Ambiguous Name Detected
Nov 2, 2007
I downloaded a sample DB that someone had posted to the site and I’m trying to modify it for my use. I thought I had everything correct but when I go to the form and try to enter any data into any field I get a popup box “The expression Before Insert you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Ambiguous name detected: DocketNumber_BeforeUpdate. Would someone give this DB a look and tell me how to correct this problem. Thanks

Hello,
I have a form and subform linked by the ID field (AutoNumber) on the Form and Record ID field (Number) on the subform. I have the field size on the Record ID field set to Long Integer.
When the form is opened, a message pops up "The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'Ambiguous name detected: Add_client_info_Click' There was a macro set up with the name Add client info. However, that macro is not being used on either of these forms. I don't understand why this message is popping up.
Any ideas? I have checked each form, each form section and each field to make sure that macro didn't somehow get assigned, and I can't find it anywhere in relation to these 2 forms.
Thanks
Stacey

Please help!
I've done a search of the forums, the results of which have more-or-less caused me to understand (roughly) what the problem might be and how to locate the code which is causing it. Sadly, I am a bit of a Visual Basic virgin, and I am reluctant to wade right in because if I screw up this database I'll have decimated my company's advertising and marketing strategy (mailouts!).
I was trying to make a command button on a switchboard (which I have done before, but not recently) -- and was taking a bit of a trial-and-error approach. I wanted the button to result in the previewing of a set of mailing labels (which the user would susbsequently print after reviewing). One of my first attempts resulted in the button automatically printing, so I "cut" it, and several close-but-no-cigar attempts follwed, all of which I used the "cut" command to dispose of. The last attempt I made resulted in the following message:
"The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Ambiguous name detected: Bulletin_Board_labels_Click.
-The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
-There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro."
I "cut" the button I had just created and thought that might fix it. It didn't. I still got the above message whenever I tried to open either this switchboard or the main switchboard. I tried closing down Access and restarting it. Same message, same problem.
Below is the code from the switchboard in question -- the last few entries are the relevant ones: anything to do with "bulletin board" is stuff I was working on. As far as I can tell there are currently no duplicate queries, reports, macros, etc, named "Bulletin Board Labels" (theres is one query named "Bulletin Board Query", and one report named "Bulletin Board Mailout labels", and that's it.)
The code for the switchboard follows...
Please help me resolve this problem?
:confused:

This error message appears when trying to open an Access XP database:
"Microsoft Access has detected corruption in this file. To try to repair the
corruption first make a backup copy of the file. Then, on the Tools menu, point
to Database Utilities and click Compact and Repair Database..."
But when you try to do what it suggests, it does not work. Even if you hold down the shift key when opening it, the message appears. Anybody have any ideas?

Attached is a pdf of the query window showing the relationships and table structure; (sorry for the quality) the linkage is also permanent at the relationship window. I created a form (columnar) of Rooms; loaded a subform (columnar) of the projects; and then loaded the students (tabular) as a subform on the projects subform. The data entry is flawless; tabs through each field and form to form in sequence.
After entering several rooms data I tested it at the query level by loading the three tables: rooms, projects, and students, and the permanentely established linkage with junctions came in automatically. I thought I was home free--but when I run the query, I get zero records.
When I attempt various joins, thinking this will yeild all records from the many tables and their match, I get "ambiguous outer joins" and it says to run a separate query and add it to the SQL Statement?
Thanks for any help,
Almost funtional in Ann Arbor........
Oh, and thanks Pat Hartman for the tip on linkage -- although I may have screwed it up anyway.

I'm new to the Access SQL world but I have a fairly complicated query that needs to be written for a project I'm working on. I am having trouble grasping the join concepts in access. My Query so far is:
SELECT u.user_logon_tx, ur.aff_sec_role_id, r.sec_role_ds, c.sec_cls_ds, o.sec_obj_ds, ci.aff_sec_cls_id, ci.sec_cls_item_ds, IIf(p.perm_in Is Null,0,p.perm_in) AS perm
FROM aff_sec_cls_item AS ci, aff_sec_user AS u, aff_sec_role AS r, aff_sec_user_role AS ur, aff_sec_obj AS o, aff_sec_cls AS c, aff_sec_obj_item_role_perm p,
ci LEFT OUTER JOIN p ON ci.aff_sec_cls_item_id=p.aff_sec_cls_item_id
WHERE u.aff_sec_user_id=1
And ur.aff_sec_user_id=u.aff_sec_user_id
And ur.aff_sec_role_id=r.aff_sec_role_id
And o.aff_sec_obj_id=1155
And o.aff_sec_cls_id=ci.aff_sec_cls_id
And o.aff_sec_cls_id=c.aff_sec_cls_id
And ur.aff_sec_role_id=p.aff_sec_role_id
And o.aff_sec_cls_id=p.aff_sec_cls_id
And o.aff_sec_obj_id=p.aff_sec_obj_id;
I have gotten it to work by using just the tables I'm doing the outer join on but when I add everything else I get the Ambiguous Join error. I wish I was using Oracle Thanks for the help.

I have a database in which i am trying to create some forms in order to search for records. The database contains several tables. Some tables are linked using a compound key while others have a single PK. I created the search form which has different searching criteria. Once a user selects the criteria, they hit the search button (there are different buttons for each type of search) the button opens up a form to display all the data. The problem is that there are many tables to report on. I created a form with a subform. The tables associated with the main form are all being retrieved fine. however the subform doesn't seem to work. I created the subform using a query to select all the fields from the desired tables, i gave this query a criteria based on the main form so that the Id's would match. (ie. Main form ID = Firstable in subform.ID)
I got a blank sheet in the subform when i used the search. i presumed that my query was not pulling records because of the referential integrity rules. i went in and changed the relationship rules so that it would include all records from the first table and matching records from the second table. (middle option in the list when editing a relationship) I now get the following error when i try to run the query.
"The SQL statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a separate query that performs the first join and then include that query in your SQL statement."
Could someone please tell me what this means as the help is... how shall we say it.. written in true Microsoft Fashion.
And though it tells me how to fix it, i'm not really sure what it's telling me to do. I am using Access2003 But the Database is in an access 200 file format.
Thanks.

I'm an Oracle guy, not an access guy, so I need some help please. I have 2 questions at least.
I have this query:
SELECT tOrders.ID, tCustomers.[First Name], tCustomers.[Last Name], t_OrderDetails.Product_ID, tProducts.[Prod Desc], tProducts.Price, t_OrderDetails.Qty
FROM tYears INNER JOIN (tProducts INNER JOIN ((tMonths INNER JOIN (tCustomers INNER JOIN tOrders ON tCustomers.ID = tOrders.Customer_ID) ON tMonths.ID = tOrders.Month_ID) INNER JOIN t_OrderDetails ON (tOrders.ID = t_OrderDetails.ID) AND (tOrders.Month_ID = t_OrderDetails.Month_ID) AND (tOrders.Year_ID = t_OrderDetails.Year_ID)) ON (tProducts.ID = t_OrderDetails.Product_ID) AND (tProducts.Month_ID = t_OrderDetails.Month_ID) AND (tProducts.Year_ID = t_OrderDetails.Year_ID)) ON tYears.ID = tOrders.Year_ID
WHERE (((tYears.Year)=[Forms]![pYEAR-MONTH-rpt]![Year]) AND ((tMonths.Month)=[Forms]![pYEAR-MONTH-rpt]![Month]));
And I want every ROW in the tProducts table to show up for each record in t_OrderDetails. The Orders Table is tOrders and each detail row is in 't_OrderDetails'. I went into design view and changed the links from t_orderdetails to tproducts as follows in this screenshot:
http://www.halstedhome.com/images/temp/access_screenshot.jpg
I hope that image post works.
Anyway, in Oracle, I would just simply add (+) to each join column in tProducts but here the message states I must create a subquery and then include that query into the main query. How would I go about doing that?
Any ideas at all would be much appreciated. I'm doing a project for our church for free, and Access is all we have available to use. I've got too far now to turn back.
2nd Question is:
My ultimate goal, is to get this to work, and then to put the totals of each product in tProducts into it's own COLUMN on a report showing how much of something each customer ordered. There are only 4 to 8 products each month, so I hope to see something like:
Box of Food Special #1 Special #2 Special #3
George Jones 1 0 2 3
Dirk Smith 3 2 0 0
Tyler Jones 1 0 3 1
We need the sums to print in columns, not rows. I'm trying to get a loading manifest (for lack of better words) so the volunteers can see how much of each product the customer ordered. There will never (knock on wood) be more than 4 to 8 products ever.
Any ideas on how to do that?
Thanks for any help at all. I really appreciate it.
