Oct 17, 2005Hello,
does anyone know if is possible to create some forms with different graphics like round edges etc.

Need Help With Combobox And Graphics On Form
Dec 14, 2005I have a form that is bound to a table of chemicals. On the form I have a combobox that displays records from another table of chromatograms for each chemical. There may be none, one, or multiple chromatograms for each chemical.
On the form I also have a graphic to display the chromatogram (.jpg file).
I want to have the graphic of the chromatogram update upon the change of chemical on the form. At the present time, I have the graphic display from the after_update event of the combobox. This works fine.
Is this the best way to proceed, or should I use a subform for what I'm trying to do.
Any help wouuld be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Graphics In A Form (show/hide)
Jul 26, 2007Hey AP.uk
I've got Form with some drawings on it and I'd like it change depending on what the user has entered in certain fields on the same form.
For Example: when the user selects a certain type of item in the "Item1" field, I'd like the graphic to change (or another one appear) in the form. Basically an "If this is true, show this picture" type thing.
I've been trying a few things to make this happen, but to no avail... :(
Any incite anyone could give would be most appreciated.
Truly,

Sep 17, 2006I have read, mostly understood, and abandoned most of the KB and WWF suggestions on using images in forms. I am _this_ close to having it my way, but I can't seem to get there.
The paper form I am emulating has a medical diagram of the human body, and the interviewer circles, crosses, or otherwise marks a particular part (say head or foot) that the interviewee indicates is giving him/her pain. In order to do this on a form, I need to load a blank medical image into a field, and let the interviewer edit the image as they would on paper, by leaving cirlcles or X's.
One of the Northwind examples uses embedded images in an OLE field, and when I double-click the image is brought up in 'Paint', and I can edit. Close to what I want. I can also copy the employee photo from one record to a new record, and still edit. Closer yet. But when I try to put in a new image, I'm back to the icon-with-file-name, or 'package', or varous other ways of not seeing a picture.
Has anybody had success with this yet?
Thanks

Fried Graphics Card. What Do I Do?
Jun 4, 2006Hi,
I'm in a a lot of trouble. My graphics card has stopped functioning, leaving me with a perfectly good computer that I cannot use.
In order to retrieve the information from the harddisk, I got a cable between this computer and another one.
This is my plan:
When the "blind" computer is started, I will enter the cmd. From there I would like to be able to "share" one of my folders on the small network (ie the two computers). Is there a DOS command for this?
second question:
If I have VNC server installed, will I be able to see the desktop from another computer allthough I can't see it on the blind computer? Does that information go through the graphics card before it is sent over the internet, or after it has arrived in the VNC viewer computer?
Fuga.

Inline Graphics In Text Fields
Oct 25, 2013I am in the process of creating a 'how to' knowledge database using MS Access. I would like to create an input form that has a large field capable of entering both text and graphics.For example, the data inside Field1 would say...
How do I change the resolution of a monitor?
Step 1: Right click in the middle of the screen
<Display picture>
Step 2: Select Screen Resolution
<Display picture>
Step 3: Etc.
The total number of steps and pictures for each knowledge article would be different for each item. There could be 1 picture in the article, or there could be 50.
Sadly however, I don't see any field types that could support what I would like to do. So far I've only seen examples where the pictures and texts are separate and static. I'm open to using links to point to the pictures inside the text field to a remote folder. I'm even open to creating a report that takes all of the information on the input form and organizes it in a way so it looks like the example given above. Are there any scripts, controls, or template examples I could look at?
Forms :: Button In Form To Open Different Form And Chose A Customer Based On Last Form
Mar 26, 2013Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
Forms :: Opening A Form From Another Form Via Combo And Auto Loading Form Data?
Apr 14, 2015I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
Forms :: Send Data From Pop-up Form To Main Form (sub-sub Form)
Aug 27, 2014On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
General :: Create A User Form With Sub Form Using Form Wizard?

I want the user to be able to click on an entry in the subform and open the orignal fault form and see the data that had been entered. How can i create this functionality??

Jul 24, 2013how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.

View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Open Blank Form Based On Value In Text Field In Main Form
Jun 6, 2013I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website
Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]
But, it does not work .
Forms :: Create List Box To Only Display Information From Another Form Related To Current Form
Mar 20, 2014What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.

Modules & VBA :: Retrieve / Validate Data On 2nd Form Based On Record Selected On 1st Form
Jul 29, 2013Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.
I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).
I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName]
Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex)
End With
EndSub
I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).
Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.
Forms :: Setting Focus To Control On Single Form Side Of Split Form
Jun 24, 2013When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus.

Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
Forms :: Based On User Selection In A Form / Create New Records For Subsequent Form
Feb 3, 2014The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.
New At Access: Update Simlar Text Fields In One Form Based On Another Form
Jun 13, 2006I am very new at Microsoft Access. I have two forms, A and B, that are filled out by two different users. Form A gets filled out first than form B gets filled out. Each has a name box as well as a birthdate box and a few other similar text fields. However, each form also has a few distinctive fields. I was wondering how I could input the common information in Form A to Form B so the user of Form B does not have to spend time retyping the name and birthdates again. In other words, I want to synchronize the similar records between the two forms. I would like the values to appear in a table as well. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with the visual basic code. Thank You.

Forms :: Applying Sort And Filter In Form Results In Design Changes To Form
Dec 27, 2014When I'm applying a sort and filter in a form, Access is updating the Filter and Order By properties of the form, so that it is possible to re-use in conjunction with Filter on Load and Order By on Load properties. However, a consequence of this is that when the form is closed, it prompts the user whether they want to save the design of the form. I want to circumvent this as I don't want to re-use the sort and filter and I don't want to be prompted to save the design of the form.
Although I can circumvent this by closing the form using a method that doesn't prompt for saving, the additional complication here is that the form in question is in the Navigation subform of a Navigation Control. Hence when I click on a another Navigation button, it (not me) closes my current form and hence prompts me whether I want to save the design of the form (if I have been sorting and/or filtering). I can't see how to circumvent this and the prompting is resulting in unacceptable usability.
Forms :: Use Buttons On A Form To Change Sort Order On A Continuous Form
Jul 23, 2013I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
Forms :: Create Search Form That Returns Subset Of Other Form Pages?
Sep 25, 2013I've built a PostgreSQL database for some ecology data and am trying to use MS Access 2010 to make a front-end for it.
I've created a form to display site data; it includes such fields as site ID, site name, county, state, landscape, etc. (There are more, but if I can get the idea down with a couple of these, I should be good to handle the rest). One can click through the form and see 14 pages of site details, which is fine because there are 14 sites.
What I want to do now is make a search form in which one can enter values for site ID, site name, county, etc, and somehow get the pages of the display form that match those values. It's not terribly important to me how that output looks - whether it's a list of matches that allows for clicking on a match and showing just one page of the display form, or whether it's a filtered subset of the display form pages that one still clicks through to view them all.
if there is code to write, where do I type it? Do I start my search form by making a form with the search fields as values, or is there some other way? How do I make those search fields into search boxes rather than display boxes?
