When side scrolling from left to right in the query window or on tables, once I start moving to the right, all the text in the fields becomes distorted and unreadable. I have to sit and wait and move my mouse slightly for it to clear up.Is this some graphics acceleration setting, or just a flaw with Access?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a text box, I have pasted this into the control source:

However, I get a Method or data member not found error when i click the button?
i have got a query that returns the top 100 results. i would like to link this to my report form where i have a text box that you can enter a number and the query returns the first of that ammount rather than going into the query everytime to adjust the results.the sql of the query is as follows
PHP Code:
SELECT TOP 100 tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.Surname, Sum(tblOrdersItems.Cost)Â
AS SumOfCostFROM (tblClientDetails INNER JOIN tblOrders ON tblClientDetails.ClientDetailsID = tblOrders.ClientDetailsID)
INNER JOIN tblOrdersItems ON tblOrders.OrderID = tblOrdersItems.OrderIDWHERE (((tblOrders.OrderDate)>DateAdd('yyyy',-1,Date())))
GROUP BY tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.SurnameORDER BY Sum(tblOrdersItems.Cost) DESC;Â
The items in my database:
Form - Customer_Data
Form - ConsignmentGuide
Query - Customer_Data Query
Text Field - GBL
Text Field - Text89
Text89 is using an Expr from query
Expr6: Left([GBL],4)
What happens is Expr6 will take the first 4 Letters of GBL. I want to double click GBL an bring up the ConsignmentGuide based on Text89.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ConsignmentGuide", , , "Text89='" & Me.Expr6 & "'"
My problem is when I do this I get a pop up asking for a Parameter Value. but there is text in Text89. How to I get a round the Parameter Value box coming up an automatically do this. If I type the first four letters in to the Parameter Value it finds it on Consignment Guide.
Wonder whether anyone can help me?
Each day I produce reports from access and email then out using the snapshot viewer format. The majority of recipients open this find and the report is absolutely fine, however, when other recipients open the report it comes out all slanted and blurred. It almost looks like there snapshot viewer is squashing a landscape report into a portrait view. Does anyone know how to correct this, as its driving me mad trying to find an answer?
thanks:)
Just wondering can anyone help me please. I am only a learner with access so please go easy. :)
I am using access 2000.
Problem:
I have worked out from a lot of help from this forum how to put a cmd Button on my form to call the dialog window and store a file path in one of my text fields called “imagelinks” I can then view the image on a subform. I have two buttons one to insert a new image and another to delete the image. So far so good. Now I want to put another button on the form to preview the image with the default image browser. Can this be done so that if I gave a copy of the database to my friend and he has a different image browser the image can still be viewed by the click of that button.
I hope I have explained the above so it can be understood. :confused: myself.
Thanks in advance.

In my VBA (access 2003) project, Im struggling to open a pdf file using Adobe viewer/Reader. Is it possible ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am able to successfully export data from an Access 2010 Query to a Tab Delimited Text file without difficulty.My problem is that the Query includes several 'tick boxes'. The resulting text file shows the text boxes as 1 or 0 as appropriate. What I actually require is a Y/N result.To achieve the required Y/N result requires some fiddly find and replace editing which is complicated by the fact that the query also contains telephone numbers incorporating 1 & 0, This then requires further editing of individual records to convert misplaced Y/N back to 1/0. Is their any way that one can force the export to convert text boxes to Y/N rather than 1/0.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIf I have a Query, and I want to list the sum of one of the columns of that query in another text box on a form, is this the correct way of doing it?
=Sum([Drivers Other Shifts].[Duration])
In this case, "Drivers Other Shifts" is the name of the Query, and "Duration" is the column header. When I try this I get #ERROR, so if it's just that something else is wrong, or that my expression is the wrong way to go about it...
I have a DB with about 50 tables. I have arranged them in a particular order in the relationship viewer and would like to print out as much of the viewer as I can by choosing the paper size and/or setting a scale factor. Access does not appear to let one do either. When looking at the relationship page, the 'page setup' under File ->Pagesetup is grayed out. Selecting 'print' causes the relationships to be printed in some sort of predefined manner, on 81/2x11 pages. Is there anyway to control how this view is printed?
On a related note: When in the relationship viewer, the only way to scroll the view is by the margin slider bars (the mouse wheel does not work). SHould the mouse wheel do the verticle scrolling? Also, if I want to move two or more tables (at the same time) in this view, how can I select them?
Thanks

I'm using the Snapshot Viewer control in one of my forms to display reports within the form. This works fine, except that with multiple page reports, there is no button to change pages, users have to right click and select 'next page.' In design mode the buttons to change pages and print appear at the bottom, but for some reason they don't show up when viewing the form in form view.
Has anyone run into this issue before?
Thanks
hi
i am using a macro with the outputTo method for a report. i have the report outputed as a snapshot file. it was working fine but now when it outputs the report the extension is missing; the file is created but with no extension. i tried changing the output format to excel but the extension was still missing. i also tried renaming my output report within the macro with the extension .snp and with .xls. snapshot viewer or excel would not open these programs.
anybody else come across this problem?
any ideas?
thanks
I'm trying to concatenate two text fields into a memo field using an expression in a select query. My problem is that the text fields together end up more than 255 characters, so I need the resulting field to be a memo instead. I can't change the underlying text fields to memo fields because this is a large database used by others who need those fields to be text.
View 3 Replies View RelatedA little background. I need to export the results of a query I use to build a report. For Print Master software I need the "Field Names" in the text file as well as the data for a Mail Merge in Print Master (PM).
"The field name information in the file you have specified is missing or not correctly formatted. The first line of the file must contain the database field names. Make sure the "Export Field Names" (or similar) option is selected in the program from which you are exporting data."
Trouble is, when trying to export the report or query, Access has no "Export Field Names" option. It works if I first export to Excel and then from Excel to "txt" then to Printmaster. I would like to eliminate the Excel step. Therefore, how do or can I get Access Export to transfer the "Field Names" along with the field data?
Could anyone point me in the right direction re the Crystal Reports Active X viewer control and access forms. I loaded it onto a form in access 2000, but can't seem to find any meaningfull properties I can manipulate (especially the report source). I am thinking it works like any other active x control and I can manipulate properties through code, however, the main property I would think I need (source report) does not seem to exist. I have Crystal 10.0 loaded on my system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database that was built by some users, long before I came to my current job location (oh yes, one of those fun issues), and have run into an error that is involving a 3rd party tool, and is tough to duplicate.
There is an ocx control named "Kodak Image Thumbnail control" the path is C:winntsystem32ImgThumb32.ocx.
This is an active x control, that on the double click event, opens up the correct corresponding .pdf file. It works correct for me, on my machine. It works correctly for 3 other people on their own machines. When we had a user it worked correctly log into a user who it does not work correctly, it then worked correctly for them (appears to be user rights, and not machine specific). It does not work correctly for another 2-4 users (not sure the exact number).
But, the rights were gone over with a fine tooth comb, and nothing was found different from each user.
What is weird, is how the error occurs. There are 59 records in the database, with a linking .pdf file displayed in this .ocx control. For those users in which this does not work, the first two records open the .pdf correctly. After this (records 3 to 59) they receive the following error:
"Microsoft Access can't open the file containing the OLE object.
- You may have specified an invalid file name or an invalid unit of data (such as a range of cells from a worksheet) when the file for the OLE object.
- The file you specified may not be available because it's locked by another user or you don't have permission to use it.
Try one of the following:
- Make sure the file is available and that you used the correct file name.
- Check the OLE server's documentation for information about the syntax to use when specifiying an OLE object's data."
[OK]
Since this is a third party tool, that I have never used, and do not even have on my machine (yet it works correctly for me) I am not sure what else I can do to track down the error. I just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this error, and if so how they had fixed it.
Thank you for your time.

Im trying to display a report in the snapshot viewer object that i placed on a form, the thing is that im having a problem filtering and applying the filter fields that i used to the actual report in the window.
Im having problems referring to the object, can someone help with like the syntax. Im trying to apply the sql statement that is generated to the preview window and the report.
All help will be appreciated.,
While processing string manipulation on a table (140K records, 200-250 MB) the file has corrupted, and I lost all vba Modules, but the data and other DB objects seemed to be in tact.
I now have a query with a text field, when I make a simple join SELECT, the text comes in fine (and, of course, seems fine when presented in table), but when Group by - I get Gibarish: "CARVEDILOL 6.25MG, TABLETS"
Is presented in Group by as: "ç …5"
I have recreated the file, importing queries, including this one, but then recreated it as a totally new query, but get that same results.
File Corruption? anything to do about it?
With XP photo linked in Access would open from Access in my default photo viewer. With Win 7 they only open in EI.
How do I fix Access in Win 7 so the links open in my default photo viewer like they did in XP?
I'm having trouble with a shell() command in my vba.
I'm trying to call up the picture viewer showing the file of the photo I clicked on in a form. Everything is happening as expected - the file opens in Windows Photo Viewer, but it is minimized.
I can open a picture fine from Windows Explorer, but something about my shell command is forcing a minimize.
Here is my code:
Code:
Dim sFile As String
PicFile = "C:Pics" & Me!PicName & ".jpg"
Shell "RunDLL32.exe C:WindowsSystem32Shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen " & PicFile
I would have assumed ImageView_Fullscreen would do what I want!
I have a parameter query for looking up a specific lot number in my database. The lot number table has 4 related material tables that deal with material issued, reworked, and rejected for that lot number. They lot number table is in a one to many relationship with the related tables.
I have a report based on this parameter query with 4 subreports. I want the report to display the lot number data and sub reports to display the related data in the material tables (all linked by the lot number defined in the parameter)
I have a query that gathers information from the tables in my database and returns something like this:
Code:
Field Pest
1 Insect1
1 Insect2
1 Insect3
2 Insect1
2 Insect3
2 Insect4
Field and Pest are fields in two separate (but joined) tables. Field exists only once in its table, and multiple pests are attributed to each field. I'm looking to create a table or query in which the values would be listed as follows:
Code:
Field Pest
1 Insect1, Insect2, Insect3
2 Insect1, Insect3, Insect4
The purpose for this is to create a legend for a map used by another program based on the information gathered in the database. I do have other criteria for which fields and pests show up in this query.
I am using Access 2007 and 2010. I would like a text box (or label) on a report to autofil using fixed text from a label on a different (closed) form.
