I was just converted from 97 to 2003 this weekend. I have a query set up that links a field to a form to get the date entered in the form into the query. For example if I enter 12/31/04 on the form and run my query it is put in the field 12/31/04. But in 2003 it is just blank. The formula I used in 97 is
StartDate: [Forms]![Cash Flow]![Start Date]
Is there something new I should be using to get that to pull in?
When I try to import from a spreadsheet, Access crashes. No errors, no error log entry. At first I thought it was because my file was password protected, so I tried a new file with no password, but it still crashes Access.:confused:

how do i get the current record form access 2003 to merge the data into word 2003 template that I created.
The code I'm using is :-
Private Sub Command313_Click()

Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
strDocName = "K:Supported Living ServicesdatabaseDB-Personnel.dot"

A textbox on a form is displaying the numeric ID value that is linked to the ID in another table (which has another field which holds the text value that I want). How do I show the actual text value that the ID relates to?

Moving to new computer, both under Win XP pro, Access 2003. New computer is MacBook Air running Parallels. Transferred Access database via an external hard drive. Now the data shows up as Read Only. Is there a procedure to run down the cause and make the data accessible?

I have created a form to summarize sales data for the past two years. The form uses a tab control with 12 tabs(By Region, Country, State, SalesRep, etc.). Each tab has its own subform link to its own query(Each query has two subqueries so that I can get percent difference). The subforms also have total fields at the bottom in the footer. The sales data comes out of two differnt tables so I can compare this year to last year. My problem is speed. It takes about 35 seconds for the form to open. Is there a smarter way to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I have a problem which should have a relatively simple solution, I just cannot find it.
Please accept my apologies if this is in the incorrect forum, I wasn't sure whether to place it in the 'Reports' forum but I figured that my question was to do with the results of a query so I put it in here.
I have a select query which gives me the following results:
Company_Name Staff_FirstName Staff_Surname Staff_DOB
ABC Ltd Joanne Robinson 08/12/1950
DEF Ltd Kevin Smith 25/04/1963
ABC Ltd Paul Jones 08/06/1947
DEF Ltd Lisa White 12/09/1965
.... .... .... ....
etc etc etc etc
Apologies for the layout of the above query, it doesn't look like this when I am editing my post :-)
The field 'Company_Name' comes from the table 'tblCompany' and the fields 'Staff_FirstName', Staff_Surname' and Staff_DOB' come from the table 'tblStaff'.
I want to get a report for each company showing the company name and then underneath the details for each staff member for that particular company.
In the report footer I want to show number of companies and number of staff members overall.
How am I able to do this? I am using the count function on the report to count staff numbers, but I cannot get it to count the unique company name because of the data redundancy. Please remember that the 'CompanyID' field is hidden on the query, but this has no bearing on the data duplication.
I have thought about creating a query based on the above query and just select the 'CompanyID' and 'Company_Name' fields and then use the SELECT DISTINCT function and use the 'Count' feature on my report. This, however, would involve me having to have multiple Record Sources for my main report. I have also thought about creating a subreport on my main report and putting the RecordSource for the subreport as the new query and then somehow linking the two reports.
Thanks for any help it is much appreciated.

Hi All,
I am learning heaps and constantly wrestling with access, this is a good thing. However at the moment i recently added tabs to my form to restructure the appearance and content and thus far i am happy and its working fine. Except that moving the mouse cursor accross the from causes controls and textboxes to flicker / refresh. I find this annoying and given all the effort going into the presentation of the application i have done.
Is there anyway to eleviate this, is there something i have done wrong perhaps.
I wish to host various controls and inputs from other tables on the other tabs. Will this complicate things or should 1 form with its Tab controls be particular to 1 table........ or can / should a form serve as an input or display to several tables? Is this a bad database practice?
thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.
Hi,
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
Me.cmbTable.SetFocus
searchSQL = "select * from ENGINEERS INNER JOIN TEL_CABLING ON ENGINEERS.EngID = TEL_CABLING.EngID where " & Me.cmbTable.Text & "."
Me.cmbAttribute.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.cmbAttribute.Text
Me.txtCondition.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.txtCondition.Text
Me.subfrmTest.Form.RecordSource = searchSQL
Me.subfrmTest.Form.Requery
End Sub
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.

I am new to ACCESS, I have some experience with SQL, VBA and RDBD having been trained by ORACLE
The attached tables come from a RB I am making, I can run the SQL and it works, I have failed to create form or report tha enables users to simple use a button to invoke that code.
Several people have sent answers but I have not made them work, the tutorials that I have looked do not explain with simple examples that I can follow.
I am using Access 2003 and I am having trouble with a Combo Box on a form.
I had a combo box (based on a table), storing the choice in a field in the query and underlying table the form is based on. Everything was working fine, until... I altered the form based on a query. Now when you make a choice from the drop down list you get an error bell and nothing happens.

I have a rather complex form with an ODBC connection to data that takes some time to load.
The Form has a continuous subform I am using in place of a listbox to select records (I need more functionality than a listbox)
The Form's Record Source is a query
When the form opens, I does so in pieces as it populates
I'd like to either keep the form hidden until it completely loads
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.
Hi,
My database has 4 tables. Table 1 is assembly line 1 data. Table 2 is the sizes for assembly line 1. Table 3 is assembly line 3 data. Table 4 is the sizes for assembly line 2.
The table data comes from another program - they are reimported regularly and so I cannot change, add or delete fields from these 4 tables.
I have to change tables 2 and 4 to crosstab queries and then create 2 queries that join 1+2, 3+4. That's easy enough, no problem.
But then I have to UNION queries 1+2. While 95% of the fields are the same, the most crucial are not - the sizes. Assembly line 1 has 5 less sizes than assembly line 2. I need ALL of the sizes to show in the combined query.
I need to add these 5 fields without adding them to the tables. I did manage to create a crosstab query that included the missing sizes, but now I have a 1 in those fields where I need a NULL or Zero value.
Does that make sense? Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

I'm supporting some Access/VBA code which includes the following behavior:
When an update is made in a (linked) child form, the current date/time is written to a textbox on the main form via
Me.Parent!txtMod = Now
Likewise, the BeforeUpdate event of the main form updates the same field (and then does a bunch of form validity checks, possibly followed by a Save).
When we upgraded to Access 2003 from Access 2000, a problem erupted:
When the user returns to the main form (by clicking on any control outside the subform), the following message is issued: "This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it (etc.)..."
At this point the user must choose between "Save Record", "Copy to Clipboard" and "Drop Changes".
Conceptually, I see why this is happening (though I wonder why Access 2000 didn't flag it). The subform is the "other user". When the main form is returned to, it is "Dirty" (unsaved update), so the main form's BeforeUpdate event fires, and attempts to update the field again (Me.txtMod = Now). Since there is a pending change to the field, an error dialog pops up.
As a quick fix, I replaced the code in the subform with a flag ("Hey, I've been updated!"), which the main form checks on the Exit event of the subform control. But that seems a horrible solution. Surely there's a better way?
Notes:
1. It would be preferable to have the timestamp updated right away by the subform, though having it updated when the subform loses focus is better than nothing.
2. Since a subform is a control from the main form's perspective, I'm surprised that a change to that control doesn't render the main form "Dirty". I guess from a database standpoint it makes sense (the form's table isn't getting updated at all; just the subform's). But then, how does the main form know that the subform has been updated?
3. I tried catching the error via Form_Error. I can make the dialog not appear via "Response = acDataErrContinue", but unfortunately it defaults to dropping the changes (old and new), rather than saving the new.

I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard.

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.
