Is there any way to force the switchboard to maintain its pop up window size? Whenever I open an item from it that is maximised and then return to the switchboard it too has maximised.
Thanks

I have a button that when clicked moves a piece of data to a subform. I have put the whole sequence below. The trouble I am having is :
- The event will not happen until the form is saved. I think this is because fkTaskID is a new record (auto) number which hasn't generated yet.
- If I force the form to save it does work but then I get an error on the INSERT command when not all required fields of the form are complete (see sample in second part below).
Is there a way to save the record and maintain the integrity of the form input - and still have this code work?
BUTTON CODE

Private Sub BTNAddReasonRw_Click()
Dim dIndex As Long
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
For dIndex = 0 To Me.LISTReworkReasonsUnselected.ListCount - 1

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
users can opening a file (either .doc, exe or .pdf) with additional data to the record they're looking at by clicking on a icon on a form. The icon has code behind it that opens the document (Application.FollowHyperlink NameDocTo Open). That opens the doc OK, no problem, but what is a problem is that the window for this document is exactly the same size as the window of the access form from which the second doc is opened.
The size of the access window is defined. I'd like to get the word or excel or pdf to be maximized. The weird thing is that I use the same code in another database and there the 'secondary doc' opens in a new window and of large enough size. How can the same code generate 2 outcomes? And how can I fix the issue described?
Thanks guys.
Hey guys,
I figured out to maximize a window when a report is opened, but now I want to restore the window sizes when this report is closed.
I think I kind of know what to do with the DoCmd.Restore and something about OnClose, but I'm lost in the syntax. If someone could help me out by giving me the syntax and where to put this code that would be fantastic :)
Can i set the physical dimensions of the MS Access main window from code, like when I open my first form?
My main development computer has a massive big screen, but I mainly program for 1024x768 screen. When the database appears on my screen I'd like to resize it bigger as I see fit, but have my code open it to a 1024x768 sized screen when it opens on someone else's computer.
I'm running MS Access 2003. My SQL editing window has a really small font size. How do I change this window's default font size? Is it in tools or options?
Help!!!!!!! I'm going blind!!!!!!:confused:
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being willing to help out!!
Hi,
I would like to open the MS Access Window in a certain position and size.
Somehow similar to open a form when using:
- to set the position and size:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Form.Move Left:=11500, Top:=6500, Width:=7000, Height:=6000
End Sub
I would like to open the MS Access Window within the screen area at a certain location, and having a certain size.
Is there any option in the Access Menu, or I can write some code, and where has to be written, so when I double click on the *.mdb file, the MS Access Window will open where I want and the size I want.
Thank you.
Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.

I have a value in a form that has code behind it to calculate a value for that field when that field is "clicked." All works as it should. However, if I go to look at a previous record in the form, and click on that cell, it calculates a new value, when it should maintain the value that is already there.
Is there a way to "lock" in the values on a record so if a user goes back to look, the value cannot be changed?
My friends, please help me figure this out. I am new to MS-ACCESS. I am trying to create a simple Leave system for my office. When a user requests a leave, the number of hours will be added to a table. I have created a form for this purpose. What I would then like to happen is, the next field in the Table is the sum of hours requested thus far. So that field would be Requested + Total requested Thus far. I can do it easily in Excel but I can't figure out how to do that in ACCESS. It is a very simple database and I can mail you my sample if you are interested. Thanks in advance.

I am having trouble keeping focus on a field in a subfrm when I click the next button for the next record.
I have a frmQuiz. This shows the quiz question. I have a subfrmUserAnswers, where the user enters the Answer ID in the field UserAnswerID. This form clears to a new record when the Next button is pressed for the next question and the focus is lost.
How can I maintain the focus?
Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

I have created a table for customer bills, and a table for customer profiles which contains rates associated with them specifically. The problem is that after a new rate change has been imposed I want to be able to look at an old bill, via a report, and have it reflect the "old" rate within proper historical context. I'm looking for suggestions on how to best manage ongoing rate changes while maintaining a billing rate history in my reports?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 6 machines that run jobs Monday thru Friday but I will focus on doing one machine to avoid confusion.
The machine will be running 23 hours a day Monday thru Thursday and 18 hours on Friday and is shut down on Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning at 5am (start of the work week) Job A starts. The job will run for 30 hours. Then Job B will run for 160 hours. I need to know when Job B will start and end. Although it would be nice to know the time of day, just knowing the date would be good enough.
As I said I have 6 machines and each one is running anywhere from 7 to 10 jobs. My end result could be nothing more than a report, but a datasheet form would be ideal. On Mondays, new jobs are added and schedule is updated based on actual productivity from the prior week.
Is there a way of keeping/setting the primary key when using a make table query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this code:
Public Sub cmdRequery_Click()
Dim vFlag As String
vFlag = Me![EncounterNbr]
Me.Requery
With Me.Recordset
.FindFirst "[EncounterNbr] = '" & vFlag & "'"
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End With
The user starts on a continous form and opens a record, makes some changes, and then when that form closes it triggers this public sub.
The code does what I want it to do in that it returns to the last encounter number that was selected (now on the continous form again) and it requeries and shows anything that was changed about the record on the form that was closed before requery.......
But it always resorts and moves it and I want it to stay in the same spot unless the user sorts. Is there any way to make that happen?
How to properly use 3 cascading combo boxes.
I have them set up and they work, to some degree.
I have three boxes Type/Sub-Type/Item. They all filter down to the next one, the problem is, when I get to the 3rd box, it filters ONLY from the 2nd box and loses the filter from the 1st. What do I need to do to get it to maintain the filter from the first box and then ADD the filter from the second box when populating the 3rd box?
i have a production database in which i have different sections processing on the same product. i have a daily production entry form on which datewise entry is done for each section.
i want to maintain the total stock of each section (sectionB) with productName, input from sectionA , production from sectionB, balance (input-production) . presently i used query for this .. but i need a stock table in which entries should be inserted by an automatic query .. how should i achieve this :
1. by an append query who runs every time to append the quantity when a daily entry is made .??
2. by an update query to replace the quantity with a qty from totals query ?
i.e. what is the best method to maintain inventory from input & output tables ?
I'm not sure if Access is the right program to use for this scenario as I only know the basics on creating the database.
I want to be able to create a client database and then be able to generate a number of standard template letters at any particular time for selected clients.
I don't want a mail merge!!
Can access be used for this?
Ideally I would like to create a form for administrators to use to input new client info and update existing clients info and then just be able to click a button (or the like) to generate the standardized letter for a particular scenario.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank you in advance for your help,

My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2003.
Access front end, sybase backend. I am building the queries in the design mode in Access.
Here is my question...
I am looking for a way to force a one-to-many relationship between two tables. I am connecting the primary key in table1 to a field (foreign key) in table 2. But it keeps going to one-to-one.
It should be doing one-to-many (the "1" and the "8"-sideways infinity symbol).
What am i doing wrong? Please help.
I have a query in Access 2000 that I can't get to force a certain value in empty rows for a particular field column - maybe someone here can see why?
The SQL for the query is as follows (give or take some)...:
TRANSFORM Count([Testing DB].[DB_ID]) AS [CountOfDB_ID]
SELECT [Testing DB].State, [Location].[North], Count([Testing DB].[DB_ID]) AS [Total Of DB_ID]
FROM [Testing DB] LEFT JOIN [Location] ON [Testing DB].[Address] = [Location].Address
WHERE ((([Location].[Size])=Nz([Size],"Big")) AND (([Testing DB].[Window Length]) Is Not Null)
GROUP BY [Testing DB].State, [Location].[Size]
ORDER BY [Testing DB].State, [Location].[Size]
PIVOT Format([Date],"mmm-yyyy");
I want my crosstab to end up so that any records in the "Size" column that are not matched between the two tables, and therefore come up empty for those rows in the query results, are forced to change from empty to "Big" - so that they can be added into the count of "Big" hits that the query ends up with in the "Size" column. But all my "nz" addition did was remove the columns with blank values from the crosstab - no addition to the "Big" counts.
Am I perhaps going about this incorrectly? Maybe I should have used some form of iif(is null) instead.:confused: Any help is, as always, much appreciated.
