slider in access

Look at sample

on the other tab I dont have those options unless its the wrong slider control: i have MSComctlLib.Slider.2 from slider control version 6 under active x controls

its ok i found it in a sub section

when i try to change the values it says invalid property, its under custom.

Its strange if I just close the dialogue it accepts the change, it wont accept apply.

"on the other tab I dont have those options unless its the wrong slider control"

Which options?

Ok I am having trouble finding: select the slider control from the dropdown, then expand the events list and you will see the Change event.

I found on the left side the properties of bhpSlider (my name for it) I clicked the cross to open event but the hidden change event didnt appear.

I dont have that change event, i created a new slider control and the dropdown only has 5 events but no change event as far as I can see.

I tried adding manually:
Private Sub BHPSlider_Change()

    MsgBox "Changed" & Me.BHPSlider.Value

End Sub

Dale, can you make a screenshot from Data tab of Silder control properties? A also have no Change event for this control and Other Tab looks different from yours

As I stated above, the Change event for the slider is only visible in the CODE window, not in the form design or in the Property Dialog.

1.  Open your form in Design view.
2.  Press Ctrl-G (this will open the VBA Code window)3.  At the top of that form, in the drop-down on the left, select the slider control (in your case, it should read "Slider1")
4.  In the Events drop-down, select the Change event.

The data tab on my properties window only has three entries:

Very strange, Class is the same. Can you show version of mscomctl.ocx (system32 or SysWOW64). I have version 6.1.98.34. Other tab for this control has only few options (it was cutted on previous screenshot, but there is only one line more)

as it turns out i didnt need the change event, fortunately as I looked exactly where you said in the vba code window and the change event is not there. Anyway I only required the value of the slider and its worked perfectly well in my case. Still curious as to why the change event cannot be seen, I am in win 8, access 2010.

I have split the points hope thats satisfactory to both.

@als,

I'm using the system32 version of the Common Controls 6.0 (SP6).  But I'm not sure how to get the Version # of that.

@Peter,

You should also be able to get to the Min/Max values by right clicking on the slider control, then selecting the "Slider Object" -> Properties, then click the "General" tab on the Slider Properties dialog.

I guess I failed to see your reference to Win8, Access 2010.  Are you using 32 or 64 bit Office?

But lets go back for a moment.

Why not just use the "Scroll Bar" control?
It does not have the fancy tickmarks, (they can be simulated easily with labels) but it does what you ask for...
<get the slider to slide and return the new values the idea being that the user selects a value with the slider and then a filter is created from that value. >
(Still can only access the Change Prop form VBA though...)

Sample attached...

Then you can filter with something roughly like this:
Dim lngValue As Long
lngValue = Me.ScrollBar0
Me.Filter = "SomeField=" & lngValue
Me.FilterOn = True
