Can't Type In Unbound Text Field
May 27, 2005
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

I've created a data entry form w/ 7 fields.... [f1], [f2], [f3], [f4], [f5], [f6] are bound to a table. While [f7] is unbound and has Nz function.
Now, the value of [f7] is the summation of [f1] to [f5], i want that what ever value is generated by [f7] will be stored on [f6] in both forms and table...

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.

Hi,
I have searched on this and it says: it doesn't matter as long as it's of type text. It matter if it's long integer..etc. I am not quite sure.
I wonder if default size '50 of fields' of type text occupies that size in memory even though the data in the field is not 50 chars.
Regards,
B

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.

I have an existing form where users type in information and it generates a couple of reports. In one of the fields, Customer PO Number, the user enters a number from a customer. Up until yesterday all of the customers we have been dealing with have used numbers only for their PO numbers. However, we have a new customer that requires alphanumeric PO's. Is there a simple way to change this field from a number to alphanumeric without having to redo each form, report and/or query. I am using MS Access 2010.

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

I have a form that contains a combo box (cboEmployeeName) that pulls data from a query and populates three text boxes (Work Area, Last Name, First Name), This part works fine. Because the text boxes are being populated by the Combo box, they are not bound to the record source tblTrainingSchedule). I need the info that is in the text boxes to populate the respective fields in the record source.
I tested by adding "=tblTrainingSchedule!WorkArea=[cboEmployeeName].Column(3)" (column 3 is the work area) to the "after update" control but it does not populate the data.

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 table with about 300,000 records. About ten fairly small fields per record. I am trying to change the length of a text field from 25 to 40 characters, and I get the error message, 'MS Access can't change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory'.
I have never seen this message before. I have about 64 Gig of free disk space. What can I do?

I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?

To make it simple, I have a list of contact names and their email. I want to have a form with no control source and have 2 simple drop down boxes for their Name and their Email. What I would like to happen is the user choose a name from the drop down in field 1 and then the field below auto-populate their email in field 2. I understand I can use conditional IF/THEN and list out each email, but the contact list is ever changing, so I want to first drop down to link to the TblContacts, have the user pick the name from the list and then have the 2nd field autopopulate from that same TblContacts with their email respective to the Name entered in field 1. My form has two field [Traveler] and [Email]...The tblContacts two fields are [Name] and [Email]
Code:
DLookup("[Email]", "tblContact", "[Name] = [frmEmail]![Traveler]")

I was wondering if there is a way of only allowing text in a text field - we need to do this for validation purposes when inporting a text file into a database. I have tried input mask but this only checks when entering new data - I have tried to use validation rule like"???????" however this means that there has to be 7 letters in each field and this is not the case. - the field is for town and a couple of the records in this field have numbers at the end which are incorrect that we want the database to reject :eek:

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
