Hi
does anybody know how to get text to show over a textbox. until the user doesn't enter the text box it will show instructions or a label perhaps. i have seen it on some samples and now i can't seem to locate it. i think this is an easy one. i need to save space on a continues form. i would like to get rid of the lables.
thanks,
sam

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a database for a flower shop for training purpose. I have a main form with a sub form that has the orders in it. when placing a new order for a client and selecting the product from the combo box, it would be great if the product could show up to the right in the form.
I have no clue if this is possible and how to get it working. I have included the database as an attachment, which way to follow. I remember that I could do this on a web page, but a web page is not the same as a database.
When I mouse over TEXTBOX1 I want it to display the phrase Hello World in TEXTBOX2.
When the Mouse moves away from TEXTBOX1 I want TEXTBOX2 to go back to normal.. (Empty)
How can I get the below VB to work? Or something similar.. I'm assuming a mouse move event or something
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_GotFocus()
Display Hello World in TEXTBOX2
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_LostFocus()
Clear TEXTBOX2
End Sub

Hi
Is the following possible?
I have the code to add the text to a textbox, but what I would like to do is rather than to keep adding the text onto the end.
Make it so that it will add it before what I previously added, so that the newer data is always at the top.
Can I do this? The following is how I'm currently entering the data into the textbox:
If IsNull(Me.LastContact) Then
Me.LastContact = Me.List35.Value & " contacted " & Me.List38.Value & " by " & Me.cmboEngagement & " on " & Date & vbCrLf & _
txtInput.Value
Else
If Not IsNull(Me.LastContact) Then
Me.LastContact = Me.LastContact & vbCrLf & Me.txtInput.Value
End If
End If
Thanks

Quick question, how would you advise I do the following.
I have a form with an unbound textbox.
What I would like to do is create some sort of log in a textbox with the newest listed at the top.
I have a table with this information in that contains an ID, a memo field which lists the details, and a date field.

How would I go about doing this?
Thanks

Dear All:
I have a form with three items:a checkbox called "Check231", a textbox called "text921" and another textbox called "text762".
What I wish to do is: Enter text in textbox921, which stays the same as I scroll through each record. Then If checkbox check231 is checked, it displays text from textbox921 to textbox762. Textbox762 is bounded to the form.
Any ideas on how to get started?
Many thanks,
Dion

I am trying to use this expression in my textbox to show when the textbox value is null:
=IIf(IsNull([ContractStatus]),"Null",[ContractStatus])
It gives me a circular reference error (#error in the textbox). If I change it to this:
=IIf(IsNull([ContractStatus]),"Null","ContractStatus"), it will display the text "Contract Status" (obviously).
What am I overlooking here? Does this need to be done in VBA?
I am building a database through access 2003 and have included a text box labeled "comments" in my design view. Now when i go to input information in the "comments" column in the datasheet view, the same text will appear for every entry. If I try to change the text in the next row, it will automatically switch all of the previous "comment" text to whatever I have entered. How do I fix this?

I have a table that has a date field set to text. I use the Mid function and get just the month in a query. I have a textbox on a form that when the user adds a month or removes a month from a selected listbox it adds or removes that months number from the textbox.
I want to us that text box on the form as the criteria for the month (the Mid function getting the month) and I can seem to get it to read what's in the textbox and use it as the criteria. I can manually type in a number and it works fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.
I have a form that has a textbox in it. I enter text into the text box by scanning a bar code. I then use openreport.cmd to pass the variable in the text box to the report I generate. The report then has a button that when clicked references the variable that I passed to it.
Essentially the problem I am having is that when I set the textbox back to blank, it also erases the contents of the new variable created. I want to either delete the value from the textbox upon scanning the bar code each time, or highlight the value in the textbox for it to be deleted upon the first key stroke. I had read about setting focus to the textbox, but I have been unable to get that to work. Here is my current code for what I am doing.
Code in the form:
stPartNum = Me.ScannerTxt
Label = stPartNum
DoCmd.OpenReport "RptLabels", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal, stPartNum
Code in report button:
partnum = Me.OpenArgs
I am new to access and have been staring at the same Run-time error for 3 days (pathetic I know). I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my Dlookup. Esentially, I want and After Update event in my combo box to populate a Rich text textbox in my form. After reading DLookup is the easiest way to make this happen. Here is my code:
Me.emailbody.Value = DLookup("[Escalation_1]", "Status_Emails", "Status_Emails.Status =" & (cboStatus.Value))
My error reads: "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Status_Emails.Status = LOCATION NEED MORE INFO'.
LOCATION NEED MORE INFO is the value in my criteria cbostatus.value.
How do i save a record as soon as text is entered into the textbox in a form?I need it to save without moving on to the next form without having to click a button
