Auto complete was working with a combo box. After adding much functionality
to a database I find that auto complete does not work on any combobox in any
form. So I create a blank database and a simple test shows that auto complete
works. When a form from the faulty database is imported in the test database,
auto complete stops working on the test form. Even if the imported faulty
form is removed, auto complete still does not work.
I tried creating a new database and importing the faulty form after removing
all controls and events from the form except for the combo box. Auto complete
still stops working. Not only on the imported form but also on the existing
form which works prior to the import.
I checked auto expand and it is 'Yes' in all conditions.
What ever is causing the problem on the faulty form seems to cause some
property of the database to change.
Is there some database option or property setting that controls auto complete?
Is is possible that importing a form will cause a database property to change?
I made some minor changes in my data entry form, the table and the query form. I believe they are all consistent. But now my query comes up empty no matter which parameters I choose. How do I figure out what went wrong?
I have a burron to run a query that auto populates 'start time' with NOW(). It has worked for 3 years and now I get an error message see attached. The only thing I did was change the program fromm 2000 to 2002.
I have the following to code to let the user select a file.. It worked before but suddenly stopped working...I remember adding some reference but I dont remember exactly the name of the reference..
After I did this, I converted the database from 2000 - 2002/2003 ..back and forth...I did not change/remove any references.
I have access 2003 but my database is in 2000 format because my teammates have 2000.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I am calling a continous form from a combo box on another form. The code below used to warn me that there were no records and shut the form down to avoid showing a blank form.
Private Sub Form_Load()
If IsNull(Me.TxtUnit) Then MsgBox "There are no operations recorded for this Unit", vbOKOnly, "No Recorded Operations" DoCmd.Close End If
End Sub
All was working fine until I changed the properties of the continous form to "Allow Additions = No" to remove the spare blank line at the bottom of the records (just for neatness really). Now, if there are no records to display, the Me.TxtUnit is not Null anymore. It does not seem to exist. If I hover the mouse over it (in VBA) I get no response at all.
Access 2013 stops working when I open any table in design mode, and select any field with the type "Number". I can edit Text, Date or Yes/No fields, but not Number ones.
I am new to Access, I know I couold do this easily in other DBs using a dependant relationship... but I can't get a handle on it here.
I have Client, a State and Coutry tables. What I want to do is assign a Country to a State (in the State table?) and then when I choose a State in the Client table, the Coutry field is completed automatically.
EmployeeID-----Full name AD------------- --Alison Doody AM---------------Ape Monkey PT----------------Pet Tepee
etc etc
In a form i want to be able to select the Employee ID and then next to it in another box the full name appears.
I've looked at other auto complete post, but nothing seems to match what i want to do. Can anyone help?
[for those of you who read the extremely BIG writing in the last post of the same as above, i apologise!! My PC decided to have a hissy fit just as i hit the submit button :mad: :o ]
I have a table witch hold a reference number in one field, house number in another and street in another field. I need to create a form that when the refernce number is entered by the operator the house number and street are automatically entered in the other fields. I'm not sure how to go about it can any one help.
Does anyone know if it is possable to get access to complete some fields based on data you have already entered? For example, if there were 2 fields 'title' and 'sex', is it possable to set the database up so that when you select Mr, the next field automaticly enters male?
I'm using cascading combo boxes with sql in each subsequent combo similar to:
SELECT DISTINCT [incidentnavigation].[type] FROM incidentnavigation WHERE [incidentnavigation].[involved]=cboincidentinvolved And [incidentnavigation].[person]=cbowho ORDER BY [Type];
If the result of the query is one line, i.e. click arrow and there's only one choice, can I get access to auto-fill in the box?
I tried an excel kind of if(count(query=1) then etc and it doesn't like it.
Hi, I'm trying to create a table which needs some feilds to be automatically filled up when the control goes to it. Say my table has feilds, "size" and "result". In each row, the result cell should be filled up corresponding to the size value of that row. This needs to be looked up from an existing table.
I have created 2 tables, one for direct customers and one for indirect customers. (I consider indirect a customers customer). The 2nd table has a field that links every indirect customer to a direct one. I also have a table for inserting credit notes. The credit note is either for a direct or an indirect customer. I am using a form for this one. So the form has 2 fields, one for each kind of customer. If the customer is direct, i only insert the direct customer field. If its an indirect customer i insert the indirect customer field. What i want is to create a combo box that when choosing an indirect customer, to display the linked direct customer and to save it to the direct customer field.
I have combo boxes set up with the different choices for major, minor, year, etc. Is it possible for these fields to have an autocomplete option? For example, there are about 30 different subjects that students can choose for a major, so rather than having to look for it in the drop down menu, could the person entering the data just start typing "ant" and have it automatically fill with "anthropology" for example?
I should also mention that the reason I made these fields into combo boxes is because I built SQL in the row source so that it is bound to the primary key but displays the description instead (with the column widths set to 0; 1).
I am building a database to store student assessment information. I have a table with student information, a table with teacher information, and tables which will store the student's scores on a certain assessments.
Q1: I have a field in the assessment table for Teacher ID and Student ID which are linked to their respective tables. What I want to do is create a form for inputting the assessment data but the fields for teacher ID and Student ID to auto-complete or be combo boxes, I don't care which. That is, when a person is entering a student's scores, and go to enter their ID, they won't have to type the whole number out and hope they dont make any mistakes, they will essentially have a list of choices to choose from. Or as they type, the corresponding number will filter down. I already have refferential integrity on so that they can't enter an invalid ID in either field but I want them to have the choice.
Q2: In an assessments table, there is a 1-1 correspondence btw student ID's because only one student can have one score on a particular assessment. However, clearly one teacher can be tagged to several student's assessment scores. Any better way to tag the teacher to multiple student's scores without having fields in the assessment table for teacher ID which is repeated multiple times.
I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.
It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.
Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.
What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.
Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.
Any ideas why combo boxes that all have their "auto expand" option set to YES are not auto expanding as I type-in text? They were working last week and I have no idea why they're not working now. Strangely, if I type in any of the entries present in the combobox list (text such as "St. Louis City") exactly as it appears in the combobox list, and then press enter, I get an error message telling me the value is invalid. Then, if I use the drop-down list to find and select "St. Louis City", it allows me to enter this value.
I am thinking about creating a DB using Access for a business. However, my wife mentioned to me that her company is looking at software for database work and has some Access DB's they are trying to convert because, according to a technical support person, Microsoft intends on getting rid of Access as a DB! I am posting here to ask anyone, professional or otherwise, if anyone has heard that Microsoft intends to stop supporting or implementing Access. Is Access 2003 the last version? I haven't been able to find out anything along this line. I thought, maybe Microsoft is thinking about supplanting Access with SQL Server. Before I go to the toil of building a DB system in Access, I want to know I am not wasting my time doing it. If anyone on this forum has heard a thing about Microsoft dumping Access, please let me know. Thank you. :o
Dear All, I prepared times ago a database that contains important data that will be frequently updated. Since yesterday I cannot load the database anymore. I get a pop-up with following statement: Quote The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time Unquote If I click ok, the loading process will be aborted. I'm the only user of this database, neither the database nor the directory containing the database is sharable. It is located on the harddisk of my computer which nobody from outside can access. What can I do to recover the access to my database?
I use MS Office 2003 but tried to open the database also on MS Office 2000 with the same result. The Help function of MS-Access does not really help. Who knows how to solve the probleem???? With regards Siegfried
I've been using code similar to that below to send an alert from a pc triggering the event from my database. I used to get the pop up warning giving the user the choice to cancel the email in case it was a hoax but now get an error message stating. "Microsoft Access can't send a message for the reason stated in the preceding alert"
There is no preceding alert and the email no longer sends. has anyone managed to solve this problem?
What the hell is MS doing?

Hello, I've searched MSFT, this forum and Googled it with no success. My first post, I hope this is correct section.
Sometime in past few days Access Documenter will only display object name regardless of what properties are selected in the Options menu. Selections always default to back to "Nothing" after trying viewing. It is not related to any specific.MDB file. Have tried with more than 12.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Access and Office. Did not correct the problem.
When using Documenter (located on another computer on the network) for the same database(s) it works fine. So it is machine specific. Running XP with all current updates and Office 2003 with SP2.
Any help or suggestions willl be greatly appreciated.
My department has customer database using microsoft access with the main table being a linked table to SQL-Server database down in IT department.
I've only been recently made aware that the staffs have been having problem when trying to change or delete old data. It keeps on bringing up the error message
The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time. which is hardly the case since each staff are assigned only one customer to work on.
While it is technically possible to have many people working on the same data, business wise, it is impossible to do that.
I still come up with the same error even when the IT department confirms that no one accessing the SQL-Server table and I was the only one logged in.
This leads me to believe that there is something in the code that somehow preventing the table being edited or deleted. The problem is the database is so huge and was designed by my predecessor so I do not have any knowledge of the complete working of the codes behind it.
If it's the problem with the code, can anyone tell me what sort of codes caused this? If not, can anyone tell me what happened?
