i seem to be geting this message ( attached ) everytime i load the form for the first time. once i click ok, i can the enter data into the field and save as normal. if i load the form and got to a different field, it seems to be ok and the mesaage does not come back but it is definately there when i first click in the same field.
i have checked the form properties, field properties and code but i cannot see anything.
what usually causes this?
the text is the right size the form is not in design view
i cant seem to find if the field is read only but after the box, i can enter data so that should remove any read only issues.
I get the error message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you are trying to add. try inserting or pasting less data." I'm not attempting to run an insert or update query.
Access Help lives up to expectations by just repeating the error message, and the posts I can find on the forum which mention this error all seem to include something about a maximum of 254 characters in a field. None of mine are anywhere near that amount.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
I have a main form with project information and subform with financial information for each related project. Every time I try to add a new record, I get the error message "field cannot be updated". I click ok and it appears again, this continues three times after and then disappears when I click ok. After which I can add a new record. This happens on the query and the form. Can someone help me through this one? Thanks
I have form "Project Log" for my table "Orders". One field "OrderTakenBy" ( text field) is a required field in the table.
In the field properities of OrderTakenBy in the Before Update event I have used the following code:
Private Sub OrderTakenBy_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String Dim intStyle As Integer
If IsNull(Me!OrderTakenBy) Or Me!OrderTakenBy = "" Then strMsg = "You must enter your name." strTitle = "Field Required" intStyle = vbOKOnly MsgBox strMsg, intStyle, strTitle Cancel = True End If End Sub
When I first tested it, after trying to leave the field without making an entry-it worked great. Now it seems to have stopped working, I get no message when I leave the field empty.
I am trying to insert data into a table through a combo on a form. Originally, I had the text field size set at 15 characters, but the data I wanted to enter changed to 25 characters in length, so I changed the field size to 25. I then got the following message:
"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."I increased the size, but still got the message. I even took the size right up to 100, but still got the message!
Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following: 1) Shows all records 2) Requery 3) ApplyFilter. The Where Condition for the filter is: Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
All, I have inheirited a database which I am attempting to query via an SQL statement:
"SELECT * FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY SheetNumber;"
This query works fine under Access but when executed thru ADO 2.5 / Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 from VB6 it reports the following error ("2147217833"):
"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."
First things first, I'm not trying to add/insert/paste any data (see SQL statement above). Secondly, when I remove "ORDER BY SheetNumber" from the SQL statement the error does not occur. I need to retain the ability to sort and would be grateful for any help/suggestions.
For your reference SheetNumber is defined as a 20 char Text field in Access.
I currently have a drop down box with four options in there and the options are:
Low Minimum Medium High
However when i change the options in the table to:
Low Moderate Significant High
it comes up with the error message: the field is too small the accept the amount of data you attemtpted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
I do not understand what is wrong with the second option of words? The maximum for characters is set to 255 so i am not sure why it is coming up with that error message.
I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)
Hi can anyone help i keep clicking on a qry and it comes up with this message "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblSTSLimits.Max Short'. but Max Short is correct can anyone help
I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL
SELECT PqryExpiredPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Orig_Exp_Date, PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key, PqryNewPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Name FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?
I get the following error message when I open a form, but I cant see anything wrong:
Run Time Error '2447':
There is an invalid use of the . (dot) or ! operator or invalid parenttheses.
This is the code that causes the problem:
Private Sub Form_Activate() If Me.SumOfTotalGVS > 16 Then MsgBox "You have exceded the total amount of GVS on the CATT site" Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 255 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 65535 Else Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 16777215 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 0 End If End Sub
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this line of code please. Im trying to count the number of records on another form that is open. This is an On_Click command from another form.
Hello all, I have an access application. I imported a form to it with all related tables and queries and modules from another application. Unfortunetaly, it didn't work. It gives me this error message when openning the form: The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: User-defined type not defined.
i have a form that allows me to save mobile phone details.
The problem with this form is that if its incomplete and i click 'x' it shows me the validation message followed by an error message (which is attached with this thread).....
why is that? is there anyway i can exit the form (incomplete) without the valdation message or error message occuring???
Function Age(varBirthDate As Variant) As Integer Dim varAge As Variant
varAge = DateDiff("yyyy", varBirthDate, Now) If Date < DateSerial(Year(Now), Month(varBirthDate), _ Day(varBirthDate)) Then varAge = varAge - 1 End If Age = CInt(varAge) End Function
I get this error when I try to run a query. I have attached a screeen print of the problem. Every thing else works just fine it is the same query I copied it and just change one of the fields. the other query orks fine.
