I am having a db whose back end is in a shared computer and front end (all queries, forms & reports etc) are on local users machines. On opening db first form openes is user id for login.
Now I need to do more on that, 1st step is - how to check who has the db running on pc. Then to refresh his form and send him some message (popup).
Can somebody take me through?
What should I do? I really don't know what filter is that.

I have a shared database and at times the database name changes to db1 when somebody is working on it. It doesn't happen all the time or with specific user.
For example if my database name is Incentive.mdb it will automatically change to db1.mdb when its opened and saved.
I have Access 2000 at home, and 2003 at work.
I can still open my file at work, but the same file at home cant be opened. It keeps giving "microsoft access has encountered an error" etc.. send error report..
Any suggesstions?
Thanks!
I have a subform inside a Form.
When I'm trying to upadate the subfrom from an event triggered by a control in Form I get the error message that subform is not opened.Why is that?
I've tried commands MoveTo or Select (subform) before update command in order to force update command to understand that subform is opened but without any result.
I guess is a common problem but I can't find the solution. :(
I have a Main Form that utilizes tabs to control several other forms by opening, closing and making them visible/invisible. One of the forms needs to be closed when its tab on the Main form is unselected. The problem is that once the form is closed, when it opens up again it opens right infront of my Main form's tab control so I need to move it down an inch to get to the tab control.
I've positioned this form where I want it and saved it numerous times. But once I select the tab, it opens up right ontop of the Main form's tab control again. I have the AutoResize set to No and the Auto Center also set to No.
Any ideas how I can get this form to stay put?
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.
hopefully someone will know what to do...
i have a form that has a bunch of check boxes and labels that are hidden to start with,and become visible when a confirmation button is pressed. Wen i set this up in the design view i.e making their visible status = false, everything runs accordingly - however when the next person comes to update their details the form will not format properly. i think the reason has something to do with the check boxes having different visibilty statuses after the initial confirmation i therefore used code on the form open event
If Check2.Visible = True Then
check.Visible = False
End If
however this tends to fail at the first checkbox, however if i then press run on the VBA screen everything else seems to then run fine and so only the first checkbox is left visible...
can anybody help....
thanks in advance i hope i have made myself clear..

I have a VB6 project that connects to a Access database. I get a run time error when I try to copy the database as a backup - "You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively..."
I need to be able to copy this database while it is still open. How do I work around this?
Thanks Steven

I have the code for sending an email but I only want to send a single email when there are records in a query and only when the database is first opened.
I hadn't considered this in my design so what structural requirements would it require if any?
I have a form that maximizes when it loads and that works fine, but when I run a macro to open it the command is bypassed. Is there a way around this?
I've tried setting the code to run on different events (open/activate) but that didn't change anything.
The reason I want a Macro to open it is so I can set the property to Add only, perhaps there's another way I can do that, perhaps as part on the form open event in VBA instead?
I have forms that show commitments by Client, by Cost Centre, by Provider etc.
If I add new commitments or edit commitments it is done through the Commitments by Client form, as all other forms lead back to this one.
To create a new or edit an existing commitment, it is done through a Commitment Form, which goes into a query (query A)which does all the calculations. My client form has subforms based on Query A, however my other forms (commitments by Cost Centre etc) have subforms which have querys that are based on Query A . I hope that made sense.
My problem is that If I edit a commitment, the client form and subforms refrlect the changes imediately, even though they are open and I can see them changing when I change the commitments. However the other ones don't unless I close them and re-open them.
My navigation within the database is based on once a form has been opened it is set to be invisible untill called on again (i.e. visible = False).
How to requery all the forms without having to close them.
I have a simple database that is on a desktop that I have a shared folder and have not had issues till now. What would cause it so say, "This database has been opened read-only." Nothing has changed. Only thing my co-worker did was reboot the machine a few days ago.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have an application that copies a mde file local and then runs it under msaccess 2003.
It runs fine as a local administrator when using the application.
When a regular user logs onto the system then it opens with a read only message. It does not create the ldb file.
The mde works fine if launched directly as regular user or as an admin.
This same application works fine on other PCs with anyone logged on.
The application is developed locally but we have lost the source code.
I have main form with everything on it using tabs and so on and everything is working fine. What I would like to do is this. Since I am jumping frequently between different records and many actions require main form to be reopened or refreshed and when this happens the form goes to random records, I would like for form to go to last record i was on before it was refreshed or opened.
I was thinking using tempVars to set the id but the problem is that I am not sure what can trigger the TempVars since I am jumping between the records and not making any changes to them.
I would like to ask if there is a way so that using vba code to be able to closed any opened form in my database.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOne of the forms in my database has a calculated text box control. The calculation is conditional, one condition being based on current date. One of the queries display that calculation. If the the form with the calcualted control is not opened before running the query, the calculated control uses the day the form was last opened as the "current date" which is not what I want. I want to do one of two things:
Either: (Preferably): update the form everytime the database is opened, so that the current date is actually the current date and not when the form in question was last opened.
Or: Update the form first before the query in question is run. This is not preferred because, if I use the calculated control in another query or something, I have to have another "update" step.

The system is about a shop which gives credit facilities to its customers and so has to keep track of payments effected by them.
I have 3 tables: Customer, Payment, Balance. The main table is Customer, with primary key CustCode which is an autonumber. It keeps personal details of the customers. The Payment table keeps details of payments effected by the customers and the Balance table keeps the overall balance for each customer. The relationships are as follows:
Customer to Payment, 1-to-many
Customer to Balance, 1-to-1
Fields in Payment table: CustCode, PaymentDate, AmtPaid
Fields in Balance table: CustCode, Balance
Problem 1
I have a data entry form for Customer. When I create a new customer record, I want a new record automatically created as well for the customer in the Balance table. How can I do that?
Problem 2
I need to produce a report on customers who have not made any payments during the previous month. I’d like to know how to do that as well.
I hope I’ve made myself clear enough. Thank you for all help.
I have two subforms in a tab formation sitting on a main form. They can both open up a single popup form (via a button) and that popup form is opened via openargs with the autoID field.
What I need to do is pass back a value on the popup forms [On Unload] event to the subform which opened it.
As the popup form is Modal, the subform which opened it can't be changed.
Am I right in thinking I can pass back the value to the form which had previous focus?
Previously, to pass a value from a popup form to a single form I've been using
Code:
If CurrentProject.AllForms("MyForm").IsLoaded Then
do this
else do this
end if
But in this instance, how do I code the On Unload event in which to tell Access which form opened up the popup form, and pass a value back to it?
I'm guessing
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
has something to do with it?
I have an issue with my subform, that when opened inside the main form, I want the form to be opened on its last record (which works) and then I want the subform to be opened on the first record regarding that record ID coming from from the main form. The relationship is many to one, coming from the form to the subform. I have tried several code on many events on the subform so it can goes to the first record, but it sometimes goes to the first, othe times ot goes to the third, i don't know why. I have tried the following:
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acGoTo, 1
En Sub
or
DoCmd.GoToRecord , idsPreguntas, acFirst 'idsPreguntas is the control name of the record
or
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst
