How to Clear Items from Listbox



http://www.iaccessworld.com/clear-items-listbox/






In this How To, I will show how to clear items from a listbox. I will use the form that I created for How to Add Items from File Dialog to Listbox and add a Clear List button.

Step 1. Add Clear List button

  • Under the Design Menu, click a Command button icon then place it below the Add File button
  • Rename a button caption as Clear List
  • Name a button under the Other tab of Property Sheet as cmdClearList
  • Click Event tab of Property Sheet
  • Select [Event Procedure] on On Click event
  • Click three dots(…) at the end of [Event Procedure] to open the VB application

Step 2. Add VBA to Clear List button

  • Enter VBA code below under the On Click Event Procedure
Private Sub cmdClearList_Click()
Dim i As Integer
For i = lstFileLocation.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
    lstFileLocation.RemoveItem (i)
Next i
Me.txtFile = Null
End Sub
The VBA code above will remove the file path from File textbox and all file paths from the listbox.
Step 3. Add Clear List button
  • Save and close the form design view
  • Open form again
  • Click on Add File button
  • Select file that you want to show on the list box
The selected file from dialog will be displayed in the File textbox and in the listbox. When you add more files, they will be added into the listbox until you clear the listbox.
  • Click Clear List button
The file paths on both File box and on the listbox are removed same time.

https://accessdatabasetutorial.com/open-access-database-full-screen-opening-form-maximized/ Once users get a grip on form design techniques in  Microsoft Access database , they normally want to jump ahead and customize forms in their applications that appear polished and professional. One technique they can use is to  open Access in full screen  view which hides other no essential screens keeping your database neat and tidy. It requires a combination of setting various form properties during the design time mode and optionally (but ideally) applying either macros or VBA code  to the form’s module too.

DoCmd.OutputTo in xlsx (Excel 2007+) Format

https://www.devhut.net/2014/08/07/docmd-outputto-in-xlsx-excel-2007-format/ A common technique for exporting data to Excel is to utilize the   DoCmd.OutputTo  Method. Now, previously (pre Office 2007), the basic format to export a query to Excel format was simply: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "YourQueryName" , acFormatXLS, , True BUT, once you port such a database to a post Office 2007 computer, you start to get it exported as a “ Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook (*.xls) ” format and such a file will thus open Excel in compatibility mode possibly given the user compatibility errors/messages when they go to save the file after working with it. So unless you have to ensure legacy compatibility, it is strongly advisable to update your code to export the data in “ Excel Workbook (*.xlsx) ” format, the new Excel file format thus eliminating any compatibility issues. Hence, we simply need to change the  OutputFormat  format variable to a more appropriate format ( a
