I was about to post this question in Access FAQs under the following thread but it's not allowed. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=136543
I downloaded the Access 2003 VBA reference from the MS website. When it runs on my computer (XP professional), it will pop up a message box indicating a script error (snapshot attached), and made the reference contents incomplete. Has anybody experienced the same problem before and how did you fix it? Thanks.
I am using Access 2003 on a vista Business machine and i get an error:
'Function is not available in expressions in query expression Format([Period],"mmm-yy")'.
I also have other problems with functions in queries ie DateAdd etc.
Any solutions?
Basically I have this formula in excel and i'm trying to recreate it in access but i can't quite figure it out.
****a***********b**********c*********d*********e** ******f
3**Car***Cost Center****start****combining*****end*****miles
4**001*****aaa********021****=(A4&" "&C4)***030
5**002*****bbb********030****=(A5&" "&C5)***035
6**002*****aaa********035****=(A6&" "&C6)***040
f4: =IF(COUNTIF($D4:$D600,D4)=0,(E4-C4),(E4-C4)/COUNTIF($D4:$D600,D4))
f5: =IF(COUNTIF($D5:$D601,D5)=0,(E5-C5),(E5-C5)/COUNTIF($D5:$D601,D5))
f6: =IF(COUNTIF($D5:$D601,D5)=0,(E5-C5),(E5-C5)/COUNTIF($D5:$D601,D5))
So basically: If a car is using multiple cost centers for a trip it divides the total mileage among the cost center for said trip provided that the user enters the same start and end mileage on all the cost centers used. And if it doesn't have multiple cost centers it provides the appropriate amount.
=IF(COUNTIF($D4:$D600,D4)
=IF(COUNTIF($D4:$D600,D5)
=IF(COUNTIF($D4:$D600,D6)
and so on
Any way to reference a column in access while referencing a specific point within that column.
Can an Excel spreadsheet reference an Access Table for it's data? Sort of like a vlookup, but instead of referencing another spreadsheet, I'd like to pull data in from a database.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease help, how can I refer to the field of a subform in Visual Basic when the (main) form is open?
A)
Private Sub supplierID_AfterUpdate()
Forms![invoices]![KombináltLista4].Requery
End Sub
B)
Private Sub supplierID_AfterUpdate()
Forms![details1 Segédűrlap]![KombináltLista4].Requery
End Sub
These don't work. (The main form: INVOICES; the subform:DETAILS1 Segédűrlap; KombináltLista4 is the name of a combo box)
The version B work, when I open the form and the subform together, but of course I'd like to work only on the form (where the subform is displayed as well, but I can't refer to it...)

Can anyone help?
I need to change the reference "Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library" in Access 2000 with the "Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library" but I can't de-select it 'cause it's used by the program. Another problem is that I tried to import the 11.0 copying the file and when I select it from the panel control it seems to import without problems, but when I search it in the list, the 11.0 doesn't exist.
How can I import it?
Hi, I have been designing a database on my computer which seems to be working fine; 2 more users in the company should be able to use the database.In order to see if everything was working properly on other computers, I have put a copy of my db on the server and tried to open it on the other users computer station. Unfortunately, the reference library that I have been updating during the design of the database doesn't seem to apply to the other computers. I have been trying to update it on the other machine but the references on the tool menu in open module is not available.
I didn't expect this to hapened and I am not sure what to do, what would be the apropriate method to make the library available to the other computers?
Is there a way to insert a calendar on a form from which a user can select a Month year and day similar to using the calendar on Outlook or Lotus Notes to set up or view appointments or meetings?

Hi,
I have an SDK that I normally use with VS.NET. I cannot seem to add the .dll as a Reference in my MS Access 2003 database. Is there something I am doing wrong, or a workaround to get it to work? I have .NET 3.0 installed on the PC.
Thanks,

I'm trying to achieve something that I'm sure someone has figured out long ago. I have a DB that currently only shows the zip code for certain records. Is there a way that I can have the DB take the current zipcode, reference a zip code table, and then return both the zip and city/state?
Thanks
Hi guys/gals
My primary key, RefNumber, is a sequentual Autonumber field. I want to creat my own Custommade autonumber field, but the catch is:
My autonumber field should have any of the following (selectable by the user from a combo box from a Form) attached in front of the number: DPR,DPZ,DFE,DGL,DMI,DGJ or DPE.
ie: the autonumber is at 14. The user selects DFE, but this is only the seconde choice made of DFE.
So the end product should be: RefNumber = 14
.........................................DistrictR efNumber = DFE2 or DFE002
Help please?
Thanks in advance
Hello, I have been struggling with this for a while, and I'm hoping I can get some help. The problem I have relates to three tables. I pulled the tables off to the side to show the current relationships between them; Please see attached.
Here is my setup. I created a form that has all the fields in tblEntry, and a combo box whose record source is [EmployeeID] in tblEmployees.
The problem, when the user selects from the combo box, I am getting an entry for the field [EmployeeID] in tblEntry, but I am not getting an entry for [CategoryID] from tblCategory. Basically, I want the user to be able to select one thing and to get two entries: [EmployeeID] and [CategoryID].
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
I have StartDate and EndDate fileds where I enter the date and time the employee starts and finishes his shift (in dddd dd mmmm yyyy hh:nn AM/PM format). However there is a penalty issue that starts at 7.00 PM.
How do I set up a non changing reference for 7.00 PM that I can reference to make a calculation.
For example I need to calculate penalties for when the employee works hours past 7.00 cutoff time.
I would appreciate any assistance to solve this problem

I am writing a query to calculate a running value, looking at the result of the line above and adjusting the running value in relation to new criteria. Make sense ?
For example
I have a number of dates which each have a value (a) against them dependant on the value in (a) I want to reward it in different ways and store the result in (b), I then want to look at (b) in the result of the above line in acessing how I will reward the next record.
Basically I want to read the value of the result of the line above when calculating the next line ? So it is basically cumulative through the query.
ps just found this forum so sorry for postiong a question first but any guidance appreciated.
Which ones are the best?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWell, thanks to SJ McAbney I have a nice chart on referencing subforms from the main form and what not. I'm still having trouble making it work, so I am sure there is something that I don't understand here.
Private Sub cmdNewCat_Click()
Me.frmNavSNewCat.Visible = True
Me!frmNavSNewCat.Form!txtCatParID = Me.txtCurrent '<---This is the one the debugger highlights.
Me!FrmNamsNewCat.Form!txtCatName = ""
Me!FrmNamsNewCat.Form!txtCatNote = ""
End Sub
When I click the cmdNewCat Button, I get this error:
Run-time error '-2146500594 (800f000e)':
Method 'Form' of object '_SubForm failed
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I must be missing a reference somewhere, but I have a form with several calculated fields in it, with the control source as =DateDiff.... They were working fine last week, but now all it displays is #Name?. What happened? I've looked at my references and none appear to be missing. WHich one do I need to add to make this work again? Thanks for you help.

I have designed a report and the underlying query has a parameter that pops-up whenever the report runs. I want to print the value of that parameter in the report header. If I just reference it exactly how it is in the query, while the report runs, it asks for the value of the parameter again! Once with the underlying query and once with the report... How do I ask for the parameter value just once and get the data records filtered using that value as well as print the parameter value?
Classic example of use: I want the report to print records upto a certain date. The date is the paramter value. I want to filter the records based on this date and print the date in the header.
Thanks!

I can see how to iterate over all the controls to find the Tag collection, then do something with it.
Problem is that since I know the name of the tag, I just want to do something with it (height, visibility, etc). But I can't figure out how to reference a tag directly without iterating over all the controls.
Something like me.tag("tagname").height=0
