I am having a problem with editting the SQL source of a query. Every time I position the cursor it highlights from there to the end of the query so as soon as I type it deletes to the end of the query. I have tried pressing the Insert Key but that does not seem to have any affect on this problem.
View RepliesI currently have a form that contains a subform. The common many to many relationship that many subforms represent. The problem I'm having, is I want the user to be able to add, delete, and edit entries using the subform.
I just added the subform and add/edit functionality was not the default. The default for my subform was that no editting or additions were allowed. I could only view the information in the subform. I looked at the properties and all the fields I expected were correct (for example, Allow Additions was yes, Allow Edits was also yes, etc). I'm not sure why it's not letting me edit any of the fields.
More about the nature of the relationship. There are people, and each person can use applications. So there are two tables, People and Applications. This needs to be a many to many relationship, so there is a table, peopleJoinApplications, that joins a personID and an applicationID. The form is a person, and the subform is the list of applications related to this person.
I'm looking for a good way to allow users to add an application to a person, and to delete the relationship between a person and an application. Any ideas?
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy 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?
See title :)
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
Anybody ever heard of this before? I open a form, and it is empty, just a blank window. I open the same form in Design View, all appears well. :mad:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Any ideas why it is not showing?
I am using Access 2000.
I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
thanks
I am wondering how you can output your query into a form. I have a form to select the information the end users is looking up, which refers directly to the query but how can I tell the query to place the results into a form view?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have inherited some Foxpro tables which I am trying to convert to Access and I hae set the exported tables up and have tried to set the relationships between the tables so that I can run queries and setup forms to review and add new records. However I am struggling to get the relationships in place that will allow me to do this. When I try to drag the common fields from one table to another to setup the link I get a screen which shows Relationship Type as 'indterminate' rather than 'one-to-many'. Whatever I do I can't change the type of link and when I view a query based on the two linked tables the * in the record navigator is greyed out so I can't add new records.
I have a sample of the tables,links,queries and forms I have setup to date (with a limited number of records), if someone could have a look at it and advise where I am going wrong that would be great.
The data and the structure of the tables is pretty much fixed as this is what is coming through from Foxpro and there is a lot of historical data to bring across.
Many thanks
I am trying to view a query in design view but everytime I right click on it (or any method) it brings up the:
syntax error in from clause.
I then have to say OK and that's it. Cannot view it.
Interestingly enough, the query works fine when called from my VBA code.
Know anyway round this?
Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a new query in SQL view?
I find myself encouraging carpal tunnel by:
> going to "queries"
> "new query"
> "design view"
> closing the "show table" dialog box
> right clicking the new query
> finally selecting "SQL view".
There has GOT to be an easier way that this 6-step process to ~run a query~ in a _database_ ... but I haven't run across it yet though. Any help here? My wrist thanks you ; )
Gents,
I'm building an update query for my supplier prices and I've run into a problem.
When I select fields such as part number, model, description and supplier name (all of which I won't be updating) in the design view, when I come to view the data before running the query all that is listed are the two fields I'm updating namely the list price and the review date. How can I get the view screen to list the additional data that I wish to view and check prior to running the query.
Cheers for any help

I would like to run my query, but have it open into form view- any suggestions?
*I don't want filter by form, or query-by-form, I want the info that would come up for the query, "MsterQry1", to be shown in the form. Thx~
I have a search form to run a query to produce matching records from a few tables. However there are many fields so I was wondering if I could make something like a split form to view the results from the query in one window.
I know you can make queries produce tables and you can have split forms linked to table information. I wasn't sure if you could/ how you would run a query and produce a table with a split form.
Hi, In the example attached below how can I see the "cut off date" that I am prompt to enter in the fourth field of query1-a (I would like to see it for each one of the record that are displayed when the query is run and then append it to a table)

Hi folks,
I have a query which pulls together several other queries. It works fine in Access but I also need it to work on a MS SQL server.
the SQL is as follows;
SELECT Client.ClientName, Entity.EntityName, IIf([101].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS TA, IIf([301].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS TR, IIf([302].[ProductID] IS NULL,
[-], [X]) AS CU, IIf([304].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS TC, IIf([502].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS FA, IIf([503].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS MO
FROM Client LEFT JOIN
Entity ON Client.ClientID = Entity.ClientID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD301 AS 301 ON Entity.EntityID = [301].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD302 AS 302 ON Entity.EntityID = [302].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD304 AS 304 ON Entity.EntityID = [304].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD502 AS 502 ON Entity.EntityID = [502].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD503 AS 503 ON Entity.EntityID = [503].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD101 AS 101 ON Entity.EntityID = [101].EntityID;
The problem seems to be with the iif statement.
Any ideas how I can gt around this?
Thanks,
Dave
How can we do this? Can someone pls help? The query should be part of the code. Like create a variable strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ...." and so on
Newbie here :)
I'm currently using access to try and link together a number of different databases into one. These databases are exported from an internal system we use and outputs in Excel format.
When these export there is one large database which has about 25 columns and about 3000 rows. The other information that exports are much smaller databases which link to the rows of information in the larger database and for a mail merge to work I need them all to be merged in single rows.
I've linked the main database with all of the separate smaller databases in Access so that I can run the query to combine them all together. However, when I try and run this query or view it Access appears to be loading but never does actually load. I assume it's timing out. I left it running overnight and the problem still persisted.
I assume it's a RAM issue, or maybe disk space or hard drive. The file size of the Access project is about 17mb, so not ridiculously big, but the computer I am using is quite outdated. Is the query likely to work with a better computer, or does Access have certain limitations for larger queries? With all the rows and columns merged with the separate database there is likely to be 3000 rows and about 100 columns. Is this too large for Access to run?
I have a query where I want to see a percentage of executed demos. I currently have Name of the promo (group by), # of demos (group by), Status (criteria = E for executed demos, count) and Percentage: Status/# of demos. Everytime I run this query I get this message: "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." The only data in Status is either a O for open or an E for executed. The E in Status is the only criteria I have in the whole query. If I take the count function off Status, it runs, but does not give the right results. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

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?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks Harry
I have a query that searched thru records based on a person's last name. It runs fine and returns the results I want. However, the view of the results is in record-view. I'd like the results to be in a report format. Is this possible? The macro that calls the query is set to display in report view, but the query always come back showing the records. What am I missing here? Thanks a ton for your time!
