Combo Box Pop Up Prompt Problems
Aug 24, 2005
:confused: I would like to create a popup on my combo box to do the following:
When a serial number is entered and no records are found, it prompts "no matching record/s available" and no controls show data.
Currently, if I enter a serial and no data is found, the control options stay with the current data which doesn't match the serial. Users can't decipher if the search worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your expertise!

Does anyone know how complicated would it be too allow the user to key in the first couple letters of the last name in the combo box & have the combo box prompt names that begin with those letters?
I thought I did this before, but I can't figure out how.
I would appreciate any advice.

After I do a "DoCmd.RunSQL "Update ..."" I am asked if I really want to perform the 'Update'. Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the prompt and just carry out the query?
Thanks

I have noticed that when i am editing an object within my database, specifically a query and click to close it, it doesn't prompt me to save the changes and does it automatically. There have been cases where i do not want to save the changes and just wanted to know if there was a simple setting to turn off automatic saves?

Is it possible to put a combo box with a drop down list in the Enter Parameter Values of an update query so that the user selects from the list instead of typing the required value?

:confused: I have to build a query to do the following
my table consists of 7 fields
cg
price
gross
open
IM
state
sdate
I want to build a query that will prompt the user for 3 of those fields:
price , gross , IM
BUT:confused: when prompted I want the user to have the capability of changing the operators ie: > , < , = etc.
one time they may want
price > 100000.00 , Gross = 50000.00 , IM < 8
the next time they run it they may want:
price < 50000.00 Gross > 45000.00 IM = 4.5
Is this possible

Normally I would run a query like using 'CurrentDb.Execute' so that no user prompt occurs, but how do I avoid prompts when I need to run an update query?.
I'm using DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_UpdatePW" with no joy!

Have a master table with say
Product no Product description qty
Then I have another archive table with
Product no 1_qty Q2_qty Q3_qty O4_qty
All I want to do is to (at the end of each quarter) archive (transfer) the qty from the master
table to the archive table at a user level.
Meaning I need a control button which does the lot and I suppose prompts and asks which
quarter do I want to archive to. I know how to manually do all that, but is it possible to have
a prompt which determines what field is used i.e Enter 1 then the field Q1_qty is udated.
Hope I have explained this ok.
Appreciate some help.
Thanks Norm

I am using windows XP SP2, Office 2003.
I have created a database to store information from a mine site. I have set up a switch board and most users will just view reports or graphs that have already been designed.
I want the general users to open the file read only without having to open access and use the open read only command. I also don't want to go down the path of database security if it can be helped.
I read in the help page that there is a read only prompt that can be flashed up when the file is opened. Unfortunatly the help page suggests, Tools > Options > Security Tab (tick read only prompt). In office 2003 this option no longer exists (if it ever did)
Any ideas, would be good if i could add something to the shortcut and then have some uses use this shortcut.
Thankyou

Hi All,
I am hoping to create form that will prompt the user to enter default values for certain fields ie Week No and WB Date before allowing any data to be input into the form.
Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I was editing one of my tables in datasheet view and when I closed the table, Access asked me if I wanted to save changes. But I didn't make any changes to the design of the table or the filters I had set up. I just edited the data within datasheet view. The reason this is bothering me is that I am afraid I accidentally changed something. The only explanation I have for why it asked me if I wanted to save changes, is that I used the "undo" command to cancel a typo that I made while editing in datasheet view. When I hit "undo", it fixed the typo, and scaled back up to the first record of the datasheet. At first I thought using the "undo" command might have been the culprit, but when I re-opened the table and used the "undo" command again, it undid the change, but it didn't scale back up to the first record of the datasheet, like it did the first time I used the command. Anyway, I am staying away from the undo command from now on. It's about worthless in Access anyway, because it only undoes your last action. Have any other Access users been asked to save changes when they know they haven't made any changes to the design of the table?

Once at the beginning of each month I extract all new cases from last month into a table. The table has a generic name as I repeat this step monthly. I would like to save or archive the data each month without having to manually copy and paste the table and rename it, prior to the new extraction, so that I have a record of each month. The archived table will not be used in any queries or reports.
The table I want to copy and rename is named 'tblSampleFrame'
At the beginning of the month before I delete the contents of the 'tblSampleFrame' to pull the new data, I would like to copy the old table and include a date in the new name. How would I set up a button on a form to copy the file and prompt me for the new file name? The new name would be 'tblSampleFrame_mmyyyy' where I can specify which month and year.

I have a combo box that is populated by a query. The problem is that the query pulls data from a different database than the rest of the form and it prompts the user for a password to access this database.
Is there any way of coding the password into the form so that the connection to the database is opened automatically without prompting the user?
Thanks.

Hi guys!
When closing a form, I want my system to prompt: "Close without saving?". If yes, I want to continue the closing-proces, but when "no" is pressed, I want to just close the MsgBox-window and of course keep all the data-entries...
If MsgBox("Close without saving?", vbYesNo, "Close?") = vbNo Then XXXXXXX
What do I write instead of the X'es???

I have a database called Tables.mdb with a Make Table Query called Qmak_Tables that I want to run nightly.
I have set up a Scheduled Task to run Tables.mdb every night. I have created a Form that loads on start-up. I have created a Macro that runs the Make Table query when the form loads. I have also de-selected the confirm record changes/document deletions/action selections in Tools > Options > Edit/Find menu so the query won’t be stopped by a prompt that needs manual input. Here’s the catch:
After the query runs, it displays the prompt, “The existing table will be deleted. Do you want to continue?” How do I disable this prompt so my task can continue to run?

Query Date Field
Between [Enter Beginning Date] And [Enter End Date]
Run and enter 07/01/2014 and 06/30/2015
The return one record dated 07/01/2014
Run again enter 07/01/2014 and 12/31/2014
Return all records between those dates.
when I put in dates for 2014 to 2015 it does not return all records between those dates only the records for the beginning date, is there something I am missing asking for records from one year to another?

I keep thinking this should be pretty simple, but more than 2 hours searching through posts has revealed no answers, probably because the answer is too simple.
OK, I have an append query. I've created a prompt to enter the number of the record the user wishes to append, as it is usually one single record. However, I've recently run into a problem that now there is the possibility of needing to specify more than one record at the same time to be appended.
How do I change the criteria syntax to allow the user to enter two, three, or a dozen (if need be) different record numbers? They are not listed sequentially, so I can't use a "between" statement. I've tried separating the numbers by commas, quotes, and so forth, but can't get it to recognise the records.
Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance. :o

I have looked but have been unable to find the answer in past posts and this must be a common problem. I wish to include all records up to and including a date passed in the prompt "Criteria: <=[enter end date]". I changes the date format in the back end to short and I am in the US. However I get only dates less then the the prompted date.
Thanks for any help
Jim
