Hi I have tried to look, but have not find the solution:confused:
I have a form wich I need in certain fields to have a default value, and this needs to be changed from the final user, I was thinking about taking the data from the previous input, the final user will use the control panel were there is a "push button" to open the form in add mode.
Can I get some help:D
Hi I have had a look on the forum but cannot find what I am looking for!!
I need to back up all the contents of the tables of a database in a certain folder and then restore it. The reason for all this is to be able to update the database with new features so that the final user can receive the update and restore the data.
How can I achieve this???

I am having some problems setting the default value of a field to the user name of the person logging on to the database.
I have created a *.mdw for my individual database and would like to include the current user id of the user creating a new record.
Anyone out there have any ideas how i would go about doing this?
:confused:
I currently have a network shared database. I setup permissions but only one PC shows a login screen when it starts up. The other just logins to "Admin" account which I have taken permissions away from and therefore cannot make any DB changes.
Any idea how to fhix this?
If I have a field in a table called "AddedBy", is there a way for this to default to the CurrentUser that's logged in to the database when a record is added to the table? I know you can use "Application.CurrentUser" both in the VB code and within SQL queries, but it doesn't seem to work if I put it in the "Default Value" box with the table editor. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently completed a database project and was set to launch it today for use throughout the company. The database is split, and both ends are saved in the same folder on the company server. I have copied a shortcut to the front-end file onto the desktop of each of the four user computers. Two of the four users are able to open and operate the front-end with no issues. The other two won't run the 'Default Value' formula for the "Order#" field in the front-end form. This being the case, I'm certain this is not a code issue.
Form
- Field
- Control Source
- Default Value
PO#
= [YEAR] & ["P"] & [Order#]
N/A
[code].....
When I opened the form on the two noncompliant computers the PO# field displayed #Type!.I deleted the Order# default value to confirm that that was indeed the source of the problem, and it is. When deleted, the PO# field displays "13P" instead of "#Type!".
I've tinkered around with Trust Center to no avail. And I'm almost certain this is not an upgrade/patch issue as one of the nonconcompliant computers had Access 2010 downloaded yesterday. The server and all users have Access 2010.As well, the option settings on the front-end are set to only open the form, with no editing capabilities. However, when using Shift+Enter to open the edit capable version, there is no issue; the PO# populates.
I have a text box in Form which i need user should only enter the numbers:
E.g.: When new form appears SI [space]#### should be there and even user needs he or she can change SI to PI and enter the required data.
And the data should go as SI #### or PI #### in Table Backend. The Textbox is Unbound.
I want a default value to equal the first 2 characters of field [first name] and first 3 characters of field [last name] and the numeric datevalue of [DOB] 'date of birth'.
In excel its easy,

Formula LEFT(c9,2)&LEFT(d9,3)&"-"&e9
How do I get same result in Access?
tried
Field 'PRN', a text field set as default =""""& left([first name],2}+LEFT(Last name],3), date()&""""
Access accepted the above statement but when I input user details the default doesn't work.
I've got a form (frmEdit) that allows users to search tblMain for records using a bunch of unbound controls and a dynamically created SQL statement. Search results are displayed in a subform (subMain), and the current record in the subform is displayed in a set of bound controls on frmEdit.
Now the important bit: There is a set of unbound checkboxes on my form that allow the user to change which fields are visible in subMain. This is accomplished by the following:
Code:
Private Sub chkName_AfterUpdate()
If Me.chkName = 0 Then
Me.subMain.Form.CorrespondingField.ColumnHidden = True
Else
Me.subMain.Form.CorrespondingField.ColumnHidden = False
End If
End Sub
Certain fields are visible by default, but the user may want to change which fields those are. Here's what I've done so far to accomplish this:
Created a button (btnChangeDefaults) that opens a form (frmChangeDefaults)
Put checkboxes for each table field on frmChangeDefaults
Put a "Cancel" button (btnCancel)* and "Done" button (btnDone)** on frmChangeDefaults.
*btnCancel just closes frmChangeDefaults without making any changes to frmChangeDefaults or frmEdit
**btnDone changes Forms.frmEdit.Form.chkName.DefaultValue to Me.CorrespondingCheckBox.Value and then closes frmChangeDefaults
This all seems to work quite well, actually. Debugging confirms that the default values of the checkboxes on frmEdit are indeed changed when I click btnDone. But when I close frmEdit and re-open it, the default values return to what they were prior. This happens even when:
I close frmEdit using DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmEdit", acSaveYes
I close frmEdit after using DoCmd.Save acForm, "FrmEdit"
I save frmEdit manually by right-clicking and pressing save
What am I missing here?
I think my issue is that when the user opens my form a record gets created. Thus default value will not work. what happens is; the user fills out form 1 goes to form 2 and on form 2 i want a check box default value to be true...but its always false.
the checkbox in question is adequite staff. the user gets the question, "was there adequate staff" if there was the "adequate staff box" would be true. what i have tried is i created a "dummy" checkbox (checkbox299) entitle no. and labled adequite staff checkbox as yes. on the form2 open insert the following
Code:
If Me.ADEQUATE_STAFF = False And Me.Check299 = False Then
Me.ADEQUATE_STAFF = True
Else
End If
I am almost finished this project. :p There are just a few things left that I would like to do and I need some help.
1. Add an email notification when data on the form has been edited
2. Filter the form for only OPEN orders, status not equal to 6 or 7
3. When an order is closed (status field) I would like to default the "Date Closed" to today, but allow the user to edit the date if need be.
4. Once the status is closed and the date closed is entered, ask the user if they would like to create a followup order.
I have most of #4 done. I added code on the After Update event on the Status field to set the Date Closed to today and then disable the control, then ask if they would like to create the followup order. The users would like to be able to modify the date closed if they don't happen to do the entry until the next day. I have tried adding my code to the After Update of the date (which is updated with a pop up calendar), but once I select the date from the calendar, the focus stays on the date and the user is not prompted to create the followup order.
Any help you can offer would be wonderful
Thanks

Hi, I have implemented security using a workgroup file as I have done so in the past and everything seemed to go ok except that I can still access my DB without logging in to it?
Obviously this hints that I have left some permissions on the "Admin" user somewhere but i've poured over it for the best part of an hour now and I can't find where it is. Here is my checklist, can anyone else add anything that I need to try?
All "Users" group permissions are disabled
All "Admins" group permissions are enabled
User "TKnight" belongs to groups "Users" and "Admins"
User "admin" belongs to group "Users"
I have checked all the objects ownerships and they all say "TKnight"
Now here's the bit I don't get. If I log in as user "Admin" with the password I specified using a shortcut pointing to the .mdw file I get the message "You do not have the necessary permissions etc..."
But if I try to open the DB without using the shortcut it lets me in fine and when I check the account it says i'm logged in as "Admin"
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening...
Many thanks,
Tom.
I made my Access program and it looks great on my computer.
Why does it look all missed aligned and wacky on other computers ?
These computers are not on a network...
I burned the access program to a cd and then loaded it on their
machines...we all have access 2003
thanks
I have a problem in making reports in access 2007 final.
I can't add related fields into my report.
I found this page here: http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:6mrmlLqrTu8J:office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA101078151033.aspx+access+2007+report+field+avail able+in+related+tables&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1
That says: If you have set the form or report's Record Source property to a saved query, the Field List pane displays only the Fields available for this view section (there is no Show all tables option at the bottom of the Field List pane). To edit the record source, right-click any one of the fields, and then click Edit Record Source.
What does that mean????
Here are my screenshots with the same database:

Note the "fields available in related tables" where is it in final version!!!
I've got two nested queries. One finds the oldest inspections from an import table, the second compares that query to the main table again and pulls all 'expired' inspections for each Service Order in the first.
These queries are trimmed down for the essential elements of my question. I can post the full SQL if necessary.
queryDoTheseFirst:
Code:
SELECT TOP 18 ImportTemp.[SO ID], ImportTemp.[Inspection Activity],
[Activity Created]+[AddDays] AS [Due Date]
FROM [Priority List] INNER JOIN (ImportTemp INNER JOIN
queryNeededFirst ON (ImportTemp.[SO ID] = queryNeededFirst.[SO ID])
ON [Priority List].Activity = ImportTemp.[Inspection Activity]
[Code] ....
The refinement I would like to make is, rather than having to pull TOP 18 activities in the final query, just pull TOP 12 [SO ID]s and however many activities come along with them (usually 1 or 2, averages out to about 1.5 so 18 is my compromise). In theory an inspector could have two inspections due on every single property, and would only get 9 unique addresses/[SO ID]s. But I can't figure out how to do that when [SO ID] is no longer unique in the second query.
I suppose I could 'number' the rows in the subquery and add a <=12 criteria on that calculated field, but I'm leery of the processing required (that table contains ~14,000 rows, and most methods of numbering seem to want to use DCount).
How can I see what they will finally look like while I am formatting them? All the views on offer (form/layout/design) are all displays within the the context of the access programing screens, with other windows and menus and ribbons etc. I want to see how it will look full screen. I know I can change a lot of options, change to the form as a default to open with, resave, reopen and then reverse it all but that's not really any good for doing every time you make a minor change.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have managed to sort out the data to be used in the final table. However, I am having trouble transferring the data from each of their own tables into the final table.
Each time I run my code I receive "run-time error 3021: No current record."
It seems that only my timestamp is being added properly, but the error pops up and highlights the first "rstInsert.Edit" of my code. I'm suspecting that my function is running too fast, such that it did not have time to read that the table has already been populated by the timestamp in the AddNew code

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...
We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...

I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
I have two tables. The first contains details of a budget holders money allocation for a given period, and the other tracks their spend on products over that period. How can I generate a query to calculate the total running spend for each user from the "budget spend table" that will be written into the users record in the "budget allocation table".
My aim is to show details of budget allocation, total spend to date and remaining budget for each user in an Order form / report.
Can anyone please advise me on how to do this or suggest another way of doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards Peter
I have a database for mutli users which is split. Front end is available separately for 3 users. These users make data entry in the same form from their front end form. This particular form has combo box that retrieves data based on selection in combo box and the use starts filling the data in the subform. Upto this, form is Ok, no problems seen.
But when the second user opens the same form from the split database front end stored in his computer, and once the second user selects another record from the combo box, first user's record also changes immediately to the record of Second user. Both users now have the same record even though the form is separately accessed from front end.
Dear Sir...:)
Please your help it is urgent for me.
There is to table:
First table name (UserName) with fields:
1- UserID
2- name
Second table (Website) with fields:
1- Id
2- UserID
3- WebSiteURL
And there is one-to-many relationship between them.
what I have to do if any new users register by default; it gives him URL (I have to let default more than one).:confused:
Please your help ASAP.
