hi
The database XXXXX_20061018.mdb contains the form Frm_XXXXXX.
Currently this form does not show data after it has been opened.
infact of the Me.FilterOn = False.
so please give me some idea how to solve this problem
thanking you
thought this might have been easy, but no....
i want to have a form with a [DateFrom] and [DateTo] text box
you click a button, it goes to a chart and the chart is filtered between those dates (the chart has week along the x axis)
problem is, the recordsource of a chart in a report is a crosstab query and you can't put form filters into a cross tab query
have tried to ram the parameters in before opening it with
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qry_Reporting_Charts").Parameters("DateFrom").Value = [txtFrom]
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qry_Reporting_Charts").Parameters("DateFrom").Value = [txtTo]
DoCmd.OpenReport [cmbReports].Value, acViewPreview
but it looks like the parameters are read only or something :confused:
any ideas anyone?
thanx in advance
Having trouble printing after I performed a filter. Have a subform with continuous forms that I put various filters on..., however when printing, all the records print and not just what was filtered...Is there a way around this. Basically, I would like to be able to print out only the filtered records in my form view.

I am trying to build a database for the handling of events for our clients. I therefore do have four tables named "Client", "Invitation", "Invitation status" and "Events". The table invitation includes an own primary key and the primary keys from the tables "Invitation", "Invitations status" and "Events" as so called secondary keys. I have now built an ongoing form, based on the "Client" table.
This form has a list field which includes the upcoming events. All our clients are listed below this form (as it is an ongoing form). After the name of the client I do have a drop down field calles "status" (source is the table "Invitation status" where we can remark if the client is invited, has confirmed his attend and so on.
The problem is now as follows: I am able to put in the status of a specific client for an event. The result is saved in the table as wanted. I am also able to change the status and this will be saved in the table as well. What doesn't work is that if I want to change the event, the status doesn't change. This means that if a client hast the status invited for event X he has the status for all events, which shouldn't be. The aim would be that if I am changing the event, the status also has to change.
I have a number of forms that are bound to recordsets as follows:
Dim rs As New adodb.Recordset
sqlQuery = "Select * from myTable"
rs.Open sqlQuery, sqlCNN, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
Set Me.Recordset = rs
Set rs = Nothing
In Access 2003, users could open these forms and filter on basically any field by using the right click-> Text Filters functionality.
In Access 2010, this functionality appears to work (users can apply the filter and the Toggle Filter button in the ribbon shows a filter is applied), but all of the records are still visible in the form.
Any work-around that does not involve redesigning the form to be non-recordset bound?
Is it possible to clear filters set on a subform using a button on the main form?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a search form with blank fields tied to a table, four criteria search boxes, and a button to take the input from the search boxes, search the table, and populate the results on the form's blank fields. As of now, it works as long as all four criteria boxes aren't null.I used filters to achieve this, and here's the code that works as long as all four boxes are not empty. (My criteria boxes are as follows: a textbox called "Keyword" and three combo boxes called HRCombo, BuildingCombo, and RoomCombo, and the fields they're tied to are as follows: "Item Description" "HR Holder" "Building" "Room") My first line "Me.Filter = ..." was broken up to make it easier to view.
Code:
Me.Filter = "[Item Description] Like " & Chr(34) & Me.Keyword & "*" & Chr(34) & "
AND [HR Holder] = '" & Me.HRCombo & "'" & " AND [Building] = '" & Me.BuildingCombo
& "'" & " AND [Room] = '" & Me.RoomCombo & "'"
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Requery
I need it to be able to do the search no matter which combination of criteria boxes have input. Someone recommended using if statements to do the following: Create four strings, one for each criteria box. Use 4 if statements to check if the box is null - if it is null, assign an asterisk to its string, and if its not null, assign the value I used for the above Me.Filter statement to each box's string. Then, use Me.Filter and concatenate the four strings at the end. Here's the code I used for this, and, with my limited knowledge, I can't get it to work.
Code:
Dim StrA as String, StrB as String, StrC as String, StrD as String
If Me.Keyword is null then
StrA = "*"
else
StrA = [Item Description] Like " & Chr(34) & Me.Keyword & "*" & Chr(34)
End If
[code]....
Here is the environment:
Currently, I have 10 Users running a front end form that connect to back end data where they add to current records and eventually check that the record is complete.
I also have an "Apply Filter" button on the right hand side of the form that allows the user to apply filters to the records to show specific data that is not complete.
I am currently hearing that while the user is working, whether they apply filter or not, it seems as though all of a sudden, all of their completed work dissapears from their recordset hence not allowing them to go back to make changes to it if needed. I can only conclude that when a different user clicks apply filter, all users are affect some how... here are some examples of the code for the filter:
Code:
Select Case [cboFilterValues] ' Where the user selects a filter parameter from a dropdown
Case "All Data"
strSQL = "SELECT * " & _
"FROM [Data Table] " & _
"WHERE [Complete] = No
Then it does:
Code:
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
I am basically trying to find a way where only the user wanting to view the filter is affected... FYI, the other users arent actually seeing all the filters from the other user filter choice, they simply loose all their completed work from their form.
I am trying to generate a report that is based off of a query. The query has a form filter that it needs to filter the data. I keep getting a jet engine error and couple others.
The form has year, start week, and end week on it. I can get the query to work fine. When I try to open the report, Access says it doesn't recognize the " [Forms]![frmUptimeFilter]![StartWeek] " as a valid field name or expression.
I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.
I'm trying to create a form which filters a report based off of combo boxes selected by the user. The code I'm using currently is:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgramAttendees", acViewReport, , "ProgramIDFK = " & cboProgramTitle
This works great to return a report if the user selects something from the combo box. How do I adapt this so that the user can also leave the combo box blank and filter the report to return all records?Additionally, what if I want to have the user filter between dates selected on the form; i.e. between 'txtStart' and 'txtEnd'
I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
So i have made a query which filters the text you type in your text box on a form. This is working great, but then this morning I had some records that contain some blank fields. My query does not show those records even if they contain the same text that I would type in my search form.This is my expression in my query of one column:
Like [Forms]![searchform]![Qprojectomschrijving] & "*"
I have recently upsized an Access database to SQL Server. The .adp is for the most part working fine.
However, when an end user tries to create a duplicate record in one of the Primary key columns of a Form he gets a SQL Server error message as follows:
"Violation of Primary Key constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key in object myTable".
This is obviously not a very useful error message. What would be the best way to ensure that a more useful error message is returned?
I have considered adding code to the "After_Update" event of the cell in question. This however seems long winded. Is there an easier option?
Thanks

Hi
Have the following code that works on Access 2000
Dim myForenameBefore As String
Dim myForenameAfter As String
With CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Names", dbOpenDynaset)
Do Until .EOF
myForenameBefore = .Fields("Forename")
myForenameAfter = Replace(.Fields("Forename"), "Elizh", "Elizabeth")
MsgBox myForenameBefore & " " & myForenameAfter
.MoveNext
Loop
.Close
End With
So that I can replace any abbreviated names in a table, however I cannot figure out how to put the value of myForenameAfter back into the table replacing the existing data.
Must be particularly thick today
I have a form with a number of check boxes. Clicking on the checkboxes carries out a count function which is then displayed. If the count goes above 20 then a message box is displayed telling the user of it. My problem is that once the number is above 20, the message box diplays everytime. I want it to display just once, regardless of how high the number goes. The checkboxes can be ticked in any order.
At present i'm using
On click
If Me.Text1 > 20 Then
Msgbox "The number is graeter than 20"
End If
Hi all
The following code only half works. I want to stop an ugly error occuring when primary keys are duplicated. In the following code the error handler picks up and displays a simple message when a user attempts to add duplicate values. BUT if the users adds a record, the record is successfully added followed with the same error message. I think I've put the error handler in the wrong place, but I can't figure out where it should go. Any ideas are much appreciated.

I have a function button set up to filter my data, if I push the F8 button the filter displays and then enter my filter critera and push F9 this then displays my filtered search results. Once I am finnished with my results I would like to clear the filter so it does not appear in the field again. Once i close my form, or program the filter should be clear and then when I re-push f8 there should be nothing on the filter page. Is this possible?? How can I do this? Thanks

When I export my access database to XML I noticed that the XML elements for the table keys contain the key numbers themselves, not the table name (or a chosen field in the table). For an application I am working on, this presents a problem. What I have is:
One table called 'Process' that looks like:
Process instance_idSystem instance IdProcess name
26 24 Two_thread_process
I have another table called "Thread":
Thread _instance_id Process instance_Id Thread instance name
30 26 T1_instance
XML export looks like:
- <process_INSTANCE>
<process_instance_id>26</process_instance_id>
<system_instance_name_id>24</system_instance_name_id>
<process_instance_name>two_thread_process</process_instance_name>
- <thread_INSTANCE>
<Thread_instance_id>30</Thread_instance_id>
<process_instance_id>26</process_instance_id>
<thread_instance_name>T1_instance</thread_instance_name>
</thread_INSTANCE>
</process_INSTANCE>
What I would *like * the XML to look like is:
- <process_INSTANCE>
<process_instance_id>26</process_instance_id>
<system_instance_name_id>24</system_instance_name_id>
<process_instance_name>two_thread_process</process_instance_name>
- <thread_INSTANCE>
<Thread_instance_id>30</Thread_instance_id>
<process_instance_id>two_thread_process</process_instance_id> (**name instead of key here**)
<thread_instance_name>T1_instance</thread_instance_name>
<thread_instance_type>periodic</thread_instance_type>
</thread_INSTANCE>
The access XML export writes out the key values as they appear in the tables. What I would like is for it to put in the ‘process instance name’ instead of the key that points back to the base (process) field.
Any pointers on how I could do this?
Thanks

Does anyone have a recommended way to deal with images (ie. linked to file, OLE object embedded, others I'm not aware of)???
I have a report which summarizes the history of a project. In this report I have a subreport which has task information. As a user enters task information they have the option of associating pictures with the task (ie. prototypes, design images, test setup, etc).
So my data structure is based on:
- many projects
- each project can have many tasks
- each task can have many pictures
My report for each project lists some typical project information and a subreport shows the task details associated with that project along with as many images that are associated with it.
My current system links to files on a network to avoid database size. This works well for storage and form use, until I try to print or preview a report. Then some of my pictures don't show up and I get a message that says images may be too large. My report could conceivably have up to 100 images, but I'm images stop showing up when I have around 15-20 pictures. Pictures files are typically 300 KB.
Is there a better way to show images on a report?????
I have a form where the user enters a year then clicks on a command button to open a report.
If a year that there is no data for is entered an error 2427 occurs.
I have tried putting the following code in the on error event of the form with now success:
Select Case DataErr
Case 2427
MsgBox "There are no records for the year you entered" & Chr(13) & "Make sure you entered the correct year”
Response = acDataErrContinue
Case Else
Response = acDataErrDisplay
End Select
Does anyone know how to trap this error?
Thanks
Hi All,
I am rather new to this and I must admit I am getting everything completely wrapped around my head!
I am developing a database that stores technical support requests received and their solutions. I have three main tables :
Problem - stores all the details of the problems received
Client - stores the address details of the client which is then associated with the 'Problem' table
Company - stores the name of the company which is then associated with the 'Client' table. This is a separate table as different clients can work for the same company.
At present, I have a 'problem data entry' form in which I enter all the details of the problem. At the top there is a section where I can do a search for a particular client and company and the details appear in the respective text boxs on the 'problem data entry' form. If the client does not exist, I have a button that I use to open another form which allows the entry of the new client's details ('New Client'). The user can choose which company this client works for by using a combobox. If the company is not already in the database, I have another button for opening a 'New Company' form!
Its all a little convoluted and it does not work particularly well to be honest. When I add a new company, I need to move forward a record and then back in the 'New Company' form in order that the new company information is saved correctly.
The company selection combobox in the form 'New Client' is then updated with the new company name BUT I need to actually open the combobox and select the company name myself for it to work properly! Once again I also need to move forward one record and then back again in order to properly save all the information before I can close the form.
What would be nice is to do a search for the the company in the combobox on the 'New Client' form, if the company is not found, it automatically adds the company to the database whilst updating all the necessary links. Hence getting rid of the 'New Company' form. I would also like to get rid of the problem of having to move forwards a record and then back again.
Any ideas? I find my method to be rather poor, there must be a simpler way of doing this!
Many Thanks,
Lee
On a form i have a textbox to enter a date and multiple command buttons to open other forms.
After entering a date value, followed by either a tab or clicking on one of the command buttons, i want to validate the entered date value. If the date is invalid i want to display an error message and the cursor positioned on the textbox field.
The LostFocus event of the textbox is as follows:
Private Sub txtDateField_LostFocus()
If Not IsDate(txtDateField.Value) Then
MsgBox "Date invalid."
txtDateField.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
If entering an invalid date is followed by a tab, the error is displayed but the cursor is not positioned on the textbox field.
If entering an invalid date is followed by clicking on one of the command buttons, the error is displayed but the expected form is opened.
How to position the cursor appropriate and how to prevent opening the form?
Who helps?
