Hello,
I'm working on a splash screen to spruce up the opening of one of several databases I've created. I hate for them to appear boring so I like to add a bit of color at the beginning, a la Northwind's.
I haven't found anthing on this yet so I thougt I'd ask...
How can I have a sound I've downloaded from clipart or somewhere, PLAY when the form opens or loads or whatever...
Thanks in advance!

I am wondering if when i run my report is there anyway that the detail of the report can become objects that say i could drag and drop into a Word Doc for example. I am trying to create a tool that will allow me to see all jobs from our maintenance mangement system at work, i have managed to achieve this but i was wanting to be able to view the jobs on a report and then basically just drag them into something else and wahey i have built my plan for the week.
Maybe i am hoping for to much but i though i would ask anyway.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have been trying to improve a form used to add/edit names in a mailing list. What I want to do is check the database for possible duplicate names and alert the user to the fact that their new person may already be in the db.
I used the following VBA code in the After Update event as follows:
Private Sub txtLastName_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Dim strLastName As String
Dim NbrNames As Variant
Dim strNameSQL As String
txtLastName = Trim(txtLastName)
If Not Mid(txtLastName, 1, 1) = "=" Then
txtLastName = StrConv(txtLastName, vbProperCase)
Else
txtLastName = Mid(txtLastName, 2, 999)
End If
' Test for duplicate last name in data base
NbrNames = DCount("[tblMemberListings].[mlLastName]", "tblMemberListings", "[tblMemberListings].[mlLastName]= '" & txtLastName & " '")
If NbrNames > 0 Then
strNameSQL = "SELECT ALL tblMemberListings.mlID, tblMemberListings.mlLastName, tblMemberListings.mlFirstName, tblMemberListings.mlSpouseSO, tblMemberListings.mlAddress " & _
"FROM tblMemberListings " & _
"WHERE ((tblMemberListings.mlLastName) LIKE '" & txtLastName & "*') " & _
"ORDER BY tblMemberListings.mlLastName, tblMemberListings.mlFirstName, tblMemberListings.mlSpouseSO;"
lstDuplicateNames.RowSource = strNameSQL
Beep
lstDuplicateNames.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
This generates a useful list of potential persons already in the db. The user then has the choice of continuing to add the new name and address or they should be able to select one of the names in the listbox and refresh the form with that person's data for possible modification.
I currently have these two Event Procedures in place:
Private Sub lstDuplicateNames_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
'MsgBox "Sub lstDuplicateNames_Click value = " & lstDuplicateNames.Column(0)
If Not IsNull(lstDuplicateNames.Column(0)) Then
' User chooses and existing record
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[mlID] = " & lstDuplicateNames.Column(0)
If Not Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
Me.lstDuplicateNames.Visible = False
Me.Refresh
End If
End Sub
and
Private Sub lstDuplicateNames_Click()
Me.txtHidden.SetFocus
Me.lstDuplicateNames.Visible = False
End Sub
The problem is that when one clicks on one of the listed names just two things happen:
1 - a fine dotted box outline appears around the *first* record in the listbox
2 - the MS Exclamation wav sound is generated each time the mouse button is clicked. :confused:
Short of enrolling in a local junior college that offers Access 101 what can I do to get this addition working? I'm also not sure that my code to refresh the form is going to work, but right now I don't ever get there. ;)
Oh, this problem is occurring in MS Access 2000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated by this NOOB.

I have to tables:
Table 1 contains "cases picked"
Table 2 contains "cases required"
i have a query with info populated from those 2 tables:field "results" shows the results of this calculation: "cases required"-"cases picked"="results".In this query I have a conditional format stating: If true, displays text "ok" and the field will be green, if false, displays text "alert" and the field will be red.
Then I have this query in a subform (a form within another form),I would like to have a code or a formula for this query, where it would play a sound if (and only in this case) the value of "cases picked" is bigger than the value in "cases required"
This is how it works, you open the main form, start using a barcode scanner to scan cases, everytime you scan each case, the subform is refreshed and adds cases, and shows results, and shows how many cases you are missing or how many cases you are over, but this is only in the screen, i would like to have a sound in this subform, so in case you pick more cases than required, a loud sound is played as an alert, i still can't figure out where to put the solution, if as a formula in the query, or a code in the subform.
I'd like to make noise to another computer, or start same sound file or simply to call another computer on lan or through vpn connected computer using vba...
That will be nice if I can press button on access form and user on another computer hear some noise or to loo like it is call
Is it possible to play any kind of sound file from Access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedNothing else to explain really. How can I get my database to make a beep sound when something is trying to be typed into a locked textbox control?
This is so that my users can know that it's locked (much like when the delete button is pressed on a new record).
I am trying to open a form in design mode and add controls, this i have done. I am doing this all in a class, and am having trouble saving the modified form.
I have tried using the following, both produce errors
Code:
DoCmd.Save acForm, "tmpQueryDes"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "tmpQueryDes", acSaveYes
I have a database with three tables
table 1 (form1)
reference (PK) auto number
table 2 (form2)
Reference (fK)
workbook reference (PK) auto number
Table 3 (sub form within in form2)
Reference (FK)
workbook reference (fK)
data Reference (pk) auto number
Each table is a form that is linked via the keys. On form 1 i have a button that is to open the form2, which it does but every time i open the form a new record is added. Why and how do i prevent this.
Then what i want to do is add a button for a new form on table 2 form but use the same reference as the record as presently displayed. How do i add new record using the same Reference but new workbook Reference?
Thanks is advance
I am using a database prepared by someone. But it seems that when i try to add data to a form I am not able to do that. Neither can I edit it. For both these purposes I need to use the table . i.e for adding records and for editing too.
Is it possible anyway that I can change the record in form it changes in the table as well. or I will have to work with tables all the time
Regards

Hi,
how can I update the form with all the data of the table after modifying the form if it doesnot contain any data.
I am using a Microsoft Access Form and would like to add some new fields and have no idea where to start. Any step-by-step help would be greatly appreciated.
I am an amateur and would need step by step so minute details would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have a number of tables all with there corresponding forms. I am needing to have a command button on the form for the user to easily add a new record. Obviously this is easy by just using the wizard but my problem is that I need the record to be added over all the tables.
This is an attendance database with tables for each month. So when a new member of staff joins and there record is added for that particular month I would like it to be added to all subsequent tables as well. Is there a way of doing this. It would also be beneficial if a similar thing could be done for deleting staff (i.e. a staff member is deleted from one table and subsequently is removed from the other tables)
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Hello all,
i am making a form to process ordering within my membership system,
i would like to add what i believe is called a subform or table of somesort, which is all connected to the same table i am using, but i would like it to appear in hte table format so that i can add more than one product that my client is buying.
the attachment i have shows what i have so far, the product information on the left is what i would like to be in the table area.
Hey everyone... got a little problem, i have the followinf form/subform setup show in the screenshot below, for ages the calendar conrol there has worked fine, its control source is the date field on the left habd side.
Now however, it doesnt work, or rather it works when your editing old records, it changes the dates fine, but when you go to enter a new record in, you cannot use the calendar, it just makes the windows error sound at me. And i cant type the date in either, and i cant type into any of the other fields either, but i can edit the old ones fine....
Of course i can just go into the original table that the form runs off and type new data in there, but thats not the point, i need to be able to use this form. It worked before, but i opened it today and its screwed sideways, lol
any help from anyon would be great, dragon

I have a form, created from a query. The query contains and links about six tables using an AutoNumber ID. The query also has fields from each of these tables.
OK, so when users enter their data into this form, I would like the autoincremented number to increase in each of these tables. The catch is that when the user enters data, he/she does not have to enter data into every field. Therefore, not every table will contain information. But there will be times later on that some of that information will become available and will need to be placed on the appropriate spot (based on the ID number.)
So, some of my tables do not auto-increment and some do. How should I go about resolving this so that when someone enters new data, each table's ID is autoincremented no matter if that table contains information immediately or not? Please Help.:confused:
Thank you.
