Help Needed With A Form
Apr 18, 2006
Hi,
I have a quick question that i need to get some help with.
In a form, there is two comboboxes and a textbox. The textbox is disabled and locked because nobody is allowed to enter data to it. It contains the value which is from the result of choosing the two comboboxes.
example;
in table "Project"
Name Subject Score
michael IPA32 80
.
.
CB=combo box
from the dropdown, CB1 = "michael", CB2 = "IPA32". Then 80 will appear in textbox. However, there is some cases where the score doesn't exist or null (not found in the table). Is there a way to check on the spot if the textbox is empty or not as soon as CB1 and CB2 have been selected. At the moment, i use the form_beforeupdate to check the textbox. If it is, cancel is true. the whole form disappears which i don't want it to happen.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Apologies if the answers are very simple, I'm a wee bit of an Access newbie!
I have created a form with which I am going to record gym attendances for my members in my members table. When I do this it will update a table 'gymattendance' which stores the information about price paid, date, memberID etc.
My first problem is that despite 'tblgymattendance' being linked to 'tblmembers', when I go to record a gym visit in my form, it will only allow me to enter new members, rather than select current members to record a visit. How do I get around this?
Once I get that sorted, I need the form to then send that record in its entirity to a new table, 'tbltakings,' which stores information on all the gym sessions attended to calculate total moneys taken from those sessions. I have been unable to find a way add records to 'tbltakings.'
If the latter is not possible, would a simple update query work to add to a field of 'totaltakings,' in 'tbltakings' ?
Many thanks in advance this is really starting to get on my nerves!!!

I've developed a pretty simple form with a few combo boxes, text fields etc. I need to put this on the web so that my colleagues can access it logging new forms etc. As this is new to me I've followed the instructions as per my Access for Dummies manual. This advises that you have to save thte form as a data access page...unfortunately it's not working. The form works fine on my desktop. I've saved it as an Access Data Page but the end result seems to have disabled the combo boxes and an autonumbered field. I thought this might be as some fields were unbound so created a new form based on a table but this won't save as an Access Data Page at all and throws up the error message 'MS Access is unable to create the data access page
the file does not exist or you do not have read access to the file'. Clearly the file does exist and as far as I can see I have full administrative rights to it.
What am I doing wrong?? Can I use this method to publish to the web? If not what do I need to do? Is Access indeed the best method?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Great forum guys! Just had to join it :)
I've been doing Access for just under 2 weeks now, so far I'm doing ok, but I've just run into 2 problems. I hope someone can help me on them.
The first problem is on a query. I have a Column called "Type" in my query and the choices under Type could be RECEIPT, REJECT, BOTH
(BTW: BOTH should show all records RECEIPT and REJECT)
By using case statements as shown below, i can easily return records for RECEIPT and REJECT, however, i cannot get BOTH to work
The criteria i have set for TYPE in my query is,
[forms]![frm_Vendor]![opta] OR [forms]![frm_Vendor]![opta] Is Null
Case 1
opta.Value = "RECEIPT"
stDocName = "rep_search"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
Case 2
opta.Value = "REJECT"
stDocName = "rep_search"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
Case 3
opta.Value = " "
stDocName = "rep_search"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
Case 3 does not work. with " " . So what do i do here to show Both records?
My second problem is with the reports opened with the above Case code. The search routine (apart from Both) work fine. It finds the records i ask of it and it opens a report to show them, however, there are instances where no records are found, and the report still opens!!. In my search form, what code can i use to test my query for "null" data before
it even gets a chance to open the report?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm sure this is simple and I searched the forum but I was unable
to find an answer so..please help! (btw, newbie here);)
I have two tables with a 1 to many relationship.
I have two forms based on each table.
Table1 has a key field called ECO.
Table2 has two key fields, ECO and ItemNumber.
When I have form1 open I use a button to 'pop up' form2.
Form2 shows only records that have ECO value = to Form1.ECO value.
When I create a new record on form2 I would like to have form2.ECO
auto filled with form1.ECO value. This is where I'm stuck!:confused:
Btw, I cant use a subform, already have too many!
Thanks!

I have a table that containes: Member#, FirstName, LastName, CompanyName, etc. Multiple entries can be in the table for each Member#. On my form when a Member# is entered, if that # is already in the table, I would like for the form to autofill the FirstName, LastName, and CompanyName fields from the table. This is added protection to be sure the Member# typed is correct. If the # is not already in the table, then nothing will autofill. I am not new to Access...but my knowledge is not above "3rd grade". Can someone help with this problem, or can it even be done on the form?
Thanks, Linda

I need to have a form which has a series of blank text boxes on it.
I then need a subform, that has all of the text boxes as above, in datasheet layout.
I then want to be able to type values into the text boxes on the main form, and have the user then click a button. If any records exist with the values that have been typed in, they should be listed on the sub form.
If the main part of the form had combo boxes then that would also be good.
Finally, I want the user to be able to double click on one of the rows that have been found, and for this data to be loaded into a third form.
Is this possible? Could someone help me out, by maybe linking me to a source that will help me, by explaining how to do it, or maybe by letting me know where i can get a sample database that does this sort of thing.
Thanks very much.

Some of my collegues have been experiencing this problem with a very simple database i knocked up for them. First off some background. I have a main form (frmproperty) with 3 subforms linked to it(frmroomdata, frmlocation and frmsample). by a property code. Two of these subforms are linked (frmlocation and frmsample) these are linked by location code which is an autonumber.
These are laid out so that you fill in room data first, then location data then finally sample data. However after the location data has been filled out and a user attempts to move to the first combobox on the sample subform a message pops up saying that another user has altered the database and would you like to save changes (Impossible as they are using the database on a local drive). After this happens they reopen the form and in all the frmsample fields is "#deleted"
This doesn't happen every time...infact over the last 2 days i have been entering data myself to try and get this error with no luck. Has anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Hi i am having problem creating a query that will pull the price of a property into the price field on to a booking order form depending on the values of the start date and property number enter onto the same form.
i have a two tables property price and booking order.
Fields in the property price are property price no, property no, start date, end date and price.
Fields in the booking order table are booking no, property no, start date, end date, cost, no of days, total cost.
When in the booking order form i need the query to get the price from the property price table matching on the property no i've selected on the booking order form and also the start date i've entered on the booking order form needs to be between the start and end date fields in the property price table.
This is the query i have created but doesn't work
SELECT [Property Price].Price
FROM [booking order] INNER JOIN [Property Price] ON [booking order].[Property No] = [Property Price].[Property No]
WHERE ((([forms]![booking order subform]![start date]) Between [property price].[start date] And [property price].[end date]) AND (([Property Price].[Property No])=[forms]![booking order subform]![property no]));
Thanks for your help

Please help. My inability to achieve this is very frustrating.
I have a tabular form based on a query, which returns a large number of records. I need users to be able to filter the records to display data relating to what they have entered in a number of combo boxes.
For example I have fields showing Product ID, Manufacturer ID, Purchase Order number and due date. Each of these fields has a corresponding unbound combo box where users can select values that appear in the table. I need to be able to filter the form based on what is in these combo boxes. I.e. Filler for a product ID to show all purchase orders numbers and due dates relating to that product ID or filter for a manufacturer ID and due date to show all Product IDs and purchase orders relating to that a manufacturer and date.
Ideally this would be achieved by pressing a command button.
The query, table and combo boxes are all built and work fine but I am unable to get the filter to work, I am using Access 97 and am not very familiar with visual basic. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I hope I can explain this clearly.
I have a subform that has a lot of information and I was wondering
if there is a way to make the subform appear as if one turned up the
resolution, thus making it's contents smaller, allowing me to pack more info
in it. I would love to leave the size of the main form alone.
I'm using Access 2000.
The sub form is currently displayed as datasheet.

I have a form set up where user's type in an explanation of how a claim is being appealed and resolved in a memo field.
One problem, for some reason management doesn't want these explanations to end with a period. But the users keep ignoring our request and keep using the period.
Is there a way that you can code this memo field to where it will allow punctuation throughout, except at the end?

Hello Everyone,
I am in the final stages of creating a database for school coursework however I am having a few problems with a few features; any help would be much appreciated.
The database itself is meant to manage / keep are record of utility bills, it consists of two tables: Invoice and Company.
Problem 1.
In the Invoice table there are two fields called Date Due and Date Received the data type is Date/Time, how do I create a validation rule so that Date Due must be after 'Date Received' and vies versa?
Problem 2
I want each record in the database to store an image of a scanned invoice, and the main form called Transaction to show a preview image of the invoice. Much of the code I used is borrowed from the Access Northwind sample database, after some initial success I had to redesign the 'Transaction' form where the picture was shown and now I get the error message:
‘Run-time error 2135, this property is read-only and cannot be set’
I think I know what is causing the error but I have had no luck fixing it, if someone could help me that would be excellent.
Problem 3
Once I get the Transaction form to properly store and display a preview image of an invoice, I want to add a button that opens the image in an external window(ie MSPaint).
Currently my only success has been to add a button on the form that launches MSPaint (you have to manually open the image in MSPaint.)
Again, if someone could help me sort this out it would be excellent.
Sorry if my problems aren’t clear or well explained.
I have spent many hours looking for answers to my problems in forums, Access help files etc…
My computing tutor has little (no) experience with Access so he has been unable to help, hopefully the people on this forum have the expertise.
I am happy to email you my database if you need it to help me with problems 2&3.
Thanks in ALOT advance :)

I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.

I have a multiple user access database on share drive with user-security level created. I created myself as administrator, and remove default Admin from Admin group. Removed permission from user group and joined workgroup file which I created as "MBS work group.mdw". I created shortcut on user's computer. I believe the syntax is correct
"C:Program FilesOffice 2003OFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS Work Group.mdw" "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS.mdb"
Everything works fine. When I directly double click the database (MBS.mdb), it pops up a login box. However, when other user double clicks the database directly (not from shortcut) from their station, login window doesn't pop up. It allows them to access the database. I saw the work group file used default System.mdw
My question is how can I restrict them by double clicking the database without go through shortcut? Why my database security not protect user access without give user name and password. I tried by joined user’s work group file to MBS work group.mdw. It works, but I don’t want let user manually to do that one by one.
Is there anybody can help me go through this problem?

Hi,
I am fairly new to DB's and have been trying to get my head round a database I want to build. I have had a few pointers from other people on here which has helped etc.
I was wondering if anyone out there would mind helping me with this project. I will go into detail if anyone is interested. I am hoping that someone would let me add them to messenger so when I get stuck etc, I could drop them a quick note. I am not going to harrass you every minute of the day (I promise not to try to anyway :D ). I would like to work with someone so I dont have to keep explaining it to someone different each time.
If this is something that someone wouldnt mind doing, please, please, please let me know.
Many thanks
Jamie

So far I haven’t got help on my DB.
I am attaching my DB.
The DB has two tables: DiaryTable & RBCaseTable
I want to resolve two issues on this DB
First issue: The DyNo field will start from No.1 on new year (DMax function). Since there will be duplicate records with the same DyNo for every year, I want to filter the records year-wise. For the current year, I should be able to do data entry, edit, search, print etc. For the previous year’s records, no data entry should be allowed and only search and print to be allowed.
Second issue: Two fields in both the tables are same i.e. DyNo and Remarks. I want this to be linked. What I want to do is that after I open ‘frmRBCaseAdd’ when I type the DyNo, the form should show the ‘Remarks’ field of DiaryTable so that I could update/edit.
I know nothing about VBA coding etc. Whatever codes I put in this DB was obtained from this forum and I simply made changes to suit my requirements. However, I failed to get help on these two issues. I shall be grateful if you could kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

I need help please.
1. I have a [CmdBtn] to do some calculation on the first day of every month.(The Btn and calculation code are ready and working).
2. On clicking, the [CmdBtn] will look for [FieldTotal] entry. If no entry, it will execute.(This code is also fine and working).
3. While executing the command, it will populate the [FieldTotal] automatically so that second clicking of [CmdBtn] will take no action and the populated field will tell the user that calculation is already done.(Code for auto-populating is also fine and working)
4. On the last day of the month, the [FieldTotal] entry will be deleted.(Here also the code works fine.).
I have two tables Table1 & Table2. I have the form for Table1. The [FieldTotal] is in Table2. I inserted a TextBox in form and tried to link it to Table2.FieldTotal throu Data-ControlSource, but it is not working. When I open the form ‘#Name?’ appears in the [FieldTotal]. I tried changing the field property to Text and then Number. In both options, I get the same ‘#Name?’.
Interestingly, when I leave the text box as it is without linking it to Table2, the [FieldTotal] in my form appears blank. Here I am able to populate the [FieldTotal]. But when I exit and reopen the form, the text box is again blank.
Please guide me (1) in linking the Table2.[FieldTotal] to my text box in form (which is based on Table1) or (2) how to keep the text box entry permanent till the end of the month.
