I am using VB.NET and MS ACCESS 2007.
I'm trying to create a header for a receipt.
In my program, I want the user to input the header for the receipt using a richtextbox.
I want to store the user's input to the database and make it a header for the receipt.
Example:
The user's input as shown in the richtextbox is:
Juan Dela Cruz
16
Tokyo, Japan
And when it is stored to the database, it is displayed as:
Juan Dela Cruz [there a symbol in here] 16 [symbol] Tokyo, Japan
The same will also be displayed in the MS Access Report which is what I don't want Access to show me.
I want Access to give me a result the same with the user's input in the richtextbox:
Juan Dela Cruz
16
Tokyo, Japan
How will I be able to do that?
The code executed once the button is clicked:
Try
If receiptEdit = 0 Then
Dim updateHeader = "UPDATE tbl_receiptdetails SET RHeader = '" & boxReceipt.Text & "'"
ExecNonQuery(updateHeader)
MsgBox("Receipt Header Updated")
ElseIf receiptEdit = 1 Then
Dim updateFooter = "UPDATE tbl_receiptdetails SET RFooter = '" & boxReceipt.Text & "'"
ExecNonQuery(updateFooter)
MsgBox("Receipt Footer Updated")
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try

The Solution from my comment, as answer:
replace
boxReceipt.Text
with
boxReceipt.Text.Replace(vbCr, vbNewLine).Replace(vbLf, vbNewLine)

I am new to access and trying to practice some fundamentals. I am trying to generate a report based on user input from a form.
When the user selects an address a report should be generated with one instance of the address.
As of right now when I create the report on the click from the form.
There are multiple instances been generated of the same address.
The table i am using
AddressLine1
123 Main St.
555 Happy Ln.
456 Main St.
6598 W Street St.
code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub generateReport_Click()
Dim text As String
text = Me.custAddress
DoCmd.OpenReport "Generation", acViewPreview, "AdressLine1=" & text
End Sub
The outcome is the following...

I only want it to be printed once.
NVM fixed it by adding a wherecondition
Option Compare Database
Private Sub generateReport_Click()
Dim text As String
text = Me.custAddress
DoCmd.OpenReport "Generation", acViewPreview, text, _
WhereCondition:="AddressLine1 = '" & text & "'"
End Sub
I have a main menu where users type in a name of a station (text box) and the name of a cohort (text box) and it would open a new form based on these values. For example, if "New York" was entered for a station and "1b" was entered for cohort, then the form would filter to only show data that have both. However, I am getting a data mismatch error.
The fields text boxed at my main menu are called "detailed_s_station" and "detailed_s_cohort". The names of the respective fields in the form I want to filter these values are called "station" and "cohort".
I can get this to work if there are only one set of criteria (e.g., if I just search for the cohort or just search for the station), however something is going on with my AND here. Any help is appreciated to help me get rid of this data mismatch error.
Private Sub Command41_Click()
Dim stDocName22 As String
Dim stLinkCriteria22 As String
stDocName22 = "frm_scans"
stLinkCriteria22 = "[station] ='" & Me![detailed_s_station] & "'" And "[cohort] ='" & Me![detailed_s_cohort] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName22, , , stLinkCriteria22, acFormEdit, acWindowNormal
End Sub
The problem that you are having is how you are joining the string together. Instead try:
Private Sub Command41_Click()
Dim stDocName22 As String
Dim stLinkCriteria22 As String
stDocName22 = "frm_scans"
stLinkCriteria22 = "[station] ='" & Me![detailed_s_station] & "' And [cohort] ='" & Me![detailed_s_cohort] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName22, , , stLinkCriteria22, acFormEdit, acWindowNormal
End Sub
If you ever have problems like this in future, a quick Debug.Print strLinkCriteria22 would show you the contents of the string that is causing problems.

I am learning about how to create a searchbox with combo box. I was learning with a video in youtube :
Access: How to Create Search Form Using Combo box Part 1
However, when I do my code it doesn't work. :/ I get the Run-Time error 3075 Access Syntax Error.
Private Sub cboVendorSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim MyVendor As String
MyVendor = "Select * from Vendors where ([vend_name] = " & Me.cboVendorSearch & ")"
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.RecordSource = MyVendor
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.Requery
End Sub
Assuming vend_name is a text field, need apostrophe delimiters.
MyVendor = "SELECT * FROM Vendors WHERE [vend_name] = '" & Me.cboVendorSearch & "';"
Instead of setting RecordSource, an alternative is to set Filter property.
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.Filter = "[vend_name] = '" & Me.cboVendorSearch & "'"
Me.Invoices_subform.Form.FilterOn = True
Would probably be better to use vendor ID for search criteria. Explore multi-column combobox where the ID field is a hidden column but combobox uses the hidden column for its Value yet displays vend_name to user.
I have a textbox, which is presenting data from one field in selected recordset. This field contains comments made by user in Excel file, which is later imported to Access table. Each comment is made in separete line and in each it looks ok. Textbox present it as one line, but when I export it to Excel again it looks ok in that new excel.
I have tried changing textbox into rich text format. I have also create other textbox, in which I am able to insert comments and then it looks good.
Textbox source code:
sSql = SELECT LogID, 1Comment, 2Comment, Author
sSql = sSql & " FROM tblGeneralLog"
sSql = sSql & " WHERE LogID= " & Me.ID &
Forms![frmMain_CommentAdd]![txtboxComment2].Value = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSql).Fields(2).Value
Probably, in Excel you don't have a "full new line" (CR + LF). Thus, try:
Forms![frmMain_CommentAdd]![txtboxComment2].Value = Replace(CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSql).Fields(2).Value, vbCr, vbCrLf)
or:
Forms![frmMain_CommentAdd]![txtboxComment2].Value = Replace(CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSql).Fields(2).Value, vbLf, vbCrLf)
I'm looking for the quickest and easiest way to retrieve all Active Directory account's first & last names. The intention is to have a string list which contains all names from the Active Directory, for the purpose of auto-completion in a textbox in a small Visual Basic application used for unlocking accounts.
Usage Scenario:
On form load the application generates the list of names from the AD. I'm expecting this to take around 10-15 seconds as there's 4,500 accounts on the AD. Each name is added to a string list for use with the auto completion.
The user types the name Garry into textbox1 and the auto complete suggests all Garry's in the AD, by using a string list. I know how to do this easily, I just dont know how to populate the list with user's names efficiently.
There's a lot of samples on accessing the AD, but none which show how to loop through it. I thought asking on here would help both myself and other users in a similar usage case.
The code I have so far for accessing a single account is shown below, however I need to loop through all AD accounts and retrieve their First & Last names.
Current Code to access single account:
'Domain is declared with the LDAP path
'UserName is declared with textbox1.text value
Dim ADEntry As New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" & Domain)
Dim ADSearch As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher(ADEntry)
ADSearch.Filter = ("(samAccountName=" & UserName & ")")
ADSearch.SearchScope = System.DirectoryServices.SearchScope.Subtree
Dim UserFound As System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult = ADSearch.FindOne()
If Not IsNothing(UserFound) Then
Log.AppendLine("Account found, loading checks...")
Dim Attrib As String = "msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed"
Dim User As System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
User = UserFound.GetDirectoryEntry()
User.RefreshCache(New String() {Attrib})
'Display user account details
txtLogin.Text = User.Properties("userPrincipalName").ToString
txtName.Text = User.Properties("givenName").ToString & " " & User.Properties("sn").ToString
else
'User not found
end if
Any help would be much appreciated, even in C#.
You can use the same ADEntry variable as above and do something like this. This only adds a user to the list if they have both a first and last name.
Dim listNames As New AutoCompleteStringCollection
Using ADSearch As New DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher(ADEntry, "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))", {"givenName", "sn"}, DirectoryServices.SearchScope.Subtree)
For Each user As DirectoryServices.SearchResult In ADSearch.FindAll
Try
listNames.Add(user.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("givenName").Value.ToString + " " + user.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("sn").Value.ToString)
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Next
End Using
With TextBox1
.AutoCompleteCustomSource = listNames
.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource
End With
