The problem now is when two data entry people are
working on the DB at the same time, sometimes the
client records one person is the are working on jump
from one computer to another computer.
Attached is an example caught:
Louise data entry user was logged into the database
on one computer entering data.
Mary data entry user was logged into the database on
a different computer entering data on a different
client.
The client data from Mary's computer "jumped" to the
screen of Louise's PC. And then worst to the
database table of contact data kept.
This is kind of hard to believe if there was not
screen images catching it in the act, which we have.
Is there a record locking MS-Access global setting I
need to turn on?
Also, we have at least 3 time where we get a duplicate MS-Access record-id key on the DB. That is not suppose to happen. I can e-mail the DB and mass out the real person(s) names if you would like.
Any of your great thoughts or insights will be appreciated.
Hope all is going good for you at America General and the earth quakes are not too shaking.
If I want to select a row from subform A and a row from subform b and click a button and have the keys stored in another table what would be the best way to do that?
I would like to take snapshots of my tables, queries etc to show them in this forum in order to better explain how things work. Duhh, anybody know how to do it. For example I wanted tio show someone how a query is set up in design mode, using visual aids.
I've seen db's with a nice spalsh screen that is smart and quick. I've tried start up splash screens using a form... and the images take an eternity to load... particularly over a network.. Any ideas as to something professioanl looking without the lengthy load up times??
OK, I've tried everything I can think of with this query/subform/records problem. I've searched the internet for days, even bought some big fat Access reference books and read them cover-to-cover, but I still can't get my database to do what I want. This newbie would *really* appreciate some help...
I am trying to create a database which I can use to store client’s advertising expenses. I currently have three tables: tblListings (which stores basic information about each client, with the field ListingID as the primary key); Advertising Rates (which stores the different types of advertising products and their prices, with the field ProductNumber as the primary key); and tblAdvertisingExpenses (which stores each “order” of an advertising product, including the client’s ListingID as a foreign key, date, the type of advertising, and the total cost - the primary key is an auto-numbered field called OrderNumber).
I have a main form called frmListings, which displays the client’s information from the tblListings table, and includes a subform. I wanted the subform to show only the advertising expenses corresponding to the ListingID (ie. client) displayed on the main form, so I based the subform on a query which displays all records from tblAdvertisingExpenses with a ListingID that matches the ListingID displayed from tblListings. So far so good - the records displayed in the subform change correctly when the record in the main form changes.
Now the tricky part…
The subform displays a blank row for a new record, and I would like to be able to enter a new advertising expense in that blank record (date, type of ad, and cost), and have that data added as a new record in the tblAdvertisingExpenses table with a new auto-numbered OrderNumber. I don’t know whether it’s because the subform is actually a dynaset from a query, or because I’ve constructed the query incorrectly (highly likely, I’m still pretty new to queries), but when I add in the details for the new record, I get the following error:
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship (etc, etc).
I suspect that Access is attempting to write the record (along with the ListingID) back to the tblListings table, where the same ListingID already exists (uniquely) as the primary key. But I don’t know for sure, because I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing. What I actually want to do is have the new record I’ve entered in the subform added to the tblAdvertisingExpenses table, which is the record source for the qryListings query which displays records in the subform. It shouldn’t be a problem, should it? So why can’t I get it to work? Perhaps there’s a fundamental flaw in the way I’ve broken up the database into tables, or my assigning of primary keys and foreign keys. Or perhaps there’s a flaw with the way I’ve constructed my query. Or am I forced to have a completely separate form solely for entering data into the tblAdvertisingExpenses table? Or will I need to use a macro or VBA to accomplish what I want?...
Sorry if this is terribly confusing. I can provide more specific details (and screen captures) of the tables, queries, forms, and relationships (if I haven’t provided enough specific details already), and would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Help?!
I have been using a second, larger monitor, hooked up to my laptop so I can use the "extend" function of my laptop and work on multiple programs on two different screens. Until today, I never had a problem with this setup and Access. I would hit a button I had created and the resulting screen would stay in the same window as the Access program.
When I open the program on my laptop computer screen, it opens to a main form with a sub form (see mainform.jpg). When I click on a number below "Click 4 Product Frm" box in the subform (for example "179"), the Products form pops up (product_pop-up.jpg), on the SAME laptop screen the main form was shown on.
The problem arises when I click on the Accessories button in the right middle portion of the Products form. The resultant Accessories form (access-pop-up.jpg). This screen always pops open on the second (or extended) screen. I can drag the form back over to the laptop screen, but if I click on the Accessories tab again, it still opens on the extended screen. To make matters worse, if I am not connected to a 2nd screen, the Accessories form can not be seen on the laptop as it is trying to open on the extended screen that is not there.
In my simple database (attached), I need to mass duplicate Tasks and their Notes.
I have three tables: tbTasks (PK: Task_ID), tbNotes (PK: Note_ID), jtbTaskNotes (FKs: Task_ID and Note_ID). jtbTaskNotes is my many-to-many junction table that ties Tasks to Notes.
The main form (fmTasks), bound to tbTasks, has a subform (sbfm_TaskNotes) that displays notes associated with each Task. On themain form,you select which Tasks you want duplicated via a checkbox. The append query (quCopyTasks) will duplicate all tasks that have the checkbox checked. All good there. However, I can't figure out how to also duplicate each task's Notes.
I found Allen Browne's solution [URL] ....., but that only handles duplication of one record at a time, whereas I need to duplicate many records at a time (sometimes 10+ records). How do I go about duplicating multiple Tasks and their associated Notes?
Before you ask "why are you duplicating records?": There are times when tasks need to be re-accomplished and therefore need to have a new record. It's easier to duplicate records than it is to hand-jam everything again.
I have built a qry that initially shows the correct information. For example.
tblContent has 289 records with a Type = Class.
I built a Query to select from tblContent Type = Class and I get 289 records. I add additional criteria of Progress <>"Not Scheduled", I then get 206 records. I then add additional criteria Last Name <>"Demo" And <>"Care" And <>"Support". This brings up 200 records, but the query appears to duplicate each record 3 times. I do not have 3 of the same types of records.
The SQL Statement is below
SELECT tblProfile.LoginName, tblProfile.FirstName, tblProfile.LastName, tblProfile.Organization, tblProfile.CostCenter, tblContent.Title, tblContent.Type, tblContent.Code, tblContent.[Date Assigned], tblContent.[Date Started], tblContent.[Last Accessed], tblContent.Progress, tblContent.[Date Completed] FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN tblContent ON tblProfile.LoginName = tblContent.LoginName WHERE (((tblProfile.LastName)<>"Demo" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Care" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Support") AND ((tblContent.Type)="Class") AND ((tblContent.Progress)<>"Not Scheduled"));
The qry is named qryPhysical Class. I have provided the link to view the database. Can you help me?
I want to find duplicate records based on FirstName and LastName and delete the duplicate. Also, I want to delete any records which have a blank FirstName and LastName.
I mentioned this a while back but was never able to solve this problem.
I don't have any nails left to chew so I hope some smart person on this forum can spot the error or know how to solve it.
Here goes...
On the main form you have a building that you can click on, once you have done so it will then list all the fire fighting appliances in that building that need servicing.
The problem is that when I'm editing the records the list box jumps to the first record after saving it & you have to scroll to the last record again to continue.
It's not so bad if you only have a few records to edit but it is a pain when you have more than can fit on the form.
I hope someone can spot where I'm going wrong and help me out as I have no idea how to solve this.
I have a long form that has a tab control at the bottom of it. You have to scroll down to get to the tab section. After I scroll down, when I click on one of the tabs the form jumps up. It doesn't jump up to the beginning of the form but somewhere near the beginning. I've checked everything that I could think of but nothing helps this situation.
okay, simple question. How in visual basic code do you tell the prompt to go to the next line in the same control on a form? In other words, how do you mimic the behavior of the enter key in code?
I have a simple invoice database with a primary key in the main table (with autonumber as invoice no.) and a subform with the item details which is without a primary key with the data type as numbers. In addition, I had the tables linked as one to many relationship. What happen is that when I am entering the data, the number jumps . For eg: It was suppose to be 7123 but the next entry was 7150. Pls kindly advice.
When the client clicks in a text-Box or Combo-box in a sub-form, the field seems to jump to the side. in this image it jumps to the left, but jumps to the right to..., it is quite irritating, especially attempting to open a combo-box list, and see the button jumping aside.We renewed the file many times, so I don't think it is corrupted, but go know..the file can be accessed via network or terminal server, the pic is from terminal, but happens via network too.
I've recently upgraded on of my systems from Access 2003 to 2010.
In the past I've always used to the ctrl key and the cursor keys to move and fine tune the position of my controls on my reports. However since upgrading the controls jump about all over the place when I try to move them.
I have noticed that when I've selected the controls and start to move them a little black line appears on the vertical ruler and when I release the controls they seem to move to it's position.
I'm half way through a project and want to have 3 queries to search personal information (Surname/DOB/Ref Number) is it possible to select the record in data view from the query search and jump to the record in form view? Would I have to display the query differently or is it possible to just click within the normal query view?
I'm a newbie to the forum, but hope that someone can point me in the right direction to solve a problem.
Background: I have a db that I use much like Quicken to maintain a ledger and reconcile accounts. To reconcile credit card transactions, I have a continuous form that lists each transaction as a record in the Detail. Each record has Check Boxes for Yes/No criteria pertaining to "Cleared Status", "On Statement", and "Missing Receipt". Checking the box for "On Statement" allows a subsequent report to include the items that are checked. Likewise, an Update Query used later in the process sets all all items in the reconcile to "cleared" so that do not reappear on the list of items to reconcile. In order to cause the Report and the Update Query to reassess the Yes/No status for each item and thus function properly, I have set the Event Proceedure for these Check Boxes to Requery the underlying data.
Problem: As you can imagine, the list of Credit Card Transactions is a long one. Each time a Check Box is clicked, the requery causes the list of records to jump back to the very top of the list. This really slows down the process of completing the reconcile. Is there a way to hold the continuous list in the detail section still as the requery takes place?
I have a form with a subform for tracking the stocks trading. I use the subform to enter new transactions. This was working fine until I have made some modifications in the design, which started giving me the trouble. Whenever I try to input any transactions by selecting a combo box in the subform, it takes me to the first record, even before completing my entries. I tried my best to solve it. But not successful. I am attaching a sample file for reference.
I have checked the tab order and have cycle for my form set to = all records (but have also tried current record). After I update one of any of my textboxes in the details section and then click or tab into the next box, the cursor jumps back to the first record, first field.
I have a table (which is populated by people filling in a form) which contains two fields:
Section WeekCom (e.g. week commencing)
I want to make sure that the form will not allow someone to make a double entry. For example, if Sally goes in and says enters "Benefits" as the section and "WeekCom" as 15/10/06, and then Ben tries to do the same - the form will not allow Ben to enter it.
How do you do this please? The table does not have a primary key at the moment....is there any way of doing it without setting one of the fields as a primary key?
I have a form in Access which has event date and then also an event time slot such as "Morning, Afternoon, Evening" . I need to make it so that you cannot have a duplicate time booking, i assume i will need to code some VBA but if anyone could tell me what it would be much appreciated. Thanks
