I am trying to change the column width on an unbound box. I make the change and then click the close "x" in the right corner. then when prompted select to save the changes. But then the design form does not close. I have to select "no" when prompted to save the changes in order to close the design form, but then that discards my changes. how to get around this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.
I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had to use my first crosstab queries.
I now understand that when opening and saving crosstab queries Access (2010) runs that query to ascertain the column names. Unless you hard-code them. Running the query takes at least 20 minutes.
I have hard-coded where I can, but one report takes arbitrary dates so I can't hard-code them.
I believe that turning off AutoCorrect might make a difference to whether the query runs - but I don't want to turn it off.
I need code for save dialog file ,and select the file from textbox and save it to the selected location.i have only this code and i dont know what else i can do with this because it just opens the save file dialog !
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a sub form in DataSheet view and I would like to lock the design so that the User should not change the layout
Even when I set the property of the Datasheet “Allow Design Changes: Design View Only” users are able to unhide the hidden columns and they can also change the size of the column by dragging the column end line
Does any one know how to lock the design of datasheet ( I am using this sub form datasheet for data entry but do not want users to change the layout)
Thanks

I'm going to make up names and values -- I'm interested in the structure.
Table ALPHA:
COLA DAT1 DAT2 DAT3
1 5 7 9
2 4 14 8
Table BETA:
COLA_IND DAT1 DAT2 DATN
1 a b c
Table CHARLIE:
COLA_IND DAT1 DAT2
2 d e
Table DELTA:
COLA_IND DAT1 DAT2
2 f g
Ok, the idea here is that the data in table ALPHA contains data with COLA a key such that selecting 2 would yield the data row "4, 14, 8."
Now, COLA_IND is a "COLA" key for table ALPHA (sorry, I can never remember which side is called the foreign key). So, from tables BETA, CHARLIE and DELTA, I can access any row in ALPHA based on the key "COLA_IND"
Here's the fun part. When I build my query, it wants to use an inner join on the keys from all these tables... In order words:
SELECT blah blah blah INNER JOIN blah ON (ALPHA.COLA=BETA.COLA_IND) AND (ALPHA.COLA=CHARLIE.COLA_IND) AND (ALPHA.COLA=DELTA.COLA_IND)
What I'm looking to do is expand BETA, CHARLIE and DELTA with the information from ALPHA based on the key COLA_IND. I don't think this is doing what I want.
Any comments?
Thanks in advance...
Hey,
I've got this problem and im 95% sure its going to need a query in order to achieve this answer im looking for.
I'm creating a Software Licensing Management db and its all working lovely. However my only problem remains is the graphical representation (text box within one of the forms) of howmany licenses are/aren't(doesnt matter if this number is a +/- number) available.
In order to achieve this answer I dont think you'l need the table structure of any of my tables other than these two:
tblLicenseInformation
License_ID
LicenseDescription
NumOfLicensesPurch
SoftwareOverview_ID
tblHardwareSoftwareLicense
HSL_ID
Hardware_ID
Vender_ID
Software_ID
AppEdition_ID
AppVersion_ID
SoftwareOverview_ID
License_ID
However I would like to add a column to either of these tables named 'Availability' or something similar which will show the licenses available.
I've tried a number of Update/Append queries but all have failed. I want this Available running variable held within the table due to it not changing to much of the current db design as i baisically finished the project and they asked for it! any ideas of how to efficiently achieve this will be much appreciated!
cheers
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
I need a simple line of VBA code for Access 2000. I am using Access to open a XML file via Excel 2000 spreadsheet. After opening I want to use SAVEAS to save the file to a different location. In addition I want to specify the file format as Excel. What is the code to specify the file type as Excel?
My current code is :
myWorkBook.SaveAs (myPaths![Path])
So what do I need to add to this line to specify the file type?
Any help appreciated!

I have a combo box that gets its data from a seperate table...In the table I have "Location_ID" and "Location_Name". When I save my form I want the "Location_Name" to save in the "Events" table, but its putting in the "Location_ID". How do I get it to save the "Location_Name" instead of the "Location_ID" from the combo box.
Thanks in advance.

I previously posted this in one of the other forums, but now believe this to be of a more general nature, and am still without a satisfactory explanation or any workaround:
I'm working on a new database with Access 2003, using the 2002-2003 file format. While debugging a VBA code module in the VB editor, whenever I get a runtime error something strange happens - I stop the debugger, correct the code and attempt to save my changes, and Access displays the message "Microsoft Office Access can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save your design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file." It then persists in denying me the ability to save ANYTHING until I close the VB editor, close the Access application, and then start over again. In fact, there is no other user - all other machines on the network are turned off, and no other instances of Access or the VB editor are open.
Needless to say, this is slowing my development efforts to a crawl, and I'm totally stumped by it - I never remember running into this problem in years of working with Access 97 (where I can hit errors, stop execution, make any needed corrections to code or other objects, and re-run the application, without having to exit). I'm running this on a P4 3.4 GHz box with 1 GB of RAM. Going into Tools, Options, Advanced and switching the "Default open mode" between Shared and Exclusive makes no difference.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
This morning when I make changes to reports in design view then I try to save the changes and Access acts like nothing was saved. I then close window and it asks if I want to save changes, I click yes then it dosn't close. If I close and don't save changes it closes then.
I don't get any error messages or anything that looks like a problem and I could save changes yesturday. Not sure what is differant today.
It is on Access 2003 format.
Hi.
I got a problem...
How do i put access to not save automatically. I want it to save only wend i click on the save button i put on the form.
How do i do that?
Thanks.
I have noticed that when i am editing an object within my database, specifically a query and click to close it, it doesn't prompt me to save the changes and does it automatically. There have been cases where i do not want to save the changes and just wanted to know if there was a simple setting to turn off automatic saves?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi guys, little question.
I really like Access, I can manage well with it. But I have a problem, and I really wonder why this kind of thing happens in such a professional program using a lot of important data.
Actually the program saves automatically, and I don't like it. For example I try a little something, delete some stuff, replace by something else, and when I quit the program, it doesn't say a thing, and when I come back, the unimportant stuff I changed is still there, and what was replaced is lost. Why? Is there any way to force the program to ask if I want to save the changes?... It's really annoying and I really don't feel secure with my data with this system.
Thanks for your clues! :)
I have an AC 2003 db that a customer is running using runtime. There is a report in the db and when the customer tries to run it, a "save as xps" box comes up. The customer is running the db using 6 machines, only 2 of the machines are getting the error. Is this an issue with Vista?

For every record in the table case the categories and the subcategories are the same.

Relatively new to databases. I have designed a few using tables, forms. reports etc and have a switchboard open up on start up. When entering details in the switchboard form I need to press enter to save the record.
I noticed that on some databases there is a button which you press to save the record.
Pardon me for being pretty dumb but how do I add this to my forms.
Hi,
I have made 3 forms, details,master, and stocks. They r based on same name tables i.e., details, master and stocks.
Stocks has got a set of pre-loaded records. I want to show data related to stocks on details form, but it should only happen when anyone enters some data in a CODE field on details form. Basically there are 3 fields which are same in details and stocks. CODE (NUM), PONO (TXT), DESC (TXT).
My query is, that when a user enters a record in CODE field it should check if the same code exist in stocks table. If yes then it should fetch the other two fields data and paste in details form. Also advise me how to link these three table together. Please Help
