I have a query that asks for the start date and end date in order to generate the results. I have a report built off of it.
I changed the name of the fields so that there are no spaces. The query still runs correctly. However, when I try to open the report, I get asked for the start date, the end date, and the start date again. I assume is is somehow still looking for the original start date--the one with the space. I have checked the sorting and grouping and the fields on the report, but I can't find where it might be. Does anyone know where else to look?
Hi! I was out of the office yesterday and today I came back and got into the database and now it's asking for a parameter. As I didn't set parameters for anything I have no clue where this could have come from. I have checked everywhere and cannot find this. Is there a way it will tell me where this is so I can get rid of it.
For a form, i have a series of check boxes. One of these had a & symbol in the name, i originally had this working, but with some extra functionality added it no longer became possible, as it recognised it as a special character. The checkbox, and relating table reference was Inform_Q&FS I changed all references of it to Inform_QFS. However, im getting a parameter window pop up asking for the original reference. I've tracked it down to a point between a button being clicked and the begining of the following forms load Sub. The point of the button method triggering the parameter window is the line where the button changes the subform to the new form.
Here is the db..
Could somebody please take a look and see whats going on... im starting to get really frustrated with databases. :(
Also, any general comments regarding the db are welcome, as i'm assuming im doing things the right way there. and excuse the messy coding
All I am trying to do is insert to have a form with a "Delete Record" button on it. The problem is I don't want anyone to be able to delete a record, I would like someone to have to insert a password to confirm the delete.
I have a query based on two tables, joined on one field (this field is the primary key in Table A. Table B doesn't have a primary key). When working inside this query, it gives me the option to delete records. However, when I try, the row disappears from the query but then if I save and close and either re-open table A or the resulting query, that record is back. It doesn't actually delete. If I go to table A directly and delete it, it's gone for good.
How can I make it so that when I delete the record inside the query it actually deletes? And if that's not an option, can I make it so that it doesn't seem like I can delete records inside the query so that people don't make the mistake?
I have two simple tables. I want to delete the records from Table1 that are on Table2. I've created a select query that gives me what I want but when I change to a delete query, I get this message: "Unable to delete from specified tables"
I think my problem has something to do with security but I can't figure out what to change.
I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.
I have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time End Date/Time Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee 12/06/2014 01:00--12/06/2014 03:00------John Smith 12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe 13/06/2014 02:00--13/06/2014 05:00------John Smith 13/06/2014 08:00--13/06/2014 08:00------Jane Doe
I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?
I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.* FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct] WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.
A customer's name is SZEE. Seek him through the SName textbox with Find, and Access can't find him. (Same in the table.) Seek him with a wildcard Sz* and there he is.
I've tried it on another machine - also with Access2k - and it's the same.
Is it an Access quirk? Is there an answer? (The client asks why. Be good to be able to say.) Cheers.
I have an issue where I need all but 2 users out of my DB on Wednesday morning for billing reasons.
I thought of writting a batch file that would delete the frontend DB from all computers from 8:00 - 10:00 every wed morning. However if a user comes in before 8:00 and have the DB open then it will not delete the front end from their desktop.
Can anyone think of a way to keep users out of a system from 8-10am every Wed?
have searched forum for this but not getting what i want (or maybe i just don't understand very well) but here's my question anyway:
the table is related to several other tables and the cascade delete property is on.
on a master form (with subfrm for related tbls) i want cmdbutton to do this:
when the user DELETE a record, the deleted record (and! it's subdata) must be removed from the current table(s) but copied(?) to another table(s) which won't be accessed by the user, so that i can keep track of deleted records.
do i have to setup DUPLICATE tables (and relate them again) to capture deleted records ? and then have a qry that will cut(?) paste records that gets deleted?
i think i need only one qry that will do all this, but not sure how ?
I have a table with several fields and I am trying to delete one of the fields. It tells me the field in related to one or more tables and to use Database Relationships to delelet the relation. I have taken every table out of the Relation Database, Deleted every query, form that ever related to the table and still can't delete the field from the table. I have done Database repair, delete the entire table and rebuilt it and I still have the problem. Any help out there? Thanks.
ok ive made myself a DELETE query, that should Delete all records in a table that are 'TRUE'.... however i cant add it to a command button in my form...it wont appear in my 'command button wizard' as part of my queries, its not there...
I have two tables. table A and table B. Both tables have a field called CASE. What I want to do is delete from table A the CASE where table A and table B CASE is the same. example:
Table A Table B Case Case 1 2 2 4 3 4 5 I want the results of the query to delete CASE 2 & 4 from Table A
I have a field that if another field matches the criteria then a user must fill in that field. If that makes sense!!
I have some code that if a user exits without entering any information on it asks them if they want to and if not undoes what the user has entered in the form. This works fine however a user can enter something into the field exit the field then go back in and delete it. When the user then goes to exit it doesnt flag up as it thinks it has been updated. Can anyone help with this.

hello, can anyone point me to a thread that deals with vba code to delete. i am trying to delete a file path in my table and at the same time it would delete a physical file in a directory that corresponds with the deleted file path.
I am using Access 95. Lately when I make a new Form it works for a few tries then I get this error message "The Form Name you entered in either the property sheet or a macro is missed spelled or refers to a Form that does not exits. " Well I know the form exits because I just made it and I can see it. Then when I try to delete it to start over it says it’s deleting the form but still remains in the database. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a form in Access 97 which contains embedded charts.
When I try to open the from I get this message..
"282 error when you loaded the form or report. You loaded a form or report that has controls or properties that Microsoft Access does not recognise and will ignore."
If I try to open the form in design view from the main database window I get the following...
"The microsoft jet databse engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." -this happens when I am the only user in the database.
and then
"A problem occurred while microsoft access was communicating with the OLE server."
When I try to delete the form Microsoft Access closes down.
i have created, from scratch, the form again which workd fine but I can't get rid of the old one.
I have a wizard made delete record button on my form and up until today it worked fine. Now when clicked an error message comes up saying: cant find the field 'forms' referred to in your expression. I have no field 'form' in any of the tables or queries relating to this form, in any of my tables in fact, i don't have a clue what is wrong and why it suddenly wont work. Can anyone help please. Thanks

I have a library database that I want to delete a record in my tblStatus when the book is returned. I have found the deleteobject function but it appears that that will delete like a table or query or report or something like that. I have no need to keep track of how many times a certain book has been checked out or that John Doe has checked out books X, Y and Z. As a mater of fact that is exactly what I don't want so I just want to delete the record that says Book ZZZ was checked out by John Doe. When the book is returned I just want it available for some one else.
