Forms :: Contacts Database - Error Entering New Record On A Subform
Jul 31, 2014
I am having a problem with my Contacts Database. I have attached it for your review.
My main form entitled "frmContact", is a form to enter a new contact. I have a Notes subform, and I want to be able to enter multiple notes for one person. I have a note for John Doe, and tried to enter a new note for him and got this error message:
"The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblcontact"."
Why is it doing this? I tihnk I have the relationships correct, and everything...
I used the Contacts Database Template to import a comma delimited txt file of contacts data. The template included a number of tables, queries, forms & reports which I did not require. I deleted them leaving only a Table entitled 'Addressbk'. I added an Entry Form using the standard access tools and this works fine with the table. However, on running the access database I get the following error message; 'The form named "Main" is mis-spelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist. My only form is labelled 'Entry Form', so it would appear that one of the forms I deleted must have been named 'Main'. If one ignores the error message the database & entry form function perfectly.

I have a main menu form that opens up when opening Access.What I'm thinking is have some vba in the OnLoad Event of the main menu that Grabs the User and Time and track this to a table.When the database closes(Is there an OnDatabaseClose Event?), I'd like to track the User and time as well.
I built a form—frmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEvent, which contains various fields from tblEvent. The primary key field is called EventID.
I also build a subform—sfmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEventImages, which contains various fields from tblItem. One of those fields is ItemEventLink, which links records from tblItem to the EventID field in tblEvent. There is also an image box in this subform: filling in the field ImageFile with an image name (example: Logo.jpg) causes that image to display in the image box.
I’ve inserted the subform into the form using the Subform Wizard. Now I’m getting an error message that says "2450: Microsoft Access cannot find the reference form ‘sfmDataEntry’." Why this is popping up. The Link Master Fields and Link Child Fields sections of the property sheet are filled in correctly. Moreover, the subform records are still appearing, but the images linked to each record aren’t loading.
I have a main form with several subforms in tabs. From one of the subforms I list linked records to the main form (Clients) within that subform (Bank account details). I list the records and have a button to add new records.
Where the Client has one or more records in the subform the add button works perfectly.
When the subform has no records the add new records button produces the following error "Run-time error '2498' An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
The add button has
Private Sub Command52_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "AddClientBankDetailsFrm", acNormal, , , , acFormAdd, OpenArgs:=Me!ClientId End Sub
the "AddClientBankDetailsFrm" popup form has
Private Sub Form_Load() If IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) = False Then MsgBox "Form was opened with ClientID = " & Me.OpenArgs Me!ClientId = Me.OpenArgs Else MsgBox "No ClientID was passed." End If End Sub
ClientId is the primary key of the main form and the secondary key in the new record.
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 am pretty new to access and trying to create a form to enter data into a table. I keep getting a syntax error. Below is the part of code where I keep getting the syntax.
I'm getting a Run-time error 2295: Unknown Message Recepients.
I've got a DB of about 2000 clients. In testing I did a test DB with 50 random clients. Using any search criteria, it would grab those clients and open a new email with their email addresses no problem. However when I do this same thing with my complete DB of 2000 clients, I get this run time error. I'm pretty confused here, and anxious. It looks like the program is working, I just need it to run with all my clients. This is the last thing I must conquer to be finished with this project.
I created this database long time ago, but now my boss wants to import the contacts list from outlook into the database. Now, these lists will differ per user. Right now there are 6 users, who are using the database and they all will have different contacts lists. How can I import it in a manner, when they login the outlook will will search for their contacts only and let them make changes.
I want to create a form and this form will already be filled with the contact info from the outlook, and half of the form is for the user's comments so they can circulate the information through a report to different people.
I hope I was able to send my msg across. I am pretty bad at explaining stuff.
Hello All, At work we have a large and messy Contacts list so I decided to set one up using a database. At present I have 3 tables:- Companies (custID,companyname,address,etc) People (nameID,firstname,middlename,lastname,custID) Phones (phoneID,phonetype,areacode,number,?????)
My problem is this, Some of the phone nos belong to the individuals and some belong to the company. If a person is replaced at a company I need to reasign the company phone nos to the new person whilst retaining the individuals and their personal phone nos. If a company is deleted I need to delete only the company phone nos. and if a person moves within the company I want the company nos to reasign to the new replacement but keep the personal nos of the individual. Now I see its going to be more complex than I thought.
Can anyone help me with the table layout and links. (nb this is only a simple database relating a person to a company without using departments etc.) Its main use is to provide phone nos names and addresses quickly. Many Thanks Peter
I'm creating a database full of contacts. I have a contacts table with detailed info on each contact and I also have a company table with details on each company - all companies attached to a contact are in the company table plus a few others. I'd like to be able to pull up a company profile and see all the contacts we have associated with that company displayed in a list.
I have two unbound unlinked subforms residing on a 3rd unbound main form. When I enter the current record on Subform1 I would like the matching record(s) on Subform2 to be highlighted or otherwise formatted. I can get this to work for only the first record on subform2 due to the way I have my code setup on Subform1:
Code: Private Sub Accounting_Unit_Enter() 'find where AUs match. only works for first Subform2 record If Me.[Accounting Unit] = Forms!MainForm.[Subform2]!AccountingUnit Then msgbox "Match" End If End Sub
My thought was that I needed to reference the Recordset of Subform2 and search for all AccountingUnits that match the current AccountingUnit of Subform1,
I have limited programming skills but a basic understanding of databases.I want to create a database in Access that links to contacts in an Outlook pst file, and in the Access database I want to create a series of date dependant tasks or processes that I can apply to the relevant contact.The object being to to save that collection of tasks to apply to different contacts within Access.
i have a form which has a sub-form on it. each one is bound to a different table. the main form has a one to many relationship with the subform, but every time i try to add a new record to the subform i get an error say that you cant insert a duplicate foreign key.
not sure how to solve that as sql enterprise manager and access do seem to have the option to allow duplicates on the foreign key coloum.
I have a small bug here which I can't seem to find a way round.
I have a subform setup to show Engineers assigned to a call. In the subform header I have a Command to add new Engineers. When this is pressed the form is changed to a Data Entry form to allow additions. This all works perfectly where there is an existing engineer on the Database.
The problem is with calls where there is no current engineer assigned.
With these calls I get an error popup saying "No Current Record" before the Data Entry screen comes up. Once the Data Entry screen comes up then an ID is assigned correctly and you can input fine so I am really just looking to see if there is a way to suppress the No Current Record popup.
I have an unbound form: frm_ReceiptSearch with some fields that, when something is input, will search a datasheet viewed form on a subform on the main form (subform name is sf_frm_Receipts). Currently, on the txt_CheckNo field's after update event, I have the following code:
Private Sub txt_CheckNo_AfterUpdate() Dim SrchVar As String SrchVar = Me.txt_CheckNo Me!sf_frm_Receipts!REFNO.SetFocus DoCmd.FindRecord SrchVar, acEntire, , acSearchAll, , acCurrent, True End Sub
I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.
I am modifying the Students template for a student & alumni administration database for our non-profit Food Service Training Academy.
After making some changes recently, whenever I select Design View on a specific form (Student Details), a window pops up stating "The command or action 'Requery' isn't available now. The window further states that:
You may be in a read-only database or an unconverted database from an earlier version of the databaseThe type of object the action applies to isn't currently selected or isn't in the active view.And finally "Use only those commands and macro actions that are currently available for this database."
After exiting this window, a Macro Single Step window opens with the following info:
This form is usually opened via an "Open" button in a list of students form called Student List. It has 5 tabs on it, the last I created & copied 2 queries to it. The form opens in Form view OK and I can switch to Layout view OK. Once in Design view I seem to be able to do go back and forth OK, although often going back into Design view sometimes only the name of the sub-form is displayed and the whole header, detail, grid, and controls etc. do not show.
Further, you can open the Student Details form directly, but now it opens as a datasheet instead of a form. Otherwise, the normal use of the forms, from a user perspective, does not seem to be affected.
This may have begun after I opened the database in Access 2007. I have done all the development in Access 2010.
I have two sub forms on a main form.Subform 1 displays information which comes from a query, filtered using two combo boxes on the same form.The active record on the data sheet has two field values output to hidden text boxes on the form.
These text boxes then provide the values used for the query displayed on the 2nd sub form.When I highlight a new record in subform 1, the text box values change, but the values in sub form 2 do no.Which would be the best method to use to get this to requery?
In a simple Access 2003 database that has two table. A contacts table and a Report table.
I would like to be able to prevent the deletion of any contact that is still being used in the Reports table. The problem is that they are in a backend of a linked database. So the enforce referential integrity doesn't work. Plus I don't think I would like it anyway as it seems kind of dangerous to the reports table.
Is this possible to do what I need through the use of form coding?
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.
I have a form that have a calculated field which generate a series of numbers. Correct and usuable numbers. Now, all I want to do this is to total (Sum)that numbers up at the Form Footer.. I have a Text Box control on the form footer for this. And formula on the Text box control is this.. =Sum ([Dhrs]*[Davg]). I got error everywhere on my form when I open the form..I have been trying using NZ Sum etc..
how to deal with errors specifically with error "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find a record in table".Database which I'm creating have table Products, which contains information about products. Most important information in this table is if product is VATable or not. I decided to define product names in invoice table that database can recognize products and calculate VAT in invoices if product is VATable. Problem starts if you have new product. When I add new product in invoice it counts VAT but when i go to next record I receive message mentioned above. It doesn't allows me to go to next record or save record.
I was wondering is it possible to make it that access allows to fill invoice, informs about new products only when i have finished adding all products in invoice and than gives opportunity to add them to product list?
