I have Ms Access table with OLE Object column. So I am using form to handle this table. I want to store word documents in this column. Now, to add new item I should right click on OLE field, then choose "Insert object", then choose Microsoft Word Document.
How can I to automate this process? How can I automatically insert empty word document on adding new item?
I'm on my way on creating a simple Database for a company. This database contains several tables, one of the tables will record information about the training that had been completed by each employee. There are about ten sections of training that should be completed.
For instance, I have two tables called 'Development' and 'CSA_Lisence'. 'Development' is the table that record the information about training which containing ten checkboxes (which represent ten sections of training) and CSA_Lisence will be automatically requeried when all of the checkboxes on Development are fully checked.
Here's the step I've been worked on :
First, I made a function called 'CheckCompletion' to ensure whether all the checkboxes are checked :
Code:
Public Function CheckCompletion() As Boolean
Dim blnComplete As Boolean
Dim strCompletionSummary As String
strCompletionSummary = Basic_Inspection & Certifying_Staff & Safety_Management_System & Regulation_Part_145 & Part_M & EWIS & Fuel_Tank_Safety_Level_2 & Dangerous_Goods & Human_Factor & Basic_Supervisory_Training
[Code] ....
Second, I made a function called 'UpdateEmployee' to handles if all boxes are checked :
Code:
Public Function UpdateEmployee()
Dim emp_numb As Long
Dim emp_name As Long
Dim strsql As String
emp_numb = [Forms]![development].[employee_number].Value
[Code] ....
Then, I put this code on every checkbox's after update event (example only) :
Code:
Private Sub Basic_Inspection_AfterUpdate()
Call UpdateEmployee
End Sub
The problem is, nothing happened with the tables. However, when I managed to remove the 'If checkCompletion' condition, it worked and the 'CSA_Lisence' is requeried, but I will have ten multiple records with same contents (I just need one record per employee). I guess there's something wrong or missed in my code. Or i need to remove something?
I have a database that I completely redeveloped from scratch. On one form I have 4 OLE Objects so that people can attach links to files. In the old database, you just had to right-click and the insert object box came up...but that isn't working in the new one. I can't remember if it was something that I set or if there is something different about Access 2003 that doesn't allow that. I can't find anything on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Quick overview so you understand: I have two databases, one which contains form(s) that allow users to enter in legal type cases. It has a subform in which has four fields to insert OLE objects. This form draws its data from a linked table in a database called Attachments. Not all cases have 'attachments' & the attachments are associated to cases by case number.
Anyway, my delima is - I am trying to make a less 'clunky' way for the end-user to insert objects to the cases. Currently, they can click on a button that will open the Insert Object box. It isn't that complex for a developer to use, but the regular end user, it is quite complex. Also, once an object has been inserted, it renames it. (FYI: These objects are being imported & not linked) When inserting the object, you can decide you want it to be an icon shown in the OLE field & thus you can name it there. But the problem is, if you double-click to open the document it gives it a new name that is associated with the form name. It does not retain the original file name. Does anyone know of a way for it to retain the original file name??
That is my 'biggest' problem here since these files maybe updated & even emailed - Being that they are legal documents, it would be good that they retain the name. I have just begun to use OLE objects fields so I am very, very new to this.
I have OLE Object connected to a source Document. Each time I change the source document to a new one by using the sourcedoc property and action property. What I need is how to programatically print this document.

I have a access table with a OLE Object field that is storing a small signature .bmp image. I have a form that loads that image into a bound object frame. I made a command button that lets you choose a new .bmp image and it then loads the new image into the bound object frame. I am them doing update query on a save button that then save the new image into the table. The form works great. You can pick any .bmp and it shows up good in the bound object frame. When I click the save button and it runs the update query it run it 8 of 10 times fine. Problem is when it does run it the images gets inserted into the table and its destorted. Like its all static or have of the image turns black. Sometime when I run the same update query with out any code changes I get a access error that shuts down access or it inserts the image into the table and when you click on the cell to view it, it says the OLE data is not valid.
So Im not sure if the method Im using is ok or if there is a better way. I do need to store these images in the table tho. Below is the code im using.
code that loads new image picked into bound object frame
Code: Dim MyFolder As String Dim MyExt As String Dim MyPath As String Dim MyFile As String Dim strCriteria As String MyPath = vrtSelectedItem'vrtSelectedItem is the path to the image from the file picker Me.OLE_Sig.Enabled = True Me.OLE_Sig.Locked = False OLEPath = MyPath Me.OLE_Sig.OLETypeAllowed = acOLEEmbedded Me.OLE_Sig.SourceDoc = OLEPath Me.OLE_Sig.Action = acOLECreateEmbed Me.button_load_sig.SetFocus Me.OLE_Sig.Enabled = False Me.OLE_Sig.Locked = True
Then I run this for the save command
Code:DoCmd.SetWarnings FalseDoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_user_edit_update"DoCmd.SetWarnings True
This is the query to save the image.
Code:UPDATE tbl_Users SET tbl_Users.Signer_Sig = [forms]![frm_admin_users_edit]![OLE_Sig]WHERE (((tbl_Users.User_ID)=[forms]![frm_admin_users_edit]![field_userid_info]));
Any help would be great.... Been trying everything and no luck.
hey all, In my database (For a doctors practice) I have individual patient records with information about them on there. There are 5 boxes showing the current medication, if any, that they are on. The form is all linked up and so when I go through each record for each patient all the data changes as it should. I have a seperate table with all of the drug information on it and I want to be able to click on the box on the patient form (One of the boxes that has one of their medications in) and I want it to be able to automatically put the name of that drug in a search query and bring up the results in a report or form view. Is it possible to do this?
So far I have managed to create a control button on the pateint data form and when clicked, it asks for a a parameter value i.e. the name of the drug. I'd like to be able to miss out this step and for it to automatically enter the name of the drug from the text box into the serach criteria.
PLEASE HELP! I need this urgently!
Thank you for your time.

I am currently building a database for the company I work for that is fairly similar to the Northwind Database; however it is made from scratch so hopefully some of the common problems with that database won't find their way into mine.My problem is that when I go to my Orders form, I pick a customer from the main form, which creates a record on the Orders table. When I then go to the subform to choose a product/line item, I get the error in my title ("The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'OrdersT.") as soon as a product is chosen from the drop down list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe error is:
The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblIndividual.' '
Then it also gives me the same one on another table.
I think it has something to do with the link master/child fields. I've tried all kinds of relationships with the three tables and can't figure it out.
I've tried uploading the database here but it won't. It's on my Sky Drive.

Hello
I am using Access 2003(11.6355.6360) SPI
When I attempt to create a new DB - by performing Blank Database I immediately get a message 'Object Library not registered'.
If I 'OK' that box and try to create a table, I can do so - create Table in design view.
When I then try to Import external data - an excel file I get the message 'ActiveX component Can't create object'.
I have looked ob various sites for help and forum information regarding these errors but have found nothing conclusive, with specidfic regard to Access 2003.
The version has been loaded on my machine about 1 year as part pf Office Professional but this is the first time I have attempted to run Access itself.
Does any forum member have any ideas as to how this problem could be resolved.
Thank You

I have a form "WorksheetList" that has a list of records upon which when one selects a record a new form opens "Worksheet" with the data from "WorksheetList" everything seemed to be working fine then suddenly I get the error "Method 'item' of object 'forms' failed"... Here's my code:
Private Sub txtReconciliationID_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Worksheet", acNormal, , , , acWindowNormal
Forms![Worksheet]![txtLastUpdate] = Me.LastUpdate
Forms![Worksheet]![txtCalendarYear] = Me.CalendarYear
[Code] .....
I have an unbound form, with a subform datasheet (sfmStaffDS) - not linked to the parent form, which displays a list of all staff. There is another subform (sfmStaff), which displays data based on a field in the form which takes its value from the DA subform.To add a staff member I press the button and this clears the fields down as expected.
However, when I start entering data (in the First NAme field), I get the error as stated in the title. Interestingly, I can carry on and the data gets saved as 'normal'.I have used this technique before with success, except that the DS subform is linked to a value on the parent form.
In a form - How do I layer an object on top of a listbox?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm building a simple database for storing records about books.
I'm currently working on one of the data entry forms. Part of this form is supposed to enable the user to add details about the book and the series that it belongs to (if it does belong to one).
The relationship is One-to-Many: One series can have many books. I've made the series part a sub form.
When I enter some data to test that it works, I get an error message when I try to add a new series using the sub form. It says:
"You can't assign a value to this object.
*The object may be a control on a read-only form.
*The object may be on a form that is open in Design view.
*The value may be too large for this field."
As far as I know there isn't anything wrong, so I'm not certain why this error message comes up. I think it may have something to do with the primary key being the AutoNumber data type, but I just click 'OK' and ignore it, and it works fine.
The database works as far as I can see, I just want the error message to stop appearing.
I have a form Based on a tables called:-
TBLInvoice which contains to fields relative to the question
UseDefaultDescOfServices = Yes/No Type
DescriptionOfServices = Long Text Type with Rich Text Enabled
And second table called TBLCustomerPOs which contains a field
DefaultDescriptionOfServices = Long Text Type with Rich Text Enabled
What I am trying to do is if the UseDefaultDescOfServices = Yes then copy the data in DefaultDescriptionOfServices to DescriptionOfServices and make the field read only and turn off the boarder on the field. If it set to no then the user can enter his own data, turn on boarder and make the field editable.
However I am failing at the first hurdle, i.e. I cannot copy the data. Below is what I have tried to do but it doesn’t do anything.
If [TBLInvoice]![UseDefaultDescOfServices] = -1 Then
[TALInvoice]![DescriptionOfServices] = [TBLCustomerPOs]![DefaultDescriptionOfServices]
End If
I spent several hours but looks like I can't pop up a message in a form when the cursor pointer is on a specific object. Focus of cursor maybe somewhere else, but when I move the cursor with mouse and it reaches to a specific object, I want the object to display a message. I couldn't do it.
View 7 Replies View Relatedpossible to exclude certain boxes when a form is set to read only?My database essentially has 4 user levels (Developer, Admin, User and Guest), and whenever a Guest opens up a form, the form opens as Read Only and a message box displays telling you this. However on most of these forms, there are search boxes which allows you go straight to a specific record, but they don't modify any data, but because the form is read only, I can't type in these comboboxes. So is there anyway to exclude these boxes from being read only?

I have a form with several objects:
Projects -> which have Sources -> which have SourceTypes
The underlying DB has tables for Projects, Sources and SourceTypes:
Code:
Table Projects;
Fields:
ProjectID : AutoNumber;

So, I'm trying to get all the Sources for a given ProjectID, and I'm using the following SQL statement:
Code:
SELECT ID, ProjectID, Sequence, Name from Sources WHERE [Sources].ProjectID= MyProject.ProjectID;
Which actually gets coded (because MyProject.ProjectID is a variable) as:
"SELECT ID, ProjectID, Sequence, Name from Sources WHERE [Sources].ProjectID= " & MyProject.ProjectID & ";"
What actually happens is that Access jumps in and says (via a Message Box) "Give me a value for Source.ProjectID.
I've just done that in the SQL statement!

Check the components documentation for information on the properties and methods it makes available for automation operations.
This happens when I start entering data in the field "productname" of a subform.

This afternoon access crashed without any error, it just closed. Upon reopening the DB again, all my work of the past one and a half week was gone. Normally I always backup the data, but these past days I didn't due to christmas and still working a lot too. So I forgot.
I did some redesigning in the process this evening, deleting and adding some fields and code.
I can't get rid of this error. Can anyone help? Or point me in the right direction?
Also the DB is 3.5MB in size. While it is completely empty. And I can't imagine that some empty tables, queries, forms and a bit of code can be so much. But that's for a later time to worry about I guess, unless one of you says: this and that, maybe that works... Otherwise, I would really be very glad already if the error disappears....
