Forms :: Delete Search Field In Order To Point To Appropriate Field?
May 6, 2013I am using access 2010. I technically have an unbound form but I am changing the record source by command buttons. Switching between 3 command buttons. My problem is that I have a subform that I was linking to the form to an unbound search field. Now I want to switch the master and child links to a field on the form when I switch the record source which happen to be the same field as the unbound search field; however; it still pulls from the unbound search field rather than the field on the form. Do I need to delete the search field in order to get is to point to the appropriate field?

A Way To Delete A Field In A Table Safely
Sep 2, 2005I'm using Access 2000. I want to remove a field from an existing table and I'm not sure if this field is used in any of the existing queries, I really don't want to have to manually check all 100 queries to see if it's been used. Is there a query, macro or ??? I can write to do this? How?

Delete Spaces In Text Field
Jun 28, 2006We have a table with approx 2m records. Just three fields:
Key (primary)
Postcode
Postcode reference
The problem is with the postcodes. Many of these have a double space in them such as this DE13 7EL but we need DE13 7EL.
Find and Replace runs into a problem because of the number of records.
An update query seems obvious but we can't figure out what to put in Update to as this appears to return the literal value.
We are not VBA programmers so that isn't really an option for us.
How can we strip out that extra space?

Any ideas?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDelete Fields Referring To Field Number
Aug 5, 2006I need to trim a lot of tables. Is it possible to delete table fields with reference to the field number instead of field name?
The command 'tblMyTable.Fields.Delete ("FieldName")' takes a string (field name) as input. I rather like to - in a loop - delete say,
Sub DeleteFields()
For i = 40 To 60
tblMyTable.Fields.Delete Field(i) ' Not correct syntax
Next i

Queries :: Query Returns (DELETE) As Field Value
Mar 18, 2015I have a query, and when I execute it, the correct data set is returned. However one field shows "DELETE" as the value for all records.
when I ran it on the SQL server management studio as a test it ran fine. End user does not have access to the tables, so I created a small MS Access application. When I ran the query in MS Access, then connected table dbo_DocRef > Notes shows a value of DELETED.
What am I missing?

Jan 1, 2014I have a database of personnel. People come and go all the time; however I can't have a personnel record deleted as soon as they leave.

View 1 Replies View RelatedReports :: Delete / Ignore A Page Based On Field Value
Oct 18, 2013So I have a report with two pages. One page is about product exchange information and the other one payment. This report can either be printed or saved as a pdf (one pdf for both pages) and e-mailed.
This works fine, however if the item is under warranty then the exchange is for free and I do not want to print/e-mail the 2nd page (payment).My trigger field for this is "Warranty" which can be "Yes" or "No".How can I prevent that 2nd page from printing/e-mailing? Can it be simply skipped when the report is being created based on my field?

View 13 Replies View RelatedQuery Lets Me Delete But Doesn't Actually Delete...
Apr 2, 2007I 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?

Delete DB On Wed AM
May 9, 2007OfficeXP
Access 2000
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?
Thanks All.

Delete How? Please!!!!!
Nov 22, 2004have 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 ?
any help much appreciated.
regards,
Piet.

Can Delete
Oct 13, 2005I 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.
My Code so Far:
If Me.No2Release = "Cayman Certificate of Release to Service" And Me.Eng2_Approval = "" Then
If MsgBox("You haven't entered an approval number. Do you want to?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Me.AC_Ser_No.SetFocus
Me.Eng2_Approval.SetFocus
Else 'user clicked no
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, acUndo, , acMenuVer70
Me.Base.SetFocus
End If
End If
Thanks
