Where can I find information on the format of 'forms!' ? I want to extract
multiple items in a listbox or combo box and write the data to a table.
Any samples/help will be greatly appreciated . . .
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
I have a table (Table 1) with a field (F1) that has a numeric value. The data in this table is imported trough an excel and is going to be updated regularly.
F1 consists of a four digit number (1234) but if the first one, two or three numbers are a zero (ie. 0033) Access only display "33". I have solved this in Querys by using: Format([Table 1.[F1];"0000").How do i use Format([Table 1.[F1];"0000") or similar when i display data from Table 1 -> F1 in a form?
In the bit of code below how do I set QTY to be right aligned using the Format keyword? Example of the output I am trying to get with my output strings is
1600.00 ***1.00 **15.00 *100.00
I've messed about with the format function but no quite there yet.
code: Set rs2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qry_test") With rs2 Do Until .EOF StrBody = StrBody & vbCrLf & _ "" & !Item & "" & !Desc & " " & Format(!QTY, "##0.00") & " " & !PRICE & ""
I have a list of patients that are seeing various clinicians in a clinic. Currently everything is on paper and when a patient arrives we highlight their name on the list. So now that I'm finally moving everything paperless, I want to have the record become "highlighted" when I select patient has arrived. The only problem is as it's a continuous form, the formatting changes on all records. Here is the screenshot before anyone arrives:
Those are two separate records that you see. Behind all of those fields is a box coloured #E7F442 (optic yellow-ish). What I want is when I select "Arrived" from the dropdown, for the fields on the left (name, number, appointment type, etc) to become transparent so the yellow shows through and looks highlighted. I've used this code:
Code: Private Sub ATCST_AfterUpdate() If Me.ATCST = "Arrived" Then Me.RGBCHID.BackStyle = 0 Me.PATNAME.BackStyle = 0 Me.TCDESC.BackStyle = 0 Me.VISPURP.BackStyle = 0 Me.ATCMNT.BackStyle = 0 Me.ATTIME.BackStyle = 0 Me.ATCST.BackStyle = 0
[code]....
Making the whole code utterly useless, as it's changing the formatting on every record. Is there a way to program this so the formatting changes only affect the record I'm working on at that moment?
Which option in property window is responsible for group lining up of some controls vertically? how to ungroup them to allow resize one individually. I could not also find option in menu for removing pre-formatting of those controls.
we would like to enter text that is always in this format,2013 04 11 / 09:15...I have tried using the field as date, with the formatting of yyyy mm dd / hh:mm...but the records keep showing a data entry problems with this format.
I am new to Access. I am using Access 2010. I have searched and found several articles on emailing the current record shown on a form but haven't been able to get any of them to work.
My goal is to have a user input information onto the form and then have one button the user will click that will save the current record, email the current record in pdf, and then close the form.
The form name is: frmCorrectiveActions. The unique identifier for a record is: Corrective Action ID.
The last coding I tried is below. I know something is wrong but have copied this code from another post about emailing forms so I'm not even sure what half of it means.
I am getting the message Run-time error '3075': Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression "Corrective Actions ID = 23' and when I hit debug this is highlighted: qry.SQL = strSQL
form Private Sub Email_Click() Dim qry As DAO.QueryDef Dim strSQL As String Dim ReportQueryName As String ReportQueryName = "qryCorrectiveActions" Set qry = CurrentDb.QueryDefs(ReportQueryName)
I need the auto number to be in specified format as ASI-23-0001. So I added the format "ASI-23-"0000 in the formats and I got it succesfully.The fueld name is "Part Number"
I have added the Part Number field to a form as combo and I was able to list the values in the drop down combo.
I wanted to use Dlookup command in the program to auto fill the next field in the form say "Description".
I am using the following code Me.Text30 = DLookup("[Description]", "item_master", "[Part Number] = Form![Combo36]")
But now the data in the combo is treated as text because of the prefix "ASI-23" and I get data type mismatch error.
In previous versions of Access, certainly up to 2003, if you used the Format Painter to copy the format of a control to another, if those controls had associated labels then the format - and more importantly positioning of the label relative to the control - were also copied over. So for example if you had a column of controls on a form, you could format the first control and align its label correctly etc, and then use the format painter to quickly make it consistent down the column.
Access 2010 doesn't seem to do this. If I use format painter on a control, the format of the control gets altered correctly, but the associated label does not move and its format does not change.
This is difficult where you have several controls and you want to position the label associated with each consistently.
the source table needs to be formatted as short date...my form is pulling data from a query and I would like to change the row source of my combo box on the form to be formatted in long date. row source is as followed
Code: SELECT [qrydateSUM].[day of event] FROM qrydateSUM ORDER BY [day of event];
I have tried this with no luck
Code: SELECT [qrydateSUM].format([day of event],"long date") FROM qrydateSUM ORDER BY [day of event];
also changing the format option in combo box doesn't work...im thinking to add a day column to query...but there has to be a way to change row source
I have a small issue, but cannot solve it. I have a form with a textbox bound to a time(7) on a SQL server linked table.
Even if I put the format as "Short time 24h" or "hh:mm" it will always come out with seconds, nanoseconds, etc as soon as you change record. I would like to avoid using the "current" event to keep the "hh:mm" at any record change.
I have a database with a filter on the form which users can apply I know at the bottom of the form it highlights it as filtered but I want something a bit more prominent displayed on the form when a filter is active.
I have a messagebox and want to know if it is possible that the messagebox give me a date as 15/01/2015 and not 15/01/2015. Using dailog box as messagebox
Code: Private Sub Save_Click() Dialog.Box "Tape # : " & Me.Tape & vbCrLf & "Sticker # : " & Me.Container1 & vbCrLf & "Book # : " & Me.Book & vbCrLf & "Date send Out : " & Me.DateSendOut & vbCrLf & "Date to be back : " & Me.DateToBeBack & vbCrLf & "OS : " & Me.System, , "Saving............." End Sub
I have set a field on my FORM with the General Date format. Every time I use the date picker it inserts the correct date with a time of 00:00? I even changed the format on my table to general date - still no luck.
I have recently upgraded my Access 2003 application to Access 2010. I am running into a problem when formatting a textbox to 'Long Time' that is linked to a Double type field. The error that I get is 'The value you entered isn't valid for this field. You may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits.'
The textbox is linked to a field (double data type) and displays as the time in long format (4:06:17 PM). When I try to change to 4:07:17 PM I get the error. I tried removing the 'PM' and the colons but the error still occurs. The only way that I can get it to work is if I use a double value (0.735405092592593). In Access 2003 the time value would display properly, allow me to change the time and then save the time as a double to the database.
I want to be able to display the result of a difference between Date/Time values in "HH.MM" format (i.e. yes I want the result in decimals and I don't want Access to round up or down just because it feels like doing it!). I have used the following:
Example 1:
Dim ActualManHours as Long ActualManHours = (txtEndTime.Value - txtStartTime.Value) * 86400 txtActualManHours.Value = ActualManHours
Example 2:
Dim ActualManHours as Long ActualManHours = DateDiff("h",txtStartTime.Value, txtEndTime.Value) & "." & Format(DateDiff("n",txtStartTime.value,txtEndTime. value) Mod 60, "00")
Example 3:
Dim StartTime as Double Dim EndTime as Double Dim ActualManHours as Long StartTime = CDbl(txtStartTime.Value) EndTime = CDbl(txtEndTime.Value) ActualManHours = EndTime - StartTime txtActualManHours.Value = ActualManHours
I have a continuous form that displays data from a table. What I am trying to accomplish is to change the format of the field if the string length is equal to 11, to "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@". Otherwise if it is greater or less than 11 then no format.
I have tried it using code:
If Len(Me.FormFieldName)=11 Then Me.FormFieldName.Format = "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@" End If
Is it even possible and if so is my syntax correct or am I way off base?
Is there a way to format a memo field to ensure that sentences begin with capital letters. There might have been something in the strConv function, but it seems my hopes are dashed?
