General :: Database Freezes After Editing A Form

Aug 6, 2013

I have many forms in my database, three of which completely freeze the database if I edit the slightest thing on them. These forms are all the same, and are unique to any other type of form in my database.

An example of one of the forms is the following:

The form is an "Edit Record" form which allows the user to edit a record directly from a form without going into the table. It is only possible to bring up the edit form by going to the main navigation form that consists of various buttons which a user would press, in this case the user would press the "Edit Record" button. This brings up a unique search form that allows a user to search for a record to edit. The user types their search parameter into the form and once the "search" button is pressed it will bring up the record with all the details in a different form.

Note - The search form is linked to the table where the edit record form is linked to a query.

My problem is this:

I have three buttons on the form; Exit, Cancel & Finish Editing.

All I wanted to do was to ammend the code of the buttons so that "Finish Editing" wouldn't close the form onced pressed and that "Cancel" would simply undo the actions of the user instead of undo and then close the form.

I know exactly how to do the ammendments. But, once completed if you return to the main navigation and click on the "edit" button the search form appears and allows you to type in the search parameters, but once the "Search" button is clicked the search form closes and you are returned to the main navigation where you are unable to click anything in access or even close the programme.

General :: Can't Copy A Form When Editing The Original?

Sep 19, 2013

In A2010 I maintain a database originally created in A2003. The original version was locked down tight. In A2010 I struggled to do the same but got there in the end, as well as allowing me a back door way in.

Now I have an unexpected problem - in the object browser (or whatever it's called) on the left hand side I can no longer copy any object. EG, I want to copy a form for safe keeping while I edit the original.

Modules & VBA :: Editing Data From Database In Textbox Taken From Subform

Jul 11, 2013

In my form I have a subform, which displays A, B, C. Then information C is displayed in textbox. User should have a possibility to modify this data in order to modify data in database.

I am able to display information C in text box based on this subform. However it is uneditable, although property of enabled is yes and locked is no.

It seems to me, that it is impossible to edit data because it is taken not directly from database but from sub form, so I make special query which takes data directly from database however I lose an event which is based on selecting proper record from subform (there is only onEnter and onExit events)

MS Access Freezes Making Mde

Nov 30, 2007

Ok, so I've converted the database to 2003, split the database, compacted and repaired, but when I go to make an mde of the fe, the system "hangs" I even let it run overnight with no results. There's no error messages, nothing.... it looks like it creates a temporary database called "db1" but it never completes the conversion. Any ideas? Am I missing something simple? I have a feeling I am.

General :: Cannot Save After Editing Event Procedure With Cut / Copy And Paste

Sep 2, 2013

I have encountered several times, and now, that after using any "cut and paste" or "copy and paste" on VBA code in the event sub, even for a few words, Access does not allow me to exit when I answer 'Yes' to save the changes. It forces me to respond "No" to exit and re-enter any changes again without using copy or cut and paste.

This is very troublesome and error-prone in program development that the program statements cannot be moved or copies to another location of the program module.

I have over 30 TextBoxes and ComboBoxes on the form and about 20 pages of program code, using Access 2010 (same situation for Access 2013) on Windows7 PC with 4GB of RAM.

Access Screen Freezes Then The Forms Don't Work

Aug 9, 2005

This happened yesterday at work.

The access form froze and they could do other things but Access remained frozen. They logged off and when they went back in Access opened but none of the form buttons or links were working.

The database is not split because it is used only by one station at a time.

Has this happened to anyone and does anyone know the cause?

Five people were trying to fix it when I walked into work (5 people who no nothing about Access other than using that one database) and I couldn't get a straight answer.

Thanks
Kim

Jul 22, 2013

My issue is that one of my queries can be run, opened in SQL view, but not opened in design view. When I attempt to view in design view, Access freezes and I am forced to close the program. My database is split, FE on my local, BE on another computer on my LAN.

Below is the SQL, I tried to just copy and paste this code into a new query and I encountered the same issue.

Code:
SELECT tbl_SurveyJobs.job_number, tbl_JobTypes.job_type_description, tbl_Clients.company_name, tbl_SurveyJobs.start_date, tbl_SurveyJobs.end_date, tbl_SurveyJobs.comments, tbl_SurveyJobs.contact_notes, tbl_SurveyJobs.regplan_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.sheet_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.mplan_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.lot_block, tbl_SurveyJobs.township, tbl_SurveyJobs.concession, tbl_SurveyJobs.township_lot,

Form For Editing Only

Mar 24, 2006

I set my form in Design view to Allow Edits but not Additions, and when I switch it to (or open it in) Form view, all the combo and text boxes and buttons disappear (the background color and header are all that's left).

All I want to do is edit existing records through the combo boxes. How can I correct this?

Editing Records In A Form

Oct 25, 2005

I have a very simple form that is populating fields with records from a number of tables (not queries).

I have found that I cannot edit any of the records from the form. Almost all of these fields are NOT key fields. When I click in the field, it simply selects the text in the field, but does not allow me to alter it (typing does nothing...the cursor just blinks). The same thing happens for blank fields.

I know this is a simple question, but I can't find the answer in help or searching this forum. I know it must be a simple setting (I think) somewhere but I've tried a number of settings in properties/forms.

Thanks,

Kelly

Forms :: Editing Records Through A Form

Aug 13, 2014

Just a general query about the best approach to take for an editing form.

I want to have two separate forms, one for adding a new record (have completed this) and one for choosing and then editing a selected record.

I have seen that people use combo boxes to display a list of records with fields. This seems quite difficult to use. Maybe that's the best way though?

How do you apply an edit button to a selected record in this type of situation? I suppose really I need a box that has a list of records with a little edit button next to each one, or can I do something that launches the edit form as soon as you click on a specific record?

Editing Table Entry From Form?

Aug 27, 2015

I have a Form that is used for creating entries to fill a table. On the same Form there is also a list that shows everything in the table and a double click on the list will populate the Form with that data. The problem is that "Save Record" command button will not update the table because it thinks it is creating a new record.

The code to populate the form from the list is

Private Sub EmployeeEntryList_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Me![Number] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(0)
Me![EmployeeNumber] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(1)
Me![FirstName] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(2)
Me![MiddleInitial] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(3)
Me![LastName] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(4)
Me![Supervisor] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(5)
Me![Group] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(6)
Me![Shift] = EmployeeEntryList.Column(7)
End Sub

how I can make it populate the form if an entry is double clicked and then be able to save a modified version of that record over top the original.

General :: Opening A Form From A Form In Different Database

Aug 31, 2012

Is there a way to open a form from a form in a different database? I'm pretty sure it needs to be done in VBA and have seen some code floating around that suggests it can be done, but I'm thinking there's more to it, like maybe one or both of the DB's need to be in a different format?
