I am wanting to insert a Barcode ActiveX control, but it is not listed. In an instruction video, after clicking on ActiveX Controls, the one named "ABarcode ActiveX" is at the top of the list.=how I can obtain this.
View RepliesI am using a barcode font in order to generate a number as a barcode on my report records. In order for my barcode scanner to read the barcode it needs an asterisk at the beginning and at the end.
So, if my record ID is 62 - in order for the barcode to be displayed correctly, it needs to be on the report as *62* .
Without digressing into a discussion on barcode methods in Access, how can I precede and succeed each ID number field with an asterisks?
Any way to insert a half-line feed into text in a control?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?

Hi,
I have a form with an ActiveX Control for Media Player 10. The player works ok, but if I try to close the form using the PlayStateChange Event, Access crashes out to the 'Send Report To Microsoft' window.
This is the code:-
Private Sub WindowsMediaPlayer0_PlayStateChange(ByVal Newstate As Long)
If Newstate = 8 Then
DoCmd.Close
End If
End Sub
This is looking for the end of the current media file, but I get the same problem if I look for Newstate = 1, the stop button being pressed.
However, if I put the DoCmd.Close command behind a command button, the form closes as normal.
Any ideas?
I just installed Office 2007 and I get this error whenever I start MS Access 2007.
"A problem occured while Microsoft Office Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control"
What could it be? I don't have any antivirus appz or such that could interfere, and my Windows XP+SP2 is updated daily.
I'm using Access 2003. In "References" (Tools > References > Browse...), I've added in "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6)" (c:windowssystem32mscomctl.ocx).
I've then created/inserted an instance of the control "Microsoft ListView Control 6.0 (SP6)" on a Form ("MyForm") and given the listvew control the Name "MyListView".I wanted to decorate MyListView with some custom methods so I've created a new class module ("DecoratedListView") which contains a member field called "lvw".
I want 'lvw' to point/reference to MyListView, but I don't know what reference type to use in its declaration. Importantly, I also want to capture lvw's ColumnClick event.
I've tried:
Code:
Public WithEvents lvw As Object
Public WithEvents lvw As Control
Public WithEvents lvw As MSComctlLib.ListView.2
Public WithEvents lvw As MSComctlLib.ListView
Public WithEvents lvw As CustomControl
and none works when I
Code:
set lvw = Forms!MyForm.MyListView
The first try (Object) doesn't even compile. I get the exception "Expected: identifier"
The second try (Control) doesn't compile either. I get the exception "Object does not source automation events"
The third try (MSComctlLib.ListView.2) doesn't compile and throws the exception "Expected: end of statement"
The fourth try (MSComctlLib.ListView) compiles but fails at runtime with the exception "Type mismatch". Using TYPENAME() on the control returns "CustomControl".
The fifth try (CustomControl) compiles but fails at runtime with the exception "Object or class does not support the set of events".
I can't believe I'm the first person to have tried to capture an ActiveX Control's events in a separate class.
I am using an active x control that when you right click on it, it automatically pops up an "About" box showing information about the control. I wouldn't object to this, but I need to use the right mouse down event for another purpose in my program. So far I have discovered that the code I put in the the event works, but only after the "About" box pops up. Is there anyway to cancel or prevent the popup? The reason that I need the right mouse down event is because is that I am already using the left mouse double click event, and I can't use the left mouse down event because then it always fires before the left mouse double click event. This control doesn't have any single click events. Ideas?

This problem has been causing to pull my hair out all morning, so any help would be most welcome.
The business I work for hired a contractor to produce a database, he did a great job and it looks very professional, but he used an ActiveX control to display four months at once, it is a fairly common control but it seems it is not included in the Image for the workstations here (it will be soon).
The OLE class is called MSComCtl2.MonthView.2 and I remembered using the date time picker control (MSComCtl2.DTPicker.2) and I figured that it would make sense if it was in the same ActiveX control, so I registered Mscomct2.ocx and yes, it does contain the right class... but it still didn't work. I found a second control package which also included the class, comct232.ocx (older but it should work) and finally, both of them together do work... for all but one user. It isn't the workstation, anyone else logging into that workstation has no problems.
The problem cropping up is the "control has no object" error and it suggests that I unregister then re-register the OLE server (which is another word for the .ocx files for those not in the know) which I did, and it complains about a missing reference to C:WINNTsystem32Mscomct2.ocx if you look at the references in the VBE editor which makes very little sense to me.
The users do not have admin rights to there computers, but I'm thinking of temporarily adding the user to the admin group (on her computer only obviously) and un-registering then re-registering the control there. That seens abit extreme, and it should just work!
This is driving me nuts, anyone know what I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using the calender control 11.0. By this calender I can only set the date year, month and day. I can not set the clock time:Hours, minutes and seconds.

I have a form and report created in Access 2010 that contain an ActiveX Control.
When the form or report is printed the ActiveX Control appears but is cropped up to the top left corner.
Im trying to add a barcode to a report which I can scan with a barcode scanner. I have downloaded A code39 TrueType font and created a textbox and have put the following in the Data, Control source
Code:
="*" & [Barcode] & "*"
but when I print out the report its only converting the field barcode to a code 39 barcode and leaving "*" at either side of it. I know its not the font as if I open note pad, select the font and enter *1234* all is converted to a scanable barcode.
I want to be able to put a barcode in a field that when a reader scans the barcode it records the current time. Need it for access control to record who is in and out of the office. Reading other threads I understand it may be possible in Dlookup.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have an ActiveX grid control, 10Tec iGrid, written in VB6. One of its method, Group, used to group rows, raises the AfterAutoGroupRowCreated event so the developer can adjust the look and contents of every group row created during the automatic process of grouping.
When our ActiveX grid is hosted on an MS Access form and we call the Group method while populating the grid in the form's Open event, the AfterAutoGroupRowCreated event isn't triggered. But this event definitely works as expected in other development environments, and even in MS Access if we call Group from the form's Load event.
Is it a well know issue of MS Access, when any events of ActiveX controls aren't triggered while "executing" the Open event
I am trying to add a barcode to a report of mine that I can then scan in order to escape/close that report. The reason for this is my work station will not have a keyboard. The user will simply scan a work order number, this will bring up a report on screen with work order detail. Then to get back to main screen to scan next work order I need to be able to escape/close the current report without using a keyboard.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 am getting the following error when connecting Crystal reports with MS Access.

Logon failed.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x

I have select following options in crystal report -> select OLEDB (ADO) , database name as filename.mdb , db type as Access.
I am creating a database that people can upload links to pictures within the database. (I do not want them to upload the pictures themselves because I am afraid the data will get to large - or am I misunderstanding how pictures are added to a database in access?) Now I want to be able to put those pictures in some reports.
Questions:
1) is it possible to insert a picture from a link (instead of an attached picture)?
2) If not would it work if I uploaded the picture to the database?
3) Am I incorrect about the way access deals with uploaded pictures? Does it just save a link or does it actually upload a picture into the database making it that much larger?
I've got a form, user inputs a whole bunch of data and the data is stored into 2 different tables (using a form and subform), however i also need to copy a few fields from the subform into another table (as a new record) the table i intend to insert this data into (tblAdjustments) has four fields (that im interested in) Type, Reason, Quantity and Product (not the exact names) Type and reason are both just straight strings and will be the same each time, regardless of what the other two variables are, so i need type to equal "Finished Goods" and Reason to equal Produced further to that, the subfrom has 2 fields, batchPackedQTY (which will be quantity in the new table) and fgID (product in the new table
so i need an insert into statement that does this, ive tried INSERT INTO tblAdjustment (adjType, adjReason, fgID, adjQTY) ("Finished Goods", "Produced", Forms!SubFormBatches.fgID, Forms!SubformBatches.batchPackedQTY)
I have tab controls, each of which holds a report. If the report is longer than the tab control the report is stuck there. no slide bars, no overflow. I have set scroll bars but they dont seem to take or work. I need to find a way to add verticle scroll bars to the reports within the tab controls so that you can view the entire report. I have included a screen print of what I mean.
