I WANT TO RUN 4 BIG APPEND QUERYS BUT IF USER PRESS ESCAPE BUTTON BEFORE ALL QUERYS ARE FINISHED - THEN ALL RECORD CHANGES MADE BY THOSE QUERYS MUST BE CANCELED.
SO I MADE THIS CODE. BUT IT DOES NOT WORK.
I have a form and a subform in it. I added New cancel button in the form so that the the user can cancel the record creation and no record will be inserted in the parent table.
But when details are entered in the subform (a datasheet) row records will be created in the subform table. what is the correct method or how to cancel these records if the user choose to click cancel button on the parent form.
It works a treat! However, I do not want this to continue to calculate if the record has them as deceased - I want it to stop at their date of death.
I have a tick box that when selected indicates that this record has died, and a field where you can enter date of death.
Is there some way that via clicking this button, or by entering a date of death, I can stop the Age Query from calculating for just that relevant record, not all of them? If so, where to place the necessary VBA, etc?
For the company I am doing my thesis, I developed a tool in MS Access for monitoring sales data, customers, employee data etc… The tool is working with a front-end database, installed locally on every PC and a Back-end on the company’s server ( Located at city Genk) The tool is working smooth on the location in Genk. But then the problem occurs when this tool had to be used on an other company location, 100km from the server (Antwerp); the waiting and loading times are very long, even for the smallest data.
Obvious this is because the companies network from one location to another is too slow. But because of financial reasons I’m looking for a software solution.
An idea is to create a Back-end server for each location, for all local data and one general back-end server for unique data ( for instance: there has to be a unique calculation number for each calculation made in the entire company). I think this will decrease waiting times for some data, but not all…
Hi guys, I need help with security settings and that. I have a database which i want available on a shared server. Basically i only want people to beable to see one form but not beable to see anything else or make any changes to this form.
Do i need to split and make a front and back end? I will want to make occasional changes to tables etc.. and so would want this to automatically update on the database seen by everyone else.
Sorry, not making much sense but am bit confused about it all!

I have a small system that consists of a back end data base and 2 front ends. having 2 front ends was a historic reason but they cover 2 distinct processes in the system.
I now have the need for using the same module(s) in both front ends. Each has a copy which is fine if nothing changes but when it does I have to apply the changes made (or copy over in its entirety) from one front end to the other.
Although this is no big deal I can forsee it slipping through the net.
Can 2 front ends access the SAME module and if so how?
I have (on a company network) a FrontEnd .accde and a backend .accdb - currently ~ 10 users (some over wifi - slow!)The FrontEnd is becoming a rather large file ~ 10 MB and is also becoming slower.I am looking to separate this in to 3 FrontEnd files as to simplify and to lessen the file sizes etc.
My question is - are there any issues around a 3 x FrontEnd databases all connecting to 1 x backend database holding all the tables - over a network?
I have a very unusual situation where I need the name of a field in an Access table to end with a blank (i.e. space). I tried doing it trivially while in Design View but no dice. I tried it through some SQL along the lines of the following pseudo code
Select [old table].[Address] as [Address2 ], [old table].* Into [new table] From [old table]
but the new field's name "Address2 " lost the final space.A third try was through some syntax for an Alter Table statement to add or modify a field. It didn't pan out.

I have recently asked about being able to use my table system online. i have just thought. what about creating a front end that works online. still have the front end on the desktop and the table system on the desktop but have both of them connecting to the one table system.
I have a form containing a subform. The subform is opened in data entry mode, so it displays no existing records. However if the user right-clicks the form and selects a sort, all records are displayed. Is there any way to stop this behavior so that the form remains in data entry mode?
I have a combo box that contains a list of values, but users can add their own if they choose. If the value they type in isn't on the list, the Not In List event fires. Once the procedure is done, the form inexplicably closes.
Oddly enough, it only closes under certain circumstances - the code provides several different options for saving the new data, and if I choose different options, the form works as its designed.
Further, if I insert a breakpoint anywhere in the code, then hit F5 to let the code run, the form works fine. Literally, the breakpoint can be anywhere in the procedure from the first line (On Err...) to the last line in the Exit block, "Exit Sub".
How do I hide or disable the File tab in Access 2010 on my front ends?
The file tab being present allows end user to get into Privacy Options and Printing. Printing is okay if I could disable the Privacy Options for end users, then it wouldn't matter if they have access to the File Tab.
My question encompasses a front end connected to multiple back ends. It is probably a mundane point, but reading a few articles didn't seem to touch on it.
By this, let me toss out that I am thinking of the personnel where I work when I say 95% have a hard time using email and MS Word, let alone mundane functions like find a file, etc. As such, I have to make my front-ends extremely user friendly.
With that in mind, when developers have multiple back ends, what are thoughts about the best way to relink when required? Even when there are 'more sophisticated' users? Security not an issue or is an issue (inasmuch as can be handled in access)?
Ex: Large corporation with a multitude of user ability. Large database with say 3 different back ends.
I was thinking about keeping a front-end table with each table name and UNC path, hard coding paths to corresponding table names, etc.
Personally I don't have a need for multiple back-ends, but the question came up while reading.
I have a table with "fieldA", "filedB", and "filedC". I want "fieldC" to be the result of multiplying "fieldA" and "filedB". How can I do this?? I don't want to have to type in the result in "fieldC", I want this to be done automatically when I fill up "fieldA" and "filedB."
The above should return the same results as if I input 5 for the parameter prompt for [s], but they do not, and I cannot for the life of tell what Access is actually doing with the number I input for [s]. I cannot see a trend in its results from record to record, it just seems random.
I have developed a MS-Access application for a small call-center (20 users).with approx 1500 customer-records to call everyday. What I have done: There are 20 front-ends residing at the Telecallers desktop and 1 database@server. Presently I am allocating 1500 records (clients send 1500 data everyday) everyday to 20 telecallers so that they get their respective calling details (75 records/telecaller). The no of cases that they need to call is predetermined. They see cust-details and call up the customer manually. What I intend to do: I don’t want to allocate records to telecallers. Instead, when they open the FE-screen they will get the record that is available. (Of course keeping in mind that no particular record is opened by more than 1 telecaller). Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Any idea will encourage me to make the application more pro.
Say I have a table full of tasks. Some tasks are performed each day (Mon-Fri, Friday only, Saturday only, etc). Each day someone has to mark which tasks were not completed, and move those to another table (?). Each task may have small changes to it (length of time, who performs the task, etc.).
There is one person tracking these 350 tasks per day, which they run a report generated from another server that tells them what wasn't completed.
I would like form to be able to show what was completed for the day (by basically subtracting what wasn't completed), as well as for a range of days.
Most of this I can do, but the basic problem is how to generate a "daily" schedule, or a list that he can select what wasn't done? I thought about make a table of days from now until about 2010, and make a query with no relationship so that it assigns a date to each entry (which creates several hundred thousand lines), but that wouldn't do because there can be change that occur for that task for one day or several months.
How does one handle reoccurring events like this? I've gotten fairly good with Access over the past several months, and 90% of what I want to do is no problem, but this one problem, with scheduling, is something I've never been able to figure out. I really need this for 3 separate projects!
The closest I've come is using an append query that pulls a date from a control on a form with a button press, and adds to a list of tasks, but I feel there should be a more elegant (and foolproof) option.
I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to help me.
I am trying to update a table with info in another table, using a nested query.
strSQL = "UPDATE tblTemp SET AdminNum = '" & cboAdmin.Text & "', " & _ "Size = (SELECT Size FROM tblEquipList WHERE AdminNum = '" & cboAdmin.Text & "')"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
cboAdmin is a combo box on my form that is populated by tblEquipList.AdminNum.
When run this gives me: Runtime Error '3073': Operation must use an updateable query.
The SELECT statement works by itself, and the first part of the UPDATE (without the nested select) works by itself, but not when I combine them. I also need to update other things in the same manner in which Size is being updated, but when I can get this to work it shouldn't be a problem just added the updates for the other fields in there.
Thanks in advance, Jeremiah
Edit: Also, I figured I should add that when I remove the SELECT statment and put in a number (IE: Size = '400'), the query runs just fine. So I know the problem lies in the nesting, but am unsure how.
Hi, I've been progamming Access for a couple of years so am not a complete novice but I can't seem to work out this problem. I downloaded some code from "databasedev.co.uk" from the query section called "Using a Microsoft Access listbox to pass criteria to a query". It works fine. However when I import my own table and change the code to SELECT the imported table and change the WHERE statement to my new string within that table , I get an error. When I select from the list box and click the command button I get the message "You canceled the previous operation". However if I select the "ALL" selection from the list box it does return all the records.
