    Combo Box won't show/list in report header

    I have a combo box in the header area. The record source, Bound Column are set correctly ( I know because I tested it on a form ). In this instance, the user would select from the dropdown list, the name of a member of staff, based on the click-event, and passing the Staff_ID to a variable, this...

    Before_Update event ( sub-form ) ?

    I have a Cancel = True which triggers correctly, on a condition in the Before_Update event of a data field/control on a sub-form. However, the data which would have changed ( but won't now ) remains in the text box/control, and Focus stays on it. Only by closing and re-opening the form, can you...

No errors, but I get 'Type Mismatch' on this line ... Set flds = fso.GetFolder(folderstr).SubFolders this should load the folder names...

    Relative sizing of controls ( to screen size ) ?

    I'd like to set the width & height properties of my controls, in ( Pixels or twips ), rather than cms, so that they adjust proportionally according to the size/dimension of the screen, my form loads in. I know in the property sheet, you can only set the measurement in cms. However in vba, at...

    Checking ( adjusting ) screen resolutions ?

    I have an API, which returns the values for the Screen resolution in use ( let's say 1360, 768 ) I hoped to use this in formulae, to ensure my forms were 'centred'. I wanted to use the width and height properties of the form in question to do so, but it appears ( in Access 2010 ) there is NO...

    Slow Form load event

    I've got a DB, which has 3 forms ( all 'under' 3 navigation buttons/tabs ). The main form ( Client's form ) is set to show first, and currently has a recordsource of about 1350 records. I think the size of the recordsource, and the fact it 'loads' the other two forms all 'in one go', is slowing...

    Memo field issue ( overwriting ) ?

    I have a memo field, which I write to with a string ( this is a list of files and their pathways/locations ). The idea is that if the 'target' folder's contents change, this/these change(s) are reflected in my memo field. So I 'read' the contents of the relevant folder every time the form loads...

    Navigation Forms ( subforms ), and referencing controls/properties ?

    This is the closest I've come, to being able to check whether a particular 'Tab' ( or Navigation Button ) is selected on these types of Form - ( I say this because, it doesn't cause an error, but it also doesn't work ! ) If...

    Output as percent not working ?

    Hello. I have a text box, linked to an Integer field in a table. I have set the output text box, to a Format of Percent. However, it multiplies up all the field values by 100, and adds decimal places after - before outputting them i.e. 42 becomes 4200.00% ! Any ideas as to why, thanks.

    Create temporary table as Recordsource for Report ? ?

    Does anyone know if I can create a temporary table, 'on the fly' on the Report_Load event, ( based on fields from two other tables ) and set this as the recordsource for a report. I'm toying with the idea of 'INSERT INTO'. Would this be appropriate, and would it work ? Thanks.

    No output on bound combo box ( subform )

    I have a combo box which forms part of a subform. I can select and enter data, and update the underlying record fine. However, it is also bound to that field, and should show the value ( if one exists ) as would a text box. It doesn't. Any ideas ?

    I have 3 combo boxes each of which work perfectly well ( showing data from 3 different tables ), on my form. However, when I split my DB into front-end and back-end, these boxes no longer show output, and although I can enter data into them, which updates the underlying tables, they do not show...
