Hi
I am getting fed up of repeatedly modifying the basic new form in Access 2003 since I hate Tahoma and I never want dividing lines and I always want the VBA to be Option Explicit and I have my own ideas on colour schemes etc. etc.
Every new form I enter I have to make all the changes manually and simply wondered if I am being an ass. I can modify templates in Word and Excel so if I could do the same thing in Access I could save myself cumulative hours of work.
I cannot seem to find anything so does everyone else bow to what Microsoft think a form should look like or do you all do what I do and endlessly recreate the same starting point for each form???
Any pointers would be 110% wonderful!!
Best wishes
I've built a system with around 20 tables in it. All of these use the standard ID field offered by default by Access as the primary key. A friend with a background in database design and development for large corporates using Oracle has reviewed the database (he is going to do some VBA programming for me) and suggested that we use more appropriate primary keys based on data attributes.
He has read "somewhere" that there are problems with the standard ID fields and that occasionally the fields are renumbered/reindexed and that this can cause problems. There are a fair number of queries and some complex forms which will need to be updated for these changes but it would be a shame to go through all this work if it isn't really.
Should we use the standard Access IDs and is it worth a chunk of effort to change from where we are now?
:rolleyes: I have a note field in a table for short description of a building parts. Is it posseble to make some standard text in a form with a "values" between the text to choose from? Like: This building is from "text field for input" The roof is made of "a combobox with 4-5 items to choose from".
The standard text with the choosen values should then be sent to a note field at submit.
Like: This building is from 1945 The roof is made of tegl
I have been using a table with queries with no problems. Now the queries wont recognize the last two records of the table when doing a Count. there are no null or empty spaces. I am using the drop down access standard menu to place the "Count" command. Is there a solution to this problem ?
I have generated a standard form for displaying/editing of data and I have also created a form for generating Sql query statements (The form builds a string but does not execute the query). Can I execute a query and use it with that form.
So when I generate the the SQL statement and execute the query it loads the form (With Data) instead of a query datasheet. Thank you.
I have been successfully using the following statement in Access 2010 to retrieve data from a large csv relational database:
SELECT [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM FROM 1995_1 INNER JOIN 1995_2 ON [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM = [1995_2].RPT_REC_NUM GROUP BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM HAVING ((([1995_2].WKSHT_CD)="A000000") AND (Not ([1995_2].LINE_NUM)="09500") AND (([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0100" Or ([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0200")) ORDER BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_2].LINE_NUM;
This query returns one long column of line numbers (LINE_NUM) representing the itemized salary (CLMN 0100) and non-salary expenses (CLMN 0200) and a total for each of the organizations represented in the data base. My question is: is it possible to modify the query so that it returns only organizations whose data passes that following test that checks to see if the itemized line numbers 00100 to 10099 equal the total for each organizations line 10100: SUM(LINE_NUM 00100:10099)=SUM(LINE_NUM 10100:10100).
I have tried several times to upload a sample file but have been prevented from doing so because of a missing security token. I have communicated this to the administrator.
I am trying to create a form on Infopath 2007 based on a table in access 2007. I want my users to be able to fill in this form and submit it back to me in such a way that it will directly populate the table in the database. I know I can do this. However, I am unable to modify the infopath that access 2007 creates from the table. I want to change the date format. By default it takes up the date as "date and time" and I want it to be the date only.
i am very rookie with access.. infact i am doing my first project in access for a friend.. here is my doubt...
this frnd has toy making business.. he wants to keep track of this inventory... i have made one table (ItemId(PK), Item descripstion, noOff, parentItem(FK), stock).. noOff is the no of child items required for a particular parent item..
now i have to run a query to get all the items which have same parentItem.. for this i designed a form... have put 3 text boxes and a subform.. one to accept the parentItem.. 2nd to display its description.. 3rd one to accept no of parent items which i wud be the multiplying factor for the child item noOff.. (default is one..)
now i can retrive the parentItem id.. from the form and use it in the WHERE clause...
SELECT ItemData.ItemID, ItemData.ItemDescription, ItemData.noOff FROM ItemData WHERE (((ItemData.ParentItem)=[Forms]![Display Product Data]![txtProdId]));
but i want to retive the value in the No off: box and multiply it to all the child item's no off...
i have tried to multiply ItemData.noOff with [Forms]![Display Product Data]![txtNoOff] but did not got the desired results....
i need help with this... or if u know ne other way to do it... plese post a reply... thanks...
I have a form where a user will enter a 11 digit number (12345043456). Using ASP (VB) this string of numbers queries an access database and returns the entry for that specific number to the user.
Unfortunately, the numbers in the access table are an 11 digit number with hyphens seperating the string like this 12345-04-3456 (the ndc # of a pharmaceutical).
So What i need is some code that monitors and modifies the form input so that the hyphens are added in to the string when the user is inputting the data.
If i cannot do this, then is there some VB that I can add which modifies the field in the text file when it is imported into access on a daily basis.
Hello, exactly how Access 2002 and SQL operate is still a bit fuzzy to me.
In brief: tableAccounts has fields for Signatory1ID and Signatory2ID, and other stuff tableSignatories has ID for a primary key and has SignatoryTypeID as a field tableSignatoryTypes has ID for a primary key and SignatoryType as a field
For each account, on a Form I want to show the Signatory and SignatoryType info for both signatory1 and signatory2. I have tried creating various queries and INNER JOINing the tables and/or queries together, but whenever I manage to get all the information displayed, none of it is editable. Access seems to lock the various text boxes and combo boxes.
Where in Access 2010 I can modify the displayed fields of a Combo Box on a form. I need to format the display window and add criteria to one of the fields. Can't remember where I set this up and recently upgrading from Access 2007 isn't working.
Pls. help!!!, the attached document is the application I want to programmatically control the data entry:
1.) Parent Form is unbounded fields, and set a record source in my table "BidTabTransaction". If I want to retrieve record, I just populate the table by querydef and sql into recordset and put all the table fields into form fields. The same thing if I want to save the record, and edit the record in the form.
2.) My problem is the child form. I set a record source in my table "BidTab Details". I set the child form to allowaddition=Yes; data entry=No;Allowdeletion=No;AllowEdits=No then it just simply display the records which is equal to Bid Tab No. because it is bounded the form fields into record source fields of "BidTabDetails" Table.
How could I retrieve a record from parent form and display the details in the child form in both unbounded form fields? (FrmBidTabTransaction & FrmBidTabDetails)
I would be grateful if someone out there attends immediately with my problem because I am in deadlock deadline to submit at least a partial running application. Thank you for your kindness...
Will be waiting. You can email me at jrb_ph@yahoo.com. God Bless!!!
I am trying to create a customizable report that would allow the users to choose fields. I have a pretty common code that I found online and adapted it, but it fails on the first SetReportControl function.
The error reads: Run-time error 2465: Application-defined or object-defined error
Could it be something as simple as an incorrect reference? I have checked multiple times, but I am stumped.
Code: Option Compare Database Option Explicit Sub MakeReport()
[Code].....
This is a trial run, in the end I need to be able to open a report, then adjust the Report controls within 1 or more subreports inside the main report. That is a battle for another day.
I have a form which has a button to email the data out in a standard email message.
Private Sub Command60_Click() Dim MyDb As dao.Database Dim rsEmail As dao.Recordset Dim sToName As String Dim sSubject As String Dim sMessageBody As String
[code]...
This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.
I'm wondering how other members here make decisions whether they want to place codes behind form or use a standard module instead.
I understand there is a performance penalty when you add another module (and use it), but am not sure whether one big fat module would be faster than several smaller modules with identical coding.
Furthermore, I know that some members use a hidden form to deal with startup and shutdown processing. Sometimes the processing has nothing to do with forms and would make more sense in a standard module, but since the form is already loaded, does it makes more sense to use the module behind the form than calling a function in a separate standard module to execute the needed code?
In one record (or row?) there I have 10 fields (columns), how can i find the standard deviation of those 10 numbers. Seems to only want to be able to do standard deviation if all data is in one field or column. I tried doing a query but same thing, if all the fields are across, it doesatn find the standard deviation of them. Please help this worthless access user. Thank you, I look foward to all the help I can get. As you can see, I still am struggling with even terminology. Excel is easy to me, access is a challenge to say the least.
the standard value for the yes/no datatype = no..I try to set the standard value to yes but I can not be allowed for yes ? how do I set it to yes ? I have open the table, then I could not change to yes.
I have a combo box which is used to find a record on the form. I have set LimitToList = Yes and put in code for the event NotInList.
My problem is that my code is working fine allowing me to produce my own message, but then the standard message appears as well saying "The text you entered is not an item in the list"
From a form build a report using standard paragraphs using a combo or list box . Paragraphs may vary in length but must format correctly on the report. NO SPACES MUST BE LEFT BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS. Also the form must allow editing of the standard paragraph. ie where there is perhaps a change of name etc: ALSO is it possible to exceed the 255 characters in a text box ?
I know that a public constant is available to all subs and modules. I also know that you can only declare these in a module, you can't for example declare these in the form.
So how what is the best way of declaring them?
At the moment I just have a module that has nothing else except for the 3-4 constants that I use throughout all my forms. Is that ok?
I need to restrict the random autonumber feature to 10 digits and a positive number for a primary key. I work in the medical field, and HIPAA privacy regulations require the use of random ID numbers to identify records. Also, I need the numbers to be positive numbers because we will be using barcode scanning equipment and the possibility of truncating the negative identifier creates the possibility (admittedly remote) of having a duplicate PK barcodes. I understand that we cannot change the Access feature, but any VBA code to generate a truly random 10 digit positive number I can use as a PK?
I am trying to create a query that filters results only outside of 1 standard deviation of the mean. Is there an option for this in the criteria spot? I'm fairly new to Access and I'm not sure if I can reference a particular cell in the criteria.
I am filling in a database using forms, and I would like to be able to add standard values to any field using a macro/VBA code I don't want to set up a different macro for each field though - I have around 40 different fields (to elaborate, it's a mark database for student projects, each field is a different thing I am commenting on. I want to quickly add 'Missing' or 'Good' to a field - but I also want the option of free text instead.).can't figure how to do it in MS Access.
I have a form (linked to a table). I have 'txtBoxA' and 'txtBoxB'. Now, each record will have different values in 'txtBoxA' and based on that value 'txtBoxB' will change for that specific record. In the 'OnLoad' event for the form I type the code, but when I re-open the form it only works for the 1st record, and it doesn't change all the rest (records). Do I need a loop to go through all the records?? I thought that this was done automatically by ACCESS. If I have to use a loop, can anyone please give me the exact syntax?
Please, this is really urgent so I would really appreciate an answer asap Thank you very much.
