I get this strange behavior in multiple forms I have. When I click on a field for the first time, I get a quick popup that immediatly disappear. It only get the popup when I enter fields I added for search purpose (a listbox which has a query as source, which I build with the value from another input field that the user type in).
I get the error when :
-I enter the input field for the first time
-I type in a value for the first time
-I select an element in the listbox
-Also when I open a form for the first time (happens only for the first opened form)
I don't even have time to see what it is in fact. I had to time a screenshot to see what it was.
So, I get an error like this : "Search referenced file : MSOUTL.OLB". No text in the msgbox, only that title.

I checked google, found various reference to Outlook stuff. Problem is, I don't use any outlook stuff. I don't get any of those popup when I open the projet under Access 2013, but under Access 2010 I get them. I created the project under Access 2013, but users will use Access 2010.
I have two combos with a cost price in Column(2) where the underlying table has a field called fldCost (Number, Single, Auto). After selecting from both combos, cboF1 has 3.11 in column2 and cboF2 has 10 in column2. (eg: £3.11 and £10.00). I'm trying to add the value from both combos in an unbound text box on the form set to Fixed, 2 decimals with the ControlSource =Nz([cboF1.Column(2)])+Nz([cboF2.Column(2)]).
The result I'm getting is 3.1110 and not 13.11 as it should be.
I've tried setting everything to currency but it makes no difference. I've tried individual unbound boxes to get one result at a time then another to add them but that gives the same result.
When using the Forms wizard for a tabular form, is there ANY purpose for the Heading of the Forms to be OVER the Field headings?
I find it annoying, but maybe it is because I don't understand WHY I have to resize it every time, before I can use my field headings on the form
Hi all,
Just looking for some more advice I am creating an application that contains employee details in access. I have the majority of the database working but I am stuck on a couple of thins, Firstly I would like to add the option to be able to add an employees CV to the databse and an option to open this. I found a good example that I thought would help me and it did in post 11 of the thread below but I cannot get the files to open in MS word so they can be viewed. The majority of the files to be opened will be ms word format. I just get the error object doesnt support this property or method

I know this is an Access 101 question, but what is the best way to view text rather than numbers in my tables. In an example which I have attached, an Orders table shows the Customer field as a number. I would like to view the actual customer name when I am looking at the table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a form where the user can only enter the character asterisk or numbers. No letters or other special characters allowed.
The asterisk is a problem since its a wildcard. How do I allow the user to use it or numbers only? I've tried Validation Rules, I've tried vba but I don't seem to manage to get this to work properly.
I've current got two tables, one with Products and the other with Suppliers. The products table has a column in which I may indicate Supplier IDs that carry the product. I'd like to make a report that groups the Products by the Supplier that carries them and I'm having some trouble. The way I see this working is to relate the Supplier ID found in the Product table with the auto generated Supplier ID in the supplier table.
My trouble is this, when the field is set to text I'm able to enter values separated by commas no problem but I can't report on them because I'd be relating a number to a string. How may I overcome this?
I have a table with a bunch of values for time spent on a variety of projects. Each persons time on a project is entered using a form. What I'd like is to then be able to add some of these times to get a total department time and a total project time in the table to help with our project costs estimating. Anyone have any ideas as there doesn't seem to be an easy way in the table itself to merely add columns. Thanks in Advance.

Hello all,
I have a table, with a whole series of reference numbers in, which I have moved over from an old database, and am trying to integrate the data into my new database.
The numbers, in order to work with my new db need to be 6 characters long (as they are looked up in a sql-stored table that another application uses), otherwise it won't match up the clients to the reference numbers properly.
Anyway, some of these numbers are 6 digits anyway, such as 123456, but some are just 6543....I need 6543 to be changed to 006543, thereby creating a 6 digit number.
This, I am sure, is pretty simple, and only needs to be done the once - but I can't think of a way of doing it!
Any help much appreciated!
I have a database where on the form we are just put in total deductions. We want to make sure that the total deductions is correct so while we are entering this number we want to do an excel thing by hitting = 1 + 1. Anytime we do that we are getting an error message. I really didn't want to have to set up a table to store these different amounts because we really only need the total. Is there a way to do that? I changed the format from currency to general but I'm still getting the error.

I have created a report in Access 2002, that I use to export to
Excel. My problem is the field names in the report are quite long
and some are very similar to each other. I can not find a way to
view a list of the field names for the report while in Desing view.
I have no real formatting on the report as I only use it for exporting, and
looking at the report itself in Access, all the field names are truncated
Any help on how to view which fields are in the report and how could
I easily add another field in the middle of it if needed.

I am trying to view the contents of a text field in a form. The field can only be a limited size in the form, but I want to store a lot of text in the field and have it visible without having to enter the field and use the arrow keys to view the contents. Is it possible to programme a function that shows the contents of a field when I roll the mouse over it or something like that? The "Control Tip Text" is the principal of what I am trying to do except this gives a fixed value. When used in web page development I think this function is refered to as "Alt tag"
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report that will not preview as full screen unless I hit the button in the right corner. Is there a way to default it to large every time?
Along the same line, I have a form that opens with the menu just fine but when I return to it after running the report, it comes back full screen instead of the size it should.
I am sure these are easier ones for some of you but I can't seem to solve it.

I'm working on a pretty serious report (at least for me)...I have 3 sub-reports inside, and the point of this is to use VBA and loop through several conditions (in the underlying queries), and print out in a batch for the user. When I add a page number footer it adds about 3 seconds to the processing time for a 14 page report. That doesn't sound like a whole lot, but when I loop through and process this 12 times, that's a lot of added time for the user...(the last thing I want to hear is it's slow!)
So, would it be faster if I set the page numbers in VBA? What event would I use? On Load?!? Also, how would I find the page number variables in VBA?
I am trying to create a (normally simple) application, but not having a solid grasp on the concepts of recordsets. The application is serial number tracking for appliances.
The functionality needs to be able to:Search for serial numbers using partial strings (i.e. serial # "T12395723K39" can be located by entering "3K3")
If the serial number does not already exist, allow for adding it.
If data was added erroneously, allow editing to correct it.
The first 2 points are complete but I am struggling with the last. After a user performs a search, I store the results of that search to a temporary table for easy viewing of applicable records.
To allow someone to edit, they simply double click on one of those records to open a seperate form and edit.
When I displayed the content of the temporary table in the form for editing, I found it was not updating the original table.
When I create a separate recordset, using the values of the record selected, the recordset appears to be empty, therefore not displaying the correct record for editing.
My main table name is "SerialNumbers". The code below is triggered when the user double clicks on the desired record to edit.
Private Sub Claim_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
'************************************************* ********************
'* Subroutine to take values from search results for editing record. *

I want to add a date from viewing the calendar. When I click on the date text box then want to see the calendar and I will choose the date and that date will appear in the text box.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a form based on a mysql table. There is a button in the footer to add a new record.
The pertinent vba code: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
It adds the new record and properly places the cursor in the first field. Immediately after the first letter is typed, the error message "Field cannot be updated" pops up. I can click ok and the message goes away and I am able to continue filling in the fields. The same thing happens if I add the record by use of the record selectors.
Basically what I have is a database for tracking/logging parcels that arrive to the office. I want to be able to generate a reference number based on the date of arrival: i.e. the reference number should be ddmmyy### where ### is a sequential number. I know that I could just use the primary key's autonumber, for the sequential number but if I do this then the sequence will not restart at 1 on each date and because we receive a lot of parcels the reference number will grow to be too big to print out on the collection slips in just a few months.
two tables (one with the date and staff on duty that day and the other with the parcel's info') with a one to many relationship
I also have a query (Named: FullLog) that picks up the following data from the tables:
Name - Description - Size - TrackingInfo' - Staff - DateReceived - Count
The field named Count is a DCount function that I used to find out the number of times each date is repeated. This is the Expression that I used:
Count: DCount("*","FullLog","DateReceived = " & [DateReceived]) [Note that DateReceived is first converted into a string using CStr()]
This is as far as I have been able to get, I have been looking for weeks for a solution to this problem but I have yet to find one. I don't even know if the DCount function is the correct way of doing it, I did read somewhere that this produces a very slow query.
Effectively what I want to be able to get is something of that resembles the following
DateReceived - ReferenceNo
051013 051013001
051013 051013002
051013 051013003

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to automatically populate a certain field. To add some context, I have a form which registers the details of a contact with standard information of contact details. There is a subform which shows the different products that the client from the main form is interested in. This is a actually a data sheet which returns the results of a query (selecting from the relevant table the client in question and the products he/she wants).
I have added a button which opens up another form and allows a product (and hence a new record) to be added for that particular client. I would like that the form automatically populates one of the fields in the form that is the client id. Given that the subform is opened from a form which already identifies the client, how do I do this?
