CommandButton.FontWeight Property (Access)

You can use the DatasheetFontWeight property to specify the line width of the font used to display and print characters for field names and data in Datasheet view. Read/write Integer.

Syntax

expression .FontWeight

expression A variable that represents a CommandButton object.

Remarks

The DatasheetFontWeight property applies to all fields in Datasheet view and to form controls when the form is in Datasheet view.

These properties are only available in Visual Basic within a Microsoft Access database.

In Visual Basic, the DatasheetFontWeight property setting uses the following Integer values.

The following table contains the properties that don't exist in the DAO Properties collection of until you set them by using the Formatting (Datasheet) toolbar or you can add them in an Access database by using the CreateProperty method and append it to the DAO Properties collection.

Example

The following example sets the font to MS Serif, the font size to 10 points, and the font weight to medium (500) in Datasheet view of the Products table.

 
Sub SetDatasheetFont 
 
   Dim dbs As Object, objProducts As Object 
   Set dbs = CurrentDb 
   Const DB_Text As Long = 10 
   Const DB_Integer As Long = 3 
   Set objProducts = dbs!Products 
    
   SetTableProperty objProducts, "DatasheetFontName", DB_Text, "MS Serif" 
   SetTableProperty objProducts, "DatasheetFontHeight", DB_Integer, 10 
   SetTableProperty objProducts, "DatasheetFontWeight", DB_Integer, 500 
 
End Sub 
 
Sub SetTableProperty(objTableObj As Object, strPropertyName As String, _ 
        intPropertyType As Integer, varPropertyValue As Variant) 
    ' Set Microsoft Access-defined table property without causing 
    ' nonrecoverable run-time error. 
    Const conErrPropertyNotFound = 3270 
    Dim prpProperty As Variant 
    On Error Resume Next                ' Don't trap errors. 
    objTableObj.Properties(strPropertyName) = varPropertyValue 
    If Err <> 0 Then                    ' Error occurred when value set. 
        If Err <> conErrPropertyNotFound Then 
            On Error GoTo 0 
            MsgBox "Couldn't set property '" & strPropertyName _ 
                & "' on table '" & objTableObj.Name & "'", 48, "SetTableProperty" 
        Else 
            On Error GoTo 0 
            Set prpProperty = objTableObj.CreateProperty(strPropertyName, _ 
                intPropertyType, varPropertyValue) 
            objTableObj.Properties.Append prpProperty 
        End If 
    End If 
    objTableObj.Properties.Refresh 
End Sub

The next example makes the same changes as the preceding example in Datasheet view of the open Products form.

Forms!Products.DatasheetFontName = "MS Serif" 
Forms!Products.DatasheetFontHeight = 10 
Forms!Products.DatasheetFontWeight = 500
