Automatically Updating Client Settings For Confirm Actions
Feb 27, 2014
how I can automatically change the Client settings either with a macro or code. Specifically for the three confirm actions (Record Changes, Document deletions and Action queries). I have a database that is distributed to end users in different offices around the world. The old way lazy way, was to go to each computer and set these settings to "off" manually, but this isn't possible. I want to be able to run delete queries and action queries in the back end without the end users knowing its happening and having to select yes all the time.
Test findings showed that when I open a form the data does not update. I added a refresh action after the openform action. If I want to open three forms via the macro, do I need three refresh actions, one after each openform action, or simply a single refresh action that would apply to all three forms.
I Have a main form called table one has 3 fields an autonumber as primary key and i have a subform called table 2 has 3 fields one an autonumber a primary key , second is an integer which is equal to table 1 primary key, and third is a text with default value set to N/A
i want when the user enter info in the main form and save it, the subform automatially add new record and save it with default settings..so far what s happening , that the related field in the subform to the main, is getting change but record is not getting save in the table 2
Brand new on here and desparate for some help and guidence.
So far with Access I have just used it as a store of addresses to mailshot prospective clients.
However, I now need a more complex database and this is where you might be able to help.
First things first, most of my clients are in universities. This means that I can be used by more than one person in more than one department at a university.
Does this mean I need to do three tables:
1/ "University Details" which gives the address details 2/ "Department" storing the departments of the unis we work for 3/ "Client" Name of the client(s) in that department.
I'm working on an MS Access inventory database for something similiar to a convenience store shop. All items are bought by the employer, therefore I don't have to worry about suppliers, not any customers. I just want to keep a running total of what's on the shelf, what's in storage, and be able to update what has been sold daily.
I've been using the Northwind sample database and modifying it as I go, but whenever I change the quantity in the order details on an orders form, the count for that product does not change. Any idea how I can automatically update the numeric value of a field in one table (products) by entering a numeric value for a field in another table (orders).
I'm fairly new to access and using access 2003. I have a main table and 3 other lookup tables. i have created the form using the main table. there are about ten fields. what i need is, when i select one field, another four fields should automatically update. is this possible? if it is possible how do i go about doing it?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks dem125
This may be a simple question, but I'm not sure what to even search for. I have a form with multiple subforms. All the subforms have related fields that are linked via relationships. But one subform has no fields in common with the parent form.
I need to be able to have the subform update itself whenever the record is changed on the parent form. I can't figure out which event procedure to use. It updates correctly if I assign my procedure to the form_click sub, and then click each time I want it updated, but that's a pain. I've tried on load, on data change, on activate, on data set change, and a couple others, but nothing works automatically.
How can I make the subform run a subroutine each time the parent form changes records?
I have a training database with multiple training codes. I would like to be able to update the training date for multiple codes. These trainings are normally completed at the same time and I want to be able to reduce data entry by auto updating the date of training for the employees for multiple codes automatically. How can I link certain codes together?
Using A2010, for some reason, whenever I created a new Access Object and save it, the Navigation Pane doesn't automatically update to list the new object. Same thing for if I delete an object. This only started happening about halfway into the process of creating this database. For now, I've been compacting and repairing the database to "refresh" the file and then the Navigation pane updates.
I am working on a database at my workplace. We have a list of available IP adresses that can be used for printers, not all of which are in use currently.
I have a table for the printers at each branch, and that printer's IP address.
I have an IP addresses table that contains all available IPs, a domain name field, and a yes/no field entitled "In Use?"
I want my IP address table to check my printer table, and put 'yes' in the "In Use?" field if the IP address exists in both tables, or a 'no' in the "In Use?" field if the IP address is not currently assigned to a printer.
Can this be done, and if so, how? Much appreciated, ~Mike
I am designing a form based on specific criteria from a table. I have one table "country/region" showing: Country, Region, and then primary numeric ID. I have another table called "contacts" with more info. What I am looking to do is create two combo boxes on the form, one for country and the other for region which will pull from the "country/region" table and feed into the "contacts" table". When the user writes in the specific country, the corresponding region in the combo box next to it should update automatically.
I'm still very new to Access.I have a form with subforms.Some of the fields are calculated fields.I cannot figure out what some of the fields will not update automatcally. Once I click out of the form and then back in, it will update.Tried many things like, Refresh, Requery both on the form and on the text box(es).I wish I could figure out how to attach my test database to show you.
How can I perform an action when ever the db closes… Basically I have a table, users, and when the db starts a logon form is used. Once the logon is successful it records into the user table that a user is logged in. I want to at the close of the db rewrite the record to show that the user is not logged in.
So say user A logs in successfully so then the users table would show Key | Name | password | logged date | currently logged on(these are the column headers) Somekey | user a | ***** | somedate | yes
I want to rewrite the yes to a no when the db closes and the user is currently not logged on. For the rewrite I can use a simple SQL statement to update the users table, the question is where would I place this code, the on close property for the switchboard is not enough, is there an on close property for the entire db.
About 2 years ago, I created a database (my first real one actually) which is extensively used. I havent had to maintain it too much in this time but I was looking at the live table data and noticed that the users are placing inappropriate entries in fields designed for other data such as listing the Company name where the last name of the person should appear and also they are using the first name field for the entire name of the person (lastname, firstname). Knowing this is an issue, I contacted the user who didnt seem to care as thats how they chose to use the database. Since Im the person who created it and Im ultimately responsible for it, I would like to prohibit these types of entries in the future. Does anyone know of a way to force integrity in an example such as what I outlined above? I thought about trying to prohibit the use of a comma in the form field, but then I suspect they would probably choose something else or nothing at all and we would be at the same point with no resolution. Im not trying to be a jerk, but the point of the DB is being tossed away because the users choose to be stupid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a report, which shows all unsold items for a particular auction date, and I have created a form using this report.
I'd like my sister in law, to be able to go through and easily select which items to relist, and which to return.
I've tried using a subform, but I've either not done it correctly, or its not quite the right tool for the job. I've tried listbox control but can't get it to work properly either.
Once she has gone through the list ticking one or the other, I'd like to be able to automate with a button "Relist" and a button "ReturnItem".
I'd like Items to be returned - to automitcally close item off so it no longer incurrs a weekly listing fee and change status to "ReturnToSeller" and the relist ones, to create a new entry line into the main item table, with replicated information, except it clears out the "lot number", as they enter that manually when the generate a new list for the next auction, my ID numbers remain current and unchanged but the tableID is automated to a new one which is my key number.
then on my invoice, I get for instance, 3 rows for one Item, which could have 3 different lot and ID numbers, and get a listing fee of £1.20 for each week you see.
How can I automate the actions to relist and Return to Seller?
Hi. I have a table used for years. I added new fields bringing number to 160. When I go to insert another row, I get message saying 'Row inserted in the grid exceeds limit of 255 rows for table or 1,000 rows (actions) for a macro.'
BUT as the number of records had not increased and I am under the 255 limit why the error message?
I tried in vain to copy and compact/repair the database, but still no luck.
Suppose I need a database with customers, able to store: what different events, were performed on what date.
So let's say possible actions are: a customer called, emailed or visited.
(note, it might be possible that a customer both called, emailed and visited on the same day)
Should I start with four different tables for: customers, called, emailed, visited? Or would the three actions just go into one table?
Another aspect that I don't understand at all yet is how to proceed with the dates.
Should I create another table with a long list of possible dates for the coming x-years?
I would like it to work:
I am thinking about creating a form with buttons behind the terms 'called', 'emailed' and 'visited'. When one of those buttons is pressed, I want an entry for that action, day and customer entered in the database.
So that later on I could e.g. look up on what day how many customers called, etc. etc.
How can I edit a query in SQL view to run multiple lines of SQL?
For example I can use the GUI to create a query, then in SQL view enter the following:
DELETE FROM Employees_copy;
which clears the Employees_copy table. Perfect. But what if I want to do this for mulitple tables in the same query eg for a second table Employees_copy_2 as well? I've tried
DELETE FROM Employees_copy DELETE FROM Employees_copy_2;
which gives a syntax error, as does
DELETE FROM Employees_copy, DELETE FROM Employees_copy_2;
I am having trouble figuring out the method to automatically update some fields in SubForm from 2 other SubForms.I have attached 2 pics, the first GradeEntry1 shows what the tblTopic_Class_Grade form looks like after I manually enter everything into it. GradeEntry2 is what the form looks like when I fill out the Form starting at the top.
I'd like the tblTopics_Class_Grade form auto-populate the TrainingClassID (it currently does this), TopicClassID, StudentID, TrainingTopicID based off the entry from the above forms.My end goal is that I need to have a grade for each student on each training topic for each class. Like:
I have a bug in Access. Despite having turned off the confirm record changes (Tools>options>edit>Confirm) the prompt still appears in the app after it is converted to MDE and packaged for distribution.
My solution will be (if I can find it) to set the 'confirm record changes' setting to off in VBA code immediately prior to my update.
My problem is how to do it. I have looked everywhere without success.
I am automating a mail merge with Access to Word. Does anyone know how to stop the Confirm Data Source dialog window from coming up and just except the default (orginal) data source? I have users that do not know they should just click the OK button, some are clicking NO and then I lose the connection because they dont know where the table link is. I dont know what else to do but tell them to always click the Yes button when confirming but not everone listens and then i have to do it all over again.:mad:
I have "unchecked" all the confirm options under tools, but when I run the make table query it still displays "The existing table will be deleted before you run the query, do you wish to contiue? I would like it to just run without this message, or at least give a message of my choosing. Is this possible?
I would like to have an update (requery) button on my form, that when clicked opens a message box that asks "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO UPDATE?", if yes, a yes button is pushed, which requeries the record and closes the message box. If a no button is pushed, the message box is closed without requerying the record.
