Hi i was wondering if anybody could offer some help to a problem i don't know how to solve. Some Background; i have two tables that are indentical called 'Order' and 'TempOrder', the purpose of this is that one saves the records unless manually deleted later, whilst the other is designed to have its own form, which has a print button which also deletes the record. Now i can create the data entry form to save the details in order, however i also need it to save the details into temporder, which i just cant seem to do, as i do not know the code, it appears relatively simple just i cannot seem to do it, i have tried a macro to save the record into the 'tempOrder' table but this does not work, any help would be much apprieciated.
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 am creating a database. I have all my forms, queries, tables, reports just as I need them. However, I would like to have a command button on my switchboard that will pull from a query to feed to a Word document (that's actually a letter on my company letterhead). I know a Macro has to be involved with this, but again, I have little to no knowledge of Macros. Also, I would like to be prompted to enter a client ID number when I click on this command button (because I only want to print a letter for a new client, not all of them).
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
in the attached form i can select multiple image but my next and back button does not work ,also i want the path to the file shown above.to copy the name from there and paste it in the table,to write remarks.
For a project I am currently working on, I have to save the database I am producing onto a CD. The file works as it should when saved on to my computer and a USB but on the CD some of the forms do not work and a number of the VBA Sub-routines I have created are not functioning. When i say the forms are not working, I mean they can be opened in design view but not in form view.
I have tried coping the file a number of different ways, just using windows and Nero.
I have had some issues caused by users exiting the database entirely when they realise that they have entered something incorrectly; this in turn has caused problems re-opening the half finished record (the last step of the record creation is to allocate it a unique reference number, which is then used to re-open the record for editing on a point and click form) - now, this is entirely my fault for expecting users to clear up behind them or to exit properly.
So, I am making some changes - when the dashboard form opens it removes the database window close button. I have a separate close button which has the following code:
Code: Private Sub cmdGoodbye_Click() Do While Forms.Count > 0 DoCmd.CLOSE acForm, Forms(0).Name, acSaveNo Loop DoCmd.Quit End Sub
However, I would like to add a line to automatically save any records before closing each form - is this possible?
I have created Several Forms but I am not able to save any new records in them. When I click the add new button the records are added alright. but when I exit the form and reopen it all the new data added to the form is lost. I even tried the save button but that doesnt help. anyone has ideas what happening here..
I want to save a record with a command button. I am using RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord. Access gives me a prompt saying "You are about to update 1 record. Are you sure you want to update this record?"
Ok. So I have learned my lesson on saving images into an Access DB. Now I'm using VBA (another good learning experince) to save the images back to a folder. I have a code working that will save the images but I need it to also rename the images after saving.
The section "MyFile = OldFile" needs to reference the rsChild Attachment file name...

I need a way of saving a copy of an email in Access. I am using Outlook for an email client. I have heard I can create a command or procedure in Outlook that will open a window (combo box?) with case numbers linked to an existing Access database. By selecting the case number a copy of the opened email will be created that can later be accessed (no pun intended) through Access. Is this possible?
I have a large database with over a million entries. I am trying to filter certain years (04-12) and certain states (western US). After the two filters are on my entries are down to 328,000. Now, I want to save the 328,000 to a new database.
I have an Orders form (frmOrders) which has a subform (frmOrderDetails) detailing the individual order items. For example, there is one order which may consist of many items.
The problem I have experienced is that if someone completes frmOrderDetails first and then moves to frmOrders the records are not saved correctly. I know this is because the main form frmOrders has not been saved or had a field completed which would produce an OrderID which can be linked to frmOrderDetails.
Whilst I could say to users they must complete a certain field first, some will forget and I would like to protect against this.
Whilst the tab order will go to a field on frmOrders, is there a way of forcing users to complete this field before they enter frmOrderDetails.
Alternatively, is there a way of coding a command button to initiatve an OrderID.
I was just wondering if it's possible to save a form with all its settings and selections, and reload it later? So if a user is filling a form out with a few subforms which show a yes/no field in datasheet view, if they select a few options in the yes/no field and hit save, when they reload, it will bring up the form with everything they had selected when they hit save. I'd like to put Save and Load buttons on my form if it's possible.
On a form there is a sub form.On the form I can only cycle through the records that have been created since the last time the form was opened. I cannot cycle through all records. Is this normal for a form. I assume some code might change this behavior.
More importantly when I look at the sub form in datasheet view I notice the first field of each record is not displayed (saved?) unless it is the very last record created. (This field has a SQL statement as a row source). Is this normal - or are the last 2 paragraphs descriptions of the same thing?
Below is the code for exiting without saving. It works perfectly fine. I just want to know if I can change the MSGBOX message to something like "Are you sure you want to exit without saving?" instead of its default message - "Are you sure you want to delete this record? and also, right now, if I click NO when I am asked if I want to delete this record, it exit the form rather than staying in the same form. But how do I make it to STAY in the same form if I click NO.
Code: Private Sub Command24_Click() On Error GoTo Command24_Click_Err On Error Resume Next DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
I want to save an open form as a data access page. Is there any code to do this and bring me directly to the file location dialog or do I have to use the DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveAs command and then choose data access page from the dialog box?
Also, is there a way of saving a form as a data access page, without opening the form?
I'm working on an Access 2007 database and any changes I make to a form or control will not save. I click the save button, and try keyboard shortcuts but when I close the form I get a prompt "Do you want to save changes to <whatever>":
If I click "Yes" the changes still do not save and I when I close the form it starts the cycle over.If I click "No" the form closes and the changes are not saved (obviously).
There is no VBA in the project but I've still tried a recompile as suggested for older versions of Access but no luck. There are quite a few embedded macros but I'm not sure how they could be causing this.
I have one problem with subforms. I have one bound main form and two bound subforms: one subform is used to display existing records in datasheet view while another is used to enter new records in form view, but this latter subform for new records will not save automatically, nor will it save by using the me.refresh or me.dirty=true in the unload event of the subform control. The parent child relationship is intact. I can even see the primary key of the new row in the subform but it does not appear in the table that the subform is based on. This primary key adds by one automatically.
I have struggled and finally made work a combo box in the main form that finds existing records but also is able to add new records when the value entered is not on the list. Below is the code I used. I am not sure if this code is overriding Access's save ability of the subform?
Private Sub Combo316_AfterUpdate() Dim n As String gblvariable = cbobox Me.Requery
I have created a form with data pulled from tables and queries, I need a way to create a submit button and have it saved to a table I have created. and also clear the data from the form, also to give a warning if not all fields have been filled in. the Form is frmTM and the table that I need it sent to is Team Member Data.
I have a field on a form [vin] that is based on a table, except i changed control source to a Dlookup to pull the vin number in from another table so i wont have to type it when i enter the record. However, this field is not saving when i save the record. I cannot just make a relationship because we reuse the same vehicle numbers, when we sell van 1 with vin 123, and replace it with a new van with Vin 456, we still call it van 1, so the unique vin is the only way to distinguish the two.
