Hello
I'm trying to set-up a database that will allow the user to navigate around by clicking but having a bit of trouble.
I was wondering if there is anyway to capture the text that you click (if you make it a hyperlink or something) so that you can use it as the parameter in a query or something?
Any help would be absolutely fantastic.
Thanks.

I am currently working on an existing database (not created by me) which contains several queries. Each query relates to a particular product.
I am wanting to create a form which has a combo box so that a user can choose a particular product from the combox options and then click on the command button to run the correct query.
How to do this. I have created the form and the combox (together with the list of products). I just need to know what Event Procedure code I need to enter to programme it to look for the correct query and then run it.
For example.
I have the following queries
product1query
product2query
product3query
I have the following options in the combo box
product1
product2
product3
How do I get the command button to look at the product1 option in the combo box and then find and run the product1query.
I have a textbox on a subform to allow a delivery qty to be entered (to allow me to cater for part deliveries). I have a query which totals up the values of this field (so that I have a total of all the deliveries for this record) and compares that value against another field (to check that the total deliveries I have entered do not total more than the ordered qty). I am using this query within the "Validation Rule" of the textbox. My problem is that when I enter the values for the first time this works fine because the figures are not yet part of the query and therefore the check works fine, however if I try to modify a figure I've already entered it triggers the validation each time because it tries to add the new value to the query total.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI sure am having difficulty with this. I'm trying to have the criteria in my form refer to a text box within one of my forms which is the text as I would write it myself within the query design view.
Query's [DEST_ZIP5] criteria = [Forms]![Mainswitchboard]![QueryWizard].[form]![calcDestZip5]
[calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422" OR "55343"
Basically, I just want to be able to enter the text string within a form instead of within the query. Sure this can be done!
Oh, and for what it's worth...
If, [calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422"
Then the query runs just fine. It's as if the query doesn't want to accept multiple criteria from another source.
TIA
Okay I have a report (rptHorneOstbergQuestionnaire) that is based on a query (qryrptHorneOstbergQuestionnaire). In the report I have a total (HOTotal) which is the result of an expression created in the qry. Based on this result I would like to generate text in a text field (HOType) that is found in the same report.
Basically if the field HOTOtal shows any vaue between:
16 and 30 then I want the unbound text field to show the text Definitely evening typw and so on ...(see case statement below)
I thought I could do a case statement on report open but I am getting an error that my expression contains no value.
Here is the case statement
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Select Case Me.HOTotal
Case 16 To 30
Me.HOType.Value = "Definitely evening type"
Case 31 To 41
Me.HOType.Value = "Moderately evening type"
Case 42 To 58
Me.HOType.Value = "Neither type"
Case 59 To 69
Me.HOType.Value = "Moderately morning type"
Case Else
Me.HOType.Value = "Definitely morning type"
End Select
End Sub
What else can I do?
Is there a way of using a text field value as the heading for query column?
ie change...
Column header: FieldInATable
to
[form1].[field2]: FieldInATable?
I am creating a database that should be fairly simple. The database is for a local racetrack and I'm stuck on how to entering race results. I have four tables: Driver, Rank, Home, Class. The form to enter in the results contains a main form with a subform. On the main form there are two combo boxes, one to select the Class of the race, and one to select the Heat of the race: i.e Finals, 1, 2, 3. The subform currently has a text box containing the rank of the driver for that race and the driver's name. I want the Rank to automatically start at one and increase by one each time a new driver is added. The rank field is part of the primary key but cannot be an autonumber field because there will be multiple ranks in the rank table. The rank table contains a primary key of: Class_ID, Rank, Heat. Therefore, each class/heat combo needs to start at 1 and increase. I created a query that finds the max rank value of the class/heat combo and I thought I could use that value +1 for the default value of the Rank field but I'm not having any luck. I have attached the database so that you can see what I all have as there isn't any sensitive information. If it would be easier doing it some other way than using the query that is fine to. I'm open to anything that works. I also want the Driver combo box in the Rank form to be limited to only contain drivers whose Class_ID matches that of the selected class in the main form. I have the row source set up sot that it works when I make my first selection when entering the form but not when I change the selected class and I do have an After_Update event set for requerying. It seems this should be so simple but I'm just missing something. Thanks in advance for your help!

I need to dynamically set the BOLD based on the particular value for the fifth field which was assigned from Query. if it doesn't match it should display normal.
E.g
If Field_5 = "Agent" then
Field_5.FontBold = True

Field_5.FontBold = False

I tried the aforementioned code and it dont work. ALso i tried achieve it using below listed options.

I have 480 textboxes in my form. What I am looking to do, is that any time any of thest textboxes are clicked (or double clicked) I want to then get the name of that textbox saved into a variable.
So I have created a public variable called tbName.
What I need is this:
- if the active control is a textbox then
- tbname = active control name.
It is important that I dont just take the active control name all the time as I want all controls other than textboxes to be igored. Secondly, under what event would I even put the code? Would it be the form Click event?
I have two fields set up on a form, when the user double clicks in field 1, the text that was in Field 1 then moves to field 2. The issue is that the text in field 2 only retains the most recent text change - overwriting the text that was in field 2 previously. How do i make it so that every time the text moves to field 2, that it keeps a running history of the text?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a textbox which I need to refresh when my Query is refreshed. Currently I only have the ability to requery with a Button but when that button is pushed I also want a text box to be refreshed. This is what I have currently in my On Click property of the requery button:
=[SearchSubformNew].[Requery]
Is it possible to have 2 On Click events? If so I just wanted to add the line to refresh my textbox which is named SummaryText.
I have a main Form "Client" that shows details such as Representatives, phone numbers, status, etc. I also have a main report "CRM" that is a nicer summarized table version of all of my Client form entries.
The "CRM" form will be used by others in my office to see what clients we are contacting, etc. What I want to be able to do is have someone open the CRM form first. If they want to see even more specific info (not everything is included in the report, as that would be too messy), I want them to be able to double click the Client's name on the report and be taking to the corresponding entry on the Client form that shows more details.
Right now my code for the Report which is not working is the following:
Private Sub Client_Name_DblClick()'double click on a client name in the reportDoCmd.OpenForm "Client", acNormal, , "[Client_Name]='" & [Client_Name]'this should open the Client Form to the record of the same client that was double clicked on the reportEnd Sub
I would like a way to auto-generate a pdf when a user clicks a link based on available tables within my database.
Basically i have developed a pricelist database and our reps need a printable pdf version of that available items and there attributes.
I have done some research and it appears that visual studio and crystal reports may be what I am looking for. This is an access web database that is accessed housed in sharepoint.
I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
I have a table x where the field value is selected via a combo box in a form that is populated from another table z.
When I look in x, it appears to have correctly stored the text from z, not the ID number.
I then built a Query, qX, which looks in x and grabs the fields I want. That query shows the text correctly in each selected field.
Now when I build a form, frmQx and use a List control, it displays some of the fields as ID values from the original table z, not the text values.
How can I get round this? I've searched and searched for an answer, sigh. Maybe I'm just not quite certain how to phrase the search.
I have a form that has a remarks textbox. Depending on the options, the form will write something in that textbox. Now I want to have other options (check boxs) that I can click on which will add to that remarks textbox.
Code:

If Me.Check27 Then
Me.Remarks = ("Shipping Box/Container")
Else
Me.Remarks = ""
End If
End Sub

I work for a company that manufactures home appliances & electronics. When those products fail within the warranty period, we are obligated to repair the units for the customers.
We have around 200 factory technicians who make those repairs. Each tech is able to make approximately 8 repairs each day. We have a dispatching system that assigns the repairs to the techs based on their availability each day. But the problem is that we have to manually enter and adjust the schedule for all 200 techs every single day, and this takes a lot of time. And of course technicians get sick, take vacation, etc, so we have to adjust the schedule so no techs will be assigned calls when they're off.
The problem: For example, currently when a technician takes off for 2 weeks, the user has to enter 14 individual records for the tech, which is somewhat time consuming. What I need is to program a button click event to determine the two dates (startDate & endDate) and append multiple records from one single entry in the form for each date in between and including the two date fields.
I know I'll probably need to create a loop that will loop through the two dates on the form and append a record for each day, so I can then cross reference the dates to the master schedule dates to make sure that no availability is opened for the techs taking time off.
I have continuous form in Access 2010 and I would like when user will click on record, the image, for instance, imgTest become visible for that record. But for other records the image not visible. How it to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a text box on my form which I use to attach hyperlinks to pdf's, this works great but after inserting a hyperlink nothing is displayed in the text box to show it has been linked unlike using attachment, the only way I know if that a hyperlink is placed is to right click and go to hyperlink and then open, is there a way to show the link on the text box and just double click on it to open the pdf. I am trying this as the size of the database will far exceed the 2gb that access allows if I just use attachments , even if I split the database (over 10000 pdfs )
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.
My form used to work and as I kept adding event scripts now when I click on the ID text field, it doesn't open the linked record, but a blank record with 'Filtered' showing on the bottom navigation. I guess a question I have is,
-is there an order on which the procedure scripts run
-do they all run everytime, or just the specific event script

I know how to do an action on doubleclick or mouseover but I want some simple text to come up, possibly with a white background behind it that has some details about the specific production number that the user is clicking on. Is there something like this? I tried a dialog but it brings up an ugly form, I just want the text or something simple. Can this be done?
