I need to add a Form to an Access database designed by others. In the form design view, there is no toolbox shown . If I go to View menu, toolbox is greyed out.
Can anyone please advise how to locate the toolbox?
Hi,
when designing reports or forms, when I pressing the
toolbox icon, it would depress, but no toolbox was visible. I tried
resetting the toolbox (through view/toolbars) and I set all of the
settings back to default. I even uninstalled and reinstalled MS
Access several times but no luck.
Any help please.

Recently I lost the the functionality of the toolbox then shortly after I lost the toolbox icon completely.
The only way to use the features was to create an new toolbar.
System Restore finally fixed the problem.
This has happened twice on me with the 200 and 2003 versions.
Is it me? and is there an easier way to sort this. Reinstalling Access never cured the problem either.

I'm working on a user's database that needs some cleaning up; however, when I go into the "View" menu, the option to use the Toolbar is greyed out and I therefore can't utilize the Toolbar.
What do I have to do in order to have use of the Toolbar?
Thanks in advance.
I have microsoft access 2003
Everytime i select tool box and chose example combo box or option group
none of the wizards are working just place it on the form
I uninstalled and reinstalled it but still the wizards in the tool box dosnt work
Last thing i was working on was a switchboard but deleted table and form.
Please help.
I am going crazy!!. I want to use .jpg images in my Access Form (Access 2003). All the tutorials and forums talk about using Image Control to display .jpg images. But I can't find the Image Control on the toolBox??? Where is the Image Control?? I am currently useing Unbound Image Control but that only allows me to display .bmp images.
Help!!!
:confused: The View>Toolbox menu item is grayed out on an Access 2003 database I am using yet it is visible if I start a new database. So the problem seems specific to the db - can anyone help me out?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
Have a problem with the Toolbox functions when in form design mode; they have suddenly stopped working this afternoon.
For example add button no longer brings up the wizard asking about the various options, combo box wizard no longer appears.
Has anyone encountered this before?
Have tried a reboot but no luck.
Thanks

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?
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.
Is there any way I can do a search that lets me put in a section of a part number and the part number be found? I only see how I can find the number if I put in the entire number.
Thanks
I think this is fairly simple, but being as I haven't ever done it! I want to do a search to find all records less those called "Default". As I say I just cant think how to do it. Any help appreciated. Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedHey everyone,
Im creating a database for college using MS access 2003.
I have 3 table that contain data and i am building form to allow a user to search for a particular customer. The customer ID in my customer table is an auto number.
I have a button on my form and it shows the find and replace box when pressed which is what i want but i then want it so that when a user types a customer ID number in to that find and replace box and it is an exact match for the find and replace box to auto close else show an Error message and allow the user to input another customer number,
Im sure there is macro code to do this so im asking if anyone knows or has any better ideas?
Thanks for your time
Hello Expert,
I have attempted for two days to following codes. I am still unable to get the way out. Would you give me a help?
The field fund_cd is a combo box of transaction table to look up reference table called fund_type. Here is the structure of fund_type:
fund_cd text 3
fund_desc text 50
fund_currency text 5
My needs are to pull both values of fund_cd and fund_currency to transaction table, so 1 combo box cannot meet my needs. As such, I write following codes to base on selected fund_cd to find appropriate value of fund_currency in fund_type.
From the code below, I meet the run-time error ‘3001’ and I am not sure can I finally get fund_currency using method of GetString.
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strccy As String
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
rst.CursorType = adOpenStatic
rst.Open "Select * from fund_type"
strSQL = "fund_cd = " & Me.fund_cd
rst.MoveFirst
rst.Find strSQL, 0, adSearchForward
strccy = rst.GetString(adClipString)
Thanks very much!

I am trying to code a combo box control to find a record. This is incredibly simple but for some reason it won't work. Could you tell me what I am missing.
I have put the following code in the after update of the control
Dim rs as Object
Set rs= Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ContestNo]='"&Me![Combo23] & "'"
Me.Bookmark=rs.Bookmark
I don't get any errors but it won't work either...any ideas??
thanks in advance,

I have an unbound text box. I want the user to
be able to type in all or part of a title for a movie.
Hit the find button and then have a form open
with entry's based on the text box.
Thanks Tukewa
Hello to all,
Little new in Access i would like to know how to use the key to find directly to a record in a table.
ie : i have a table where the primary key (unique) is a date, using VBA i would like to know the instruction to find directly the record 01/06/2004 for exemple.
Thanks in advance.

I realize this probably isn't the right place for this, but...how do I find all of my posts, whether I started a new post or responded to someone else's post?
Thanks in advance to whoever replies :D
I have a find command button that appears to call the find and replace message box. It should be a search for anything in my query. The code behind the button looks like the find and replace message box in the office suite. I believe I am trying to create a message box where you add an entry and it searches then lauches a subform with my entries.
When I checked the button it had the following code:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFind_Click
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 10, , acMenuVer70
Exit_cmdFind_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdFind_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdFind_Click
End Sub
I read a few of the lookup queries but they only give me a drop down. Is there some way to customize the box comes up without altering all of Office or do I just sound lost.
Ok, so I made a registration website with FrontPage and published it. The registration page has several text boxes and a submit button. I was testing it out and entered a few dummy names. The conformation page popped up and said everything was ok. So I'm assuming the data successfully uploaded into the Access DB that I linked it to while in development.
My problem is when I go to the folder where the DB resides there so no data in the tables. I'm thinking that maybe when the website gets published a copy of the DB is moved somewhere and I'm looking in the wrong place? This is the first time I have made a webpage or used FrontPage so please excuse my ignorance, hehe.

Hi all
This message has suddenly started to appear when clicking on a shortcut to all my mdbs.
Windows cannot find [path] .mdb
I click OK and the db continues normally.
the message does not appear when opening a mdb directly.
odd huh?
any thoughts on how to resolve this annoying problem would be appreciated

I have some database, I need to replace empty cells one column with some data.
But Access does not do it.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
I have a database created in Access 2000. It works OK on computer number one. When I copy the data base to another computer and open it, the table can not be found. The error message is "D:DocsdgrDocent Library Nov 2005 is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which it resides" The path mentioned is the original path on computer number one. The DB opens but it will not find the table or the queries etc. I thought that moving the DB had something to do with it but when I copied the DB to an external HD and then opened it, it works fine. But when I connect the external HD to the other computer it doesn't find the table.
Both computers have Access 2000.
Number one is XP and number two is W2000.

Hello everyone.
I've got an VB app that uses an Access db that sits on a sever. The owner of the app has no Access installled on site. The prior consultant created the app and used MS Access.
Is there a way for me to determne what version of Access this db was created in?
Thanks
