I have a couple charts that I would like to show on my switchboard. Right now I only have one that is up everytime I open my database. Is there anyway to have it do a random Sub form show up everytime you open the database up? Thank you for your help. Without this forum I would have shot myself a long time ago!

Hi,
I wonder if anyone here might be able to help me out here. I've been pondering this issue for so long and i was almost giving up.
I've been getting this warning everytime i open up an Access file (.MDB) especially, when trying to open up a file that's sitting on another computers. i have a few computers and they are set up in a peer to peer environment.
I took a printscreen of the warning message and attached it to this post. Please take a look at it. It's called "access.jpg"
Is there any way of turning it off? is it to do with the peer to peer networking?
Thank you in advance
Hi -
Currently I have MS Access DB which has some Oracle database table reference using database link concept. I have entered DSN Name,user id and password which it asks when I try to run some queries which will fetch data from oralce DB linked tables.If some wants to use my MS Access DB, they need to have DSN and everytime they run queries related to Oracle database table reference, it will ask for DSN,user id and password. For this I need to share the user id and password credentials to everyone who wishes to use my MS Access DB which I don't want to. Is there a way to avoid the login window whenever some one wants to use my MS Access DB without asking for oracle user id and password credentials everytime? My ultimate aim would be encrypt password for others.
Thanks,
Ashok
I'm trying to set up a database to track a huge group of corporations. There is the parent company, then a bunch of subsidiaries below it. Some subsidiaries have another layer of multiple subsidiaries below it, some have none. Any thoughts as to how to do it???
View 1 Replies View Relateda co-worker set up several pivot charts in queries, that we now need to get into a distributable format. I had envisioned having these in a report, but access doesn't agree. Is there any way of getting the chart out of access, intact, to place in a word or power point file, or into a report? My attempts to get the chart into a report have all ended with the table-like grid coming up. Surely there's a way...
thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, okay completely new to access. I'm trying to create a chart based on a query with 1 record 8 fields. I can not figure out a way to rearrange the data into two fields 8 records.
The background is I have a hundred units, each with 8 wheels. I have a table with the following fields.
-Unit part number
-Diameter of wheel 1
-Diameter of wheel 2
-Diameter of wheel 3
-Diameter of wheel 4
-Diameter of wheel 5
-Diameter of wheel 6
-Diameter of wheel 7
-Diameter of wheel 8
So, the query tells me how many wheel diameters between a certain range, with the following fields:
- Diameter >530
- 530> Diameter >540
- 540> Diameter >550
- 550> Diameter >560
- 560> Diameter >570
- 570> Diameter >580
- 580> Diameter >590
- 590> Diameter >600
Now I want to plot the range on the x axis and # wheels in that range on the y axis of a bar chart.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? How do I create the diameter range as a record rather than a field?
Many thanks!!!
I have an application in Access 2003. It uses VBA to open an Excel file. The file has one tab for charts and one for data. The program counts how many charts needs to be created, one per project. It then will place 4 charts per tab, creating as many chart tabs as necessary, keep one data tab. The program then writes the data and links the data to the corresponding chart. It will also write legends, and scale the charts. This all works fine under Access 2003/Excel 2003.The error I get is "Application-defined error or object defined error".The line that gives me the error is: Set chCopy = xlsheet.ChartObjects(idx).I am using the Multi-Chart option frmChartType = 1
Now I'm moving to the Office 2010 world. It is not working. Below is the code I run to do the magic. I guess something is happening in Excel 2010 that is different from 2003.I found when I comment out the error line, and other lines dependent on chCopy it creates the charts, but all the charts are pictures and not charts!!
Code:
Public Sub GenerateChart()
' Generate an Excel chart
Dim db As Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim xlapp As Object
[code]...
How can I get a form to open when the database opens?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've developed and used over the past 20 years to handle my home finances. It includes several charts that were probably created back in Access 2003, which I used up until a couple of weeks ago when I subscribed to Office 365 Home and set up Office 2013, including Access.Most things worked without a hitch. In fact, all my old VBA code seems to run just fine.
However, the charts don't work. The right side of chart gets cut off way short of the margin both in print preview and report view. Everything else looks fine and the data is correct.
I've fiddled and fussed and fangled with zoom, clip and stretch. I've tried to resize the chart area - it just snaps back. I've tried everything I can think of based on 20 years of fussing with Access charts - which has always been a major pain - without success.
I am using this code it is giving me error 3828 at the line marked red. Says cannot reference a table with multi-valued field using an IN clause that refers to another database. Query has fields which gets input from combo box but only one value is saved in it.
Code:
Dim xl As Object ''Excel.Application
Dim wb As Object ''Excel.Workbook
Dim ws As Object ''Excel.Worksheet
Dim ch As Object ''Excel.Chart
Dim myRange As Object
Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
[Code] ....
I am using an Access 2003 database to create a Word report that contains Graphs. We have since moved to Office 2010, and now the vba code will not select the graph and populate the data, i presume this is because the data is no longer in a datasheet but Excel itself.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen one user opens his ACCESS file, it opens in Notepad. He uses ACCESS 2003.

Any one knows how this setting can be changed to open with MS ACCESS?
I have a pesudo forum running on a server which sends emails automatically to a group to indicate that there is a new posting - much like any forum...
I would like to include a link in the email (automatically) that will open the Access Forum and point directly to the relevant post...
I searched the forum but was surprised to find that this question hasn't been raised before... so I'm worried? :p
I know I will get a hundred links from the Mighty Moderators now saying I didn't look properly - as my old mother used to say :rolleyes:

I have created a series of pie charts in reports based on queries. The data that is being charted are agree, strongly agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, and strongly disagree. I want the colors for these to be consistent in all the pie charts but they are coming out different colors on each chart: i.e., agree may be blue on one pie chart but yellow on another pie chart. How can I change the colors either in the pie charts or legends so that they are consistent on all the pie charts?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the forms in my database has a calculated text box control. The calculation is conditional, one condition being based on current date. One of the queries display that calculation. If the the form with the calcualted control is not opened before running the query, the calculated control uses the day the form was last opened as the "current date" which is not what I want. I want to do one of two things:
Either: (Preferably): update the form everytime the database is opened, so that the current date is actually the current date and not when the form in question was last opened.
Or: Update the form first before the query in question is run. This is not preferred because, if I use the calculated control in another query or something, I have to have another "update" step.
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
I was trying to access this particular MS-ACCESS file which serves as a DB for a software. But the file opens and closes in a split of a second and was impossible to view its structure. :mad:
I beleive it's made to respond so by the programmers in order to hide the content. Can anyone please help me open this file? PLEASE...

A form that used to automatically open when the db was launched has been deleted. However, the instruction to load the form is still in the db. I would like to remove that instruction, but I can't seem to find where to look for that code. In Access 2007, I went on DB to the Database tool menu, but its not in the switchboard manager.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem running Access 2007 runtime on a workstation. I have set up the 2007 database (.accdb) on our server and am able to connect to it and open it from the pc that has Access 2007 full version installed and it works fine.
I also installed Access 2007 runtime on another PC and was able to open the database using the runtime version just fine.
However, on this other PC, I installed the runtime version, and when I use the command line (msaccess.exe /runtime \serverdirectorydatabase.accdb) to open the database in runtime mode, Access opens for a split second and then closes immediately.
When I just run msaccess.exe, it opens the runtime version and says that I have not specified a database, as expected. So, I am wondering why it is not opening the database when i DO specifiy the database.
If i specify an incorrect directory for the database, it opens the runtime version and a dialog appears telling me that a database was not found, and upon clicking OK, the program closes.
I can say, that when I run it off the computer that works through the runtime version, I get a security warning telling me that there are potentially unsafe elements in the database, but i just have to click OPEN and it still opens it fine.
Perhaps the non-working PC is denying it access due to these security issues?
I can't seem to figure this out, and any help is appreciated.
Using Access 2010.I purposely disabled the Access Objects to open when the database opens of fear of someone messing with my data. This works. The problem I'm having is when I use the print button (access macro) on one of my forms, as soon as i click the button, the "all access objects" window opens on the left side navigation.Is there a setting that will permanately stop this from opening?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've been given an existing database to modify, and I'm struggling somewhat to see how the author has implemented certain functions.
On a main menu form (autoexecs on starting the database), there are various "Search By" option buttons to generate a report, ordered in various ways. The "On Click" field for each of them refers to a macro, called Buttons, and a line in that macro dependant on the type of search (e.g. OnClick = Buttons.byPerson).
The Buttons macro runs an OpenReport command, the report corresponding to the search type (e.g. Buttons.byPerson has an OpenReport command for the "Report by Person" report).
However, when I click the search buttons (or indeed run the corresponding reports) I instead get another form which allows the search criteria to be specified - this then generates the report (I would assume based on the relevant query - e.g. Person Query), but I cannot understand how this works.
Google searches have not helped much as I can't seem to find an adequate search phrase to use, and I've been staring at the thing for some hours now. Any help getting me off in the right direction would be much appreciated!
Hi all,
I want to create a 100% stacked column chart (as can be used in Excel) into a report in my database, however I cannot find it anywhere to use.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use this type of chart in Access and if so, how to do this?
Again, help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi everyone
I would like to create a statistical cusum chart in my db, I can do it in Excel but it's quite difficult to do in Access. Does anyone know how to do one, or know of any SPC add ons for Access (there are loads for Excel)?
Thanks

I would like to create a report from one of my existing queries. I would like this report to have a pie chart on it showing results from a field called concerns in the querie.
I would like the chart to break down the amount of each concern listed i.e. 4 of this 3 of that 5 of those etc.
i use the chart wizard to pull in the field data and when I click finish, it gives me basically nothing. Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
I solved one problem only to hit another.
I have several charts that work off of a query.
The several charts all compare various variables to year.
I created the charts and they all work great. However, the user now wants to be able to select or compare various years as opposed to seeing them all in every chart. I made the year an integer. I then tested the query that all the charts are based on to see if it filters properly.
In the query's date filed I have the criteria Like [Enter the desired year]
This works fine if I am just looking at the query.
However, if I pull up the chart that the query is based on I get the error message, "The microsoft jet database engine does not recognize '[Enter the desired year]'as a valid field name or expression."
I have wasted an enormous amount of time simply trying to filter my charts by year. A single field in my table that is an integer with 0 decimal places. All the dates are entered as a 4 digit number. Ex 2006.
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My end desire is to have a form with two text boxed named "start" and "end" in addition to a number of butons each corresponding to one of the charts. My user will enter two dates, one in each of the text boxes "start" and "end"
When he/she presses one of the chart butons, the corresponding chart will open up showing only the two (or) one selected years' data. This would be filtered by the query that all of the charts are based on that has a set criteria, "Like [forms].[charts].[start] or like [forms].[charts].[end]"
As I mentioned earlier, I already have this all set up. The query works fine based on all of the above. However, if I click the butons or try to open a chart I get the message stated above.
Thanks again to all here at the forum for your invaluable help.
