I'm working on a db for work. On my Nav form, I have two tabs- each tab has cmd btns that open up different search or data entry forms. I also have a few reports that can be opened based on a query I created.
The last thing I want to add is a control/button that opens the query wizard so the user doesn't have to navigate to the "Create" tab of access. The reason behind this is that one user may not know how/where to find the query/report wizard.
Is there some VBA code or Macro I can create to add this functionality to a button ("Create New Report" or "Create New Query".)
When I try to use form/report wizard, I click on New, Form Wizard. Then I got form where I should pick fields for my form/report. But I have no one field on left side. Above I select Table but haven't any available field. I use Windows XP and Office 2003. Can anyone help me?

Access 2007 Pro.Attempting to use a query and a table to populate a 1:N form/subform using the Form Wizard. The wizard will not display the field names of the query.
Howdy All!!! I am receiving the below error message: "You have chosen fields from record sources which the wizzard can't connect. You may have chosen fields from a table and a form a query based on that table. If so, try choosing fields from onluy the table or only the querry."
OK here is what is going on... I have a table that is linked to a *.txt file. This *.txt file comes from our AS400 and is the root of all my information. It has 2 pieces of information in it that I need to seperate out and then eventually join back together. It is a space delimited file. The 2 pieces of information are: 1) Header (Dates, Vessell, and Container information) 2) Body (Product information and qty of each Container)
The mapping looks like this: Header='ISPDD' 1- A Record Name = mid(1,5) [Ref. Example:ISPDD] 2- Unique Key = mid(6,7) [Ref. Example:0000001] 3- Container Number = mid(13,10) [Ref. Example:MK03000001] 4-Arrival Date = mid(23,8) [Ref. Example:06092004]
Body='ISPDT' 1- A Record Name = mid(1,5) [Ref. Example:ISPDT] 2- Unique Key = mid(6,7) [Ref. Example:0000001] 3- A item code = mid(13,6) [Ref. Example:007529] 4- A item color = mid(19,3) [Ref. Example:015] 5- Item Qty = mid(22,6) [Ref. Example:111111]
What I did is wrote 2 query's. One that looked at the *.txt file and produced results on [Like "ISPDD*"] to give me just the HEADER information. I then added the criteria from the space delimited mapping above. I did the same to pull out just the BODY information, again adding the criteria to the query from the space delimited mapping above.
Now that I have the two pieces of information, I want to run a report and combind the 2 together in a more reader friendly format. In doing so I received the error message above.
I then tried having the query's create a new table after they run (one Header Table and one Body Table). Once that completed I created a relationship between the 'UniqueKey Header' and 'UniqueKey Body'. This actually worked but, when I receive a new *.txt file and run the query it gives me read only/cannot delete files because of relationships. Needless to say I am in a bind. Hopefully I shared enough detail to help me with my problem. Many thanks in advance for the help. One other piece of info, This *.txt file can contain many headers and boddy information. I have received one that had at least 10 different Unique keys that had to be linked together.
Hey can I transfer data into a report wizard, to have the wizard use that data instead of the data in a table or query?? This data would come from a form.
I know there is a Access Guru out there that could do this in a milisecond, but, this one has been kickin my backside all week...
I need to know how to create a shortcut button in a form to bring up the "Report Wizard" feature. Then after that button is created, I would like to be able to hide the structure of my database so that all the users can see is the switchboard. PLEASE give me some insight here if you can, the first correct reply gets free fries with thier next order...
I am trying to generate a report from a select query using the report wizard. The wizard is showing the error of subscript of out range. What is the reason and how can be rectified?
I want to create a form that allows a user to enter criteria that will be passed to an existing make table query. suggestions on a user friendly book on Access 2010 programming, I'd be really interested. I'd like to be able to do more with Access 2010.
I am looking to call two different queries from report wizard to produce report. Getting error message what to do in this situation as both queries are important as i have to pick all records from query A and just one record from query B any other option to get this in report.
Table: "Facility Info" Data in the table: "facility", "city", "date", etc. Query: "Q Facility" Report: "R Facility" Form: "Main Form" is where the data is entered that goes into the "Facility Info" table.
In the "Main Form" there is a dropdown box where I can select the "facility".I would like to add a button to this form that opens my report "R Facility". But this report is a collection of all the facilities and I would like it to just report the ones for the facility that I selected from the dropdown box on my "Main Form".
Working on a form and when using the wizard to add a command button or a txt box the wizard gives it a funny name like command989. Im wondering why? Where does this default come from and why is the number so high? There is no way anywhere near that number of command buttons on this form.
I am trying to create a user form with sub form using the form wizard. I have only 2 tables, Employee (main table) and Vacation (subform table). I pick the fields from Employee Table then fields fro Vacation, but the wizard treat the Vacation as main form and Employee as sub form.
Hello, I have just started on Access: creating 2 tables with primary keys and one-to-many relationships, and 2 simple queries. I want to create a form but can never complete the wizard or auto-form or else because it crashes with the pop-up message "object variable or with block variable not set" ? what does this mean? thanks for your help.
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.
I am running Office 2003 with the latest updates on XP Professional SP2, again with the latest updates. The install was fresh only about a week ago, and I had only used this install of Access for a few hours before it started doing it!
I have tried creating a totally new database, or using an existing database, and the same happens. This led me to believe it was my Office install. I tried doing a repair through add/remove programs, which successfully repaired Office apparently, yet the problem persists. I even totally removed Office, rebooted, and reinstalled, and tried without updates!
I have made a form using the wizard, the form is based on some tables. Now I have to add one new table to the form, how can I do this? If I change the recordsource, it wouldn't work, I can't even write anything in the form. Is it possible to add a new table or query to a form that is made with the wizard? Or have I to made the whole form again??
During the create form from wizard process, there is a screen which gives the option of applying a style. Can this be bypassed or can a 'none' option be added.I'm new to access, so any suggestions are welcome. I think creating a form in design view will build with no syle, but how do you add fields?thanks
When I try to create a form using the form wizard a window opens that shows the table/queries that exist in the file.This is fine all the tables and queries appear in this drop down list. However, under this drop down list is another box that is suppose to show the available fields that are in the table or query that you selected.The problem is that none of the fields appear in the box. I tried reinstalling the program. That didn't work. I've tried reinstalling the acwztool.mde ,acwzlib.mde, acwzmain.mde files individually from the program and that doesn't work. I'm using Access 2000
Any help would be appreciated. Nothing appears on the microsoft knowledge base regarding this issue.
I'm very new to access, but eager to learn. I have created two tables. When I try to create a query using the query wizard, or when I try to create a report also using the wizard I don't see any available fields. I click on the table, but I see no available fields. However, when I go to design view, I'm able to see all the fields. Does anybody know a sloution to this problem.

For my assignment at college, i'm making a database about an IT company. I've created all the tables and the relationships between them at college, and I sent it home so I could work on tonight. When I go through the wizard, I can select the table but there are no fields for me to choose from no matter which table I choose. I have added all the data into each table.
I am using access 2003, however the text above the window with the tables/forms/queries selections says 'Access 2000 format.
The form creation worked at college but I have no idea why it is not working at home. Please help, I'm running out of time lol :confused:
I am trying to create a lookup wizard to record the number of people who attend a regular event. I have a table recording the names, surnames and DOB of registered members and a number of other tables for regular events we hold. Previously people have been manually adding the names of attendees and of course there have been inconsistencies in the data. I want them to look up the names from the table of registered members. I have been using the lookup wizard, but it is only displaying the first name in a string. I need it to display id, first name, surname and DOB in a table. I also want to be able to type in the first letter and then pick from the list.
