View RepliesI have some issue when i save list view data in a access table.In form I have a list box(listtotalcount) and one text box(ID). In form load event I run a query on that list box like: "SELECT count(id) FROM table A" and it gave me the correct result. Now I want to store this data on a different table (table b) and I use this code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("table b", dbOpenDynaset)
[code]....
But the problem is when I click the save button it store only id not the list box value.
How could I save a PDF report into a table (OLE object).
I want to click on a button, then that button should save the file into a table which formatted as OLE object ??
In an .ACCDE I want to store the column widths when user closes a datasheet form (or subform) so that when opening it anew, the widths are as previously set by user. I could store this data in a dedicated table ( and userID, for the multiuser db), but is there a smarter way? Some array/ dictionary/ whatever as database or form property?

What approach should I use in Access to get this? So say I have the following tables:
* Transactions
* Business Category
* Transaction-Business-Allocation (which includes)
- Transaction ID
- Business Category ID
- Percent Allocation
But in terms of the means of reviewing bank account items and allocating I really want a view like this (see attached image)The specific business category could be either selected specifically, or all included.
I have a database created in Access 2003 about six years ago. I’m the sole user of the Application, which I use to keep track of my personal assignments and to quickly access other resources. A search form was added and tweaked over time until it contained the features I desired. The search form uses a subform to display a list of records, with the ability to click a record‘s "Edit" field to open and update that record.
In about March 2014 we upgraded from Office 2003 using Windows XP to Office 2010 using Windows 7. All users on other Applications that I’d designed and support experienced missing Reference issues, but those were resolved rather quickly. I'd been off work intermittently for about six weeks between April and July and gradually started noticing other issues with my personal assignments tracker that I did not immediately associate with the upgrade. Early on, I noticed that I could no longer delete or rename database objects on several of the databases that I'd designed and support. Eventually, I also noticed that I was unable to create new records and received SaveRecord error messages associated with the subform. I'd encountered SaveRecord issues before and went through previous steps to resolve, but to no avail. Eventually, I came to the conclusion, right or wrong, that all of my recent issues were associated with the upgrade.
I found through online research that my loss of ability to delete or rename Objects was possibly due to the loss of Object Owership and Permissions, which was associated with my Security Workgroup. I confirmed that Ownerships and Permissions had been lost and was unwilling to recreate the database, just yet. No user of other Applications that I support reported any problem creating new records.
I know now that new Access doesn’t have the Security menu item that allows Workgroup creation and joining. After months of online research and trial and error, I was directed to Microsoft Knowledgebase Article 918583, which provided VBA code that allowed me to Run the Workgroup Administrator to rejoin my previously established Workgroup.
After rejoining my Workgroup, everything seemed to return to normal. I could delete and rename records and was able to create new records. After a few days, I noticed that new records were not being displayed in the search form right away. I confirmed that the records were being added to the main table, but still not available in the search form, queries, or reports until after an additional record had been added. In other words, for example, in order to view record 1, a record 2 would have to be added. In order to view record 2, a record 3 would have to be added, and so on. This makes it very tedious to enter new assignments.
I believe the present issue is greater than my search form, because the newest record is not only not available in the search form, but not available in any other form, query, or report. I have no clue where to start.
One of the Tables in my membership database is named [WaitList] and has a linked Form.
The Form is configured to pull data from another Table named [Groups]. The fields are [Group ID], [Group name] and [Leader].plus others from a second Table.
When the [Group name] is selected from a Form Combo Box it succesfully records the [Group ID] in the Form and Table, but repeats the [Group ID] in the [Group Name] column of the Table. I am convinced that the problem lies with the Column Width setting on the Property Sheet which is currently set at 0;2.54, but trying various combinations has not solved the problem.
The Row Source for the [Group Name] field is
; SELECT [Groups].[Group ID], [Groups].[Group Name], [Groups].[Leader] from [Groups] and the Column Count is set at 1 (2nd in Table)
I believe the [Leader] field is a different problem in that the Form correctly finds the ID and the Name but not the Leader. I have checked the property sheet for anomalies, but without success.
I have built this type of Table/Form relationship many times but have failed on this occasion.
I am trying to export a text file to be imported in to excel but whenever I export as fixed width all by number columns get cut to 2 decimal places, does anybody know how to get around this?
Thanks
I have three tables: Vehicles; Vehicle Reallocated; and Vehicles Retired. I have a form that runs a query to find all the info in the Vehicles tbl that is not "Retired", not visible in the form. I then have the option to toggle to a Reallocated or Retired form. When i toggle to the reallocated form, i have the like fields in that table (ie Van #, Vin, Make etc) pulling the info from the hidden subform with the vehicle query, so i do not need to fill in repeat data. However, when i add a reallocated date and the new clinic that vehicle is for, i get the record ID for the vehicle reallocated table as expected, but when i save none of the data moved over from the query saves in the record?
How to get all the data on the reallocated form to save?
Here's a query that the bottom listview in the attached form i.e. a listview representing a table of calls(many) to fims (1 top listview)
Code:
SELECT calls.id, calls.firm_id, calls.called, calls.said, calls.spoke_to, calls.next
FROM calls
WHERE (((calls.firm_id)=[firms].[id]))
ORDER BY calls.called DESC , calls.next DESC;
When I run the thing...I get a dialog asking me for firm id.
I want to change this so when I move up and down the firms LV (top)... the bottom LV updates taking firm id from the top LV with focus.
Access 2003.
I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Any ideas why it is not showing?
I am using Access 2000.
You know how normally in design view there would be a table at the bottom of the screen where you can drag your fields from the view above.
Well, I have a query where this table view has disappeared ?
I can edit the query in SQL view, the query works, just the table view is missing.
Ever happened to anyone else ? I've done the obvious and scrolled down as far as I can and nope, it's not there ??? :confused:
i have a table with a date field with default value for new records date()
when i change an other field and im going to save the changes access says that canntot save the changes because of unknown type date()....
Okay, I've been working on this database for weeks now, I'm almost done, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and my boss is anxious to implement the db as I'm only here for 3 more weeks and it MUST be completed, tested, error checked before I leave. So I'm running out of time FAST!
Okay, the problem is simple. I'm using a Data Access Page in Access to build a nice little front-end for my database for my co-workers to use. On this DAP (Data access page) I have an Input box that allows the users to browse their directory and select a file. I need to take the path/file name that pops up in the input box and just save it to the table. I can take care of all the other elements.
So, through DAP, how do I save the value in the inputbox into my table. Please, any help would be great! :eek:
Hi Guys,
What i am trying to do is, i have two tables called Table1 and Table2.
I have created a form called Form1.
This Form1 has all the fields from Table1.
What i want to do is, as soon as a user fills in the details in Form1, obviuosly it saves those details in Table1, BUT i want it to save a couple of field values into Table2 as well.
How do i go about doing this??
In Table1 i can access the fields by "Me.[Fieldname]" (from the VB script), but how do i access Table2 OR how do i save data to Table2 from Form1.
Thanks
Hi there...
I have a table which contains a field with the name "date". i have defined the property "date/time" on the data type of this field and as an input mask I have: “99/99/0000;0;_” i want the date to be saved as 02/02/2008 but every time I try to save it the zero digits are deleted and it is saved as 2/2/2008. How can I do that??
I have in my Form.
Table 1: Vender Name, Number, contract, amount, quantity,and order number.
Table 2: Doc #, Date. Multiple Doc #'s and dates will be saved under one vendor name (hence the two tables).
What I need is a MACRO where once I save the Doc #and Date to a record, I need to be able to go back to that record and enter a new Doc # without saving over the one I originally did.
Access 2010. When I make changes to an existing report and click save, the report won't close. I have to click cancel before the report will close. I'm the admin. to the database.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would likw for my first and last name fields width to match the length of the name. So if the last name is Smith then the field width will resize itself to fit perfect fit the name. Then if I have a last name of Connor then it will grow to fit it perfect. I dont need this but it will be nice so everything looks a bit nicer an cleaner. I thought the following would have worked:
Code : Me.Lastname.width = Len(Me.Lastname]
I am trying to export a table (and possibly later a query) into a fixed width text file and I am not finding where to set the specifications. When I select Text File in the export tab, I only get the check box about Export datq with formatting and layout. Is that basically it? I do have the table set up with the correct widths for the fields.
An additional question:
This is a large table with 99 fields for a total width of 804 characters. Is there any limit for the six of a record for such an export?
I have a table with 140 fields (I know, this is too many). I have a date field that intermittently will not allow data to be entered. There is a pattern to the data it will not accept, but it seems to only occur in certain records and what it will or will not allow seems different in each case. The error I get when I try to save a record is: The search key was not found in any record. I've isolated the error to the level of the table. Have tried compact/repair, removing the index on the field, deleting and recreating the field. Nothing works. Help! :confused:

Warehouse inventory system in access 2003. I have set up two primary tbls: Equipment and ETO (Equipment transfer order) both have an autofill primary key and the equipmentID is part of the ETO tble. There is a one-to many realationship from the equipment to the ETO. There are other tables (4) in the system but they are used as look-up tables and i'm not concerned about those.
Equipment Table layout: EquipmentID, ModelNumber, SerialNumber, Mfg, ProductName, CurrentLocation, Category. This table is used as the repository for all of the equipment that needs to be tracked and inventoried. It will not change much with except the CurrentLocation changing as the stuff is shipped around (in Store, In Warehouse) and of course when new equipment is being added.
ETO table layout: ETOID, ETONumber, FromStore, ToStore, OriginStore, ETODate, ModelNumber, SerialNumber, MfgID, ProductName, LocationID, CategoryID, EquipmentID. This table will be used (I hope) to basicly track the equipment as it moves from store to store to warehouse and back out again.
Process: Locate a peice of equipment by either SerialNumber or ModelNumber in the Equipment Table, change the location depending on it's status (coming in, going out) then i need to somehow update the ETO table with that ModelNumber, SerialNumber, Mfg, category, etc..But put in the FromStore, Tostore, OriginStore, ETODate, etc..
I have tried both the update query and append query from both tables but I can't get the results i need.
We import data to a table on a weekly basis. We delete the table and replace the data. Most of the data is the same. It's date's, group names, ...
Now we would like to save the weekly table and add a saved date. Then we would like a query that puts all the saved tables together and that we could filter.
For example. A team is planned to do a work on 01/01/13. The next week it has changed to 07/01/13. So the data in the table it updated but we can't track the changed date. If we had the different tables we could filter that team and so that the work was originaly planned on date x to be done on the 01/01/13, on date y it was 07/01/13....
Of course if we would save the complete table every time it would mean a lot of useless data that hasn't changed. So a better solution would be that a query could see which data has changed and it only saved those lines on that date.
