Forms :: Access Form Must Be Opened In Design View Before Use

Oct 1, 2013

I have a access form that has a text box that holds a search term. The search term is used as a variable in a query. The query results populate a list box. Selecting a result in the list box populates the rest of the form where the record can be edited. All of that works great...sort of. When first opening the form you cannot view any records. The search function works fine and the list box populates but selecting a record does not populate the rest of the form. Attempt to navigate (next, first, etc.) and you get a "You can't go to the specified record" dialog. There is a simple fix for this. Open the form as normal. Then switch to design mode. Do absolutely nothing. Switch back to form mode. All is well.

Forms :: Unable To View Object Properties In Form Design View (Access 2010)

May 16, 2014

Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?

I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.

I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.

Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?

Forms :: Text Boxes Showing In Design View But Not Display In Form View

Apr 19, 2014

I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.

Forms :: Switching From Design View Causes Access To Freeze?

Dec 30, 2014

Access 2013 on Windows 7 ..I have a Main Switchboard form which is Pop-up and Modal. Everything on it is working as required, but if I am in Design View and try to switch directly to Form view, the form disappears and the Access screen freezes - the mouse moves, but no menus or objects can be selected. If I have the VBA window open, I can carry on working in it, saving the modules and closing that window as usual. But the only way to open a form or do anything else in the main screen is to kill Access by closing the Access window in the system tray (or using the Task Manager).

If I close the Switchboard when in Design view and then open it in Form view, everything's fine.

The only recent change I can think of is upgrading from a 32-bit implementation of Access to 64-bit.

Forms :: Design View - Reducing Form Size?

Sep 24, 2014

When I create a form in design view and then open it, the form fills the whole area. The Fit To Screen property is set to No, and Auto Resize makes no difference no matter what it is set at.

How can I reduce the form size (so it looks like an Excel form)?

Design View Keyboard Shortcut - Expand Columns In Design View Of A Query

Jun 5, 2014

I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.

What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.

The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.

(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading

Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!

Forms :: Added Extra Tab - Form Showing Blank In Design And Layout View

Mar 30, 2013

My form was working fine but when I added an extra tab it started showing as completely blank in design view. When I deleted the tab I had added I still was left with the same problem!

I've attached an image of the form properties. I want to use the form to enter data so it needs to show even if there are no records.

I had read that it could be if there is no data but typing data in the tables hasn't worked either.

Blank Form In Form View But Fields Present In Design View

Oct 19, 2005

After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.

After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)

I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.

Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?

(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)

Thanks, Charlotte

Access 2000 SQL Design View

Dec 12, 2006

Hi all. I'm trying to figure out how to make a SQL query require ALL of the data in one record match ALL of the data in another record. I may be using the wrong term when I say record.

What I have is a job order form where I list order details. I list location, start date, client all of the skills the job requires. I also have a candidate form that lists candidate locations all the skills they possess. The skills for each form are drawn from a SkillsInventory table. Once I enter all of the job info into the job order form, a subform lists all matching candidates based on state, availability/start dates, skills and a couple of other items. Everything works fine with the exception that I am returning any candidates with any of the skills in the job order verses only those candidates with ALL of the skills I select for the job order.

I would assume I would enter something under one of the columns in my sql builder/design mode. If I view SQL view, here is what the statement says:

SELECT [EmployeeSkills].[SkillID], [JobOrderSkillsList].[SkillID], [Employees].[LastName], [Employees].[FirstName], [Employees].[MiddleInitial], [Employees].[EndDate], [JobOrders].[OrderID], [Employees].[City], [Employees].[DoNotCall]
FROM ((JobOrders INNER JOIN Employees ON [JobOrders].[StateID]=[Employees].[StateID]) INNER JOIN JobOrderSkillsList ON [JobOrders].[OrderID]=[JobOrderSkillsList].[OrderID]) INNER JOIN EmployeeSkills ON ([JobOrderSkillsList].[SkillID]=[EmployeeSkills].[SkillID]) AND ([Employees].[ContactID]=[EmployeeSkills].[ContactID])
WHERE ((([Employees].[EndDate])<=Date()+14) And (([Employees].[DoNotCall])=False))
ORDER BY [Employees].[EndDate];

Access 2007 Not Saving Changes In Design View

Oct 29, 2012

I'm working on an Access 2007 database and any changes I make to a form or control will not save. I click the save button, and try keyboard shortcuts but when I close the form I get a prompt "Do you want to save changes to <whatever>":

If I click "Yes" the changes still do not save and I when I close the form it starts the cycle over.If I click "No" the form closes and the changes are not saved (obviously).

There is no VBA in the project but I've still tried a recompile as suggested for older versions of Access but no luck. There are quite a few embedded macros but I'm not sure how they could be causing this.

Forms :: Design Changes Not Reflected In Subform Datasheet View

Aug 15, 2013

I have a subform whose design I am trying to change. When I make changes such as moving fields or adding fields the changes appear in form view (and layout view), but not in datasheet view. However, if I delete fields, the changes appear in both form and datasheet view.

This situation results in behavior where I can have the subform open in design view and toggle back and forth between design and datasheet view, and they are different. However, toggling between design and form view shows the changes as having taken effect.

Queries :: Access Freezes When Switching To Design View In Open Query

Jul 22, 2013

My issue is that one of my queries can be run, opened in SQL view, but not opened in design view. When I attempt to view in design view, Access freezes and I am forced to close the program. My database is split, FE on my local, BE on another computer on my LAN.

Below is the SQL, I tried to just copy and paste this code into a new query and I encountered the same issue.

Code:
SELECT tbl_SurveyJobs.job_number, tbl_JobTypes.job_type_description, tbl_Clients.company_name, tbl_SurveyJobs.start_date, tbl_SurveyJobs.end_date, tbl_SurveyJobs.comments, tbl_SurveyJobs.contact_notes, tbl_SurveyJobs.regplan_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.sheet_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.mplan_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.lot_block, tbl_SurveyJobs.township, tbl_SurveyJobs.concession, tbl_SurveyJobs.township_lot,

[Code] .....

Closing Form / Table While In Design View

Oct 13, 2014

I have several Access DB's that I work with and all of them have a close option(x in the upper right corner) on forms/tables/queries except for one. This is one that I did not create. So, when I open a form in design view to modify it, the only way to close it is to close down the DB?

Queries :: Create Update Query To Budget Table Using Access Design View?

Feb 17, 2015

trying to create an update query to Budget table using the Access Design View:

Field: PctSls (in tblBudget) Update to: [Expense] / [Sales]. The update query always returns 0. However, if I create a Select query using the same calculation, the correct results is displayed. PctSls is defined in the Budget table.

I haven't worked with Access (2003) for several years but this seems too simple to be causing me such frustration. (Was only a casual user even then).

General :: How To Allow User Add Fields To Form (without Going Into Design View)

Dec 4, 2012

I got a form called "Make quote". In this form a user can select a product from a line of fields. This "line" contains: article code, product, price and quantity the customer requests.

Each single quote can contain a very different amount of products. Some quotes just have 1 product, other quotes have 25 products.

I'm looking for a way to let the user add as many "lines" as necessary for the quote. BUT I don't want him to need to go into design view.

I'm thinking of maybe adding a button to the form which does this, but I'm not sure how.
