Spreadsheet-like Entry Data Form Demo

**** Disclaimer ***

If you are new to database modeling or looking for a way to make Access act like Excel, this demo may not be for you. This demo represents a special case of data entry and is in no way a substitution for proper normalization, single form presentation among other things and in all probability will have limited use, if any, for several business models out there.

This database demonstrate how to create a entry form that provides a spreadsheet-like view and live form that can be updated real-time using a bound datasheet form. While this form uses checkboxes, there is no reason why it can't use textboxes or comboboxes, as long as this is a matrix of where each combination of a given row and a given column can only have exactly one value. In other words, no aggregating are actually done. This is useful for users who want to have a 'bird's eye view' and editing multiple records in a junction table representing a many-many relationship in a single form.

The demo is a class attendance record where it is assumed that new classes are created, and attendees registered for a given class are done in a separate forms (not included). The default form will display a selected class with attendees within the registration roster and dates specified for class meetings. All checkboxes are updateable, and new columns can be added for additional sessions. Attendee names are locked and the form will not allow additions, as per the assumptions.

Centering a form in the Access window
Centering a form in the Access window

Author:  Peter Schroeder

This  example (A2K format) contains a module that can be used to reliably center (both horizontally and vertically) a form in the Access Window. There is a very simple demo of how it works, as well. The module itself uses Windows API calls to determine the Access application client area and the dimensions of the form in question, and calculates what the TOP and LEFT settings of the form should be to be centered in the Access window.

 

To use, simply insert the entire modCenterForm into your own database. It is called as follows:


Code:


 

Call gfncCenterForm([form])
