Arrgghh Now It Disappears In Form View!
Jun 28, 2006
I am making up how to create a database as I go along so I am sure some of the techniques I have used are a bit unconventional! However, I wanted to use data from 2 different tables as control sources, so changed the record source to a query that combined the two tables. I thought this was correct as I could then apply control sources from both tables to fields.
However, now when I click out of design view and into form view, the form/database dissapears. Does anyone know why & how I could resolve this?
Thanks!

I have a form that I can view in Design view and layout view just fine.
BUT --
If I just try to open the form in from view, it disappears somewhere even though it says it's open.
If I view it in Layout view first, then Form view, it shows.
I've removed any code behind to try and figure out what's going on but it still happens.

I have two related issues with reports. That is the data shows in report view and then disappears. The first is the simplest. I have a report that has a query recordsource and I calculate totals and populate the report in the OnLoad event using VBA code. This displays perfectly in "report view" and prints or exports fine. My issue is that after the print or export, the report has no data in my fields in "report view". It is like it is reloading the report without invoking the OnLoad event. When I close the report and re-open in report view, everything is fine again until I print.
The second issue is related. I have another report that is a bit more complicated. Due to the number of controls (I use many text boxes to display my calculations), I am using 3 subreports to get around the limitations in the number of controls. In report view, the report looks fine, but when I scroll down to the bottom and then back up, the text boxes in the subreport sections are empty. The parts of the report not in subreports is fine. By using "Msgboxes" in events, I discovered that when I scroll down, the subreports close, then re-open when I scroll back up. Again, due to an Access limitation of 22 inches per section, the I placed the subreports in the "report Header" section. It appears that my problem occurs when I scroll down to the "detail" section of the main report.

In Access 2010, I can't get a form to show up in Pop Up mode without it disappearing. Tried several solutions (most from this message board) with no luck, including:
Set Modal = no
Set Auto Resize = no
Set Auto Center = no
Set Border Style = dialog
There isn't any VBA set to run when the form opens, only on button clicks.I'm able to call out the form to open as acDialog in vba, but this blocks additional code I need to prepopulate the form.So far this happens on all forms I try to set as Pop Up.

For example if I open up the Access database on my left monitor, then move it to my right - whenever I switch from design to form mode the form disappears. Moving Access back over to the left monitor will not show the form. Minimizing all windows except Access won't show it either. If I switch to layout view, then form view it will show on the monitor I have Access up on - but if I go back to Design and then form it will disappear again.
If I move Access to the left monitor (in this example). open the form in design and then form view it pops up visible. Seems clear that it ties the opening position of the popup to the monitor Access was opened on.

After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte

I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.

Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?

See title :)
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?

Anybody ever heard of this before? I open a form, and it is empty, just a blank window. I open the same form in Design View, all appears well. :mad:

I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!

I have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
thanks

Hi, I am in the process of creating a new database - I am a bit new to this. I have a main form, which also contains two subforms. The record source of the main part of the form is 11 tables, and then each of the subforms is based on one table each (so there are 13 tables altogether).
Everything seems to be linked up ok, and when I add new information to the form (and the subforms), the information gets saved to the tables as it should be. However, I want to be able to view past records in the form view, so that users can regularly update past records using form view. I can't do this. Each time I open the form view, the thing at the botton left says 'record one of one.' THen if I put the curser in (for eg) the box called 'client name' and click on the search button, I get a message saying:
"you can't find or replace now, the fields are not searchable due to:
- the fields are controls;
- the fields have no data;
- there are no fields to search."
well I don't really know what that means. There is definately data in there somewhere, because I can view it in the table view, but I'd like to be able to view and update old records, and search, in the form view.
any tips?
thanks for helping

I created a database which was working well. I then added my data and it still seemed to be working well. Since then I have made quite a few other changes, but only to queries realting to the subform.
When I cycle through my main records the subform shows and displays all the info. But when I get to the end to add a new record, the subform disappears.
Any ideas as to what I've done?
Thanks

I inherited this database and I can't figure this out so I'm looking for some causes.
the database is in one .mdb file, the interface in another and links to the database via the linked table manager.
The tables aren't normalized, nor was there any attempt at relational integrity (Strike 1). Thats obvious
But what isn't so obvious is that data in fields just disappears, it'll get entered, verified and a couple weeks/months later, its just gone and no one claims responsibility for taking it out (and in 99% of cases, we wouldn't)
It is a multi user database but there are only 10 people in the office and I doubt more than 3 are ever connected at once. And most of the time is only one of us at a time based on our schedules.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to advise the bosses that we take the time to start over with sql server, normalize the tables and take better care of developing the forms (in .net)

In the form view of the db I have a bound box for an embedded ole object
I use it to embed Word documents for each db entry (The database is for works of art and the Word document is the description of each work of art which often contains Chinese Characters, hence the Word Document)
The box is set to show an icon (The Word Icon)
Upon entering the data and moving off the record, subsequent return to to the record sometimes shows that the icon is gone from the box, it is blank.
Clicking the blank box brings up the Word Document but then closing the Word Document and re-clicking the blank box dos not bring up the Word Document.
The standard message saying that the ole object is empty appears and all the data from the Word Document is lost.
this has only happened since moving to Office 2007. I upgraded the db to 2007 format and we are using Word 2007.
A Google of the symptoms doesn't bring any meaningful results, does anyone have any ideas?
I tried to keep this as short as possible (which wasn't easy) if you need more info just ask
Thanks

I have a calculated field in a form that calculates the amount due. When I open the form or the record and the record has an amount due of 0, then the field says "$0.00" for a second and then disappears. Any idea why this is so? This becomes a problem because $0.00 doesn't appear on any reports either. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,
MS Access 2000 sp3
When adding a new record to an order file, I have a default value on the ordnum field. It also has a format = "9999-999". The default value is "0603-".
When the user clicks on the new rec nav button, the form has the correct default in the ordnum field "0603-". However, when the user trys to key in the remaining 3 digit sequence number (.i.e. result 0603-123), the default value disappears as soon as the use startes to type the first character. The table source is a query that links the order table to the customer table via cust num. When i use only the order table as the form source, this works ok, no issues but i see this issue when i am using a query joining two tables.
Does anyone have any ideas why or how I can correct this?
Thanks!!

I am using Access 2010.
Whenever I come to a record that does not have any data in my subforms, then (as you can expect) my subform controls disappear.
My subforms have "Allow Additions" set to YES.
The subform tables are linked through a LEFT JOIN.
I would like the controls to stay visible even when there are no records in the subforms.
I tried to set the subforms ID to the main forms ID thinking that this will at least generate an autonumber to make the subforms controls visible, but it did not work

I have a calculated control on a form that is summing other controls and then a subtotal on a subform. This is access 2007
The calculated control does not display the value until I enter a value other then the default in all of the source controls. If I hit the "refresh" button, the value appears in the calculated control for a moment, then disappears.
I have set the default of the source controls to be 0, so none are null.
the calc control value does not stay until I put a value in the subform and its subtotal thus has a value

Is there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.

I have a main form (tsTimeSheetMain) which contains a sub form (tsTimeSheetDataNewSub) in data sheet view. When I click off one row onto another row in the sub form, it triggers this code:
Forms!tsTimeSheetMain!ProjectMonSum.Requery
i.e. it tries to requery the ProjectMonSum field (on the main form) which is a dsum calculated field. This works fine and updates the ProjectMonSum field (which dsums values from the same datasource as the subform.
However, this seems to put the cursor back to the top left field in the subform (datasheet view), rather than leave it in the field I click on (in the subform).
Why is this happening and what is a decent workaround this issue? I just want to update the calculated dsum field each time you update values in the subform.
