We have a form with the web browser control which links to Google maps and jumps to that location on the map by the lat and long and updates as you jump to each record. (The control is on a form and is only used there) The map itself works however i get a script error every time i jump to the next record....
View RepliesThe table I created keeps track of several addresses and I use a report to print them into a booklet. I'd like to include a small map in the printed booklet for each group or one map showing all the addresses in the booklet but I am not sure if there is a simple way for Access and Google Maps to communicate. Anyone have experience in this area? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create an automated way of making a way to contact our personnel in case phones cannot be used. I have a list of all the address and currently separated by cities. I want to step it up a bit and with the use of google maps create a shortest route map. So one representative from one city will go to each house, another will go to the other cities to another rep, who then goes to each house in their city.
I would need a map for one person to each of the other reps.
And a map for the reps to drive the shortest route yet hitting all targets.
Is this within the scope of Access and Google Maps? I've looked at some of the database made by others on here but none of them show ability to find shortest route.
Trying to get google maps to display on a form.
When it loads google maps webpage it goes straight to a page that says the following.
"You seem to be using an unsupported browser. Old browsers can put your security at risk, are slow and don't work with newer Google Maps features. To access Google Maps, you'll need to update to a modern browser".
I want to control the edits of form like if the fields in form are Area, Location, Country, Map, Landline
I want to stop edits on Map and Locations fields once saved yes but user can change rest fields.
Hi, Im trying to make a google like search query on my database so a user can type in one word and then the database will search for all the records which contain this word and display them.
Any ideas?? I only want it to search through the one table,
Im no expert on VB so if someone could translate it into basic english that would be good.
Cheers
Did you know that you can use Google to search the Access Forum and get a more refined result?
I find that the search facility provided is excellent at searching for single words. However it does not provide the sophistication of tools like Google for searching for exact phrases.
To get this sophistication do this:
Open Googles advanced page: (http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en)
The first section of this page is shaded blue, and contains the following items:
with all of the words
with the exact phrase
with at least one of the words
without the words
You can add words to varying degrees of sophistication for your search.
This is the important bit!
Just below this blue shaded area there is another section, go to the fifth item down in this section which is:"Domain" also make sure "Only" is selected. In the next text box (to the right of Only) place the domain you want to search in, this case you want to search the Access Forum so place in this box the following:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums
Now give it a try! Try searching for: "Date Selection" (without the Quotes)
If you search for this with the above Google method, you will get 90 results, If you search this result with the Forum search then you will get over 300 results.
Caveats:
Your search will only return items within the access-programmers site, and only items that are allowed to be indexed by Google.

I want to show ( or print ) on a report a specific URL on Google Maps with the ActiveX control "Microsoft Web Browser".
I managed to use the Google API on a form to show the actual URL found with X and Y coordinates.
Now I'd like to show the same URL on a report to send to the customer as a reference. Is there a way to get this done?
I already put a ActiveX control (Ms Web Browser) on a report and used the same URLstring in the ActiveX control , but nothing is shown on the screen.
I want to access my database from different locations. More than 1 user may be using it at the same time.
Can I put the back-end of a split database in a Google Drive folder or a Dropbox folder and have multiple copies of the front-end for each user in their own location.
I know that Dropbox creates copies if two people update the backend at the same time. What about Google Drive? How does Google Drive handle it.
What are the potential problems of using these two services to share a database?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a form with the text box "Project Name"
I have used a command button placed next to the project name box which if clicked opens up a finance details form for the project name box.
Problem is if that project does not have any finance details it still opens up the form but just comes up as totally blank.
Is there anyway i can get an error message to come up and say
"No matching data found for this project" when they click the command button to open up the finance form, but there is no finance data?
I have tried but unsuccessfully.
I entered this code
Private Sub Label75_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Label75_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contract Filtered"
If Combo22 = "" Then
MsgBox "No Matching Data Found", vbExclamation
End If
stLinkCriteria = "[Project Number]=" & Me![ProjectName]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Label75_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Label75_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Label75_Click
End Sub
But instead of not opening the blank form, it comes up with the error message and then opens the blank form.
Or if there is finance data for that project it comes up with the error box still and opens the form
Any ideas people?
Thank you please
how to get a "sound" to occur everytime a certain message box pops up.I wrote the following code which currently allows the MsgBox to open when the criteria is met, BUT it does not make a sound when opening. I followed the instructions as per this link URL....
Private Sub Open_frmAccessories_Click()
If (Me!txtProductGroup) = 9 Then
MsgBox "This Product Does Not Have Any Accessories", -vbExclamation, "NO Accessories for this Product"
Exit Sub
Else
[code]....
I have attached a copy of the pop up box to show it is working correctly, albeit without the sound function. Curiously, if I click on any button in the Products main screen behind the Error Msg box, i.e. "New" or "Close" the SOUND occurs at that point!

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 built a database which has a number of forms with a frm_PartNo subform in.When ever I click a button to load one of these forms I get the following error message: ECN Database v1.31 cannot find the referenced form 'frm_PartNo'. But when the form loads the sub form is there with all the related data !
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm getting an error on some fairly simple code attached to a form's Unload event, but I'm only seeing it when I switch my form to design mode. My code does look like it's working under normal conditions,I've attached a simplified database that reproduces the problem in all its glory. I've searched for similar problems and solutions but none have quite hit the spot.
The code is supposed to prevent users closing a form if they haven't entered at least one record in the subform. In my attached example, you shouldn't be able to close the form if you are currently on a Person record that has no linked Hobby record. Do do this, I have used the following code in the Unload event of frmPerson:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.frmhobby.Form.Recordset.RecordCount < 1 Then
Call MsgBox("you must enter at least one hobby for this person")
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
To see it working properly, go to Person record 3 (Laura Blackwood) which has no Hobby records, and try to close the form. You can't close it until you have entered a hobby for this person. As far as I can see the code works as expected.
Now navigate to Person Record 4 (Mary McArthur). Instead of trying to close the form, switch the form to Design View. You will get the following error: "Runtime error 2455: You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property form/report". Return to Form view and navigate to record 2 (Kevin Petersen), then switch back to Design View - same error. Interestingly, you don't ever get the error on Record 1. All this is exactly what happens on my real database too.
So I'm worried that my code isn't right despite appearances. I thought switching to Design View just goes through the same Unload-Deactivate-Close routine as when you close a form in a conventional way? I also know that subforms unload after forms, so since the code is attached to the Form, the subform should still be available to it and shouldn't result in a reference error.
I have written the following code for checking whether a query exists.
Code:
Function QueryExists(strQueryName As String) As Boolean
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Checks whether a query already exists
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.QueryDef
On Error GoTo err_handler
Set db = CurrentDb
[code]....
Here I try to intercept the error message in vain.
I have a simple access database which up until now was working as it should. Then i made a Backup of the database Named it something different deleted certain data from the backup and when i went back into the original DB i now have #Name? where it used to calculate 2 fields.
View 1 Replies View RelatedContinuous forms error.
Hi,
I have a database which displays one form as a subform of another form. Originally the subform was displayed in datasheet view, but now due to changes I am trying to make to the system I want to display this subform as continuous forms. Unfortunately in datasheet view, when a record of the main form has several records (ie enough to require scrolling down the list) in the subform I get errors when scrolling through these subform records.
The error message that access is displaying is "The Value you entered isn't valid for this field. eg you have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits."
I thought ok, maybe the subform design was duff (I am taking over a system designed by someone else) and so created a new subform, but the error still occurs with a totally fresh subform. The error occurs even when viewing the subform on its own. With a lot of records displayed on screen in the continous forms view I get numerous occurances of the abopve mentioned error message box and access eventually crashes. Yet in datasheet view everything is fine.
It's incredibly annoying as I can't fathom out what is causing the problem and how to fix it and to go about what I am doing in another way (ie without using continous forms) will mean scrapping a whole days work. I also don't like to do things a different way just because I can't get it to work the way I'd like to.
If anyone has some solutions to this problem I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance!

I'm getting a runtime error 13 on this line of code. Its a piece of code to make a directory, but I cant see anything wrong!
Code:
strBackUpDogNameFolder = "c:GPandDetectionDogTrainingLogBackUpsandReports" & Forms![frm_Profile]![Discipline] " & Forms![frm_Profile]![DogName]"
I have a Main form (MainForm) with two subforms (SFormA, SFormB). These SForms are connected to the MainForm by a control (controlA) and connected to each other by a control (controlB) via an unbound control in the main form, in order to change data in SFormB according to selected record in SFormA. SFormB has an on current event procedure determined to show different things depending on the value of a bound control that changes every time I select a different record in SFormA. Everything works fine when Mainform and SForms first load.
But, when I select a record on SFormA I get a runtime error and everything stops, application closes and reopens, creating a safety copy. It seems to me that the on current procedure on SFormB causes this problem, because if I delete it no error appears (SFormB not showing what I want though). Funny thing is I have another database, same design, same structure, same procedures, (different objects and names of course) and it works perfectly alright. I even recreated the whole database still the same error.
I use the switchboard wizard to set up a switchboard. At the moment my main switchboard has 3 items and they are all set to 'open form in add mode' and they all point to the same form at the moment (which does exist).
When I try to go to form view of the switchboard I get the error 'The control name label1 is misspelled or refers to a control that doesn't exist'. Behind it I can see the form in form view and I can see there are the 3 menu items I would expect but when I close the error dialogue and the following 'close macros' dialogue' it goes back to design view. In design view I can only see one menu item (which seems to be a text box rather than a label) instead of 3. I changed it to a label but it didn't work.
A receive a compile error when an OpenForm macro action is executed. The error message is: The form you referenced may be closed or may not exist in the database. Microsoft Access may have encountered a compile error in a Visual Basic module for the form.
How do I fix this compile error ?
