Hi,
I have developed a small database with 3 or 4 forms which works ok on most PC's. But when I put it on a certain PC, it almost works properly except for one form which is very slow accessing the table!
Eg. It could take 2 minutes to use a combobox.
All PC's have Access 2000.
Would there be a reason for this?
Is this an access problem or a PC problem? Are there special settings that I'm unaware of?
Thanks in advance
I have a database with a table that contains 360,000 rows. I built a form with four boxes where a user can specify values to limit the result set. And instead of having a new window open with the results, I built a subform and placed it on the main form to display the results.
Here is how it flows:
Main Form -> user enters search criteria
Search Criteria -> feed as criteria in query
Query Results -> display on subform
Subform -> shows on main form
The query is setup to take the values from the main form and either use it if it's not null, or return all values if the field is null.
The problem I am having is that on opening the main form, Access is taking the four null values from the main form search fields, feeding them to the query, which is then feeding the subform. So 10 minutes later when the main form finally opens, I have 360K records displaying in my subform.
What I would like is to be able to open the main form instantly, specify my search criteria, then run the query, then have the query results populate the subform.
What do I need to do?
Hi All,
I'm having trouble with access. Basically it has been very slow to load
(over 30 seconds when not opening a database) and when opening a database it just crashes.
Has anyone any idea what could cause this as it worked fine before ?
also would a reinstall help ??

Hi all
I was hoping to get a little advice as to my problem. I have a database with many, many reports, forms and queries. I wanted to split the database to secure the tables and important data. So I use the database splitter wizard and ever thing went just fine. So now my database1 looks into database1_be for all tables.
My problem is: my program now runs very slow. The slowest seems to be when I am adding a new record. I can live with the slowness of retrieving an existing record. I do not have a server nor can I afford one at this time, so currently I am running a peer-to-peer network with the database1_be located on one of my computers second hard drive.
Is there something I can do to help speed things up?
Thanks Enviva
Ill start from the dawn of time
right all tables are like a 2d array so does any body know how i can access a field in a row of a table ie like in most languages it goes a bit like this ArrayName(1,1) with ArrayName being the name of the table and that access the first field of the first row. im new to Vba and access 2000 but all i want to do is access the fields in a column of a sub-form displayed as a table add them all up and place the answer in a text box on the main form stick all this in a function so i can run it inside a macro
q1 is this possable
q2 how do you do it
thanks in advance john
Hi!
I'm making a test database for DVD rentals. When A loan is made I have an update query that sets some fields in the DVD copy table. One of these fields needs to be set to the primary key of the loan made. This would be the last entry on the loans table. I don't have any idea what to put in the 'Update To' box in the query though.
Wrong code here, but this may help explain what I am trying to get: Tables.Loans.LastLoan.Loan ID
Also heres an image of my query:

Help would be much appreciated. Thanks :)
Ok my database tracks escalations through my team, I have a main table that stores the unique ID's from the other tables I use in my Combo boxes, this part works really well, no problems.
My issue is with a tableI have claled "TBL_EscJournal", this table has the following fields:
JournalID (Unique Ref, generated by autonumber)
EscID (the escalation Id that this journal is relevant to)
Journalcreator (captures name of person who as entered the journal)
JournalNotes (memo field where you enter your update)
JournalDate (Date/Time the journal was entered)
So typically when viewing the main detailed form for a particular escalation I have a subform that shows all the journal entries relevant ot that escalation.
This table is huge, about 70% the total size of my database, partly because of the number of journal entries and partly because it is a memo field and a lot of data is required sometimes.
Up until now th edatabase has been located on a local server and has been fine for local users (2-3 of us) however there is a requirement for another office to use this database.
I am now experiencing massive performance issues, whereby the data is tkaig a long time to refresh on the other sites.
I have migrated the DB over to a SQL back end but still finding performance issues, which further testing has shown that the TBL_EscJournal is the cause.
So a coupel of things really, is there another way I can layout this table to improve performance or should I be uerying the data from this tabel in another way, would it be better for me to split TBL_EscJournal in two, the first part keeping the date/time and person who entered and the second part keeping the notes. Possibly increasing the query speed by carrying out the query on the first part of the table and not on the notes (memo) part ?
I hope this makes sense, if not feel free to PM me,
Appreciate any help or assitance you could offer

Hi folks,
I have an Append Query (Insert Into...) that I use to insert values into a table from a form. But to have that tie into other tables I need to gather the Student_ID (primary key) that is autogenerated when the record is inserted. How do I do this? I want to store it in a public variable. I've done quite a bit of searching but nothing of any value has turned up. Please help.
What I have on button press:
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Register Camp Students"
After that I need something to gather that newly inserted Student_ID and store it for later use. Please help!
Ciao,

Hello All,
Yesterday only i designed my first form in VB.I designed a tab form as i have to place two kinds for data from the same table separately (for user convience).i was succesfull in that.But the problem is the form is very slow to load........very very slow......
i want to know whether Tab form are slow or i have made any mistake..
any solution please.....
Hi all,
I've got this simple thing.. which I couldn't do and stuck for a long long time.. I have done some programming in a few languages, but not in SQL or VBA and I quite confused about programming styles that VBA and SQL accepts.
I'm currently working in Microsoft access and the thing I'm stuck on is retriving field value from a record and writing into another record on the same table.
For example the table "Table-users" looks like the following:
ID Name Year Month Date
1 Steven 1979 9 18
2 Jeremy 1977 10 22
3 Eslynn 1988 10 10
I've built a form that contains two lables (combobox), "ReplaceMe" "LoadMe" and a command button. Which end user could choose which record to load and which to replace.
I wish to copy Year, Month and Date from LoadMe into ReplaceMe without effecting the Replace me ID and Name.
The VBA, SQL code i've got looks like.
-----------------
'Command_Click is the tigger button to active the following code.
Private Sub Command37_Click()
'Below is an example of what I wanted to do field by field. However, in the real
'environment, I needed to move about 20 odd field into another object. I'm not sure
'to use Append or Update Query
Dim UpdateSQL As String
Dim text1 As String
Dim text2 As String
Dim text3 As String
'this loads the string containt-the Name of the object-into text1.
'this line works fine, arr.. other ones don't.......
text1 = Me!ReplaceMe
text2 = Me!LoadMe
'Load the month of the LoadMe.
text3 = Table![Table-users = text2].month
'Loads the SQL instruction into UpdateSQL
'Table-table is a table, containing several objects and fields.
UpdateSQL = "INSERT INTO [Table-users].text1( [Day], [year], [month] ) " & _
"SELECT Table-users.Day, Table-users.year, Table-users.month" & _
"FROM Table-users" & _
"WHERE (((Table-users.Name)='ReplaceMe'));"
DoCmd.RunSQL UpdateSQL
End Sub--------------------
Well the obvious, the above code doesn't run.
If LoadMe = Jeremy, ReplaceMe = Steven, the above code should return:
ID Name Year Month Date
1 Steven 1977 10 22
2 Jeremy 1977 10 22
Making Steve's Year, Month and Date field the same as jeremy
======================
What I think i'm confused about is when do I use [ ] ( ) ! .
Like... if I wanted to read the field value of "Date" from the object from the "Name" in combo box "LoadMe", what should I write?
ie, if the combo box "LoadMe" contains Eslynn. The end result should be 22.
Many thanks
This is my problem, i am new to asp and dreamweaver. Yet i have no knowlege source to refer on. all i have learned is through trial and error.
What i am trying to do is create a log for 15 dept. Each dept has their own log which is represented in the database as tables.
I want to make only 10 pages. not the 150 asp pages that i will have to do unless i can get any help.
What i want is that when someone logs in, based on a variable in their userdata that it will display the log from the correct table.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it. i have racked my brain for weeks...
I have a database with a number of tables 2 of which are:
# Personal Members Table (with all their details and addresses and contact details)
# Organisation Table (including who are members of this Org)
My conundrum is this; In the Org table I have just created a 'Treasurer' Field and want to choose a name from the Members Table so that I do not have to put the data in twice (which is what has happened in the past.)
I have linked the tables and but within the Members table the Field names for the Personal Name are as follows <FirstName> <LastName> and there is another for the <Org> they are connected with...
In the Members table it would also be good to have the ability to hover the mouse over the <org> field (or click) on it and then underneath a box appears with everyone who is a member of that org. I have seen this working on another database but cannot seem to replicate it here for some reason?
I have a set of maybe 5 template word docs which I populate with info form our database using bookmarks , the word docs are currently sat in a shared network drive.
I have started wonder if it would be better to store them in a table and call them from there to keep things together.
I have my application split, BE and FE. This is a form with a subform.For both I have the properties set to
Data Entry NO
Allow additions NO
Allow Deletions NO
Allow Edits NO
anyone person can open the form, but when a second person tries to open the same form we get the standard, locked by user or user does not have permission.If user 1 logs out then user 2 can get in. So it seems not a permission issue but some setting I have wrong. maybe at the query or table level?
Hi,
I'm building a DB where I have multiple users. I would like to have all data in 1 table but only give access to records created by the individual user. Is this possible?
Alternatively, if each user has it's own table, how can I report on the sum of all tables.:confused:
Cheers,
Rene
Closing a form with a large amount of records is slow after sorting the records, is there a way to avoid this.
Its slower to close after sorting than the the sum of the time to close the form and sort the records, which doesn't seem to make much sense.
Can anyone help?

Hi guys. I am stumped with a 45 second delay when I startup my application. I get the delay on networked workstations only when another workstation is up showing the Main "switchboard" form. Each workstation has their own copy of VBA (not compiled) with networked versions having linked tables to the server's .mdb
It seems like the workstations know that the main form is up somewhere else and need to negotiate with it. All have the (Access 2000) Default open mode to Shared, Default record locking to No Locks, and Open database using record-level locking On.
:confused:
I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how I can speed this form up. I have similar forms that don't calculate as much but are much faster when updating the date.
Basically, I have a make table query that pulls all units due to be delivered between a certain time period, that are a specific priority and we input how many days we want to push the delivery date back.
A form opens that shows the Job Code, Run, Door Style, Special Color, Lot Delivery Date, W/O Due Date, W/O Start Date and a Change check box. If the Change check box is selected the W/O Due Date moves back however many days entered. Based on the new W/O Due Date and whether or not a Raised Panel door or Special Color was selected the WOSD resets as well.
Here is the code I have used. It takes a little over a minute to update 1 line and we may need to move several lines. After all the units needed to move are selected, an update query is run updating the information in the actual tables used in the make table query.
Private Sub Change_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.Change = True Then
Call UpdateWODDChange
Call UpdateWOSDChange
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Close()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpdateWODDPriorityChange"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMenu"
End Sub
Private Sub UpdateWODDChange()
Dim intNumDays As Integer
intNumDays = Forms!frmUpdateWODDbyPriority.Form.PushForwardDays
Me.WODD = AddWorkdays(Me.LotDelDate, intNumDays)
End Sub
Private Sub UpdateWOSDChange()
Dim AddColor As Boolean
Dim intNumDays As Integer
If Not (Forms!frmUpdateWODDbyPriority.Form.SpecialColor = 0) Then
AddColor = True
Else
AddColor = False
End If
Select Case Me.DoorStyle
Case "Eagle", "H/E", "F/E", "RP-9", "RP-22", "RP-23"
If AddColor Then
intNumDays = 7
Else
intNumDays = 6
End If
Case Else
If AddColor Then
intNumDays = 7
Else
intNumDays = 5
End If
End Select
Me.WOSD = MinusWorkdays(Me.WODD, intNumDays)
End Sub
I have a form. It has about 75+ bound text boxes, and about 25+ unbound text boxes that calculate values. And about a dozen command buttons. The code behind all this mess prints off in about a dozen pages.
Everything works. BUT, it takes around two or three minutes from clicking to open the form before the form appears. (There is no delay in moving between records.)
If I go into design mode, it takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes for it to save changes.
I noticed things really slowed down as I started copying controls.
Is there anything I can do to speed up this monster?

I currently am trying to do this:
dim a as form
a = me.form
I get the following error: "Invalid use of property"
Is there a function that lets you select a form using its name.
eg: makeactiveform("NameOftheForm")
Or alternatively if there is a function that gets the activeform. (it's for use in a module)
I you can help me Thank you!
i searched for slow loading and found some fast internet packages on <web address removed by moderator>. By following the tips i just purchased now fast broadband but now i am facing the problem of slow loading on my local computer, is it due to any bugg with microsoft package or my system is infected by virus.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Continuous form that is used to place orders in my Purchase order Database. I have a combo box with a Textbox over laid, so the users can type in the Textbox and it filters the combo box as they type. This is to search Nominal ledger codes that the current user has set up.
This has been working fine, but now finding issues as people have 400+ Nominal coeds set up. So there is a lag when the user is typing.Is there a better way of doing this? i have a similar setup to search a supplier but this is not a continuous form and the majority of objects are un bound.

i am using a form like form customer orders in northwind 2003 database. in my form there are 3 sub forms.data of subform1 will be filtered by one of the field in the main form.subform2 will be filtered by one of the field in the subform1 and ...
also i have added some code for highlighting current row of each form/sub form , now my problem is when navigate thorough records of main form by using navigation button , showing each record after pressing navigation button is a bit slow (it takes 5 seconds), problem is from subforms or codes for highlighting current row?
I have two subforms. They are in nice neat grids as access setup for me. Both of these forms should have similar data, based on a upc. What I need to do is turn the text of an entire row to red when there is no matching upc in the other subform. The two problems I cannot figure out is as follows.
1. How can I access the forecolor property of a text box in a subform from the main form?
2. How do I access only one row of data, in the default grid?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
I'm working with a form (MainF) ... which has a subform (MainSubF). The subform has buttons that link you to other forms. When you click on one of those buttons, I have a control number that links the two forms by putting a CTR field into the linked form with a ctr defaul that = forms!mainf!ctr.
My problem is that I'd like to use this subform on other forms. However, if I put the subform onto another form such as "MainTwo", none of the buttons on the subform will work because the path is now wrong. Is there a generic way to connect the buttons to whatever form the subform is attached to??
