Changing Theme Design Of Entire Database
Oct 6, 2011
Not a very important question and is just for aesthetics however is there a way to make every form, every command button the same colour, font, size etc?
I have selected a theme however it does not change all forms, labels, text boxes, etc
I don't really want to have to go change them all one by one
For example I would like to get rid of all the navigation on all my forms can you change it over whole database or just individually?

I am new to access.
On occasion my access database all of a sudden begins to operate very slowly, I notice the queries take a much longer time to run.
Last week it suddenly began to operate very slowly after idling in excess of 30 mins
Today when I change the screen to design view and then back to form view once again it begins to operate very slowly. (yesterday was working fine on my desktop at home, I have not made any changes to the database with exception to saving and using the file this morning on the shared drive at work) If I shut down and re open it operates well but once again changing to design view causes the same issue. Sometimes compact and repair rectifies sometimes not.

Is there a way to search an entire database? Almost like a Google search where a user could put in a few key words and it would retrieve all records no matter which fields the key words appeared in?

Hi,
I am running an autocompact module in Access97 which will created a 'compacted version' of my database. I then want to rename this compacted version to the name of the original database I compacted. I cannot however find a way of doing this in code.
Basically the idea is to compact every 45 minutes or so, but what my autocompact is doing is creating a compacted version under a different name, and so compacting a copy of the database, I then want to change this compacted database name to the original name and re compact every 45 mins
Can anyone help?

I have access BD and every one use it through shared folder. My problem is in attachment ! , if i use the regular attachment filed in access there is one user only able to attach files and others can`t attach any thing until he finish.
I tried to do attachment through VBA like below which make it worse as it lock the DB so, no one can even open the DB and one user only access the DB .
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2
Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rsParent = me.Recordset
[Code] .....
How multi users attach files at the same time without locking the DB.....

I wonder if by any chance it is possible to create a search bar that scans the entire database- or lemme say the fields i assigned to such search bar- that can be put in the switchboard or so.
According to my level of understanding of access, this should be a query.
However, is it possible to make it appear like a search bar that could be placed where I want it; in this case in the switchboard??
Does it require a certain code or something?

I have a database with 8 tables. When I create a replica, one of the tables (only one) in the replica gets modified such that Data Type for all the fields is Calculated, with the effect that the data cannot be changed by the user. The table design is not changed in the Master. What the heck? Of course the table design cannot be modified in the Replica, and there's no reason to modify it in the Master. A second replica on a different server had the same result.

I am going into the Form Design mode
Click in the subform
I then set tab order by selecting the box and moving the field up.
Looks correct and then I click okay.
The subform does not change.
I go back into design mode, click in subform and select tab order and it looks correct????

I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?

Hi.
Can anybody help?
I would like to create a custom theme for my INPUT page, however within Access 2003 I only have the option of about 20 predefined themes. I want to insert my companies' logo onto the INPUT PAGE.
What I would like is to save a template, like I have done in REPORTS, so that when I build a INPUT PAGE I can select my own theme to use, based upon my companies' logo, type face et al .,
Thanks and kind regards.
Phil Drury.

I build MS Access databases for small businesses. Generating emails from within Access is no problem - I can even use Access VBA to select specific email accounts and email signatures. However, I have not been able to find a way to use Access VBA to select a Theme that was set up in Outlook. If I create a Theme using the Outlook 2010 menu selections: Options / Mail / Stationery and Fonts / Theme, that theme is present every time I generate a new email from within Outlook. But if I generate a new email via Access VBA, that theme is no longer present - the email that VBA generates has no Theme. What Access VBA code do I need to use to select an Outlook Theme - even just the default Outlook Theme?
One thought is that if someone knows the keyboard shortcuts to select an Outlook Theme, I can do the rest. I can use SendKeys. But if there is a more sophisticated way of making the Theme appear on emails generated by Access VBA, I am eager to learn.
I am using Access 2010, by the way.

On the Windows 7 Developer desktop, the Windows Theme is set to Windows 7.On the Citrix server (for users) the Windows Theme appears to be Windows 95. It is low graphics.The boxes are square instead of rounded. The selected Form Tabs just barely highlight with a thin line while on Windows 7, the selected Tab completely changes color. A basic Message box in Windows 95 looks square and flat. The title bar is very low graphics as one would expect when graphics were not great. Is there a VBA call that can display the OS Theme that affects MS Access? URL...

I have sever forms and selecting a Theme Font work fine with all except one form.
The field is a Memo Field (I have other forms with different memo fields and they are fine) that just doesn't want to use the Theme Font(s). I have several Theme Fonts and it doesn't work with any of them.
So far I've deleted the control saved it and then put it back... no good. I even created a new form and the same thing happens.

Hello everyone. Im relatively new to access, i've only been using it for a few weeks. There are certain aspects that I cannot get my head around.
Is anyone willing to let me email them what I have done so far and the criteria for the database I am making and advise me where I am going wrong and where I need to be heading to get it right?
Thanks very much. Any help will be very much appreciated.

When creating a database is it true that ideally i should avoid using the lookup wizard at table level and instead do that with combo boxes at form level ?

Hi
I have three tables
1 tblAssistFMWork in which is stored the fields JobNumber, SiteRefNumber, SurveyorNo
2 tbltable1 which has the field SiteRefNumber, Address1, Address2 etc
3 tblAssistFMSubJobNumbers which has the fields JobNumber, SubJobNumber.
JobNumber is the relationship between tables 2 and 3 and SiteRefNumber is the relationship between tables 1 and 2. There are other fields in each table but these are the relevant ones for this question.
Each JobNumber will have a minimum of one SubJobNumber but may have many. Each SubjobNumber starts at 1 for each new job so this may look like this in the table
JobNumber SubjobNumber
0001 1
0002 1
0002 2
etc
Each SiteRefNumber may have one or many JobNumbers
I wish to enter the date a SubJobNumber is completed and have been struggling with pulling the record into a form using a combo box because of the need to enter the JobNumber and also the SubJobNumber. So I decided to create a new table tblAssistFMJobDateCompleted which has the fields
JobNumber, SubJobNumber, DateJobCompleted
I need to report on a jobs status ie done or not done, but when I created the query for this it would only pull the records which have a completed date on them.
Could someone please give me some advice as to a way forward.
Thanks
Richard

I have been reading other posts, and this where i should have started from the beginning,I am not very experienced with access (or forums as yous propably know) but can learn anything in no time (hopefully).
I would like to design a database to store all the info about a drag racing event including;
event info (Event name, track name, event date)
car info (Car name, gearbox type, diff ratio, engine name,)
driver info (driver firstname, driver lastname)
Engine info (make, model, engine compression, carburetor, front carburetor jets, rear carburetor jets, fuel pressure, engine timing at idle, total engine timing)
Race info (track temperature, relative altitude, milibars, humidity, air temperature, tyre type, tyre size, tyre pressure hot, tyre pressure cold, stage RPM, shift RPM, reaction, 60foot time, 330foot time, 660foot time, 660foot MPH, 1000foot time, elapsed time, elapsed MPH, comments.)
My issue is design of tables and relationships. as you can probably see, obviously cars will do many runs at each event, and there engine setups and car setups(diff ratio) can differ each run. there might also be different drivers for the same car. weather info like track temp etc also change from race to race so I think it is possible I might need some sort of race time as-well. My main reason for the database, apart from organizing all my results would be so that I could do a run at an event and search previous races by the current runs weather info (relative altitude, milibars, humidity, etc) as to set the car up similar to keep its elapsed times consistent. Please, please, please help as I am at a total loss.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi all
I've created a database from scratch. No data attached anywhere yet - I'm planning to input the data manually through my Form.
Well I have about 15 tables - CustomerInfo_tbl is the main table with the field RefNumber my primary key (it's an Autonumber which is sequentual). The rest of the tables are normal tables which I plan to link.(these tables also have RefNumber fields which are LongInteger) All the tables have about 10 fields in them.
So then I have 2 choices - I can make one big table (about 150 fields) or 15 tables with 10 fields each and the join them. I heard somewhere that it's better to have small tables and then link them up. So I'm going the smaller tables route.
I'll tell you what I did. I joined all the tables to my CustomerInfo_tbl with a one-to-one join. Then I made a Query, and then I set the RefNumber of the other tables equal to the RefNumber of my CustomerInfo_tbl.
I have 1 problem. When I enter some data into the form (I do not enter all the fields I leave some blank) it isn't displayed in the query, but it is displayed in the appropriate table. Only when I enter all the fields it is displayed in the query correctly and also in the tables.
Any help? I hope I made my question clear enough.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Hi, i got back to working on databases again for the first time in years and ive got confused on the offset.I went to set about desigining my tables and cant figure out how to do it.most of its simple stuff however this one bit stumps me.
Im designing a database to hold stock information in work we manufacture parts for rally cars and when a customer rings up i need to have the price at hand.I can store the prices etc of individual parts,however some people request kits which would have there own stock number and all the same relevant data i.e. Item Name,Type,Cost,Number in stock,Selling Price.......
These kits would consist of several items from the stock table.and when a kit is sold it will be inserted into the Sold Items Table together with the other individual parts a Customer may order.
Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Hi all
I have a new project but before I get started, I need some advice on design.
I'm designing a student report card which I'll implement for 1300 students next year. The concept is an ongoing electronic markbook where teachers update the progress of each student and then at the end of the year print a report based on the captured data. The data is then passed on to the next teacher the following year.
My problem is data storage. During the course of a year a teacher may mark off up to 550 things a student can do. After 7 years of schooling (7 x 550) this amounts to a large amount of data. The thing is, I could reduce the number of fields if the multiselect list box stored multiple pieces of data. Option groups are no good because only one piece of data is stored and I certainly don't want thousands of check boxes.
Basically, I'm looking for a way to store multiple pieces of data in the one field. I'm also looking for a way in reducing the amount of clicks (i.e. one click instead of 2 to enter data)
I can't delete data because it's an audit requirement to keep it.
Any ideas??
I appreciate any help
