me![Advisory Messages].Visible
End Sub
[code]...
I have the visible property set to no on the subform allowing the user to toggle the visibility when the label is clicked. The problem though is when I click inside the subform to use the scroll bar to view records, it transfers the focus to the subform making it almost impossible to close by clicking the label again because the label is on the parent form. I found the "me.parent.setfocus" command and a few other set focus commands but I don't know what I should be applying the command to in order to make it work.
Forms :: Tabbing And Setting Focus On A Button?
Oct 21, 2013I have a form with a tab control on it. The input for respective fields are placed inside the tab control, and I have the "Confirm" button placed outside, on the main form. Now I wanted to be able to navigate my focus from a control from inside to tab control, out to the Confirm button on the form, to allow smooth flowing data entry.
However, it seems like Access separates the tab indexes for the controls in the tab control and outside on the main form, so setting tab index does not work. I tried using the code ON LOST FOCUS and SET FOCUS;
Private Sub txtPurchaseNote_LostFocus()
Forms![frm Imported]![cmdConfirmPurchase].SetFocus
End Sub
But then a dialog box appears:
Run-time error '2110'
Microsoft access can't move focus to the control cmdConfirmPurchase
(cmdConfirmPurchase is a button control)
Modules & VBA :: Incrementing A Value And Setting Focus On A Field
Jan 13, 2015 I am new to Access and to the forum. I made a check printing system
table name = 'burgan'
form name = 'burgan cheque'
Fields = 'PV' and 'cheque' and 'Beneficiary'
I have inserted a button (Command31).The function I would like to add on clicking the button
1. it should chose the highest value in both fields (PV and cheque)
2. Create new record
3. Increment it by 1 (both fields 'PV' and 'cheque')
4. the focus should stand on 'Beneficiary' field.
Modules & VBA :: Setting Focus On A Control In Report?
Sep 24, 2013Windows vista
access 2007
I'm populating a report with a query which pulls criteria from a form. When the 'run' button is pressed it opens the report, running the query, to filter the data. What i'm attempting (and it works if there is data present).
The data is text, which is a filename, which populates an image control. Most of my records have an image present but for the ones that don't I think I need to turn the image control's picture property to 'blank'.
I'm just now encountering problems with the records with no pictures so when i came up with this it worked with my tests which at that time only had images present....
I have two problems.
1) When I run the code as below i get Run-Time Error 2185; you can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.
2) when i try to set the focus on the picture control in the report to see if there is text/value present i get runtime error 2478; database doesn't allow you to use this method in the current view.
I assume this is talking about me opening the report in acViewPreview mode but i thought i needed to do this so the images are displayed in the image control.
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim strDBPath As String
Dim strRelativePath As String
Dim strPath As String
'rptOriginalOwnerCategoryItem!Picture.Text.SetFocus
[B]Me!Picture.SetFocus[B]
'Test to see if the record has a relative path stored
[code]....
Forms :: Setting Form Focus Properly?
Jul 10, 2014I have a Main Form with a tab control. On each of the six tabs is a SubForm that takes up the entire tab. So basically I have a tabbed interface for my forms, just with a bit more control over the layout than if I just opened the forms separately in the Access window.
Anyway, on one of those subforms is a button. When you click it, it opens a separate form in a pop-up window, which is used to find a specific record. Once that record is found, you can click another button, and the idea is that this pop-up window closes, and you return to the underlying form, which jumps to the record you selected.
So far so good. Now, if I am working on my program in Access, and I open that subform's source form separately in its own tab, click the icon to open the record finding form, find a record, and then click the button to load that record, the following code runs, and it runs flawlessly - closing the pop-up window, and passing the information back to the main form which displays the proper record:
Quote:
Private Sub ViewRecord_Click()
Dim RecordID As Integer
RecordID = Me.ID
DoCmd.OpenForm "CDLExam", , , "ID = " & RecordID
DoCmd.Close acForm, "CDLExamCONT", acSaveNo
End Sub
Where my program falls apart is that, in actual use, this form is not open on its own. It's open as a subform on one tab of a tab control on a Main Form. So the third line of code falls apart. Access thinks I want to open CDLExam separately, but it can't because it's already open in the subform, so instead I just end up back at the main window like I want, but the form fails to move to the proper record. Basically, line 3 just doesn't do anything.
How can I make this work? I tried replacing "CDLExam" with the name of the main window, but then it tries to move to the record in the main window, which throws an error as the main window doesn't even have a record source attached to it.
how to refer to the SUBFORM which has CDLExam open, and tell THAT to move to the proper record.
Modules & VBA :: Setting Focus To Non Default Instance Of A Form
Mar 21, 2014How to set focus to a non Default instance of a form.
Environment
A2007 ADP Project
Document Window Option - Tabbed Documents
MS SQL 2012 Express DB
Windows 7 64 Bit
I using Allen Browne's method to open more that one version of form, storing each form object in a collection declared in a module. No problem there.
Now I'm trying to add a command button on an form to set focus to one of these non-default instances already open.
The form I am trying to set focus to has a the following related properties
Default View: Split Form
Pop-up: No
Modal: No
The form that has the command button on it is of the same type.
Here is the code I've tried:
'Code on Calling Form
Private Sub cmdProjectList_Click()
Dim FunctionResult As Boolean
If AppForms.GoToForm("ProjectList") = False Then
AppForms.Load_ProjectList
[Code] .....
The code compiles and executes with seemingly no problems. It finds the form loaded, then cycles though and finds the form in Forms but the SetFocus call seems to do nothing. When I run the code against a defualt instance ( one not opened using Allen Browne's method) it works fine and sets focus to it as expected.

For eg.
Text in Text box is Kan

Jan 19, 2014We are developing an Access 2010 database that is to be served using MS Server. Currently we have Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 64bit with Server Manager Version: 6.1.7601.17514 SP1 on a cumputer with 8GB RAM and an Intel Celeron G550 2.6GHz processor. All software is up to date with MS updates.
We are having a problem with dropdown lists that have too many items to show in the drop-down window so there is a scroll bar. If I click on the down arrow and open the drop down list, and then click on the scroll bar, the access window locks up. If I only click on a choice in the drop-down, but not the scroll bar, it works fine and does not lock up. Once access is locked up, I can click on another window on the desktop and then Access becomes active again. This does not happen on windows 7.
List Box Focus
Nov 8, 2005Hi
I have a list box setup with all the dates from 01/10/05 to 31/12/08.
I want to always start the list box at the current date while still allow the functionality to backdate if required.
I have used the undernoted code to set the row correctly but I cannot figure how to get the box to scroll down to the correctly selected row.
Dim i As Long
i = DLookup("ID", "tblIMDates", "cdate([Date])=date()") - 1
Me.lstDates.Selected(i) = True
Any ideas?

Removing Focus From A List Box
May 8, 2006Hi All,
I have a form with 3 list boxes. The user selects an option from each list box and depending on their selection a set of data appears in a subform. If the user then goes back to the first list box and makes a new selection, the next two list boxes still have their records highlighted from the last set of selections. What is the line of code that would remove the focus from the second and third list boxes if a value in the first list box was changed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Aaron
Forms :: How To Tell If A List Box Has Focus
Aug 1, 2015i have a button that allows you to "edit" the show that is selected. You can double click the show name from the list box, and it opens that show in viewing mode, but you cant edit it. You can click the edit show button in the form that you view the show with, but I want to be able to edit that show from the main form with the list box. But, the problem im having, is if someone clicks the "Edit show" button without have a show selected, they get a error.
If lstShows has focus Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEventsEdit", , , "EventID = " & Me.lstShows
Else
'do nothing, since having no code here, it does nothing
End If
End Sub
That is what I want, but I cant get access to open that show up if its selected.I need to be able to tell if it has focus on it, and to open that selected show up.

View 6 Replies View RelatedScroll Up Down Buttons
May 13, 2005The detail section of my (continuous) form may or may not have a scroll bar on the side depending on the number of records. When it is there, it is way off to the side and the user may not notice that there are more records to view. I'd like to add Up/Down buttons to the footer that become visible when the scroll bar is visible, and work like the Up/Down buttons on the scroll bar.
Can anyone suggest how I might code this?

Scroll Bar Colours
Jun 23, 2005Is it possible to change the colour of scroll bars in subForms?
Seems odd that you can easily customise all the colours, yet have to settle with a horrible looking grey scroll bar!
