Forms :: Dealing With Customized Subforms
Jun 25, 2013
I have a form that I designed that contains two subforms.The first subform is an entry subform so you can post the current client visits.The second subform I want to just display all prior client visits and make updates or deletions if needed.
It does not appear that I can make the first subform entry= yes additions allowed=YES in the properties.The second subform I want entry=No and addition=no..When I pull up the properties sheet for each of the subforms these options do not appear. They appear only on the main FORM, FORM property sheet. I thought I could create two new forms with the properties I desire and then copy them into the main form.

Hi,
I have seen a MDE Access db last week with 2 new things in it
1. The db had 2 customized menu (1st one was in English and Second one
was in Local language). There was small button on customized menu bar called 'E' by clicking of which the whole customized menu was
replaced by English menu bar. In fact the db was created for bilingual
user. There was only one customized menu bar at a time. Means if you click command button 'E' it was replacing the local language menu bar with English bar and if you click 'E' second time (This time the button caption is in local langauge), the English language menu bar was re-appearing
2. When the user clicked to change menu to English, all the forms and
report captions turned into English.
It was very new thing for me.
I am interested to apply the same tricks in my db so the user can
handle my db in local language even if don't know English well.
I would be grateful to If somebody amongst you know and donate to our
access family in a sample db (At least replacing menu trick) ...
Thanks,
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

Hello everyone.
Not sure if this is possible...but I hope it is!
I have created user security with limited access for specific groups to certain forms in my database.
However, when a user attempts to open one of the restricted forms a Generic Microsoft Access Message Box opens. Am I able to customise this box so that the box Heading is not "Microsoft Access" and so that the user is not offered the option of "Help"?
Really all I want is a box that says;
"You do not have the permission to open this form."
I only want an "Ok" box as an option (not the "Help" box as well)
Any help would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Ok...I've looked at old threads and now I'm more confused than before.
I'm trying to find a way to make my field "PCRTrackingNumber", work like this: 05-0001...05-0002...05-0003...and so on. The 05 represents the year. I currently have the field setup as autonumber, set to Long Integer and increment. Even if it looked like 05-1...05-2...05-3...etc. that would be fine. Basically just looking for a way to add "05-" to the prefix.
I was trying to think of a way to combine a field to the autonumber field and use that instead...but need some help.
Thanks, Jeff

Greetings.
I am pulling my hair out trying to create a customized menu bar. Eventually, I want to have a customized menu bar and tool bar for report and different customized menu bar and tool bar for forms. I created the tool bar for the report window. Then when I tried to create a new menu bar I could not remove menu selections without removing the same menu selections from the default Menu Bar.
I selected View->Toolbars->Customize...
Then I clicked on New (command button)
Then I named it (RptMenuBar)
Then I selected 'Built-In Menus' from the Commands Tab
Then I dragged the 'File' from the Command list into the new Menu Bar
Then I went to the new menu bar and dropped down the selections under File and started to left click and drag what I didn't in the NEW MENU BAR. However, it turns out when I did that the same selections were removed from the default Menu Bar.
I was ablel to restore the default Menu Bar. But I want to have a customized Menu Bar and be able to select that new Menu Bar and associate it with every Report that is in my Database.
Any ideas? If you have some good instructional references, please point me in that direction. Thanks.

Hello,
I am a beginner and know a little about access. I am trying to create a customized Primary Key with an auto number. I want it to look like this: VP001 ,next record, VP002 and so forth. When I enter a new record and want it to do this automatically. It could be VP1, then VP2, I don't need the extra zeros but it would be nice. I don't know how to do this. If someone could please help walk me through this. Remember I am a beginner with databases and need help.
I would appreciate it
Thanks

I have designed an Access database with a certain table called EmailAlerts.
This table has two fields: EmailMessage and Recipients.
The EmailMessage field stores the body of the mail to be sent to the corresponding email addresses in Recipients. E.g.:
EmailMessage | Recepients
Hello | abc@xyz.com
Goodbye | pqr@xyz.com
Now what I want to do is, whenever a record is added to this table, I want to send the email to the corresponding recipient. How can I do this?

I'm just trying to implement a "customised error message" that will pop-up if data is entered and it's invalid. (I've created a "query" and a "search" form which these two link together).

What would be the best way to store data in a database that could change but without effecting previous linked records?
Let me try & explain a little better.
I have a table that lists materials with the cost price & sell price of each item
When I use that info to create a record I will only store the id no that the material is related to then link the cost fields to display the prices without storing the data again.
The problem I face is that in the future if any of the costs are changed in the main table then all linked records will also show the new amounts.
what's the best way around this?
Do I simply store the actual costs in the records when they are created allowing only the current costs to be used ?

I want the program to input an entry for every item with a value ranging from 1-300, according to sales data, according to the associated style.
I have to sort large amounts of Data and format them into a way I can deal with it.
I get two inventory lists twice a week from 16 stores.
I sort this data in two ways.
I do this by comparing an inventory list to a list of 300 of the best selling styles.
Currently, I input one list of inventory data in excel and then organize the items manually and respectively to sales data list in columns. Top 25 styles, 50, 100, 200, 300.
When I am finished, I have a certain amount of items in the top 25 styles, a certain amount in top 50, and so on. I color code the columns and write down the quantities and percentage of each category in the list..
if this is still confusing:
I have two tables.
one has the style numbers of which several items are in the category of a style number.
and one is the list I want to sort the previous list by. It has 300 styles that sold the best. they are rated from 1 to 300.
I want to organize all my items in each list by the 300 style list.
I have to do this twice a week, for 16 stores, for two separate reports.
ongoing basis.
is there a way of having the program do the numbers for me?
I am entering the data in excel physically . Is it possible to do this another way?
I am trying to sort the sales data sheet INTO the columns I have set up AND according to the styles that each piece of data has in common.

Hi everyone,
What is the best solution to deal with different currencies in an Access Application? After creating a table that includes currencies codes I want to use them in the form to present and calculate prices.
After choosing the currency from a combobox, the price field must be presented in numeric values with the chosen currency code.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

I have a database that has the basic tables of products, accounts and orders.
I need to figure out how to deal with returns.
Do I create a separate table and link that to the orders table for returns?
I haven't made such a large database file so I was curious if anyone had any information on how to lead me in the right direction. Or if there were any examples. (I've looked around but haven't completely figured out the best way to handle this.)
Thanks!

I have several Suppliers, each of whom holds several SalesEvents. At each SalesEvent I might buy none, one or more Bundles. Each Bundle then contains one or more Items. These relationships are all reflected in my Access 2013 desktop db as one-many relationships with cascaded updates.
My form structure for data entry reflects the Relationships, in that I have a Supplier form with a SalesEvents subform. On that subform I can enter data about each of that Supplier's SalesEvents, and each SalesEvent row has a button to call up a SalesEvent form which has a Bundles subform. Then each row of that subform has a button which calls up a Bundle form containing an Items subform. That Bundle form identifies the Supplier, Sales Event and Bundle number, and within its Items subform I can then enter the data for each Item.
Problem : All used to work fine, but I've clearly changed something because now when I select the Items button on the Items subform in the Bundle form, the system gives me the data for the first record in the SalesEvents table, rather than the one selected. I have checked the raw data and that's as it should be. I have tried to undo all the steps I took since it last worked properly, but to no avail. Restoring the last backup (taken when I'm sure it worked properly) still has the problem.how do I find what data is actually being passed between forms and subforms ?

I have a database that keeps track of training hours for each employee. The Training Length is formated as Short Time. I just figured out that short time can only go up to 23:59:59. Some of my trainings will be over that. Does anyone know a way to get around other than splitting up my hours and Mins in the table?

I am using the following to extract date information from a text field as part of a query.
Narrr_Date:CDate(Left(Mid([si_narr_t],Instr([si_narr_t]," ")+1), Instr(Mid([si_narr_t],Instr([si_narr_t]," ")+1)," ")-1))
Due to users not putting the correct information in I will get the #Error in the results of the query.
I need to do a DateDiff on the results so I need to get rid of any values that come up with #Error.
Since I cannot ensure the date extracted by the query is correct, how do I deal with the error?

Setup
i have a form (frmCustomers) with a subform (sfrmJobs). As you might have guessed, it keeps track of customers and jobs. One customer may have many jobs. within sfrmJobs are about 300 or so controls for about 300 or so fields (mostly yes/no boxes) and at the moment contains two subforms of its own. customers have an autonumber CustomerID and jobs have a user-entered numeric JobID.
Goal
it has been brought to my attention that some jobs may just not work out and must be deemed as "cancelled." however, my client wishes to retain these records rather than delete them. in order to maintain the integrity of the reports, i would like to remove these records from the non-cancelled customer database and place them elsewhere, but still retain the ability to review them if need be (but NOT to modify them).
Problem
the job can be cancelled at any point down the line, meaning that a job could have nearly no info or nearly all the info, and everything in between. each job record has a ton of fields. i don't know how to cut and paste an entire record (except for doing it field by field, which could take forever in this instance) into a new table. in this case, it would be several records, since i have a list of materials pertinent to each job as well as a list of services necessary for each job - all of which would have to be removed and placed elsewhere.
Cry for Help
what is the best way to go about this? some ideas i had were creating a parallel table for each table used in recording all of the job information and just manually (well, via VBA and recordsets) copying, pasting, then deleting. another is creating a checkbox that when clicked disables every control for the cancelled job (but oy vey that's a lot of controls to code the disabling for) and then have it reflected in my reports that these are only from the NON-cancelled jobs. does anyone else have an idea?
help?
thanks in advance

Hello all,
Ok, let's see if i can explain this so that anyone trying help can understand. I have a form that's unbound (Music) with a subform (Arist Info)that is bound. The subform also contains two other Subforms (bound). The subform (Artist Info) contains a few Macros set up to do
some general searches with some Option groups and also one cmb box with vb code that access wizard wrote up. They all work great, with no problems at all when I open up the subform all by itself. It's when Main form is open where i run into some glitches. In then option groups all tgl & radio buttons work with exception to the two named ALL. I get a ballon message stating There is no field named
'GenreGroup or AlphaGroup' in the current record. Genre and AlphaGroup are the names of the option groups. The cmb box dosen't even work at all. There ars some other problems also but i'll ask for help later if i can reslove this. LOL I've attached a bare bone sample db to look at. I thought I was doing great learning new things every day, till I ran into this one.
Thanks for your help

I have a database that was populated using many excel sheets and one of the fields [partDescription] uses the # character over and over to represent "lbs". I realize that this is a wild card for digits in VB. Is there a quick fix for finding and replacing this character?

Hello...
I created a button that opens a link to a URL and copies information from a record to the clipboard to paste on this webpage.
The users are not using it correctly (they need to close the page each time they need to do the next record).
what i want to do is to close ALL IExplore windows via access if there are any open then open the URL again. Sounds pointless but we have to close it because of security.
Thanks.

I have a database with student information that contains tables about their dissertation and graduation information. There is a field "academic year" noting their graduation year. I have a form for data entry that my data entry person likes to use in datasheet view. The form is based on a query that contains only current academic year records. When a new academic year arrives, I plan to create a new query for the form to feed from. i.e., "hiding" past academic year records on the form in datasheet view.
