Database Not Working After Adding Attachment Field?
Aug 5, 2013
I created a database a while ago which has been working just fine, until I wanted to make one addition: an attachement field to one of its tables.
If I do so, some queries don't work anymore and as a result of that, some (sub)forms do not work. The only error I get is: The search key was not found in any record.
When I add an other kind of field (like a text field), the problem does not occur..
When I remove the attachment field again, everything works fine again...
hi all. i am creating a form by the name of ISSUES. i will have a field by the name of ISSUE# where user will be able to type the issue#. i was wondering if it is possible for the user to add an attachment of the issue file. in other ways to make it easier i am asking if it is possible to attach a file in a form and to view it also. any help will be really great. Thanks
I want to add a record with attachment to a table in an access (2013) database.
If I ignore the attachment error everything works as it should, but as soon as I add the code for the attachment I receive error code 3259.
Code:
Private Sub add_tune() Dim dbtune As DAO.Database Dim rst_tune As DAO.Recordset Dim rst_tune_in As DAO.Recordset Dim rs_child As DAO.Recordset Set dbtune = CurrentDb
[code]....
Since I have a dutch office version the error text (ongeldig veld gegevenstype) is in dutch, translated it means something like a data type mismatch.
t_first_bars is a field in the table tbl_tune . The field type is attachment.
I have a database with 200.000 records, how I Add Primary Key Field. I'm getting error "File sharing count exceeded..", tried to increase "MaxLocksPerFile" registry , but without success.
I'm adding to a database that someone else set up. I went to the Design View page and clicked on one of the buttons at the bottom to add a text box etc etc. It all looks fine, but the field doesn't seem to be active - if I add some text into it for one page of the databse, the same text appears on every page of the databse. I notice that my "new field" is not listed in the fields list. How do I add it? I keep looking through "The Missing Manual" but without spending 3 days reading the whole thing (which I don't have time for) and learning much much more than I need to know just to get to the part that I need to know, it isn't helping me much.
Please can anyone enlighten me? My email is stu_paranormal@yahoo.co.uk
I have access BD and every one use it through shared folder. My problem is in attachment ! , if i use the regular attachment filed in access there is one user only able to attach files and others can`t attach any thing until he finish.
I tried to do attachment through VBA like below which make it worse as it lock the DB so, no one can even open the DB and one user only access the DB .
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2 Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2 Set db = CurrentDb Set rsParent = me.Recordset
[Code] .....
How multi users attach files at the same time without locking the DB.....
I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?
I wanted to add a field of " Attachment" to an existing table an as usual, I entered field name " Attach" and the Data Type , I chose "Attachment". Then saved.
Checked with the Datasheet view, there it is, tried to click on the field , the dialog box appeared. cool
The strange part is when I want to put an attachment field in a form , there were no sub fields only one word "Attachment", there is no + or - .
I tried to add the field to the form so I can add attachments, but it stayed there like a normal field.
why my attachment field do not carry the sub fields of attachment like attachment-FileData, attachment-FileType and attachment -File Name.
I have a database for recording jobs and invoices for our transport company. I was thinking of adding an "Attachment" type field to my invoice table to store pdf's of scanned copies of the delivery notes relating to the invoice. How this will affect the performance of the database? Will adding this field greatly increase the size of the database and slow the whole database down?
I had the bright idea of creating an Attachment field for each record in my database so that the source material for the record (usually a PDF) could be opened and reviewed easily. A few people have asked me not only for the data but copies of the source files as well - is there a way to export attachments from every field into a directory instead of going one-by-one?
I have two databases that I need to merge into one. The structure of each DB is identical, however the data is different. My original thought was to import all the tables into one DB, then use Append queries to merge the similar tables. The problem is that the main table in each DB has an Attachment field (using the Attachment data-type). After doing some research, it seems that you cannot use an Append query that references a table that contains a multivalued field (such as the Attachment data-type).
Every record has at least one attachment stored in this field, so removing the Attachment field is not possible. So my question is, if I have two identical tables, each with an Attachment field, how can I combine them into one table?
The only idea I had was to write a VBA procedure that would loop through all the records in the main table and save each attachment in a folder outside the DB, then delete the attachments. I could then merge the two tables using an Append query. Finally, I would run another VBA procedure that would load each saved file back to the appropriate record in the DB. The procedure that saves the attachments would have to write the primary key for the record they were attached to in the filename (or create a new sub-folder that is named with the primary key value), then the procedure that loads the files could read that value from the file or folder name and know which record to attach the file to.
When I use the filter by form, filter by selection, and toggle filter buttons located on the ribbon, they work normally on my form, in the usual way.
However when I use the button wizard to add the various available filter buttons to my form, it adds the buttons with the correct graphics on - but in form view clicking on the buttons does not actually do anything.
I've tried running compact and repair but still the same.
I have a form with sub-forms. All the subforms work smoothly, I am able to assign students to classes, enter their late/absence data etc... But there's 1 subform that I want to include the Gender (male,female) so I have to go back to the query (see attached picture) to include the table with gender data and map it with other tables, then insert a combo box in that subform, which display the gender of the student along side with other data.
But the problem is as soon as I modify the query for that subform, all the subforms (including that one) stop working, I'm not able to enter and change anything with error like Recordset is Noteditable ( see attached screenshot).
And after I remove that table from the query and the combo box from the subform every works just fine again.
I have been using Access for quite some time now and I am able to usually work around many of the issues that come with being a small timer, like me, taking his best shot at Access; however one issue I have had absolutely no luck with is auditing a new and/or change made to an "Attachment Field". I have successfully been able to audit every type of field with the exception of the "Attachment Field".
I have a database composed of personal statistics. (name, age, height, wt, etc). I have two attachment fields. Photos and Videos. Each of these fields can contain more that one file. The size of the video attachments is starting to get me up close to the 2 GB database limit. If each attachment field contained only one file, I would convert the fields over to a path link. I'm stumped on how to move the files out of the main database to control the size, but maintain the multi-file link to my forms. How to restructure this?
I have some code that attaches any files that are in my attachment field on the current record in to a email this is great but I m starting to realise that this is take up way to much space as it hold a copy in the database and can t afford to go down the sql sever route so what I have done is added some new fields called path1, path2 ,path3 ,path4 and path5 now the user can add the files location to these text box instead of add them via the attachment field also I can now limit number attachments to each record
Code: Private Sub cmdEmail2_Click() Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem Dim OutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
[Code] ....
Some how I need to change this so it checks fields path1 path2 path3 path4 path5 on the current record and see if anything is entered in these textbox's and follow the paths and attach the files to email

I am creating a Database to track product details and inventory for items we purchase.
I have several Tables and several Forms already working properly, except for one thing.
I have a Form called "Lights", and it contains a ComboBox called Light_Name and 6 TextBoxes: Manufacturer, Model_Number, Cost, Weight, Light_Type, Notes. It also has an Attachment Field linked to the same table.
I am using the Code:
Me.TEXTBOX = Me.Light_Name.Column(#)
to populate the Textboxes with the relevant info from the Light Table.
This works for every Textbox I have.
However I cannot get the Attachment Box to change. And when I try to add code to it I get a debug error. The Attachments are PDFs and I need them to show based on the ComboBox Selection.
I have tried the same code as above, and as I said, it gives me an error.
How to add attachments to a email using a sub form were I store the attachment paths
