Forms :: Error / You Can't Assign A Value To This Object
Dec 2, 2014
I'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 searched the forums and I don't see this problem. I have a split database. When I test it it works fine. It resides on a network drives and permissions have been checked. When users try it they get an error message that says "you can't assign a value to this object". This occurs after they have selected a project and the user form opens. The user form appears blank.
I have gone to other offices and if I am signed on to their machines it works but if they are the message comes up. I'm at a complete loss and need some advice. It's probably as plain as the nose on my face but I've been struggling for days.
By the way - I used to be Mrs.Meeker...I haven't been around for a long time.

Hi all,
I have a form that runs from a query which combines data from 2 tables. I am trying to set up a filter on the form using a number of combo boxes and text boxes and a command button to fire it but I keep getting the above error (on the .Filter = strFilter line) and I can't see what the problem is with my code.
Private Sub cmdApplyFilter_Click()
Dim strSSType As String
Dim strArea As String
Dim strDepot As String
Dim strStatus As String
Dim strRisk As String
Dim strZone As String
Dim strContractor As String
Dim strFilter As String
If IsNull(Me.cboSSType.Value) Then
strSSType = "'Like '*'"
Else
strSSType = "='" & Me.cboSSType.Value & "'"
End If
If IsNull(Me.cboArea.Value) Then
strArea = "'Like '*'"
Else
strArea = "='" & Me.cboArea.Value & "'"
End If
If IsNull(Me.cboDepot.Value) Then
strDepot = "'Like '*'"
Else
strDepot = "='" & Me.cboDepot.Value & "'"
End If
If IsNull(Me.cboStatus.Value) Then
strStatus = "'Like '*'"
Else
strStatus = "='" & Me.cboStatus.Value & "'"
End If
If IsNull(Me.cboRisk.Value) Then
strRisk = "'Like '*'"
Else
strRisk = "='" & Me.cboRisk.Value & "'"
End If
If IsNull(Me.cboZone.Value) Then
strZone = "'Like '*'"
Else
strZone = "='" & Me.cboZone.Value & "'"
End If
If IsNull(Me.cboContractor.Value) Then
strContractor = "'Like '*'"
Else
strContractor = "='" & Me.cboContractor.Value & "'"
End If
strFilter = "[subSubstationType] " & strSSType & "AND [subArea] " & strArea & "AND [subDepot] " & strDepot & "AND [subStatus] " & strStatus & "AND [subRiskLevel] " & strRisk & "AND [subZone] " & strZone & "AND [subContractor] " & strContractor
With Forms![frmSubInfo]
.Filter = strFilter
.FilterOn = True
End With
End Sub
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Hi Gang,
I'm new to this forum so please bare with me.
I have spent the last two days trying to resolve, or work out why on earth I am getting this error message.
I am at the point of pulling my hair out - its SO frustrating so *any* suggestion would be great.
I have created a small database for plant (as in flowers) details. To cut a long story short, its a simple db fronted by a
form that allows me to display and add records together with an associated image (stored outside the db).
I was trying to write some code that would look at the control that displays the image and, if there is no image associated
with a particular record, it would display an "add new image" button. If there is an associated image, the buttons visable property is set to false.
I had ammended a section of code for the forms "on current" event and saved the changes. I then changed to form view, tried to enter a new record and access throws up the error message. It does not matter which field I try to add data in, the same error still happens. I have checked, and re-checked all my code and property settings for every control and field on the form and I can not track down what is causing this error.
I noticed from searching this forum that someone else had this error but the resolution does not appear to have been posted so can anyone help in any way at all.
My grateful thanks,
Kenny

Greetings, all.
Run into a snag with a payroll db, appreciate any help you can give me.
Main Form, with ordinary payroll/personnel info--clock no, first and last names, S.S.no., etc.
Subform for entering regular hours worked, OT hours worked, etc per Period Ending, keyed to main form by SS no. Pretty basic stuff.
Problem is, when we try to enter the first data in the subform, we get this error message :
"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."
We get the message in the first field we go to, no matter which field we go to first.
None of the "may be" conditions apply.
When we hit "OK" the message goes away and we can enter our data, the records are created corrected. But as soon as we move to the next record, we get the same error.
Any idea why we're getting this error message?
Thanks for looking,
BeckieO

Not sure whats going on here, nothing on the table that stops this from working. I just get Run-time error "2448 You can't assign a value to this object" When the code runs.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
MySQL = " Select max(ID) from TblUserQry"
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(MySQL)
Myid = rst.Fields(0) + Int(Rnd(1) * 10)
Me.txtMyID.Value = Myid
End Sub

I am relatively new to Access and VB. I am trying to create a log-in system that assigns a security clearance to each user and then restricts access to certain forms and reports based on security clearance. Right now, I have set up the log-in system - that seems to work fine. But when I try to lock the form based on security clearance, I get the 2450 - Form Not Found - error.
The code I am using on the form is as follows:
Private Sub Form_Open (Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 1 Then
MsgBox "You do not have access to this form", vbOkOnly
DoCmd.Close acForm, "formname"
EndIf
End Sub

The following code is in the Form Current. As you can see if BranchCode = 2 I want to do a DLookup on the SystemPreferences table that holds a number Branch fields that hold document archive numbers for that branch. I want to move the number in the CroArchiveNo field into the field ArchiveNumber. I then run an Update Query on the system preferences table to add one to the relative branch archive number.
If Me.[BranchCode] = 2 Then
Me.[ArchiveNumber] = DLookup("[CroArchiveNo]", "SystemPreferences", "[SysPrefId] = 1")
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "UpdateCroArchiveNo"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End If
My problem is that I get an error
Run Time error 2448
You can't assign a value to this object

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.

The 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.

I was wondering if anyone can help with this code. I am sure it is something simple. It works fine until the last line the (x1down) line. I am not sure what I am missing there. I got that code by recording a macro in excel. It simulates the shift/end/down keystroke which will select all fields that are in the same condition (blank or containing data) as the cell you start at.
The error I get is runtime error '424' - object required
Anyway...hope you can help. Thanks.

I am Embedding OLE objects (PDF files) into a table and am having errors that state
"A problem occoured while Microsoft Office Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control."
From what I can see there is not a problem with The OLE server, so the only thing I can think of is that I have hit my limit of OLE objects. I have only got 81 records but will need more like 400 - 1000.
can anyone help?

Need a second opinion on this one, if someone has the time.
The boss is asking me about this:
Small db to track keys issued to individuals.
2 tables:
#1. ID, (with auto numbering for ID,) and basic name, SS #, etc.
#2. ID and Key number, Date Issued, etc, without auto numbering.
1 to many relationship (#1 to #2).
Cascadeing Update and Delete, and referencial integrity.
He has a form and subform based on a query, wants to do basic info entry on main form (for table #1), then tab to subform to enter specific info for (for table #2).
Problem is, when he tabs to the subform, he gets "Automation Object "Keys Issued" Not Available" error message.
I've found that in his querry, he is pulling the ID from both tables.
I can stop the error by eliminating the the ID from Table #1, using only the one from Table #2.
Is this just a fluke, or do you think I may have hit on the root cause? Any suggestions for problems to watch out for?
Thanks in advance,
BeckieO

I have a db that is in a multi-user environment. I have a problem that keeps occurring. The problem is that I designed a report that is programatically sent via an email from a button on a form. The problem is a copy object error (run-time error 2501)that is occurring. The object wasn't canceled, ie the email wasn't cancel (which produces the same run-time error). This error just occurs. Doesn't occur all the time. The same report will be able to be sent (emailed) by the inspector either by the end of the day or by the next morning. So the problem doesn't appear to with the code (even though it still may turn out to be), since it works. The report has a unique name which is done by the coping the object and then deleting the object.
This problem is completly frustrating me and my users as it appears that it just "hangs up" when it so desires.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.T

Hello,
I am relatively new to Access and I am trying to update someone else's work so here goes. I have to revise a form to incorporate the new fiscal year. I have gotten variables named and feel comfortable that is correct. However, when I click on the "Run Query" button, I am getting the error "Object Required". I know this probably an easy fix but I can't seem to find it. I have attached the code for the form in a Word document. If anyone else needs additional information, please let me know.
Thanks

I had this error occasionally popup whilst testing my code.
I thought it was strange, because it was in a Microsoft message box, with a Microsoft message, not one of my own messages from my own error routines. This made it very difficult to isolate, I didn't have a clue what was causing it.
However I decided to track it down and to cut a long story short this is what I found:
Err_EditDetail_Click:
MsgBox "Error!"
MsgBox " Error From >>> EditDetail_Click() Error Number: " & Error.Number & " Error Description: " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_EditDetail_Click
End Sub ' EditDetail_Click()
Notice "& Error.Number" I don't know how this got changed from "& Err.Number" to "& Error.Number" but that was what was causing the Run-time error '424': Object required.
