While in datasheet view, i enter a value in a text field, then
press the down arrow key. Access then places (on it's own
i might add), a value (from %$&$% thin air) which it must
believe i wanted to add.
The value seems to be a prediction of what should be
in the field, based on previous entries.
How do I stop such nonsense? Anybody.
I have an application set up as follows:
Live front end in one network folder, accessible by all users.
Development front end in another folder accessible only by myself (changes imported into Live as and when necessary).
Back end in another folder accessed by both front ends.
One of the tables contains orders made by various people. The way the data entry form is set up is that, once a person's ID has been entered, all previous orders are displayed in a sub form at the bottom of the screen.
I'm noticing that, if two people are entering new records into it via two different PCs, it sometimes happens that one person can see an inserted record, only for it to later vanish from both the form and the underlying table. There is no pattern to these 'disappearances', but it's obviously concerning.
Possibly more worrying is that, from time to time, all records for the person being updated are being lost, not just the most recent entries being made.
I have the database set to Record Level Locking. Can anyone suggest anything else I should be looking out for or should have done?
The only other thing I can think of is that I sometimes enter records from the development version, while it is open in development mode, with just the data entry form being out of design mode. Would that make a difference? If so, why?
I'm stumped here.:confused:
This one is very annoying...
i have a button that is supposed to update a record based on the record id. when i click the button, it not only updates the record, but it also creates a new record with just the default values i have set for the table. no other values are entered into the table. here is the code that is relevant to the problem:
Code:Dim DAOdb As Database Dim DAOrs As dao.Recordset Dim sSQL As String Set DAOdb = CurrentDb() sSQL = "Select * from StopwatchRecord where StopwatchRecord.ID=" & Me.hidID & ";" Set DAOrs = DAOdb.OpenRecordset(sSQL) With DAOrs .Edit .Fields("StartTime") = Me.StartTime.Value .Fields("EndTime") = Me.EndTime.Value .Fields("ElapsedTime") = Me.ElapsedTime.Value .Fields("Comments") = Me.Comments.Value .Update End With MsgBox "Record Saved" DAOrs.Close DAOdb.Close
Please help! this is driving me nuts
thanks

I am trying to issue multiple INSERT statements in a row - but it seems that only the first succeeds. If I put a 1-second delay between attempts, suddenly they all succeed (so I know the statements themselves are all valid, it's not a data issue).
These are all being issued in a loop from the same thread, so as far as I can see unless the data is being inserted asynchronously, I can't see any problem. If it is being done asynchronously - how are we supposed to know one INSERT succeeded and thus we can issue the next one?
Anyone have any idea why this might happen? I don't want to leave 'magic delays' in the code!
Hi All,
I have been searching and can't seem to find how to solve my problem. I have a sub form that allows adding new rows to a database. The detail contains a combobox and a few text fields. When I enter data everything works fine. However when I accidently tab into the next row (new blank row) and then try to get out of the form without adding a new row I get an error about "Index or Primary Key cannot be null" or something like that.
It is very frustrating because I can't exit the form until I add data to the new row and then leave without tabbing to much (thus creating another new row with no data).
How do I trap the new row and only allow the insert if it has data in it?
Thanks.
hello!
I'm wondering how would I, in Access, make a query that would let me do a UNION and then insert that data into a table?
Is there a way that I could achieve that in one(1) query?
I've tried with INTO, but I get an error.
(i'm using access 2000-2003)
thanks!
I am writing the following query to insert data in tblpostroom from another table. Both the tables have same field names like Date1,582,1810.Now If I run the following query then in the fields 582,1810 of tblpostroom , the data gets stored 582,1810 respectively for all the records. But in actual fields 582 and 1810 store different data.
Code:
INSERT INTO tblpostroom ( Date1, 582, 1810 )
SELECT Date1, 582, 1810
FROM Sheet1;
I have a subform which is created with textbox and some command button in the top of the window, so this will simulate like a Datagrid.
[URL]
This is how it looks my datagrid when it fills from a Query.

What I want is when I select a row from my subform, I want to Click the button "Cambiar", and get the value of the machine selected.

Hi,
There is a requirement for
1)Populating a datasheet in a subform with a querystring which is dynamically built in VBA.This querystring is constructed based on the search criteria fields selected by the user in the main form.How can this be immplemented?
2_To click/double click a record in the datasheet,extract data and populate textfields,comboboxes with it which are in the main form.How is this achieved?Also,I can't find click events in a datasheet.
Pls let me know.
Thanks,
Savita
:eek: Our office is planning to switch over to MS Office 2007 including Access 2007. I've just been looking into converting our Access 2003 databases to the new version. One thing I noticed about the datasheets appearing as subforms is that each field header/label/caption/column selector thingie has a dropdown menu. The down arrow of the dropdown menu takes up valuable realestate where the field name is being displayed.
Question:
Is there a way to turn off those individual datasheet dropdowns and get rid of the arrows so that the form doesn't have to be redesigned, due to increased column width considerations which the down arrows cause, just to display the full field labels as they always have been in Access 2003?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers!

I have been unable to get the Totals row in Access 2013 to calculate any values in Datasheet view. I can bring up the Totals Row to select a function
But when I click Sum (or Count or Minimum, etc), nothing happens:
It is a 100% local table, not SQL, not linked. The problem has been noted on two separate machines using Windows 7 x64 and Microsoft Access 2013.
When I highlight multiple records and choose delete, it only deletes 1 record.
Is it possible to delete more than one record at a time?
I have a question regarding copy-pasting the access headers. I want to copy paste Access headers from a design view from one acess file to another file in the same format. Currently I can only copy-paste them one by one. How to copy paste it column by column?
View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing Access 2010, I have a subform in datasheet view and I want to set the font size to 10pt. Setting font sizes for datasheet fields in the Format tab does not change the font size displayed.
I understand that the font size can be set using VBA (for example: Me.DatasheetFontHeight=10). Where do I put this code for it to work in a) a single datasheet b) all datasheets in the db?
I'm new to this.
Is there a way to make a Form Datasheet (including calculated cells) update the corresponding Table Datasheet?
I have recently been modifying an existing Access 2007 database, everything seems to be working correctly, except that the main table holding most of the data is acting strangely.
If opened in database view, it is completely blank - no column headers, no data. Record count is correct and I can step through/select records, but there's just nothing visible at all.
The data clearly still exists as it can still be viewed in forms / queries / reports.
Only thing I can think of is that I have deleted a bunch of outdated queries & reports and it's possible that one or more of them may be cross-referenced with the table in another query, but still can't see why that should be causing this problem.
I wonder how MS Access manage to show long list of records when we want to browse them in Datasheet view.
1 - Does it load limited amount of records on start-up and then load the remainder upon user interaction (scrolling for example)?
2 - Does it care about such things automatically or natively?
I have an access 2000 db. My users open the DB and I have it launch a simple “startup” form with various buttons for the most used features. I have one button that launches another form. The default view of the form is supposed to be in ‘datasheet’ view. However when I click the button it opens in ‘single form’ view.
What can I change on this vb code to allow it to launch in datasheet view instead of single form?

Hey guys.
Well this is a new on for me, the idea is this.
By using a datasheet view in a subform and a custom popup menu I can allow users to filter down to the records they wish to view, in whatever order they want, and then allow them to open/edit said records with a Double-Click Event.
Fact is there are so many ways that different departments wish to filter this works in theory and in a sample I have created. A search or filter form would be huge. This seems simpler.
Ok, all good in theory, I can restrict “new” and “edit” etc, but I can just see users resizing the datasheet view to something only brain dead users could do or hiding columns. <SHUDDER>
So my question is, can or is there some why that I can use the OnOpen or OnLoad event to re-size the datasheet to a default size? (Well the fields in the datasheet mainly) This would allow you average bi-polar user to mess and re-size until their coffee mugs run out and the next user doesn’t get left a mess. (Which would then force them to ring me!) <SHUDDER>
I hope this makes sense, I really hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Have a look at the sample database attached to get a better idea of what I mean.
Thanks :)
Exporting datasheet to word, how is this possible using vb. Actually, I do have a thread in Form forum. But, I think not a lot of people visit that place. Anyways, I have created bookmarked and used datavariable to export the data (by ansentry's help). But the only thing that it exports is just one selection on that datasheet, instead of all the chosen rows.
I am exhausted now after searching everywhere, and not finding a clue. How to resolve that situation. If there is an example that I can use, that would be gr8.
Thanks In Adv.
I have subforms that are datasheet view, if the user rearranges the coloumns, or resizes etc , I would like to save what they have done so it is as they left it next time they open up the screen.
This works fine with an mdb (all my forms are set to close acsaveNo).
However in an mde this doesn't work.
Can I get this to happen in and mde.
(A button that saves a layout change would be fine for my purpose)
Thanks

Is there any way you can specify the size of a datasheet?
Say the datasheet opens up with 600x800 size?
or 10cm x 15cm?
HI
i never needed help this much.
i worked on an access application for 1/2 year. Everything went fine. But now we wanted to start working with it, some older acces versions are acting weird.
I have a form that contains a subform datasheet, and the datasheet has a datasheetsubform aswell.
This works fine in 2003. De datasheet is displayed, and when you click on the plus, the other datasheet opens in the maindatasheet.
But in 2000, you dont see the plusjes.
It is a major issue that i fix that! can some help me to solve this?

Hi,
Is there a way to set the background color of a datasheet? I don't mean the color of the cells, but the datasheet itself outside of the rows/columns as shown below (dark grey color):

Thanks
I have a form and a datasheet subform in Access. A form has person info and datasheet subform has 4 fields: QuestionID, QuestionNumber, QuestionName and Answer fields. The Answer field is a dropdown field and has 3 items: Yes, No and N/A. If QuestionNumber from 3 to 6 the answer was Yes or No then lock the Answer field in Question 7. Any idea how to do it?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen you select the Data sheet View you display error messages in the Accounts Sub reports fields.
The database has been included as a reference:
