General :: Report Does Not Open In Preview Mode On Some Machines
May 21, 2014I have a button on my form that should open a report in Preview node.
On SOME users machines, it appears that absolutely NOTHING happens when the user clicks the button. (preview mode)
Report parameters that may have some bearing are as follows. (Default settings in most cases)
Default View : Report View
Allow Report View: Yes
Allow Layout View: Yes
Auto Center : Yes
Auto Resize: Yes
Fit to page: Yes
Pop_up: Yes (This is NOT the default setting, as I would prefer the report to pop-up. If the report does not open in pop up mode, the users tend to close the DB instead of just the report.)
On the user machines where the problem exists, I have turned off the pop-up blocker in their web browser. It seems to work when opening in Report View.
Button Macro parameters are:
Report Name: My_Rpt_Name
View : Print Preview
Filter Name :
Where Condition :
Window Mode : Normal
Environment
SQL back end (ODBC Connection to server)
Access 2010 Front end
I am developing the DB in the bog standard install with no special permissions / add-ons. Also, my developer (log on) account is as a standard user, so there should be no (network) permission issues.
When troubleshooting on the user machines, If I open the report in design view and then open in Preview mode, it works.
Is the problem with the Form or the Macro or the Preview mode or maybe some Reg key that must be changed to allow reports as pop-ups?
General Database Development & Design Help!
Jul 27, 2007Hi,
Right at the moment i'm baisically designing and building a software licensing management system fro my boss at the moment but I have had a snag, the face that its 3pm on a friday is not helping with my concentration either.
Ok so my problem is that i've got 3 tables (tblUser_Informantion, tblSoftware_Information & tblHardware_Information) all of which are related via a 4th table (tblReference) which holds the primary keys of each of the other 3 tables mentioned.
For all intents and purpose's the primary keys are named according to their tables i.e. (User_ID, Software_ID, Hardware_ID, Reference_ID etc...)
On my main form a User can select via a cmbo-box or search for a Person via Surname or search via Machine Asset number. Upon selection this fills a number of pre determinate box's below that containing you typical standard information. However under this is a subform showing what software the user has installed on the machine and on an alternate tab it shows the software license's purchased and assigned to that machine. So far so good.
However I want to create a button in which the user can add software for that particular person in the fields. The user will select the software from a listbox filtered by combo boxes filtering by Software Vendor etc... My problem is that when the user has selected this software title either via double click or an update button i want it to update the tblReference table. So baisically i need this button to grab the User_ID, Software_ID and Hardware_ID and place it in the tblReference table as a new record.
Hopefully i have explained this well enough for people to understand below is a jpg of my current main screen so you can hopefully get a jist of what im trying to say and do. However im open to suggestions if people feel they know a much better way of achieving my goal.. as i sed its friday afternoon and im feeling particulary slow so you'll have to forgive me!
Any help is much appreciated.
How To Open A Website URL In Pop Up Mode From A Form In Access
May 4, 2015I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL. (I would like to position the popup so that the contents of the Address and Postal Code fields are still visible on the form). I would also like to know if there is a way to copy the contents of the Address Field in my program to the Windows Clipboard, using VBA code, so that I can paste it into the Postal Code Finder without highlighting the field contents and pressing Ctrl-C.
View 2 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Check If Database Is Open (Read Only Mode)
Jul 16, 2015I would like to be able to check if a db is open and if it is to prevent the user from proceeding.
I use the Access 2013 Runtime. I can check if a db is open by trying to open Exclusively, using something like
Code: [URL] ....
But if the db is already open Not exclusively and I try to open it exclusively it does not raise an error and it allows the user to open the db in Read Only mode.
I would like to be able to prevent this, because careless and/or inexperienced users may open several instances of the db.
Of course, if the db is already open exclusively it does not allow you to open it exclusively another time.
Forms :: Macro To Open A Form In Hidden Mode
Mar 7, 2013I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.
When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.
I do not understand why?
I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....

View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: Open Form From (Edit List Items) Option In Data Entry Mode
Feb 4, 2014I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?

Jul 26, 2013I'm trying to show the modal value of a column in a query that only has text in, not numbers. I want to present this in a text box in a report.
My report already has a query as its record source that only shows data for a given year and given month, these are chosen using parameters created in the query. Thus all I need to figure out is how to show the modal value for the column "Categories" on the report somehow.
Here are my parameters:

General :: Time Format Changes In Edit Mode
Sep 4, 2012Started working with access 2010
Have a text field in a form with following relevant properties:
Format tab - Format: Short Time
Data tab - Inputmask: 00:00;0;_
Data tab - Default value: =Time()
Goal: show a default but editable current time in HH:MM format
Behaviour: When entering form current time is displayed in HH:MM - problem is that when I enter field with the curser it automatically changes format to HH:MM:SS.
How can I avoid/control that behavior?
General :: Module Crashing After Changing Window Mode In Macro
Sep 10, 2014We have been calling a main form to manage yacht races using a hyperlink/macro from a selection form which lists all the yacht races ..The main form was too big to fit on some screens so we changed it to pop up mode to allow it to be resized and use scroll bars. this works well when the form is opened manually and all functions run just fine
the hyperlinik/macro for race selection had originally been set up to call the main form in dialog mode but we have had to change this as it disabled the resizing of the form and the scroll bars..The macro tool doesn't offer pop up mode so i selected window mode = normal and the main form opens with a resizable window and scroll bars but all the functions called from this module now fail (error message = use of null value or similar and all the functions go into debug mode - the server is down and i can't access the system to get the exact details)
If i change the macro in the selection form back to window mode = dialog the functions work but i lose the resizing of the main form and and the scroll bars.

Dec 17, 2012I have two separate database files, a front end with all my forms and a back end with all my tables. The backend is stored on a network drive, is there any way of being able to store the frontend on the drive with the backend? Users do not use the actual computer to store information or access files, everything is usually saved on the network drive. I have created a shortcut that launches the front end database in the read only kiosk mode.

Apr 21, 2015I'm working on a login form and *not thinking* I removed access to the submenu. I had already set the form up so that you either login correctly or exit the program. I'm working in code for the form and I know it's possible to reactivate the menu in code, I just don't know how. And I can't switch to design mode. The form is set up to not allow anything to happen until the correct login has been entered, and I either had a typo when I set up my test login or the program is bugged and only says it's incorrect....

Dec 5, 2005I'm after a bit of advice....
Have developed a booking system for a client, Access 2003 adp front end with SQL Server 2000 backend, they want to offer search and view facilities on their intranet and possibly on the internet. Very broad but Simple question, whats the best way to do it ?:eek: having never done any web development....
It will purely be a couple of combo boxes populated from the SQL server for selection, followed by the display of the results, possibly with an email button.
At a loss as to where I should start, can I do anything in Access or possibly ASP.NET or something else ????
Apologies if this is in the wrong thread, and many thanks in advance for any responses,

Development Contract
Oct 30, 2006Placed this query in another section of the forum without response - possibly wrong section so please forgive me for duplication
Does anyone have a sample development contract subject to UK legislation. I need one for a project that is quoted at £4,500 stg and as this is my first biggie I want to keep myself covered.
whilst I know you may suggest I go to a solicitor I can't really afford to. some of you may say that I can't afford not to but hopefully after a couple of biggies like this it will be possible.
Thanks

Development Issue
Nov 28, 2007Is there a way to kick all users out of the database so updates can be made? I have an Access database that is used by several different machines. I need to make my updates around 4pm each day but sometimes the operators forget to log off. I need to be able to kick everyone out so that I can get my updates made on time.
Any ideas?
Need Development Advice
Jul 22, 2007Hello,
I am looking for some advice on how to go about solving a problem.
I created a database 1 primary table with 1 other table, linked in a form with a 1 to many relationship.
The PK is auto assigned for both tables.
I want to have say three different companies use the same database but with some kind of unique ID for each company so when I bring all of the data together into one database it will all merge but be sortable by the company that created the data.
As some of you will note I thought that defining the PK for each record was the way to go but it seems that this is not going to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Development Plan Db
Apr 10, 2008I doing a db that is supposed to show the development plan of some persons.
2 tables:
graduates
departments
in the graduates table there are among other data about the graduates, four fields for their departments in the next year.
i have called them:
rotation 1
rotation 2
rotation 3
rotation 4
these rotations should be choosed from the departments table, so i have created a lookup dropdown list in these fields.
now i want to show a query that shows a list of all the departments with the linked graduates. something like this:
Rot 1: Rot 2: Rot 3: Rot 4:
dep 1: Ben John - James
dep 2: James Ben John -
dep 3: - - James -
dep 4: John - Ben -
dep 5: - - - John
dep 6: - James - Ben
'-' = meaning empty field (onley for illustration in this forum)
My question is how i set up the links between the tables to create a query that show this.
Thank you.

How To Get Started With Access/Web Development
Aug 26, 2005Hello:
I've been using Access as my database development tool for a few years. Now I would like to start learning how to use Access in conjuction with other tools (such as ASP, vb.Net, etc.) to develop web applications. Can anyone point me in the right direction, offer ideas on how to get started? I don't know how things work between an Access db and the Web.
Thank you very much.

Access Development Prices
Oct 16, 2005I recently got asked by a friend to set up a database for him to store his business contacts (so he can do mailshots etc) along with some basic order history. I've come up with the basics of this database (attached). There is still some work to do on it, a bit of tidying up and some reports etc but I need to go and see him show him what I've done and to clarify exactly what reports and stuff he wants.
I'm only doing this in my free time but he has said he'll pay me for my efforts. I don't feel I can really charge an hourly rate though as I'm still only learning the ropes and what might take me several hours might only take an experienced developer an hour or even 10 mins! :o
So I guess what I'm asking, is could those of you who are self-employed, or indeed anyone who has some idea of what the going rates for databases are, take a look at what I've done and give me an estimate of how long it would have taken to put together something similar and how much you would charge for it (either in total or per hour).
I'm also sure that some of what I've done could have been done a lot better, so if anyone has any views on improvements I could make, I'm all ears. :)
