I have a form with 47 subForms, and Form.Controls.count is 351. The sub forms were originally text boxes, which got changed to ListBoxes because of customer requests, then to subforms because of conditional formatting needs that the customer wanted. Now, when it is open, other forms give sporadic "System Resources Exceeded" errors. I'm pretty sure it is this form that is causing the errors, as it is always open when they occur. (Only consistent factor.) Task Manger - Processes shows that closing this form releases 723 "User Objects", and almost 400 GDI objects.
Is it time to switch to a different development tool? Visual Basic? C++. Is it possible to rewrite the single form as a standalone and keep using the rest of the Access App? (Almost 60,000 loc in 200 objects.)
I have a complex form (in that it contains a lot of VB code and events) to display the information of various articles in my database. I would like to add some browsing options to the form (like a list of all articles on the left, and some different back/forward options), but I also need to preserve the form in its current state. Rather than make a new copy of the form (and have to maintain TWO near-identical copies of the same form), I attempted to make a new form, with just the browsing list, and insert the old article information form as a subform on the left. However, it seems that any of the code from the original form which refers to Forms!Article Information!Article_ID ("Article Information" is the name of the original form) are not able to load the correct information, as I am prompted to supply it myself. Needless to say, I don't want the user to be prompted for the article number each time they open the form :).
I'm wondering how I would go about opening the old form as a subform in such a way that I am not prompted each time. Or alternativley, if there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do, how should I do it?
I am looking to ensure the user enters a complex password, in the add user form. Therefore, the password should be >8 characters, 2 numbers, 1 Ucase min, 1 Lcase min and some form of punctuation. I found this code:
unction ValidatePassword(ByVal pwd As String, Optional ByVal minLength As Integer = 8, Optional ByVal numUpper As Integer = 2, Optional ByVal numLower As Integer = 2, Optional ByVal numNumbers As Integer = 2, Optional ByVal numSpecial As Integer = 2) As Boolean
[Code] ....
but obviously this doesn't work in access. How can i either change it to work for microsoft access, or how would i go about developing it. What would the code be?
I am trying to execute the SQL below (tested in other programs, works fine) but access is giving me the "join expression not supported" error. How can this query be used in MS Access? I have tried breaking some of the joins clauses into separate queries, but I can't get it to work and it is making things much more complicated. Also note that moving the join conditions to the where clause could impact performance (this is a very large DB) Could I execute this via code somehow? Thanks.

They are receiving e-mail with some data that they want to transfer to access database to track. The one think they can do is copy past, copy paste. That is a lot of data to copy and paste. The date looks like this format
Field1 Text1
Field2 Text2 (text2 can be more than 255 char)
Field3 Text3 (text3 can be more than 255 char)
Field4 Text4
Field1 Text1
Field2 Text2 (text2 can be more than 255 char)
Field3 Text3 (text3 can be more than 255 char)
Field4 Text4
and so on.. It can be 50 records
I am thinking they can copy this to the text file. Then the code form Access grabs the text file and imports to access table with format below.
I have a main form with two subforms. One of the subforms in turn has three subforms.
It is a music database. The main form has title information, one subform has the group/artist. The other subform has song information (side, track, title running time) and subforms for performer, composer and conductor.
I am at a loss as to how to efficently navigate back and forth. All of the subforms (except song titles) are datasheet view using combo boxes. For lack of a better way there is a "Done" button after each row. Click the Done button moves the user to the next form.
I have custom Navigation buttons for the main form. The form works fine, it is just a pain to navigate.
I have other issues with it but this is enough for now. I started writing the database in Access 2000 and it is now being used with Access 2003. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Hello! I am trying to build a search form, based on a table.
Here's the table layout:
Employee Competencies --------------- EE Name Competency Proficiency Years of Use Recency of Use
I need to be able to select multiple competencies, and/or associated levels (the rest of the fields). At first, I did a filter by form, but the problem with this is that I can only search "OR's" and I need to be able to search "AND's" as well.
Here's what I want: Basically, a user would select six competencies and associated levels, and the form would open to a report listing each of the matched employees' competency sheets.
I've tried query by form, as explained on the Microsoft Knowledge Base and it doesn't work. I'm going to try to upload a stripped down version to make things clearer. I'm desperate and running out of time. Thank you for any help!
Okay, my file's too big to upload, so hopefully, I've described this well enough. Thanks!
I've got a query pulling data from a view I created that gives all the data I need. The query gets it's criteria from a form with 10 combo boxes, a radio box with 3 options and 2 date fields for the timeframe to run the report in.
The issue: over half the columns of data that the radio buttons can limit results by have null values but only two of the columns are excluding records where the values in them are null. As any combination of the combo boxes are null I'm using the following format for my criteria per column IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption]),[Installer_from_Web],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption]) That is an example of a column that works, the following is a column that is excluding null values no matter what I do IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption]),[ProductType],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption]) I am not seeing the error and could use some thoughts.
I have created a FE/BE database which is operating on a network. There is one FE for each person (approx 150) all accessing 1 BE. There are at most, maybe 10 people using it at once. The database has been working well for about 2 months.
My problem is not with data corruption (touch-wood!), but with a complex form.
The Form is split into a Header/Footer, with a Detail section containing a subform. The main form filters records that appear on the subform. The subform is continous, with several conditional formatting cells per record.
Most of the time it works fine, but occasionally, the main form opens, but the subform fails to load/open. All I see is a white page with the main form header displaying correctly along the top 1/3rd of the screen. No error message is displayed. If I print the page using a Report (The subform and Report use the same query) the page prints perfectly with all records showing.
I have seen this problem on several different workstations, only to try again later to see it working (having closed the db, logging off then back on again)
I am at a loss with this one. Is it a problem with Access or the network? I am unable to find anything similar to this problem on the forum. Can anyone shed any light on it?
I have an access form with tab control pages each with embedded forms.In one page I have a list of records as a datasheet form with the record identifier field configured as a hyperlink. When I click on this it passes its value to a form field in the form in the following tab page (works without the hyperlink but its a useful way of highlighting which field to click) which is a display/edit form of the details of the individual record. The Subroutine which does this sets the focus on this field it is passing the value to on the other form and the 'On Got Focus' event in that triggers the query that fills the editor form.
When I click back on the following tab to select another record to view/edit, the identifier value of the other record is passed to the other form but the data displayed in the rest form doesn't change. I understand this is because the field with the 'On Got Focus' never lost focus and so the query function was not called. To correct this I tried adding the same function call to the 'On Change' event however this does not work (the field is a text box set to 'locked' if that is relevant).I can get the form to do a new query properly if I click on a different field in the form before going back to the list tab or (as this is removing the focus allowing the On Got Focus to work again) if I click on a button to select a different record (which just takes me back to the list form).
Is there any way I can get this to work without having to manually remove the focus from the problem field? I have tried setting its On Got Focus event to move the focus to another field after the query function call however this prevents the Setfocus line in the code in the previous form from working. Here is a snippet of my code below.This code is for the list form and passes a value to the editing form:
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs) DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3" End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
I have a Lost/Found property database which we use to keep record of the lost/found property and it is working fine.
As per our organization's policy, we keep the item(s) for up to three months in which if it gets restored to the owner then fair enough otherwise after three months the item(s) can be claimed by the "Finder". But for this very purpose we issue the Finder with a "Claim Receipt" which he/she should bring in when claiming for the item(s) after three months period. Therefore, It's just the right time to upgrade the database to a more professional level.
The database has one table and two forms.
One form (LostFoundForm) is visible to the user in which they enter data, this form has two sections; Item(s) & Finder's details and the second section is about Restoring details.
However the second form (ClaimReceiptForm) is hidden to the users (for manual data entry) and has only one section which is exactly the same as the first form's first section, i.e., Item(s) & Finder's details. This second form takes the data automatically from the first form because the table behind them is same and fields are same (please see attachment). Up to here it's all working fine.
I would like to introduce a Checkbox or a CommandButton in the LostFoundForm which when we click should pull up a msgbox asking "Do you want to print the receipt for this item(s)?" with a Yes/No option. On clicking "No" it should, obviously, settle down but on clicking "Yes" it should print the "corresponding record" from the ClaimReceiptForm.
How to make application such that only a form is opened (not as a tab in access) just like pop up feature of a form. i have only one form in my application...
All, using 2010. I have a database that is split into FE and BE. The FE is on users desktop. The supervisor wants to give limit access to the database to one other user on the network without giving them access to the entire db. There is not an user table in the database or a login form at the moment. So what can I do to provide limited access to only one form?
I am trying to create a search box in Access 2010 inside a form. I have managed to create a search using the 'Surname', but what I am unable to do is to factored in multiple records with the same surname.
Currently, the search field sits within the Form Header bar. I enter the surname or part of surname and click the command button which searches. Using MoveFirst and FindFirst, it jumps the form for the first record that matches (or partially matches).
However, there will be occasions where there will be more than one record that matches. What I want to do is to be able to jump to the first record, but if thats not the one I am looking, if you click search button again, it jumps to the next matching records etc... until I hit the I want?
I have tried the MoveNext, Previous, Last commands, but they dont work. Any quick fire coding out there?
Is it possible to set a property to allow the user to click and drag an open form out of the Microsoft Access 2010 parent window? Specifically to a second monitor.
We recently updated to 64 bit Office 2010, however there is a form created by an intern who has since moved on, anyways the form was created in 32 bit. SO hence we cannot open it. We get any error message that it was created in 32 bit and cannot be open in 64 bit Office. I have tried to resaved the form on a different pc with 64 bit office. But it will not allow me to save, possibly because the form is locked down from changes. The file extension is .accde.
access 2013. I am working on a project which I should design a form as program.
in that form I want to make a field with expression builder to retrieve some data which satisfy a condition (that condition is based on some input form who work with the program) I want to access records one by one and check if they satisfy the condition but i do not known how can I do this?
I am trying to make a simple inventory control system. This system will only record input of products and output of products. Explanation: This is a catering service company. I buy tomatoes, rice, oinions, Oils, meat, ect. When we buy this products they usaly come in different packages. The rice can come in 100 pound bag, 50 pound bag or just by the pound. The onions can be bought by the bucket, half bucket, dozen, half dozen ect. The oil can be bought by 100 gallon barril, half barril, Gallon, half gallon, pint ect. The meat by the pound.
I am able to make the a simple invoice and PO application, the only problem is that I want to be able to select what type of packaging the product has and the invoice or PO subforms.
I started with a simple product table, I than created a packaging table and a package detail table. This gave me the chance to create a subform on the product form where I can choose what type of packaging this product uses and also tell it how many units the package has.
So far so good. Now I created a Chef table "this is my Chef to whom I give the product to for cooking" I than created an authorization slip table "this is like an invoice table" and ofcourse a authorization detail table "this is where I pick the products that I give the cook" once I print this out the chef will be able to go to the warehouse and retreive the product.
What I want to do in the detail subform is to be able to pick the product and the type of packaging that I am giving them from a dropdown box then it will automaticaly show only the packaging I assinged to that product and give me the units . This way if I pick the type of packaginh name 100 pound it will put 100 units in the quantity field automaticaly.
So basicaly is an invoice form with its detail but on the detail I am able to pick the product and the packaging that I am giving the chef.
Can you guys guide me on the right direction on how to do thsi?
Hi, I was wondering if someone can give me a possible solution to my join below:
select tableA.name From tableA, tableB where tableA.id IN (Select id from table c where .......) <--I would like tableB.prodId to make a join with the tableA.id's that are in this select sub query
Hello , I had incountered with a huge problem in my project and I need your help guys. I have a huge table contains alot of data about many people- I wanted the data will be checked and sent to a query. Here is an example for a little project beacuse I couldn't have the big one. (This example works fine) My big project is pretty the same but after I try to get the query out I get an error that the query is too complex....(It's really too big when you have 20texts to be checked with 9000 fields) If you check the query fields you may see how the OR is getting separted and because every text has OR statement everything is hanged by everything. Someone told me that I can't use query options and mannge it and I should use VB SELECT option - but I can't make it work too. So I can't show you the real example at all beacsue I can't have it to my computer and It will take alot of time to have 9000 different cells ; SO if someone knows what I am talking about and ever encoutered it , I would be really thankful ! (Also - You may see some problems with the OR ("") but I mannged it to work with the BIG project so it doesn't matter) I don't want you to focus the conditions but just the problem itself ...." the query is too complex"...
