I have a 22 column report where I am trying to builld search criteria so you can search everything and anything. I have everything from texts, (comments tools) to numbers (weekly periods and reference numbers). Its hard to explain clearly but have tried to get this working. Basically, so far, I have built like and or statements for each column. The Query will run but will not be in any order. If I build the following:
A = Like "open" or "closed" - Information open or closed
B = Like "1" or "2" or "3" or "4" - Quarterly Periods
C = Like "1" or "2" or "3" or "4" or "5" (all the way up to 52) - Weeks in Year
It is more complex than this, but if I build these statements and run a query, Access will search for them but will not bring out the required information. I need Access for instance to pull only the information for say A=open, B=2 and C=3. I dont want to see the rest of the informaiton in that Query. Any ideas how to build this? Please help.
I've created a database in access 2003 with the default file format being Access 2000. Everything works fine on my computer and many others, all of whom are running different versions of access (2000, 2002 & 2003).
I have not had any problems with this database until recently and in the last few weeks we have had 2 users, both of them being Access 2000 users who have had the same problem.
The problem they are having is that when they click on any of the switchboard items, the buttons depress an then come back up again when the cursor is moved away, but nothing else happens - no action, no error message - nothing!!! Its the same for all of the buttons on the switchboard.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have another computer with Access 2000 on it and this works fine, as it does on several other computers runiing Access 2000, I just cannot understand why it is not working on these 2 particular machine.......
We have just changed from Access 97 to 2000 (only 6 years behind) and I use a database that has this piece of code running:
Private Sub DateOfAction_AfterUpdate() DoCmd.Requery Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails]![Child68].Requery Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails]![Child71].Requery Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails].SetFocus Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails]![CallID].SetFocus End Sub
After the record was input 2 subforms would refresh to recalculate a field storing the total time and then it would set focus to the main form to allow you move to the next record. Now the database has changed to 2000, this no longer works which is a pain in the bum.
I have a database that currently has security in place so that users input their own usernames and passwords to access the database. The users have recently been added to a windows 2000 server and I want to be able to use their windows 2000 server logon credentials to provide them with automatic access to the database. Is there anyone out there who knows how to set this up? It is a rather urgent request if you could get back to me either on this forum or via email
I am opening and closing a series of Excel 2000 Workbooks using Access 2000 VBA and want this sequence to be able to complete without any human intervention.
However, there are 2 instances when this stops and waits for a human option to be selected:
1. When the spreadsheet is password protected 2. When the spreadsheet has automatic links I get the message:
"The Workbook you opened contains automatic links to information in another workbook. Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to the other workbook?"
How can I code it so that in situation 1 it skips this file and in situation 2 it automatically defaults to do not update?
If I have a report in MS Access 2000 generated based on the criteria selected of a project with work order "9999" with the labor costs, materials costs and the Totals of each crew1, crew2,... and I would like to have those expenditures populated in corresponding cel in Excel for each crew, HOW would I do it?
To think it out loud, could I create a button on a form, so when I select the criteria for the work order, and when I click the button, it should refresh/update the Exel file with the new data...?? How do I write VBA code for that...?
I have recently been doing a conversion for my boss for a access 2000 database (both front and backend) to a MSSQL backend.
I finished the conversion today (as quite a lot of the code / queries ran slow due to access running the queries locally rather than on the server). And tested it on my and my boss's machine with no problems so he gave the go ahead to update everybody to our new mssql 2000 backend with the modified frontend.
This is when the problems started; We had two different sets of forms for accessing one of our databases systems - the log system, one is the original dynaset based form, and the other is a newer set which uses snapshot views and preforms updates via queries. Nobody uses the old dyanset system apart from my boss and one of the administrative team as they have things on that window which they need to see. About 30 minutes into the release of the new database the system frooze up on my bosses computer and nobody could create a new log (the server was timing out). I assumed this had something to do with the old dynaset's creating locks on the table.
I offlined the database and kicked everybody out of the front end, turned it on again and tied again, this time banning everybody from the dynaset system. Within 10 minutes another computer frooze up, again with a timeout on the insert query. I discovered that after you had added a new log to the database it would timeout on all subquent additions (something it hadn't done during testing) . Further investigatiion showed it was the snapshot list window causing the error, so coded the add log window to close the list before preforming the insert query and then reopen it afterwards. This allowed my machine to make multible additions without flaw. So I released a new client to everybody. 15 minutes later it was timing out again, but this time there you could not even make one new record.
I checked for locks on the table though the server management table and couldn't find any for the Log table. I have restarted the SQL server box and with no avil. So I reverted our backend to the access mdb file and told people to use the old client.
I am at a complete lose to why this is happening, if anybody has had any expericences like this or knows the cause please tell me.
Some information on the database in question.
It was made as an access 2 database all intergrated into one file, then it was seperated into two files (frontend and backend). Upgraded to Access 97, then to 2000 before this final update to MSSQL 2000.
The log system has two main tables. The first is the log title / info table which links (one to many) to a log entry table. This problem only occurs on the main log table and does not appear to be reoccurring anywhere else within the database. The main log table has just under 18,000 rows in it.
I need to change the Query somehow. I had earlier made a table consisting of book # , Chapter # , and verse #. I had seen a triple listbox online and asked the designer to make the necessary changes to make it work. So he created 3 Queries, a book Query, a chapter Query, and a verse Query.
But later I decided to remove realizing that some columns were unnecessary, it messed up the chapter Query and verse Query. Can someone guide me how to recreate the Queries?
I'll post a sample for you to check. I reduced the data to make it postable, but it affected the "chapter" Query and the "verse" Query.
What I need to to is delete the "chap" column and the "vers" replacing them with the existing "chapter" column and the "verse" column. I would appreciate if someone can work with me on this one.
I am trying to compare 2 tables in a mdb. One table is a linked xls file. Lets call it table A. The other is a standard table. Lets call it table B.
Table A is the "old" data that may need updated. Table B is the brand new data that will always be correct.
I want to find the differences in table B from table A. Keying off one field (ASSET_TTAG and T_TAG) if any of the attributes (8 attributes) of a record in table B are different from that matching record in table A then that record needs to be updated.
Also, if a record in table B is not in table A that will need updated also.
All of these discrepancies need to be displayed in a query along with all the attributes.
LCAMdump = Table A, SCANDATA_tbl = table B
SELECT SCANDATA_tbl.ASSET_TTAG, SCANDATA_tbl.BUILDING_NAME, SCANDATA_tbl.FLOOR, SCANDATA_tbl.DESK, SCANDATA_tbl.COLUMN, SCANDATA_tbl.FNAME, SCANDATA_tbl.LNAME, SCANDATA_tbl.SSO FROM SCANDATA_tbl LEFT OUTER JOIN LCAMdump ON SCANDATA_tbl.ASSET_TTAG = LCAMdump.T_TAG;
That is what i have so far. But it is returning a test record that i know is the same in both therefor should not be listed. :confused:
SELECT SCANDATA_tbl.ASSET_TTAG, SCANDATA_tbl.BUILDING_NAME, SCANDATA_tbl.FLOOR, SCANDATA_tbl.DESK, SCANDATA_tbl.COLUMN, SCANDATA_tbl.FNAME, SCANDATA_tbl.LNAME, SCANDATA_tbl.SSO FROM SCANDATA_tbl INNER JOIN LCAMdump ON SCANDATA_tbl.ASSET_TTAG = LCAMdump.T_TAG WHERE ((([SCANDATA_tbl]![USER _ID])<>[LCAMdump]![USER_LOGIN])) OR (((SCANDATA_tbl.BUILDING_NAME)<>[LCAMdump]![BUILDING])) OR (((SCANDATA_tbl.FLOOR)<>[LCAMdump]![FLOOR])) OR (((SCANDATA_tbl.DESK)<>[LCAMdump]![DESK])) OR (((SCANDATA_tbl.COLUMN)<>[LCAMdump]![COLUMN])) OR (((SCANDATA_tbl.FNAME)<>[LCAMdump]![USER_FIRST])) OR (((SCANDATA_tbl.LNAME)<>[LCAMdump]![USER_LAST])) OR (((SCANDATA_tbl.SSO)<>[LCAMdump]![LOGIN_SSO]));
I have also tried this but it is not quite what i am looking for. :( Not sure how hard this is, at first it did not seem like a difficult query but i am not getting anywhere fast.
I'm just wondering if there is any differences in writing queries in vba in different versions of access. i'm developing a search function in access 2000, but it doesn't seem to be working. however, the same code in access 2003 works fine.
Here's an extract of the code when the search button is clicked (I'm getting table information, attribute/field information and condition they're specifying from the user. The result is then displayed in a subform):
Private Sub cmdFind_Click() Dim searchSQL As String
The part in red is the part that is highlighted whenever i run it in access 2000. The error message is: " You entered an experession that has an invalid reference to the property RecordSource "
Can anyone tell my why it's like that and how i can fix it to work for access 2000?
Thanks I've also enclosed a picture of the form, so you can get a feel of what it looks like.
Can you do a pivot table from a query in Access 2000? I found links that shows new features in Access 2003 that allows it, but no definitive information if it can be done from Access 2000. My tables can pivot fine, but no luck on my queries? If not, is there an easy way to get a query to a table in order to do a pivot table?
I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.
The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?
I have two tables linked together with one-one relationship with primary key. The form has been created using a select query using these two tables. total fields at present is 253(table1=25 fields, Table2=228 fields Total = 253 fields)
Now my problem is I have to add 20 fields more to the above. so the total fields now is 273 fields but it is not accepting and giving the error as "Too many keys defined 3190".
I am working in MS Access 2000. I have a query that is returning a table with various types of data. The problem is I can't seem to find anywhere in the Access GUI that will show me the data types of columns it has returned so I can't manually create a table to hold the values returned by query. Question is two fold:
1. Is there a way in Access SQL to import data returned from a query into a table that is not yet defined. Some like this: a. Create a table that has a primary key but doesn't yet know the number of columns and/or data types of those columns. b. Import the data from a query into this table and have it create the columns and copy the data types and populate the table while also numbering each row by primary key.
or 2. Is there a way to find out what the data types are for a table returned by a query in MS Access. I have checked the properites of the query and have been up and down the gui looking but I can't find a way while looking at the data returned by a query to explicitely see the data type (i.e., number, Date/Time, etc..) used by each column.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.
I upgraded a 2000 db to 2003 recently. When I ran the function below it gave me an error on the line in green. Any thoughts? Thanks. Const FIRSTROW = 13

I have recently installed access 2003 w/access 97 installed both are on my hard drive. When I create a new db in access 2003 it saves it in an access 2000 format. Does any one know why it does this?
We have two computers in a work group. On computer1 I have the back-end and front-end database files in the shared folder and 2 users out of 4 can access the database no problem. When the other users try to access the database they receive the error message "Microsoft Access can't Find The Database 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsdb.mdb' Make sure you entered the correct path and filename" On computer2 I have the front-end database files in the shared folder and pointing to the same back-end database on computer1. Again 2 users out of 4 can access the database no problem. When the other users try to access the database they receive the same error described above.
I expect that this is some sort of windows permissions issue? There are some clues to this fact .. The two users that can't access the database are limited accounts, but I tried making them administrators and this had no affect. Their shared documents folder does not have a hand underneath it?
Any help on this appreciated as it's really starting to annoy me now!
A few years ago I’ve made an access database on access 2000. The problem is that now I’ve installed the office 2003, and I can’t make the database work properly.
At first says that are missing those files: “tshoot.ocx”, “msioff9.ocx” and “msowc.dll”; so, I’ve copy them from another computer using office 2000 and now only complains about “msioff9.ocx” saying that my database contains a reference incomplete to it.
Is there no other way to convert my database do work properly with access 2003? What can I do?
The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
I have recently installed access 2003 w/access 97 installed both are on my hard drive. When I create a new db in access 2003 it saves it in an access 2000 format. Does any one know why it does this?
I have one Project in Ms access 2000. If I create Setup(Package) it's working fine in Access2000 but for Access 2003 I need to install Ms Access 2000 Runtime. Kindly tell me how to install Access 2000 Package in Access 2003 without installing Access 2000 Runtime. Can it support backword compatibility ?
