Unbound Text Box On Form
Aug 30, 2005
I am trying to troubleshoot a form and I am at wits end with it. :eek: I hope someone can help me.
There is a form whose record source is based on a query. When it opens it loads all the records. At the bottom of the form, there is an unbound text box that is used as a filter. The person is suppose to be able to type something in there and then once the cmd button is pressed it filters bases on the value of that text box. That appears to work fine.
The problem is, when the form loads, the unbound text box is locked. It does not allow anyone to type in it.
I checked form properties and also the text box property and it is not locked. I have added code on the getFocus, OnLoad, OnUpdate..ect, to make the properties of that text box unlock it self. I have had no success with that.
I did notice that after the form loads and I hit Design view and then change back to Form view, the text box is unlocked and allows typing. :confused:
Why then does it allow editing, but not on initial load. Any help would be wonderful. If further explanation is necessary, please ask.
Thank you

I am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.

I need to display some of the insruction lines in unbound / bound text box that will gradually moves up.
Example :
"This multiuser client server db is licenced to "ABC & Co.". This sofrware is to reduce cost of production and it increases speed of your production process more...."
These instruction lines may be arojnd 10-15 lines. I need to display it as non-stop moving up text massages on the main form once the data base is opened.
Is this possible? How?
With kind regards,

Hi,
As a part of reducing traffic on file server, I am planning to read less record on the form and hence I tried removing forms record source. (Attached sample db)
I kept all unbound textboxes onto the forms and save new record to the table using codes back of the command button. This is working great with main form. But doesn’t with sub form. I tried removing record source of sub form and keeping unbound text boxes to appear record if it exists.
If you enter 1 in InvNum text box on main form, you will find it brings record. I don’t want to show the record on the sub form unless I call it from main form.
How can I use the same trick of unbound text boxes with sub form too?
Please extend your help.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

Hi All,
I hope someone can help me.
I have a table here tblTemp with a field client. This table can have from 1 to 100 records at times as it keeps getting cleared for the purpose of this exercise.
I also have a form frmLabel1Data with an unbound text box txtclient.
I was hoping to get the first record of the table into this text box upon opening the form.
I tried creating a query which gave me the following sql;
SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;
I also tried placing it in this code with no luck
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SQL
SQL = "SELECT First(tblTemp.client) AS FirstOfclient FROM tblTemp;"
MsgBox SQL
End Sub
Does anyone know why I cannot see the same result as when I open the query it gives me my client name but the code above does not????
Any help is appreciated.

Am not getting a value from a form text box when using in the criteria line in my query. Am referencing like [Forms]![FormName]![FormLabelName]. If I copy the data in the form and paste it into the query, it works fine, but if I just reference the form, I get no results.

Hi,
I want to show some text from another table based on the values of the bound fields in each record of a continuous form. I thought it would be easy, but I can't get it to work.
I step through the records in the bound recordset and use some of the values to query another table. Then I use the value from the query to populate the unbound text field.
It works fine for each record. But every time the unbound field is updated, all the records in the continuous form are updated.
I'm stuck on this one. It's probably something simple to fix - if you know what to do!
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
-Daniel

Is there a way to add a validation rule in an access form on an unbound text box. This box is currently doing a calculation of others. If the figure is not between 0 And 0.3125 then I do not want the user to be able to move on. For some reason if I enter "Between 0 And 0.3125" in the validation rule it doesn't seem to do anything. I can only assume its because its an unbound text box. Data attached please see Frm_Input and text box total standard hours.

I created an unbound text box on a form that automatically pulls the current logged in user by using this:
Private Sub Txtuser_Click()
Me.Txtuser = Environ("Username")
The form grabbs the logged in user with no problems, however, I ultimately want this information to also end up in my table. So the form has three boxes (to keep it simple). The user will type their first name and last name manually on the form which the record source is this "table" where their name goes to the table last name =Field 1 and first name=Field 2 respectively. I want the unbound box from the form to place the logged in user in Field 3 for the current record.

I have a continuous form with a text field that says "Select". There are two other fields, one of which is Brand. When the Brand Combo box has nothing in it I want the text box to appear (instructing the user to select a Brand) But once the user selects a Brand and goes to the next records, I would like the "Select" in only that record to become not visible. I tried conditional formatting but can't apply that to an unbound control ( or at least it is grayed out when I select the text box) and any other possible solutions I have found changes all of the selects - not only the one in the changed record.

I have a form with 1 unbound listbox as drop down list (entypolst), an unbound text box(entypotxt) and a command button. The list box reads items from a table. I want to change a value (text) on listbox, input a text on textbox so pressing the button add a new record in a table (Table1 fields Category,Product) showing in my form as subform (SFTable1) in datasheet view. For that reason a made the following code:
Code:
Private Sub AddBtn_Click()
Dim ans As Integer
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
[code]....
I take the error msg for 0 items selected in listbox and exit the sub.

I have some code for a button on click event to open a form and select the record which corresponds to a value in an unbound text box. The code is:
Private Sub Command25_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmOpenPatientRecord"
[Code] ....
This works fine when I put in a 10 digit NHS number but opens a blank record when I enter a four digit or six character/digit PatientNumber. Both patient number and NHS number are text fields in the underlying table.

I'm using a form with a combo box bound to a table (but all other boxes are not bound). When the user selects from the combo box, the other fields on the form populate.
The problem is, there are two fields which are memo fields, but the form is truncating the text. When I type text in the form and save, it truncates, but in the table itself the text is not truncated. However, if I go back to the form and make a change, the truncated text overwrites what's in the table.

Hi
I have a unbound text box on a form. I am using code to complete a search, each time a letter is input into the text box the code runs. My problem is that I am only able to input one letter in the text box. Has anyone any ideas why this is!
Code I am using:
Function FilterForm()
Dim strFil As String
Dim strNewRecord As String
Dim strSupplier As String
Dim strTp As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Set db = CurrentDb
If Not QueryExists("qryProductSelect") Then
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("qryProductSelect")
Else
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryProductSelect")
End If
If IsNull(Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSu bForm.Form!txtFind.Value) Then
strFil = " Like '*' "
Else
strFil = " Like '*" & Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSubForm.F orm!txtFind.Value & "*'"
End If
strNewRecord = "SELECT tblProduct.* " & _
"FROM tblProduct " & _
"WHERE tblProduct.Product_Name" & strFil & ""
qdf.SQL = strNewRecord
DoCmd.Echo False
If Application.SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acQuery, "qryProductSelect") = acObjStateOpen Then
DoCmd.Close acQuery, "qryProductSelect"
End If
Forms!frmCapitalGoods!ctlSubForm.Form!ctlSubForm.F orm!.RecordSource = "qryProductSelect"
Set qdf = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Function

Hi,
I have a form that has a list of sitting on when you select a sitting I would like to produce list of centres that are registered with that sitting. I would like to do this by having an unbound text box. I need to do it this way for part two.
So I have
SittingID The user can select a sitting from the combo box of sitting ID. I have this code behind the combo box to look up the sitting details:-
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[SittingID]=" & Me.cboSittingID
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
I then have a table that holds all the centre that belong to that sitting this table has the Centre ID and the sitting ID I would like the user to select a sitting using the combo box and then the unbox text box populates with:-
CentreName, CentreNumber, VenueName, any idea's how I go about this one. Thanks

I have a query that tells me two things. Take the following:
AnalystID AnalystCompleted Expr1
5 5 0
5 4 1
5 5 0
5 5 0
This is a look at an assignment, who it was originally assigned to (AnalystID), and who actually completed it (AnalystCompleted). Expr 1, counts the number of times the two columns don't match.
If I were to throw this in a report and group by Analyst ID, it would tell me how many times someone else completed an Analysts assignment. If I grouped by AnalystCompleted, it would tell me how many times an analyst has done another person's assignment. In all, by analyst, the amount of assignments done BY others, and amount done FOR others. I do NOT want to create two separate sub reports just to tell me this so that I can use the totals in calculations on a main report. I was attempting to do this on the query level but that doesn't seem possible either. I then thought perhaps a defined Function for SQL SELECT... SUM... FROM... GROUP BY...

happy friday to all! I may just be missing something simple here but not sure what. I have a form with an option group of radio buttons, an unbound label, and an unbound text field.
If radio button A is selected, the the label and the text field become visible. no problem with this.
when they become visible, I want to be able to enter a string into the unbound text box, and use that data to populate a query from. I know how to do this also.
No the problem: when the textbox becomes visible I can't type into it?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Kevin
