Reports :: Force Unbound Check Box To False / No Gray Fill
Mar 2, 2015
I have a report that generates an in-house physical invoice for an event. On this report is a small section for a staff member to make hand written notes regarding when we call a week before the event as a final confirmation.
I want to have an empty check box in this section for the person to put a hand-written check. I tried creating an unbound check box in the report but it defaults to the gray fill of a null valued check box when printed.I tried setting it's default value in the report to 0 but for some reason I can't find a Default Value field among it's properties in the Property side bar. I did some research and thought that setting the Triple State value to No would solve this issue but it didn't.
How I can get rid of the gray fill when the report is printed? The field is completely unbound--this check box is purely for hand written notes, it has nothing to do with the database itself.
I have a report with an unbound checkbox which has a null (greyed out value) when printed. I'm just trying to set it to false when the report opens.I have
Code: Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.CheckNotPaid = False End Sub
but it just says 'Runtime Error -214..You can't assign a value to this object'
Ive got a database with a combo box, called "combo1" (with 2 columns). It is unbound but uses a query as its row source. When i select a value in combo1 is places the data from combo1.column(1) into a textbox (text1). I then click the next record button (button1) and it then keeps the same value in combo1 because it is unbound. So i need it that when i go to the next record it displays the value in combo1 that relates to text1.
I print a report onto labels (Avery 5960: 3 columns of 10 labels on a letter sized piece of paper). The report and labels print fine BUT...
I need physical page breaks between certain sections. When I click on "keep whole group together on one page" in the "group by" section of the report, it starts a new COLUMN of labels (which Access sees as a new page), but does not force an actual new piece of paper.
I have the following code of my holiday calendar however I would like to convert the month into uppercase. I know about the 'Ucase' function but I am fairly new to this and have tried to place this within the code but with no success:-
With theReport .Controls("labelMONTH").Caption = Format(StartDate, "mmmm")
In access report, I'm trying to change color of text in specific records based on the true/false value in another record. Works in forms using conditional formatting, but won't seem to work in a report.
Here's what works in forms : IIf([2009 Symposium]=true, forecolor=255 ....this changes the records to red.
But using the same expression in a report doesn't change the text color.
I have an unbound control in data input form requiring to input a 6-digit number. I have put a validation rule restricting more than 6 digits. Most users prefer to enter, say 123 and the system can enter the 3 leading zero for them.
I am new to Access, and I need some help for this project I am working on. Please let me know if my question doesn't make sense.
I have created four tables: Clients, Tenants, Property, Contract
Clients Client ID | Client Name |
Tenants Tenants ID | Property ID | First Name | Last Name
Property Property ID | Client Name | Contract ID
Contract Contract ID | Clients ID | Client Name | Tenant ID | Tenant Name |Property ID |
Is there a way that when I enter Client Name in the Contract table, Client ID would automatically come up and check against other fields in the table if the information entered in Contract table is in sync and relevant against to data entered in Client, Tenants, and Property table?
Please let me know if this is not clear and I need explain more. Thank you.
I have the following VBA code that auto populates a word template:
Private Sub Command24_Click() On Error GoTo ErrorHandler: ErrorHandler:
[Code].....
The code executes flawlessy but there are three values that are based off check boxes set as YES/NO (EMPLOYEDATREGISTRATION, EMPLOYED and FRINGEBENEFITS). These values show up as -1 for YES and 0 for NO.
Is there anyway to add code to mine that would allow me to change these values before they are sent to the Word template?
hi guys, i have a continuous form with a check box and a button on each record's row.
now if i dont bind the check box to a control source when you tick it, it gets ticked for each record, i am using the tick box to pass a state to the button ( uses an if statement ) so that it will done different things if it is ticked when the button is pressed.
can anyone help me to get this to work without having to bind the check box to a control source?
I have a Continuous subform based on a query based on few linked tables.One of those tables has a Yes/No field which shows in the subform.
I want to be able to change the status of this field for each record independently, so I placed an unbound check box in the subform Detail section and a Command button on the subform Header section. However when I click one record check box, all of them change, I did not expect that. How do I move forward to get this done?
I have a table called Client Info which stores the clients name and their requirements (Gas safe etc). And I have a table "Job List" where i select from a drop down menu the clients and it auto fills all the requirement check boxes based on what is stored in the Client Info table. However I can't get the code to work.
Private Sub Client_Click() [job_list].[Gas_Safe].Value = [client_info].[Gas_Safe].Value End Sub
I have created my tables and form and am now trying to run reports to organize the data. I have figured out how to group the individuals by group and treatment, but can't figure out how exclude individuals from the final list if they are already in another. As background, some of the individuals are eventually excluded from the experiment, though I keep the initial data. When the exclude individual checkbox is checked ("True" on the report) I do not want the individual to be listed in the "False" list, even though there are entries for that individual when that checkbox wasn't checked (when it was "True"). This is so I can get an idea of the current totals in each group.
Implant Period >Treatment >>Exclude individual? >>>Individual ID
I feel like this should be a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure it out... Maybe there is coding to exclude individuals from the "False" list if they are already listed in the "True" list?
I'm trying to create a report that has certain rows filled with a background color. In excel, the fill color is complete across the row. That is, there are no gaps between cells. In Access, each individual "cell" or field is filled with the color but inbetween each cell/field there is white space. I tried changing the control padding to "narrow" but there is still too much white space. Changing control padding to "none" changes the alignment of the cells to look off. They aren't exactly lined up in a row anymore. It looks terrible.
I want a user to click the report, and an input box appears asking for a product number. This product number is used in a recordset (VBA code in the report) to fill the text boxes in the Detail section.
Code:Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)Dim rst As DAO.RecordsetDim db As DAO.DatabaseDim itemCode As StringSet db = CurrentDb()itemCode = InputBox("Enter the Item Number", "Complete Catlog Prices")Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM [Catalog Prices Complete] WHERE Prefixprodno = '" & itemCode & "'", dbOpenDynaset)Do Until rst.EOF Me!txtCat = rst("Volume") 'error 02448 cannot assign to this 'Me!txtPrice = rst("Price") rst.MoveNextLooprst.CloseEnd Sub
I'm sure my text box is called txtCat though. Is it an array I should try to fill? If so, any suggestions :S
I've gotten rid of all the linked tables from my frontend, so I'm fetching all my data from the backend with VBA code.
This works splendidly until I got to creating reports!
I can populate the report detail with the below code, by opening a recordset and filling in the appropriate text boxes when the report calls the Format_Detail subroutine, but the problem is, that opening a report with no recordsource sets the FormatCount property to 0, so it only runs through the format_detail once. Setting the .nextrecord to FALSE allows as many sub calls as I need, but I can't figure out how to force the report to generate a new detail line! It's looping through all the records in the recordset, but it's only generating one line on the report
Any ideas?
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) On Error Resume Next
If tags.EOF = True Then
[txtfound] = tags.RecordCount tags.Close Set tags = Nothing Me.nextrecord = True Exit Sub
Set tags = backend.OpenRecordset("SELECT Tags.TagCode, Codes.Description, Count(Tags.TagCode) AS CountOfTagCode FROM Codes INNER JOIN Tags ON Codes.Code = Tags.TagCode GROUP BY Tags.TagCode, Codes.Description")
I have this on two slightly different reports, where only one line of the report is different. One report works fine, no problems. All the data is there. But on the second report I get the dreaded #Name? error.
I 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 an unbound combo box on a report that looks up to a table of address data.I have a specific requirement where if one of the bound fields on the report is a specific value, I want the combo box to show data. If the bound control on the report is a different value, I want the data in the combo box to be different.
I have tried using the OnOpen method, but it says I cannot assign a value to it.I have tried using the OnLoad procedure, but it doesn't show anything. the code is as follows:
Code: Private Sub Report_Load(Cancel As Integer) If Me.[Dispatch Type] = "Sent to A" Then Me.cboDispatchTo = 15 ElseIf Me.[Dispatch Type] = "Sent to B" Then Me.cboDispatchTo = 8 End If End Sub
I have a form that has a check box. If the box is checked then I would like the next field to be available for data entry, however, if the box is unchecked, then I wish for the next field to be grayed out and not available for data. I suspect that it is a simple bit of VBA, but I am not fluent in VBA and need help everytime, I find something new. Thanks for all your help.
i've created a dap that connects to a sql server database. It was working at one point but I've been moving the data around from server to server and finally ran into problems using the dap. The dap is used to hold information about different agents that my company writes business for.
For reasons unknown, the dap can view the records in the database, but cannot modify the records or create new records. The new & delete buttons in the navbar are gray. All the textboxes have readonly set to false.
I can use query analyzer to insert and delete records using the same user//pass as the dap. Anyone know why I can't modify this database?
I've recently tried exporting the database to an access file, deleting the sql database, recreate the sql db, and import from the access file.
I have 10 unbound textboxes with the Tag Name "LoopID" in my report. I have to display the "PatientNumbers" field from the table tblPatient in those text boxes. Below is my code.
When I run the report, I get the error message: Run-time error '2448.' You can't assign value to this object and the code "Ctl.Value = rst!LCANumber" is highlighted.
Private Sub Report_Current() Dim strSql As String Dim dbs As Database Dim rst As Recordset Dim x As Integer Dim Ctl As Control strSql = "Select PatientNumber from tblPatient"
I have a report that starts with an unbound form [Form1] which I need for the parameter inputs. Date1, Date2 and BillingMonth, all three are unbound controls. Date1 and Date2 are the criteria for the dates of billing and they work fine, that is, the query looks them up and the query runs fine. But I want to use the unbound control of BillingMonth to populate an unbound control in the report heading.
The control source is set as =[Forms]![Form1].[BillingMonth]; it works fine if the underlying [Form1] is still open. There is a command button on [Form1] that opens the report and then closes [Form1] since it is a pop-up form that is only used to get the criteria for the underling query; I don't want it to remain open when I run the report. However, the [BillingMonth] does not appear on the report heading. Just #Name?, which I assume means that since [Form1] is no longer open, it can't find the control [BillingMonth].
So, how can I get the [BillingMonth] to appear on the report heading?
