Today my Access database at work evidently burped! Now when I click on the Form that I want to open nothing happens! The Table still exists with info in it and the Reports still are there but the Form does not open at all. Thanks for your help.
View RepliesHey guys,

Hi ..
I have a lot of forms in my database. This database is already half way complete. I was not able to edit the data in the so I unlocked all the forms and allowed it to be edited, deleted and all those data related stuffs.
but I realised that making these changes makes all the data in the form lost.
All these forms are related but the data is only lost to those froms in which I make changes.
What should I do so that I dont lose the data and still I can work with the forms

Hallo,
I'm quit new to Access.
I have an existing application. There is a form with some selection fields. When I press the button report then following is executed:
- The report object is called with DoCmd.OpenReport Rpt, acPreview
- This report has object dependencies with the query qryRptClient AND the form frmClient. This is the form with the selectia criteria.
The query "qryRptClient" has nested query's but in some of them, in the where clause fields are tested like: "WHERE (tblTempProject.country=forms!frmClientReq!cmbCoun try"
Generating of the report works correct ==> so far so good.!
Now the application must be extended by exporting this report result to XML file. So I have added on the form another button wich is calling the same query Like:
Application.ExportXML _
ObjectType:=acExportQuery, _
DataSource:="qryRptClient", _
DataTarget:="c:Projecten estexports" & FileName
But now I get for every selection criteria field which is used in the query's a popup window asking what the value is of this form object.
So, I understand with the report that there is a link between the report, query and the form but in the second occassion how do I get a link between the query and the form.
Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
Nico.
P.s. When I try this with northwind database, with the query invoices, it working correct and I get a XML file! So the export on itself is working.
Hello,
I have a database with a huge table on the back-end, and then I want to set up various front-ends that will only show particular records that a user is interested in.
I notice that, when I query the big table without any join, I get all the records and also a space for entering a new record--that's what I want. But, when I add a join that serves to filter the records to the ones the particular user would be interested in, the space for entering a new record goes away. This is the case whether I view the query itself, or the form that uses the query.
Does anyone know how I can keep the ability to add new records while also making the query a bit more complex?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am a total newbie to access.
We have a small business and i do all the admin. I've created a database of all our contacts (name, address, phone number, fax number, etc) and i've managed to create a form that allows me to enter the data into that instead of directly into the database window.
The last thing i want to do is create a search form or add a button to my existing data entry form that will allow me to type in a contacts name, address, or any other thing about them i remember at the time, and be taken straight to that entry. Once this is done that is all i need to know for the moment.
I've tried an example i found on microsoft's site but can't get it to work properly.
Can anybody help. I'd imagine this is very very simple but i can not get the answer myself.
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
Hopefully a simple question here. I looking to create a form that creates a contract for a particular client we deal with (grounds maintenance). In that form I'm looking to give the end user the option of selecting an existing billing address (for a property mgmt. company for example) to to enter a new one (which would then be added to tblBillingAddresses).
What I would like to have is a dropdown menu that automatically generates all the billing addresses we have (just company name, short address) so the end user can simply select the address as opposed to having to look up the auto number attached to it.
What would be better would be to be able to use have an independent lookup that classifies each billingaddress as MgmtCompany or SingleCompany, and have the aforementioed dropdown menu only generate those BillingAddresses that are infact Mgmt Companies.
How would you reccomend I go about doing this WITHOUT having to manually enter a new mgmt company to the dropdown menu each time we enter into business with such a company (I need a real-time search query based on the above criteria, in a dropdown menu within our contract From.)
Thanks a million

when i open a form i want to open another frm at the same time. i have a main form with some buttons in it. when i click on a button and a form opens then i am not able to click on a button to open other forms from the main form.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I want to open another form automatically when an initial form opens, both are non popup) I have tried open and load events - but still the calling form appears on top of the called form.
How do I get the two forms to open form 1 and then form 2?
Also I cannot use the timer event as this is doing something else.
Thanks

I would like to make a query+ report so that in the report it looks like this:
<<Name>> <<Surname>>

in one line, at the moment I made a query and the name shows 3 times...
can anyone here give me some hints how to show the name once + the match. Thanks in advance

I am new to using MS Access and am already frustrated that a simple task is getting the better of me.
My situation is that I work for a company that has a number of reps, which are allocated their own ticket books(block). Each book is 50 tickets in size i.e say from number 320500 to 320549. All tickets are entered through our internal system for whatever the ticket was used for.
Now here is my problem. Each block is registered to an individual rep which we need to keep record of as to which tickets are allocated to them, other then having to enter each ticket individually into our ticket block records system, I am trying to make a database entry that accepts the reps name, ticket block start number and then automatically adds the next 50 tickets to that rep, so when we use a search field on any ticket it displays the rep that the ticket was allocated too.
In my head i'm looking for the MS Access way of doing the following:
[tickblockstart]+1 until [ticketblockstart] = [ticketblockstart]+50
Can anyone help me with this probably very easy problem, that i can not seem to grasp at the present time.

hiya, im trying to create a button my form that will move all 'finished' records from where they presently are, to another table.
the button does work, it moves the records into the 'new' table, however it does not DELETE them from the table i moved them from, so now the records are stored in two tables??
the code i have is as follows:
SELECT * INTO Table2
FROM Table1
WHERE Finished='Yes';
if there is something different that i should be doing, or a better way to do this move, please let me know.
(also if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it)
thanks!
:confused: Fingers crossed I'll get some direction to resolve an issue that I can't even begin to imagine how to search for.My database is used to record detailed work done with clients who are receiving regular support. I'm designing it around a Common Assessment Support Framework that I have no choice but to follow, except for some minor points. There is the potential for approximately 40 different assessments for each client and therefore a lot of duplication in personal details.So far this forum has been a great help and I have learned a lot from those who volunteer their time to those of us who need it from time to time.Following the numerous examples of normalisation posts I have attempted to ensure there is no duplication of information across tables. I've come to a point however where I am stuck:The end result of what I am trying to do is create an individual report called Needs Assessment Planning Tool - rptNAPT.The report will be populated from the fields in qryNAPT that is made up from tblIA1 and tblIA2tblIA1 consists of 17 x 'area of need' that is broken down in to 5 elements: 'Now - Y/N', 'Later - Y/N', 'User Level - Number', 'Worker Level - Number' and 'Disagreement - Memo'. These fields are entered by using frmIA1, and these fields are entered by using frmIA2.So, now I have to enter data in to another form; frmNAPT that includes both theseand thesefields. I only need to show the area of need where Now is True in the form and the subsequent report; rptNAPT.My thoughts about this are (please don't laugh) in the form frmNAPT the 'Area of Need' because in the table there are 17 different areas e.g. Accommodation (improvement), Homelessness, DomesticViolence etc will need to be unbound and in some way filtered to show only those area of need where fldNow is True? and fldUserLevel is NotNull or doesn't equal zero. I will need a minimum of five such fields to show the Areas of Need that the Client and Worker may elect to work on.Sorry for the long post but I'd really appreciate some direction on this, even if it is only to point me in the direction of a link that can be helpful.RegardsDoug

I have been trying to figure out comboboxes and lookup tables on and off for two weeks now and am completly lost. I have read the tutorial on cascading combos. I have downloaded and studied the the autofill db example from Pat Hartman. I have searched and read the threads and am still having a problem. I have several lookup tables. I will use one as example. This a database for my lawfirm. We get a lot of referrals from other attorneys. I have a lookup table with the name, address and phone of all attorneys. I have a combobox on my clientinfo form that looks up the atty info . I put the attorneyid field in my clientinfo table as FK and linked my clientinfo table to the attorney table thru this field. All this did was generate an error message that I could not save my record because there was no corresponding Atty record. I know this should be so simple. Can someone please help me? What do I with data I have lokked yup from a lookup table and how do I link it to the tables that will need it later on? Thank you in advance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGood afternoon all,
Really struggling with my structure and have been looking at it for so long my head hurts so any advice would be great. (see attached)
Basically, I want a DB for keeping track of service / repair of electronic machines. Many of our customers also call us for tech support. There are a number of other items like purchases but once I have worked out one, I can then copy the methods.
Are my relationships even remotely correct?
I cannot get the calls log to work - loosly based on the sample a supplied with Access "contact managment".
:confused:
Any help / advise would be greatly received
I have 5 forms and 5 tables.
The database is blank, but the information entered into the forms are saved into the tables.
Now I want to make a query so I can see some statistics regarding the information entered into the forms and stored in the tables.
I have created a query, but Im not sure what to do next, do I connect it to the query and it should give me desired output or do I connect the form to the table
or how does it work ?
need some feedback Im a little bit lost in this :(
regards
Frodo
I recently moved by database from one hard drive to another - all is working ok after refreshing the links. However I have a few queries and reports that are date or date/time specific. (ie; I input a specific start / end date or start/end hour) Now when I run these queries it returns an error message stating 'Data type mismatch in criteria expression'
Please does anyone know why and how can I restore the queries ? Prior to the move all queries / reports worked OK.
Best Wishes
Richard
