Well, with only the example you've provided, why not just check for the >? You could count how many occurred before the char you're checking.

I am having weird experience with the VBA (MS Access 2007) context sensitive setting for when I try to use it to get a property or method.
For example, I have a checkbox in my Access 2007 form. I want to do something simple like use context sensitivity to show the Value property of my checkbox:
<br />
myChkBox.Value = <br />
HOWEVER before I can finish typing "va", the context sensitivity stops and it won't allow me to auto-complete the word. MORE ANNOYING is the side effect when after i type in .Value and press space, the cursor then jumps back to the "e" in value and removes my space.
This is the same for other variables and objects:
<br />
dim bIsCheckSet as Boolean 'sometimes becomes bIsCheckSetas or bIsCheckSet asB<br />
the problem: context sensitivity (auto-complete) acting weird and seems to have a "time-out" period that is very short.
HELP!

I experienced this issue a while ago when the form was in Form View not Design View. Doing the coding while in Design View seemed to solve the problem for me.

thanks for the suggestion. it did not correct the whacked-out MS behavior i am seeing with auto-complete.
Symptom #3 (of many)
dim bMyBool as Boolean 'becomes dimb (if i wait too long after typing dim)
a short time-out period for auto-complete
Symptom #4 (of many)
Me. 'flashes list of properties/methods for Me, but disappears in 0.25 seconds
This is very annoying and counter productive to me - Microsoft products suck like 80% of the time.
BTW, is the topic i'm asking about called "auto-complete", "context-sensitive help", "type-ahead" ??
Thanks,
Johnny

I believe the word you're looking for is "Intellisense"
|
|
|
|

I'm about to rip Microsoft's balls off and shove them down their throat -- except MS doesn't have a pair!
This next symptom has me thru the roof!
If (expression) Then
(statements)
Else
(statements)
End If 'WTF - it breaks EndIF into two words End and If and i can't even save it as 1 word

That's because in VB syntax the end of an if block is End If not EndIf.

That's because the End keyword works with other stuff, not just If, like End Sub, End Function, End Select, ...

If a single space character is driving you this nuts, you've got other issues to worry about...

I still want to feed MS their own body parts!
I guess I'm gonna reinstall. my latest complaint about my Access 2007, VBA is that when i (mistakenly) issued a search for a word while there were no code windows open, the VBA editor got frozen and was unresponsive to Cancel, any menu commands, and the Hour Glass icon just remained persistent.
So reinstall is what I think i will try next. I don't know what updates hosed over my Access, but now i'm just pissed.
the biggest annoyance/problem is:
defining variables, such as
dim bMyVar as Boolean
but having it appear as
dimbMyVar
dimb MyVar asBo
dim
MyVarasBo

yes, it does, and yet "Endif" (without space) is a reserved keyword and cannot be used as an identifier, e.g. for naming a variable. That is very basic for VB users.

Yeah, I was wrong on the whole "EndIf" "End" dilema. Sorry.
However, my problem was that Intellisense (or auto-complete, context-sensitive help) was all screwy in my VBA code so much so that I couldn't work
1. if i type to slow, the cursor jumps back to the end of the last character, removing spaces and as you can see, trying to define variables would run type and variable name together. :mad:
2. if i try to look up a property for an object, the list would disappear all too quickly. :confused:
Does this call for a re-install of Access 2007?

if it hinders your work continuously, I would certainly give that a try, without hoping too much.
I only ever did one Access+VBA project, more than 10 years ago; it was a simple application, about 3 forms, simple logic; I stumbled on dozens of bugs, each requiring newer versions, fixes, workarounds. I got it to work after lots of trouble, so I try not to do another one any time soon.
Good luck though.

how to add super script and subscript in VB and in SQL table?
|
|
|
|
|
with code.
See how much it sucks to get a vague, generic answer?
That's how it feels to see your vague, generic question.
|
|
|
|
|
If you know the answer just tell me. or else just leave it . I didn't beg u to answer my question. While writing code i had problem so only asked. Is there any rule that we should not ask simple questions?
|
|
|
|
|
He would if your question was answerable. Since you're leaving out critical details about what you are doing, it's impossible to answer your question.
|
|
|
|
|
Well.. funny you should ask, the rules[^], specifically number 2, actually kind of say yes, you should not ask vague, unanswerable questions.
|
|

|

No VB.Net code editors support super/subscript (or VB for that matter, but who cares about extinct languages).
SQL certainly does not support them either.
Maybe you could be more precise here. Are we talking about rendering to HTML? RTF? a Word Doc?

Hi everyone, I have a matrix and I need to add the money earned this year and past years. However, I must remove the money spent in past years. I must have the separate amount per year and the total of these amounts. This is what gives my matrix:
Year
= Fields!Year.value =formatnumber((sum (Fields!Results.Value)) - (sum (iif (Fields!
Year.value < Parameters!ChoosedYear.Value, fields!Moneyspent.value,
0))), 2) & "$"
However, the subtotal gives me an error. What should I do?
P.S.: I already found that the subtotal gives me an error because it's not in the scope of the rowgroup1, but is there a way to get the scope in the subtotal? or can anybody find another way to do it?

Hello to All,
Is it possible to hide Font Bold Propery from FontDialog.
Thanks
If you can think then I Can.
|
|
|
|
|
You can't
If you just want to offer the different fonts without styling and sizing etc. how about just showing a combo box with the list of installed fonts?
e.g.
Dim installedFonts as New System.Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection()
For Each family As System.Drawing.FontFamily In installedFonts.Families
me.comboBox1.Items.Add(family.Name)
Next
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for reply.
I agree with your suggesion. But i want to do with fontdialog.
If you can think then I Can.
|
|
|
|
|
There are no options to turn off any of the controls in the dialog.

I am trying to insert data into SQL Server 2008 table using vb.net. When I try to insert the data I get the error "OleDbException was unhandled" Incorrect syntax near 'Name'. The code line MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery is highlighted when the error is thrown. I can't find anything wrong. Can someone please help me out? Here is my code:
Dim myConnection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection<br />
myConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI10;Server=S10615-10\SQLEXPRESS;Database=Assessment; Trusted_Connection=yes;"<br />
<br />
Dim myCommand As OleDb.OleDbCommand<br />
Dim strOleDb As String<br />
<br />
myConnection.Open()<br />
<br />
strOleDb = "INSERT INTO AssessmentPage1 (Client Name, DOB, Medical Records #, Medicaid Number, Consumer's Name, Medicaid #, Consumer's ID, Clinicians, Parents/Guardians Name, Address, Clinicians(1), Phone Numbers, Date or Referral, Date of Assessment, School Name/Address/Phone #, Identifying Information, Presenting Problems, Referral Information) VALUES(" & TextBox1.Text & "," & TextBox2.Text & "," & TextBox3.Text & "," & TextBox4.Text & "," & TextBox5.Text & "," & TextBox6.Text & "," & TextBox7.Text & "," & TextBox8.Text & "," & TextBox9.Text & "," & TextBox10.Text & "," & TextBox11.Text & "," & TextBox12.Text & "," & TextBox13.Text & "," & TextBox14.Text & "," & TextBox15.Text & "," & TextBox16.Text & "," & TextBox17.Text & "," & TextBox18.Text & ")"<br />
<br />
<br />
myCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(strOleDb, myConnection)<br />
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()<br />
<br />
'Close and clean up objects<br />
myConnection.Close()<br />
myCommand.Dispose()<br />
myConnection.Dispose()

That looks terrible. You should:
1.
show code in PRE tags (not in CODE tags); better formatting, better readability.
2.
give real names to all your variables and controls; a bunch of numbered textboxes is awful.
3.
not directly stuff user input into an SQL statement. Google "SQL injection" and start using parameterized SQL.
[ADDED]
4.
when you don't use parameterized SQL, then stuff string and datetime literals in appropriate delimiters.
[/ADDED]
Furthermore, I discourage the use of whitespace and special characters in database field names.
