Hello,
i am relatively new to databases so this is a fairly basic question.....
I have a form. Within this form all records are locked as i do not wish users to change details. However i am told there is an option allowing the editing of existing records upon request. is this true?, as it would improve my form greatly
help would be much appreciated
thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which was locked down (ie Allow additions, allow edit and allow deletions were all set to no) on the Form property. I want to change this to allow edits so in design mode I changed the Allow Edits property to Yes.
I then went to Form view and was able to update fields on the form. When I exited the form it asked me if I wanted to save the changes so I clicked yes.
On going back into the form I can no longer update the fields I could before. Going into design mode I can see that Allow edits on the form property is set to no again.
What is happening here. There is nothing in the on load or other events to set this to no, besides this shouldn't change the form property should it?
I know I can get around it my setting the property in the form itself but why is the property getting reset in the first place.
Access 2010.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form called Contacts that has two tabs. One is called General adn the other Calls.
In the General tab I have a bound field called CustomerIDdet which can be numeric or alphanumeric. I need to disable edits in the General tab but not in the Calls tab if CustomerIDdet is numeric (and it follows certain additional rules)
I have placed this code in the Onload even for the form:
Code:
If Len(CustomerIDdet) = 9 Then
If IsNumeric(CustomerIDdet) Then
If Right(CustomerIDdet, 4) = 9090 Then
If Left(CustomerIDdet, 1) = 0 Then
'disable editing in the General tab
End If
End If
End If
End If
I know how to disable edits control by control, but can I disable edits in all controls in that tab at once?
I have created an ACL table (access control list) where I have the fields UserID,FormName,CanSee and CanEdit.
When the user opens the db, the on open event gets the LoggedOnUserName and then check my ACL table to either prevent viewing or editing.
I have got the prevent viewing part working, but am having a small problem with the prevent edits.
I can set the property to prevent edits, but i need the user to be able to search records. the combo box is disabled if I use the following code.
MyCount = DCount("User_ID", "dbo_NPY_ACL_User", "(dbo_NPY_ACL_User.User_ID)=" & MyUserId & " AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.CanEdit)=False) AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.NavBtn_ID)=" & MyTab & ")")
If MyCount > 0 Then
Me.AllowEdits = False
end if
i have a form that has a record source
Code:
SELECT tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.Surname,
tblClientDetails.MobileTelephoneNumber, tblClientDetails.SentTextMarketing
FROM (tblCategories INNER JOIN tblItems ON tblCategories.CategoriesID = tblItems.CategoriesID)
INNER JOIN ((tblClientDetails INNER JOIN tblOrders
[Code] .....
this does not allow edits on a continuous form. the edit i am trying to do is the check box. it will allow edits if the grouping is not on but if it is not on then i will get many duplicates of client details.
so how do i set it up to allow edits but still only get one instance of each client detail.
I have a form for inputting Crisp Brands. On the form is a Txt_box for entering the crisp brand an unbound txt box for renering the text box to ensure spelling is correct and a lst_box listing all existing crisp brands in the sytem.
First question is:
1) When i open the form i only want to be able to add new entries and not be able to edit old entries. However i would like some people to have the ability to edit existing ones. Is it best to create two forms one for new entries adn one for editing or is it best to add a command button on form for editing.
2) how do i achieve new entries only?
I'm creating a database about Vets and I need to make a button on my menu form that will open something like message box that will allow me to type in something (in my case Customer ID) which will then apply the filter on the customer form and allow me to do edits. I have only done the macro that will open the customer form but can't figure out how to do the filter part.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI thought "Undo" was only available while in the current record.Here were my steps:
1 - Loaded form that shows 1 record per form page.
2 - Edited a record
3 - Moved to another record with status bar nav arrow
4 - Verified my edit was in the underlying table
5 - Moved back to the original record, again using status bar nav arrow
6 - Clicked my "undo" control and the original data appeared in the form
7 - Moved to another record
8 - Verified my original data was now back in the underlying table
My undo control has this vba on click:
Code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form "Handover" on this form I have a button that enables edit functionality once clicked, I now have a subform on this form named "Bdown".
The Bdown subform allows edits without having to click the "btn_Edit" on the main form "Handover".
Is is possible to make the edit button on "Handover" control the edit function on "Bdown" also?
Currently "Handover" contains:
Code:
Private Sub btn_Edit_Click()
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.btn_Edit.Caption = "Editing"
End Sub

I have a simple split form with datasheet on the bottom and a couple of comboboxes (unbound) on the form header which the user can use for filtering the data. When some users open the form the allowedit property of the form is set to false, because those users can only view the records. But the result is that also the comboboxes cannot be set, hence no filtering!

I have at least 200 excel spreadsheets that get updated every day with closing prices of commodities. I want to run a breakout query against every spreadsheet to see if today's close is a new 20 day breakout. What is the best way to organize the access table or tables? Put all the data in one table or have separate tables for each contract and run one query against the group? I need to be able to update the tables everyday so that today's close info is included. I have a working query that works with a single dynamically linked spreadsheet to table, but I don't want to set this up for all 200 spreadsheets. Can this process be duplicated? I have tried to modify the query to run against two separate tables, but was unsuccessful. Since there are so many potential tables, if that is the best way to do it, how can you say select all tables and then run the query?
Here is the query I have written:
SELECT WZ07.Symbol, WZ07.AlphaDeliveryMonth, DateSerial(Val(Left([ddate],4)),Val(Mid([ddate],5,2)),Val(Right([ddate],2))) AS transdate, WZ07.DClose
FROM WZ07
WHERE (((DateSerial(Val(Left([ddate],4)),Val(Mid([ddate],5,2)),Val(Right([ddate],2)))) Between Date()-28 And Date()-1) AND ((WZ07.DClose)=(select max([WZ07].DClose) from [WZ07])));
The WZ07 is the December Wheat contract for 2007. This is what the excel spreadsheets are named. I had to do a dateserial command to turn a number into a date(couldn't make access recognize that 20070831 was August 31,2007) All the column headings on all the spreadsheets are the same: Symbol, AlphaDeliveryMonth, DDate(transdate),Close
I know that this is both about tables and queries so I wasn't sure where to post this. Thanks for your help.
I have an Append Query that I developed and am wanting to use the SQL View statement in a piece of VBA code that I am writing. The problem is that it is not working.
Here is the SQL View when I am in Query Design View.
Code:INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList ( AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec] )SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpecFROM TEMPAcctWHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));
Here is the code I have in VBA...
Code:Dim strSQL As StringstrSQL = "INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList (AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec]) "strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpec "strSQL = strSQL & "FROM TEMPAcct "strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));"DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
The code runs fine in that no errors are generated, but it does not append the records. When I run the query outside of VBA, it does append the records. Is there something special that needs to be done with an action query for the SQL statement to work in VBA?
Hi all. I am looking for a formula to calculate a commission, based on the total sales price. The commission is a sliding scale. Ex. if sale price is 200 or less, commission = 30%; if sale price is 201-500, commission = 25% on 201-500 & 30% of 1st 200; if sale price is 501-1000, commission = 20% on 501-1000, 25% of 201-500 & 30% of 1st 200; if sale price is 1001+, commission = 15% on 1001+, 20% on 501-1000, 25% on 201-500, & 30% on 1st 200. Does that make sense? In other words, if sale price is 300, I want commission to be 30% of 200 + 25% of 100, which = 85. Is there a way to write this in one formula?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDear All:
I am totally clueless on this one. Here is the statement I am using in a textbox in a report:
=DCount("[Transcript_type]","[Diplomas_requested_per_month]","[Transcript_type]='Official copy'")
This report is based on a query. The query is called "Diplomas_requested_per_month". The fields in the query are: "Transcript_type" and "Request_date". In this query there is Between [Start Date] And [End Date].
I am attempted to count the number of "Official Copy" for a specified month.
I am propted to input the start date and ending date, it works great when I run the query. But in the report, I get a "#error".
I am thankful for who have responded to the previous posting of this issue, but I am completely lost.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I set up what I thought was a simple query in my DB using it to create a report containing a subreport.
I kind of works, however Access is asking me for the parameter value [Extract Date] multiple times, when in theory it should only ask once!
In addition (and likely related) the Access is then repeating the output multiple times.
I want to allow users of a database to view data through a form but not to edit or delete it. I have set Allows Edits, Deletes and Additions to "No", but this causes the record-finding combo box I have to search for records to stop working. It works again if I enable Allow Edits, but then users can edit the data through the rest of the form. Is there a way I can allow edits to the combo box but not the rest of the form?

I'm an Access idiot - please be kind :o
I made a little Access app for a friend, to do his invoices. Access wouldn't allow me to copy the db to a CD, but advised me to convert it to a Master. I followed all the instructions (honest!). Afterwards, I could burn his db to a CD and, on his computer, it opened but wouldn't allow edits or new records - not terribly helpful for an invoicing program :eek:
Since then I've tried creating a new admin in his name, re-setting all permissions, blah blah ... Basically, it looks like there is loads of help on securing a database but very little on un-securing it enough to be transferred to another PC!
The dang thing persists in allowing everything except edits & additions :confused:
I can't find out how to convert it back from a Master to ... what, a slave? :p
Even so, that wouldn't be the answer coz I'd be back at square1.
I use a PC running XP and Office 2003. My invoice-less friend has a PC with Win[NT]2000 and Office 2000. I converted the database to Access 2000. I am way out my depth here, but hoping you Access swimmers will be able to advise :cool:
Hello,
I have a db where a planner inputs a commit date. The problem lately, is that the commit changes day to day before the part if filled.

Thank you in advance.
