This may seem like a dumb question.
Is there any way to make a checkbox object larger, or to change the character that signifies that the box is checked ( for instance a character "X" instead of qa check??
Thanks
I have a field that is in text format that is used as a discussion box. This limits the user to 250 characters because of Access limitations. I have tried the memo format but that will not allow me to query off of that field. How can I have this discussion field with unlimited text capability and also be able to query off of it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello people,
Say for example, in two fields within my dropdown for Camera Status in the Maintenance table...
FIT FOR PURPOSE - Availability Checkbox = Yes
What expression do I need in expression builder, so that Selecting UNDER REPAIR or FAULTY/DAMAGED instead makes the checkbox availability turn to unchecked automatically within a form, without the need to manually change the checkbox?
How do I do this?
Thank you.
Neil.
I'm trying to put in a Where Condition for an ApplyFilter action, but it only allows up to 255 characters, I need more. I have very little experience using code!I want this to be the Where Condition:
Code:
[Program Name] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Organization] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Program Type] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Main Office City] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Main Office Province] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*"
How do I make this into the Where Condition? An full example would be nice.
I have copied and pasted some data into a table from Excel but Access wont let me add in any more data to the table - a notice comes up saying "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data".
How can I add my extra information to the bottom of the table?
Is there a simple way of increasing the size of the yes/no box on a form
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to run compact and repair on any database that is ~500MB or larger, Access crashes . It is pretty consistent on when it crashes.. e.g. a DB that is 692MB crashes when the temp DB reaches 569MB.
Here is where it gets stranger. .problem happens on multiple databases and I can copy the DB to another computer with Access 2007 (Same version) and Compact/Repair works fine.

I'm having a problem with my database filesize getting larger with the more searches i do. At first i couldn't figure out how it was getting so big, but then i tried a few things and came to the conclusion that every time i do a search it increases its filezile.what made me notice this at first is that the file size of the original copy of my db is 13MB, but if i Save As a different name, like Assets_Backup, then the size of the new file is only 2MB, and after i do some searches it increases again.here is a file with just my search form and search query so you can see the code for them. i removed everything else to shrink the file down, which also made the search form not function properly, but i thought the design and code might be enough.is there something that i can change to keep it from remembering every search?thanks for any help.--------------------after searching the topic a bit more i've found that compacting the database will shrink it down to 2MB, but is this something that will have to be done on a regular basis, or is there a way for it to do it on its own?

View 14 Replies View Related;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
Thanks

Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

Any idea how I can display this information a lot neater?
Its a bunch of check boxes (I wasn't sure how to go about doing this without them, as they can choose multiple things, if it was just 1, I would have used a dropdown).
I've been trying to fiddle with this for a while now with no good ideas coming to mind.
Anyone have any ideas or examples of how I could go about this?
Thanks
I am trying to use check boxes as a yes/no answer about whether members have completed training modules, and bind them to a table.
I get this error when tick the boxes, and try to close the form; "The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. (Error 3022)"
When I reopen the form the check boxes are greyed out until i tick them (not getting values from table) :confused:
Any help appreciated :confused: :)

I have a form that uses checkboxes to list all the fields in a table. How would I create a query based on that form?
For example -
Field Names - RMA_Num, Qty, Date_Rec, Part_Num, Desc, CC_Primary, CC_Secondary, CC_Tertiary, OF_Appearance
A user may choose to see Qty, Part_num, CC_Primary, CC_Secondary, and CC_Tertiary. How would I set up the query?
For testing I tried having RMA_Num, Qty, and Date_Rec in a query. I set the criteria for RMA_Num as IIf([Forms]![frm_meta]![Check0]=True,[tbl_Mfg_RMAData]![RMA_Num])
With the box checked the query will return results for all the fields. But if the box is unchecked the query returns nothing.
I have 4 check boxes represent 4 grade levels. When I click on a grade I have a query run for me a list of all 9th graders or 10th graders or both together.
When I run the form for the first time, all four boxes are check, when I unclick all of them and I click which ones I want the form does not work. But if I leave them click the report will work. Basically what is happening is when I unclick them, the lose their value.
I have the check box set up with a Default Value as "09" or "10" base on what Grade Level there is.
So my two questions are, how do I keep the value of the check boxes after I unclick and click again and Secondly, is there a way to have the boxes unchecked when I run the program?
I have form, with a number of orders on there, i wanted to be able to give the user the option to select all the orders and update each record, however when i give the user the option to seleect all the orders on the first line is updated. how can i get all the records to be updated the code i am using is shown below, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim String2 As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

I have a database which uses checkboxes, however I only want my users to be able to select one or the other, not both.
How do I disable the second box when the first one is checked?
Thanks in advance

Sorry, but this is killing me. I can't find anything in the archive which directly relates.
And it's complicated. I'll try to simplify.
In a nutshell:
As I scroll each Employee on a Parent form, I'd like a subform with functionality to check off any Certifications earned by this person and write the EmployeeID and CertificationID to a junction table.
Seems to me it should be simple, but...
Anyway, here is the probably overcomplicated version here:
The one side tables are 1. Employees and 2. Certifications
The junction table records which certifications employees possess. This table contains some Boolean fields.
The Parent form knows the EmployeeID.
My goal is to create a subform on which to display the full list of Certifications, something similar to the attached image, with a button to add an EmployeeID to the junction table AND tick off the Boolean checkboxes.
I've based the subform on a query showing ALL Certifications and all (Junction) records where there is a match
Because the junction table only stores related Employees and Certifications as entered, the checkboxes on my subform cannot be bound directly to the fields in the junction table and, at the same time, allow me to check off the Booleans.
Perhaps a little db redesign? Any help greatly appreciated.
Let me just start off by saying, I don't have any code to post as it is just an idea I have.
This is a Lease return project for work. We have an excel sheet that is broken up into tabs. Master List, Not Returned and then a tab for every month.
Here is what I would like to do.
If someone checks the box that says the leased computer was not returned, can I grab a certain batch of fields to automatically populate another Tab in this Access 2003 Form?
The second part to this would be if a person unchecks "Not Returned" in the Not Returned Tab, can I get that record automatically removed from that list view?
Similar principle for the Monthly shipping by a certain date. If the user enters in a shipped Date by say March 1, is there any way to populate a another tab into a list view?
Thanks for any advice that you gentlemen and ladies can provide.
i have checkboxes on a form and want to run a query based on the amount of times the checkbox(es) have been selected...
i have done this and attached a report however because the value of the checkboxes is -1 obviuosly the sum of this is a negative number and so on the report the total selcted is negative....
is there a way to change these to positive numbers...
and if so where do you put it.
cheers in advance

The other day I check with various people on how I might get column information added together as it relates to checkboxes. Yet, I am still having trouble making this work, please read the following. Any help is appreciated.
Example: Item A (if checked)= 33%, Item B (if checked)= 33%, Item C (if checked)= 33%. Once adding (if A & B are checked) shows that I have 66% completion on that particular project.
I was instructed to...........create a text box on a form, set the format property to 'Percent' and the 'Control source' can look like this:
=iif([ItemA]=True,0.33,0)+iif([ItemB]=True,0.33,0)+iif([ItemC]=True,0.33,0)
This will add these three items up and give you the percentage. You can also do the same in a query to based your reports on these percentages.
Yet, It isn't working properly. Any ideas?
I am new to Access coding. I'm trying to do the following in Access 2000.
I have a form which includes some tabs. On one tab I would like to display a list of items from an Access lookup table with a checkbox next to each item. The list needs to be drawn dynamically from the table since the table contents can change. I tried using the subform/subreport control with a querry as the source object but the display is not very nice. Basicly I want the tab to look like the picture enclosed but dynamically drawn from the values in the lookup table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am very new to Access, so bear with me please.
How do you create a form that will query a list from a table, and then separate each invidivual entry from the query into its own checkbox?
Example:
*run query or something similar, and 3 items are brought up*
Tracking Form 00001:
Item1 [x]
Item2 [x]
Item3 [x]
Each individual item in the query might change, so I want to keep it flexible. Once all of the checkbox options are organized and put onto that section of the form, I want to append all of the values that were checked off into a field on another table. So for example let's say the person inputting the form checked off item1 and item3, the field on the table linked to it would now have field1="item1, item3".
Is there a way to do this without a lot of coding, possibly just using the menu-driven interfaces and maybe a coded query? I am not that familiar with Access so any help is appreciated.
Bit of a novice here...please help!
I have a table listing product # follwed by 12 different bullet points (all text fields). Each bullet field has a corresponding checkbox field stating whether that item should be deleted or not before it is posted to the server. If the item is marked for deletion, the next bullet point needs to move over to the field, leaving no null fields for the final result. Following? I hope so. In addition, some of the bullet fields are currently null and need to be deleted as well. I'm pretty good with designing select queries and basic stuff and I know a little SQL, so any help is greatly appreciated.
How do you count how many times a checkbox has been checked?
