Mouse hover over control will not pop up the standard yellow window
with tips entered in the control's ControTip text property.
I tried to bring the control to the front but that doesn't work either.
At one time I disabled all bars and menus to have control over which
ones appear for this application. However, I removed the registry
entries for all preferences for the current user and the popups still
dont appear.
Is there a way to disable/enable this functionality either by some
configuration change in tools/options or programatically using
Application.SetOption?
On my Form I have a comman button with ControlTip Text that advises the user of what will happen when they push the button. Could someone please tell me why the Text is now not appearing when I put the mouse over the Command button? Thank-you for any help given.
Just tried out ControlTip Text on some command and toggle buttons. The text pops up on some but not on others and I cannot determine what the difference is (the properties are essentially the same except for name, caption etc). What buttons work and what do not seems random but if I copy/paste a button that works, the copy always seems to work.
Did a quick search and it appears that this is not unheard of but could not find any solutions to the previous queries.
I've "Detect & Repair"-ed Access, I've created new forms, and new forms in new databases but to no avail, none of my ControlTips are visible.
The only Knowledgebase article that I found was Q232191, but this deals with the situation when a control is put on top of another one, and this has not happened in any of my circumstances.
I am using a update query to update a table from another table. This query however will works only if I set the allowzerolength to yes in the table design otherwise validation error message will appear. This means that I cannot use the "Is Null " anymore because this empty space " " can appear. Is there any a way i can filter out those empty fields in the query design then? Thank you for your help.
Is it possible to do a criteria like the "Between" to pull data like a work order number?
Ex WO#: WO5551212
I would like to be prompted to enter a Work Order Number when I run a query, then have the query display all of the data for that particular work order number.
We are creating a simple database to maintain driver license information for faculty, staff, and students who use cars from the university’s motor pool.
To do this, I have created two tables: tblDRIVER and tblLICENSE.
The fields in tblDRIVER are: pkfDriverIndex strLastName strFirstName strInitial strAddress1 strAddress2 strCity strState strZIP datBirthDate
The fields in tblLICENSE are: pkfUpdateIndex fkfDriverIndex datDateUpdated strState strLicNumber datExpirationDate ynViolations ynActive
Information about the driver is stored in tblDRIVER and the driver’s license information is stored in tblLICENSE. Periodically, we run a report that identifies drivers whose licenses are due to expire within a certain number of days. All this works fine.
My problem is that I am trying to create a lookup form that will load from a data entry form that will permit the Motor Pool Clerk to look up a driver by name and review the licensing information (which appears as a subform).
All this sort of works- I am using a combo box (based on a query) to look up a driver’s last name (which it does) and to populate all the driver’s information on the look-up form (including license information in a subform). Currently, the combo box locates the driver (including the unique index, last, and first names), and populates the form with first and last name but the rest of the information is not displayed on the look up form. Worse still, sometimes one driver’s last name matches up with the first name of the next driver listed in the table! This seems to happen only if a look up is attempted more than once. What gives.
Hi, I added some new controls into existing form. I made sure I added those new control names to Table source as well. For some reason, I dont get the values either in the form or in table. Please help. Thanks. By the way, how can I attach an attachment in this forum. This if first time for me in this forum.
I have an expression in one column of my query and It keeps returning a negative result and there are no negative numbers in the source data. Can anyone help. I just want to sum the sums the two IIf expressions, but its not working. Thanks
Other Qty: Sum(IIf([QSum]![ACCOUNT]=2 And [QSum]![ICUNIT]=95 And [QSum]![UNITS]="ITEM(S)",[QSum]![QUANT],Null)) Or Sum(IIf([QSum]![ACCOUNT]=2 And [QSum]![ICUNIT]=100 And [QSum]![UNITS]="ITEM(S)",[QSum]![QUANT],Null))
I’m a newbie to Access, I have done some simple things but I now have to do something that is out of my league.
I work in an engineering company and I'm trying to make a database that the engineers can select a specification quickly, a specification or spec is like a table. Things like materials, ratings, pipe Schedule, etc are stored in it. The spec says how strong a pipe will be.
When selecting a spec you have to look at the service (what the pipe is caring, eg high pressure steam, or low pressure water). Services also store things like Design Temperature and Design Pressure.
You are giving the Service, and you have to select a spec that will be able to handle the Design pressures. To do this you compare the Design pressure to the Maximum allowable Pipe pressure (it is calculated at the join (flange) as this is the weakest point).
One other pike of information is the Tables that have the Maximum allowable Pressure. To find the Maximum allowable Pressure, you need to know the Material, Rating and the Design Temperature. Each material has its own table.
If you have a look at the attached file then in tables, SPec has Spec ID (Spec) which is Primary Key. Flange Material (FlangeMat) and Flange Rating (FlangeRating).
The Flange Material should take you to another table, FlangeMat. This table is used to get you to the correct Maximum allowable Pressure table.
There are 2 Maximum allowable Pressure Tables, TABLE_211 and TABLE 212. Here the rest of the information from the Spec is needed (Flange Rating (these are the field names with 150, 300, 1500, etc numbers)). And also the Design Temperature is needed of the service.
Then it looks up the Maximum allowable Pressure from the Table and displays it. I was thinking a form.
Also the design Pressure needs to be displayed so the engineer can compare the two.
So for the form, there will need to be a drop down that has the Service, A drop down that has the Spec, and the two values, the Design Pressure and the Maximum allowable pressure.
All I have done is shown on the file, I started to play around with the Relationships and tried to create a Form but I could not get it to work so. I deleted it and left it with just the tables. If possible can someone please help me, maybe even get my file to work and the post the working one, I will then be able to understand it.
The company I work for uses A97 throughout. Although on my laptop I have Access 2003. I want to design my inventory control database using A2003 not 97 for obvious reasons. I know A97 users cannot open a Acess 2003 db.My Q is: If I created a A2003 db and also built some data access pages within the database and placed it on my server, could users view/add/edit records in the db via these pages using their web browsers? This would only be required across our small network of less than 10 users.Any advise welcome. Even just a YES or NO would help Many thanks.
I need to create some conditional formatting on a field that will change the colour depending on how much money has been spent
I have MaxBilling As the Field I want to attach the condition formatting too which can be a user entered value or system updated depending on other things.
The Current worked costs total field Is Called Text119.
when a project starts The Cost will be 0 so I don't intend to assign a colour there.
when the Costs get to 50% of MaxBilling I would like to change the colour to Green
70% Chances to yellow 90% Would change to Dark Red
I can do most things but %'s and me don't mix well LOL
I have two database which are very similar. They both use the same back end table. I have a query that I developed in one db and it works correctly there. However, when I import it into the other db, I get the Ambiguous Outer Joins message. I've tried copying the SQL from one and pasting it into the other and that didn't help. I've checked the table used and they are all properly linked in the second db. Any ideas about what could be going on?
I have created a query thats initiated by a command button from a form and one of the criteria for the query is a 'Like' command.
On the form, various option buttons and combi-boxes determine the search criteria and put it into a hidden textbox. Then, the query is run based on the contents of that hidden textbox using 'Like'.
However, I cant seem to get the 'Like' command to work with the contents of the hidden [forms]![frmSearch].[txtSearchcriteria] field.
Do I need to edit the VB code on the form to format the text to include the Like '* prefix and *' suffix, or should my search box remain basic text and have the Like command in the query ??
I seem to have tried loads of variations incorporating the various components of the Like command (the asterisks, single quote marks and even the Like command itself) on either the Form field or query but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas ??
I have a form with two textbox, when I type something in textbox, the second textbox is filled with database query "SELECT MAX...", this works in one PC but doesnt work in other...
i am trying to run an append query in SQL which appends a calculated value into another table 50 times incrementing the day by one day each time. When I run it it asks me for the parameter [NewDay] each time. It is obviuosly not picking up the variable.
Can anyone tell me why ?
Dim NewDate As Date Dim n As Integer
For n = 0 To 50
NewDate = Date + n
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO InventoryEvolution ( SAP, Stock, [Date] ) SELECT UK_Product_Estimate_Live.[RE SAP Code], ((Sum([Estimate01])+Sum([Estimate02]))/50)*-1 AS Stock, NewDate From UK_Product_Estimate_Live GROUP BY UK_Product_Estimate_Live.[RE SAP Code] HAVING (((UK_Product_Estimate_Live.[RE SAP Code])=513450))"
I created a database in MS Access 2000 for the company I work for. I sent this database from the US to our sister company in the UK, and the gentleman there has no right-click access within the data entry form. Is there something that needs to be turned on or a check box that needs to be checked for right-click access within the program?
I need a database that will contain employee names and three job titles they will choose.
When a Job comes open I want to search the entire database and pull together a report that will show every employee that has chosen that job as one of his her three choices sorted by hire date.
I also would like a seperate table with the job titles and position codes that can be filled in automaticaly on the main form by typing the position code.
I have a database started with some of this but I can't get it to work right! First I haven't got a clue how to make the job choice combo boxes link to the three textboxes on the form where the job titles chosen will be displayed.
SELECT Table1.T1Field1, Table1.T1Field2, Table1.T1Field3 FROM Table1, Table2 WHERE (((Table1.T1Field1)=[Table2].[T2Field1]) AND ((Table1.T1Field2)=[Table2].[T2Field2]) AND ((Table1.T1Field3)=[Table2].[T2Field3]));
I took this code off another thread, and wodnered if it would work for mine. I have two tables in the database, one is data we update monthly the other is data we get send monthly, each customer has a unique id, but not customer id's are included in the data we get sent. I need to match the customer by their id then the name and then the product group.
So firstly i want it to check the id if there is an id match then i want it to look for the product group. If there is no id i want it too look for the name then the product group. Will the code above work by doing this. Thanks
Hi all, I get this error "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'SITENAME' as part of an aggregate function."
The query is:
SELECT o1.name AS SITENAME, o1.vertical_loc/10000000 AS LAT, o1.horizontal_loc/10000000 AS LON, c.CELLGLID AS CELLID, 'traffic_total' AS Expr1, sum((MEBUSTCH_HR+MEBUSTCH_FR)*period_duration)/sum(period_duration) AS Traffic, 'traffic_hr' AS Expr2, sum(MEBUSTCH_HR*period_duration)/sum(period_duration) AS Traffic_HR FROM objects AS o1, objects AS o2, c_bts AS c, p_generic_cell AS p WHERE c.int_id = o2.int_id and o2.parent_int_id = o1.int_id and p.bts_int_id = o2.int_id GROUP BY SITENAME, LAT, LON, CELLID, Expr1, Expr2;
I know the problem is with the group by clause. In MySQL it just works using "group by p.bts_int_id. I learnt in access i have to include all non-aggregated fields in the group by clause, and that's what I've done!! WHY!!Please help me!!!
