Hi folks,
I've searched through the forums and found a little on tab controls, but haven't been able to figure out what I am trying to do.
I have a form with mutliple tabs, each of which contains a subform related to the form on the first tab.
When I am scrolling through the records, I might select the fourth or fifth tab to view that subform, and then, when I scroll to the next record (using the nav bar) I want to stay on that tab... but so far, my form always defaults back to the first tab.
Any suggestions on how I can keep the form open on the tab that has the focus would be a great help. Thanking all readers in advance....
I have created a form with a tab control covering most of it and have about 7 pages set up. I am finding that when I load the form it automatically scrolls down and cuts off the actual tabs at the top.
I have tried moving the control further down the page but it just scrolls further, and I have attempted to make all text fields etc non-tab stops but it still skips to the top.
Is there a way to program a Next Page button for a tab control that can be put in the form's header and that'll go to the next page, regardless of what page I am on?
I have a form that is multi-page. On the third page of that form, I tried to set up a tab control that allows me to natvigate among three subforms. The problem is that the moment I click a tab (which is on the third page of the multi-page form), the form automatically jumps back to the first page.
Is it possible I can fix it so that when I use the tab control on the third page on a multi-page form, I will not get bounced back to the first page? Although this sounds simple, I cannot figure it out.
If it possible to change if a group is visible based on what page a different group is printed on.
The report I'm working on is a Invoice and it has subtotals in one group and totals in another group.
If the totals are going to print on page 1 then there is no need to print the subtotals. Is there a way to know what page the totals will print on so I can set visible for subtotal group to true or false?
I'm using a web control to display a page. I want to have a code that can copy to a field in that same form, the html source of that page that is displayed in the web control. How I can do that?
I have a form with a tab control and an option group (frame). When I built the layout of the contents of the first tab, the frame responded properly to click events. Now that I have copied them onto the tab control, the events seem to disappear.
(When I check the events for the controls, they are all still there, and selected by the Properties table).
I know it's probably one of the "doesn't use Access very much, does he" type of situations, so how to get these controls working again!
Here is the Form Code listing.
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Sub SetSourceDescription() If Me.frRunMode.Value = 0 Then Me.lblSourceType.Caption = "Source for this run will be the Extract .pst file(s)"
Is it possible to use a formula in the Caption property of a page in a tab control (i.e. to make it dynamic)
I have a number of tabs each with their own subform (with each subform driven by its own unique query)
I'd like the tab name to include the number of records returned by that query (so as records are added, the tab name is automatically updated with the new number)
So something along the lines of :
Page 1 (" & DCount("[ID]","[qryQuery1]") & ")"
Such that the page name appears as :
Page 1 (7)
I know I can code this programmatically but then that code has to be triggered by some event and I need the counts to be as real-time as feasibly possible rather than requiring the user to click on a control to trigger it. I was hoping by using a formula directly in the Caption property of the page, it would be dynamically updated every time a new record was added without the need to trigger an event first.
I have a form orders with a subform orderdetails where we can order more than one product. When the order is finished you save it with a save button where it will also automathically mark the products ordered as not available. Now, this code works, the problem is that it only marks one product. how do you make it mark all the products that where ordered (in orderdetails - the subform)? :
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 'set values here! 'loop? Dim stAvai As String Dim strSetProd As String
I've got a bit of a problem with # mark when I want to search a number containing "#". The number is as follows: 33.#5hy4-1234When I insert a part of this number to a textbox eg. #5hy to search records containg it, it gives me no results (despite there are such in a database) I know that it is to do with this # mark. I have an sql query: (...) where sachnummer like '*" & variable & "*'
In SQL in MS Access a '?' '*' '%' are all used as a wildcards.
I need to be able to retrieve all messsages which contain a '?' within the message. i.e. If a message contains the following characters : why?
I want to retrieve the message as a '?' is part of the message.
When I write the code :
SELECT User.User, Message.Message FROM Message INNER JOIN [User] ON Message.[Message ID]=User.[Message ID] WHERE Message Like '*?*';
Access takes the '?' as a wildcard and retrieves all the messages in the database. Is it possible to get round this and use '?' as a specific character.. not a wildcard?
I am attempting to manipulate the Format Property of a Textbox. As an example, entering in &" lbs" causes your text to end with " lbs".... only I am trying to add a " mark, for example saying something is 6" away...
I have a form with an image embedded in it. I want to be able to click on the image and leave a "dot" or "mark" where i have clicked, allowing me to click in multiple places on the image and leave multiple "dots"
I am assuming i need to crate a new shape each time i click, how is this done?
Is it possible to format a textbox such that a negative value doesn't show numerically but in some other form (like a cross or exclamation mark from the Wingdings font, for example?)
I have a couple of textboxes which take their values from a function. The function is designed to return a long integer value which should always be greater than or equal to zero (the function counts the number of outstanding e-mails in a given Outlook folder, hence it should always be zero or higher)
However, as part of my error handling, if the function can't connect to the Outlook folder for whatever reason (for example, if the user does not have the appropriate permissions, or they do not have it mapped etc.), then it returns -1 (so I have some sort of value to identify a fail)
So currently, if such an error occurs, my textbox(es) will show -1 (and I can use conditional formatting to highlight this)
But it would be nice if it showed an "X" or "!" instead, and only showed the numerical value for 0 or positive. Is this possible?
I have a report which includes several subreports. There will be times when a subreport prints partially on one page and completes on the next. I don't always want to break to a new page with this subreport. However, I would want to break to a new page if the subreport cannot fully print on the current page.
I have a report that lists states and cities within the states. When a state name happens to be at the end of the page the individual cities appear on the next page with no State heading. I solved the second page problem by setting the "repeatSection = Yes" in the Section Header (though I haven't shown that in the example below).
But the previous page (which just shows the State Name and no cities looks dumb. Is there some sort of solution.?? (Actually I would also like any State that continues to a next page to not just have the state name but something like " Colorado (Continued)" Is there anything I can do in VB to make a page break if the section is going to print but therer isn't enough room for one detail line?
This is what I currently see
Alaska Ancorage Prudo Bay
California Whittier Anaheim
Colorado ------------------------Page Break --------------------------------- Denver Pueblo Colorado Springs
If I have a report and it has controls (labels representing column titles) in the page header. Now when I print the report - if it happens that the last page has no detail records - but there is text boxes and so forth in the report footer. Is there a way to not display the page header on the last page?
I have a report where the last page shows the page header - and the field/column labels on the page header - but for which there is no detail records left to display - on the last page. There is report footer information that should display. It just looks weird because the field/column labels show at the top of the page - but there is no data remaining to print under them on that last page.
I have a data access page needs a filter by a dropdownlist, the dropdownlist used is a html control and I use javascript to filter the data programmaticlly in the onchanged event of the control.
MSODSC.DataPages(0).Recordset.Filter="AppID = 3";
My problem is, when this statement runs, the page refreshes. But I don't need the page refreshes, it set the dropdownlist text to the default text, not the value user select. The browser is IE7.
I have one-page forms which print a second page, blank except for a block of grey shading at the top. I have tried moving the content of the form up but that doesn't eliminate the second page. If I look at print preview, every second page of the entire database shows up as blank, regardless of where that happens to appear in the record.
I am trying to create an invoice report. I want to add all the costs from the detail section in my footer. I have accomplished this in either the Report footer and/or the page footer, but the problem is that the report footer doesn't go to the bottom of the page, and the page footer doesn't go to just the last page. I have tested a bunch of suggestions that don't seem to work.
1. Print page footer with Report header = NO - only works if your report is two pages or more.
2. Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Page = Pages Then Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = True Else Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = False End If End Sub
The Page functions worked, but it did not change the results from page to page. If it was a two page report, then the if statement is false and the text box was not visible on page 1, but it also was not visible on page 2.
to automatically create a second, third, fourth... page depending on how many characters are in the narrative. The only other thing needed to be changed is the page# of Page#.
