Search Tool Help

May 14, 2006

Hi all,

I found this search tool example on this forum which works for my situation. Can someone tell me what changes I need to make so it works with my date field. When I search for data based on Last Name, First Name, or Account # the records appear fine, but when I click on one of the records I get this error message. " Could not locate [8/1/2005]". I would actually like to be able to search by the date field also. Can someone help me modify the database to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance.

A Really Cool Idea....If It Is Possible

Jun 12, 2006

Hey everyone,

I have a crazy idea that I think would be very cool if I got it working, but have no idea where to start. I have a database that is broken down into a front end and a back end, and there are about 10 users who use it off and on throughout the day. This database has an entry form to enter new records. I am wanting to put a text box or a label on that main form that would turn green if the database was in use by another user, besides the one that was currently looking at the form. It would be red if there are no other users accessing the database. Is this even possible? Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Check Box Tool For Forms

Apr 20, 2006

please see attachment.
I created a small database to help explain my issue.

When I click on the check box in box 1(train), the text box turns blue...great...and even better the other records stay clear when I scroll down, which is what I want to happen.
But when I scroll back up, from dog to train, the blue in the train box has gone- not what I want!
I would like the blue to stay in every box that I click on. Any ideas?

Thanks,

J

How To Make Your Own Custom Tool Bar

Aug 30, 2005

If I wanted to build a database in Access can I make my own file bar. Let's say that I wanted to build a gun inventory but wanted the tool bar at the top to have the specific files I want people to click on. How is this done? Is it done with another program used as a developer with Access database? Hope this makes sense.

Access Lookup Tool

Oct 31, 2006

Hey there,

I am wondering if there is somekind of tool that can be used in access that can run and locate any queries that are redundant and not used within a system. Also if there is any kind of tool that can be run that identifies fields that are in tables that are also not used in the application!

Not sure if such software exists but thought id ask before i manually begin to go through the application, this is all done to be done before normalisation of the application data and upgrade of the system

Thanks in advance

Linked Tables - Looking For Tool

Feb 21, 2008

We have a nasty number of access databases spread around our network and linked to each other like a giant spiderweb.
I can easily open an database and using linked table manager find out what is attached and from where.
I need some sort of tool that will tell me where a table is linked to.
IE - you have a master database that holds the data. You have several other databases that are linked to the master data and run queries, reports etc. I need to find out where the master data is used.
Any ideas?

Reporting Tool Selection

Nov 19, 2004

Hi all,

I want to display data from a database I have in MS Access. Any ideas on what sort of tool I can use to display the data locally? Can I get a free VB dev tool anywhere?

Access's reports and data access pages just aren't flexible enough for me. I know ASP and SQL well, but I don't want this database to be stored on our server.

Thanks for any feedback.

Custom Tool/Menu Bar Added

May 25, 2005

Hey..

I'm having a rather strange problem that no one can fix, apparently. My teacher is even baffled :S.

Basically, I created a custom menu bar, took off some of the defaults, but now I am having a problem. I deleted the original custom menu bar and now I am posed with the following error when my database is loaded (I am using an autoexec script that opens the switchboard).

Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks a lot, again, guys :).

Access As A Research Tool, Not A Database

Apr 4, 2006

I have a research project. I need to capture numerical values from a scroll bar into a table so they can be used to produce excel charts. I can capture the data no problem, my problem is how to present it in a user friendly format - a form.

I have to capture the following data via a form for each research respondent:
Name
Age
Sex
Occupation

Each respondent is then asked to rank five brands against seven different attributes. In format terms, my researcher wants to display one attribute at the top of a page with five brands listed underneath with the slider beside each brand. For example:

"The Worst IT Information" is the attribute at the page top
"Microsoft" is the brand, with a slider beside it so the resondent can select how much they associate/rank this attribute with Microsoft.
"Adobe" is the second brand with slider
"PaintShop Pro" is the third brand with slider
"Corel" is the fourth brand with slider
"Sage" is the fifth brand with slider

The same respondent then clicks to the next page which has a new attribute at the top, but with the same five brands underneath to rank the attribute against.

eg "full of bugs" is the attribute at the page top
brands and sliders are all as above

There are seven pages in all. At the end of the data collection I need to be able to find the average ranking for each brand against each attribute and apply the demographic information, for example

Microsoft had an average ranking of 7 out of 10 against the attribute "Worst IT INformation" against women 30Plus.

I can't figure out how to do this without collecting the information into tables called PageOne, PageTwo, PageThree, PageFour, PageFive, PageSix, Page Seven and using fields like: brand 1 (text), brand 1 (value), brand 2, (text) brand 2, (value). This seems to fly in the face of how you would normally create a table and will require queries to add together all the values gathered using different fields.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might be going wrong?

How To Get Undo And Redo To Appear In Custom QAT Tool Bar

Aug 21, 2013

I am trying to create a custom QAT toolbar. Everything works except for the Undo and Redo buttons. They're giving me an error:

The specified control type 'button' is incompatible with the actual control type 'gallery' ID: Undo
The specified control type 'button' is incompatible with the actual control type 'gallery' ID: Redo

Code:
<customUI xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/2007/customui onLoad="OnRibbonLoad">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true">
<qat>
<documentControls>
<button idMso ="Copy"/>
<button idMso ="Paste"/>
<button idMso ="PrintDialogAccess"/>

[code]...

"OnRibbonLoad" is a function in a module that just opens and closes a dummy form.If I take the Undo and Redo lines out of this code, it works fine. No errors.

FMS Access Visual Agent Backup Tool

May 12, 2005

Have you guys ever used this scheduling tool from FMS Software that will do a nightly archive and compact/repair.

I tried it out on our live database (not so smart I guess) on a Friday and when I came in Monay it was corrupted. It seems to point to the FMS software corrupting my db.

I wanted to validate and use this software but ain't sure it I will now.

I like the nightly compact/repair. Is there another way to do that with Windows Scheduling or something?

Take a look:

Looking For Advice About Using Access As A Document Retrieval Tool

Mar 1, 2006

Our organization (a University) has been engaged in becoming "paperless."

As part of that initiative, we have spent the past several months scanning several hundred thousand pages of documents relating to building systems (HVAC, e.g.) as well a a massive quantity of detailed lead and asbestos surveys and abatement records.

The initiative is indeed reducing the quanity of paper stored in binders and file cabinets, however now it is becomming evident that retrieving some of that information is a real problem for some folks.

At a meeting this morning a question arose about whether we could develop an Access application to retrieve the documents (which are very logically filed on a network share, but it seems to be beyond the compreshension of some staff how to actually navigate through the maze).

My question is this: has anyone in this forum ever tried to implement such a solution with Access?

Any advice or insight would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Disable Tool-Bar Menu - 'Delete Record'

Apr 20, 2006

Hello Everyone,
Before I pose my question I would first like to applaud and thank this forum for the excellent and timely help it has provided me so far. The assistance I have received to date, from you as members, and via the search facility has been extremely helpful particularly as I am new to this type of stuff…

My question is this...
I would like to disable users from selecting the 'Edit - Delete Record' facility from my main form upon its load. From searching the various forums I found a method upon which to disable the whole 'Edit' menu but not the specific 'Delete Record' function. Please accept my sincere apologies if this has already been posted but I simply cannot find it readily via a standard/refined 'search'. It might be the fact that I am phrasing the question incorrectly?? I don't want to severely restrict my users by disabling/hiding the whole menu but would rather limit them to accessing this option via a password protected command button?

What I have found so far.
Private Sub Form_Load()
CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Edit").Visible = False
End Sub

Any assistance/guidance would be very much appreciated

Kind Regards – Best wishes to all of the registered site members

CarolW

Under Tool/Startup.., Security Disappear, I Want It Back

Sep 13, 2006

Hello Access experts,

I am using MSAccess 2002. I have removed the tables and queries to reduce file size. I have set database password as "planning". In the form named "Form1" I have created a Shift-Key Enable/Disable button with password "SIMON". In Menu Starup, I have also disallowed Display Database Window, disallowed Built-in Toolbars and disallowed Toolbar/Menu Changes. Now I have problem because I cant unset the Security password and make changes in Startup.. because the Menu Tool/Security, Startup..etc have disappeared. How do I get them back again?

Thanks in advance.
