I created a "Document" shape under "Basic Flowchart". Then, I followed the link below and try to add data and I expect the data will be shown within the Shape. However, there is nothing after I typed the data into the "Shape Data Panel"

Any advice?
Finally, the answer is using "Insert > Field" function to add the field one by one

I have a form with lots of Picture boxes, is there a way to call them using a string? Something like
PctBox+str(number) would give me the name of the box on the form, so I can loop through and change them all without having a huge block of code?
Are we talking about Microsoft Access?
If so, you can use this sample, assuming your picture box controls are named PctBox1 - PctBox3 for example and you place the code in a procedure in the form:
For index = 1 To 3
MsgBox(Me.Controls("PctBox" & index).Name)
Next
This sample just shows up the name of the each of these controls.
I currently have a program in Visio that when a specific shape in my custom stencil is dragged onto the screen, a user form comes up and asks the user a question with a combo box used for the user to select an answer.
Based on the answer selected, the shape data should change for that object.
The problem that I am facing is that I am not sure how to target the ID of the shape automatically to then change its shape data. Since multiple of these shapes may be placed, I can not manually write a new piece of code for every ID.
Image: Shapesheet of the shape running the macro on drop. "Form" is the user form.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this problem.
Thank you
I wonder if the CALLTHIS ShapeSheet function might be more useful here as it passes a reference to the calling shape. So, for example, in the EventDrop cell add this formula:
CALLTHIS("ThisDocument.OnMyShapeDrop","Drawing001")
and then add this backing code:
Public Sub OnMyShapeDrop(shp As Visio.Shape)
MsgBox "Shape dropped - ID = " & shp.ID, vbOKOnly, "Shape Dropped"
End Sub
Note, that I've put the code in the ThisDocument class, but it can live in any accessable module. Also note the project name (Drawing001) which will likely be the file name without the extension.
I have a drop-down list with fixed values as i then can adjust the display name. The drop-down list is connected as an input to a "load on demand" data table via a custom query.
I would like to have a list as an input. However, I cannot manage to make it work with multiple items.
In my query i have:
WHERE b.SomeFIELD IN (?parameter)
The parameter is linked to the documentproperty where the value is set as an array. It handles a single value perfectly. Multiple values do not work. I tried:
Value 1, value 2
"value 1", "value 2"
{"value 1", "value 2"}
Any ideas how to make this work? Thanks!
Spotfire passes that "array" as a comma separated string. You need to merely set the on demand setting to the property you created versus trying to edit the SQL in the information link. '
Here's a good tutorial
I am working with crystal report in visual studio , the report contains data from the data base . the Problem is that the field object height in the report it is fine for short text length but for long text some characters that exceed the field object height will be hidden.
I have been used can grow property by checking it in the format object window but it didn't work the section height didn't increase automatically to wrap all text .
please how can i solve this problem ? any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance
In crystal reports, create a new formula. (it can be done by right-mouse clicking on Formular Fields in the "Field Explorer". In this formula field, drag and drop the notes field so the formula would look something like this {Command.Notes} or {TableName.Notes}. Then back in your report, right mouse click in the Details section and select Insert --> Text Object. Then drag and drop that newly created Formula field into the newly created blank text object.
So I have an input form that I want to use to update a table with certain fields of information. I have the ID of the record automatically coming up in a text box. I have three text boxes that I need to add to the table (excluding the ID) on a button click.
Name
Date
Method
are the field names.
As_Name
As_Date
As_Method
are the text box names
The table name is POC, and the ID is POC_ID (its an autonumber).
So I do not want these objects (text boxes) to be bound to the table because this is a little separate "pop-up" form that comes from a form that the table, and I only want the input to be relative to the POC_ID that is already selected via the original form.
So how do I write the vba for this to 1)check to make sure that records do not already exist....2)update the fields (listed above) with data input from the text boxes(listed above). I want to be able to use this with a button click....
EDIT:
actually it is one table not two; i have two forms that I want to be able to send information to the same table (different information though). this db was already built by someone else and know I have been deamed to take it over.
I need to add a second little pop up form for additional information to be added based on new requirements (there is literally no where for me to place this on the other one). I have already done that, and used a suggested object approach to reference the first forms (from which this second "pop-up" form springs from) to add the relative id fields. Now I have this second little pop up form that just asked three values to be inputted (which are the ones listed above).
I just simply do not know how to link the text box, with a field so that once a user enters in the information, clicks "save" it saves the information to the table relative to the TripID that is there (one mentioned above). the only way I know how to get the text boxes to save data to the table is to use the builder/wizard when I create a new one.
I would like to learn how to link an object (text box, cmb, list) etc on a form, to a table with an "On Click" method so that I can use a save button. Basically that is it!
The OpenForm method of DoCmd allows for several arguments, including Where and Openargs. You can take advantage of these.
However, something seems to be quite wrong with your table design in that you appear to be holding the same information in two tables and for no stated reason. Have you read http://www.r937.com/relational.html?
I would suggest that the design you need probably only includes a numeric field POC_ID that is a foreign key to the main table.
Still not sure I understand your situation, but let me offer the outline of an answer. If my outline is not close enough, please explain where I went astray.
Your parent form, frmParent, has a command button (cmdMoreFields) which opens the child form (frmChild) where you will enter values for 3 additional fields in the record currently displayed in frmParent. After the user enters those values in frmChild (in text box controls named As_Name, As_Date, and As_Method), she will click a command button (cmdSave) to store those values to fields (Name, Date, and Method) in table POC, and close frmChild. Also, frmParent includes a text box (txtPk_field) which holds the value for the primary key (field pk_field in table POC) of the current record.
However, I'm not sure which field/control you're using for txtPk_field, and doubt that value is available if the the current record has not yet been saved. So, I'll suggest this code for the cmdMoreFields "on click" event:
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmChild"
In the "on click" event of cmdSave (on frmChild), try code similar to:
Dim strSql As String
strSQL = "UPDATE POC SET [Name] = """ & Me.As_Name & """, [Date] =#" _
& Me.As_Date & "#, Method = """ & Me.As_Method & """ WHERE pk_field = " _
& Forms!frmParent.txtPk_field & ";"
Debug.Print strSql
CurrentDb.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
DoCmd.Close
If that approach works, consider passing the pk_field value to frmChild with Openargs, as Remou suggested.
Note: I assumed the data type for Name is text, Date is date/time, and Method is text. You will have to change the UPDATE statement delimiters for any fields whose data types differ from my guesses.
