I am using Access 2007. I have had an application running now for about 1 year and now getting an error when user opens the database. (Have one for front end and one db for backend)
Here's the error message:The form name Switchboard is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist.Also, multiple users are accessing the database at the same time.
I have developed a project in Access 2003 and it works absolutely fine. There is a switchboard form too and that works fine as well. But now in our company we are moving all the projects developed in 2003 to 2010. And so I have noticed the switchboard form doesn't work in Access 2010 the way it works in 2003. The Switchboard form doesn't display all the options in 2010.

I have just updated the replica set after adding a couple of new fields to the system.
The replica will not now open.
I will paraphrase as: the form name GTA Query is missspelled or refers to a form which does not exist.
The form exists, so clearly I have made a boob somewhere, but none of the new fields I have entered refer to the form "GTA Query".
I have gone through the code line by line but can not find any missspelled occurences.
For grins, I have spent a day carrying out a global change and replaced all "GTA Query" references to "GTA Form".
I created a replica and got the same error when I tried to open it. Can't find any references left to "GTA Query" so I am puzzled.
I'm using the following code to autofill the city and state on my form.
I can't figure out how to capture if there is no matching record in the table.
If there is no matching record, I will:
1) inform the user with a msgbox
then if the user wants
2) open a form to add the record to the table
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("tblZipcodes", dbOpenTable)
rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst
Do Until rst.EOF
If strZipLookup = rst!ZipCode Then
Me.txtCoCity = rst![ZipCity]
Me.cboCoSt = rst![ZipState]
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
rst.Close
End If
How can I capture if there is no matching record in the table?
Thanks,
Sup
I have a form with more records lines. For each record I have a button what will open a specific file if exist.
Dim strFoldername As String
strFoldername = Me.Scan
If Dir("M:Applications AccessCredit autorisationsDocuments" & strFoldername, vbDirectory) = "" Then
MsgBox "Missing document"
Else
FollowHyperlink "M:Applications AccessCredit autorisationsDocuments" & strFoldername
End If
To verify if the file exist, instate to press the button, I like to indicate on a new field [Ctrl_Doc], the presence of respective file. (Ex: True or False). I tried this, but doesnt work:
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Len(Dir("M:Applications AccessCredit autorisationsDocuments" & strFoldername, vbDirectory) >0) Then
[Ctrl_Doc]= True
Else
[Ctrl_Doc]= False
End If
I have a training database with multiple courses. Certain staff do course1 and thereafter course2. Course1 is only done once and course2 is a refresher done annually. I want the query to find staff that have done course2 but not course1.

"Field 'F1' doesn't exist in destination table 'tablename.'"
I hate this error message.
I am using the following command to load data from an excel spreadsheet into a backend SQL Server database via an .adp:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel7, sTempTable, strFileName, False, "A2:B4000"
I have purposely used "False" to ensure that the first line in my spreadsheet is ignored. This is because the first line in my spreadsheet contains headings that do not match the column names in my table.
I do not wish to change my headings as end users will be making use of my application and they will not like headings such as "int_FactoryID". Likewise I do not want to change the column names in my table to words such as "Factory ID" as this would be a bad naming convention.
Is there a way to use TransferSpreadsheet without necessarily matching the headings in the spreadsheet to the column headings?
Is there a way for TransferSpreadsheet to ignore the headings and assume that the first column in the spreadsheet needs to go to the first column in my SQL Server table?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a parent form which has a yes/no checkbox in the form's record source. Then in that parent form I have a sub-form. If NO records exist in the sub-form I want the checkbox to be UN checked. If records DO exist in the sub-form, I want the checkbox to be CHECKED.
But I want this to happen as records are added or deleted from the sub-form. In other words, if the parent form is opened and no records exist in the subform then the checkbox should be unchecked. But as soon as the first record has been entered in the subform, the checkbox on the parent form should be checked. Likewise, as soon as the last record has been revoved from the sub-form, the checkbox on the parent form should be unchecked.
What code do I need to accomplish all of this?
Was trying to append an Excel 97-2003 spreadsheet to an existing Access 2010 database.
The last field in the spreadsheet is Date Update.
When I click 'Finish' I get the error "Field Date Update doesn't exist in destination table <name of table>.
This database was created in Access 2003, and was not updated since and I don't have Access 2003 on my destop.
I saved the Excel Spread as a Excel Workbook *.xlsx and tried to append it. Same Error was the result.
I have a main form that opens on an autoexec macro.When ever i open up the database the form opens but for some reason it always opens a little way down the page so that you cant see the top and have to scroll back up to the top.
This is rather annoying because i have a tab control and it means you cant click the tabs until you move it back up.
We work with Access 2003 and on like 5 out of the 30 machines this problem occurs. When you open a form it sometimes does not open to the foreground, when u alt-tab out of it and go back or just press the windows key en then back on access it seems to refresh the page and showing the one that you have opened.
The weird thing about this is that it seems completely random at which forms and at what time it happens. I have encountered this problem on my own machine maybe 2-3 times in 3 months. The 2 other machines encounter this problem daily.
I have noticed that when I changed the Windows scheme to Classic view the problem occurred a lot less then before. We first thought it had something to do with the speed, but since we moved our database to SQL Server and our application runs very smoothly this problem was still there.
I'm getting error 2391 field 'f1' doesn't exist in destination table

I've got a single form ("Lead Data") that has Cascading Combo boxes that work perfectly, entering data into "tblLeadData":cboMatterTypeIDcboMatterIDcboAttyIDcboPlglID Attorney & Paralegal are the people assigned to the Matter. My problem is in finding a way to allow a specific Attorney or Paralegal to filter for only his or her records. I made a query of tblLeadData that works perfectly as a query, but when I use it as a filter in an "on click" macro event, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because of the cascading combos, because I've successfully used this kind of query based macro filter in the past.
Okay, more on how it is set up. The same people are always assigned to a specific matter, so when you pull down the Atty & Plgl combo boxes, there's only one person. So it isn't a true Parent/Child relationship, but it's working. And there were two advantages of this set up over an autopopulate set up (which I considered): 1) When I change something in the reference tables (refAtty and refPlgl), it also changes in tblLeadData & 2) in case there's an exception to the usual assignment pattern, we can just leave Atty & Plgl blank and put the correct assignment in a text box called "AssignmentNotes."
So my query of tblLeadData that works, qryLeadDataAssign, uses the following fields:
tblLeadData.AttyID
refAtty.Atty
tblLeadData.PlglID
refPlgl.Plgl
tblLeadData.AssignmentNote
Expr1: [Atty] & " " & [Plgl] & " " & [LeadAssignmentNotes]Criteria: Like "*" & [Who?] & "*"
The Join Properties in the query between tblLeadData and refAtty is set to "2: Include ALL records from 'tblLeadData' and only those records from refAtty" where the joined fields are equal." And the same for Plgl.
When I run the query, it asks me a single time, "Who?", I put in the name and it pulls up all instances of the name from any of the 3 fields. It acts as a "contains" filter, not an "equals" one.
As for my cascading combos, here are the settingsMatterTypeIDRow Source:
SELECT refMatterType.MatterTypeID, refMatterType.MatterType, refMatterType.[MatterType] FROM refMatterType ORDER BY refMatterType.[MatterType]; On Change Event:Me.cboMatter.Requery
MatterIDRow Source: SELECT tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter FROM tblMatter WHERE (((tblMatter.MatterTypeID)=[Forms].[LeadData].[cboMattertype])) GROUP BY tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter, tblMatter.Matter ORDER BY tblMatter.Matter;
On Change Event:Me.cboAtty.Requery
[Code] ....
I put a button on the form and put an embedded macro as an "On Click" event. The macro is an "ApplyFilter" and the filter name is qryLeadDataAssign. When I click on the button, I am asked to enter
data 3 times:Enter Parameter Value: Atty
Enter Parameter Value: Plgl
Enter Parameter Value: Who?
Clearly, the expression in the query doesn't function in the button. And the result, no matter what I put in, is that all of the records are still there, although the filtered button is activated.
I tried putting the expression from the query into the macro builder window, but I for sure don't know what I'm doing there and haven't been able to make it work.
I'm running into an issue with my forms. I have a form that contains a subform, that contains a list of projects. This list is read-only. To update a record, you can double click on it, which opens another form filtered on this record, and which contains the fields in the first form as well as some others.
I have a command button on that last form to "Save and close", which fires up a macro that saves the record and closes the window.
Now, the issue that I'm having is that, when the window closes and I'm once again in front of the first form with the list of projects, the values of the record I changed are not updated and when I click on another record, Access tells me there's a conflict in the values and asks me if I want to keep the changes, discard them or copy to the clipboard.
It seems to consider the old values from the first form as a change, and thus asks me which to keep between these, and the actual (proper) changes I made in the dedicated form.
For the proper changes to be applied, I need to select "Drop changes".
I tried to requery the first form, also undo the changes to it after closing the window, but none of that worked.
I'm actually basing this on one of the templates, which does exactly what I want and which obviously works...
I know stupid question. When I open my database I want the switchboard to open automatically, but it doesn't. What do I do to fix this?

Have created a form to display/change table info in Datasheet View and added the form to a switchboard.When selected from switchboard, it displays a single record. When executed from the Forms (objects), it displays in Datasheet view.? How can I get it to display in Datasheet View from Switchboard?
Default view = Datasheet
Allow Form View = Yes
Allow Datasheet View = Yes
I have a table which holds information relating to a fleet of vehicles; each of these vehicles is currently physically checked on a daily basis for a number of items, one of which being to check that the vehicle has valid VED (tax disc).
With the paper disc being abolished now, we have a situation where the individual using the vehicle cannot be certain about its VED status (the chances of one not being taxed is next to nil, but we are talking a fleet of nearly 1000 vehicles here, so anything is possible)
Our current database has most of the vehicle information stored already, so in theory I think I only need to add a couple of fields, which will make the table structure (roughly):
FleetID
RegistrationNumber
CallSign
MobileTelNo
MOTExpiry
VEDExpiry
With the latter two being the added fields.
Now, what I was wondering.....
Is it possible that when a Form (not related to the table, and most likely the main switchboard form) is opened that both the MOTExpiry and VEDExpiry dates are checked, and if either or both of them are due to expire within 7 days or have already expired that a warning appears (vbaOKOnly messagebox would do fine) stating that there are vehicles that require their MOT & VED dates to be checked and updated accordingly)?
I created a small database with a user login form, along with a password reset form. Running it in my sandbox as an accdr file, the password value resets just fine, but on my test machine with the Access 2010 runtime installed, the password reset form doesn't reset the password. I will try to describe the state of things as of this point.
1. The LoginF presents with a combo box for the user to choose their name, and a text box to enter their password. The code below is on the After Update of the password text box.
Code:
Private Sub txtPassword_AfterUpdate()
'Check if user has been chosen
If IsNull(Me.cboUser) Then
MsgBox "Please Select User Initials", vbInformation, "Warning"
[Code] ....
2. The password reset form has two text boxes for the new password and to re-enter the same, as well as a command button with this code.
Code:
Private Sub cmdResetPassword_Click()
If Me.Password = Me.PasswordTest And Len(Me.Password) & "" > 0 Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "LoginF"
[Code] ....
As I say, this works as an accdr file, but not in the actual runtime environment.
Hi,
Does anyone know if I can just show the switchboard only so that it looks like a program, or if I can use an existing MDB to create an .exe??
I have a large table which is updated everyday. Each record will have a different date but there will be many with the same account number. I have a query which will pull one record from each account number according to a user specified start date, another query which will pull by end date, and a third query which uses both to do a calculation on another field. The problem is, if one of the first two queries does not find a record with that date then the calculation will not be done because there is no record. What I need is a way to go back one day if the specified date does not exist. I have tried using an iif statement in a report with the DateAdd function in the true part. Here is what I have
IIf([blinks_test_end]![Reading_Date]=Null,DateAdd("d",-1,[blinks_test_end]![Reading_Date]),[blinks_test_end]![Reading_Date])
[blinks_test_end]![Reading_Date] is the user specified date. When I run the report it asks for blinks_test_end, I think it doesn't recognize that this is the user specified date.
I created a form in "design view" and everything is there, but when I go to "Form view" it is just blank!

I have to rethink and change the way of display in my form.
I have a form bound to ID.
I want to show 2 fields if they contain data, otherwise hide them
How do you do that?

What could cause certain records to not be searchable when performing a search?
I have created a pretty simple Search Form that I can look up a record by a Job#, Phone#, or Name. It populates a list of record(s) on the bottom pane using a split-form.
The issue that I have recently discovered is that some records are not showing up when searched, though the record does exist. I can find the record by manually going to a record in the database that is close to the one I’m looking for and then using the previous and next record button to view the record I want.
So if a record exist and has the relevant data for the field that is being searched, why would it not find it? Using the default search built into Access on the bottom record bar, I can find the record using the search criteria I mentioned above.
I also have the Search Form set that if no search criteria is entered, it will display ALL records. Even with all the records shown, these few records do not show up.
Could these few records have a feature or setting that is disabled that needs changed? If so, what to look for at this point.
I have an application written in Access 2007 and packaged using the Packaging Solutions for deployment with Runtime.My problem is that I've written an updated version, and after carefully saving my original Back End away from the install site, uninstalling Runtime and the FE, installing the new FE with a blank copy of the BE having the same name and Runtime, and copying the filled BE into the same folder with the FE (replacing the linked, but empty, BE) I find that SOME of my tables in the BE are not being recognized. This isn't true of all tables. I can open some of the forms and find everything there. In other cases I get the following error message "The record source "tblName" specified on this form or report does not exist."
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write some Code with the target to take a value from a textbox (out of a form) and a pregiven value (in this case = 2) and enter them in a new record in a table. But only if there is not already a record with the exact same combination of these to values. When done, the same button should proceed you to the next form (but this code is not already implemented in the fragment below) even if no values are added because they already exist in this combination.
Code:
Public Function GetID_PatientStudiesGroup&()
GetID_PatientStudiesGroup = [Forms]![frm_PatientStudiesGroupTZP]![ID_PatientStudiesGroup]
End Function
Private Sub BPRS_T1_Button_Click()
Call GetID_PatientStudiesGroup&
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] ....
As you can see, I tried to use a function to refer to the value out of the form, because I didn't find out how to refer to a form in an SQL Code.
Just to give you a better overview: The table where the information should be added is named "tbl_PatientStudiesGroupTZP". The form where you find the Textbox "ID_PatientStudiesGroup" (with the value I need to transport) is named "frm_PatientStudiesGroupTZP". Every part (except the WHERE NOT EXISTS part) worked perfectly for itself, but not when thrown together.
I want to check if data entered in a form field is existed
The form is bounded to a table
I used this code
If DLookup("Telegram_Number", "tbl_Violation_Of_Building", "Telegram_Number Like " & Forms!frm_Add_Violation_Building!Telegram_Number) Then
MsgBox ("number existed")
Me.Telegram_Number = ""
Else
End If
everything is ok but if the data is existed the database show the message and clear the field but i'm getting a Run-time error
'-2147352567(80020009)': the macro or function set to the beforeupdate or validationRule property for this field is preventing [ISF] from saving the data in the field
I guess the problem because the form is bounded to a table so he will save automatically
My solution is to unbound the fields and save the data via vba but is there any solution with a bounded form???
