Tab Control Display Problem

Jun 22, 2007

I have a form that I have set up that uses a tab control. I have set the background color of the form to blue and have set the back style property of the tab control to transparent. On some users computer that tab control is transparent, but on some other users computer the tab control is the default gray. I don’t know of any settings on the users computers that could cause the tab control to loose it’s transparency.

Can anyone help me? Why would the tab control display differently on different computers, normal on some and transparent on others?

Forms :: Web Browser Control Inside A Tab Control Display

Jun 18, 2014

I have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.

Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.

This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.

I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.

See the attached image ...

Display Data In A Control

Dec 5, 2005

Hopefully a simple one that is eluding me at the moment.
I have a control on a sub form that refers to a value on another subform. When I enter data in the controls subform it will display the correct answer. However, when I close the form and return to it later the control is blank and will only display the answer if I go into another field on the form and make a modification to the data. It seems that the control will only calculate on an after update event but I need it to be visible at all times when the form is open. I have tried requery on open and on load with no effect.
Any thoughts out there?

Thanks

Form Bound Control Display

Dec 5, 2012

I'm trying to change the display of a bound control on a form to a linked field in another table. Seems like it should be easy to do; I just can't figure it out.

The bound column is [StudentEnrollment]![AnnualClassNumberID] and is linked to a table called AnnualClassNumbers. The field I want to display is the ClassNumber from the is the AnnualClassNumbers table.

Display Control Source OR Default Value In Textbox

Aug 31, 2005

Table1 has field (% Completed this Period) that may contain a value, or may be NULL for each entry, depending on how much work was performed that period. The records are sorted by date.

Form1 has a textbox that basically keeps a running tally of "% Completed to Date" by summing the "% Completed this Period" for the current period and all previous periods. So, my Control Source for the textbox is the DSum(...) function.

The problem is this: If I am looking at the first record and there is a 0 (null) value for "% Completed this Period," (i.e. No work was completed that period), I want to display 0 on Form1. However, Access just displays nothing - a blank textbox. I tried making a default value, but nothing will show up since I already have a Control Source set for that field. If I take the DSum function out of the Control Source, then the 0 will show up. But, obviously that defeats the whole purpose of the textbox. I guess I'm trying to figure out how to display the DSum value IF it is something other than 0, BUT IF IT IS 0, then I want 0 to be displayed. Any help would be appreciated.

Need A Combo Box To Display Different Lists Depending On A Control

Dec 1, 2005

Hi, I'm not sure how to write something and would like assistance. The form is taken from a table and then there are two diffenterent forms displayed as datasheets within, on tab controls. I have a combo box taken from a query on each form and would like the combo box to display a certain list if the control on the form (the bit taken from the table) has a P in it, a different list if the control has an R in it or to display the whole list if the control has a B in it. Trouble is, I'm quite new to this and I'm not sure on how to write any code for if statements or whatever is needed. If you are able to assist I would appreciate it. Thanks

Forms :: How To Control Display Of Fields In Form

Nov 20, 2013

How can I control the display of fields in a form? I see in a given database, that in the design view that some fields exist in a form but in the form-view some of them are not displayed.

I can't find how it was done, i see no difference in the fields' properties. Another question is how can i make a comboBox to display just the text without the ID number...

Forms :: Display Only Selected Options In Multi-value Control

Mar 2, 2015

I have a form with about 30 controls. I organized it carefully so that all the controls show on a single page. It actually looks really good. However, several of the controls allow multiple values. These appear as a check box showing up beside each item in the list from which these controls take their information. When I run a Filter by Form process, the form flawlessly pulls the data from the table that I'm seeking, and the check boxes are visible, both the ones with checks and without. In a few cases, in order to fit everything onto one page, I have most of the related list hidden, and use scroll bars. This works really well for data entry and for editing individual records.

Where it DOESN'T work like I want it to is in situations where the checked item(s) in the multi-value control don't show up in the box on the form without scrolling. In the table where these multi-value fields actually live, what shows up is just the code for each option, a simple numeral, with commas separating any multiple values. Is there a way to make my form show only the selected codes like in the table? My suspicion is that I'm going to be told no, that the best way to do this is to use a report and query.

Forms :: Display Different Subform Depending Upon Which Control Is Clicked

Aug 21, 2014

I am creating a database to manage multiple mobile devices. The table structure is complete and I'm trying to build a set of forms.

Simplifying things, I have tblUser, tblSim and tblDevice. I also have a tblJoin where you can select a UserID, SimID and DeviceID to create an item of inventory.

I have created a parent form (frmCreateInventory) base on tblJoin, so it has JoinID and combo boxes for UserID, SimID and DeviceID in the lefthand side.

I have also set up 3 sub forms sfrmUser, sfrmDevice and sfrmSim, based on their respective tables, which I want to display on the right hand side of frmCreateInventory.

I'd like to be able to create a subform control in frmCreateInventory, but change the subform it displays based on what combo box is clicked, e.g. if I click the UserID control, the subform displays sfrmUser, and the relevant data based on the UserID that is linked to the JoinID. if I click the DeviceID control, the sfrmDevice is displayed and the relevant info etc. etc.

Is this possible? if so, how would I go about doing this?

Forms :: Textbox Control Source - Pull Data To Display On Summary Tab

Oct 16, 2014

I have a form, with a tab control on it. Each tab has a subform to display data. One tab is meant to be a summary tab of the rest, so I want to pull data from certain controls on each of the other tabs to display on the Summary tab.

If I set the ControlSource to Forms!subfrmLABOUR!txtTotalHours.Value the control just displays #Name?

I assume that means it can't reference the ControlSource. Is it just a syntax thing? I've tried various methods, but no luck.

Forms :: Continuous Subform - Control To Display Image / Icon Based On Another Field

Jan 9, 2014

I have a continuous subform which queries a table of attachments. I'm using Access 2007 but not using the Attachment datatype; this DB will grow considerably and I don't want to waste precious space by filling it with bulky files. So instead, I have code which makes a copy of the attachment and adds the hyperlink (to the copy) to the table instead.

Now - I want to add a control to the subform to display an icon / image reflecting the file type of the attachment (Word doc, Excel s/s, PDF etc.)

But not sure how to go about it.

I was thinking I could use FileSystemObject.GetFileExtension at the point in the code where the attachment is added, and add a new field to my attachments table (i.e. translate "*.xls*" to "Excel", etc.) Then store / embed a handful of images for the core types I would expect and use an image control on the subform to display the image based on the value of that field.

But is that even possible / feasible?

Or, is there a handy API which can retrieve the icon associated with a file type based on what has been installed on the local machine (even if there is, there's still the problem of setting up the image control to display the appropriate icon specific to each record...)

Or, is there another control available which would be better suited to something like this than an Image control?

DLookup To Display Date In Text Box On A Tab Control Where Criteria Is Text Field

Apr 15, 2014

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.

I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?

New Field Does Not Show In Control Source For Form Control

May 28, 2015

I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.

I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.

I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.

Reference A Control On A Subform In A Tab Control!

Aug 3, 2006

OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?

Main Form: frmMemberMain
Tab Control: TabCtl12
Tab Control Page: 2
Subform: frmChildren
Control on subform: txtRelationship

Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:

Control Validation For 1st Control

May 17, 2006

Hi,

I have reviewed the posts for 'Control Validation' and dowloaded the sample database kindly posted by ansentry.

In the PaymentAmount example, a name has to be entered in the first control before an amount is enterered in the second control. If the controls and tab order are reversed, the validation doesn't work.

I have a form where the 1st Control needs validating before moving on. The code below doesn't work.

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Employee_No) Then
MsgBox "Employee No Required", vbCritical, "Data required "
Cancel = True
Me.Employee_No.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub


Any help greatly appreciated.

Display 2 As 02 - Where Does My Zero Go??

I have a form that displays minutes. When the minutes are 9 or less it displays as, e.g. 9 instead of 09.

How do I get that leading zero to display?

I read in previous posts that one way was to format as text or date, but I don't want to do that bc the minutes are added up on form save/close. :confused:
