Full info for all property options of any form control

[richardm55]

To understand better how to set all controls in the form I would like to get complete information about all property options.
Any suggestions where to get them? All tips and links are very welcome. Thank you in advance.

F1 Help
Click on a Property of a control on a form and press the function key F1
Microsoft Help pages will be displayed in your browser. The pages will give general descriptions of the property, its arguments, options, methods and often example of how to use it in VBA.

Cheers

Its really nothing there. I meant all options in property windows for any form control. There are plenty of them and I don't know how to use them.

Give yourself some time, there a lot to learn about Access

Some of these are simple. Like "Visible". The options are YES/NO. To see the control on the form Visible = Yes. To not see the control on the form Visible = NO.

Spend some time with the properties that give you options to chose from. Try each and see what happens. That's how most of us learned and using the F1 Help. Get familiar with the ones you want to use regularly and ask about specific ones if you have a question that is not answered by F1 Help or needs some clarification.

Welcome to the Forum!

Cheers!

going on from what Goh said, most of us only use/need a handful - in the same way we really don't use all the options in word, excel or anything else.

Sorry, just going through some old posts and came across this one. I agree with GohDiamond!

The other way to get the properties, methods and events of a control is to hit F2, type "Textbox", under the Class column select the row that has "Textbox", look at the frame just below the Search Results frame and you will see all of them listed in alphatebical order. If you want to group them by type, simply right-click any item in the list and select "Group Members".
