My form which is based on a table carrying same name doesn't append the full length of the text to one of the fields.
I don't know where the mistake is occurring or indeed I don't know if the error is in the table or in the form.
The form is showing full length of the text but when I look it in the table, it has just one or two bits of the full length.
I was having trouble adding my records to my subform. I think it was going into my main form, which is unbound. When I removed the navigation bars from my main form and added them back to my subform, I lost my records that i had. They are still in my table, but not showing in my subform. How do I get them in there?

View 12 Replies View RelatedSee my 2 attachments. I put the Pop-Up property on the form. that worked but still not what I want.
On the HATT attachment do you see how it opens in the middle of the screen? And the other opens at the top right, (and has that tab at the top right that says frmMain)?
how do i made the airwatch open in the middle? like the other screenshot?
I have a database used to track my personal assignments, created about six years ago using Access 2003 on Windows XP. Recently upgraded to Access 2010 on Windows 7. At some point thereafter, I started having the following issue:
When a new record is created, that record gets added to the table, but doesn't show-up in any query, form, or report until after another new record has been added. The most recently added record cannot be located to view or update, except in the table, until after another new record has been added to the table. Queries, forms, & reports now always lag behind by one record.
None of the queries, forms, or reports tested contain filters. I have several multi-user databases that I also support and none of those users have reported having this problem. This is only happening on my personal database.
I've re-created this database once or twice in the past to resolve other issues, but would like to avoid that route this time around, if possible.
I have a subform 2SiteList (Datasheet View) with the field SiteName... i also have another form SiteDetails.
if possible i would like to be able to double click on a SiteName on the subform and have the SiteDetails form to open to show the full details.
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to force a field value to be unique and of a set length, but with exceptions?
Let me explain... I have a text field in my table called "employee_number" and this value is always one of the following:
NULL
an 8-digit number
the word "External"
What I want to do is to force that field to either be NULL, the word "External", or a unique 8-digit number.
Is this possible? Obviously I can't set the source field in SQL to accept unique values only but I wondered if there was any way around it at form level?
I have a continuous form that displays data from a table. What I am trying to accomplish is to change the format of the field if the string length is equal to 11, to "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@". Otherwise if it is greater or less than 11 then no format.
I have tried it using code:
If Len(Me.FormFieldName)=11 Then
Me.FormFieldName.Format = "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@"
End If
Is it even possible and if so is my syntax correct or am I way off base?
In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is

I have a monthly system data report I wish to manipulate in Access.
I have created a table to match the 3 fields in the data report; the date, widget ID and number of widgets made.
Widgets are made every day (including weekends and bank holidays) but there will only be a data entry on days where the number of widgets made changes from the previous day ie if Widget ID 33 was made 5 times on 05 Oct, 06 Oct, 07 Oct but on 8 Oct there were 7 made, the data would look like…
Date.................Widget ID..................Number Made
05 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
08 Oct ..................33.............................. .7
I would like to write a query that shows the data for every day, duplicating the data for the previous day in the instance the same number is made. The output should look like..
Date.................Widget ID..................Number Made
05 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
06 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
07 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
08 Oct ..................33.............................. .7
The data is monthly. There are so many different widgets on the report that it’s pretty much guaranteed there will be at least one entry on the first date and the last date in order for a query to find the full date range – as opposed to a user having to manually enter the date range.
Using the example above where the first entry is on 05 Oct it should not be assumed that 01-04 Oct was zero, the query should then look for last entry in the previous month’s data stored in the database (I realise the first time I do this some form of manual adjustment would have to be made as no previous data would exist).
Created a button through button wizard that is supposed to open a form to add a new record, but all of the fields don't clear out. Only some fields clear and other fields actually populate data from another record.
Snip1 shows my form with a record selected. When I click the 'New Waste' button, you can see that the record ID goes to '(New)', but the fields actually populate data from another record.
This even happens if I set 'Data Entry' to yes for the form.
here's the code behind my button:
Code:
Private Sub btnNewWaste_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
I even commented out my code for duplicating my record just in case but that didn't make a different.
Code:
Private Sub btnDuplicateRecord_Click()
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Form.Controls
If ctrl.Tag = "DefaultMe" Then
ctrl.DefaultValue = """" & ctrl & """"
End If
[Code]....
edit: this problem persists in a backup database that only contains one test record. The button pre-populates data that doesn't exist in the back-up database.
Im not sure if this is the right place to put this but I was wondering if you could help me:
Say I have database with forms that display records or people ie name, address, postcode, etc. What I want to do is display a list of Names then from that list I can double, single click and open the record details.
Id call my self and amatuer at access and am probably guessing this is done via vscript or something else, but any help will do.
Thanks

Hi.
I have a subform (based on table "Source") that allows the user to create a new record in another table "Events" (it copies some entries to facilitate entering new data). The data should then be dispayed in another subform. However, the newly created redord is does not show in the subform although I use Me.Refresh. When I close the form and then open it again it works - but there has to be an easier way.
How can I reload the data from the table. I have looked but am unable to find the right method.
The code:
'Create New Record in Table Events
Call AddEvent(EventDate, Country)
'This function opens the table and adds a record
'Open Subform
DoCmd.GoToControl "subfrm_events"
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
Me.Refresh
Help would be much appreciated!
In my website I've created a admin login with some ASP pages to edit and update stories.
I use an acces database and installed HTMLarea for WYSIWYG editing.
When I update text, all the HTML tags show als plain text in my website.
For example: I make a headline bold in my wysiwig editor and I update my text, it just shows: <B> here's a new story </B>
If I look in my database I have a field 'text' wich is a memofield and I can see the html tags have been stored into my database. <B>here's a new story</B>
It looks like it doesnt recognize the html tags as HTML, but just as plain text...
Can I use HTML-tags in an acces database and how do I get them to show up right in my website?
I have some tab controls, which for some reason show up white.
I have set their back style to transparent but it doesn't seem to show the grey Windows colour of the background form.

AT the moment I'm having to put grey rectangles in various places to cover this up, which is obviously not ideal.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an application that has two tables, linked on a common key. The main data entry form is for invoices, and has a sub-form for parts used. A similar report/sub-report is used for reporting. Everything is fine for records that are entered via the form. My problem is that when I import data from other sources ( consolidation process ) the calculations are not performed. So when those records are displayed no totals appear until I click on a control that drives the calculations. I don't want to store totals in the database but I need to have them reflected on the viewed form without operator intervention. Otherwise I'm open to incorrect decisions when the operator doesn't notice that an invoice doesn't reflect the cost of parts used.I'm looking for a "one-time" process that I can invoke after loading new data that would "touch" each record (ideally each "new" record but there's no impact to re-calculating existing ones) and drive the calculations so that the viewed form is correct.It doesn't need to be "easy" or automated since the end users won't do it, only myself as part of the data consolidation.Any ideas?Thanks
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I open one of my tables or queries and look at the customer Id, the displayed info is a single digit. On my customers table my primary key is the customer Id with auto number with the format like this: "ID"000. This is great however, when you look up the customer id in other tables it only displayes the single digit. I want it to show up like ID001 or ID002. In the customers tables it looks just like that, but if you click in that cell/field it takes away the ID and just shows the 001 or 002. I changed the format in my other tables under customer id to "ID000" but that didn't seem to make a difference. I would like to be able to do a search lets say by customer ID in one of my products table and when I type ID005 or ID012 it takes me to those records. But right now I would have to enter 5 or 12. Datatype in my other tables on field customer ID is set to text. Do I have to do a validation rule? How can I get it to show up the way I want it?

Customer#1 StockType#2 4
Customer#2 StockType#1 5
Customer#3 StockType#1 5
Hello,
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
Thanks,
Aleksander
I have a database which contains a field 'status'. This status takes a numerical value (1, 2, 3, etc...). Everything works great.
What I want is to monitor the length of time a field spends on particular status. Specifically, I want to record the length of time that the record spends with a status value of 3. So if the record has its status changed to 3, the system 'starts the clock' and once the status changes away from 3, the system 'stops the clock'. This must also continue if the status subsequently returns to 3 at a later date (for the same record) and cumulatively produce the total amount of time that the record spent on status 3.
Practical example
March 19th: Record is set to status 3 (for the first time)
March 21st: Record is set to status 1
March 25th: Record is set to status 3 (again)
March 27th: Record is set to status 2
In this scenario, I want visibility that the record has spent four days on status 3 altogether. I don't need exact times (nearest day will do). Ideally the system will only count working days (although this is not a must-have).
