Default Value Disappears For Prim Key Field
Mar 16, 2006
Hello,
MS Access 2000 sp3
When adding a new record to an order file, I have a default value on the ordnum field. It also has a format = "9999-999". The default value is "0603-".
When the user clicks on the new rec nav button, the form has the correct default in the ordnum field "0603-". However, when the user trys to key in the remaining 3 digit sequence number (.i.e. result 0603-123), the default value disappears as soon as the use startes to type the first character. The table source is a query that links the order table to the customer table via cust num. When i use only the order table as the form source, this works ok, no issues but i see this issue when i am using a query joining two tables.
Does anyone have any ideas why or how I can correct this?
Thanks!!

Is there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.

I have a calculated field in a form that calculates the amount due. When I open the form or the record and the record has an amount due of 0, then the field says "$0.00" for a second and then disappears. Any idea why this is so? This becomes a problem because $0.00 doesn't appear on any reports either. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello all. I'm trying to finish up a database for our farm and am running into issues as I'm pretty new to Access. I know VB6 but not a lot of VBA. We spray chemicals, and need to keep track of the acerage we spray for the date.
So here's my problem:
When I go to write my records, I need to search a table for a date. If the date exists already, then I need to update the total acreage related to the date. So first, how do I search the table and keep track of if the date was or wasnt found, and if found, calculate total acreage from value pulled from table, and the new acreage value, then write that back to the table.
Would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

My database is replicated. When new fields are added to a table that is tagged as replicable, the field is there but not visible. (there are other fields that are visible) This affects queries based on the new fields as they do not show up in the query.
However, when I make the table non-replicable, I see all my previously hidden fields and of course my queries, query-based reports work fine.
Any suggestions? I've already run the compact & repair utility with no improvements.
Any help would be appreciated.

I created a database which was working well. I then added my data and it still seemed to be working well. Since then I have made quite a few other changes, but only to queries realting to the subform.
When I cycle through my main records the subform shows and displays all the info. But when I get to the end to add a new record, the subform disappears.
Any ideas as to what I've done?
Thanks

I inherited this database and I can't figure this out so I'm looking for some causes.
the database is in one .mdb file, the interface in another and links to the database via the linked table manager.
The tables aren't normalized, nor was there any attempt at relational integrity (Strike 1). Thats obvious
But what isn't so obvious is that data in fields just disappears, it'll get entered, verified and a couple weeks/months later, its just gone and no one claims responsibility for taking it out (and in 99% of cases, we wouldn't)
It is a multi user database but there are only 10 people in the office and I doubt more than 3 are ever connected at once. And most of the time is only one of us at a time based on our schedules.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to advise the bosses that we take the time to start over with sql server, normalize the tables and take better care of developing the forms (in .net)

In the form view of the db I have a bound box for an embedded ole object
I use it to embed Word documents for each db entry (The database is for works of art and the Word document is the description of each work of art which often contains Chinese Characters, hence the Word Document)
The box is set to show an icon (The Word Icon)
Upon entering the data and moving off the record, subsequent return to to the record sometimes shows that the icon is gone from the box, it is blank.
Clicking the blank box brings up the Word Document but then closing the Word Document and re-clicking the blank box dos not bring up the Word Document.
The standard message saying that the ole object is empty appears and all the data from the Word Document is lost.
this has only happened since moving to Office 2007. I upgraded the db to 2007 format and we are using Word 2007.
A Google of the symptoms doesn't bring any meaningful results, does anyone have any ideas?
I tried to keep this as short as possible (which wasn't easy) if you need more info just ask
Thanks

In Access 2010, I can't get a form to show up in Pop Up mode without it disappearing. Tried several solutions (most from this message board) with no luck, including:
Set Modal = no
Set Auto Resize = no
Set Auto Center = no
Set Border Style = dialog
There isn't any VBA set to run when the form opens, only on button clicks.I'm able to call out the form to open as acDialog in vba, but this blocks additional code I need to prepopulate the form.So far this happens on all forms I try to set as Pop Up.

I am making up how to create a database as I go along so I am sure some of the techniques I have used are a bit unconventional! However, I wanted to use data from 2 different tables as control sources, so changed the record source to a query that combined the two tables. I thought this was correct as I could then apply control sources from both tables to fields.
However, now when I click out of design view and into form view, the form/database dissapears. Does anyone know why & how I could resolve this?
Thanks!

I am using Access 2010.
Whenever I come to a record that does not have any data in my subforms, then (as you can expect) my subform controls disappear.
My subforms have "Allow Additions" set to YES.
The subform tables are linked through a LEFT JOIN.
I would like the controls to stay visible even when there are no records in the subforms.
I tried to set the subforms ID to the main forms ID thinking that this will at least generate an autonumber to make the subforms controls visible, but it did not work

Hello. I am looking for a way to make a field value automatically default to
the value of the immediate prior field. For example, I am in record 11, and
in Field "City" I type "New York." When I create record 12, I want
City to automatically default to "New York." Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

I have a calculated control on a form that is summing other controls and then a subtotal on a subform. This is access 2007
The calculated control does not display the value until I enter a value other then the default in all of the source controls. If I hit the "refresh" button, the value appears in the calculated control for a moment, then disappears.
I have set the default of the source controls to be 0, so none are null.
the calc control value does not stay until I put a value in the subform and its subtotal thus has a value

I have two related issues with reports. That is the data shows in report view and then disappears. The first is the simplest. I have a report that has a query recordsource and I calculate totals and populate the report in the OnLoad event using VBA code. This displays perfectly in "report view" and prints or exports fine. My issue is that after the print or export, the report has no data in my fields in "report view". It is like it is reloading the report without invoking the OnLoad event. When I close the report and re-open in report view, everything is fine again until I print.
The second issue is related. I have another report that is a bit more complicated. Due to the number of controls (I use many text boxes to display my calculations), I am using 3 subreports to get around the limitations in the number of controls. In report view, the report looks fine, but when I scroll down to the bottom and then back up, the text boxes in the subreport sections are empty. The parts of the report not in subreports is fine. By using "Msgboxes" in events, I discovered that when I scroll down, the subreports close, then re-open when I scroll back up. Again, due to an Access limitation of 22 inches per section, the I placed the subreports in the "report Header" section. It appears that my problem occurs when I scroll down to the "detail" section of the main report.

I have a simple SQL query that is e-mailed when there are >0 records. Fairly consistently, the SQL code in the query is wiped out and the query fails. It happens consistently to this query, even though I have many similar queries. I am running Access 2013 in Windows 7
SELECT AR.[Inv#], [History Header].[PO#], AR.[Customer Name],
AR.Date, AR.Mdse, AR.Freight, AR.Amount, AR.[Due Date]
FROM (AR INNER JOIN [History Header] ON AR.[Inv#] = [History Header].[Inv#(number)])
LEFT JOIN [Advanced Engineering Payment Reminder Sic]

For example if I open up the Access database on my left monitor, then move it to my right - whenever I switch from design to form mode the form disappears. Moving Access back over to the left monitor will not show the form. Minimizing all windows except Access won't show it either. If I switch to layout view, then form view it will show on the monitor I have Access up on - but if I go back to Design and then form it will disappear again.
If I move Access to the left monitor (in this example). open the form in design and then form view it pops up visible. Seems clear that it ties the opening position of the popup to the monitor Access was opened on.

I have a footer in my Report that contains subtotals. I'd like to add a textbox that says "Total" to my report, and although this label shows up when I view the report, it disappears if I export to Excel. How to prevent the label from disappearing when I export? (Attached a screenshot of my report's design.)

How do I make sure that for every record entered, a certain field automatically has a number 1 in it? I thought that it might be that you set the Default Value to 1 by typing "1" in the bit where it says "Default Value" at the bottom of the page. But this doesn't seem to work. :o

I have two Numeric fields in my Table, MCRefill and MCTot.
Actually MCtot is the sum of all MCRefill for a given Cust_ID
I have the following expression in the Default value of MCtot in my form showing both the fields
DSum("[MCRef]","Miracle_Cloth_Main","[Cust_ID]='" & [Cust_ID] & "'")
Somehow it doesn't up in the record when you load the Last record for a Cust_ID
Can someone please help ?
