Database Appearance Changed
Mar 20, 2007
Hi,
Yesterday something wrong happened with my computer and got hanged!
I called a hardware person and he corrected the O/s. I am using XP (O/s) and office 2003. The hardware person told me that he has not changed anything in msoffice.
I have already created some applications in access 2003.
I have observed that the application swithboard appearace is changed and buttons on switch boards are looking now like access 2000. Then I checked for database window. The Table, Query, Form, Report etc are looking like access 2000 window.
I have captured present screen and my earlier screen how it was.
Can anyone help me to get original display of my swithboard ?
Thanks in advance..

Have now graduated to 2003 from 97 and was wondering if there is a way to configure the main Access menu so it doesn't look like cartoons. I hate the default "bubble" look...I don't know any other way to describe it at the moment, other than to say that the menu looks XP-like. I want the normal menu and look. Thanks for any help here.
Edit: I should add that I'm running Access 2003 on a Windows 2000 machine.

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 a need to know if a user changes any data. The problem is there are 200+ forms where data can be changed.
Is there any way besides attaching the same function (user defined, Public) to each after update event for each form??
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a UNION query of multiple tables:
Select * From tblCal_SlsAB
UNION
Select * From tblCal_SlsBC;
Both of them have Unique IDs as PK, such as: AB001, AB002, etc for tblCal_SlsAB and BC001, BC002, etc for tblCal_SlsBC. When I do the UNION query I get: 1, 2, etc for both IDs instead. What's causing the ID to change and is there a workaround it? I need to get the same exact IDs I have in those individual tables. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm trying to populate a read-only field on a form with the time and date the record was last changed.
This is to acheive seeing a list of records that have been updated this week for example.
I have this at the moment:-
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Last_Updated.Value = Now()
End Sub
When I've updated a record it won't save and when I try to move onto the next record it does nothing, the button clicks but no response.
Does anybody have any idea where I'm going wrong or have any suggestions?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
I have an complex code. In this code I sent the form value 00712 with query string and an insert SQL command to an Access database. The probleme is that the number is stored as 712 in the database. I do not want that.
Does anybody know how I can avoid this?
Thx a lot.

I have a database that contains a table with all tasks made in our team and the time it takes to perform the task. I have another table with month, year and value in which I put month after month the volumes that each task handles. So, in a query I multiply the time to perform the task and the volume; month after month I have different results. However "the time to perform the task" may vary depending on processes improvements that we made. If before I had 5 minutes to perform the task and now I have 2, I change it and then the results on the query are changed for all months. I do not know if there is a way to specify that that change must be applied from the month where it is updated to the following months and not retroactively.

hi
i have two fields that are the same, but in different tables. can i create a relationship so that when one field (in stock) from the purchases table is selected, the same field in the stock table is the same value as the one from the purchases table... i hope i explained it well enough:)
i know this causes data redundancy, but is there any better way of doing this?
thanks

I hope that someone out here can help me with this. I have recently had a format change from how I received updated data for my database. I used to update my tables from TXT files. There were several update queries/macros written to import the data from 5 or 6 different TXT files into one table. Well; my source has changed :eek: The downside: I can only get my data from an XLS or CSV file now; but the upside is all the data is only in 1 file.
The macros/queries were written years ago and I've been having migranes trying to figure out how this was all done. So, i've sort of started from scratch. I can easily import the data into a table; I have even gotten our front end of the database working so it's just a click of the mouse again.
The problem I have is that the data that is in this table is linked everywhere throughout this spiderweb of a database! I was unable to import my data into the existing table because that table's field names are different than what I have in the XLS file. I get all sorts of errors when I do this. So I am currently importing into a new table. (I.E. MASS and MASS Imports)
Is there an easy way to update data from table 'MASS Imports' to 'MASS' ?? what I was thinking was to use an update query with both tables and link each line.... Or am I way off base? Is there an easier way to do this?
Thank You!!

G'Day all, I am new to the forum family so please excuse any ignorance I may have in asking questions the right way.
The following at times depending on certain values creates a negative value.
WDCCFrm: [qry Areas]![Formation Value]-([qry Areas]![Formation Value]*((100/[qry Areas]![Formation_DesignLife])/100))*(DateDiff("yyyy",[BLOCK_DATA]![YEAR],Date()))
Due to the data requirements a negative value is not acceptable, it needs to be zero. The above is part of an Asset Managemnt Program and if the WDCC (Written Down Current Cost) is 0 then the item is written off. How do I change the negative value to a zero.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards

Could someone look at my code and tell me why my “Me.TargetDate.Undo” won’t work?
First, let me say that the TargetDate field has an On-Click event that calls a module written by Allen Browne), which is shown below and works great.
=CalendarFor([TargetDate],"Select a date from the calendar ")
What happens is that the Me.TargetDate.Undo event always keeps the date selected in the calendar.
Based on something I read from Rual Guy on another issue, I’ve used the TargetDate_LostFocus routine to check for some additional data entry errors. I’ve tried moving the code in “Private Sub TargetDate_Exit(Cancel As Integer)” to the LostFocus, but it doesn’t make any difference to the Undo. I’ve also tried “I’ve tried “Private Sub TargetDate_Change(),Me.Undo…” but that doesn’t work either. :confused:
Private Sub TargetDate_Enter()
If Not IsNull(Me.TargetDate) Then
OldTarget = Me.TargetDate
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TargetDate_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If Not IsNull(Me.TargetDate) Then
If DateDiff("d", Me.DateOpened, Me.TargetDate) < 0 Then
MsgBox "You have selected a date that is before…bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
ElseIf DateDiff("d", Date, Me.TargetDate) < 0 Then
MsgBox "You have selected a date that is prior to today's date…bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
ElseIf Weekday(Me.TargetDate) = 1 Or Weekday(Me.TargetDate) = 7 Then
MsgBox "You have selected a date that falls on a weekend..bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TargetDate_LostFocus()
If Me.TargetDate > OldTarget And Me.cboAssignToID <> OldAssignee Then
MsgBox "The target date can only be changed if …bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Ever thankful for this forum,
Christine

I have come across a weird event from the 1st July.
I have a form that inputs dates into the table.......nothing special.......
Form is totally unbound and the insertion to the table is done via DoCmd.RunSQL Insert every thing has been fine until the 1st of July at this point it started saving the date into the table in American format 07/02/2013 instead of UK 02/07/2013 There have been no changes to the database at all to give me a reason why this has happened.
The Table fields are set to Date Fields.
The SQL Insert was set to Date ( #" & DATE & "# )
The date displayed on the form is in the correct format to get around this I have set the insert of the date as a string ( '" & DATE & "' ) AND how can i reformat the dates that are incorrectly inserted to the correct format as they include the date and time 07/02/2012 11:11:47
There is about 1000 lines so manual change will be a nightmare.

I have a "Search" form that I am using to search through a query in a list box of all of my Customers. Once the record that I am wanting to view comes up I highlight it and click a "View" button to bring up another form with the customers full record. When this form is open I am able to update the customer information and add User's to it if necessary.
My problem comes after I click on my save and close button that takes me back to me search form. I want to close the search form and the error I get is "The record cannot be deleted or changed because table "tblUserProfile" includes related records." I click OK and get a SECOND error stating "You can't save this record at this time. MS Access may have encountered an error while trying to save a record. If you close this object now, the data changes you made will be lost. Do you want to close the database object anyway?"I have already made my changes and saved them in the form with the customer record so am not sure why I am getting an error when trying to close the Search form.
I am using an embedded macro on the view button. OpenForm with a Where condition [tblCustomerRecord]![Profile ID]=[Forms]![frmSearchCustomer]![Profile ID]
I have the listbox bound to the Profile ID. I have not been able to get the view button on the form to work without this step.Is there a better way to view a specific record from my listbox results?

In Access 2010, I have a database with 2 tables "group" and "member". They have a many-to-one relationship with nultiple members per group. Group has identifier "ID" and Member has field "Group Code" that matches with "ID". Formerly we called this field "Bulgiin kod" but needed to translate it. When we changed "Bulgiin kod" to "Group Code", now when we expand the group records (click the + button next to the row) it gives "enter parameter value" box. I tried deleting the relationship and re-creating it but without success. If I change the Group Code back to its original value, everything works fine.
Here is another thing I noticed: if I enter the value of ID into the parameter value box, it just shows the entire Member table, regardless of the actual matches. So if I expand ID #15, and enter "15", the whole Member table displays under the record.

Within my main table / form I have six status drop down boxes and would like to record with a date and time ever time they are changed and save this data in a second table.
If I cant do this with the six drop downs, can I do it if any change has happened to the recorded.

I understand the problems that can be brought upon ones self by creating the table with lookup fields, But if the table was orginally designed with them and then the Field is then changed to a Text box instead of a Combo box will the inherent problems associated with the lookup within a table disappear?

Hi
I have a text filed on a tab control on a form. What I want to do is when the record is opened for viewing I am it changed the contents of that field. The reason that I am doing this is that I am auditing the changes in the database and any changes to any of the fields are recorded on the in this table along with the users windows username.
This would put an entry in the audit table for everytime a record was opened, even if no changes were made to the record and I want to use this information to create a last ten records form for the users to view there last ten records.
Does anybody know how I can do this.
Thanks

Hi,
Im a relative access newbie, and am updating an already created form. I want the user to be able to change the value in a field , then when they exit the field, for it to be greyed out, so that no more editing of the field is possible.
I know how to lock the field in design view, but I want the field to lock after the user has amended it. Is this possible?
Many Thanks!
