How To Position Footer After All Detail Control Boxes
Aug 8, 2006
Hi
I have a standard form with Header, Detail, and Footer sections.
The detail section is populated by a mixture of queries and calculated control boxes.
When the detail section overruns its space, I get a vertical scroll bar to the right and then the footer is displayed. So, the footer always stays where it is and the scroll bar only moves the detail section.
Is it possible to get the scroll bar moving the whole lot so that the footer is not permanently viewable on the page and would appear after all the Detail boxes ?
The first report example is what I get when I start on the main form and select an organization, run the report, opens report - BIG SPACE between the details and my footer section which holds a subform.
The second report is what I need it to look like, what's strange to me is I get the report correctly when I just run the report (I don't pass the organization into the report from the main form)
I tried changing the background color of the detail section and the footer section to figure out where my problem is but the space just stays white.
I have some graphs on a report that I need to dynamically position. The user selects which graphs he wants to put in and then the reports repositions the graphs based on input.
I've been using the following code to move the graph:
reports!rpoly.gGPCMWbyDRI.top = 3.625
which compiles, but moves the chart to the "0" position. I tried using a string ("3.625"""), or a stint ("3.625") but neither worked.
I want to progammatically align the report controls position. I have a control with left=2.7 in the Design view property. I want to set programmatically set this value to 3.0 or other value accoring to a parameters. The problem is that when I set this property at the event Report-Open, the control appears always in another position regardless of the left value, i.e appears always at the new constant position.
Is it possible to make a control have a fixed position so that when the form is vertically scrolled the object stays in the same position?
I have a continuous form that shows records based on criteria that the user puts into an earlier form. There is a close button on the page but you cannot see the close button if you horizontally scroll too far along the page. You have to horizontally scroll because of the amount of fields that are on the form.
I recently found a neat little module which allows you to duplicate a right click & bring up pop up menu ( say by left clicking on a field). I find this very good for creating a nice little menu system in which I can reproduce the nice features of Access menus (I'm using Access 2002) but with a lot more flexibility.
So, I have a line of labels across the top of the form which are my top level menu items - when I click or mouse over these I want to have the pop up menu appear directly under the label. I can position the pop up menu manually by SetCursorPos(x,Y) but as my forms are Pop Up and can move this has proved to be a pain.
What I am after is something that will allow me to work out the coordinates of the left bottom of the label and then position the cursor there then drop the menu. The difficulty I'm having is converting or understanding the position of the label (me.label1.left etc) and relating that to what SetCursorPos needs.
It's my first post to the forum, but I've browsed it a lot the past week! Lots of info here. Unfortunately I couldn't find an answer to my question, so here it is: A simple Form attached to a Table. In the detail section of the Form the Table rows are displayed (all simple textboxes) and there is a hidden button on the row. When I put the focus on a textbox in a row, I want to set visible=TRUE for the little button in that specific row. Obviously I want the button remain hidden for all other rows!
Is there a way to accomplish this, changing the properties of a control in a specific row? When I set visible=TRUE, all rows suddenly display the button.
I have entered an unbound text control into my footer, and typed in some text, and now when I go to Preview my report it's asking for a Parameter Value? There is no parameter, as it's just a return address typed in there. That's crazy!!!
I have a music database in which I keep track of my CDs and how many times I've listened to them. I have a report that uses grouping to show me the total listens for each artist for each year - the totals are in a group footer, with nothing in the detail section of the report. It looks something like this:
The first line is the column header showing years (last 2 digits for space reasons).
The second and subsequent lines are created in the group footer section, first is the artist name, then the Sum of listens for all titles by that artist in the year given ([Sum of Listens1994]).
This report works perfectly.
Here's what I want to do, and I can't get it to work:
In the above lines of data, let's say that the earliest title for BAND1 is from 1975, and the earliest title for BAND2 is from 2001. My yearly counts start in 1994. Therefore, there were listens for BAND1 prior to 1994, but there weren't any listens for BAND2 prior to 2001.
GOAL: Instead of showing "00" on the BAND2 line for years 1994-2000, I want them blank.
I've put a conditional format code in OnFormat for the group footer section, telling Access to turn visibility off for the text box control ([Sum of Listens1994] etc) if the [Earliest] field (which contains 2001) is greater than the year being displayed (1994 first, and so on). This, which seems like it should work, makes no difference. Oddly, if I put a F9 code break on the If statement, it never breaks, which makes me believe the code is never even being executed.
I do have prior experience with controlling field visibility in forms and reports, so the concepts aren't new to me. I feel like the big difference with this one is that it's in the group footer section rather than the detail section. [Access 2013]
I have some reports which lay my data out perfectly.For example,Report headerPage headerDetailsPage footerReport footerNow, I'd like to have exactly the same layout on some forms but with various buttons, etc. for manipulating data.The only problem is that when I put something on the form footer, it appears at the bottom of the viewable screen area no matter whether the detail area should overrun or not ?Is this due to form size or something else?Ideally I'd like to have it appear right at the bottom of the form and allow the user to scroll down the form to see the footer.
I'm trying to create a report where I can use a section header as a hyperlink to show/hide detail, but only for that section. For example, my customer names are:
Code: ABC Co. ZYX Co. 123 Co.
If I click on ZYX Co., I want it to show the contracts for ONLY that customer:
I want the calendar to show the date in the field [Next Payment Due] - whenever this value changes, the calendar date should change accordingly.
I want the calendar to be assigned to a text box (txtCalDate), so this would also contain the date of [Next Payment Due].
However, If the calendar date is changed (on the calendar), I want txtCalDate to show this date, but [Next Payment Due] to stay as it's original value. Next Payment Due can only change the value, but not be changed itself.
So I presume VBA would be needed to say when [Next Payment Due] is changed, make calendar this date. And then to simply assign the calendar to txtCalDate so if calendar is changed, this will change with the new date.
Is it possible to simulate a control array in MS Access?
I’m using a restricted version of Access 2000. I can use all normal features but some Active X controls are not licensed and it will not be possible to licence them in time I have available for my project.
I have a form which has 14 combo boxes and 24 text boxes to allow user to choose shift type and enter start and end times of shift. I know in VB 6 I have used control arrays which has vastly simplified the whole code.
I have experimented with treating the text boxes as objects and trying to create a string with the first part of the name and using numbers to differentiate between the textboxes but Access does not seem to like this.
I'm very good with utilizing the access tools however I can only code in vb editor minimally. What I'm looking to do is have the option buttons control two combo boxes. One to search by user name and the other to search by serial #. I've created an option group with two buttons I set the default values in the combo boxes in accordance with the option buttons However, the option buttons aren't doing what they are supposed to do. I've been told I need to tweak the code for the buttons in order to make them control the combo boxes. Does anybody know what I need to do to make this happen? Ultimately the user will be able to click either of the buttons to perform a search through a single combo box.
Thanks to everyone out there for making this possible. Your expert knowledge will help me grow into an expert myself.
Hello, I've got a text box on my form header with a calculation in the control source that adds values from other text boxes on my form. My problem is that since the calculation is in the control source of my text box I can not save the sum of the calculation to a field on the forms bound table. Is there a way to move this calculation out of the control source and still have the calculation populate this text box with the sum of the calculation, so I can choice a field in which to save this calculations sum.
Calculation in the text box control source= [Tot40yrcomp]+[Totfelt1536]+[Totfelt3036]+ there will be many more other text boxes added.
I have a set of cascading combo boxes. When a value is selected in Cat 1 ID, it narrows down the selections in Cat 2 ID which narrows down the selections in Cat 3 ID.
However, the values don't show up for columns Cat 2 ID or Cat 3 ID until I enter the row. Then I have it set to requery the fields because the underlying data isn't populated. But then when I leave the row, the values go away.
Why doesn't it show the underlying value from the table? Each column is bound to a field in a table - I would assume that the recorded value would show up. Did I miss something easy?
I am trying to create an invoice report. I want to add all the costs from the detail section in my footer. I have accomplished this in either the Report footer and/or the page footer, but the problem is that the report footer doesn't go to the bottom of the page, and the page footer doesn't go to just the last page. I have tested a bunch of suggestions that don't seem to work.
1. Print page footer with Report header = NO - only works if your report is two pages or more.
2. Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Page = Pages Then Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = True Else Me.[TextBoxName].Visible = False End If End Sub
The Page functions worked, but it did not change the results from page to page. If it was a two page report, then the if statement is false and the text box was not visible on page 1, but it also was not visible on page 2.
I have a Logo which is actually startup form. I need a code to position this statrup form on near to bottom right corner of access window in all resolution. How ever at present I am using code :
Res = GetScreenResolution()
If Res = "800x600" Then DoCmd.MoveSize 9600, 5600 ElseIf Res = "1024x768" Then DoCmd.MoveSize 13000, 8000 ElseIf Res = "1152x864" Then DoCmd.MoveSize 14500, 9500 ElseIf Res = "1280x720" Then DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 7200 ElseIf Res = "1280x768" Then DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 7800 ElseIf Res = "1280x1024" Then DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 11400
End If
But some times user use the application on different resulotion other then mentioned in code, the position of startup form looks awkward.
Please Could any one help out, i have this Database am building for students in a school, The attached WORLD file respresnt a query in the database. The Position in class and Position in level is suppose to grade the student automatically i.e 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th e.t.c. according to the score in a particular subject in their class and in the level.
I dont know how to go about this, am not even sure if this could be done using the query or i should do it using VBA on the report sheet that i generated from the query.
If any one has any idea on how to go about it please let me know it will be highly appreciated.
if i open a form which has 100 records in it, in the navigational buttons at the bottom i can see the number of the record which i am viewing ... for instance record 24 of 100 ... Now if i decide to set the navigational buttons to not be displayed, is there any way through code, in which i can get the record number (for example Record 24) ?
ive got a form that has several textboxes. The cursor in all textboxes appears on the left hand side (which is good), but one field shows the cursor on the right side??!!! how do i change this, i want the cursor to be on the left hand side like the rest?
I want when the form ativate to reput it in the center of the screen. is there any property to do this in the code, as the autocenter is set only in the design view
