SetValue Macro command

Hi,

I remember my trainer telling me that default secruity settings on 2007 meant that the SetValue command does not appear in the choice of Actions. I have gone into Access Settings, into Trust Centre settings and Enabled all Macros. Reloaded the database - but I still cannot find the setvalue command anywhere - any thoughts?

Many thanks

RE: SetValue Macro command

Hi Sarah

Access 2007 by default only shows macro actions that are trusted.

When you first open the macro design window and drop down the list of macro actions in the Action column, Access displays only 45 macro actions.

To see the complete list of 70 macro actions do the following:

1. On the ribbon, select the Design tab, then click the Show All Actions button in the Show/Hide group.

Hope this helps

Carlos

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.
