Access Commands

Where can you find a great big list of all the commands you'd want to use with in the visual basics section that covers what we did today, without joining another course? (Just covering what we did today?)

RE: Access Commands

Hi Pete

Thank you for your question

If you open the VBE and click on the Object Browser button located on the top toolbar, then the object browser will replace the code window. You can the search through the different objects and their resulting properties and methods.

When you find what you are looking for, select the item in question and press F1. This will provide you with detailed help for the item, together with examples of its use.

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Open A Combo Box Automatically

This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.

When the ComboBox gets focus:

Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard

For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:

1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:

Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()

Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown

End Sub

3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
