Forms :: When Creating Form From Tables / Don't Have Picture Shown
Jan 31, 2015
When I have a simple table, users pictures inside maps (jpeg,png...) defined as OLE object, when creating the form from that tables, don't have picture shown, only name of the picture? I tried all the options, package, copy, paste... nothing...always the same... just picture name but no picture.
I am trying to create an input form for input to tables.There is a main TblContacts table with fields such as: LastName, FirstName, Address, etc. There are also ID fields for the Company and Country and joins to the Company and Country tables, each with just ID and name fields.I want to have all the fields from the TblContacts table and the Name fields from the Company and Country tables on the form. I want to be able to select the Name fields from the Company and Country tables from combo boxes and for these also to populate the Company and Country ID fields (from the TblContacts table).
To create the form, I selected Create Form whilst the TblContacts was open. Then, I added the combo boxes pulling the names from the Company and Country tables.My problem is that the selection of the Company and Country names above is NOT populating the Company and Country ID fields on the form (taken from the TblContacts table. I have checked in relationships that the joins have been created.
Essentially I have a table for rooms around my school and what the rooms contain. Most of the details for the rooms are Boolean (e.g. If the room has a projector, Yes/No). So what im trying to do is have a form where i can select a checkbox(s) and if i tick one, a query that holds all the room details will only show rooms with projectors in them, which i can then display those results in another form.
My question is how do I get the check boxes in the form to narrow down the room results to only show the ones with the criteria i have selected in the form?
I am creating a database of bird banding and breeding records for the refuge where I currently intern. To do this, I have created the following tables:
Adult Banding Records Nestling Banding Records Historical Banding Records
The specific issue:
I have already created forms for entering data into these tables, but now I would like to create a "search" form that will use the primary key (which is always the band number of the individual bird, across all tables) to search ALL the tables and pull up all the information on that record. This will be convenient when we recapture a bird that is already banded, so we can look up their information in our database. Also, since I plan to add many more tables, it would be nice to not have to search each table individually.
How do I create a form that will allow me to enter data into three different tables?
I have a rather simple database for tracking students. When I get a new student I need to take information off their paper application and enter it into three separate tables, Student, Families, and Demographics. Each of these tables contains the fields StudentID, StudentFirst, and StudentLast.There is a relationship between the StudentID field on each table, with Student being the main table and Families and Demographics coming off of it. All relationships are one to many. StudentID is the key for the table Student.
I want to create a form to add a new record to each of these tables. I want my data to be displayed in the Columnar style. I only want to enter StudentID, StudentFirst and Studentlast once and have it populate to all three tables.
I can create a form and a query that displays existing entries exactly like how I want to enter them, but of course I can not edit or add to them. I have tried using subforms, but they don't seem to link up. Once I enter the Name, I want it to be on all the forms. I don't want to have type it three times. I also tried creating three separate forms and connect them with the Navigation Form. The issue again is that once I enter the name in one form, it is not automatically on the next form.
Mainform width is 22"(Maximum) Subreport Wdth is also 22" (Maximum)
When i run the mainform, the subreport shows correctly but the vertical scrollbar is at most right side of main form so i have to scroll main form horizontally first to access the vertical scroll bar of subreport.
To solve, changing subreport orientation to right-to-left shows vertical scroll bar at most left but still if i scroll horizontally on mainform, that scrollbar hides as its not freezed.
Consider ActiveX Control of Microsoft ScrollBars 2.0 .....
I have form where I will show the details of one table(member details table). In same form I have subform where I can get the member family details (here I am using the relationship table), now my problem is when Member detail form open based on the member id, the below subform data should be fetched...
I created 1 query from all 3 tables, then created the form from that 1 query.Now when I enter data into the form and click to save it , it produces this error message:The Microsoft Database Engine cannot find a record in the tblGas with key matching fields 'tblMain_GasID.The tblGas does contain a field GasID, but does it mean that the field should be tblMain_GasID
I've been tasked with creating an Access database..We have a main table that includes information found on every lease, however there are 3 leases types. Each which lead to another table or two. Basically, I want to create a form that allows me to link the main table with the corresponding variable tables.
I am building a form to create a user record and at the same time i have some yes/no options which are located in other tables but when i want add a user i cannot select any yes/no options they seem locked?
The form is specifically made to be wider than the screen, so that there is a scroll bar at the bottom. I have an embedded picture for the background which is intended to be the size of the form, meaning that the picture is also wide.
In Design view, I can see that the background picture fits the form perfectly, which is what I want to see in Form View.
In Form view, though, the picture is squished to fit the screen. The only time it doesn't do that is if I set the Picture Size Mode to Clip, but then it only shows a portion of it, and when I scroll horizontally, the background picture doesn't scroll with it.
I would like to set up a picture in the form that changes based on a combobox selection, for example if you select from combo box list "design1", a picture that have a name : design1 will appear as a background to the form ..
" Is it possible to toggle the visibility of a picture on a form's detail section for each row based on a query whether a certain condition is met? "
I have a form, which fetches data from a database and populates the content as a number of rows in the detail section.
For each row I want to test if a certain 'yes/no' condition is met on each query and the toggle the visibility on a picture that I have placed in the detail section.
I've tried seveal possible solutions now, like macros and VBA but haven't got it working.
I'm creating a database for a flower shop for training purpose. I have a main form with a sub form that has the orders in it. when placing a new order for a client and selecting the product from the combo box, it would be great if the product could show up to the right in the form.
I have no clue if this is possible and how to get it working. I have included the database as an attachment, which way to follow. I remember that I could do this on a web page, but a web page is not the same as a database.
If i have a new entry from the user, and i want access to create a table on its own, with the table name defined by the user and the elements of the tables already pre-defined by a sample table that i already do out... Is there any way of doing it? Thanks for any helpful souls around...
In the form frmOrders of my database i have a combobox where i can choose a ClientID and the dropdown list shows me all the clients in upgoing order with their related orders in descent order.But the drop down list doesn't show all available clients. The two hundred heighest clientnumbers aren shown. However if i type one of these clientnumbers in the textbox of the combobox, the client is found.If i go to the property sheet of the combobox and activate the query that serves as the recordsource of the combobox, all clients are shown!!!I control of the records of these clients in the table Orders, doesn't show any difference with all the other records.What can be the reason for these behaviour. Is it a question of a limit of records that can be shown via a combo box?
I have a form with a sub form. The parent form has a field called 'ReportedBy'. The user enters their name in this field. I want the subform to display all records that have been created by the name in ReportedBy. I have based the subform source object on the following sql query:
SELECT * FROM tblFault WHERE tblfault.reportedby=[forms]![frmfault]![reportedby];
The sub form only shows one record even though there are more records in the table????
I am trying to develop a DB that is multi user. i ahve not split the data from the forms into separate db's as the users are in different locations and our network can be very slow.
part of the requirerment is to produce a drawing approval form, my current sticking point is that the method i am currently using to create the forms only allows one person at a time to use the process.
currently i have a command button that runs a query and then creates a table from the results. the table is then used as the data source for a mail merged form in word.
what i ultimatly need is a process which allows multiple users to generate these forms at the same time and have the ability to save the form (with no code behind it) as a word document (either RTF etc)
i am thinking that if i create a query on the fly in VB and then use the results to use in a report this would allow me to do the above.....
So my questions are:
1) is my assumption correct 2) If so, how do i do it as i have never done it before 3) If the above is not the best solution/ does not work... what will/is
My Database consists of three tables and a linking table, tbl graves, tbldeceased,tblmemorail and tbl memorialtablejoin.
Having completed my tables and checked that the relationship data gives the correct data I decided to embark on a simple form to display all the data on a single form.
So I used the create Form option, selected add existing fields. All of my tables are shown in the fields list.
From tblgraves I selected plot and grave Id, from tbl deceased forename and surname and from tbl memorial the inscription field.
The form was created but on examination I realised that my total records was shown as 12000 records whereas tble graves and tbl deceased has 39000 records and tblememorial 17000 records
So I created the form using just tblgraves and tbldeceased and that shows my 39201 records.
If I leave form view and go back to design view and add the inscription record from tblMemorials I see the message box as per the attachment.
Not every grave or deceased has a memorial but I would expect to see my 39000 records
I've also attached a screen shot of my relationships...
I have a question on number of records displaying in datasheet view on a form. Is there a way to limit the number of records showing on open.I have a command button on a Navigation form that opens a frmEnterPartsOrder using a Macro.
I have set the Macro to OpenForm, View Datasheet then GoToRecord, Record New..Works perfectly, but it does open the form and fill the screen with records, putting focus on the "new" record at the bottom of the form. Is there a way to set it to open this form, but only display say last 10 records and then focus on "new" record.
I'm having a few issues with creating a Lookup on an Access form. I'll recreate the scenario below as best i can to help with my explanation.
I have 2 data entries. The first is a Post Code (Zip code), and the second is an Area Rating that applies to the Post code. For example:
Post code AB1 8 is awarded a rating of A Post code SO1 3 is awarded a rating of F
I have already created a table in Excel with all 2,922 Post Codes (AB1 1 to ZE3 9) and the corresponding Area Rates (A to F)
What i'm making is a form that holds customer details. I'd like a combo box or text box that when you type in the Post Code, another text box automatically displays it's corresponding Area Rating.
Code:Post Code: Area Rating:------------- --------------| CM2 7 | | A |------------- --------------
I apologise for my really very poor diagram :P
So the Post Code box is either typed into or a combo box with the list of Post Codes, and the Area Rate box cannot be typed in to, but it automatically displays the record dependant on what is in the Post Code box.
Ideally, these will also be recorded onto the main table (IE not the table with the list of post codes or area ratings, but a 3rd table holding the rest of the details that will be used to create statistics and graphs)
Can anyone help me with how to do this? I've been trying to work it out all afternoon!
I was wondering how to create a form which is using data from three tables, the data in the tables does not have any relationship setup as they are not related to each other. When I use the wizard and I select the three tables, Access starts complaining about the fact that no relationship has been setup...
In the current db there are some tables and queries, forms designed around them
With one table Test http://members.optusnet.com.au/~lukechang/access/table_d.JPG
That has 3 records in them http://members.optusnet.com.au/~lukechang/access/table.JPG
Just won't show in form anymore, at this stage http://members.optusnet.com.au/~lukechang/access/form.JPG
The Form was working previously. This is the second time this problem has came up, I thought it would go away if I made a new form and pasted all the controls and codes. It indeed went away for a while until this problem hit me again...
This db is in Access 2000 format and designed using Access 2003
I would appreciate if anyone is willing to point me to the right directions, many many thanks in advance
is there anyway you can create one form which updates all the information in multiple tables. I need to create one of these to make the navigation of the database more easy, so if anybody could help me it would be much appreciated.
