Forms :: Uneditable Dataset In A Subordinate Form?
Jul 16, 2014
I've got a form with a combo box where I choose an employee and according to that employee's attributes are shown. Some of the attributes are stored in the same table with employee names, some of it is connected by foreign key to other tables. This form is not editable, information only. I've got a button "Edit employee" which opens another form intended to edit the information. I put text fields there by dragging the fields from tables. And so, for some reason, the only editable fields in that form are those connected by foreign key to the main table, but the main table fields are all not editable and error "not in dataset" comes up.
I have a "split form" in Access 2007 (where data is shown both in a table and in a set of text fields), and I'm trying to build in a subordinate form showing data from another table (linked to the first one as "one-to-many" with "one" on the side of the 1st table). It all works fine but for the fact that I always get a side effect: as soon as I add a datasource (the 2nd table) into the subordinate form, every record in the 1st table turns from a simple line into a "grouped" entry - i.e. I get records from the 2nd table visually added to records from the 1st one according to the keyfield value (though nothing actually happens to the tables in the DB, just their representation on the form).
Any idea why this happens and how it can be fixed? Thanks in advance :)
Code: SELECT purchaseOrder.poId, purchaseOrder.poYear, purchaseOrder.poDate, purchaseOrder.userId, purchaseOrder.currencyId, purchaseOrder.poSendDate, partnerDetails.name FROM purchaseOrder INNER JOIN (orderDetails INNER JOIN partnerDetails ON orderDetails.partnerDetailsId = partnerDetails.partnerDetailsId) ON Cstr(Format(purchaseOrder.poId,"00000")) = Nz(MID(orderDetails.poNo,6,5),"0");
Simple join query gives dup entries also, i need in single entry.When using Distinct query for the form control source, the record is uneditable, can i get the records without dups.
I have a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?
I'm having an odd problem with a form. We noticed this since migrating it from adp to accdb.
It's a form with two subforms in datasheet view, that contain data on a certain employee, which is selected on the main form.
If you use print preview before printing, it all prints out fine. However, if you use quick print, it does something weird. If you Pull up Employee A, then Employee B, and do a quick print, it will print the data for Employee A in subform 1, and the data for Employee B in subform 2. It displays correctly on the screen though, and the 2nd time you quick print, it comes out right.
I have a form with a dataset based on a table. (there are a number of buttons on the form with code so it's important I don't delete the form and start again with a new one)
The data displays correctly but the order is wrong. It displays the last record added as the first record when viewed in form view.
I want to reverse this order, how do i go about it? It seems very simple but I've yet to find a solution.
I also don't want to base it on a query because of the code mentioned earlier.
In Access 2010, I'm writing VBA code that assigns an ADO dataset as the recordsource for a form. The query itself varies and is constructed from a search term typed in a textbox by the user. The code below works perfectly until the dataset is empty, when no records satisfied the WHERE criteria. In that case, there is a very long pause (presumably a timeout?) and I eventually get the error message "ODBC call failed." I tried to get around this by testing the number of records in the dataset (see toward the end) before assigning it, but it makes no difference in the behavior, so I'm thinking the actual assignment isn't the issue ... something else is.
If it matters, the "FROM qry_beneficial_owners" in this case is predefined query local to my Access db. That query is based on a linked view from a SQL server.
Code: Public Sub RunSearch(SearchTerm As String) Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim sql As String Dim cols As String cols = "[acct], [acctname], [planid]"
i orginally thought i should do this in excel but i think when the dataset becomes larger and i want to eventually get it on the web - i thought its access i need?
i have created a mini dataset as an exmaple of what im trying to explain..i have in first column the objects, and columns after this are the elements needed to make the object (i have just labelled the element titles a b c etc - there will be LOTS of elements once i get the dataset created). so if i had a red blue green cream elements - a search would bring back both lights and lamps that i am able to make.
object A B C D E F G H lights red blue green cream lamp red blue green cream garage red blue green cream yellow brown purple pink house orange white green blue red black garden orange white green blue red garden house orange white green blue red
is there a way of creating a search lookup to this kind of information? a form which you type the criteria in and it brings back what you can make? if i was one element away from an object could I use a wildcard function to say, if you had black you could make a house?? etc
I have an bound textbox, what I want is that when the user selects a value from the combobox, he should not be able to edit it afterwards or as a mater of fact before the selection of the values(Uneditable combobox).
This is a very general question, but a problem that I hit repeatedly in my low level database work - I am not trained in databases at all, but have to use them to get on.
I find that when basing forms on select queries that are stacked on each other - (ie one query shows the results of two tables, that query then is joined to another table in another query and so on) that at some stage the query results become uneditable.
I cannot see why this happens. Is there a simple database rule that I am not adhering to here? Is there a maximum number of tables that can be joined in queries and form the basis of editable datasets in form view.
I'm just starting out to learn SharePoint, which I utterly hate thus far but anyway. So I have successfully linked to the sharepoint list in my DB, but I cannot edit any values for some reason. I can edit them in sharepoint and both systems update, but when I type in ANY box in access I get "Invalid arguement" error.... also note the new record button near the record navigators is greyed out so I can't add a record either.
I noticed that my library user group has URL... set to Read while all others are set to full control... is this the cause or something else?
I have a table into which users insert records through a user form, I need to track the updates made in a record in a data set and i have a user log in function, it needs to tell me who updated last and what did they update.
Using ODBC, is it possible to import only part of an Oracle dataset into Access 2007? If so, how would I do that? I have an Oracle table with 6 1/2 million records, but I onoly want to see the first 500,000 records.
If anyone can advise on how to do this, I would sure appreciate it.
I have an edit button in my form which activates VBA, collects all data from the fields and edit the dataset. Everything work fine except the case that next to the edit access adds a new record as well with exactly the same data.
This is my code :
Dim db As Database Dim rs As Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("select * from tbllocations where locationid = " & cdkey)
[code]...
I checked every parameter and it seems everything is OK which surely is the base for the correct edit of the dataset. locationid is the key of the table.
I used to to apply this logic in XL to do my job A-F = XL Columns & 1-9 XL Rows
ifA2=A1, E2+E1, E2
This is to have a cumulative figure for a month. Just bcoz the data is growing in large numbers, we were advised to use access for which I don't know how to perform this calculation.
I have a dataset showing sales by salesperson for each product. I'd like to summarize this data in a table that looks like this:
Note that some salespeople don't sell certain products and that these records show up with "0". My problem is that, in my actual dataset, if a salesperson doesn't sell a product, that records doesn't exist at all. Is there any way to append empty "0" records to my dataset? See attached for an Access file.
I have a a dataset that has recorded encounters with a number of Banded (identified) animals. It is currently setup so that each encounter is its own row; with all the information, including "Band_Num" repeated, but "Encounter_Date" being unique. I wanted to query the table and get it to display the results as "Band_Num" on a row, followed by x columns for with each unique "Encounter_Date" represented. I thought a "Group By" function would work, but that requires a sum, which is not useful.
Complicating this is the fact that not every individual is seen a set number of times, so Animal 1 might be seen 3 different dates, but Animal 2 only on 1 date.
I pulled a report from this website my company uses and it has around 7,000 orders and a corresponding employee to each record. Since each employee has around 20-50 orders, I was wondering if there was a VBA code or different Access tool to randomly select only 2 orders from each employee, thus reducing the data set from 7,000 to a more manageable number?
I want to display the ID of a dataset in a form but I don't want the user to be able to edit it. Therefore I want to display the id in a label and not a textbox or combo etc.
I can't see a way of how to do this though. Is this possible, or am I going about it the wrong way?
I have a simple form that has a subform with its datasource being a query that is a multi-table select (complex joins)... the subform is set to allow dataentry, edits, etc. I have a checkbox that displays a value from the query (0, -1). Is there a way I can enable this checkbox to write back to one of the tables? Temp table to hold the contents of the query?
Is it all possible to create the equivalent of a combo chart in Excel in Access?
What I need is a graph showing a certain dataset as columns but also a line showing the average for that set.
As an example lets take an exercise programme in a school, each child performs a series of exercises every week and data is recorded, to monitor their fitness progression.
Lets say I wanted to show a graph of one particular exercise, with the class students listed along the x axis, and then show the class average for that exercise dataset as a line on the same graph.
I am new to MS Access, and am not sure if what I want to do is even possible. It is my understanding that comparing subsequent cells within a field in a database cannot be done- so I thought I'd see if there is a way to go around it.
I have a dataset for pedestrian activity, with over 3 million rows and 40 columns - too big for excel to handle.
I need to sort the entire dataset by 2 fields, following which I need to search down the field containing my pedestrian ids (numbered 1, 2, 3... till approx 10000), and when my ped id changes from one to the next, I need to check the value in a field showing the ped location, and if that matches with the ped's previous location, I need to copy out a cell corresponding to the previous cell's time stamp. If it doesn't match, I need to copy out another time stamp from another field.
I have a reasonably complex query (3 subqueries into 1 main query) which gathers data from various tables into a single dataset based on a specified date.
I now need to generate a similar dataset but across a range of dates (a month) for reporting purposes. However, I can't just adapt the query and change the parameter from a "=#<Date>#" format to a "Between #<Date1># And #<Date2>#" format
The reason being, each date has to be treated individually and has to be queried as a standalone. It's to do with the type of data I have (one-to-many relationships between tables)
So what I really need to do is run the same query multiple times, for each date in scope, then stitch all of those datasets together into one 'giant' one.
How to do that in SQL (effectively, have one query produce the dates in scope, then join that onto the other query, passing each date as the parameter - I don't even think that's possible to be honest)
The other option I can think of is to use VBA to loop through the dates in scope, then use a QueryDef object to set the parameter and read the records for each date into a Recordset object. But then I have the problem of stitching all the Recordsets together, without looping through all the fields and rows each time.
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
