Just wondering if anyone has come across this problem or might have suggestions for a solution.
I have a Form A that contains a Listbox populated using a query which uses another field on Form A as a parameter for query selection criteria. During the Unload process for this form MS Access pauses to request a value for the parameter instead of exiting from the Form. Why is it so and how can I stop it.
Additional notes - this form worked perfectly in Access97 but this problem is occuring now that I have moved to Access2000. I am running Access2000 on a WinXP platform.
I'm getting an error on some fairly simple code attached to a form's Unload event, but I'm only seeing it when I switch my form to design mode. My code does look like it's working under normal conditions,I've attached a simplified database that reproduces the problem in all its glory. I've searched for similar problems and solutions but none have quite hit the spot.
The code is supposed to prevent users closing a form if they haven't entered at least one record in the subform. In my attached example, you shouldn't be able to close the form if you are currently on a Person record that has no linked Hobby record. Do do this, I have used the following code in the Unload event of frmPerson:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) If Me.frmhobby.Form.Recordset.RecordCount < 1 Then Call MsgBox("you must enter at least one hobby for this person") Cancel = True End If End Sub
To see it working properly, go to Person record 3 (Laura Blackwood) which has no Hobby records, and try to close the form. You can't close it until you have entered a hobby for this person. As far as I can see the code works as expected.
Now navigate to Person Record 4 (Mary McArthur). Instead of trying to close the form, switch the form to Design View. You will get the following error: "Runtime error 2455: You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property form/report". Return to Form view and navigate to record 2 (Kevin Petersen), then switch back to Design View - same error. Interestingly, you don't ever get the error on Record 1. All this is exactly what happens on my real database too.
So I'm worried that my code isn't right despite appearances. I thought switching to Design View just goes through the same Unload-Deactivate-Close routine as when you close a form in a conventional way? I also know that subforms unload after forms, so since the code is attached to the Form, the subform should still be available to it and shouldn't result in a reference error.
I had created a query that I was attempting to reference a text field in a form that was open when the query is run. It wasn't working and whenever I opened the form it would prompt for the parameter before opening the form.
I ended up deleting the query to try again from scratch. But the form still asks for the parameters whenever I open the form. Why is Access still prompting me for the parameters?
I have a DB that runs an update, delete and append queries and turned off the Confirm prompts under the edit options. The problem is this turns off the confirms for ALL Access applications. Does anyone know how to turn off the confirms only in one specific db rather than the entire access?
I have a form that I use for navigation in my database. It consists of links to the left to swith between forms, and a subform in the middle. When a link to the left is clicked, I run code to switch the source fo the subform:
me.subfrmFrame.SourceObject = "frmSubCustodian"
I want the form to "remember" the last record the user was on, so I created a table and am writing the primary key of the form to the table on the form's unload event. Then, on the form's load event, I'm looking up that key from the table.
When I open and close the form by itself, not as a subform of my navigation form, everything works fine.
When I open the form from the navigation screen, everything is fine.
When I switch to another form on the navigation screen, however, I have a problem. No matter what record the form was on, it always writes the primary key of the very first record.
I realise this issue is a common one and it is usually down to simple typos (I've looked at several similar posts) but none of the advice I've seen has solved my problem. I've designed the following Union Query:
SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 1]
UNION ALL SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 2]
UNION ALL SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 3];
It should be very simple and I've checked it over and over, but when I run the query an Enter Parameter dialog appears prompting me to enter Email.
If I just click OK I get all the records but with the email field blank.
Similarly if I type x@y.com it returns all records but with the email fields all containing x@y.com
Advice would be very much appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
Can anyone please help me, I currently have a series of queries that are called by a macro, these create a number of tables. But when each query runs it provide a prompt stating what it is doing, my question is can these be stopped so that the queries run without a user being present.
This may just be a MS XP thing, but when I open my Database it gives a series of 3 prompts to open the database. The first is a security warning for unsafe expressions, do i want to block them or not, the second is telling me that only MS Jet 4.0 service pack can block the unsafe expressions, do i want to open my database, the third is an actual open, cancel or more info prompt saying code could harm my comp.
how do i get rid of these or at least get it down to only one prompt?
Hello I try to print some reports one-by-one using a button . In the no_data event of each form I've added a message box informing the user that the form will not be printed due to the lack of records. Everything is ok so far. However, after my message box appears and I press ok, a run-time error '2501' occurs informing me that the "openreport action has been cancelled" and promting me to end/debug the vbcode. Is there a way to by-pass this "error" and carry on without having to end/debug the project? Thank you in advance
I am having a problem with a database. On one particular computer, a user tries to save data into a current database. The database prompts the user for a password. No password is set on the database. From what I have gathered from searching the internet, it appears that the database would be corrupt, but not so fast. About 20 other people use the same database and have no problems entering data into it without getting a password prompt. Even the same user that is having problems can enter data into the database from another PC, it is only this one PC that it is prompting the user for a password. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what can I do to fix this issue without re-imaging the PC? Thanks.
I have a blank report and dragged two queries to it so that they are displayed on it. Both queries prompt for a Customer code. How do I get it that I only have to type it in once rather than for each query prompt?
I am using several queries with Region Codes coded in the query. My reports are also based on the individual queries and has a Record count statement as well --
=DCount("[State]","Reporting Query1"). All is working fine.
Now to minimize the number of queries I need to write, I want to prompt for the Region code. I can do that [Enter Region Code:]. It prompts and the report shows the expected output (only records for that region code) BUT my count statement ceases to work and I get #Error instead of the number of records. This happens no matter which field I set to prompt.
I am basically making a form to streamline the processes and functionality of my database project, so basically it's just a form that runs queries.
However, whenever it runs an action query, it always brings up a yes or no prompt for whatever action it is doing. Is there any way to disable these prompts (i.e. default yes to everything) or is this just an annoyance I will have to deal with?
I have a database with loads of different sales data from Jan 2014 with other product details as well. I also have a form where the user can input any of these data (this is based on a query):
- Campaign name - Exact Date - Month - Year - Category - Campaign Type
This should run the query, then open a report that's grouped by:
1. Year 2. Month 3. Exact Date 4. Dem name
Even if the user inputs the month and year on the form, when reopening the report, it prompts for inputting the year and month as well, but nothing else.
I am relatively new to Access and I was wondering if there is a way to automatically respond to delete table prompts when running a macro.
Currently I am running a macro that takes about 2 hours, and sporatically asks 'are you sure you want to delete table x'. I have to check on it every 10min or so to respond 'yes' or it will pause the macro. Quite a hassle if I am busy with other tasks and forget to check it.
What is the best way to impliment a query in a form so that the user can view the query records, and have the option to print or save the selected record using command buttons?
I tried subforms but I could not get the command buttons to work in the subform after it went into the form, it wanted to print the entire form instead of the selected record from the subform.
So in a nutshell I have 3-4 queries that are built, and I want to have them show up on my form in a format that the user can scroll through the results and select a single record of the results and then print or save that individual record from the form, if such a thing is possible.
Is there an easy way of entering a value in a text box, passing to a query to do a count function and then return the value of count function in to anther text box?
I have a big table, EquipmentDetails and separately I have job plans.Job plans can have many pieces of equipment. I store the relationship in EquipmentDetails_JobPlanDetails, but am feeling frustrated as I can't seem to get Access to build the SQL query from this in the way I want.
I am generating a List Box in a form which is populated from a query.The query calls on a table which lists ItemID from EquipmentDetails and JobID and in the current form (where the list box is) I want to pick up and display the ItemIDs associated with that JobID. The current JobID reaches my form correctly (I've proven this by displaying it in a text box) from the previous form.
The problem I have is that I can't seem to get the SQL query to only get ItemIDs that are linked to the current JobID. No matter what I try, it either gets all of the ones in that table, or I can't compose one.What kind of SQL do I need to only grab the ones relating to the current JobID please?I've tried building it in the design view but it says that it can't do it because the outer joins are ambiguous.
First, I am a beginner with Access. I am a graphics designer that has been assigned to cover for a db programmer that quit!
Here is my problem:
I have a database that we use to hold customer information. There are 22 fields in each record, and we are now well over 3000 records.
Once upon a time, to find a specific customer, we would just go to the bottom of the page, and use the arrow buttons to scroll through them all. This is no longer possible as the size is too big to manually search.
What I would like to do:
Upon Access startup, display a form that has a single input field and a button titled "Search". The input field is titled [UserName], as this field is the unique key identifier for the record. When the user types in the UserName and clicks the SEARCH command button, another form appears to display JUST THAT RECORD in the easy to read form!
If this is really basic, I appologize. I have 20 years experience with commercial illustration and only 7 days experience with Access. I have purchased books, and hit the forums, but I am not a VB programmer, and my skills this area are REAL weak!

I have a form for member details that comes from the member table and I want to include a button on the form that will remove the member details from the member table to a member history table and then delete the details from the member table. When moving the record I also want to include details from another table called 'promotion', this table is linked to the member table via the member ID (Foriegn Key).
Firstly I want to know if this is possible and if so how I would achieve this. I am having trouble getting the SQL query to identify the current record that the form is displaying so I can select additional information and move it into the Member History table.
