    Opening a report using combo box?

    I haven't tried this but I think you could use a case select in the combo box after update event to determine which entry was selected and then use this as the stDocName in the run report command. Dim stDocName As String ... Case "your report name" stDocName = "your report name" ...

    Controlling Page Width of Report

    When you are viewing the report in design mode, does the little square at the top left corner have a green triangle in it? If yes, there is a problem and Access will tell you what is. In this case, I would expect it to say something like "your report is wider than the printable space. This may...

    Women Can't be Pedophiles

    Hi statsman, An article on Orbit News yesterday insisted that she would be on the sex offender's register for life. Don't know if it is right though. I think there is a fundamental difference between a girl being seduced by an older man and a boy being seduced by an older woman. I don't know...

    Enabling textboxs with radio button

    Kabir, This isn't quite what you are asking for but I have something similar on one of my forms. Hide the combo boxes (format them visible = no) and in the case select of your option buttons use me.yourcombobox.visible = true to show the appropriate box. In the after update of the combobox...

    Populating Combobox columns with SQL

    I am trying to improve the performance (loading time) of my main form. The big tip seems to be use SQL in VBA to populate subforms and comboboxes when needed, rather than when the main form loads. I have a combobox configured for 2 columns, bound column = 1 and column widths set at 2cm each...

    Extract AutoCAD Attribute

    mtahir, I use AutoCAD in my work but am no expert. I do know, however, that there are user-groups all over the place so there must be associated websites. Have you tried a google search for your problem or even the AutoDesk home page?

    Combo Box versus List Box?

    Thanks pbaldy. I haven't needed either of those things yet which is probably why I haven't ended up using alist box. It seems like I'm not missing anything by avoidng the list box. :)

    Combo Box versus List Box?

    This might be a silly question - I appologize in advance if it is. - let me know! :) I have searched a bit and found nothing quite along the same lines. I have realized that I only use Combo boxes, avoiding List boxes entirely. I had some early difficulties with List Boxes that I can't recall...

    Update Query Problem

    Hi WtFudgE, Without having thought about this too deeply, it sounds like a referential integrity problem. First up, I'd check the links between tables. It may be that you have a cascade delete that isn't required. Mirriad posts on the subject on this forum. Use "Referential Integrity" in a...

    f Disk, Do you mean a msgbox or a form you created that is popup? If it is the latter, you should be able to set it to pop-up, & modal = no. Private Sub Command296_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "tblService", acNormal, , , , acHidden End Sub The code shown opens a form in hidden mode. You can...

    Forms slow to open

    Great tip. Thanks. Is there a way to check the status of the Name Autocorrect features when the DB loads and, if checked, uncheck them? I suppose, to be polite, they should be reset to whatever they were when the DB loaded. This is already sounding complicated. :eek: Maybe the best solution...
