using slider control in Access Horst Graben 19.06.2006 13:58:01 I have a question which is so embarassingly sub-moronic, yet, seemingly so very impossible to find simple documentation for the simpleton such as myself ..... I have a simple table, lets say with 2 fields, a index and an integer (my_slide_value). I want a form with a slider control and I want the slider control to update the interger variable in the table. That's all. My Access 2003 has a couple of sliders, for example the MS Slider Control, version 6.0 (MSComctlLib.Slider.2) foir example. Don't I simply need to use the Expression Builder (Event tab of properties menu) and define an event such as "On lost focus" ? But an expression like: =[my_slide_value] does not update the table. Can someone please contribute to my enlightenment?

That lists all ActiveX control, but Access isn't capable of working with all ActiveX controls. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=202104 for what limitations there are. That having been said, I don't understand how you're trying to use =[my_slide_value]. Assuming you named the ActiveX control you added on to the form "my_slide_value", try referring to the control as Me.my_slide_value -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Horst Graben" <HorstGraben[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:03821162-669D-4EE8-B565-63E25CB4BAB1[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: using slider control in Access Horst Graben 20.06.2006 09:57:01 Thank you Doug. I am not at all familliar with Visual Basic, or indeed operating in a programming environment like Access. I am trying to create a, conceptually at least, simple application where users "enter data" into a form using a slider control. .... On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like Strawberry ice cream on Turkey? ... The user "slides the slider" and this value gets written to the table. I don't understand why the slider cannot be as easy to use as a text box? "That having been said, I don't understand how you're trying to use =[my_slide_value]. Assuming you named the ActiveX control you added on to the form "my_slide_value", try referring to the control as Me.my_slide_value" ActiveX Component Categories Supported in Access 2000 • Simple Databinding, which is the ability to bind one property of a control to a field in a table. • The Controls component category.
