Right Aligning Text For Fields In List Box Control
Feb 23, 2014
I would like to right align my text for some fields in my list box control. Is there a better list box control out there than the standard one ? how to align the text. The default left alignment doesn't work for all my fields.I tried to search but came up empty.I did try a function "Justify String" I found on the internet This is what I tried .. Call JustifyString("frmExercise","List16",ExerciseTime, 2,True,False)
Here is info from the actual function.
Function JustifyString(myform As String, myctl As String, myfield As Variant, _col As Integer, RightOrCenter As Integer, Optional Sform As String = "") As Variant
Is there anyway to change the justification of text in a table heading on in the contents? I've searched high and low for an answer but can't find it. Also, can a table heading have different text & colour than the table contents? Thanks.
How do I get my labels and controls to line up vertically? If I click on align and up or down, they all get moved on top of each other with no spaces inbetween them. I want an equal amount of space inbetween them. How do I do this?
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
Does anyone know if it's possible to make the column heads, column count, column width properties of a list box fit automatically according to the text they hold?

I have a form (frmHourEnter) with a combo box (Staff_ID) that lists staff members from a table (tblStaff).

If the checkbox is checked how do I exclude that staff member from the combo box Staff_ID in the form frmHourEnter?
I have a combobox with a value list as the control source. I have a user who clicks the drop-down, but there are no options. Every other user is able to view these options, and this user has no problem with any other combobox with a value list.
I have a Table with a short text field, field size: 20. The row source has been set up ie "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", etc. Allow multiple values IS allowed.Once I drop a control on a form (list box) to represent the aforementioned field, I realize I can put a checkmark in many items. Why? I add up the total length of the items text at 40-50 characters, yet the field size is only 20. To check my sanity, I open the Table in Datasheet view and lo, I can see all the Items spelled out, in clear violation of field size constraints

A user enters a New Job Opening into the form for New Job Opening. Later, a user enters a New Interview in the New Interview form.... when they enter the job opening number into the job opening number field, it auto-populates the other information previously entered into the New Job Opening form into an area within the New Interview form. I have made sure the new field is in the table for the New Job Openings table.
I want a List Box on a Form that takes its available drop-down values from tblDiscipline and puts the value selected into the Discipline Field of tblEquipment.
The problem is I set the Control Source of the List Box to tblDiscipline (so the List Box can use these values for the drop-down selections) and when I make a selection it tries to put it back into tblDiscipline instead of tblEquipment, because I can't find anywhere to set the table that the result should be Bound to.
How can I set up a control, such as a List Box, so that it gets its values from one table but returns them to another?
I have a form called Add New Delegation, i have combo box of Institution names on the main form and a subform for Agreements discussed. with a combo box called agreements.

However i am unable to refresh the list each time a new institution is selected as the Macro will not allow me to requery a control on the mainform from the subform..
I have come up with another one that may be easy for you.
I have a form that has a list box with two fields in the table. Call the table: STATE TABLE1 Call the first field: STATE NUMBER 1 Call the next field: STATE NAME 1
When I access the list box on the form, I have it so I can see the States Name(STATE NAME1) and I click on it and the (STATE NUMBER 1) is place in another table called: INVENTORY2 in the STATE#2 field. That works all well and good.
I would like to be able to continue this, at the same time I select the (STATE NAME 1) on the list box. I also want to place (STATE NAME 1) into the INVENTORY2 TABLE in another field call (STATE NAME2)
I was going to write an expression to do this but had trouble with finding the STATE NAME 1 field.
I am sure there is an easier way.

This is a very simple problem, and it seems to me like it should work but it doesn't. On my form, I have a field called [mindate], which looks up the earliest date from a table. I also have a field called [maxdate] which looks up the latest date in my table. These both work great. My third text box [difference] is supposed to find the difference between the two above dates in days, but it doesn't work.:eek: The control source of this [difference] text box is this:
Hi, I have a form that has 2 Calendar Controls that is used to select a Start Date and an End Date. I then have some code that will enter all the dates inbetween into the database.
One thing I would like to have on the form, is when the users selects a date from each calendar. The date is displayed in a text box under it. Just to have a visual double check to make sure they selected the right month/day/year before they hit the submit button.
Anyone know what code I would need to put in my form to make it do this?
