Access 2003 And Automatically Finding Records In Forms
Jul 19, 2005
I currently Have this form setup in 2 sections. The first section includes 2 text boxes for Eligibility Number (field name = EligibilityNum) and the second for School (SchoolName). The second section is a subform called sfrmSchools that includes all the eligibility numbers, schools and other useful information.
I have created an Access 2003 database from a ledger. The main key is an eligibility number that corresponds to a school. There are over 2000 schools in my database. How can I program Access to automatically find the record (eligibility number or school) if I type it in the first section. For instance if I was looking for a given school with an eligibility number of 5670A0324. If I type in '56' I would be taken to those eligibility numbers with 56 to show. Same for if I typed in the name of a school. If the school I wanted started with 'D', I would be taken to them.
I am relatively new to Access and I was wondering if there is a way to automatically respond to delete table prompts when running a macro.
Currently I am running a macro that takes about 2 hours, and sporatically asks 'are you sure you want to delete table x'. I have to check on it every 10min or so to respond 'yes' or it will pause the macro. Quite a hassle if I am busy with other tasks and forget to check it.
I am working on MS Access 2010 and have come across a bit complex situation. I have a table with about 20 fields. In a main form, I have added 4 sub-forms where each sub-form is showing 5 fields of each record from the table. This is because of step by step data entry into the same record. I have made these sub-forms as "Continuous Forms" and have given them look of Data Sheet.
There are about 1000 records currently present in the table and these are showing in my sub-forms (5 fields each). Now the problem is that, when I have my Focus on one record in my first sub-form to enter some data, and then I click on second tab of sub-form, the same records should be shown in second sub-form as well. Currently it is not being happening and I have to scroll down my second sub-form to search that particular record. It will become much more difficult when number of records will increase.
How can I work it around and get my cursor on the same record on every sub-form?
I'm wondering what would be the best way to update a list of records based on today's date. Right now I have it to open the form based on the LAST record and then navigate to the record they would like to update, I would only like to show what was entered that day.
I have created a tabel in access 2003 which has information about employees and i have to put even their photos as records so i can see them in a report that i have created too.
How many records does MS Access 2003 hold, i.e. is there a limitation & what is it?The toolbox greys out after being selected on the Menu options even though Tools/Startup/allow built-in toolbars is selected - how to activate the toolbox in 2003 version?
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri Masonry NSW');'
I added several records in another table but it wont show the records until I press the Refresh button at the ribbon of Home-> Refresh. How can i view the records automatically without pressing the Refresh button?
I am making a database for some people I work with, I'm having trouble with making a button to work. I want a button to go to the next tab on the tab control, but still in the same record. I prefer not to use the vba, but if I need to use it
I designed an inventory control software and we are managing our stock through barcode scanning, it is working well although i have a problem to solve that i have put a combo box for scanning code 39 barcode, upon scan the barcode a code is entered into combo box and then we need to press the "ENTER" key to go for new record, we would like to ms access form to automatically go to new record when a code input from scanner.
I have successfully used the recommended way to display images from a folder in a form as posted on the microsoft website.

These instructions were for Access 2000. I noticed that there are seperate instructions for doing this using Access 2003.:

My questions are: 1. If multiple users access this database using different versions of Access (2000 and 2003) will it not work for some? 2. do i have to modify code if i update to 2003?
i am getting stuck while updating the data in the database table using a command button in the MS Access2003 forms. when i click the command button in the form, a message "Run time 2185: you cant refer to a property or method for a control unless the control has a focus". the code is as follows.
rivate Sub Command10_Click() Dim query As String
query = "select RESOURCEINFO from tbl_control where CONTROLNAME='" + Combo4.Text + "'"
If (cn.State <> 1) Then cn.Open "dsn=ABC", "", "" End If rs.Open query, cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic RESOURCEINFO.SetFocus rs.Fields(0) = RESOURCEINFO rs.Update
rs.Close Set rs = Nothing cn.Close Set cn = Nothing On Error GoTo Err_Command10_Click
I am using John Big Bootys Dynamic Search Form (built in Access 2003) as it totally met my search requirements, however when typing anything into the search box it is realy slow, taking several seconds for each letter to show in the box.
This has always been a problem now and again, however some of us have upgraded to Office 2010, (although still using the 2003 built Db as we won't move to a 2010 version Db untill March next year) and now the problem is even worse that ever. Everything else seems to work really well except for this search function, however it is the search function that is used more that anything else.
When I import a form with the Navigation control on it The following attributes of the navigation buttons are changed to #FFFFFF:
Hover Color, Pressed Color, Hover Fore Color, Pressed Fore Color
I was hoping to be able to automate the updating of customers databases by sending them a database which would export the required objects rather than the whole front end database. I can think a way around this by including code in the form so that it changes the attributes to the desired values, which are:
Accent 1, Accent 1, Background 1 and Background 1. But I would rather not have to do that.
It is interesting to note that the Border Color attribute is not changed on importing.
The user can select multiple items (non-sequential) on the listbox, say items 1 and 35313. I'd like the listbox to scroll (meaning display) to the currrently selected item, so that the user can see it while being processed.
I've seen stuff about property ListIndex, which does exactly that, but it's only useful when you have just ONE item selected (in a multiselect listbox apparently it deselects the rest of the items, so no point in using it, I guess, unless there's more to it!!).
So the key here is how to do the scrolling/display.
The code to loop through the listbox and process each selected item is attached:
Code: Dim vItem As Variant Dim Content as String For Each vItem In Me.lst.ItemsSelected 'scroll to selected item ??? 'processing of the selected item Content = Me.lst.Column(1, vItem) 'copy the content to do sth with it Me.lst.Selected(vItem) = False 'unselect the current item Next vItem 'go to next selected item
how to scroll to the currently selected item? Mind that I need to go through the list of selected items to process them for further use (i.e, I need them selected).
I have a access 2003 database, and i am wondering if i can't setup a search function in a form that will open a file in windows explorer?
What i would like to do is have a test box that i enter in a number for example: 1234 then have a button named "Search" hit that button and it opens a corresponding file in windows explorer named 1234, or just opens that folder directly..
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0%"
I continually receive a runtime error 1004 " unable to get tick labels property of the axis class"
if I remove this code, then I error on the following code:
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart If FrmGraphObj.SeriesCollection(2).HasDataLabels Then
also a runtime 1004: "unable to get the seriescollection property of the chart class" on the last line above
searched this forum and found:
If your chart is in a form (or report), you have to:
1) refer to the form (or report) name (Form_Charts)
2) refer to the name of the object frame holding your chart (.Graph1)
3) refer to the object within the frame (.Object)
4) refer to the application that created the object (.Application)
5) refer to the actual chart itself (.Chart)
6) refer to the axes collection and select the axis you want to reference - in this case the category, or X-axis (.Axes(xlCategory))
I made the assumption, that I would just replace xlCategory with xlValue for the Y-axis. So I'm back to:
Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Graph With FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue) .TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0%" End With
Same error....
Looked in the Microsoft Graph Visual Basic Reference and it indicated:
"Tick-mark label text for the value axis is calculated based on the MajorUnit, MinimumScale, and MaximumScale properties of the value axis. To change the tick-mark label text for the value axis, you must change the values of these properties."
I reset my code to call these 2 functions prior to changing the number format.....
Public Sub txtMaxPercent_AfterUpdate() Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = txtMaxPercent End Sub Public Sub txtMinPercent_AfterUpdate() Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = txtMinPercent End Sub
now I am receiving error 1004 again, this time it states "Unable to set the minimumscale property of the axis class" erroring on this line....
I've had to export data from an old third party database to Access with the task of reporting on the data. I have a client table and work tables, one for each year going back to 1992. In the original database, the clients do not have a date of when they were set up. I need to find out how long clients have been with us, so I thought of going back through the work tables 2006 to 1992 and finding out where they first occurred, by looking for duplicate records in the tables. Is this a simple enough thing to do? The client table and work tables are linked through the field Client.
Can't think how I would do this. If I create a query with a certain date then it will need to be changed every time the query is run. How would I write a query that automatically looks for a date 3 months or more old.
I have a table, and there are many records, each with a unique value in the OrderNumber field
I have a text box on a form, and i want it to work so that the user types in a OrderNumber value, and it loads that record into the form (the form is bound to the table)
I already know how to load a record by record number, but how can i do it by OrderNumber value?
Hello, i need to have my database find records that were entered between two dates. To do this i made a query that included the dates the records needed to be in between....[date1] and [date2]. Then i had the record dates be called [sent date]. i made my query and in the criteria for [sent date] i wrote (Between [Date1] And [Date2]) when i enter the two dates [date1] and [date2] the query does not show the records that are between that date. why is this happening? is there and easier way? another way? For example, say that i have records with their [sent dates] equaling 12/30/2004, 1/1/2005, 10/1/2005 i want to make it so that when the user inputs a records with dates [date1] and [date2], that those records will show up if their [sent dates] are between [date1] and [date2]. if [date1] is 1/1/2003 and [date2] is 1/1/2006, all of the records will show up. if [date1] is 12/31/2004 and [date2] is 1/3/2005, then only the record with the date 1/1/2005 will show up. how can i do this?

It's combining data from 2 system Identified by E or L. The data is similar but not exact & I'm comparing it using the description. What I need Access to do is find the record that doesn't "zero-out". In the example above the record it should pull is the last one "Kroger $389.74". How to do this but I do have a query/report that will subtotal based on the LOC-RC field.
I supply data to our customer for their system, a single table listing 1.9 millon records. 1 of the 7 fields is unique but the rest in the table can contain duplicated data. My problem is caplial letters vs lower case. How can I query my table to find just the mixed and lower case versions of for example "BIRMINGHAM" ie "birmingham" or "Birmingham". My customers system is rejecting the Data due to some lower case entries.
