Tag Property
Jun 26, 2005I have never used the tag property but while reviewing some design stuff it occurred to me that maybe I am overlooking it's usefulness and was wondering how some of you may have used it...?

Always On Top Property
Jul 14, 2007I have a problem. The problem is that I have a form contains two list boxes controls and a calender control. The calender control is invisible by default.
When I click a Show button, to show the calender contol, it appears but behind the list boxes controls. How can I allow it to fully appear on top of all the controls in the form.
Thanks,

BackColor Property
May 8, 2007hello,
I have a txtBox. Its backColor property changes according to what I do on the form. Now, when I close the form and reopen it, the backColor is not the same one with which the form was closed.
Ex. red, green
if I close the form having the backColor = green, then when I reopen it, it changes to red.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing
Thank you
Using Column Property In SQL
Oct 23, 2007Hi all
I have searched through this forum and on google, and I know that I can refer to a combobox's column property IN VBA by
[myform]![mycombobox].column(1)
When I do this in SQL, it complains that there is an "unidentified function" (column). What am I doing wrong?
How To Set The Required Property Via SQL

But this doesn't work, any clues?

Property Value Is Too Large
Nov 14, 2005I guess I have too many columns in my database and I'm getting the error message "Property value is too large" when trying to open the database table. When I was using Access 2000, I was still able to open the database but using Access 2003, the database will not open. Is there a way around this so I can open the table to fix it?
View 14 Replies View RelatedOnLoad Property
Mar 3, 2006What I'd like to do is for my combo boxes to say something like "Select One" when the form is first loaded, until the user opens the box and selects something. My combo boxes work fine now, but they are currently empty when the form loads.
From my google research it appeared that the OnLoad property would probably help me do what I want, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere in Access. It's not anywhere in the property window and the help search doesn't return any results.
I'm using Access 2003 from MS Office Professional Edition 2003.
Am I missing an upgrade or does my version not have this property, or am I just missing it?
Selected Property
Jan 12, 2005Hi all
I have a lstbox on a bound form. the lstbox is based on a query. I want the first item in the box to be selected. This is what ive used:
Private Sub roll_class_select_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.Requery "lststudents"
Me.lststudents.Selected(0) = True
End Sub
But then the form gets stuck. None of the other controls will work. The first list item is selected but it then wants to be the centre of attention and everything else can bugger off.
Any ideas as to how I can fix it??

.AbsolutePage Property

Which Event Property?
Dec 12, 2006I have a subform (subform1) which allows me to select a value which then dictates which record is shown in the other subform (subform2). I want to run a macro every time subform2 has a different value -- without me having to click anywhere in subform2. I have tried to attach the macro to every place I can think of and it just doesn't seem to run. I am thinking it is because subform2 isn't receiving the focus. How do I give subform2 the focus and which event property should I be trying for?

Forms :: How To Use Tag Property
Dec 15, 2014I have seen someone's database that had tiny circles containing a "?" which, when clicked, opened up a sentence or two. A search for "Tag" on this site strikes out, also.I am hoping to place these little links near fields that may need more explanation. In the ones I have seen before, the little explanation field that popped up disappeared as soon as the focus went elsewhere without the user having to close it. I have succeeded in using the tag property to open a true popup form, but this is clunkier than I want--would just like to learn how to do the other.

May 12, 2005I have designed a software package based around an Access Database at my company (based in the UK). There is a good chance that the company will be able to sell the software and potentially make a handsome profit.
My boss wants me to sign an Intellectual Property Rights agreement. Does anybody know what this means? Which of my rights does it effect? Would it prevent me from developing the same software if I left the company?
Any help would be much appreciated. I've found some resources on the web but they seem to apply mainly to music. Just wondered if anyone had had a similar experience.
Cheers.
LineStyle Property Problem
Sep 9, 2005Hi All,
I am experiencing the following error when trying to execute this snippet of code:-
Run-Time Error 1004: Unable to set the LineStyle property of the Border class
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlContinuous
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlContinuous
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlNone
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyl e = xlNone
appXL.Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineSt yle = xlNone
It errors at the highlighted line above (xlEdgeTop).
I have tried numerouse things, but cannot figure it out. Have used this with With statements, moved the offending statement up and down the code, but to no avail.
The Excel cell I am trying to format is in the centre of the spreadsheet. ALl the other borders are fine, but this one doesn't want to know!
Thanks in advance,
Paul.

List Box Column Property.
Mar 21, 2006Hi all..
I use the following code in my application to select a particular column value in a list box..
myvalue = SearchResults_LB.Column(5, i)
In my computer the column count starts with 0. So, the above statement sets the myvalue to the 6th column. But when I install the same application on an other computer it sets myvalue to 5th column.
Looks like I need to set the base value of the listbox column property somewhere!
I hope it is an easy one for many of you.
Thanks in advance.

What Does The 'Order By' Property Of A Form Do?
Oct 28, 2005Hello,
I've sorted out a problem that I had with a Form that had a subtable on it, by setting on the properties of the form for the 'Order by' criteria to equal the Id number of the form. eg: if each record has an Idnumber I have put [Idnumber] as the Order by property.
I have no idea what this does though, even though it seems intuitive? it's a form... so what is there to order? hope i'm not just being very stupid!
Thanks

RecordsetClone Property Error
Feb 26, 2006Having difficulty with executing the Recordsetclone property of my form.
Recordsource for 'frm_event' is based on a table, tbl_events.
On the Form's 'OnCurrent' event, I make a call to the function 'DisableEnable([Form])':
Public Function DisableEnable(frm As Form)
Dim rstClone As Recordset
Set rstClone = frm.RecordsetClone
Getting a 'Type mismatch' error when I try to create the RecordsetClone.
This is my first attempt at working with the RecordsetClone property.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated!
