Combo Box - Display other than 1st displayed column?
Hi, AFTER a user has choosen a row from a combo box, it appears that the combo box automatically display the first printable column. Is there a way to display someother column than the 1st printable column? Sometime I would like to print the 2nd or 3rd column. Is there a way to do this? -- Dennis

The easist way is to just relate the table the combo box displays to the table(s) the form is based on and then just drop those field next to teh combo box. No code is needed.

Is there a way to do >this? Actually, it displays the first column with a non zero value in its position in the ColumnWidths property. If you want to display more than that one column, add a text box with an expression like =combo1.Column(N) where N is the 0 based number of the desired column. -- Marsh MVP [MS Access]

Marshall, I'm sorry, I did not clearly state my question. Please let me try again. I have a combo box that selects three columns, part number, manufacturer, and product description. Part number has a zero length (is not displayed) while manufacturer and product descriptions are displayed in the drop down list. However, once the user select a product, I want the product description to be displayed in the combo box. Instead the Manufacturer is displayed. The manufacturer, product description is the "normal" seqence for the users. Can I do this in single combo box or should I change the display sequence to Product Description, Manufacturer? Thanks, -- Dennis

In addition to Mike's suggestion, you can put a textbox on the form with a
control source such as
=comboboxname.Column(n)
where n is the zero-based column number - e.g. (2) to display the third
column. This works even if the column in the combo is concealed by making it
of zero width.

Why not use a text box to display the description? You cam get the combo box to disp;ay both values by modifying its RowSource query to concatenate the two column values into a single column: SELECT part number, manufacturer & " - " & description FROM table but you might not like the way it looks. If your form is displayed in continuous view, you can still use a text box and do what Mike said. -- Marsh MVP [MS Access]

Dennis Your definition of "printable column" and mine may not match. What do you mean by that? Be aware that you do NOT need to see the value on the form in order to get the value printed. Do you wish to see BOTH Manufacturer and Product Description, rather than seeing only one? -- Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Access MVP Disclaimer: This author may have received products and services mentioned in this post.

I've been struggling for a while with this one and can't seem to find a solution. I want to plot some series in a column chart, with values ranging from 3E-18 to 8E-18.

Excel should provide an easy way to switch a column into a row, n.
A very useful feature for Excel would be the ability to easily switch a column of data into a row. This would allow a column of entries to be used as a row of headers, for example. Excel already allows switching a column into a row in the charting area, but not in the spreadsheet. One can work around this by exporting the column into Word, changing the delimiter between fields from a paragraph mark (normally hidden) to a comma, then re-importing the data into Excel - which will then be as a row. This would also allow Access to import the former column into a row, which could then be...

How to graph adjacent data in column?

How to change background color of dialog boxes at touch of a button
How can I change the background color of my dialog boxes (main dialog box & pop-up dialog boxes) of my MFC application program? I would like to change the background color according to the selection of radio buttons. Thanks in advance for help. Handle OnCtlColor(or WM_CTLCOLOR) in your dialog class. If you want to change it for all the dialogs of your app, take a look at CWinApp::SetDialogBkColor (This function is obsolete in MFC7 on though, should work for MFC42). Regardless, look at codeguru/codeproject for sample code first. -- Ajay Kalra [MVP - VC++] ajaykalra@yahoo.com &quo...

SUMIF with two columns
[Excel 2003] Assume a worksheet with with numbers in column A; Boolean criterion [Y or N] in column B; and another Boolean criterion [Y or N] in column C. I would like to add the numbers in column A for all rows that have 'y' in both columns B and C. I have been trying to do this with a SUMIF statement in which the criteria is a combination of the two columns. I have not been able to find the magic formula, so either I am missing the correct syntax or there is a better formula to use. Help would be appreciated! =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A25),--(B1:B25="Y"),--(C1:C25="Y&quo...
How to graph adjacent data in column?
I have data of variable length (time dependent) that I wish to graph which comes from some third party software. The data always starts in the same row and is always in the same column (C29). The problem is that after the data rows end, there are several blank rows, and then other data is written below in the same columns of interest. I have created an Excel template which graphs this data, with fixed ranges of rows (C29:A55). For shorter data sets however, the extraneous data becomes included in this range, and this causes all kinds of trouble with the graph. Is there a way to set the data ra...
How to Anchor Decimal in Text Box
Hello Colleagues, Is it possible to "anchor" decimals in a column of numbers in a text box so all of the decimals in the rows are in perfect alignment? For instance, consider the text below as the contents of a PowerPoint text box: $13.5 Volume (2.1) Mix 4.4 Diversions I seek to have the decimals in vertical alignment in the three rows. Using leading spaces doesn't work so well because with proportional fonts, the parenthesis are a different width than the numerals. Tabs are worse because some of the rows do not have the same number of characters befor...

How can I hide a range of columns without hiding charts there?
I've got a spreadsheet with about 60 columns and I need to hide the first thirty or so. Each month, I'll need to hide one or two more from the left while one or two more are created off to the right. It's an ongoing range of dates, if that makes more sense. Anyway, I've got two charts located on that page and feel that there must be a way of formatting them so that the charts are still visible when I hide columns. The simple way to do this would be to move the charts out of the range of columns to be hidden. But I'd rather not have to reposition the charts every...
Tick Box/Check Box
Simple question her How do you add a normal tick box to a cell Thanks You can't. Those things (components, drawing objects etc) are floating above the spreadsheet on the "drawing layer". Checkboxes are found in the Controls toolbox or on the Forms toolbar (see the View > Toolbars menu on this). -- HTH.
