I have been able to successfully solve the problem of my pages showing relevant records by using form control. How should I make my form display a new record everytime I open it? So, that when a lame user opens it , he wouldnt change the existing data on an existing record. How to solve this problem? Kindly help. thanks
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 have three identical Combo Boxes which show the names of the classes in our school. They are just three copies of the same combo box. What I want is this: I choose three different classes from these three boxes. Then I want a button at the bottom which when pressed, should show the records of these three classes separately. Preferably, as three columns.I have made the Combo Boxes, but am stuck at the button to perform these actions.
I have a form based on a query in datasheet view. What i would like is to show only those records that fulfill the truepart of iif statment, and do not show the ones that fulfill the false part.
I have the following fileds in the query
month currency 1 checkbox currency 2 checkbox sum
In the form, the control named month contains the following code:
control source: =IIf([checkbox1]=no;[month];0)
So this gives the appropriate months, but also shows the all other records with a 0 in the month field. I would like to get only the records shown that are correct with the truepart of the statement.
I know this is probably a stupid question and I'm overlooking something obvious, but... I have a Long Integer field that has an input mask requirement of 7 numbers. Sometimes the number starts with a 0, but instead of showing as 0468165, it shows up as 468165. I want the 0 to show at the beginning. How can I do this? Thanks!
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
i want the user to make a selection from one of two option boxes, with the choice that they make i want a list box to appear straight away, depending on there selection, can anyone help please.
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.
Expressions in Access have given me some trouble before. Mainly due to inexperience. I hardly ever work with them. What I am trying to do is make the default value of a form textbox control the minimum value of a field A in a table A. The datatype of Field A is Date.
So far I've got:
=Min([table A].[field A])
In the Default Value of the form's property sheet, but this just returns a blank value. I've had a look in the table and there is no value that is blank in field A.
i have a form hooked up to a table (pretty obvious i guess). anyway, what i would like be to able to do is be able to enter multiple entries, navigate them using the navigation buttons, close the form, then reopen and not be able to use the navigation buttons to look at ones that have previously been entered.
i could use the onclose function to run a query taking the results from the table and putting them into a different table while deleting the table hooked up to the form, but i was wondering if there is a way to accomplish this using just the one table.
Im kinda new to Access and only been using the "Access 2003 for Dummies" for learning and making small databases. So far I can find out how to do the things I want, but recently got stuck with a combo box feature. What im trying to do is select entries in my combo box so that it will filter the table and show all its contents based on that filter. Im not sure how to link the combo boxes the right way and it seems some VB coding is needed which I dont normally use. If anyone has any idea how to do it, tell me how! Thanks. BTW im using Access 97.
Ok, nobody chew me out... I know there's over 500 posts regarding calendars on here because I've read just about every single one and haven't found any answers yet. All of the posts that vaguely resembled what I'm looking for had no replies.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
First I've got 4 tables, each has different data including a start date, start time, end date, end time and description. Each table pertains to a completely different subject. The tables are already populated (imported from excel).
I've got a form with a calendar control (Ms Cal 7) in it... and that's about has far as I have gotten.
I would like to be able to open the form and have the calendar show all events for the current date (i found how to make the calendar show the current date, it's just populating the text boxes that I'm having a problem with).
So, here's how I would like it to work...
When the form is opened, you can click on a specific date (or don't click anything and it shows the current date). Then the textboxes show the info for that date.
Example:
Calendar = 4/20/2005 (Calendar control here)
Textbox1 = select from table A where subject="codereds" and start date = calendar control date
Textbox2 = select from table B where subject ="codeblues" and start date = calendar control date
Textbox3 = select from table C where subject="codegreens" and start date = calendar control date
Ok, anybody got a clue on how I can do this because I've had no luck finding it anywhere.
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 ?
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.
Hi ,I have to make some specific records in a table in bold.Can any body suggest me how to make a particular record in bold or set some color fonts in order to high light the record. I have to design a report which shows some priority records with different font style in ms access

I have query that creates table with 2 records each with 2 columns (2x2) and they do not have indexed ID,and query is related to combo box in other form so results are not always same but it is always (2x2) and value types are always same,
So how to show those results in text box in form,lets say 4 text boxes ,every value in one text box, i assume that i need to use DLookup() but i was able only to show first record,did not know what criteria put to go to second record.
When i select that query and create report i get what i want but i cant copy those text boxes to form that i want.
I have a form with various controls that reflect dollar amounts.
One of those controls, despite deleting and replacing it, despite deleting the field whose value it displays, despite changing it to 'general number', saving, then changing back, despite comparing its properties with that of numerous normal-behaving controls, refuses to show a dollar sign, nor zero cents values. I've compressed and repaired in between deleting fields and controls, too, to no avail.
Otherwise it is working correctly in that calculations based on it work fine and it shows the number of dollars it's supposed to. Just no dollar sign and refuses to show zero cents...
Can anyone suggest to me what's up with this thing?
I'm trying to use the Access 2010 web browser control to dynamically show a PDF.
The base file path is a constant (R:MS_ACCESS_PROJECTSSAFETYIMAGESMSDS SHEETS)
and the dynamic part is two fields from the selected record:
me.txtMsdsID & "." & me.txtVersion
what is the simplest way to "bind" this so that when a record changes it automatically refreshes this control? I've tried setting it with VBA, but it's not working consistently.
I know the issues isn't the file path, as it works fine if I paste it in windows explorer.
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.
