Simple Textbox Question (hopefully!)
Jan 24, 2006
Hi All
I cant seem to insert carrage returns into my text boxs. I have a form with
multiple large text boxs which stores the contents in a table under the datatype 'memo'. When I am in form view mode, I start writing text into a text box which is fine, but every time I press the return key the focus changes to another control. But I want the CR to be placed within the text box itself, is this possible? Anyone know how to do it?
Many Thanks,
Lee

Hi all,
I am experiencing problems trying to put together what I thought was a simple form that would
allow users to search for data from a field on one table and display the results in a data grid style from the query I have created. However the query is'nt working and I am sure it is because of the way I have coded the query to read from the form's textbox. The SQL code is below.
SELECT tblFiles.Vault, tblFiles.Wlt, tblFiles.CD, tblFiles.Media, tblFiles.ProjectNo, tblFiles.ProjName, tblFiles.FileName, tblFiles.Location, tblFiles.NetLoc, tblFiles.CreDate
FROM tblFiles
WHERE (((tblFiles.FileName)=[forms]![frmArchive].[txtprjname].[value]));
There is a value in that field as 'attachment' and if I type that in the textbox it will find the records that have exactly that string but if I type 'att' there are no results. I tried searching in help for 'Like' since I believe that is the problem with my code but it did not show me an example of how to code that in the query to refer to the object on the form.
the code I have on the button next to the unbound textbox is as follows...
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryFindPrjFile", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
Can anyone offer me any advice on how to do this?
Regards,
Mitch...

Hello,
I am still wet behind the ears in regard to Access so your help and support is much needed.
I have created a form in Access where i am having trouble with a textbox. In short this box is called [Shift] i want it to be populated by the result the system returns in another Textbox which is called [Time], this box is set up as Time().
So below is what i need it to do when the Form is used.
Textbox: [Time] = (07:00 - 14:59) would return "Earlies" in Textbox: [Shift]
Textbox: [Time] = (15:00 - 22:59) would return "Lates" in Textbox: [Shift]
Textbox: [Time] = (23:00 - 06:59) would return "Nights" in Textbox: [Shift]
I have tried the VBA below without success in this task so i can only assume it is due to the fact that the Time field is system generated or the fact it is in time format:
Private Sub Time_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Time >= "23:00 And < 06:59" Then
Me. Shift = "Nights"
End If
End Sub
Any Help you give is much needed, Thanks

Hi: There are two textboxs in my main form. One is bound and another is unbound. There is no entry in the unbound textbox as values come into automatically after entering some information in the subform. My question is how to i pass values from unbound textbox to bound textbox every time when the value change in unbound textbox i need to change the value in the bound textbox. When the form load there is already value in the bound textbox which i want to override based on the values from the unbound textbox.
Thank You.

I have a text box on 'Forma' & a textbox (named text3) on 'Formb'.
I want to copy the contents of the textbox from 'Formb' to the textbox on 'Forma'. I have used the following code in the textbox on 'Forma'....
=Forms![Formb]![Text3].text
This doesn't seem to be working whether both Forms are open or only 'Forma'. Could somebody please advise as to what I am missing. Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Dear All:
I have created a form using access 2000. So far, this form already has data and dates in a combox in this format: mm/dd/yyyy.
In the AfterUpdate of the date combobox, I did this:
If graduation_date = #2/1/2004# then
Text_Graduation_date = "dated this first day of february two thousand four."
End If
End Sub
In addition, I have defined many other dates as well using the code above. It works well when I choose the date form the combobox, the other textbox populates, but there are so many more dates in the combo!
Is there a way to auto-populate the textbox with the appropriate text as I scroll through the form?
Thanks,
Dion

I currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.

Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?

Dear All:
I have created a form with various textboxes. In one unbound textbox called Graduation_date, I input information and this is reflected in another bound textbox called text762.
However, as I scroll through the form, the information that is to be reflected in textbox 762 disappears.
Any ideas on how to apply the information entered in Graduation_date textbox to all?

Dion

Hi,
I have looked at some of the threads here and it is clear that many of you are working on a much higher level than me and with a high degree of familiarity with the programme.
I am hoping that someone here is able to give me some advice as I don't find the MS help files digestible.
The task I have is to join 2 databases and produce a table from which I can run a mailmerge.
I have managed to join the 2 databases and I used a customer ID as a common link. (my apologies if the terminology is incorrect)
I now have all the data I require in one table.
THE PROBLEMs I have multiple entries for some of my customers and would like to reduce this to single entries (which is understandable). Please tell me how to do this if you can, and keep it as simple as you can please.
In anticipation I thank you very much.
:-)

Not sure what the issue is here but i am trying to append a Job number from a main database into two connected databases.
The number is a sequential number i have created and the primary key.
It is an autonumber field(obviously). The format is J0000 and the numbers start from J0001
I am using two different append queries to append them into the external databases tables.
However (and here i think lies the problem) the fields i am inserting them into are text fields with the same format J0000.
When i view the numbers in these tables, they are displayed as J1 or J9. The 0's are missing.
Any ideas.
Thank you in advance

Hey guys, I'm just wondering how I could limit a field to using from 2 - 20 letters. If I placed the letter "a", I'd get an error saying how at least 2 letters must be there, and a maximum of 20. How would I do this?
Lastly, how can I make it so when I enter data into a form, I can click a button which adds it all into the table?
When I do it normally, it's automatically transferred into the table as I type it into the form.
This is incredibly simple I know, but I am a n00b at Access. ^_^
Thanks guys.

OK, I have a strange problem... This doesn't seem to work..... It did... then I made some changes.... Can someone clue me in on what I am doing wrong? A query, simply summing some values in fields... no biggy...... BUT...
The field
TotalHours: ([SundayHours]+[MondayHours]+[TuesdayHours]+[WednesdayHours]+[ThursdayHours]+[FridayHours]+[SaturdayHours])
So why isn't this working?
Can I use a simple VBA statement to sum these fields?
:confused:

I am trying to create an IN query (ACCESS) which will firstly show the customers table (specific details) then the orders details should be in the IN query, I formulated this but it won't work:
SELECT s.CustomerID, Address, City, PostalCode
FROM Customers s
WHERE
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1996')
AND
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1997');
Here is the one I did to show the customers and orders who made orders in 1996 and 97:
SELECT Customers.CustomerID AS Customers_CustomerID, Orders.CustomerID AS Orders_CustomerID, Customers.Address, Customers.City, Customers.PostalCode, Orders.OrderID, Orders.OrderDate
FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
WHERE (((Orders.OrderDate) Between #1/1/1996# And #12/31/1997#));
it is probably something simple I am missing here! Sorry to keep asking :(

but I can't seem to figure it out. All I get is Null values when I run the query.
I have a form with a start text box and a end text box. I use the form name sucessfully in the criteria row so I know there is no problem with the form name. I also know there is no problem with the qry name. Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong?!?!
The query I am working in is labeled [qry_old_summary_date_range]. Just wanted to clarify that is not a problem.
1st Pay Increase: IIf([qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]>=[Forms]![Human Resources]![Start] And [qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]<=[Forms]![Human Resources]![End],[qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase],Null)

and presumably it's only me who's irgorant.
I have a table with dates of deadlines and another with dates of submissions. For each deadline I want to know who submitted first. I figured that all I had to do was compute the difference between the dates and the select the minimum. However, Access rejects the Min() function in the WHERE clause. How do I avoid this?
Thanks a lot !!

I have a table (imported from excel) that is a pricing grid for blinds. The header row at the top is widths(mm) and the header row down the left is heights(mm). The data is the price. The import process makes the widths the column names.
height 600 800 1200 ...
300 $60 $80 $100
600 $80 $100 $120
900 $120 $140 $160
.
.
all I want to do is to take that table and make it flattened, like this:
height width price
300 600 $60
300 800 $80
300 1200 $100
600 600 $80
600 800 $100
600 1200 $120
900 600 $120
900 800 $140
900 1200 $160
I can't think how to do this in a query - I could take the flat version and create a crosstab to go the other way. Any clues - I don't want to change too much about the way the imported excel file looks becasue I have no control over that (I already discard miscellaneous heading and junk before I import it)
Hope you can help

My Brain has completely lost all of it's gray matter.
I have two tables tbl_Employers and tbl_Services that are linked via a one to many relationship. Each Employer can have Many Services. The field i am useing in the relationship is EmployerID
If I build a simple select query using these tables I will see all of the employers that have a related record in the services table. Any employer could be listed there many times as per the relationship.
What i want is a simple count of how many employers actually have recieved a service.
Why is this so difficult for me to get my head around.
