We have a database that was being used by two different people to edit the same record at the same time. They both got error messages and now there is one record on the table that is now filled with ######. The table will no longer allow any queries to be ran against it. We figured that that table is somehow corrupt. We tried to compact and repair and that didn't work. It won't allow us to copy nor export any data from it. Are there anythoughts as to what we can do?
I have a main table, which I then query specifying 'XXX' in multiple fields to bring back no records. Then I set up a form based on that query so I always have a blank form to enter details to the table.
Access is saving the record every time I amend a field. I'm now stipulating that many of the fields must have data in and am repeatedly getting the 'field name must not be zero' error message even when I'm nowhere near that field.
I need to disable autosave and then put the docmd.acsave etc once all fields are complete.
I would like continuous subform as a list box in my file. Now when click fields on my form the entire record will not be highlighted. In the sample I have found from the net when click on each field in the form entire row will be highlighted. So I try to using function in the sample for my own but it does not work and when I click on each field just that field in 1 second will be highlighted and entire row will not be highlighted.
Private Sub P_ForceHighLight() On Error Resume Next Dim ct As Control, ct1 As Control DoCmd.Echo False Set ct1 = ActiveControl For Each ct In Me.Detail.Controls ct.SetFocus
I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?
Hi :rolleyes: I would like when I click a button for the system to automatically create a copy of the whole database and place it into a separate folder. How would I do this??? :confused:
I read somewhere that the main difference between JET AND SQL server is that a query rn through JET transfers the whole table across the network to the client machine and then processes it. Whereas, SQL server just transfers the particular record, say if you use a stored procedure. Is this actually true? What about if it's usng a SQL back end? Any links on this subject?
I have one table that will consists of about 1,000 rows. I have another table that consists of product codes that we want to exclude from the report. I know how to include the two tables by joining, but I want to EXCLUDE the 2nd table of product codes. Basically, if any of the product codes listed on table 2 are on table 1, I don't want them to appear. So how can I do an exclude function in a query?
Is there a way to search an entire database? Almost like a Google search where a user could put in a few key words and it would retrieve all records no matter which fields the key words appeared in?
Is there a way to import the records from another database table? I have an inventory database, blank, only the backend data is there. So everyone goes out on their own and gets inventory. At the end of the day, I would like to get flie 1, file 2, file 3, and only open file one, and only import the record from the other two inventory tables.
All these files will be exactly the same(Tables, queries,forms, everything). The only thing that will be different will be the data in the inventory table. Thanks for you help!
I have a table that has the following: Joint Account, Employer, Employer1...Employer20, subemployer1, subemployer2... subemployer5, addemployer1, addemployer2... addemployer5, removeemployer1, removeemployer2....removeemployer5.
It might be possible that any of the columns with the word "employer" in them have the same number in them. The Joint Account column might have the repeating number in it as well.
I want to be able to push a button on a form open a input box and enter a 7 digit employer number and search through the whole table and return all the rows where that number particular number is.
I have tried building a query using "like" in the criteria but you can only use that 8 times.
I have searched through this forum, but I am unable to find something that I could use. As I m not a seasoned access user, I do not quite know what to do with some of the other "search" questions I have seen.
Thank you in advance for any help that could be given or pointing in the right direction.
Hi, I want to have the entire field in a textbox selected, automatically, everytime the control is entered--- so the user can just begin typing and automatically type over the existing data in the textbox.
How do I do this?
I thought it would be as simple as adding something like the following to the textbox's on_enter event:
Sendkeys "doubleclick"
The textbox will always contain just a single "word", so this idea should work....but I can't find anything like a "doubleclick" that can be used with SendKeys.
I have a subform in datasheet view. I would like to put a button on the mainfor that checks all the subform records for spelling mistakes. Is this possible?
I am currently working with a database that has a table called "Students." I need to import records from a textfile that has a bunch of records, some new, some existing records but updated. I got them to import into a table used for imports (called "Import Table") and I was able to run a query to append the records if they were not already existing, but how do I get a Query to do both new inserts and updating existing records with new info from the imported data?
i.e.
Bob is in the database already, but needs to update his records. His updated record is in a textfile which is now in the "Import Table". But in that same textfile/table, there are some new people that need to be added.
I have a form which has a field called quote directory, this contains the path of the quote documents and sub folders, I also have a field called project directory.
When a quote is confirmed I have it all working so a new folder is created with specfic details like project number etc.What I want to do is move the folder from the quote directory and put it in the newly created folder in the project directory.
I have a process that takes a few minutes to finish. I would like a message box to appear and stay up for the entire process. I have a message box that tells the user it may take a few minutes to complete and one that tells them when its complete.
I am running an autocompact module in Access97 which will created a 'compacted version' of my database. I then want to rename this compacted version to the name of the original database I compacted. I cannot however find a way of doing this in code.
Basically the idea is to compact every 45 minutes or so, but what my autocompact is doing is creating a compacted version under a different name, and so compacting a copy of the database, I then want to change this compacted database name to the original name and re compact every 45 mins
I am trying to change all the fields of a table from All Caps to Propercase. I have used strconv propercase before, however only on a field by field basis. I have about 5 or tables that I have to do this to and am trying to save the typing. I know I can do this with a recordset (easily in asp), but am not familar enough to do this in vba. Can you do a for each fld, like in asp, or am I going at this the totally wrong way. I tried using an update query with the *, but access doesn't like that too much. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please help.... I have combined 2 Tables using a select * query. I have to do it this way as the data changes. The issue I have is that in both tables there is a common field called "Amps" Hence my resultant table has 2 columns, Table1.Amps and Table2.Amps. Every time this occurs I want to delete Table2 column entirely as I use this table to plot a graph.
In short- I need to know the code to delete a column from an existing Table.
Now each of these Tickers has a whole table of options associated with each particular ticker and the EASIEST way for me to proceed would be to simply link row MSFT with an ENTIRE table of MSFT_OPTIONS then link IBM with the table IBM_OPTIONS.
Keep in mind that I don't have a field called TICKER in the options table and MSFT does not appear anywhere in the options table.
I know I can go and add the TICKER field to the OPTIONS_TABLE and then assign a primary key and then link them both but this would involve a great deal more work since I have hundreds of stocks with options tables to link. The data I get is in a specific format and I don't want to have to massage the data too much.
The table happens to only have one column in it, so each record only has one field..
How do I convert the entire thing to lower case?
I can not just convert the display info to lower case, this table is used as a cross-reference data table and I need to physically convert all the data in the entire table to lower case.
Oh, and I need this to be a macro of some sort, since the data is re-imported on a regular basis, and will re-convert to upper case on the import.
I am trying to view the contents of a text field in a form. The field can only be a limited size in the form, but I want to store a lot of text in the field and have it visible without having to enter the field and use the arrow keys to view the contents. Is it possible to programme a function that shows the contents of a field when I roll the mouse over it or something like that? The "Control Tip Text" is the principal of what I am trying to do except this gives a fixed value. When used in web page development I think this function is refered to as "Alt tag"
I have a form with two unbound text boxes: HireMovieID and HireCustomerID, and a button HireButton which runs my query: HireHistoryQuery. Then I have a table: HireHistory. In my HireHistory table, I have my CustomerID's along the top as column names. Then the records for those columns are in this sort of format: "0001 on 19/05/2006" as type Text.How can I make it so that when a user enters a Customer ID (e.g. 23) into my HireCustomerID box in my form, it shows column number 23 and all it's records?
Also, what code do I need so that if someone enters something into the HireMovieID text box in my form (e.g. 0001) it shows all of the instances of that from the whole table in its respective column?
Here is a link that explains a little bit about it: [URL] .....
However, I'm having a problem with summing an entire field. Access does not have a DProduct() function, so it makes the math of "taking the Nth root of a product of 'X' numbers" kind of impossible without writing a custom function.
I have access BD and every one use it through shared folder. My problem is in attachment ! , if i use the regular attachment filed in access there is one user only able to attach files and others can`t attach any thing until he finish.
I tried to do attachment through VBA like below which make it worse as it lock the DB so, no one can even open the DB and one user only access the DB .
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2 Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2 Set db = CurrentDb Set rsParent = me.Recordset
[Code] .....
How multi users attach files at the same time without locking the DB.....
