General :: Yes / No Displaying As -1 / 0 In Second Form
Jul 25, 2013
I have a table which has a yes/no field, in the table everything displays as either Yes or No, unless you click on it to edit it, whereby No become 0 and Yes becomes -1.This isn't a big problem as users can only access forms. On the input form this is a check box, checked for Yes and unchecked for No. This used to be a drop down selection box of Yes and No and the same problem was occuring, so I know the problem doesn't relate to the check box.
I have a second reporting form which has multiple combo boxes to filter down results in a subform. In the subform the field correctly displays as Yes and No, however, the filtering combobox for this field has the options 0 and -1.
The combobox is set up as Yes/No, the table is Yes/No and the results are Yes/No. There is no other formatting or input options that can be changed to tell the database this is a Yes/No field.How can I get this combobox to display as Yes/No? It's causing a lot of confusion with users as they are having to select 0 or -1.As a note, I've already tried the following:
-Deleting the combobox and starting again.
-Deleting the table and combo box and starting again.
-Deleting all tables, queries and forms which use this field and starting again.
None have worked, this seems to be something Access is doing rather than an error in what I've done.The filter form uses this code, which may be the cause:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private m_colCombos As Collection
Private m_strFilter As String
I a a new user to Access having only every ceate a couple of small databases using the wizards. I have just started a database where I have created my tables and I am now creating a form to display information. The problem that I am having is that when in Design mode I can see all the information and fields that I have used to create the form, however when i save the form then opening in display mode I do not see any of the fields, revert back to design mode and hey are all there.
Basically, its a database for an entertainments agency, I've got a form for 'Artists' which shows the performers on the agencies books. I've tabbed the form so one screen shows the artist details and I want the second screen to show the bookings that the specific artist has.
I've linked to the 'bookings' table on the subform successfully, but I can't figure out how to filter it so it just shows the bookings that the specific artist showed has.
i.e.: I want it so that The Deltatones booking tab ONLY shows the deltatones bookings.
I have done this before and can't remember how I did it and I can't fogure out how to do it. I have a form with textboxes that are for displaying info to the users. I want to lock them so that users can not click on them or high light the fields. So basically the user can only click on fields I want them to.
I Have this graph that needs to be run from a combo box selection. it doesnt seem to want to display any information at all. i have attached my database.
My problem is displaying data in many-to-many relationships.
There are three main tables: tblShops, tblOwners and tblMarketingEvents.
These are linked through two junction tables creating two many-to-many relationships:
1) Each Shop may have more than one Owner and each Owner may have more than one Shop. 2) Each Marketing Event may reach more than one Owner and each Owner may be reached by more than one Event.
Now I want to display for each Marketing Event:
1) the data of that event, (tblMarketingEvents) 2) plus the owners reached in that event, (tblOwners) 3) plus all the shops owned by the owners reached in that event. (tblShops)
Preferably, I want to display more than one record at a time without repeating any information.
Is there a way to display the data like this?
I tried a query: it gives the right data but does not display it as I need. It repeats the data from tblMarketingEvents and tblOwners for each shop.
I tried a form with subform: it can only display one record at a time and is hard to work with (printing etc)
I tried a report with grouping levels based on the query: Again, right information, wrong display. I need to group according to the records of the MarketingEvents table and not just according to a single field.
I have created a table with name "Main". It consists of fields ID, Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published.
I have created a form named "MFORM" with text boxes Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published,and then I created a search and clear parameters buttons below the text box.
Then I dragged my Search Query into the bottom of my form MFORM and named it as "All Results".
When I click on search then the results are displayed in the new tab instead of bottom of my main form in Search query.
If I enter author name as Mike and then click on search button then results should display all the details related to Mike on the bottom of my form.
All Results [At the Bottom of my page]
Should display all the details related to Mike.
I had attached my database. I just need the search results at the bottom of my main form in stead of displaying in new tab.
I want to display that query data in a Pie Chart, one chart for each theme with a section of pie for each Type (with the value of the count determining the size). Unfortunately my mind has gone blank. Everything I try does not appear correctly, some queries also require an repeated entry of the parameters but even if I do that it doesn't display correctly. I think I need to write another query to the format:
I'm wanting to create a way of searching through and displaying a large number of pdfs. These will be of different lengths and most will have images embedded in them. Each pdf will be categorised using a variety of fields to enable fairly sophisticated searches. I then want to link this database to a Joomla CMS website.
I have two tables to track our engineer visits, one tracks the visit as a whole and the other tracks the individual instruments the engineer worked on during that visit. This way I can track visits to customer sites separately to the visits made to an individual instrument.
Right now, I create a visit and then add Visit Lines (containing the details of the instrument visited). These instruments, or 'Visit Lines', are being displayed in the Visits Table via a related items box. Visit lines are associated with Instruments in the Instrument Table via a serial number lookup. All this works great...
However, I want to display both the serial number and the instrument description in the related items control in the Visits Table. Since the Visit Lines table only has the instrument ID lookup and not the instrument description I can't display it in the control.
I need to either:
a) Create an instrument description in the Visit Lines table as a lookup and have this automatically pull in the description based on the serial number the user selects.... which I can't figure out how to do - it's just an autocomplete.
b) Create an instrument description in Visit Lines and have a macro grab the corresponding description from the Instruments table based on the serial number input - but just for this record...
I have created a 6 search boxes with names Author, Published, Language, Title, Keywords and University. If I enter "A" in Author search field then it should return all the 6 fields which contains "A" in Author field. It worked well.
My Requirement :
The column published is the year. In search box of Published if I search for 2000 then it's returning all the 6 fields which contains "2000" in Published field.
But most of the people doesn't know the exact year in which the book is published so they need some favour like, If they search for 2000-2010 in Published field then it should return all the fields which are between 2000-2010 in the published field.
For this do I need to create 2 extra text boxes and name them as Starting year and Ending Year? or else we can achieve this in single text box as xxxx-xxxx?
Using ms access 2010, I created a table called all items contains the ID, item name, item code, item price.
Second table I created called orders, contains item1,Q1=quantity,Tot1=calculated field.
Then a form to fill the orders table with a combo box for Q1 (gets the value from a table called numbers), second combo box for item1 (gets the value item code and item price from the table all items), and a text box to calculate the total of the Q1-item1(item price) All working perfect except the combo box for item1 ends up displaying a different item code that's only if the items were at the same price, for example, I choose latte from the combo box gives me correct item price but the code is cappuccino, only happening with items with the same price.
If I set the property of the combo box Bound Column to 1, I get correct item code but calculation error, Bound Column to 2, I get correct calculations but wrong item code. how to get the combo box to display the correct item code?
I am maintaining an Access 2003 application that is running on Windows 7 64Bit Enterprise OS setup.
I have a form in the application that displays a number of records with each record having a unique id and a field called ClockHrs which is stored as a Number (Long Integer) type.
I have a textbox that displays the sum of the ClockHrs field.
The textbox contains no code behind.
The Control source property of the textbox is set to '= SUM([ClockHrs])'
ClockHrs 10 10 30 15 10 15 25 === 115
The textbox displays the result of the sum 115 in scientific notation as 1.15 +02 .
I have a split form that's like a list of pending tasks. The data source is a linked SharePoint 2013 list where users submit requests. The user takes the information from each record and performs an action. When it is done, the user presses a button and the task status changes from "Pending" to "Processed". The form record source is based on a query that finds only records with a status of "Pending" so when the user changes the status of the task, it is removed from the list. It works fine except when there is only one task left in the work list. If the user processes the last task, the form refreshes and it goes to a new empty record and I get an error message that says I must enter a value into one of the required fields. I tried making the field non-required but it just creates an empty record in the table.
After a very very very long time i've manged to crack my first QBF! When I click the command button to run the macro and display the results, the results are coming up in a table format.
Is there any way to have the results of the QBF displayed on the same form?
For example, if I have a table that contains my different products and their categories - in this example 50 different types of "toy trucks", 75 "toy cars" and 100 "toy trains" - and I then perform a QBF on the criteria of product type, in this example "toy cars" - I would want the first "toy car" record to show on the form in their relevant fields, and be able to scroll through 74 records before coming to an end.
This way I could easily place all my products in one table, then select which products I'd like to view in the form and scroll through them.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated as I haven't been able to find anything online.
Trying to display PDF in a form. Ideally, I would like to link one or more PDF's to each record in a table and be able to view the PDF within the form. Opening the file via double-click would be a nice bonus.
I've looked at a helpful post here http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100877 which describes doing this through ActiveX
Part of my trouble is I don't understand the ActiveX well enough. I was able to make this work with a sample file, but then I lost all the tool bars that were on the document and can't get them back. I also can't figure out how to get the double-click to open to work. Is there documentation somewhere on the ActiveX control?
I also tried using an OLE object. I can create a form in design view that contains a linked PDF, but I can't figure out how to index off a table. I also can't figure out how to resize (for a thumbnail, for example).
To display images on a form (Access 2003) I used the same code of the Northwind database sample (Form Emplyees).
when changing the Picture's location it returns a bug in the code (Couldn' open ...the file), or the ErrorMessage Label should have the value: "File not Found".
Here is the code:
Private Sub Form_Current() Dim res As Boolean Dim fName As String Path = CurrentProject.Path On Error Resume Next ErrorMsg.Visible = False If Not IsNull(Me![ProductPicture]) Then res = IsRelative(Me![ProductPicture]) fName = Me![ImagePath] If (res = True) Then fName = Path & "" & fName End If Debug.Print "fName: " & fName Me![ImageFrame].Picture = fName showImageFrame Me.PaintPalette = Me![ImageFrame].ObjectPalette If (Me![ImageFrame].Picture <> fName) Then hideImageFrame ErrorMsg.Caption = "File not Found" ErrorMsg.Visible = True End If Else hideImageFrame ErrorMsg.Caption = "Click on Add/Edit to add the Product Picture" ErrorMsg.Visible = True End If
End Sub
Function IsRelative(fName As String) As Boolean IsRelative = (InStr(1, fName, ":") = 0) And (InStr(1, fName, "") = 0) End Function #
:confused: ok basically im trying to create a form for customer details for a project at college, what I want is:
select customer ID from a drop down list, which then should display all their details below such as address etc(from the linked table), which cannot be edited or nothing, like looking up information. can anyone help me please???
:confused: I am setting up a referral system with a datebase on access. I want to have a form where I can enter a date of referral and the results are displayed in a form style? How do I do it?
I have set up a form to enter the date, with a submit button, and this return the results in a dataview/spreadsheet style. But I want to display in a form so that I can edit later.
I recently have made some changes to a bound form that someone else created. Since I made the changes, simply adding a couple more linked textboxes, the form will not populate any of the fields until I lose focus from this main form to another form and come back. I have tried adding me.requery, me.refresh to the onActive event, but it does not work.
Also this only occurs on 2 machines. If I try it on mine or a couple of other computers in the company the program works fine.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do and could really use some help on this one.
In my table of assembly numbers where each assembly number has a set of work instructions as a pdf file. I'm wondering if it is possible to display the pdf file as an object within a form..?
I know its possible to open this document as a hyperlink but I want it to be embedded within the form.
I have created a Query to search for clients in my database, the query and the search all work fine, however it would be nice to have the query post the results into a form I have created to display clients data rather than posting the results in a tables view.
I have a combo box with a list of names in, and a table for each of those people.
When one of these names is selected, i want the contents of the corresponding table to display in a form. Easy Enough.
But...how do I get these tables displaying in one form depending on which name is selected, to save me having 7 copies of the same form just with different sources. All the field names are the same.
One solution I thought of is to put all the data in one table, but would really rather keep it separate.
Forgive me for what may sound like a dum question -- Access is completely new to me.
I have my table. I have this displayed as a form.
At the bottom of the form, I have a text box and a command button.
The user enters in a key value. The command button triggers a macro that runs a query.
Now, I'd like the form to display the data returned from the query. How?
I tried creating a new form with its Record Source set to the query. I had the macro close the original form, run the query and open the new form. But before the new form could be opened, Access prompted me for a 'parameter value' (I assume so that the query could be run again).
I searched the archives and Access Help and couldn't quite find the answer to this question, which is no doubt simple.
I have a form showing Projects with an embedded subform showing all the Buildings associated with a given project. In the form footer section of the subform, I would like to display summary information about the buildings in the project being displayed, such as count of buildings, count of residential buildings, count of commercial buildings, and so on, and I would like these summary values to update as users add or change building information.
I know how to write the SQL query to pull this information, but do I use a text box or some other vehicle to do this? Using a text box as a calculated control, I was able to produce the count of buildings using:
= COUNT([UnitID])
To get the count of residential buildings, I need to be able to specify "WHERE bldgtypeID = 'R'"...I can't get the text box to display results of an SQL statement. Can text boxes handle SQL statements?
