I have added a new field to an existing database and set the Data Type to Yes/No as shown in Pic1.
This defaults to Check Box. If I then try and select Text Box (as shown Pic2) it immediately reverts to Check Box. Combo Box can be selected successfully.
Can someone advise why I cannot select Text Box? There are already other fields configured in this manner in my database. Also of note if I change these other fields to Check Box and try to change them back to Text Box, they also revert to Check Box.
I am facing the same problem. For some reason you cannot choose text box as lookup option.
There are two workarounds:
Choose combo box and
Row Source Type: Value List
Row Source: -1;Text for yes;0;Text for no
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0
Source, from MS answers forum
Or select datasheet view, click fields under table tools, select more fields and go to Yes/No then select Yes/No. Now you can choose text box as look up option.
I was able to confirm the change in behaviour between Access 2010 and Access 2013. Access 2010 allows us to choose "Text Box" for a Yes/No field. In Access 2013 the "Text Box" option is still there in the drop-down list, but when selected it immediately switches to "Check Box".
I'm afraid that's just the way Access 2013 works. If you really need to make the change you could try to locate a machine with Access 2010 and use it.
Try using :
CurrentDb().TableDefs("YourTable").Fields("YourField").Properties("DisplayControl")=109

I have a database in Access, and I want to create a Textbox like this:
The suggestions come from the Database itself. It's for search for an item which are already in the Database.
How can I do that?
Create a combo box and in the property sheet, go under the data tab and set "Row Source Type" to Table/Query.
Set the "Row Source" to: SELECT [field] FROM [Table];
You should be able to search and it will autocomplete but you will need to click the dropdown arrow too see the suggestions.
Please support.
I've an Access Form with few combo and text boxes. I'm calling information in some text boxes from access tables after selecting value from one of the Combo box. Values are coming correctly but I also need to replace the old information with new one and update the same table again with new information. I tried many VBA codes but Access is giving me error "Reserved Field" every time and close the form automatically.
Can someone please help me here? Let me know what more information you need from my end. I'll be grateful to you. Thank you
With out seeing specifically what you are trying to do it is difficult to be sure what you need. What I think you want is to update the test boxes and the desired table fields based on a combo box selection.
If that is your desire you need to bound the text boxes as suggested. Then the VBA code would update the value property of the text box:
if me.controls("comboboxname").value = "a" then
me.controls("textboxname").value = "A"
Else
if... (etc etc)
Or instead of nested ifs you could use case.
Once the form was closed or the record changed the tables would be updated.
Goal:
Display the text "All State-Province" instead of "All geographies" at the prompt list in SSRS
Problem:
I tried googling around and in the end I don't know how to solve it.
Information:
*Im using SQL server 2012
I don't use Report Server 2012, but in 2008 the following applies.
It depends on how you're populating your parameter,
If you're declaring the values in a list
Right click on the parameter, and change the label text.
or.....
If you're populating from a query then you need to ensure that the value you're using to populate the label returns "All State-Province" instead of "All geographies".
One way round this would be to set up a calculated field on the query used to populate the dataset
something like
=iif(Fields!LabelText.Value="All geographies","All State-Province",Fields!LabelText.Value)
Then use that field as the label.
I see your update..
What I believe you need to do, is set up a new calculated field on your GeographyStateProvince dataset
Call it NewLabelText.
Then use the expression
=iif(Trim(Ucase(Fields!ParameterCaptionIndented.Value))="ALL GEOGRAPHIES","All State-Province",Fields!ParameterCaptionIndented.Value)
Then as shown in my previous screen print, use the new calculated field instead of ParameterCaptionIndented
You can see your datasets on the left of this picture.
I'm doing a small project as a part from my course in access; we use Microsoft Access 2010 but the database itself is 2007.
My main problem is: how to lock a record from changing after a value in the record changes a value.
In my case, the value changes is an option box that changes from open to close.
Also, the change itself is triggered by change in other values; I tried to make a macro for it... didn't go as good as I hoped.
The macro should change value A from "open" to "close"
when i tick check box B
and the value in text box C in not null.
Thanks for the help
I have been battling with this problem for weeks now and simply cannot find a solution.
I am using MS Access 2007
I have a table caled "Policy Information" where all of my data is stored. I have created a combox box to autofill a few text fields using a query called "BC Allocation Query". By choosing from the combox269 field I created then 6 other text fields are automatically completed. I used the function =[Combo269].column in the control field of the text field I want auto-completed.
This all works great however I cannot seem to relfect the information from the text boxes which are auto-completed to relfect in my Access Reports whcih I have set up.
Please can someone assist me withthis before I jump off a cliff:)
Are these text fields on the form bound to fields in the source for the form? If not, they are unbound, and you need to write code to save this information into the table when you navigate away from the record or close the form. If they are bound, you need to programmatically force a save of the record when VBA changes values, otherwise - you might get the dreaded 'values changed by another user' verbage in an error.
