Does anyone try to play with graphics? I use a form with 3 tabs and tree forms ..in the second form (tab) I get some numbers from a customer and in the 3rd form I got a graphics with these two numbers but there not working ..i try to get these numbers from the form direct .. I get it but I can see only the numbers and not the graphic…
I try it with a query I get the numbers (Like CustomerId= forms!frm_customers!id or forms!frm_customers.id or what ever workd) I get the numbers but again when I try to see in my tab the form or the form only I can’t see the graphic//
Does enyone know what happen?
What is the usual way to store the weight in a Bill of material database? Do you store the weight for each assembly and each component or only the weight of the smallest components (where the weight of each assembly is calculated by adding the weight of each component)? The way my table is set up just now only the weight of the cast component and screws are recorded and no values are recorded for the assemblies, I just want to make sure that this set up is apropriate as I wouldn't like to redesign my table once the system is up and running.
Just wondered what was everyones opinion on how I should best included a graphic file (just for the eye it has no functional purpose). At the moment i have just pasted it in but it increases the size from 1mb to 17mb.
I 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.
Hello, does anyone know if is possible to create some forms with different graphics like round edges etc. Does Access allow this kind of utility or are we stuck to simple ones? THanks.
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?
I 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.
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.
I 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?
I am building a database which tracks tasks assigned to employees. I want to have one of my forms displaying a view which shows at a glance which tasks are assigned to whom at what times of the day, with a click opening a task for editing. My current attempt is to create a crosstab query with the employees as the column headings ("dynamic crosstab" query) and a table of time values for the hours of the day providing the row headings, with the task as the value.
I then created a form based on the query with Datasheet view as the default view (apparently necessary to set properties/event handlers to query values. I got the idea from the Northwind sample database) However, the form fields do not update to reflect changes to the employee list and therefore the onClick handlers are not applied to newly added employees. What to do, besides for programmatically setting the event handlers?
I have a couple forms with Combo boxes that look up data in queries. I noticed in testing that I could accidently type a "~" (and other characters) in the field and once I do, it causes a runtime error that shuts down the entire app (as opposed to letting the user backspace out of it or resetting the field). Before I put in some "Before Update" code to prevent the system from crashing, I want to make sure I am on the right track. I have already set the combo box to just show the list, not allow edits, limit to list, etc. Is there a way to prevent the user from doing this either by preventing the keyboard from working on combo boxes (not preferred) or by trapping it before the system crashes? I would think I could validate with a recordset, and create my own path out for the user, but I was hoping the combo box would have sort of done that work for me.
How to make my queries run when they are in a navigation subform. I am having a hard time finding something on line that explains this process well? I keep getting prompted to enter a parameter when i go to the form in the navigation setup, I have the query running off a combobox in he stand alone form, and i can bypass the error if i make the form a popup, but i want to learn how to keep it as part of the navigation form itself.
Is there any way to make a form that will allow me to select the query which i wish to use, rather than just having a different button that will execute each query individually?
I have a database that I use to track my workouts. I am very new to Access and am just starting to learn some simple VBA code.
I have the following tables:
tblBodyFocus Body Type
tblExcercises Excercise_ID Excercise Body Type (Foreign)
tblWorkoutLog Log_ID Excercise_ID (Foreign) Date
What I would like to do is generate a query that will give me a summary of workout dates and Body Type. Each date can have several excercises but each excercise only has 1 body type associated with it. What I want to avoid is multiple listings for body types. In other words I want to generate this:
Date -Body Type 10/25/05 -Arms 10/25/05 -Legs 11/2/05 -Arms 11/2/05 -Abs
but not:
Date -Body Type 10/25/05 -Arms 10/25/05 -Arms 10/25/05 -Arms
I'm new to this so I may not have given you enough information. I don't have any code to post at this point but please let me know if I you need any additional info.
Hi All, 1st post or should it be last post..:) I am a complete novice with access so please be gentle. My problem is simple well not to me. I have a small db in access 2003 with which i created a form with 6 buttons each to supposedly run a querie..the queries have all been written previous as the db was originally created in access1.0. I am unfortunately unable to do this can anyone point me in the right direction please...thank you Williebear
I don't know if this could be done but is there a way that a form can be created where users type in Employee Info such as name or SSN and it calculates the total number of vacation, sick and person time he has left.
I've already created the queries, but i don't know how or IF i can integrate the two.
There are several tables Employee SickTime PersonalTime VacationTime
For each employee in the "Time" tables, a sum of their time taken and time accrued is calculated to provide the total time available.
I've read quite a few posts and noticed that quite a few people have said that forms should be created from queries. Is this personal preference or a must.
Like I said on a previous post I am going on a one day Access soon, so maybe I should stop reading and playing until I have completed that, but my mind is running away with what I want to do.
I am trying to open an Access database which was created a few years ago... When I open it to edit one of the forms I fail to see the forms etc that are in there.
Is there a hot key you hold down when opening the database to be able to open Access in full edit mode showing all forms queries etc
I have just put together a small database, and have used the user-level security wizzard to set up groups so i can restrict access to the database.
I have also been through all the user and group permissions and tried to set the security up so that the data entry staff can enter data but not change any of the forms or queries.
This is where i am hitting the wall.... although i have set up this protection, when i access the database under the staff name and password I am still able to view the forms and queries in design view and change them.
Can someone plaese point out where I am going wrong
I'm new to the forum as well as I am new in using MS Access, so please don't lough :) I wasn't even sure whether this is the right subforum to post to....
Anyway here it goes....I have this really big database (nearly 5000 records) and I was wondering how could I make a query, perhaps outside of the Design View, and making it appear like a form e.g. let's say I want the query to display in form style (or even report...) the rest of the fields concerning a certain record when I just give the ID number of a person.
I am working on my first access project (please be patient and try to explain like to a child). My problems however are past the basic level so please bear with me ....
I am working on a datbase which deals with laboratory data from patients which have different date stamps - ie. each record has a 'valid time' (time of blood drowing) a 'transaction time' (time of entry into the DB) and 'delete time' (deleted recordes are just given a date and not really deleted).
The idea is that the user should be able to watch the status of the DB at different past dates (ie what did the doctor know about a patient blood tests a month ago when he made the decision to give him a medication which eventually harmed his kideneys). The user should also be able to change values of records, delete records (which means to add a date to the deleted date field) and to add new records.
I want to do it all using one form.
Things I have done so far: 1. Query by form which locates a specific record (Main-Form & singleRecQuery) 2. A subform in Main-Form which displays the results of singleRecQuery (Single-subform). The query and subform aer updated by a macro once I enter all the data into main-form. 3. A qury by form derived from Main-Form which locates a range of values (Range-subfrom & Range-Query)
My problem spans both forms and queries (so I am posting in both forums): 1. I want to create an update query that will draw its data from Single-subform (the form which displays the results of singleRecQuery). I have created the qury without a problem but the fields in the form are locked for entering data (maybe because they are bound). Is there any way to enter data in such a form which is based on a query and then use the new data in another query ? (I tried allowing data entery in the forms properties but it deos't work).
2. I have tried to put a criterion in the queries on the "Delete Date" field so that the quries will not display the deleted records (I have tried "is null" "is empty" and "is missing") but when I run the query with these parameters I get no records back.
3. In the form I have a command buton which runs a macro that runs the qury and then update dthe subform. Is there a way to get this button to run different macros after different events in the form or do I have to add a button for every specific task I want.
4. As I have mentioned the Main-fom is supposed to run 3 differnt queries and display the results on the same form. I know how to make a subform invisable but is there a way to place all three result subforms in the same spot ?
I have a form and its source is a query. There are only 5 things on the form that can be modified, the rest is just displayed.
the 5 things are within a table b. In my design view i link up table b with the already made crosstab query. (everything within the crosstab query are just for display on the form). Within the design view I put * from the crosstab query (everything) and then the fields from table b (all 5 of them).Everything on the form is working and is linked up properly, but when i go to type in them it is locked. (well they arn't within the property), but i cant type in them. This is for all 5 fields on the form.
When i then go back into the source and remove the crosstab query, i can then type into the fields.
Any ideas?
** p.s When i create the same query normal it doesn't allow me to type in the datasheet view either **
I am creating a program that will allow the user to select a sale and pull up only those product items associated to that sale in the details. Any help would be appreciated. Then with in the details section the user will/should be able to enter in the Quantity needed to order. Any suggestions on how to do this. My tblSale does provide the data needed so how do I get the data to go to the form?
I am new to this forum so if I have not asked properly I apologise now.
The Database is attached. Form Orders is the form that I am using to accomplish my task. The getproducts4Sale Query is the information needed.
I currently have a query and a table which I'd like to create a form for. The query has people's information in it and the table has RSVP information in it (if they need parking, etc.). I'd like to create a form so that I can type in the person's name and then it brings up their address (just to confirm it's the right person) and then i can enter in the RSVP information. Any suggestions?
