Tables :: Hide Data - Show First Three Letters Of Last Name In Table
Sep 17, 2013
I am creating a database for an ambulance organization to track call history. One of the fields that needs to be populated is patient's last name. I need to show the last name when printing the form for billing purpose. However, I only want to shoe the first three letters of the last name in the table. For example, if the patients last name is Smith. When printing the form I would see the name Smith, but in the table I would only see Smi**.
I have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?
I want to automatically hide all the tables in the database, and automatically hide any new tables that are created, imported thereafter, except one mastertable. How do i achieve this?
I have some tables with data where in one column the user will choose a status between 30-40 different options. They are choosing this option to show a reason why a trade was pended and not approved immediately. These reasons seem to change frequently and sometimes we no longer want to use an old reason.
I do reporting back several years, so I cannot just 'remove' a reason or it will be removed from the table and I will have blank reasons. When selecting the specific reason, the table takes the dropdown from another table that simply lists every possible reason. I want to know how I can make it so that the reason that is no longer in use remains on that connected table, but when the person entering data clicks the dropdown button, the removed or inactive reason no longer shows up as an option.
Previously I had seen people add a column to the connected table of reasons and use a "yes/no" check box to show if the reason is now Inactive. When you checked YES on inactive, the reason would disappear from the dropdown list. My issue is that I do not know what language or formula to use (or where to use it) so that when I click Inactive = Yes, the reason disappears from the dropdown menu.
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've got Form with some drawings on it and I'd like it change depending on what the user has entered in certain fields on the same form. For Example: when the user selects a certain type of item in the "Item1" field, I'd like the graphic to change (or another one appear) in the form. Basically an "If this is true, show this picture" type thing. I've been trying a few things to make this happen, but to no avail... :( Any incite anyone could give would be most appreciated.
How do I easy create a checkbox that displayes a field when I check it. For example, if I check a box named I agree, it shows a field with a phonenumber to call
I'm using access 2007. I'm trying to get a combo box on a form to show or hide an image on a report based on the combo box's value. It seemed simple, but I've tried lots of codes.
I have a sub form with checkboxes. Each check box represents one of the columns/fields in my query. If one of the boxes is checked, I only want the column that matches with the check box to appear. I have done some research and have came upon the ColumnHidden property.How would one do this in a macro or VBA format.
I want to automate a query so when the user views it they see only the columns that have data. Columns that do not have data are not there.I am using MS 2007
My Access tool is setup to import data into tables and then the user views the data imported. However, if their's no data (and no column to import) I want the query report to not include the column.
I use DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon" acToolbarNo (or acToolbarYes) depending on a value in a table which I have shown certain "trusted" users how to change.
But is it possible to do something similar with the Navigation Pane?
I want to add a section to my report and control the visible value based on page (1st, 2nd, etc...)
So:
1st page show 'Page Header' which has lots of detail, but dont show 'AccNum.Header' section.
2nd, 3rd, etc.. don't how 'Page Header' as I don't need lots of detail, but show the 'AccNum.Header' as this has customer name and Invoice numer, which is enough header information of all the rest of the pages.
Tried using 'On Page' and logoc aroung [Page] but no progress.
I want to show or hide a box on a continuous form. If there is a date in the ShopOut field i want the label to show up , if not then it will not appear.
I am trying
If IsNull(Me!ShopOut) Then Me.StillinShop.Visible = True Else Me.StillinShop.Visible = False End If
however, it shows the box whether there is a date in ShopOut on not. Is it possible to do this in a continous form or do i need somekind of me.record#.ShopOut or something.
I would like to know if the following is possible: I have a table, I have a form based on that table (datasheet view) and I would like for certain columns to visible or not based on the input on a Combobox (list of countries) that is based on another form.
I have searched on the web and I found that the following:
On a button based on the main menu form:
Code: Private Sub Go_Click() Dim stDocName As String Dim stOpen As String stOpen = Me!cboDest stDocName = "Datasheet" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , , , , stOpen
and then on the event "on open" of the form Datasheet I have inserted the following:
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Select Case OpenArgs Case "USA" Forms![Overflow]![Tasks].Visible = True Forms![Overflow]![Constant Number (Min)].Visible = True
[Code] ....
I have done it as a test, but it appears that it does not work. It opens the forms, but it does not hide or show the columns based on the option, it brings all the columns.
I have a database with a main menu which opens up on start-up it works fine and all but I want to go the extra step, I wish to disable / hide the ribbons (Top and Bottom) - Or Hide the whole Microsoft Access Window and display my form with the desktop behind it.
The next thing is once I click the X or the button to close the form I want Microsoft Access to appear again as in everything to show itself again.
The user wants all the non-basic functionality of the ribbon hiden. To accomplish that by doing the usual stuff:
File >> Options >> Current Database >> Allow Full Menus (unchecked)
Everything worked as expected, but we came across an issue. The user needs to open a report in "print preview" and they need to be able to export their report to excel. The "print preview" ribbon tab is there, but it is not showing the "Data" area, where all the export options are.
How can I do this without a costume ribbon?
Maybe there is a way of manipulating which areas of the ribbon/tabs/areas/controls are enabled from VBA?
I am using Access 2010. I wish to show or hide controls based on the value in the combobox. The combobox is bound with the data type Yes/No. If Yes, controls should be visible and if no, they are to be invisible. The database is a linked one. This selection should update all the users' forms.
Currently I have a query where the criteria is dependent on the combo boxes on my form. I would like to add checkboxes to my form which determines which fields are shown or hidden. For example if I had a checkbox for address, selecting it on my form will show the address column in my query results.
I have a form (employee info) that requires the user to do a search to find the employee before then editing anything that needs to be edited.
I have a search box that will find the relevant record without any problem, however what I am looking to do is hide text boxes on the form and have them appear only once the search has found the matching record.
If no matching record is found, I would then like a message box that states 'No matching employee, would you like to add an employee' and when the user clicks OK, it then reveals the same hidden text boxes and sets focus to the first one of the bunch.
Now, I have used the 'me.textboxname.visible = True (or False) elsewhere, however, I am not sure how to trigger that after a search.
I assume I am looking at an If statement, but I am not sure how to construct it, hence turning to the experts.
Code: Private Sub txtEmployeeSearch_AfterUpdate() If txtEmployee = DLookup("EmployeeNumber", "tblEmployeeInfo") Then Me.txtboxname.Visible = True Me.txtboxname2.Visible = True DoCmd.GoToControl "txtboxname" Else MsgBox "Employee Not Found", vbYesNo <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< End If End Sub
I know that there is a massive gap where I have put <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< - but I am stumped as to what to put in there?
I have a report base on my table. Here a check box. I wanna show two label text hide/show base on when check is true or false. It will be when report will be open. I have try this but nothing is happened.
Code: If AffecteAc= True Then affected.Visible = True general.Visible = False End If
