All, using 2010. I have a database that is split into FE and BE. The FE is on users desktop. The supervisor wants to give limit access to the database to one other user on the network without giving them access to the entire db. There is not an user table in the database or a login form at the moment. So what can I do to provide limited access to only one form?
I have database that i am working on , i want to give a user a time limited accsess ( one week ) to the reports section for example !!
after a certain date he will require a password or the report button will be inactive ...
-at program start up , it will check for today's date if it is greater or equal to (lets say ) 24-9-2013 then it will change a field in an X table from "yes" to "no" ,
-after that the code will check table X for the yes no field , if yes then open Form A if no then open form B / or make report button inactive
how to do that in VB ... and is there is a better way to do it ? can it be done in the macro builder ?
One shows my form with the Transporters Subform with 3 entries, and 1 entry.The three line items that say "Transporter" are in one subform. I used this code
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 Then Me.AllowAdditions = False End If End Sub
to limit the number of records I can add to 3 or less.My issue is that I lost the blank text box that allows you to add another record. So, if I only have one Transporter listed, there's no box to let me add a second or third.I have the following properties for the Transporters Subform set to "Yes":
Data Entry Allow Additions Allow Deletions Allow Edits Allow Filters
I have created a query using the query builder by concatenationg several fields using the expression builder. Once concatenated, the total number of characters is greater than 255, and is therefore truncated. Since this is a query field and not a table field, there must be a way around this limitation. I can't even create the query and dump the results into a memo field because the dump will still only contain 255 char.
I could probably create the query using VBA, which creates a table containg a memo field, which is then populated by a variable containing the concatenated fields, but I would like a simpler solution.
Any ideas on how I can generate a query field that contains more than 255 char? The query is used to populate a report.
In importing data from Excel 2002 to Access 2000, I have several columns of text data that has more than 255 characters; however, importing into Access does not give me the option to redefine those data fields from "Text" to "Memo". As a result, Access truncates the data to 255 characters.
Is there anyway to work around this issue by still using the Excel file? I have saved the Excel file as an HTML file and this seems to work, but it is an extra step that I would like to avoid.
Alright, I'm trying to read and parse a file that'll be outputted monthly by another system that i cannot change (csv would be my prefered choice) so i'll havta deal with what i got. I'm not entirely sure how to go about this, but my intent is to have a form in my database for a user to bring up a open "*.txt" which is a width limited text file. the other system outs puts this file with a header like the following:
Date: 06-08-06 [08:53] recdate4) Receipts by order, position and sequence Page: 1 CFM Production Company Comp: 100
Sorry about the ugly post of the outputted file, but it is width limited by 255 characters and has verticle bars and spaces sepearating the fields i want. I want to ignore the headings. in addition the column titles since i will already know where they're going to go (hard coding it). can someone explain how to parse line by line as a new record in access db?
Hi I am a noob and I'm having problems performing a particuler form.
I need a form that will auto-increment records as they are ented from 1 to 20 but once I have receached 20 I need it to start over at 1. So no record will have a higher number than 20 in this particular field.
I have a query that returns a set of records which details stock items that are older than a date given in a form. However i need to limit the results to the number of items held in stock i.e say i want to look at stock over 1 year old, i get a list of all the stockids, and the date added. Say there is a stock level of 3 for a particular stockid the results should be limited to the first 3 records that are over 1 year old. Rather than the whole list of dates I get now.
Any help or direction with searching terms would be appreciated
I was wondering, in a form (to add records in the Table) with a date field, can I limit that field to only previous dates. This will reduce errors in the table, no future dates anymore.
Hello, On a form I have a way to search for a record by using a listbox that has a Distinct Row Query from the table that the main table that the form is bound to. It looks for the Sample ID's that are associated with the samples that we test. The list ends at record 87877. We are WAY past that number in our numbering scheme but the list box does not display all the records. When the users type anything over 87877 the auto complete doesn't work and the last record shown in the list is 87877. Does anyone have any idea how to make all records show? The users use this to navigate quickly between samples but now it is broken. Is there some sort of limit? Thanks Greg
Hi, I am in need of help to sort out some records. I have tow existing queries I would like to combine and get one final set of records out of. They go like this:
Query 1. (unique #) Lot Protocol Sample # 1 mth 2 mth 3 mth X ABC 1 x x (check Y ACD 2 x x boxes)
Query 2. (unique #) Lot Protocol Sample # 1 mth 2 mth 3 mth X ABC 1 8/8/05 9/8/05 10/8/05 (query Y ACD 2 8/8/05 9/8/05 10/8/05 performs calculations)
What I am looking to retrive through the third query is this:
Query 3. (unique #) Lot Protocol Sample # 1 mth 2 mth 3 mth X ABC 1 8/8/05 9/8/05 Y ACD 2 8/8/05 10/8/05
Where the third query only shows the calculated dates when the check box is true. So for month 1 & 2 I get dates for Lot X and for Lot Y I get dates for month 1 & 3. I have tried to go through the expression builder, but to no avail. I either get all records, like query 2 or I get nothing reported. I am not sure how to limit the records based on the check boxes.
I'm using Access 2000 and want to filter the datas in a form based on a query. The query written as an SQL string has already a length of about 2000 characters. Now I want to filter this datas with information I get from a combo-box, and changed the RecordSource with additional statements in the WHERE part. Therefore the new RecordSource information can exceed the 2048 characters.
So I thought to use the filter-argument of the form instead. But the problem I have now is, that I would have to use "((First(T_Softwareversion.Softwareversionsname))>='B14')" as part of the filter argument. With using this I get the runtime error 3096. Using this as part of the WHERE part in the RecordSource works, but it works not using it in the filter argument.
Does anyone know a workaround for the first or the second problem?
We have created a database where data entry happens on the first form. So far all is working well on this form except users complain there is not enough space for comments. I set up a column for comments, but it is limited to 255 characters. What/How else can I set this up to provide a lot more room?
As you 'll see my files, have one report into my database and i need to print it like in the SHEET SAMPLE Word document. My problem is how can I force the record excess, for example the 10 at the footer to print "In tranfer" with the sub total in previous! and in the next page to print the continuous sub total (From transfer) at the place of the 11th record meaning the first row on the detail of report and to continue on the last page to print in the last row the grand total (TOTAL).2nd problem is when the record for example is 2 to continue to print blank row to the last one and print the grand total (TOTAL).
P.S.1 I have posted it and the original sheet as it must be on print in, Excel file and it is important to print it with gridlines.
P.S.2 As you try to open the database please ignore the message saying the start form is missing
I have a database for scheduling students' for tests. They can take up to six tests in a day. There are about 80 different tests that they can take.
In my table, I created columns titled Test1, Test2, Test3, etc. They are lookup columns and I chose to enter my own values, putting in the tests titles for the values in each column.
When I add these drop-down lookup fields onto the form, it will only display 37 of these values. When I go back to the table and select "edit list items," it shows that it did cut the list off at 37, even though originally it allowed me to enter all 80-ish titles.
Anyway. It appears that there are limited values you can have in a lookup column, though after doing a lot of searching online I can't find anything to indicate that is true.
It seems to me that it would be smarter to set this up with two different tables, storing the reg info in one table and the test titles in another table. However, I am having a hard time figuring out the relationship aspect of this solution and how to make it pull up the correct values for queries/reports as well.
I have an access form with tab control pages each with embedded forms.In one page I have a list of records as a datasheet form with the record identifier field configured as a hyperlink. When I click on this it passes its value to a form field in the form in the following tab page (works without the hyperlink but its a useful way of highlighting which field to click) which is a display/edit form of the details of the individual record. The Subroutine which does this sets the focus on this field it is passing the value to on the other form and the 'On Got Focus' event in that triggers the query that fills the editor form.
When I click back on the following tab to select another record to view/edit, the identifier value of the other record is passed to the other form but the data displayed in the rest form doesn't change. I understand this is because the field with the 'On Got Focus' never lost focus and so the query function was not called. To correct this I tried adding the same function call to the 'On Change' event however this does not work (the field is a text box set to 'locked' if that is relevant).I can get the form to do a new query properly if I click on a different field in the form before going back to the list tab or (as this is removing the focus allowing the On Got Focus to work again) if I click on a button to select a different record (which just takes me back to the list form).
Is there any way I can get this to work without having to manually remove the focus from the problem field? I have tried setting its On Got Focus event to move the focus to another field after the query function call however this prevents the Setfocus line in the code in the previous form from working. Here is a snippet of my code below.This code is for the list form and passes a value to the editing form:
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs) DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3" End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
I have a Lost/Found property database which we use to keep record of the lost/found property and it is working fine.
As per our organization's policy, we keep the item(s) for up to three months in which if it gets restored to the owner then fair enough otherwise after three months the item(s) can be claimed by the "Finder". But for this very purpose we issue the Finder with a "Claim Receipt" which he/she should bring in when claiming for the item(s) after three months period. Therefore, It's just the right time to upgrade the database to a more professional level.
The database has one table and two forms.
One form (LostFoundForm) is visible to the user in which they enter data, this form has two sections; Item(s) & Finder's details and the second section is about Restoring details.
However the second form (ClaimReceiptForm) is hidden to the users (for manual data entry) and has only one section which is exactly the same as the first form's first section, i.e., Item(s) & Finder's details. This second form takes the data automatically from the first form because the table behind them is same and fields are same (please see attachment). Up to here it's all working fine.
I would like to introduce a Checkbox or a CommandButton in the LostFoundForm which when we click should pull up a msgbox asking "Do you want to print the receipt for this item(s)?" with a Yes/No option. On clicking "No" it should, obviously, settle down but on clicking "Yes" it should print the "corresponding record" from the ClaimReceiptForm.
I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.
How to make application such that only a form is opened (not as a tab in access) just like pop up feature of a form. i have only one form in my application...
