Hi there, I quickly made a database, and for some reason, can't get past this 'cancelled' error, to get it to occur, open the Companies form, click orders and then it pops up.
By deleting all of the data in my tables, I can get to a state where I can once again enter data, but after closing the orders subform and opening it again, once again I have the dreaded error.
If anyone has any ideas of why this may be happening, feel free to share them :P
Thanks alot,
James Prince
Edit,
Here's my table structure:
CompanyID PK Autonumber - Relationship
Name
Address1
Address2
Town
PostalalCode
TelephoneNumber
FaxNumber
Hey all... I have three searchable fields in my query ATM if i search the MO, and the job code by themselves they don't error out. But if i try searching the FName field. It says "You have canceled the previous operation? Can someone help me with this
I have subform where access lists orderitems(the main form contains the order info). The subform uses a query to lookup items thats in the orderlist. Everything works fine execpt when I change something in a dropdowncombo list in the orderlist sheet(like in sample northwind db) the I get "You cancelled the previous operation". The post IS changed and everything seems to work nice but why do I get this error?
The combo uses "SELECT DISTINCT Items.IDItem, Items.Item FROM Items;" as rowsource and also "ListedItems.IDItem" as controlsource.
The code below is from a form named frmWorkorderComplete I use to append the tblWorkordersComplete table with data from the fields in the table tblWorkOrders. I'm trying to prevent duplicate entries in the tblWorkOrdersComplete table. To do this, I create a unique identifier for each record to be appended by combining the "ordered", "company", and "salescategory" into a string which is inserted into the "wonmbr" primary key field of the tblWorkorderComplete.
The following code is used in the subroutine to check if a particular wonmbr has already been appended. However, I keep receiveing the error: "Runtime Error 2001- You cancelled the previous operation" EVERYTHING else in this sub routine works fine when I remove the offending code:
If DCount("[wonmbr]", "tblWorkorderComplete", "[wonmbr] = str_wonmbr") > 0 Then MsgBox "Workorder Already Appended!" Exit Sub Else

I am trying to open a form with a specified record using double clicked event (list box) but access is throwin "The OpenForm action was cancelled". My code is:

Setup i have a form (frmCustomers) with a subform (sfrmJobs). As you might have guessed, it keeps track of customers and jobs. One customer may have many jobs. within sfrmJobs are about 300 or so controls for about 300 or so fields (mostly yes/no boxes) and at the moment contains two subforms of its own. customers have an autonumber CustomerID and jobs have a user-entered numeric JobID.
Goal it has been brought to my attention that some jobs may just not work out and must be deemed as "cancelled." however, my client wishes to retain these records rather than delete them. in order to maintain the integrity of the reports, i would like to remove these records from the non-cancelled customer database and place them elsewhere, but still retain the ability to review them if need be (but NOT to modify them).
Problem the job can be cancelled at any point down the line, meaning that a job could have nearly no info or nearly all the info, and everything in between. each job record has a ton of fields. i don't know how to cut and paste an entire record (except for doing it field by field, which could take forever in this instance) into a new table. in this case, it would be several records, since i have a list of materials pertinent to each job as well as a list of services necessary for each job - all of which would have to be removed and placed elsewhere.
Cry for Help what is the best way to go about this? some ideas i had were creating a parallel table for each table used in recording all of the job information and just manually (well, via VBA and recordsets) copying, pasting, then deleting. another is creating a checkbox that when clicked disables every control for the cancelled job (but oy vey that's a lot of controls to code the disabling for) and then have it reflected in my reports that these are only from the NON-cancelled jobs. does anyone else have an idea?
I'm not usre how to handle the error when cancelling a report. so when I hit a control to bring up a report and say I cancel it before I put in any parameters for example I get the dialog box " runtime error" "OpenReport action was cancelled" etc.
Could anyone help me on how to handle this with VBA so that it's at least a more user friendly dialog box?
I have a cancelled service that gives a -1 to an ISCANNED field for each EventDate after the date the services are cancelled. Now I am permitted to Delete all of the cancelled records except the Min() date that =-1.
I built a query to find the value for the First Event date that =-1. I then built a delete query to delete all records after the First Event date that =-1 but it had to Join the "Find the value of the First query" to get the table records to show the records that were going to be deleted.It cannot delete.
Is there a module or VB that can be used to make the delete query work without using the joined "Find the value of the First query"?Something that will say "delete all the records after the first cancelled record"
Hello people of access world forums. I've decided to design a simple access db with 2003 version but with 2000 compatibility and everything appear to work ok.
After designing and testing the db, I have set the Jet user-level security options as described in some documentation and set the startup options too for a "clean type" start. Everything is ok: I have created the workgroup in a new .mdw file, joined the workgroup, set the users, set the groups, protect the forms I wanted to. If I try to open the db, it asks for user and password and the db works as espected about security.
But if I delete, move or change the .mdw filename, the db turns accesible without the implemented security. Only the startup option works but no user is prompted and the protected items turns unprotected.
I would like to know how can I associate the .mdw to the .mdb so I can't access the .mdb if the .mdw file is not present (i.e. copying the .mdb to another computer or something).
I'm working with an old database and I am getting this error. I have have access 2010. I starting to receive this error after I unlinked one of the tables.

I have validation on a checkbox on a sub form and after the validation fails and the cancel = true is executed in the before update event, I am unable to select the checkbox on the form. Access will not allow the selection. my subform is called frmContactType so hopefully I am referencing it correctly:
This error occurs at the OutputTo line. This code is part of an user form with a button “save as PDF”. When this code is run, the report is visible as an example (as meant to be) on the screen. The code stops at the OutputTo line.
When I use DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, acFormatPDF, StrDocumentName,, False the problem still exists.
I tried to save the report manually by Preview > Export > PDF. The preview is OK, saving as PDF results in the same error 2501. This may lead to the conclusion that this problem is not caused by the VBA code.
I verified whether user write rights are OK, and whether a default printer is available. Both are OK. The report consists of 1 page. When this very same application is used with Access 2010, everything functions as expected.
:confused: Anyone know how to trap/prevent the msg "The DoMenuItem action was cancelled" after answering no to deleting a record? I followed the instructions at the following thread but no luck:
---------------------------------- Private Sub Delete_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Delete_Click DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70 DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70 Exit_Delete_Click: Exit Sub Err_Delete_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Delete_Click End Sub
----------------------------------- Private Sub Form_Delete(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.SetWarnings False If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to delete this record?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Cancel = True Else MsgBox "Record deleted!" End If End Sub -------------------------------------
how do i put criteria into a query to only retrieve records from the previous working day, but if the previous day is saturday or sunday (current day monday) it knows to go back to friday and ignore weekends as they are not working days.
I have an inventory report that I am given among the fields are Item, Ship Date, Signed Quantity, Filled-Recvd, On Hand I am given an initial amount in the onhand field but the fields below that for that item are blank. What I would like to do is [Signed Quantity] - [Filled-Recvd] and then add that to the On Hand from the previous record and place it in the on hand field..
If it were in excel I would say G2 H2 + I1 G = Signed Quantity H = Filled-Recvd I = On Hand TIA! Scott
I'm pretty new in the access world and I'm trying to build my first Database! I've a question (I bet really simple): I'd like to know how it is possible to keep previous data that I've entered in a form when I open it a second time. Thanks a lot for you help
What I need to do is two fold. I have a table in which I track clinets coming in and using our services.
Question 1: I want to be able to have a a date field default to the date I first type in when I open the form and remain there in all subsequent records till I change it. The data is only entered once a week and we usually have 400 client visits per week with about 75 - 120 per day. So it kind of gets repeatitive to keep typing in the date. I am aware of the CTRL+', but the staff who use this database do not even want to do that.
Question 2: Next problem....How would I create an autocorrect function that will automatically fill in a name...i.e. I begin to type jo and it will automatically fill in the hn...but I want the values to come from previously entered data from past records, similar to the way Excel does it in spreadsheets.
in a form I've created showing products bought, when I add a new new order it still keeps the previous order's data, how can I prevent that from happening?
I am just posting a follow-up on my previous post on designing functional forms. Telling by the lack of replies, my original question may have been long winded and tedious. Let me try to narrow my question and make it more concise.
In two tables connected by a one-one field name ProfileID, how can I set a new field in the second table (call it StepNo or procedureNo) so that it increments step numbers for each unique ProfileID record? Thus for each new Profile record created in the first table, a new form will allow the entry of X numbers of steps into the second table and automatically link the two records?
I hope that clarifies my problem. Thanks in advance.
