I have an unbound form, with a subform datasheet (sfmStaffDS) - not linked to the parent form, which displays a list of all staff. There is another subform (sfmStaff), which displays data based on a field in the form which takes its value from the DA subform.To add a staff member I press the button and this clears the fields down as expected.
However, when I start entering data (in the First NAme field), I get the error as stated in the title. Interestingly, I can carry on and the data gets saved as 'normal'.I have used this technique before with success, except that the DS subform is linked to a value on the parent form.
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 keep getting this message when I try and input a product ID in the subform in my 'Order Form', the message says 'you can't assign a value to this object' and when i try to click the row below it says 'You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'Invoices'', how can I change this? do i have to relate it to the Products table and if so how do i do this? Thanks, Bob.

Greetings, all. Run into a snag with a payroll db, appreciate any help you can give me.
Main Form, with ordinary payroll/personnel info--clock no, first and last names, S.S.no., etc. Subform for entering regular hours worked, OT hours worked, etc per Period Ending, keyed to main form by SS no. Pretty basic stuff.
Problem is, when we try to enter the first data in the subform, we get this error message : "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."
We get the message in the first field we go to, no matter which field we go to first. None of the "may be" conditions apply.
When we hit "OK" the message goes away and we can enter our data, the records are created corrected. But as soon as we move to the next record, we get the same error.
I have searched the forums and I don't see this problem. I have a split database. When I test it it works fine. It resides on a network drives and permissions have been checked. When users try it they get an error message that says "you can't assign a value to this object". This occurs after they have selected a project and the user form opens. The user form appears blank.
I have gone to other offices and if I am signed on to their machines it works but if they are the message comes up. I'm at a complete loss and need some advice. It's probably as plain as the nose on my face but I've been struggling for days.
By the way - I used to be Mrs.Meeker...I haven't been around for a long time.
I am trying to use Access 2007 popup calendar to populate a combo box with a selected date. When I select the date on the calendar the above error appears.
Code:
Private Sub Calendar9_Click() 'Set Date to the selected date and hide the clalendar. MAssBDate.Value = Calendar9.Value MAssBDate.SetFocus Calendar9.Visible = False End Sub
Not sure whats going on here, nothing on the table that stops this from working. I just get Run-time error "2448 You can't assign a value to this object" When the code runs.
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim rst As DAO.Recordset MySQL = " Select max(ID) from TblUserQry" Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(MySQL) Myid = rst.Fields(0) + Int(Rnd(1) * 10) Me.txtMyID.Value = Myid
I have a form that runs from a query which combines data from 2 tables. I am trying to set up a filter on the form using a number of combo boxes and text boxes and a command button to fire it but I keep getting the above error (on the .Filter = strFilter line) and I can't see what the problem is with my code.
Private Sub cmdApplyFilter_Click()
Dim strSSType As String Dim strArea As String Dim strDepot As String Dim strStatus As String Dim strRisk As String Dim strZone As String Dim strContractor As String Dim strFilter As String
If IsNull(Me.cboSSType.Value) Then strSSType = "'Like '*'" Else strSSType = "='" & Me.cboSSType.Value & "'" End If
If IsNull(Me.cboArea.Value) Then strArea = "'Like '*'" Else strArea = "='" & Me.cboArea.Value & "'" End If
If IsNull(Me.cboDepot.Value) Then strDepot = "'Like '*'" Else strDepot = "='" & Me.cboDepot.Value & "'" End If
If IsNull(Me.cboStatus.Value) Then strStatus = "'Like '*'" Else strStatus = "='" & Me.cboStatus.Value & "'" End If
If IsNull(Me.cboRisk.Value) Then strRisk = "'Like '*'" Else strRisk = "='" & Me.cboRisk.Value & "'" End If
If IsNull(Me.cboZone.Value) Then strZone = "'Like '*'" Else strZone = "='" & Me.cboZone.Value & "'" End If
If IsNull(Me.cboContractor.Value) Then strContractor = "'Like '*'" Else strContractor = "='" & Me.cboContractor.Value & "'" End If
Hi Gang, I'm new to this forum so please bare with me. I have spent the last two days trying to resolve, or work out why on earth I am getting this error message. I am at the point of pulling my hair out - its SO frustrating so *any* suggestion would be great. I have created a small database for plant (as in flowers) details. To cut a long story short, its a simple db fronted by a form that allows me to display and add records together with an associated image (stored outside the db). I was trying to write some code that would look at the control that displays the image and, if there is no image associated with a particular record, it would display an "add new image" button. If there is an associated image, the buttons visable property is set to false. I had ammended a section of code for the forms "on current" event and saved the changes. I then changed to form view, tried to enter a new record and access throws up the error message. It does not matter which field I try to add data in, the same error still happens. I have checked, and re-checked all my code and property settings for every control and field on the form and I can not track down what is causing this error. I noticed from searching this forum that someone else had this error but the resolution does not appear to have been posted so can anyone help in any way at all. My grateful thanks, Kenny
I am currently building a database for the company I work for that is fairly similar to the Northwind Database; however it is made from scratch so hopefully some of the common problems with that database won't find their way into mine.My problem is that when I go to my Orders form, I pick a customer from the main form, which creates a record on the Orders table. When I then go to the subform to choose a product/line item, I get the error in my title ("The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'OrdersT.") as soon as a product is chosen from the drop down list.
I am total green in access specially in VBA world and trying to learn during my free time..I am able to learn to learn how to assign values to LISTBOX, based on already created Query (using Wizard).Now I am trying to learn, HOW to create the query through VBA and assign to listbox instead of first creating query..What exactly I am trying to learn is upon opening of the my listbox show already existed records (for information)
Following the information tlb name = Currency tlbfield1=Currencycode tlbfield2=Currencyname
I'm new to access and I'm struggling with the transfer of a form we use for fieldwork. I want a technician to be able to come in from the field and enter data in a way that is visually similar to how the collected it. To do this, I have created a form that is structured like this:
View 1 View 2 View3 View4 Sediment % XX XX XX XX
In the table 'results' , I would like to collate the information in what I call 'flat format', which is structured like so:
Site Date Parameter Value
XX XX SedimentView1 XX XX XX SedimentView2 XX ...
The thing is, I can only figure out how to assign a text box to a single field, i.e. value. What I need is for the field 'Parameter' to autofill based on the value-textbox name, e.g SedimentView1. Is there some simple way to do this?
Auto number will not work for what I want to do. I am creating a simple database that will assign the user with the next incremental number in a field. The intent of the database is for the user to enter three text fields and then obtain the number. I believe that Dmax would work but do not know how to make populate the table.
I have a form called departments . one that form i have 5 buttons. I want this form only to open when some logs onto the database . The buttons represent each department ...
1. sales 2 purchasing etc etc
Is it possible to assign a password to those buttons so each department has security to their own form ...
I am using a basic Order form and Order Details subform to capture my information. Customer is selected, then Products and Quantities are filled in... the subform calculates the total price. This all works great. Then I have a problem.
I have some national customers that require shipping to multi regions. I would need to select the regions and it has to calculate a new case cost for each product for each area. Could be up to 100 (10 products x 10 areas) new calculated prices.
Then for other customers, I will use just the case cost for the whole order (multiple products) and add one shipping fee to cover the drop. 3 products and only 1 fee added to the total.
Currently, my Order Form uses a Tab page and the Order Details are on the first tab. I could put the Shipping Info on the second tab, I just don't know how to add up to 10 different shipping regions to generate 10 new prices or the one drop fee to the total price.
I am working with textbox [DispCD] (a date field) on form [Contract]. There is a dropdown on combobox [Searchbox] for selecting the desired record. I am writing VBA in the [Searchbox] OnChange event. The control source for [DispCD] would normally be "=Searchbox.column(11)". If "column(11)" has a date, I want [DispCD] to show that date and then be locked. If "column(11)" does NOT have a date, I want [DispCD] to allow entry of a date with the date picker showing. I've tried to assign the control source to [DispCD] with this:
CSVal = Format(Forms![Contract]!SearchBox.Column(11), "ddd m/d/yyyy") (this works) If CSVal = "" Then _ Forms![Contract]!DispCD.countrolsource = "=SearchBox.Column(11)"
I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" error.
The code I am modifying looping through Me.controls collection to identify appropriate control types. Is there a way to influence the order (sequence) of that traversing? Or in different words, is there a way to assign by design certain item number to a given control?
I have a linked table in ms access and it has a column as details. in ms access when i click on this button i will go to another form. i want to assign a picture (for opening a form) to this column but i don't know how i have to do this. my form opens as a datasheet view.
Is it possible to assign a query to the recordsource of a form dynamically? I assume the answer is yes. Can this action be done when the form is not open? If yes what is the correct syntax to use when the code is in a normal module as a public sub? I tried many possibilities and could not get it to work.
Code: Dim ForNm as string Dim Qry as string ForNm = "PersonalFm" Forms(ForNm).Recordsource = Qry Forms![PersonalFm].Recordsource = Qry [Forms]![PersonalFm].Form.Recordsource = Qry
What I want to be able to do is to assign a back colour to a control from VBA. There are many colours and what I thought would be an easy process was to choose a suitable colour to be assigned using the colour picker for a control, note the hex number then in my vba code would be
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34
This compiles OK, but produces a completely different colour - I'm expecting an orange colour but getting blue and in another example a pale blue is coming out a brown.
Research indicates adding an ampersand to the end changes the value from integer to long but if I type
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34&
The second ampersand disappears. In the immediate window
All produce the same value of 15772980, which if I copy back to the control backcolour property produces the blue colour and not the required orange - which if i debug.print me.mycontrol.backcolor give me 3452400 - the correct number for orange.
The problem seems to be converting the hex number to a long.
Also how to modify the properties window to show the decimal value rather than the hex value, but can't see anywhere to do this.
I am relatively new to Access and VB. I am trying to create a log-in system that assigns a security clearance to each user and then restricts access to certain forms and reports based on security clearance. Right now, I have set up the log-in system - that seems to work fine. But when I try to lock the form based on security clearance, I get the 2450 - Form Not Found - error.
The code I am using on the form is as follows:
Private Sub Form_Open (Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 1 Then MsgBox "You do not have access to this form", vbOkOnly DoCmd.Close acForm, "formname" EndIf
When I attempt to create a new DB - by performing Blank Database I immediately get a message 'Object Library not registered'.
If I 'OK' that box and try to create a table, I can do so - create Table in design view.
When I then try to Import external data - an excel file I get the message 'ActiveX component Can't create object'.
I have looked ob various sites for help and forum information regarding these errors but have found nothing conclusive, with specidfic regard to Access 2003.
The version has been loaded on my machine about 1 year as part pf Office Professional but this is the first time I have attempted to run Access itself.
Does any forum member have any ideas as to how this problem could be resolved.
