Reports :: Controls Jumping About When Try To Move Them
Apr 24, 2014
I've recently upgraded on of my systems from Access 2003 to 2010.
In the past I've always used to the ctrl key and the cursor keys to move and fine tune the position of my controls on my reports. However since upgrading the controls jump about all over the place when I try to move them.
I have noticed that when I've selected the controls and start to move them a little black line appears on the vertical ruler and when I release the controls they seem to move to it's position.

Using Access XP
I have a continuous form that shows the main fields in my table. In the page footer of the form I have a tab control that has 4 additional fields for each record. I want to give the user the option of “Show Details”. When the user clicks on “show details” I want to move the tab control with the additional fields to the detail row so the user can see them.
I know how to move controls with VBA by setting the Top and Left properties and how to expand the detail size, but how do I move controls from one section on the form to another section on the form i.e. from the page footer to the detail section

I'm having trouble with one of my reports. attached is a screencap of my report. The second name which is highlighted i need to either nudge it to the right so it is not directly under the first name OR remove it completely but keep the times and a gap for the next record.
I am creating is a sign in database where staff sign in/out for each day of a week. the issue is when the staff member signs in/out in the morning and then does the same when they get back from lunch it is difficult to read. This report is only printed once a week and will not show after a time frame of 5 days.
So, i still need that name to show up for the next day.

I have a report that displays maybe about 4 columns that read data and if a columns reads zero then I have a code where it will hide, but my problem is that I cannot get the columns to move over once the column that is zero is invisible.VBA code that will hide a column that has zeros and move over the remaining columns so that when the report is ran it will not show just an empty white space.

I wrote a custom ActiveX Control in C#.NET using a guide (Google ".net activex control step by step", first link on CodeProject). The control is compiled as a .dll and registered in Access 2007.
When I place the ActiveX control on a Form or Report, I can call its methods from VBA and see its output just fine.
When I open a Print Preview, only the top left corner of the control is shown, the rest is a blank white box. This does not happen with built-in ActiveX Controls (e.g. Calendar control), which print as they should.
I also tried a basic ActiveX Control build using VC++ (the sample control created by the MFC wizard), and that displays and prints correctly.

I have a music database in which I keep track of my CDs and how many times I've listened to them. I have a report that uses grouping to show me the total listens for each artist for each year - the totals are in a group footer, with nothing in the detail section of the report. It looks something like this:
-------94-95-96-97-98-99-00-01-02-03-04-05-06-07-08-09-10-11-12-13-14
BAND1--00-00-00-01-13-04-03-00-01-00-01-03-10-16-04-04-01-00-01-03-00
BAND2--00-00-00-00-00-00-00-33-31-14-15-07-02-00-02-01-11-05-01-00-01
(The dashes are blank spaces.)
The first line is the column header showing years (last 2 digits for space reasons).
The second and subsequent lines are created in the group footer section, first is the artist name, then the Sum of listens for all titles by that artist in the year given ([Sum of Listens1994]).
This report works perfectly.
Here's what I want to do, and I can't get it to work:
In the above lines of data, let's say that the earliest title for BAND1 is from 1975, and the earliest title for BAND2 is from 2001. My yearly counts start in 1994. Therefore, there were listens for BAND1 prior to 1994, but there weren't any listens for BAND2 prior to 2001.
GOAL: Instead of showing "00" on the BAND2 line for years 1994-2000, I want them blank.
I've put a conditional format code in OnFormat for the group footer section, telling Access to turn visibility off for the text box control ([Sum of Listens1994] etc) if the [Earliest] field (which contains 2001) is greater than the year being displayed (1994 first, and so on). This, which seems like it should work, makes no difference. Oddly, if I put a F9 code break on the If statement, it never breaks, which makes me believe the code is never even being executed.
I do have prior experience with controlling field visibility in forms and reports, so the concepts aren't new to me. I feel like the big difference with this one is that it's in the group footer section rather than the detail section. [Access 2013]

Hello again,
Is there a way in determining how the users jumps from one text or combo box to another on a form?
When I press enter I want the cursor to move to a different text/combo box than the one it automatically moves to.
Is there a way of doing this?
Any help appreciated!

Greeting All!
I mentioned this a while back but was never able to solve this problem.
I don't have any nails left to chew so I hope some smart person on this forum can spot the error or know how to solve it.
Here goes...
On the main form you have a building that you can click on, once you have done so it will then list all the fire fighting appliances in that building that need servicing.
The problem is that when I'm editing the records the list box jumps to the first record after saving it & you have to scroll to the last record again to continue.
It's not so bad if you only have a few records to edit but it is a pain when you have more than can fit on the form.
I hope someone can spot where I'm going wrong and help me out as I have no idea how to solve this.
Thanking you in advance.

I have a long form that has a tab control at the bottom of it. You have to scroll down to get to the tab section. After I scroll down, when I click on one of the tabs the form jumps up. It doesn't jump up to the beginning of the form but somewhere near the beginning. I've checked everything that I could think of but nothing helps this situation.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Sue

hello,
okay, simple question. How in visual basic code do you tell the prompt to go to the next line in the same control on a form? In other words, how do you mimic the behavior of the enter key in code?

Hello,
I have a simple invoice database with a primary key in the main table (with autonumber as invoice no.) and a subform with the item details which is without a primary key with the data type as numbers. In addition, I had the tables linked as one to many relationship. What happen is that when I am entering the data, the number jumps . For eg: It was suppose to be 7123 but the next entry was 7150. Pls kindly advice.

When the client clicks in a text-Box or Combo-box in a sub-form, the field seems to jump to the side. in this image it jumps to the left, but jumps to the right to..., it is quite irritating, especially attempting to open a combo-box list, and see the button jumping aside.We renewed the file many times, so I don't think it is corrupted, but go know..the file can be accessed via network or terminal server, the pic is from terminal, but happens via network too.

Hi, new to the forum hoping someone can help :)
I'm half way through a project and want to have 3 queries to search personal information (Surname/DOB/Ref Number) is it possible to select the record in data view from the query search and jump to the record in form view? Would I have to display the query differently or is it possible to just click within the normal query view?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks Harry

Hello All,
I'm a newbie to the forum, but hope that someone can point me in the right direction to solve a problem.
Background:
I have a db that I use much like Quicken to maintain a ledger and reconcile accounts. To reconcile credit card transactions, I have a continuous form that lists each transaction as a record in the Detail. Each record has Check Boxes for Yes/No criteria pertaining to "Cleared Status", "On Statement", and "Missing Receipt". Checking the box for "On Statement" allows a subsequent report to include the items that are checked. Likewise, an Update Query used later in the process sets all all items in the reconcile to "cleared" so that do not reappear on the list of items to reconcile. In order to cause the Report and the Update Query to reassess the Yes/No status for each item and thus function properly, I have set the Event Proceedure for these Check Boxes to Requery the underlying data.
Problem:
As you can imagine, the list of Credit Card Transactions is a long one. Each time a Check Box is clicked, the requery causes the list of records to jump back to the very top of the list. This really slows down the process of completing the reconcile. Is there a way to hold the continuous list in the detail section still as the requery takes place?
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
Gordon

The problem now is when two data entry people are
working on the DB at the same time, sometimes the
client records one person is the are working on jump
from one computer to another computer.
Attached is an example caught:
Louise data entry user was logged into the database
on one computer entering data.
Mary data entry user was logged into the database on
a different computer entering data on a different
client.
The client data from Mary's computer "jumped" to the
screen of Louise's PC. And then worst to the
database table of contact data kept.
This is kind of hard to believe if there was not
screen images catching it in the act, which we have.
Is there a record locking MS-Access global setting I
need to turn on?
Also, we have at least 3 time where we get a duplicate MS-Access record-id key on the DB. That is not suppose to happen. I can e-mail the DB and mass out the real person(s) names if you would like.
Any of your great thoughts or insights will be appreciated.
Hope all is going good for you at America General and the earth quakes are not too shaking.
Thanks
Russ

I have a form with a subform for tracking the stocks trading. I use the subform to enter new transactions. This was working fine until I have made some modifications in the design, which started giving me the trouble. Whenever I try to input any transactions by selecting a combo box in the subform, it takes me to the first record, even before completing my entries. I tried my best to solve it. But not successful. I am attaching a sample file for reference.

I have checked the tab order and have cycle for my form set to = all records (but have also tried current record). After I update one of any of my textboxes in the details section and then click or tab into the next box, the cursor jumps back to the first record, first field.

The above image is of a table which I need to update according to a new data on daily basis. As you can see when I added two records at the last , the AutoNumber primary key of the table jumped by thousands . I have used the following query to update the table
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC)"_ & "SELECT Ctpy_Entity_Id,Ctpy_Entity_Legal_Nm"_ & "FROM NewCU LEFT JOIN D_Counterparty ON D_Counterparty.CPTY_ENTITY_ID=NewCU.Ctpy_Entity_Id"
I never changed the AutoNumber from incremental to random and I have also tried re-seeding it but had no success. Also when I inserted the sample values using a sample table ,the AutoNumber was working fine . Here's that query
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC,) SELECT a,b, FROM sample"
I did not use join in this query ...

I'm planning make a move from Access to SQL Server.
To be honest I never used it before, but I told to my bosses that I'm a Gooroo in it.:)
So can you guys give me an idea if it is really hard to make a move, to upload the existing databases and to get used to it.
How long it takes?
What books would you recommend?
Or what forum?

Hi all
Currently i have this setup
Listbox1
Rowsource: SELECT PREC FROM PNum;
I have created a Listbox2
What id like to do is move the selected items from Listbox1 one to Listbox2
Is there any simple way to do this? I'v looked around and found some examples, but they seemed too complicated for a newbie like me.
Thanks in advance!

I know what I want to do...but have no idea how to get started! I'm new to coding and using macros and quesries doesn't seem to help.
When field [TermDate] is updated with a value, I want to move the record from table [BadgeData] to table [Termed]. I'm sure this is easy for someone who'll be willing to throw out a few suggestions.
Also, is there anywhere in the code builder that will help identify what code (or commands) do? (Does that make sense?)
