Hi,
I have a mdb base (BD1) wich have no tables, the tables are in BD2 and are linked to BD1.
But BD1 grows, sometime just 20 or 30 bytes but sometimes more than 300k in one time. What Access stores ?
Is it possible to limit this ?
BD1 can be ran from many user and is stored on the server (not local) it is shared so i think i can't use option : compact data base when quit.
What are the best ways to prevent this ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a main form with a subform (subform display is continuous forms and key field is linked to key field of main form). I have a text field (enabled, not locked) on the subform that I've set the Can Grow property to Yes, but it doesn't get bigger even though the text! I've set the detail section Can Grow to yes as well. Any thoughts?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am doing a huge report. I have everthing working great but have to use another control source for another sub total area. I am adding this to the report header section and since the number of rows returned can vary I need it grow or shrink. Listbox is the only way I could find to do this but where is the can grow setting? Or do I need to create a subreport set to that data?
Thanks

I have a complicated form I am working on. The problem is that there is A LOT of data on this form, and to evaluate the data, the end user really needs to see as much of it as possible. What was typed in text box 5, may affect how he or she will interpret what was typed in text box 1.
In a report, I can make the text boxes grow or shrink so that you can see all the text in the box.
Can the same thing be done in a form?
Can I make the size a sub-form expand to show all the rows of data in its datasheet?
The end user needs to be able to add notes to the end and you can't do that with a report.
Thanks,
David
I reported this a day or two ago and the post is now gone.I have a report with grow and shrink = yes everyplace - I have three fields aligned top and they do not grow or shrink correctly - if i move the fields so they are not aligned horizontally they all work, or seem to work, fine. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong. Tested it on two computers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there's a way to set objects so that they don't get pushed down if an object above is set as Yes in the CanGrow property?can a report be split into columns?
I have been asked to replicate a form (previously written up on Word) which has two columns of information. As luck would have it all the fixed fields are on the Left hand side, so that part doesn't need (or want) to grow, However, the Right hand side has several sub-reports which can display 1-5 records each.
So if any of the sub reports show more than 1 record, they push down everything below it, but this includes the Left hand objects, creating gaps and often pushing the report onto 2 pages.
I made a report that contains 10 textboxes beside each other and i changed the option (can grow) of the textboxes to yes the growing is okay, but i want all the textboxes to grow the same size as the bigger one.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using MS Access 2003.I have a report whose Detail band contains a zero-height Comment field positioned at the bottom of the other single row of fields. It has Can Grow = Yes, so it sits waiting to grow if there's any data in this Comment field.
However, when this report prints, if the Comment field just "happens" to straddle two pages, it gets positioned only on the first page and gets cut off in the process. (See attachment 2.) Ideally, the entire field should display on the second page instead.
If I adjust the margins in Page Setup, I can fix this on this particular report. However, depending on the data being reported, these new margin settings can create a problem for the same report with different data. (All depends on where the Comment falls.)I'd like the report to work consistently, no matter the data or margins.
I want to keep the textbox small unless a user mouses over it, and they can then see all of the textbox contents. I've got code that will change it back to it's normal size after leaving the textbox as well.
Can I make the textbox "draw over" other nearby objects, so that it is in the foreground? Currently, the box grows, but it hidden by other nearby textboxes.
Edit: Well it looks like I just wasn't setting the Height large enough. I set it at .25 thinking it was in inches like it is in the property window, but I guess it's not. Seems to be working for now.
Edit 2: Not working afterall. It looks like it's working sometimes then the next time other objects will show through it. If I take a screenshot it looks fine in the screenshot no matter what it looks like on screen. Basically the check box and text box below the textbox I am making larger can be seen through said textbox.
All; using 2010. How can I get a subform to grow or shrink based on num of records returned? Its a continuous subform. Tried changing Vertical and Horizontal Anchors as well as some VBA suggestions but havent been able to make any of them work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report with several subreports that occassionally grow. I also have several fields that don't grow. If my subreport grows, it moves any other fields down as well. These are fields that are below the subreport, but not beneath it (e.g. on a lower line, but to the left).
Is there any way to keep the other fields stationary?
Thanks!
