Setting A Title?
Mar 25, 2005I know that you can change the title of your application in the startup options in Access.
But can it also be done by vba code at runtime?

Modules & VBA :: Generate Report For A Test And Answer Sheet - Setting Title?
Oct 15, 2013I'm using VBA code to open a query, generate a report for a test and an answersheet. I'm using the same report, and don't want to make many reports. I have the below code which runs my query, and generates the reports.
Private Sub Command2_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.OpenReport "WrittenExam", acViewPreview, "", "", acNormal
DoCmd.OpenReport "WrittenExamAnswerSheet", acViewPreview, "", "", acNormal
End Sub
I have a need to be able to set the report title for both reports when running my code.
Not Even Sure How To Title This One! :)
Apr 3, 2008I will try to explain what I have, but for a little more information please see the thread where I was trying to get a single instance of this query to run: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=146582
This above thread was to allow users to select a valid month from a "quota" table of data to compile work data for that particular month. The way this all works is I delete a history table, append the data from my work table, and then add the data from a quota table. Each time a user runs this report, those three queries run dependant on the month selected. At the bottom of this report I sum up the columns to give an overall total for production numbers. The table is set up as:
For MMM YY (selected)
Item........Repaired......Quota
widget1........1...............3
widget2........2...............0
widget3........6...............4
widget4........2...............2
Now what I need to be able to do is to retrieve all these totals at once; so that the numbers can be graphed by month. This history table that is built is not perminantly stored; since all the 'data' for it is contained throughout a couple other tables. I didn't see a reason to need to store 'all' that data again since it could be retrieved as needed.
Is it possible to write a query that will run this process for all distinct dates in the quota table and sum the data for repairs and quotas? Something like this:
Date.........Repairs........Quota
MMM YY.......18..............8
MMM YY.......27..............10
MMM YY.......16..............18
Or have I bitten off more than I can chew :)
Put A Table Value In The Title Bar
Oct 9, 2006Hi,
I want to put a value from a field in a table in the Title Bar.
So far i have done (Looking at 2 ways to create, 1 with module below or directly in the form, only just lloking at the module way so is not finished as i am waiting to get it to work directly first):
Module
Option Compare Database
Function ChangeTitle()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim prp As DAO.Property
Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
' Return Database variable pointing to current database.
Set dbs = CurrentDb
' Change title bar.
dbs.Properties!AppTitle = "DYSMS " & (SoftwareVersion.tblSoftwareInformation)
' Update title bar on screen.
Application.RefreshTitleBar
Exit Function
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = conPropNotFoundError Then
Set prp = dbs.CreateProperty("AppTitle", dbText, _
SoftwareVersion.tblSoftwareInformation)
dbs.Properties.Append prp
Else
MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End If
Resume Next
End Function
Directly
Does not work
Dim stAppTitle As String
stAppTitle = "DYSMS " & (SoftwareVersion.tblSoftwareInformation)
Me.Caption = stAppTitle
Does work
Dim stAppTitle As String
stAppTitle = "DYSMS " & (Now())
Me.Caption = stAppTitle
So need to declare the SoftwareVersion field i guess??
Thanks

Column Title
Mar 10, 2006For Access 2003 - is there a way to stack one word on top of another when you rename a column? So, instead of having two words side by side for a column title, is there a way to put one on top of the other?
For example - change from this "today's date" to "today's
date"
Thanks
Title At Top Of Form?
Feb 23, 2005This should hopefully be an easy one for somebody:
How can I not display the title of any opened form at the very top of the screen. I would prefer to have the switchboard title remaining visible instead of the form title.
For example I have a form called 'frmPC' so the top of the screen shows 'frmPC : Form' when the form is open.
Anyone?
Much appreciated,
Paul

Mar 21, 2005i have a form, and i would like that on one of the fields, as soon as i type something in it when i leave the field, i want it to automatically convert it to title case. can this be done please?

Window Title Vs. File Name?
May 30, 2007I have an *.mdb file with a bunch of tables, queries, forms, macro's etc. The file is named "xxx" but the display in the top left hand corner of the access window (next to the red key) is "yyy". I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find where this information is stored - as I need to change the "yyy" to match the filename "xxx" (the *.mdb was originally used for something else). Anyone know where this info is stored or how to change it?
Thanks in advance to those who respond!
Group Columns Under One Title
Jun 23, 2007This is the table:
ID | Item | 2/2/07 | 3/2/07 | 5/3/07 | 7/3/07
---------------------------------------------------------
101Tap10152010
102Ply25201010
Note that 2/2/07 till 7/3/07 are field names having purchase quantity.
Now I want the query to show something like this:
ID Item <----Feb------> <-----Mar------>
2/2/07 | 3/2/07 | 5/3/07 | 7/3/07
---------------------------------------------------------
101Tap10152010
102Ply25201010
I want the two columns 2/2/07 & 3/2/07 to be combined under one field name 'Feb'. Similarly for 'Mar', combine 5/3/07 & 7/3/07.
Open attachments to have a clearer picture.
Please help me out over here.
Query Title When Printed
Apr 23, 2008I have a cross_tab query, that users print on a monthly basis.
The user selects whether they want to include data for one or all of three products. So the query could show data for example for Salmon only.
I need to be able to show on the printed query, what products it is displaying for. At the moment the query is called "TotalxProccessor_Product". Once the query is printed there is no way to tell if it is for Mussels, Salmon, Oysters or all three products.
Is there an easy way to manipulate the title the query prints our with?
Or do I have to go through a report to have control?
Email: Subject Title
Mar 11, 2005Does anyone know how to put in a file reference number automatically into the subject bar of an email?
This is the code that i am currently using:
On Error GoTo Err_Handler

If [CboExport] = "Today" Then
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb
'Create Recordset
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblAT.FileNr, tblAT.RefDate " & _
"FROM tblAT " & _
"WHERE (((tblAT.RefDate)=Date()));", dbOpenDynaset)
'Check to see if there has been records recorded today
If rst.EOF = True And rst.BOF = True Then
Beep
MsgBox "THERE ARE NO RECORDS WITH TODAYS DATE, REFER TO SPECIFIC DATE."
rst.Close
Set db = Nothing
Exit Sub
End If
'Export query as MS EXCELL
DoCmd.SendObject acSendQuery, "qryTodaysDate", acFormatXLS, company@somewhere.com, myboss@somewhere.com, , "File reference number ?????????"The following file is the latest extract from me as at " & Date & "."

What Event Is Associated With The Cancel Box In The Title Bar?
Mar 3, 2006Hard to search for ths really, but I have a form with two buttons: Save and Exit.
Save saves the current record
Exit does an Undo if the form is .Dirty
If I cancel from the title bar, then the records are saved and the Close event is activated.
What I need is to detect if the Cancel box was clicked so that I can do an Unload before the form closes
TIA
Liam
btw, I'm getting the hang of this. It's a lot different from mainframe Cobol but it's fun to learn new stuff.
Cannot Change Column Title
Nov 12, 2012I'm using Access 2010. After creating a new database the standard screen appears that contains a grid to enter data and across the top of that grid is a row which is supposed to contain column titles. According to Microsoft Access all I have to do is double-click the column title so that I can set it to whatever text I want. the cursor remains in the next row assuming I want to enter some data. Why can't I change column titles from their default values?
View 3 Replies View RelatedNeed More Than 64 Characters In Title Field
Oct 24, 2014Any workaround so that I can place more characters than the 64 limited in a field header.
In essence, I need to export a text or CSV file from Access every day, and the row header for the first column (i.e, in cell A1 if opened in excel) needs to read:
"Action (SiteID=US|Country=US|Currency=USD|ListingType=Hal f|Location=US|ListingDuration=GTC)"
I am currently unable to have a field header with that length, because Access does not allow my table header to be more than 64 characters.
Changing The Title On Error Message Box
May 5, 2006I saw the solution to this on this forum a while back but no matter what I search under I cant seem to find it again!
Can someone remind me how to change the Title of the error message boxes I can change the error message - by changing the Err.Description - but how do you replace the 'Microsoft Office Access' with your own Title?
I am running Access 2003 on XP.
Importing CSV W/report Title Stripped Out..
Nov 14, 2006I need to import a .csv file into a table. The problem is the top title information is on the file, like below. I do not want to import report name, report date, include rows, number of rows, and the blank space. I need to start the import on the header row. This looks fine in excel of course, but when i need to import it into access, there is no need for it. How do i either strip that out during the import or skip it.
sample csv file:
----------------------------------------------------
Report name: xxxxxx
Report date: xxx
Include rows where.....
Number of row: xxxx
date,firstname,lastname,dollar,address,text
10/4,john,smith,888,12 w st,,
10/4,jane,smith,7575,34 w st,,
----------------------------------------------------
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Reports With Date Range In The Title
Nov 2, 2004I have a report called rpt_date_range it is based off of the query qry_date_range.
qry_date_range has "Between [Start Date] And [End Date]" in the criteria for the date field.
In the report header, I have the title "All records from [Start Date] to [End Date]"
What I want to do is to take what is entered into the [Start Date] and [End Date] and put that into the title in the report header. At the moment, I don't know how.
Thanks in advance
Modules & VBA :: Set / Change Application Title
Jul 27, 2015 I can change the application title using the following only if the Application Title is blank. If it is not blank then it does not change.
Code:

newtitle = "qwerty"
Set newtitle = db.CreateProperty("AppTitle", dbText, strNewTitle)
db.Properties.Append newtitle
Application.RefreshTitleBar
Reports :: Report To PDF With Custom Title
Oct 15, 2013I am using the built in Access macro editor to run a number of reports which are called for arguments sake ClientPartA, ClientPartB etc..My macro so far simply opens on a button click each of these reports and populates a number of text fields (all this is working fine)
Where my problem lies is I then want to export each of these reports to a central network location "L:Operations DatabaseProjects1042Outputfile. I have been using the command 'ExportWithFormatting' and have filled out the macro element with;
Object Type: Report
Object Name ClientPartA
Output Format: PDF Format (*.Pdf)
Output File: L:Operations DatabaseProjects1042Outputfile
Auto Start: No
Template File (no info)
Encoding (no info)
Output Quality Print
Now all my data is pulling from a form called 'Client' and the field 'RecipientsAccountNumber'..I thought I would be able to export the file(s) as PDF with the output file being written as;
Output File: L:Operations DatabaseProjects1042Outputfile Forms![Client]![RecipientsAccountNumber] & " - ClientPartA"
saving the form to the named directory as '300300300 - ClientPartA'..What in reality is happening is it's saving the file to the named directory not as a PDF and with the file name of 'Forms![Client]![RecipientsAccountNumber]
