I have two fields set up on a form, when the user double clicks in field 1, the text that was in Field 1 then moves to field 2. The issue is that the text in field 2 only retains the most recent text change - overwriting the text that was in field 2 previously. How do i make it so that every time the text moves to field 2, that it keeps a running history of the text?
View RepliesI have a button on-click action of:
Code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Bladereport", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", , True, "", , acExportQualityPrint
It works perfectly with the box appearing to choose the directory and file name, having done this it then outputs perfectly.
However if you choose cancel at the file and directory selector box it crashes:
Run-time error '2501':
The OutputTo action was cancelled.
I'd like a confirm dialog to appear on button click, so when the user clicks 'yes', the on click event should continue and when the user click 'no', the event should stop.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a DB containing over 4 million rows of data, each with a SALES_PERIOD based on YYMM. Our Developers set it up as Text, and index this item accordingly, I would like to format as numeric with the lead zero to allow quicker indexing, but when I format it it returns to text this is the formula I use?
Format((Val([SALES_PERIOD])), "0000")
I have 480 textboxes in my form. What I am looking to do, is that any time any of thest textboxes are clicked (or double clicked) I want to then get the name of that textbox saved into a variable.
So I have created a public variable called tbName.
What I need is this:
- if the active control is a textbox then
- tbname = active control name.
It is important that I dont just take the active control name all the time as I want all controls other than textboxes to be igored. Secondly, under what event would I even put the code? Would it be the form Click event?

I'm trying to set-up a database that will allow the user to navigate around by clicking but having a bit of trouble.
I was wondering if there is anyway to capture the text that you click (if you make it a hyperlink or something) so that you can use it as the parameter in a query or something?
Any help would be absolutely fantastic.
Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a textbox which I need to refresh when my Query is refreshed. Currently I only have the ability to requery with a Button but when that button is pushed I also want a text box to be refreshed. This is what I have currently in my On Click property of the requery button:

I have a form that has a remarks textbox. Depending on the options, the form will write something in that textbox. Now I want to have other options (check boxs) that I can click on which will add to that remarks textbox.

If Me.Check27 Then
Me.Remarks = ("Shipping Box/Container")
Else
Me.Remarks = ""

I have a unbound text box being used as a label. In the control source of the text box I have a date ie. =#12/31/2008#. I am using this date for criteria in a dsum function, so whatever date is in this field effects the data being displayed. I need to be able to have the user edit this date when necessary. I created another unbound text box and put the following code in the after update: Me.ReestDate.ControlSource = "=#" & Me.EnterReestDate & "#"
This is working as it is displaying the correct change. My problem is that the control does not retain the date. When I exit out and go back in, the original date is still there. Is there some code that will save the field after I update it? Or maybe another suggestion to do what I need.
Thanks

I have a text box on my form which I use to attach hyperlinks to pdf's, this works great but after inserting a hyperlink nothing is displayed in the text box to show it has been linked unlike using attachment, the only way I know if that a hyperlink is placed is to right click and go to hyperlink and then open, is there a way to show the link on the text box and just double click on it to open the pdf. I am trying this as the size of the database will far exceed the 2gb that access allows if I just use attachments , even if I split the database (over 10000 pdfs )
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.
My form used to work and as I kept adding event scripts now when I click on the ID text field, it doesn't open the linked record, but a blank record with 'Filtered' showing on the bottom navigation. I guess a question I have is,
-is there an order on which the procedure scripts run
-do they all run everytime, or just the specific event script
===================================
Private Sub Company_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm Company", , , "[ID] = " & [ID]
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCompanyDirectory"
End Sub

I used to have code on a button on the "frmCompanyDirectory" that added a new record to "frm Company" and that's when the ID = ID stopped working.
I know how to do an action on doubleclick or mouseover but I want some simple text to come up, possibly with a white background behind it that has some details about the specific production number that the user is clicking on. Is there something like this? I tried a dialog but it brings up an ugly form, I just want the text or something simple. Can this be done?

How to code this button so it creates a new record while retaining information such as a serial number. So if you pull up the item check out its past service. then you want to click a "new entry" button but you want the serial number to remain in the field.
What I got so far is:
Private Sub BtnAdd_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_BtnAdd_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Exit_BtnAdd_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_BtnAdd_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_BtnAdd_Click
End Sub
But obviously it erases the serial number.
The field is txtSerialNumber and the control source is SerialNumber.
Trying to pull information from a text box on double click to populate a combobox on another form...
keeps coming up "type mismatch"
I call lngAccount as recognised on mouseover... ("Business Account" is the value I want)
I can't get it to work!
For info, the form I'm calling from is a subform located FrmMainMenu/FrmAccountsMainMenu and the control source is [Account]
the form I wish to populate in on FrmTransactions (it is a main form only) and the combobox is cboaccountselect - **I've seen the obvious mistake with no reference to this whatsoever, corrected it, and still not working**
I have some code for a button on click event to open a form and select the record which corresponds to a value in an unbound text box. The code is:

On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click

Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmOpenPatientRecord"
[Code] ....
This works fine when I put in a 10 digit NHS number but opens a blank record when I enter a four digit or six character/digit PatientNumber. Both patient number and NHS number are text fields in the underlying table.
Newbie here,
i have two tables with 3 fields in each (code, Description and amount)
what i need to do is join these two together to show data from both tables (some of the
data in fields one and two will be identical, but the third fields in both
tables will need separate entries for each table)
the primary key would be the first field (code) ysee, the original table has been updated
by a n other, some codes and descriptions changed for others so, i would like to end up with
feild one, all codes from both tables, field two,
all descriptions matched to codes from both tables,
field three numbers matching from first table, field
four numbers matching from second table.
is this a possibility?
please help...loosing hair!

After choosing a dropdown value and filing in other required fields, I click Add Record. Is there a way to retain the same value in the dropdown list assuming it will often be the SAME AS dropdown value (e.g., the same customer) of the record I just added?

I want to be able to invoke a form from a main form that allows me to add, delete or amend records in a table related to the one updated by the main form.
As many details records are being updated, I want to retain the value of a couple of foreign keys (but be able to amend them if required) based on the value of the previous record.
I have looked at the Dlookup function and wonder if this is what I should be using. If it is, I am having trouble trying to understand how you could differentiate between the first invocation of the pop up form and any subsequent table entries. The way I understand this function is that to get the value of the previous record in the table you use "ID-1", but this would almost certainly lead to an error for records being updated for a new master record, or if the table happended to be empty then there would be no ID-1 record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
hi,
i have a form that uses combo boxes for entry, some of the combo box entries are dependent on preceding combo box selections.
i have managed to make the combo boxes present options based on the previous selections, but am finding that after i move on to another record, some of the combo box entries are not being retained or stored in the record.
It happens only on some records and sometimes when I return to it again the selections are there even though on a previous ocassion they were not.
Can anyone suggest what may be causing this?

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Access and have just created a database and am wanting the database to calculate the total of two fields and store this information in the underlying table.
Example:-
Field 1 - £10
Field 2 - £15
Field 3 - TOTAL of above - I have used the calculation =([Field 1]+[Field 2])
This works fine in my form but the total value doesn't fall through to the table. It is just blank.
I am using Access 97 and wonder if this is somehow possible. I have attached a screen shot of the properties for this field (which is called 'Total' in the underlying table).
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dean.
