Viewing Database Info In A Data Access Page
Oct 18, 2004I am very new to access and have a question which I think is very easy to answer. What I have is an access file with a listing of companies, their contacts and what services we provide for them. (each company/client/service is listed in a row with each new set of information on the row below it).
What I am looking to do it to create a data access page that anyone in our office can view. I want the access page to have a text box where they can type in the name of the company, then click a 'search' button. That will then display the results in a box below everything. The results would be the contact and the services (there are other columns in the datasource as well, but I didn't list them).
If anyone can shed some light onto my problem it would be most appreciated!
Thanks
Viewing Entire Contents Of A Text Field
Oct 25, 2004I am trying to view the contents of a text field in a form. The field can only be a limited size in the form, but I want to store a lot of text in the field and have it visible without having to enter the field and use the arrow keys to view the contents. Is it possible to programme a function that shows the contents of a field when I roll the mouse over it or something like that? The "Control Tip Text" is the principal of what I am trying to do except this gives a fixed value. When used in web page development I think this function is refered to as "Alt tag"

How Do You Get The Combo Box Text To Follow The Mouse Wheel?
Jun 3, 2005I am a completely green when it comes to Access and MVB. I've surprised myself in creating the db and form.
My db is for troubleshooting outlet issues. I have a list of outlets and their various configurations. Users NEVER add or change any info. They select the outlet from a combo box and view the information. The problem is that you can move the wheel and change the outlet information being displayed but the combo box does not reflect the change; it continues to show the initially selected outlet name.
How do you get the combo box text to follow the mouse wheel?
I thought an easier solution would be to disable the mouse wheel, but in looking through this forum, apparently not.
I am using Access2000 on an XP machine. . .
Forms :: Keep Mouse Cursor At The End Of Text Box After On Change Event Procedure?
Oct 30, 2013I made an On Change Procedure on a textbox, so everytime I input a character, it will trigger the Me.Requery.
However, after that the event, the mouse cursor moved to the beginning of other field. I want it to stay at the end of the textbox so I can enter a full word, how do I do that?
Code:
Private Sub Text73_Change()
ProjectSearch = Me.Text73
Me.Filter = "[Project Name] Like " & Chr(34) & ProjectSearch & "*" & Chr(34)
Me.FilterOn=True
Me.Requery
End Sub

Calendar And Text Boxes To Show Info
Apr 20, 2005Ok, 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.
Thanks ;)
Pull Info From One Text Box Forward To New Record
Aug 10, 2005Looking for an automation solution
currently I have a database for client progress and prescriptions. when the file is opened it is set for data entry so that a clean note form is opened. I have a button that pulls up past notes for their review.
it has been requested that there be a way to pull the last narative field forward to the new record for editing as a number of the features of the narative remain the same.
Currently the only way is for them to open the last seen note hightlight the field and past into the new note. to high level for some of them.
Need to make this an automated feature where they would just click on a button and the process would all occur behind the scean and the note would apper in the new note narative box.
I know that I could tell the form to not be for data entry but then they write over the last note. this needs to be a new record.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated

I think I’m in over my head… but you have to learn somehow :confused:
Modules & VBA :: Info From Linked Text File
Aug 11, 2014I have a linked *.txt file and a qwery that returns the top 1 record from it. (The ideea is to check a value from one column of the file).Both the linked file/table and the query run corectly,I have a vba code on the on open of a form that is checking the query above mentioned (the form is on the Startup option of the database) and when I need to use the Dcount of the Query "
Code:
DCnt = DCount("Den_Fis", "Data_R_Mod_U$G9707014")
I get the "Runtime error 3625: the text file specification..." doesn't exist etc.I pres debug and test the query, I get the "Unknown Jet Error".I press Stop in the VBA and open the Qry - it shows what is was ment to show.I know the workaround is to make a maketable with the needed info and the Dcount on the local table, but it would add one query and one table to the database.

Auto Populate Text Field With Info
Feb 15, 2015I have a text field that I would like to have some information automatically populated when the form is open. I know the basics but the trouble I am having is having the date and time populated before the default text.
Here is what I tried but no luck on it
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strQuery As String
'Dim js As Integer
Dim currDateTime As Date
currDateTime = Now()
Me.Description = " & currDateTime & " & " " & "J.Adams 41066 CLT SMB - AM : " & " " & ""

Displaying Aggregate Info About Query In Text Box
Feb 5, 2013I working with Access 2010 and a form with criteria controls, a requery button and a subform that displays the query. I wanted to add a text box that would display some aggregate information about the query results. Like how many results were returned or what the average is in a column of numbers stuff like that.
If at all possible I was hoping to have the text box display aggregate information of the whole query but when a specific entry in the table is clicked I was hoping to have it show aggregate detailed information about that entry opposed to the whole table. So I am not sure if that changes the solution but I wanted to put it out there.In my searches it looks like Dlookup is the way to go but I have seen a lot of people use Dlookup in very different ways so I might be wrong.
General :: Form With Text Boxes That Are For Displaying Info To Users

I want to lock them so that users can not click on them or high light the fields. So basically the user can only click on fields I want them to.
View 4 Replies View RelatedTables :: Viewing Text In Tables And Not Numbers
Feb 24, 2015I know this is an Access 101 question, but what is the best way to view text rather than numbers in my tables. In an example which I have attached, an Orders table shows the Customer field as a number. I would like to view the actual customer name when I am looking at the table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUpdate Order Info Based On Quote Info
Nov 7, 2006I need help on this, from what the best concept is, to what I need to look into using:
I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
Thank you.
Viewing All Records
Apr 18, 2006Hi, can anyone please help me.
I've just set up a form with 2 pages which I can add data into, but for some reason, I can't view all records.
I've tried using the switchboard to add buttons to both add records and view (but they both only add), and i've also set up my own button with the instruction to view all records, but it just won't work.
On the first page the data source is tbl_CompanyInfo, and on the second page, the data source is a subform with the data source tbl_Contacts. The subform will link contacts to the company info via the CompanyID field. I hope that makes sense.
Can anyone please tell me how I can view all of the data via the form.
Thanks very much
Viewing Only Those Data With Value
Sep 29, 2006I'm wondering how can I view only those query data with value in certain fields.
For example in a record of students with check marks, view only those students with check marks and leaving those having no check mark out.
I know it has something to do with the criteria but not sure what. I've already search the MS Access Help as well as this forum and have not found anything.
Thanks in advance.
Subform Viewing
Jul 21, 2006I am working creating a data entry form. I am using the data entry option in the form properties to do this. However, when I do this, my subforms do not display any information.
Ideally, I would like them to display information when the field linked to the subform is entered on the main form. Is there an option for this ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Viewing HTML In A Form
Apr 14, 2006I've used Access 2003 to create a database which contains a table linked directly to the "Orders" table on my mysql server. This table holds all of the customer orders placed on our website. I next created a form in access to give me a nice justified view of the orders.
My Problem? The field on the mysql server that holds the line item details for each order is a "Memo" field, and all of the text is formatted in html it appears. When viewed on the form, I see the all of the raw code, and not the nicely formatted text. If i highlight a section of the code from the form, and paste it in a Html editor (Frontpage for example), I see the line items nicely formatted as intended.
Is there a way to get this memo field to display the formatted html text instead?
My access skills are pretty limited, so detailed steps would be appreciated.
Size Of Viewing Window?
Mar 4, 2007Hi All,
users can opening a file (either .doc, exe or .pdf) with additional data to the record they're looking at by clicking on a icon on a form. The icon has code behind it that opens the document (Application.FollowHyperlink NameDocTo Open). That opens the doc OK, no problem, but what is a problem is that the window for this document is exactly the same size as the window of the access form from which the second doc is opened.
The size of the access window is defined. I'd like to get the word or excel or pdf to be maximized. The weird thing is that I use the same code in another database and there the 'secondary doc' opens in a new window and of large enough size. How can the same code generate 2 outcomes? And how can I fix the issue described?
Thanks guys.
Record Viewing Within Tables
Apr 29, 2008I was wondering if there is some setting that can be set such that certain records within a table are not visible when the table is opened, or a form is accessing its records.
It seems from time to time, some records seem to 'disappear' from view?!?
Other than a filter...
Does anyone know how this is possible, and what can be set or specified in order for this to be happening?
Thank you for any enlightenment...
Viewing Contents Of Two Tables
Aug 27, 2007Greetings to All,
I have one table (tblLink) that resides on an SQL Server quite a distance from me. I have another table (tblLink_r) that resides in a local .mdb file. The tables are identical except for the data they contain and where they are located. Only one index (LinkIdx=autonumber) exists. I am making sure there are no duplicate indicies in the LinkIdx fields because I started the LinkIdx field in tblLink_r at 2100000000.
When I open tblLink (remote), I can scroll to the end of the 21,000 records relatively quickly - read: little latency. Queries performed on this table similarly show little latency.
When I open tblLink_r, I also have little latency. This table has 100 records.
I need a single object which contains the contents of tblLink and tblLink_r. I have tried a UNION ALL, but this query takes upwards of 4 minutes to complete which I can't understand since either of the constituent tables only take ~.5 seconds to call up.
I am hoping someone can provide a way to speed up the UNION ALL query or provide an alternate means to combine the contents of these tables.
