I reported this a day or two ago and the post is now gone.I have a report with grow and shrink = yes everyplace - I have three fields aligned top and they do not grow or shrink correctly - if i move the fields so they are not aligned horizontally they all work, or seem to work, fine. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong. Tested it on two computers.
View RepliesI have a complicated form I am working on. The problem is that there is A LOT of data on this form, and to evaluate the data, the end user really needs to see as much of it as possible. What was typed in text box 5, may affect how he or she will interpret what was typed in text box 1.
In a report, I can make the text boxes grow or shrink so that you can see all the text in the box.
Can the same thing be done in a form?
Can I make the size a sub-form expand to show all the rows of data in its datasheet?
The end user needs to be able to add notes to the end and you can't do that with a report.
Thanks,
David
All; using 2010. How can I get a subform to grow or shrink based on num of records returned? Its a continuous subform. Tried changing Vertical and Horizontal Anchors as well as some VBA suggestions but havent been able to make any of them work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using MS Access 2003.I have a report whose Detail band contains a zero-height Comment field positioned at the bottom of the other single row of fields. It has Can Grow = Yes, so it sits waiting to grow if there's any data in this Comment field.
However, when this report prints, if the Comment field just "happens" to straddle two pages, it gets positioned only on the first page and gets cut off in the process. (See attachment 2.) Ideally, the entire field should display on the second page instead.
If I adjust the margins in Page Setup, I can fix this on this particular report. However, depending on the data being reported, these new margin settings can create a problem for the same report with different data. (All depends on where the Comment falls.)I'd like the report to work consistently, no matter the data or margins.
I have a report that has Bill to and Ship to addresses. They are positioned across from one another (ship to on the right and bill to on the left of the page). The issue is that the 'can shrink' doesn't work when there is data in the same field on the other address..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI designed and used an Access 2003 for some time but I have recently updated to Access 2013 and want to rejig and improve my database. My query is that I need to print invoices from my database, there is a header section with my details, then a section with the customers name and address at the left hand side, and the invoice details such as invoice number, invoice date, PO number, credit terms, etc. at the right hand side. I would like to remove any blank lines from the customers address but to still have the invoice details at the right formatted and spaced correctly. Is there any way of doing this, the canshrink property will not work due to the invoice details which still need to be printed to the right?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a subform that shows notes entered but if there is more text in the field then you cant see it all. Can I make it so that this field will grow so the whole input is visible or can I make it so when you click on it it opens in a larger window showing all the txt?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a simple subform that shows an address block.Created as a form, the can shrink property does not kick in. Created as a report, it works fine.All controls and properties and query they are based on are identical.The report pasted into Access 2010 works fine and missing fields shrink.The form pasted into Access 2010 does not.The problem I have is in how do I reference the "subreport" in the form so as to be able to requery?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a mdb base (BD1) wich have no tables, the tables are in BD2 and are linked to BD1.
But BD1 grows, sometime just 20 or 30 bytes but sometimes more than 300k in one time. What Access stores ?
Is it possible to limit this ?
BD1 can be ran from many user and is stored on the server (not local) it is shared so i think i can't use option : compact data base when quit.
What are the best ways to prevent this ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a main form with a subform (subform display is continuous forms and key field is linked to key field of main form). I have a text field (enabled, not locked) on the subform that I've set the Can Grow property to Yes, but it doesn't get bigger even though the text! I've set the detail section Can Grow to yes as well. Any thoughts?
View 10 Replies View Relatedis it possible to have a 'CAN GROW' ON A COMBO BOX ON A FORM?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am doing a huge report. I have everthing working great but have to use another control source for another sub total area. I am adding this to the report header section and since the number of rows returned can vary I need it grow or shrink. Listbox is the only way I could find to do this but where is the can grow setting? Or do I need to create a subreport set to that data?
Thanks
Joe
I was wondering if there's a way to set objects so that they don't get pushed down if an object above is set as Yes in the CanGrow property?can a report be split into columns?
I have been asked to replicate a form (previously written up on Word) which has two columns of information. As luck would have it all the fixed fields are on the Left hand side, so that part doesn't need (or want) to grow, However, the Right hand side has several sub-reports which can display 1-5 records each.
So if any of the sub reports show more than 1 record, they push down everything below it, but this includes the Left hand objects, creating gaps and often pushing the report onto 2 pages.
I want to keep the textbox small unless a user mouses over it, and they can then see all of the textbox contents. I've got code that will change it back to it's normal size after leaving the textbox as well.
Can I make the textbox "draw over" other nearby objects, so that it is in the foreground? Currently, the box grows, but it hidden by other nearby textboxes.
Edit: Well it looks like I just wasn't setting the Height large enough. I set it at .25 thinking it was in inches like it is in the property window, but I guess it's not. Seems to be working for now.
Edit 2: Not working afterall. It looks like it's working sometimes then the next time other objects will show through it. If I take a screenshot it looks fine in the screenshot no matter what it looks like on screen. Basically the check box and text box below the textbox I am making larger can be seen through said textbox.
I have four forms named [Information Form], [Evidence Form], [Subject Form], and [Vehicle Form]. The Final Form is a Tabbed Form named [New Incident]. The tabbed form has four tabs, with each tab displaying one of the forms above. I also have a Print Command Button named [Print All] underneath the tabbed portion of the [New Incident] form.
Also, All of the four forms are set to data entry - yes, so that on open they will be clean and read for new record entry. I need the [Print All] button to do, just that, print everything that has or has not just been entered into the four forms, even if some are printed blank because they were not necessary for this particular report. One thin of note is that each form on the tab has a field for the "Incident Number" which will be the same for all four forms.
I have a report with several subreports that occassionally grow. I also have several fields that don't grow. If my subreport grows, it moves any other fields down as well. These are fields that are below the subreport, but not beneath it (e.g. on a lower line, but to the left).
Is there any way to keep the other fields stationary?
Thanks!
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 have a list of all previous employers for a job applicant. I can enter up to 10 but I only want the boxes to show if there is a previous position for that box. So, if there are 3 previous positions, I want to see 3 lines. If there are 10, I want to see 10. I have fields [Company_1]. [Company_2], etc. I only want company 2 to show if the person has 2 previous positions entered into the form.
View 1 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 have a report that has multiple fields - 3 of which matter for this discussion -
1.) employee
2.) employer
3.) rateofpay
The employer field contains 1 of 2 options. For the sake of this conversation, lets call it ABC123 and XYZ123
I need to be able to calculate the average rate of pay for ABC123 company, and exclude the rate of pay for XYZ123 company in my report.
I am calculating this in a section footer.

I need to add a text box to my report that shows the value of a record in a certain field that is corresponding to a given value in another field.
For example, if my report shows the following:
N City
3 D
7 F
2 H
9 K
4 A
the text box should show the name of the city corresponding to the largest number which is in this case "K". is it possible through formula builder?
I have a report that has a field (4) whose data is in the form of NO.1.1.2, NO.2.1.1, NO.1.12.3, etc. It is not allowing me to have the report display with those in order, sorting this field is not offered. My report is being grouped by Fields 1, 2, and 3, no sorting. How can the data then displayed in Field 4 be in order of those numbers. Sorry I don't know more about Access and I'm having to do this without support. Thank you

It turns a number like this "120" into elapsed time in hours and minutes like this "2:00"
I have a report with an elapsed time for all of the items. I simply want to SUM it at the report footer, but i guess my control source turns it from a number into text, which then cannot be summed ?
I've inherited a database with many queries (most based on a single table). There is a requirement to change the name of a few fields in the table. Is there a way to find ALL queries/reports that are utilizing the fields that need to be changed so I know what queries need to be modified?
