    How to display field in Text box

    Thanks gol4 Ok, I did that, but it still doesnt happen. I don't get it. this seems like it should be easier. I can display it in another listbox, though. The problem with that is the words wont all fit in one line of a listbox. Is there a way to make a list box word wrap? This would be a...

    Problems displaying a memo field on form.

    Thanks Orion, Its worth a shot; I'll try it right now. I guess for some reason I thought a list box wouldnt take memo type fields. I'll see how it goes.

    Problems displaying a memo field on form.

    Hi everyone; I want a text box to display the description of a vendor when I choose that vendor from a list box. The list box (listVendor) does not show all the vendors in the database. The contents of this list are narrowed by the choice in another list box on the form. The table 'VendID' has...

    Need to display a memo field on the form.

    Thanks HNA, OK, I tried this, and it didn't work for me. I dont think I'm understanding why I should use a combo box. The listCompany list box is the product of a prior choice: a previous listbox narrows down the list of companies displayed here (i.e. the companies in the box must also sell the...

    Searching memo fields

    I'm planning on making a description field for most of the records in my database, and I would like it to be searchable. I'm not sure yet how I want to display the resulting records, maybe in a listbox or something, but I do want to know if this is possible, or if the description field needs to...

    Too many characters in the field.

    Im trying to enter a brief description of the companies in my db so I can give the user a brief overview of what each company is selling. I plan on having this info pop up in a text box or something as the user scrolls thru the list on my form. Problem: too many characters in the field. Any...

    User Interface

    well, this works, but unfortunately the form opens in columnar view with the command button instead of Datasheet view. Is there any way around this? If i try to create the results form as a datasheet it goes back to columnar, even if i set the Default View and ViewsAllowed to datasheet. Is there...

    Ok, this almost works, what happens is when i open the query it prompts me asking for "Forms!frmProd!Product ", if i put in a product type value, it gives me the table i want (excellent), but this doesnt actually show the list box. When I open the form, it doesnt do anything when i...

    Drop Down Menus

    Well, unfortuntely, I dont have an answer for you. I've been trying all day to get the same idea, or something similar to work. Access keeps finding a way to fail at every turn, though.
