I have created a form off a query. I made the form for adding new records only. When i bring up the form it is blank, the labels and fields don't even show. Anyone know why this is?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have a form based on a table and I just added 3 fields to the table. When I go to the form to add these fields, they do not show up in the field list. I've also tried creating a textbox and going to the Data Tab and choosing the data source but those 3 new fields are still not showing up.
How can I go about adding these 3 fields?
Thanks in advance
:p Hello,
I am wondering if anyone can help me create a query (which is used as a basis for a report) using a criteria which is clever enough to know that if all fields are have an N (no) that a report should not be generated - but with anything else e.g. all Y's or a mixture of Y's and N's that a report will be printed. There are 6 columns where there could be a Y (yes) or an N (no) and I would really like to know if this is possible in access??
Thanks.
Please help
I have created a database to track student grades. I have made a report that shows the different grades for each criteria of each unit but, because the students get to do the unit many times it shows the same criteria many times on the report. What I want to do is have the report show only the best grade for each criteria.
i also want to be able to work out the average grade for each unit from the best grade for each criteria and store this for use in another table.
If you require more info i would be happy to supply this. Thanks
In Expression Builder and other areas of Access where the fields of a query show, my fields are not showing anymore for any of my queries. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks.
Firstly, thanks to everyone for help so far. My first access project in a proffessional environment has been successful and mostly down to the people who have helped me here. I know i didnt really do it all myself but i have learned things that will hopefully serve me well going forward!
Secondly, i apologise for the ambiguously titled thread, i'll explain what i mean.
Basically i have my form that looks like the below
What i'm trying to do, is make the questions below ("Risk in Authority" and "If Not, Risk Referred?") hidden, unless the answer to "Are All Policies Acceptable?" is No.
I have managed to make it happen, but it's far from perfect. As below:
I'd set the value for Visible to No in the properties for every object in the Questions (the pretty boxes are all named things like Box123 and Label 53, all set to hidden). Then i set the "On Click" event of the No in "Are All Policies Acceptable" (called Option168) to
Me.Box60.Visible = True
Me.Box121.Visible = True
Me.Box122.Visible = True
and so on.
This works ok, but if you click on the same option twice it reverses the action.
Is there a more effective way of doing this? maybe through Validation?
Thanks for any help once again. (I've also recommended this board to a couple of guys in the office who are already proficient with Access and SQL who can hopefully contribute to the community )
Edit: As an Addendum - this formattign should only apply to one record at a time. So if the question are visible on record 1, they could still be hidden on record 2. If that's even possible.
I Created a form and linked it to a ODBC table with no data. Set the Allow Additions property to Yes. It shows fine if there is data in the table but not when there is no data.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a query which selects a material ID and material name from one table and the associated manufacturer, supplier, and packaging type from three other tables. Some of the manufacturer, supplier, and packaging data were imported from an Excel spreadsheet and did not have data for those fields, so those fields are blank. When I run the query, I only get the records which have all fields filled out. How can I get the records where the material ID and material name are filled in, but the manufacturer, supplier, or packaging type are blank? Here is the query I'm using currently:
Code:
SELECT tblMaterialSpecifications.ID, tblMaterialSpecifications.Critical, tblMaterialSpecifications.MaterialSupply, tblManufacturer.Manufacturer, tblSupplier.Supplier, tblPackaging.PackageType
FROM tblPackaging INNER JOIN (tblSupplier INNER JOIN (tblManufacturer INNER JOIN tblMaterialSpecifications ON tblManufacturer.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.ManufacturerID) ON tblSupplier.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.SupplierID) ON tblPackaging.ID = tblMaterialSpecifications.PackagingID
WHERE (((tblMaterialSpecifications.ActiveInactive)=-1))
ORDER BY tblMaterialSpecifications.Critical, tblMaterialSpecifications.MaterialSupply;
I've recently moved up to Access 2013 (from Access 2010) and everything went well, until one day my splash screen was blank and the program had empty fields...after seeing that all the links to the BE were OK, I re-booted and everything worked fine....until the next day the same thing happened...... The program randomly falls over about once or twice a week and I have to re-boot to cure it.....
My splash screen has a standard dlookup ( [=DLookUp("Banner","tblCompanyInfo")] ) to display the active company name...and sometimes its populated and other times its not..... if its not populated then loads of other fields on the forms are also blank - even if they point to valid data in the database!!!!!!
Win7 (both 32 and 64bit) with Access 2013 32bit on three PC's - same problem on all!!!!

My database only has one table of data so it's not complicated.I would like to create a form that can create customisable Excel exports of the data based on set conditions and exporting only select fields. URL...I have one table of data (tblCustomers) which contains all of the fields in the box above.
I would like export the data from the table to excel showing only the fields that are ticked in the box (frmCustomReport).The check boxes are named chk then whatever the field name is eg. chkLocation, chkStatus. The labels are the names of the fields in tblCustomers. Is there a way to do this in SQL or VBA?
I am using Microsoft Access 2010.
I have a form, having following fields
Nationality, Combo box, Options are Indian/foreign State: With list of States in India.
What I want is, when data entry operator , select, Foreign, State field automatically hides.
And when data entry operator , select Indian, State field shows in the form.
How this can be done in Access 2010
I am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.

Hi,
I have a main form that displays records with a couple of sub forms and it also has a button to open another form which is based on the same table main table but different sub forms.
All I am trying to do is open the second main form by clicking the command button and to automatically display the same main record as shown on the first form before clicking the button.
Sounds simple but I can't find how to do it.
Any ideas appreciated........Stuart
Hey Gang,
Thanks for all your help on my previous problem but I now have another one that just seemed to start out of the blue. When I open my form the record selectors don't allow me to browse through all the previously entered records. This is a huge problem because if changes need to be made I can't call up the record to do so. I plan on adding a search funtion to the database soon but for now I need to be able to search through the records on my main form. Is there something I should look for or do you have any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hello,
I am building a relatively small database, but it is made up of a number of different tables which are fed by other tables.
My three main tables are:
EmployeeDetails
Occupational Risk Profile
Health Surveillance Requirements
The employee details table has fields fed by small tables such as Department, Location, Business Unit, Occupational Group etc. These are all made up of an autonumber primary key column and a variable column as described above.
I have been going round in circles with a lot of this as I am still learning.
My problem is that on my forms these fields are showing as numbers and not the text values. For example, I have one form made up for each of the main tables above but I can't get them to display the relevant text.
I did a search on here and somebody said to create query to link the tables and bind this query to a form.
How do I set up the query just to return the text part and not the number?
How do I bind this query to the form if I already have the record source on a my form as a table? (can you have more than one source in the record source?)
Do I create one large query with all of these fields and use this as the basis for the form?
Thanks
I have created forms to add data. What i do is click the add new record command button and add the details. But when i open the form again, it does not show the record which i have just added. However the record is present in the tables.
got any ideas? please help:(
Ok this null value thing is killing me. I have a parameter query that works great. I know if I use Is Null in the criteria field it will show me this. The problem is I made a search form which the users type the value in and it opens a form based on the parameter query, the parameter on the query is [Forms]![Search_frm]![txtClosed]. If they type a date in here it opens the form and shows the user all the closed records. The problem is they want to see all the records that have no value or Null. I've tried eveything to make this work. I'm ready to jump!! Just kidding. Is there a way to do this with out creating another query. Thanks a bunch!!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I`ve searched the forums, but not knowing the terminology, i cant find what I`m looking for.
I have a table which is use for a drop down list in my forms.
This is saved into a table, but shows up as a numerical instead of the name value.
Also In reports, I get a numerical value, instead of the text value.
Is there something I`m over looking ?
Or am I doing something totally wrong.
My relationships are correct. and the field data is right, I just cant over come the number issue.
Thanks in advance.
I have a form field with a date in it, is there any way I can make the value in that field display one thing, but still run a query based on the original text?
for example:
txtDate is 1/1/1000
if txtDate = 1/1/1000 then display = "*"
but the query still runs on 1/1/1000
I am asking this because I am trying to run a between statement for a date range and the only way I can do the entire range of dates on my table is to use the highest and lowest date possible (1/1/1000 and 1/1/3000) but I only want the users to see "*" so they are not confused.
Hello,
I have another question about ACCESS forms. With VBA, I want to change the record showing when I open a form.
I see there is a member "CurrentRecord" so I tried in the class module
Me.CurrentRecord = 2
I compiles but gives runtime error that is write-protected and cannot be changed. In the ACCESS help I read you could do it but HOW?
What should I do ( I am using ACCESS 97 ) ?!
Thanks in advance
Victor
PS : Is it true that VBA in newer versions of ACCESS has more features/functions etc?
