I'm saving links to a combobox in a form, but each time I close out of the form and reopen it the Combobox doesn't keep the list of data I entered before and only keeps the last selected one in its drop down menu.
Is there a way to make the Combobox store/keep the data?
How would I modify multiple comboboxes in subforms at the same time. For example.. In main form ComboboxA user selects 1992, Combobox1 in subform1 is also changed to 1992, as well as Combobox2 in subform 2.
Whats the best way to do this?
This is very bad. We're losing data changes when we run a synchronize on an Access database.
A client wanted to use replication so he could have several people using the same database and then update everyone's changes. (It turns out that he's not used that feature.)
The client was unable to get the replica to work on his machine, so he uses the master version.
Instead, we've used replication to allow me to make changes in the database structure while he makes changes in the data. (Obviously, it would have been better to split the database in two parts, but it's too late for that now.)
Here's my process when I need to update his copy:
1. Synchronize between my master and replica.
2. Copy master to CD-R. (We're not on a network.)
3. Synchronize between client's master and replica.
4. Send a copy of master to client.
5. Open my new version of master on the client's computer and synchronize with his replica copy.
When we do that many of his recent changes disappear.
Why is that? They don't even show up as conflicts.
What are we doing wrong? Are we totally abusing the concept of replication or what??
I'm stumped. I appreciate any suggestions or thoughts.
I have a form and one of the text fields I need to verify against data in a table. I think the best way is to check the field once it loses focus on that text field. If the data is not in the table then the user is prompt with a msg "Invalid data, Please try again". I'm using Access 2010 to develop. I need query to run the validation.

The problem is when I go to add a new record the filter information goes away.
For backround this is DB for project information. The user clicks a button to view notes on the project. The notes are stored in a different table and the project_id is the common field which links the two together. I want this to function where the user can open the subform read the notes and add a new one if needed.
I have some field in my details section,It works like a grid view,if I search data by query then It shows all of the related data from database,then I edit or save data one by one,but the problem is I want to disable text box after edit/save data.But if I write code like--
If Me.Text103 > "" Then
Me.Text103.Enabled= False
Else
Me.Text103.Enabled= True
End If
It disable the all of the rows,but I want to disable only the specific field where I enter the data.
I want to use information supplied to me by suppliers as spreadsheets to create a database that i can navigate through by selecting from drop down options.
Example;
Imagine a product being broken down by its features, such as a washing machine.
Here is a list of what i would need to sort on,
Manufacture
Model
Type
Size
Price
Colour...and so on
So, if a customer asked "what 8kg 1200rpm washing machines do you supply for under £300 and in black" i would like to able to find all that info by drilling down a few selections.
I have a main form called frmAF54. In this main form I have a subform named frmPassdown. The subform record source is from a table called tblCards. This table contains many different cards. I have a combobox called lstOpCard in the main form as well. The combobox lists all of the different cards in "tblCards". I have a button called "buttonFilter".
A user opens the form and clicks (or selects) the different cards in the combo box "lstOpCard" that they want to filter for. Once their selections are made, they can click the "buttonFilter" button and the subform "frmPassdown" will be filtered based off of their selections.
The filter is applied using the IN() function as shown below:
Me.AF54PassDown.Form.Filter = "[OpCardID] IN ( " & sTemp & " )" --sTemp is a string containing the keyIDs of the cards selected.
My problem is that people will be opening and closing the form throughout the day / week. When the form closes, it loses the applied filter. How can I have my filter on the subform be saved after the form is closed and the filter is still applied when the form is opened later?
I'm currently working on a way to import data from many word documents into a table - I've got this working fine using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub bImportFiles_Click()
On Error GoTo bImportFiles_Click_Err
Dim objFS As Object, objFolder As Object
Dim objFiles As Object, objF1 As Object
Dim strFolderPath As String
[code]....
However, I'm wanting to add a link to those files to the table so that the user can click on the record (or select one and then use a button) to open each document in it's native environment (MS Word). I've tried adding a self-referencing hyperlink to a form in the word document and then reading that in - but that doesn't seem to work. As these files may move around (and there are a lot of them) I need to make sure it's done automatically so can't really get the user to write it in manually.
My membership database has worked fine until recently. Now I cannot save inserted data. On attempted saving "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit" appears.
The problem. relates to 2 tables Member and Addresses. PK in the parent table Member is ID. In the Addresses Table the FK is ID. There is a One to One relation between the tables and Referential Integrity is set. I know 1 to 1 is not good but it worked fine in this small database.
Browsing the all of the existing records is fine.
I have a main form (in a single form view) that show a record from a table. I am going to add a sub form (probably a continuous form view) which can show a list of fields (probably a name) from all records from a child table that match condition PrimaryKey = ForeignKey.
What is the best way to make the list of the fields sort of clickable so that I can click on any of them and e.g. open a form with information about a child record? Should I look for hyperlinks in reports, a list box, a continuous sub form with records?
I have a report named Link_report which retrieve links to find some documents. I would like to add a Msgbox to say: " No link has been found for this document" when the case link is empty.

So if the user selects "test company from the combo box, that data (from that form) will save to the Test company data table.
i have a form (frm1) and subform (sfrm1) that when a room number is double-clicked in the subform another form (frm2) and subform (sfrm2) loads. frm1 has building info and frm2 is used for inspection info. if a room has never been inspected then when frm2 loads the field [room] will be empty. however, after the first inspection the room number is obviously entered for frm2.
so i have created a global variable that holds the value of [lab_room] from frm1 and is supposed to use this value on frm2 if the room has never been inspected - ie, [room] is null. however, the value of intRoom (global variable) is lost after is leaves frm1 and goes to frm2. below is my code:
modGlobal (module with global variables declared)

Me!room.Value = intRoom

can anyone see why the value is being lost from frm1 to frm2? i'm ripping my hair out trying to figure this one out....
This has most definitely been asked before but I really cant find anything on the forum! Ive created a data entry form which has a save button which the user must click each time to save the record. However how do I refresh the form i.e. empty all data from the previous record without exiting the form. Ive tried to combine the undo macro but that simply deletes the previous record. Any help please!!!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created 10 User Group Accounts, and have set Permissions for the first 7 successfully. However, no Permission settings are being saved for any subsequent Groups. (Access 2010 managing a 2003 mdb file, Front and Back client)
After having experimented a little, I found that while Access allows you to create a Group name with 20 characters, any Group with 20 characters in the name does not save Permissions.19 Characters seems to be the maximum characters a Group can actually be named with.

Any way to either - highlight nothing, or highlight the selected row?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a database that will be used by two different groups. Group A provides a list of items to be investigated by Group B.
I'm wondering if it is possible to:
i) have Group A create an excel file of items to be investigated (let's call the file tblNEW)
ii) open a record in the file through a form (let's call the form frmINPUT) to allow Group B to input investigation findings
iii) save the modified record into a separate table of all the work that has been done (let's call this table tblWORK)
iv) delete the investigated record in tblNEW once it gets saved into tblWORK
I have a database that I've created for a number of clerks under me to use to track their daily tasks.
When clerks are entering their tasks, they do so through a number of combo boxes on a form (Assigned by:, Division of Law:, Subcategory:, Casename etc). When all of the combo boxes have been filled, the employee can click a button in order to save the record to the back end of the database and open a new blank record.
Currently, if an employee tries to enter the wrong data in a combo box and save the record, they will be prompted to enter data and not allowed to save the record; the problem is that if they leave all fields blank they can still save the record - thus creating useless data for reporting purposes. For example, an employee could enter their name and the date of record but leave every other combo box blank and still save the record. I want to lock the form such that they cannot save the record unless all of the combo boxes on the form are populated to reduce user error.
How can I do this simply?
