In my table, I have a field for "notes" and have it set to long text. It works just fine and has all the text visible. When I create a report or a form from this table, it truncates the text in that field. It limits to the 254 characters of old. I am not sure how to fix this. I have tried setting the WillGrow to yes and it still does not work.
View RepliesI have a report that is generating a few pages, but I am only interested in the first page only. I have tried adding in code to cancel everything after the first page, but this just gives me a blank second page:
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Cancel = Me.Page > 1
End Sub
Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Cancel = Me.Page > 1
End Sub
Private Sub PageHeaderSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Cancel = Me.Page > 1
End Sub
I am outputting this report to PDF, and it is very annoying to have a blank page.
Is there a way to force the report to only be one page in length.
I am creating a large report and I have reached the limit of the report page height at 55cm. Is there a way to change this value to 100cm or more.
It seems rather silly to put a limit on the size of a report.
We are creating a report and for some reason we can no longer extend the detail section of the report. It has stopped at 2 A4 pages length and won't let us extend it further. We have about 7 pages of the report, I didn't think this was too much?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy undertsanding is that text fields are limited to 255 characters. A friend has a databse with some "notes" type fields with data a few sentences long. Is there any way around this limit. If not, what database recommendations can anyone make for someone who needs a questionnaire component in his database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been beating myself up over this for the past few days and have not found a feasible workaround yet, including searching this forum repeatedly.
I have a listbox which is tied to the below query:
SELECT tbl_csraws.priority, tbl_csraws.rawname, tbl_csraws.description, tbl_csraws.sqlcode, IIf(tbl_csraws.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') AS enabled, tbl_csraws.creator, tbl_csraws.createdate FROM tbl_csraws ORDER BY IIf(tbl_csraws.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') DESC , tbl_csraws.priority
The listbox only shows the second column to the user, and upon selecting one of the options, fills in text boxes on my form for the remaining information. The description field is a memo field on the table, but when a user selects an option from the list box where the description is greater than 255 characters in length, it cuts the remaining amount off, so if they save the changes without replacing the removed characters, it will cause problems with my database. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!

I have a button to send automatic emails confirming interview times. The action works well, but I've reached the alotted number of characters and I'd like to add more text to the message body. how to extend the text limit?
Code below:
=[First Name] & "," & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "It was a pleasure speaking with you today. We are confirmed to meet in the Harper Associates office on " & [Date Interviewed @ Harper] & " at " & [Harper Interview Time] & "." & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & Chr(13)
Hi,
sorry about the unwieldy title: I appear to have reached a limit while adding fields to a fixed width text table which is imported to Access on a monthly basis using Import Conditions to define the field start points and lengths. Using the Import Conditions wizard, I cannot add any break points beyond the 495th character. Is this a known limit, or has anyone found a way around? I've tried both Access '97 and 2002. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Kevin
How can I limit the length of an unbound control? For instance, I want a text box to only allow up to 3 characters.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?
I made a report that have 'txtRemarks' field, I just want to get remarks automatically in 'txtRemarks' field based on the other field in report. that is why I used a function like below:
Code:
Private Function Estd_Remarks(Estd_Point As Long) As String
If Me.Estd_Point < 20 Or Me.Estd_Point = 0 Then
Estd_Point = "Earlier Established"
Esle
Estd_Point = "OK"
End If
Estd_Remarks = Estd_Point
End Function
And I wrote in properties 'On Format' event this code below:
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If Estd_Remarks = "Ok" Then
Me.txtRemarks = "Ranked & Sortlisted"
Else
Me.txtRemarks = "Estd_Remarks"
End If
End Sub
When preview the report then it shows
Compile error
Argument optional
I'm working on a report in Access 2013 and I have a multivalued field that stores employees names in the format "Last, First" and when I put it on my report it displays all the names as "Last1, First1, Last2, First2, Last3, First3" and so on. That's a lot of commas and it was suggested to me by my boss that I change access to use semicolons between the employees as he would like to keep the names as Last, First.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a report that is looking up min and max quality specifications for a product. The table with the specifications has a Yes/No check box field for when the specs are defined as "Internal". So the table looks like Product/MinValue/MaxValue/Internal
I want the report to display "TEST AND RECORD" when the Internal box is checked where the MinValue and MaxValue (that are stored in the table) would be displayed otherwise.
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.
I have created a report but discovered that I need to add a couple more fields.
I created a query for the one field and the other field I added to the existing queries.
Neither field is listed in the "add existing fields" drop down list. The fields have been added to the corresponding forms and tables.
How can I add these two fields without creating a whole new report?
I have a database with a bunch of related tables. One holds information on (let's say) types of food. A field in that table tells whether the food is HOT or COLD. Foods are grouped by MEALS in a related table - the PK of the foods table is stored as an field in the MEALS table. What people here are looking for is a report that lists all the foods in each MEAL, the temperature of the food, and whether the meal is HOT, COLD, or MIXED - foods are both HOT and COLD. I've got a report that lists all the FOODs, grouped by MEALs - it's just the overall temperature of the MEAL that I am missing right now.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two numeric fields which make up what looks like a full decimalised number ie 20.22 - only I am unable to put the decimal point in between the two numbers.
I thought about putting in an unbound object such as a picture of a full-stop but cant get it anchored at the correct angle to make it look convincing in the report.As this is such a huge database I have tried to amend the tables, but it loses vital data ?
I have a report where I added text then a date field based on a Table. In the table I have specified the "Co_ContractEndDate" for input mask as dd/mm/yyyy, however the format to display as dd mmmm yyyy. This works in the Form and in the report as it's own control text box, however when I merge the field with some text the formating changes.
My report text box is as follows:
="The Program Period for this Program will finish on " & Co_ContractEndDate] &"."
The output in Print Preview is:
The Program Period for this Program will finish on 30/06/2013.
I would like to show it as:
The Program Period for this Program will finish on 30 June 2013.
As a work around I have aligned the date field with the label field to get the outcome but as it is a sentence I would like to add a full stop at the end. how to show this text box in design view?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently creating an invoicing report for a company, and for record purposes they need a dynamic field on the report for the specific Invoice Number of each client they invoice. I have the field set up currently as a text box =[Invoice#] so they have to enter an invoice number when they generate the report. However, when I generate the report and put in a number, I'm getting some whacky outputs.
For example, I've tested it with a test client, and when I give the client an invoice number of 1, the report somehow changes it to 49.
In Access 2010 I am previewing a customer report. I also try to give users the choice of seeing history sub records for any given customer. I have a selection dropdown box where they can chose ALL, 5, 10 or 15 in a report. To this end I set the record source in the "Open" event for the subreport. if I want all records it works fine, but as soon as I put in "SELECT TOP 5" the subreport goes invisible. I have tested the query directly and it works fine. I'm sure this worked in Access 2007

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a report that has four fields: Item, Qty, Price and TotalPrice for each line in the detail section. Total Price is calculated by multiplying Qty x Price. The text box name that holds the Total Price for each line is txt_TotalPrice. I want to have a Grand Total in the report footer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with attached subform from which I can choose which records to send to a report. All records in the base table have a comment text field for the user to enter additional data (comments). Typically, there are none, but when there is, if it is only a single record sent to the report, the comment is printed in the page footer. However, if there are multiple records being sent to the report and only one record has text in the comment field, unless it's the last record it the subform, it will not print in the report. There isn't enough room in the detail section to include the comment field (like I said, it's typically not used and when it is, they can be lengthy). Is there a way to get the comment field to print in the report page footer when it is not either the only record selected, or the last record?
