Hi there,
In one of my access application one form is getting data from some other server.
This below line of code is getting used.
Dnumber = CStr(Forms![Results Hit List].Form![RecordId]) + I
x = DDEInitiate("AEX", "ODBC")
DDEExecute x, Dnumber
Can some one please tell me how DDEInitiate is working here?
I mean AEX is the name of ODBC connection or what?
Thanks
Danny
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .

I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!
I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.
Pseudo code would go something like this.
Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID
Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously)
Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table
OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order
SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I, unfortunately, have been singled out as the Access guru in my work area. We have 223 people and the Information Manager has tasked me to modify a database he "found" to be able to track a number of things, but most important to him: performance reports.
I have posted the sample of what I currently have. What is being asked of me is a way in which to have a button or by double-clicking a block where a date would go for all other dates on the form to become non-visible while the current date stored in the computer the database is being worked from be entered in the block where the button or double-click happened. All this links to a report for the IM to be able to track what performace reports are out, and when they are due back to his section. He also wants me to be able to show which are overdue and where they are at. I am not sure if it is at all possible, but with me having spend most of last week purusing the articles on Access here, I know now that nothing is implausible if you happen to go about it the right way.
Since I have read the rules on posting, here is what I have done. I searched the forum for command button and got a lot of really cool ideas to use elsewhere in the database. I looked up the help in the program itself for command button, and got some good information on how a command button works, but I cannot make it put a date into a block. I can enter the date in any block that is a date format, but then I have dates in every block. He only wants to see the most current date in any of the blocks.
Any assistance at this point would be appreciated. If I have missed something in another thread, I apologise in advance.
how can i assign a formula to a command button?
also can anyone give me specific advice about calucalating the % of check boxes ticked across multiple records.
thanks in advance
A couple of weeks ago I asked the question of how to send a single record from one table to another (Archive table) using a command button. I got a response. I have had time to work with this a little. My problem is I keep getting a error message "Run-time error '3075'; Syntax error (missing operator) in Query expression "[New ID]='. I wanted to mention that the archive table has an "archive ID" field as well as "New ID" that links the tables. I have the following code. Please help with this if possible.
" Private Sub Command667_Click()
' Save the main record if it has not been saved.
If Me.Dirty Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
Me.Recalc
End If
If MsgBox("Do you want to archive this record?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Dim SQL As String
' Move main record to Grants Activity Archive.
SQL = "Insert into [Grants Activity Archive]" & _
" select * from [Grants] where [New ID]=" '" & Me.ID & "'"
CurrentDb.Execute SQL
Me.Recalc
End If
End Sub "
The error seems to refer to the & Me.ID section. I have tried putting Me.New ID and also Me.Archive ID. The Grants Activity Archives is the subform where I want the record to go. This subform is set up like a form with many fields so it is a lot of work to type the main record from the Grants table to the Grants Activity Archive table every time you want to archive a record. I hope that makes sense.
I have a find command button that appears to call the find and replace message box. It should be a search for anything in my query. The code behind the button looks like the find and replace message box in the office suite. I believe I am trying to create a message box where you add an entry and it searches then lauches a subform with my entries.
When I checked the button it had the following code:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFind_Click
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 10, , acMenuVer70
Exit_cmdFind_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdFind_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdFind_Click
End Sub
I read a few of the lookup queries but they only give me a drop down. Is there some way to customize the box comes up without altering all of Office or do I just sound lost.
I am a newbie at Access and I am currently learning it for my job...I have a database going and I am wanting to do two things and I can not figure it out for the life of me.
Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
hi i was wondering if anyone can tell me a condition or a command in which a user will be able to enter only 6 digit number. like 123456. if he tries to enter 234 the database should not accept. is this possible also? any help would be great.
Thanks
I am trying to count how many records has a table with a special value (SolicitaçãoID.Text) but I keep getting error:
Compile Erro:
User-Defined not defined
And it goes to this line: Dim db As DAO.Database
This is the command:
Private Sub CmdAmostra_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim intResult As Integer
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
SolicitaçãoID.SetFocus
strSQL = "SELECT COUNT (*) As RecordCount FROM Protocolo_O where SolicitaçãoID=" & SolicitaçãoID.Text
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)
intResult = rs("RecordCount")
MsgBox intResult
Amostras.SetFocus
Amostras.Text = intResult
rs.Close
db.Close
End Sub
Well i have no clue what that error means and why.
Thanks for the Help

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I use the union all command to combine 3 queries together and create a new field. I am trying to create a search that will combine the names in 3 fields and let me select any of them and pull up the records that are associated with that person.
I have written a database for an apartment complex. I am trying to simpify the search capabilities. They have 3 types of tenants, listed as HT-Head Tenant, CT-Co-Tenant & CT2- Co-Tenant 2. These fields are in a data base with all the info that applies to each apartment. I would like to be able to search from one combo box any of these tenants and have the correct information come up. Some one told me to use 3 queries and the SQL Union all command to get the fields combined into one field. But I can't get that to work. I am kind of a rookie as I have taught myself to do this so I might not be doing something correct. I was also told by doing the above steps I could use the ID field at the bound field. But not sure How to accomplish that either.
Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks
Hi,
How can I make command button on my DAP to use update query that I wrote? :confused:
I have the following sql statement:
SELECT [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].[Mfg Name] AS Mfg, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].VendorID, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].[Part #] AS [Part#], [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].ID AS PartID, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].OH AS OnHand, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].OO AS FacOnOrder, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].[90DayUsage], [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO].CustOO, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO-90].CustOO AS CustOOWithin90Days
FROM ([PhoenixInventory-FTP-1] LEFT JOIN [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO] ON [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].ID = [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO].ID) LEFT JOIN [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO-90] ON [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].ID = [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO-90].ID;
I wish to take this query and only display the Part #'s with less than 8 characters. I am pretty sure I need to use the LEN function, but am not sure on how to do it. Any ideas?
Hi everyone,
This is perhaps a simple question for which I have not been able to find an answer to. I've been trying to create a form which contain command buttons, but the problem is that the look of these buttons are not similar to those found in Windows XP.
I know it’s purely cosmetic :cool: - but how do I make my buttons in Access 2003 to look like those on my Windows XP?
I've seen some samples here on these forums which have the 'XP' look. Any hints on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Sab.
Hi
I have a option group with 6 command buttons. The trouble is when you select a button, the button stays selected, so if you want to select it again you have to select another butoon then go back to it (hope this makes sence!). Is ther a way to re-set the button so it returns to un-selected mode!!!!
Thanks in advance!
Question One
I want to create a command button in the form view that once pressed opens a folder that contains a photograph. I assume that I need to use a hyperink but how is it done?
Question Two
When in the form view and I press a 'Find ' button that I created I want to have a combo box/list box on the find. The alternative to this is that the reader has to remember all of the subjects. With a combo box/list box, or similar, the user can scroll down the list and pick and choose the subject to search for.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance on either question.
Cheers.

Hiya guys,
I have much help from this forum during my latest project, and all help has made me progress at a nice pace....So thanks guys.
The latest problems I have is to do with command buttons.
Really simple i`m sure, but could not find the answer in the search.
I have added a command button to search a refernec number field.
By Default, the search is set to "MATCH Whole Field"
Can I change this to default to "Match Any Part of Field" ???
I have looked in the code section, and cant see where this could be done... But i`m sure its just me not understanding what I`m looking at.
Thanks in advance for any help.
