Documenter Stopped Displaying Object Properties
Aug 9, 2006
Hello,
I've searched MSFT, this forum and Googled it with no success. My first post, I hope this is correct section.
Sometime in past few days Access Documenter will only display object name regardless of what properties are selected in the Options menu. Selections always default to back to "Nothing" after trying viewing. It is not related to any specific.MDB file. Have tried with more than 12.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Access and Office. Did not correct the problem.
When using Documenter (located on another computer on the network) for the same database(s) it works fine. So it is machine specific. Running XP with all current updates and Office 2003 with SP2.
Any help or suggestions willl be greatly appreciated.
Don

How do I set this in the form's default value (...without using VBA).

I am having bit of confusion in trying to come up with a code that will assist in completing my database display (for a warehouse rental database).
My aim is to have a form display a layout of the site and overlay an image over a store if its occupied else leave the image off if otherwise.
I have everything in my table plus a checkbox field that states if vacancy is "yes' or "no"; say I have 60 stores to rent and they have specific names (unit = A09) and I already 'drew' the layout on a form (all 60 of them) with renaming the boxes for each unit (Name = A09).
How can I program a code that upon opening the form it will like
If 'Box Name on form' = 'unit name on table' AND 'Vacancy = No' then 'redbox.visible = yes'

Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?

I have several tables and the default layout is one table per page. In some cases, there are a couple of fields...a waste of paper. Can this be changed?

Hi, I would like to change the properties of either the column heads in a combo-box or the column names for tables. I don't think there's any way to adjust the column head properties, and I'm doubtful there's a way to change the column caption properties.
Some of my column titles are long, and I'd like to be able to word wrap them essentially. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

I am working on my DB for work and would like to display all of the report names that are listed in the Reports-Objects of my DB.
I would like to display a Form with two boxes. The left box would display the names of the reports as listed in the Objects-Reports. When a report is highlighted in the left box it would give a description of the report in the right box. When you double click on the report name it would open the report.
Since I am fairly new to Access could you give me an example of what I would like to accomplish? Your assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello
I am using Access 2003(11.6355.6360) SPI
When I attempt to create a new DB - by performing Blank Database I immediately get a message 'Object Library not registered'.
If I 'OK' that box and try to create a table, I can do so - create Table in design view.
When I then try to Import external data - an excel file I get the message 'ActiveX component Can't create object'.
I have looked ob various sites for help and forum information regarding these errors but have found nothing conclusive, with specidfic regard to Access 2003.
The version has been loaded on my machine about 1 year as part pf Office Professional but this is the first time I have attempted to run Access itself.
Does any forum member have any ideas as to how this problem could be resolved.
Thank You
Rgds

I am currently building a database for the company I work for that is fairly similar to the Northwind Database; however it is made from scratch so hopefully some of the common problems with that database won't find their way into mine.My problem is that when I go to my Orders form, I pick a customer from the main form, which creates a record on the Orders table. When I then go to the subform to choose a product/line item, I get the error in my title ("The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'OrdersT.") as soon as a product is chosen from the drop down list.

The error is:
The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblIndividual.' '
Then it also gives me the same one on another table.
I think it has something to do with the link master/child fields. I've tried all kinds of relationships with the three tables and can't figure it out.
I've tried uploading the database here but it won't. It's on my Sky Drive.

I am thinking about creating a DB using Access for a business. However, my wife mentioned to me that her company is looking at software for database work and has some Access DB's they are trying to convert because, according to a technical support person, Microsoft intends on getting rid of Access as a DB! I am posting here to ask anyone, professional or otherwise, if anyone has heard that Microsoft intends to stop supporting or implementing Access. Is Access 2003 the last version? I haven't been able to find out anything along this line. I thought, maybe Microsoft is thinking about supplanting Access with SQL Server. Before I go to the toil of building a DB system in Access, I want to know I am not wasting my time doing it. If anyone on this forum has heard a thing about Microsoft dumping Access, please let me know. Thank you. :o

I made some minor changes in my data entry form, the table and the query form. I believe they are all consistent. But now my query comes up empty no matter which parameters I choose. How do I figure out what went wrong?

Hello...
This should be an easy one for many of you..
I have the following to code to let the user select a file..
It worked before but suddenly stopped working...I remember adding some reference but I dont remember exactly the name of the reference..
After I did this, I converted the database from 2000 - 2002/2003 ..back and forth...I did not change/remove any references.
I have access 2003 but my database is in 2000 format because my teammates have 2000.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Dear All,
I prepared times ago a database that contains important data that will be frequently updated.
Since yesterday I cannot load the database anymore. I get a pop-up with following statement:
Quote
The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time
Unquote
If I click ok, the loading process will be aborted.
I'm the only user of this database, neither the database nor the directory containing the database is sharable. It is located on the harddisk of my computer which nobody from outside can access.
What can I do to recover the access to my database?
I use MS Office 2003 but tried to open the database also on MS Office 2000 with the same result.
The Help function of MS-Access does not really help.
Who knows how to solve the probleem????
With regards
Siegfried

Hi All,
Have a problem with the Toolbox functions when in form design mode; they have suddenly stopped working this afternoon.
For example add button no longer brings up the wizard asking about the various options, combo box wizard no longer appears.
Has anyone encountered this before?
Have tried a reboot but no luck.
Thanks

I used to get the pop up warning giving the user the choice to cancel the email in case it was a hoax but now get an error message stating. "Microsoft Access can't send a message for the reason stated in the preceding alert"
There is no preceding alert and the email no longer sends. has anyone managed to solve this problem?
What the hell is MS doing?

Access 2003.
Auto complete was working with a combo box. After adding much functionality
to a database I find that auto complete does not work on any combobox in any
form. So I create a blank database and a simple test shows that auto complete
works. When a form from the faulty database is imported in the test database,
auto complete stops working on the test form. Even if the imported faulty
form is removed, auto complete still does not work.
I tried creating a new database and importing the faulty form after removing
all controls and events from the form except for the combo box. Auto complete
still stops working. Not only on the imported form but also on the existing
form which works prior to the import.
I checked auto expand and it is 'Yes' in all conditions.
What ever is causing the problem on the faulty form seems to cause some
property of the database to change.
Is there some database option or property setting that controls auto complete?
Is is possible that importing a form will cause a database property to change?

I am calling a continous form from a combo box on another form. The code below used to warn me that there were no records and shut the form down to avoid showing a blank form.
Private Sub Form_Load()
If IsNull(Me.TxtUnit) Then
MsgBox "There are no operations recorded for this Unit", vbOKOnly, "No Recorded Operations"
DoCmd.Close
End If
End Sub
All was working fine until I changed the properties of the continous form to "Allow Additions = No" to remove the spare blank line at the bottom of the records (just for neatness really).
Now, if there are no records to display, the Me.TxtUnit is not Null anymore. It does not seem to exist. If I hover the mouse over it (in VBA) I get no response at all.
How can I get my Msgbox back please ?

Hi All
My department has customer database using microsoft access with the main table being a linked table to SQL-Server database down in IT department.
I've only been recently made aware that the staffs have been having problem when trying to change or delete old data. It keeps on bringing up the error message
The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time.
which is hardly the case since each staff are assigned only one customer to work on.
While it is technically possible to have many people working on the same data, business wise, it is impossible to do that.
I still come up with the same error even when the IT department confirms that no one accessing the SQL-Server table and I was the only one logged in.
This leads me to believe that there is something in the code that somehow preventing the table being edited or deleted. The problem is the database is so huge and was designed by my predecessor so I do not have any knowledge of the complete working of the codes behind it.
If it's the problem with the code, can anyone tell me what sort of codes caused this? If not, can anyone tell me what happened?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you

Hello!
I am working on a database that uses a table from another access database. I am not sure but I think the problem started after this line was added to the code:
Set dbk = OpenDatabase("D:My documentsJapiOritaColorBazeKnjigovodstvo1.1.md b")
The database still works fine on one machine. When I copy it to another machine, that is when I receive 3197 error.
When I copy database to another machine without the code that contains the line from above, and copy the same code in the same form after opening copied databse, the problem is solved.
Does anybody know why is this happening? How can I fix this?
Thank!

I have created a db that is used strictly for data entry. I have one main form with about 6 embedded subforms and the db is broken down into a FE/BE. I currently only have one user in the database and sometimes when the user tabs into one of the subforms the will receive error 3197. I have searched the forum and have read that this error may be caused by a OLE or memo field but I have neither. There is no pattern to the error it seems to happen sporadically. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
