View 2 Replies View RelatedDesign View Keyboard Shortcut - Expand Columns In Design View Of A Query
Jun 5, 2014I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!

Reports :: How To Stop Parameter From Popping Up In Design View
Oct 7, 2014I created a crosstab query with the dates as row headings which has a Start Date and End Date Parameter. When I created a report from it, everytime I switch to the Design View of the Report, the Parameter Pops-Up like 3 times so I had to either click Cancel Start Date and End Date Pop-Ups 3 times or Fill up the Parameter 3 times which is annoying. It pops up when I click something on the Report(in Design View), or even when I encode a Formula on a textbox(it pops up everytime I press a letter on my keyboard).
I can't remove the parameters from the query because I need it in producing the data for report (say from August 1 to 31 data only) .....

View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Unable To View Object Properties In Form Design View (Access 2010)
May 16, 2014Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?

Any ideas why it is not showing?

DATASHEET --- Allow Design Changes: Design View Only DOES NOT WORK
May 18, 2007I have a sub form in DataSheet view and I would like to lock the design so that the User should not change the layout
Even when I set the property of the Datasheet “Allow Design Changes: Design View Only” users are able to unhide the hidden columns and they can also change the size of the column by dragging the column end line
Does any one know how to lock the design of datasheet ( I am using this sub form datasheet for data entry but do not want users to change the layout)
Thanks

Design View - Where'd The Table View Go ?
Apr 18, 2008You know how normally in design view there would be a table at the bottom of the screen where you can drag your fields from the view above.
Well, I have a query where this table view has disappeared ?
I can edit the query in SQL view, the query works, just the table view is missing.
Ever happened to anyone else ? I've done the obvious and scrolled down as far as I can and nope, it's not there ??? :confused:
Normal View -v- Design View
Jul 20, 2005I am wondering why the alteration to my form in design view is not reflected in the "normal" form view. I have included the two views. In design view I moved "Staff In"/"Staff ID" to the top of the form believing that as I work left to right thay would appear on the left hand side in normal view.
However, in the image of "normal" view you can see that "Staff In" is way over on the right hand side of the form.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thank you

View 6 Replies View RelatedBlank Form In Form View But Fields Present In Design View
Oct 19, 2005After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte

I Cannot Get To The Design View
Jan 26, 2005I am a new user of access and have a question concerning a database that I am working on. The database has a switchboard where you can open different objects but the problem is that the main menu on the top is missing the tools menu and the view menu. When I pressed control , I could get the views (without the actual view menu) but the tables do not have a field property control i.e. I cannot add any new fields to the table. In addition to that problem there is a reference problem with one of the tables when I add some data to it - but the table that access refers to I cannot even see. I am really puzzled over here - is it a security issue mind that I don't have the tools menu that will let me check the security settings - I am really puzzled here. I need your assistance please I am going crazy over here ! I attached a screen shot so you can see what I am talking about - also how come the database is designed this way where the forms and tables are b ound together?

Problems With Design View
Nov 16, 2006I work at a school district and we have a report card that was just created by one of our teachers in Access 03. Now, when you Shift+Click on the card on her machine (her personal laptop) it opens it up in Design View so the appropriate changes can be made. But, when we transfer it to our network so that we can copy it and give it to the teachers, the Shift+Click option doesn't work. I did some research earlier about VBA scripts being put into access documents to allow/disallow special options like this, but even when the database is open on our network, we (as administrators) can't Alt+F11 to bring up the Visual Basic Editor to check for those scripts. I thought that maybe it was a permissions thing, so that it could only be edited on the original machine, but she can move it to her home computer and Shift+click and Alt+F11 work as they are suppose to. Any ideas?
Thank you for any input.
Opening In Design View
May 23, 2007Hi,
I've got a DB where I need to simply change a few images on the form buttons. When I open the file I cannot access design view at all. There is no toolbar and the menu doesn't contain View, just file, edit etc. I can edit the properties of the records etc but this is all I can do. I thought maybe it had something to do with it being created in a different version of Access but still it will open in this way only. There is no messae telling me I'm locked from anything and I've tried ctrl + enter etc. I'm running Access 2003.
Does anyone know what's wrong? Its driving me nuts. :confused:

Subforms In Design View
Jun 24, 2006Using Access 2k in form design view, I sometimes get a blank, white section in place of a subform. Sometimes if I toggle back and forth a few times between design & form views, the subform may finally appear in detail. I've applied all updates to office 2k and can't seem to figure out why the design view would behave erratically this way.
