When attempting to print a report in Access which was setup to print to a specific printer I am getting the following message.
This document was previously formatted for [printer name] which is currently not available. Do you want to use the default printer [printer name]
I don't understand because the printer and port name it is referencing is available and matches perfectly! I've tried removing the printer and deleting the port and re-adding it with no success.
I have a lovely report that includes a small color photograph. I'm sending the report to print on my HP Color LaserJet, but it is printing in black and white.
I can't find anything in the Properties that specifies whether this prints in color or black & white.
i have a materialsUsed tbl that list all the materials used in a job and the quantity of each.
(ID Material Code Quantity Unit of Measure)
I also have 2 look-up tables - 1 for the material codes and 1 for the units of measure
I have another table, priceperunitofMeasure
id material Code (FK to material lookup tbl) Unit of Measure (FK to unit of measure tbl) Price
In my form Users will select material code from combo box - enter the quantity, and select a unit of measure from a combo box.
For example: they could enter the following :
Paint 2 gallons Paint 3 tubes Paint 1 pint
How do I lookup the price per unit of measure for each of these records in the price per unit of meassure table? The price per unit of measure table has 2 foreign keys.
Does anyone know if there is a way to setup a button on a form that when pressed, will print to a specific printer (that's not the default)? For example, I have one button on my form that prints 2 copies to the default printer, then I want the other button on the form to print on another department's printer.
How can I setup my form print button to print to a specific printer, and then to a specific tray? We need to use different colors depending on the item we're printing. This is possible by changing the printer settings as I print each form, but I'd like a more automated way to do this. Help please. Jolene
where "CustomerFormatted" is the sheet I am trying to import in to the "Customer" table.
The error I get is Run Time Error 3011, The MS Access engine could not find the object "CustomerFormatted" make sure its name is spelled correctly ....
Is there any other way I can import an excel sheet in to an access table?
Access 2007 query that has a specific date range between #6/1/12014# and #7/1/2014# returns the date I need. How do I now get it to pull just occurrences on Fri Sat and Sun of the month of June?
I am inputing data into a form and then printing that sheet from the form directly. It is working great for that as long as I input the data and print the form immediately. The trouble comes though when I am trying to find the specific form sheet again to either make changes to it or to check something on it. In the beginning, I used the ID number to locate a form by the bottom index used for scrolling through all the individual sheets. As time as progressed though the ID number and index no longer match up. It makes it near impossible to locate any old form sheet. Any suggestions?? Thanks
Hi everybody, My question may sound you stupid but i am a newbie and i think you can help me... My problem is, I have records that have the id of a stuff and the error codes of the stuff which are occured in production. Therefore not all of the fields in the record are non-zero. I want to find the non-zero field/fields in a record... Any help will be greatly appreciated... Thanks...
I have created a database with a switchboard and a form ("RMA"). Currently, on my "RMA" form I have a command button that allows the user to find a specific record by entering an RMA number into an input box. My code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdFindRMA_Click() Dim myFilter as String If vFindRMA = "" Then 'vFindRMA is a global variable, string. vFindRMA = InputBox ("Enter the RMA Number to find:", "Find RMA", "", 5000, 3000) myFilter = "[RMA_Number]='" & vFindRMA & "'" Me.Filter = myFilter If Me.Filter = "" Then Me.FilterOn = False Else Me.FilterOn = True End If End If vFindRMA = "" End Sub
I want to be able to remove this command button from my RMA form and add it to my Switchboard. My problem is, I don't know what code I need to use in order for it to work from the switchboard. Can anyone help?
From what I have read, I understand you can't use the seek command on a recordset from a linked table from another database. Is that true? If so, what is the alternative to find a specific record in the table using an indexed field?
I know I am not alone on this one, as I have seen this problem posted elsewhere before.
We have installed Access 2003 on 2 workstations in a Windows Server 2003 domain, and on both these workstations, when you mouse over the print icon in the toolbar, it reports "No Printer" and indeed, we cannot print to the network printer from Access 2003, even though a printer is installed and working.
All other Office applications print to the printer OK, its just Access that doesn't seem to find the printer.
On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce 2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format. 3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ... 4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help: "ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
When opening Access, the default printer changes from "Letter" to "User-Defined". The output is then unreadable. I then change it back to "Letter" and all is fine until I reopen Access with the same result. I'm using Access 2003 with a Brothers HL1440 How can I make Access leave the printer's default setting as it is?
I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features. Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing! Help! I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
I have recently changed computers from a WindowsNT to and XP. When using the NT machine, I am able to print my Access report. However, when I hook up the XP machine and request a report from one specific database, I get the following message....this message also comes up if I try to open print preview or page setup.
"There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable."
I don't think it is a printer error as the error is occurring in this one database. I have successfully printed a test page and can open up other Access databases and print. I also tried converting the database to the 2002 format....but that did not make a difference either. There must be a setting in the database that is causing the error.....
Hi All - I'm developing a database that requires records to be entered and updated. When updating records, the user must select an item from switchboard (Update a Record) which takes them to a screen/form where the user can enter the record number. When the record number is entered and the user clicks on the "OK Button" I need one of two actions to occur ... (1) the user is taken to the record for updating or (2) the application returns a message "Record Not Found".
Can anyone tell me how I can code this?
At this time I get a message that my form name is not recognized within the expression I've "built" in the macro.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated before I go bald from pulling my hair out!!
I am just starting Access... Or at least trying to learn it on a small project, and I need a jumpstart, if someone woild be so kind and help me out.
I need to organize my e-mail sendings.
In one table (Table Sent) I have e-mail addresses where I have already sent messages. In an other (Table New) I have some other e-mail addresses, I am preparing to send out.
To make sure to not send mail to those who already got one, I need to compare the two tables, and delete from the Table New those addresses which are already present in Table Sent.
I guess that would be a 2-3 line SQL script... All of my attempts so far produced no results
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
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.
Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).
Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.
I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.
