This might be really easy to do but I don't know how.
I want to create a textbox that will accept unlimited characters. The highest it can go is 255, I want it as a comment area where the user can type in as much as they want w/o being warned that they've reached their limit.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Hi: There are two textboxs in my main form. One is bound and another is unbound.

Thank You.
I have a date textbox (Week_Ending) and number textbox (Staff_ID) in a form (frmHourEnter), when both have values I open another form (frmStaffReport) with textboxes (txtDateStart and cmbStaff).
How do I open the second form with the values of the first form pre-entered?
I have a database for billing. In my database, I have a form that consists of a main form "Order" and 2 subforms "OrderDetails" and "Customer" OrderDetails are to enter the products to be connected to the Order. All function super, but I want to have some information from one of the forms "copied" over to on of the others.
Here is what I would like
In the subform "OrderDetails" I have made a textbox that summarize all prices to a total, his tekstbox i called "Tekst31". I would like the amount in this textbox to appear in a field "Bel�b" in the main form "Order".
I have tried some different commands, but nothing has worked, also I have made a query which dose the same ting as the tekstboks, as the information in that tekstbox it not stored anywhere.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDear 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?

Hi All,
I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following:
- If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem).
- If the product number does exist, populate the text boxes on the form with the respective data. ex: Product number 512547. Does exist, hence: (TB = textbox)
Prd. No.TB = 512547
Rec'd Date.TB = 10/10/2006
Comments.TB= blah blah blah, etc.
I am simply trying to pull information from a table into text boxes on a form using a text box.
THANKS A MILLION!
hello,
another problem that I have is as follows:
I have 2 txtBoxes and a button (txtA, txtB, btn). When opening the form I fill in txtA and txtB. Now when clicking on the button "btn" (OnClick event), the program is supposed to compare the values in the 2 txtboxes. If they are equal (txtA=txtB), then I have to do something which is not relevant to my question. In the code I type:
if (Me.txtA.Value = Me.txtB.Value) then
' DO WHATEVER
End if
and it does not even go through the conditional statement if to do whatever I want the program to do inside the if. I would really appreciate anyone's help.
Thank you very much
PS: By the way, thank you boblarson and rainman89 for the past question, both solutions worked, I used boblarson's but I have to click on the form when it's opened in order for the changes in the table to take effect.
Hello all!
My problem is the following:
My application needs a log in. Then I created a username and a password textbox. In the password textbox I applied an input mask to not display the password on the screen, and display the stars.
The problem comes when i try to read the value by code. I get the stars instead of what the user wrote.
What's the solution for it? I'm sure i'm missing something, and i should write a method to get the real value, but can't figure it out...
Thanks in advance
I have a SQL query in a string of a VBA procedure
(e.g. MyQuery = "select sum(Amount) from Investment")
and I want the result to be shown in a TextBox of my form Me.
I know several ways to run the query and to send the result into the TextBox (e.g. with QueryDef and RecordSet). However I guess Access should offer a more direct way to do such a simple operation.
Does anyone has a solution to do it the simplest way ?
Thanks.

How in the world can I accomplish this? I have a set of dates on a form that change from week to week. I'd like to reference these text boxes in a query as column names. How can I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several databases created and I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to have a textbox that would act as a search field instead of the Access pop up search that you get when searching a field. I would like to set it up that the search would be for Primary Key only. Is this possible or do you have to use the standard pop up search?

So I have a checkbox in a subform that if a user checks then the address info from the main form should be transferred to fields the subform. Here is my code:
Private Sub Check5_Click()
If Check5.Value = -1 Then
add.Text = Me.Parent.add.Text '*
city.Text = Me.Parent.city.Text
prov.Text = Me.Parent.prov.Text
postal.Text = Me.Parent.postal.Text
End If
If Check5.Value = 0 Then
If add.Value <> "" Then
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to change this info?", vbInformation + vbYesNo, "Confirm")= vbYes Then
add.Text = "" '*
city.Text = ""
prov.Text = ""
postal.Text = ""
End If
End If
End If 'added this end if to stop the Block without End If error
End Sub
First, any idea why I need that 'End If' comment??? The code won't run without it.
Second, I keep getting a "Can't reference a property or method unless the control has the focus" on the lines commented with a *. Why is that??? I'm certain I've done this before in VB but haven't run into these sorts of errors before.
Am I referenceing something improperly??
Thanks

I have a form where my users can enter labor line items for various jobs. FOr each line item, they can specify the product and color to be installed. Now, I realize that the CORRECT way to do this is to have a table for products. However, since I am not touching inventory with this application, I am setting it up for them to simplye type it into a text box.
Is there anyway to set up the text box with "memory" so that as they type in the entry, it will start to "guess" what they want by previous entries? Similar to the way a combo box operates.
Thanks,
Hammy
Hi everyone,
My problem is the following: I have a textbox where the user input an amount to be saved in the data base. But when I enter an amount and I get out of the textbox, this one modify itself to put 1 instead. And if I come back in the textbox, the amount that I have previously entered comes back.
I really don't understand why it behaves like that.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi
I have created a form with one unbound textbox and a command button.
How do I make sure that the query only runs if text is entered in the textbox?
I do not want the command button to run unless the textbox has data to query.
At the moment the Query runs and displays all records.
