I have a form that has a remarks textbox. Depending on the options, the form will write something in that textbox. Now I want to have other options (check boxs) that I can click on which will add to that remarks textbox.
Code:
Private Sub Check27_Click()
If Me.Check27 Then
Me.Remarks = ("Shipping Box/Container")
Else
Me.Remarks = ""
End If
End Sub
I know how to do an action on doubleclick or mouseover but I want some simple text to come up, possibly with a white background behind it that has some details about the specific production number that the user is clicking on. Is there something like this? I tried a dialog but it brings up an ugly form, I just want the text or something simple. Can this be done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust curious, probably a dumb question, but I was wondering if Access can display scrolling text?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSome of the things that bring me screeching halt really surprise me. I swear, this sounds like it should be so easy....
What I need to do is check, when the user clicks on a button, whether a specific table that is going to be modified/deleted later in the click code is already open. If it is open, I will msgbox the user to close the table first and exit the sub.
Any ideas?
All help, as always, is much appreciated!

In the Access Table, how does one Find and Replace part of the hyperlink if the Text to display is different?
Example of Hyperlink Editor:
Example of Find and Replace
In other words, I'd like to find FAKESERVER and replace it with C:Users in all 1000 records. Is there any possible way to do this if there is Text to display?
I have documents (mostly Word) stored in an Access table. The table contains two fields. (1) a text field with the document's name and (2) an OLE field that holds the document.
When I press a button with the document's name on it (or it could be a hyperlink or a dropdown) on a form then I would like the document stored in the matching OLE field to open in the appropriate program for that document.
If I could set the permissions of the document to read-only then that would be great too. If I could prompt for read-only or read-write (no password necessary) access upon opening then that would be even better.
I can store documents in the table, but I have no idea how to launch them from a form button (or hyperlink, or dropdown).
Note: This is all within Access. This is not a web page related question.
Thanks in advance,

I currently have a listbox. (list32) that is populated with results of a query. I would like to doubleclick on an item and have it open a form that displays the listbox record i clicked on and a "notes" field. Its my understanding that the table fields are limited to 255 chars so i was curious if I could make the notes field reside somewhere else. I will need the notes able to be edited, specific to record entry, and then saved on exit. Is this doable?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
I have a basic form that includes check boxes. All works well. But on my (Windows 8) machine, the check boxes display as big ugly black squares. If I open the db from any another machine (Windows 7), check boxes display as I'm used to with a nice outline and bluey tinge to the middle if not set! All machines have Access 2013 on them.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 480 textboxes in my form. What I am looking to do, is that any time any of thest textboxes are clicked (or double clicked) I want to then get the name of that textbox saved into a variable.
So I have created a public variable called tbName.
What I need is this:
- if the active control is a textbox then
- tbname = active control name.
It is important that I dont just take the active control name all the time as I want all controls other than textboxes to be igored. Secondly, under what event would I even put the code? Would it be the form Click event?
When I mouse over TEXTBOX1 I want it to display the phrase Hello World in TEXTBOX2.
When the Mouse moves away from TEXTBOX1 I want TEXTBOX2 to go back to normal.. (Empty)
How can I get the below VB to work? Or something similar.. I'm assuming a mouse move event or something
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_GotFocus()
Display Hello World in TEXTBOX2
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_LostFocus()
Clear TEXTBOX2
End Sub

I'm trying to set-up a database that will allow the user to navigate around by clicking but having a bit of trouble.
I was wondering if there is anyway to capture the text that you click (if you make it a hyperlink or something) so that you can use it as the parameter in a query or something?
Any help would be absolutely fantastic.
Thanks.

I have two fields set up on a form, when the user double clicks in field 1, the text that was in Field 1 then moves to field 2. The issue is that the text in field 2 only retains the most recent text change - overwriting the text that was in field 2 previously. How do i make it so that every time the text moves to field 2, that it keeps a running history of the text?

I'm in need a of a check-in/check-out application for my company. We have about 550-600 employees at any given time and our turnover is about 20-30% per year. Our check-in/check-out process requires our employees to personally visit between 30-40 areas in our company (personnel, safety, credentials, parking, insurance, etc) within the first month of employment. This is currently done manually and is a huge drain on labor, especially when check-in sheets are lost, misplaced or, in some cases, forged.
I'm looking to build a database that would be intranet based, password secure (by check-in area) that would allow the new employee to present at a particular check-in, check-out site, complete that portion of the check-in/out process and then allow the person responsible for the check-in/out to enter the status into the database. At any point in the process, I would want to know the status of the person checking in/out (how long they've been checking in/out and what portion of the process have they completed).
Can this be done in ACCESS?
Thanks
How do I return the Column Header Text on Right Click of listbox?

I have a text box on my form which I use to attach hyperlinks to pdf's, this works great but after inserting a hyperlink nothing is displayed in the text box to show it has been linked unlike using attachment, the only way I know if that a hyperlink is placed is to right click and go to hyperlink and then open, is there a way to show the link on the text box and just double click on it to open the pdf. I am trying this as the size of the database will far exceed the 2gb that access allows if I just use attachments , even if I split the database (over 10000 pdfs )
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.
My form used to work and as I kept adding event scripts now when I click on the ID text field, it doesn't open the linked record, but a blank record with 'Filtered' showing on the bottom navigation. I guess a question I have is,
-is there an order on which the procedure scripts run
-do they all run everytime, or just the specific event script
===================================
Private Sub Company_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm Company", , , "[ID] = " & [ID]
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCompanyDirectory"
End Sub
===================================
I used to have code on a button on the "frmCompanyDirectory" that added a new record to "frm Company" and that's when the ID = ID stopped working.
