Access Help (Lack There Of) Feature
Sep 23, 2006
Periodically, I use the Access (2000) Help Tab (as a last resort) to get an answer. In certain situations I get the message "Selection not associated with any topics." For example, this happens when I look up in Methods Reference either "Connection (ADO)" or"Fields (DAO)".
I assume that this issue may be caused by not having a reference file checked under Tools in the VB window. Specifically references to DAO and ADO help files. I Have the "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library" and "Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library" checked. Also based on Allan Brown's (http://allenbrowne.com/tips.html) website, I do not appear to be missing any references. Obviously something is missing. Any thoughts?

I have a form whose fields are calculated based off VBA code, including fuctions, SQL, etc. Because of the nature of my form, I cannot save the calculations to a table before exporting to and excel spreadsheet.
When I use the File>Export feature of Access and save to and Excel format, I am not able to change the format of my numbers in Excel. For example, I have tried to highlight some of my exported numbers, right-click, and change the format to currency in Excel (or even decimal places). In order for excel to change the format, I have to select the cell, place my cursor in the edit window, and hit enter.....then the format will change.....is there any way to avoid this?
Please let me know if this isn't clear, and I'll attempt to explain it better.

Not sure the title is the best way to describe my problem. lolWell i have only been working on Access for a few months. The database i am working on keeps track when employee have been trained in a certain SOP document. I have a table for employees names and info, a table for SOP names and info, and a look up table that includes both employee and SOP with the date that they have been trained. Is it possible to create a report that would display what they did not train yet? Forgive me if its a stupid question and any help would be great. Thanks for your time.Aloha

Does anyone know where the Compact and Repair feature is to be found in Access 2007? It was on the Tools menu in Access 2003, but I can't find it in 2007!
Thanks,
Gary

I have built a rather extensive database using Access 2000. When I install it on an Access 2003-enabled machine, the first time it is opened, the user is presented with the following errorbox:
"An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?"
At this point, clicking "Yes" results in an update the installation of Access 2003. Then the database must be opened manually again. Then, the following is displayed:
"Module not found."
Closing the database at this point and then opening it again results in a normally functioning database.
I have several questions:
1) What is the feature that is no longer functioning properly?
2) What is updated when the installation exec runs?
3) What module is not found? I assume this is one of the VBA modules that I've created, but I've check all 62 of them and they all seem to be there available.
4) My first guess was a reference problem, but I've checked the references used and all are available, as far as I can tell. These are the ones that I have referenced: VBE6.DLL, MSACC9.OLB, DAO360.DLL, STDOLE2.TLB, MSCAL.OCX, MSADO25.TLB, MSO9.DLL.
5) After getting the first error - the one about nonfunctioning feature, I clicked "no" to the repair now question. This does nothing except the database remains open. At this point, I opened the code and tried to compile, but I get the "module not found error". I likewise tried to set a breakpoint in one of the first modules and I get the same result.
6) I even tried to copy the forms, queries, tables, and reports into a blank database with no references and no other extraneous code and received the same result.
This site has been extremely helpful in the past and I am really relying on you guys again for the same stupendous help now.
Forever in your debt,
Tom

I'm trying to establish a ticket/citation database for a college security office at which i work at. I have two tables, table 1 includes the ticket information (date of ticket, citation number, *tag #, amount etc.), table 2 includes Repeted offenders information such as (name, address, city, zip, phone number, student ID# etc.).
I would like to have a table or query(preferably table) which automatically matches tag#'s to student information as soon as a new ticket is entered, *if the student information is available.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, I want my user to be able to "cancel" his entry. At first I tried just deleting the record they were working on. But that added numbers in the auto number "ID" field, and I also needed the feature for editing, so deleting wasn't an option. As of now I have something that works, but is kind of messy. I made a mirror "temp table" that I write the record to. If they "save" i append/update the record to the regular table, then delete it from the temp, if they "cancel" I just Delete it from the temp. Was wondering if there was a cleaner way to do this ?

Hi
After looking through the forums, i couldn' really see the answer i was looking for.
I have a form, that users can enter in details (with an auto-number created which is assigned to each record). Once they have entered the detials, theres a 'save' button which will save the record - which is fine. I also have a 'return' button which should return to the previous form and doesnt save the record. But as it stands, the record is saved when i click this return button. How do i make it so that the record isnt saved untill the save button is clicked? so if i return from the screen (pressing the return button), the record isnt saved (i.e. a cancel button).
Thanks in advance :)

I would like to add a zoom feature to a form. If I size the window down to the point where it cuts off some of the fields, I enabled the vertical and horizontal scroll bars for the user to navigate throughout the form to see everything they need to. However, is there a way to size the contents in the form down, in other words, zoom out so even if I size the window down, I can see everything in the now smaller window?

Hey all, I have a strange problem that I can't seem to find the solution for...
At my work we have a number of computers running W2k with Office 97.
We daily have to import excel spreadsheets into Access.
This is never usually a problem as obviously as soon as you click import the import spreadsheet wizard appears.
But on one particular machine it doesn't.
Basically on this computer Access will import the excel file, but won't bring up the wizard that lets you say what to import, whether the first row contains a header, the data type for each field etc, it just asks you to select what sheet you want, then imports it, no options.
Now the ironic thing is that usually this is not a problem as the file is still imported without any problems, but the other day we had a file that once imported was all messed up, all fields all over the place.
When done again on a different computer there were no problems so I'm assuming that this peculiar way of importing is to blame for messing up the data.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this? I have tried dragging the accwiz.dll over the regsvr32.exe and it says it's registered successfully, and I have checked that it is the correct version number, what am I missing?
It would make more sense if it just didn't import, then you could better understand how to fix it, but it's the fact that it does import, just not in the 'usual' way that bothers me. How can I make it bring up the proper import spreadsheet wizard?
Kind Regards

I need to implement a Quick search feature in my employee application.
So that when any text is typed into the textbox, it searches the db for a match:
e.g.
firstname
lastname
ss#
employeeId
deptId
officelocation
deptname
It returns the record in the employee table that consist of the text typed in the search box. Most websites have this quick search feature (blanket search..is that what it's called?) and a link for advanced search, where they can select specific fields to search.

I was trying to incorporate the changes suggested by a member of this forum into my Form. I opened the Form in Design View. I clicked the Command Button and placed the mouse at the insertion point. The command button also appeared. Thereafter, nothing happened. Earlier, whenever I placed a command button, it asked for action to be performed in relation to that command button. But now nothing happens and I don't know what to do. Please tell me how I can bring back the feature.
Thanks.

I have a web database that I am trying to create a search feature for just 2 of the fields. The search is for a certain date and also a shop are the 2 fields I would like to have the search run for.
Once the search has been run I would like to generate it into a report.
I have already created the report/ form and the query. I am not sure where I need to go from here. I have created the from with the date and also a combo box for the list of the shops and then a button that says search that will go to the report. I just need it to show all the particular items that show the date and or shop. If you leave them both blank it will run a report and show everything. Then if you just put a date in it will run a report with just that date or the same with the shop.

I have a subform containing maintenance logs for pieces of equipment, viewed as a Datasheet.
I have a field called Comment accepting text. Since comments are similar, it would be nice to have a drop down list so the user can select what was previously typed in other records and then edit it from there, similar to how Google or search engines in its search text box generates as part of its suggestion list the previous searches after typing in the first few matching characters.
I tried looking through, but is there a property that does this?

I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.
It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.
Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.
What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.
Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.

I am working with the Access Treeview feature and I'd like to align the different elements in my nodes exactly below each other.
Therefore I need exact distances (if string is longer then XY, cut short, if shorter, extend to XY).
Of course I cannot work with len() and fill with spaces because letters have different widths.
Is there a way to determine the exact width of a string? e.g. in pixels?

I have set up an ACCESS database of journal articles. Each article has one or more authors. I have created a form listing the article title, the name of the journal etc. Included is a subform listing each of the authors. The authors are listed in the order that their names appear in the article. I wrote a query to sort the articles alphabetically according the name of the first author (in the subform). The main form is based on this query so that all the articles are sorted according to the name of the first author. However, the query uses the “First” feature in the “Total” row on the query. The use of this feature precludes me from updating information in the form that is based on the query. Is there a way around this problem and if so what is it?

Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
Thanks in advance.

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.
