How Can I Show Switchboard Only (i.e Access Doesn't Appear To Be Open)
Jul 19, 2005Hi,
Does anyone know if I can just show the switchboard only so that it looks like a program, or if I can use an existing MDB to create an .exe??

Modules & VBA :: Switchboard Form Doesn't Work
May 27, 2014I have developed a project in Access 2003 and it works absolutely fine. There is a switchboard form too and that works fine as well. But now in our company we are moving all the projects developed in 2003 to 2010. And so I have noticed the switchboard form doesn't work in Access 2010 the way it works in 2003. The Switchboard form doesn't display all the options in 2010.

Aug 19, 2005Hi.
I have a subform (based on table "Source") that allows the user to create a new record in another table "Events" (it copies some entries to facilitate entering new data). The data should then be dispayed in another subform. However, the newly created redord is does not show in the subform although I use Me.Refresh. When I close the form and then open it again it works - but there has to be an easier way.
How can I reload the data from the table. I have looked but am unable to find the right method.
The code:
'Create New Record in Table Events
Call AddEvent(EventDate, Country)
'This function opens the table and adds a record
'Open Subform
DoCmd.GoToControl "subfrm_events"
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
Me.Refresh
Help would be much appreciated!
My Record Doesn't Show Up When I Add It
Mar 27, 2006I was having trouble adding my records to my subform. I think it was going into my main form, which is unbound. When I removed the navigation bars from my main form and added them back to my subform, I lost my records that i had. They are still in my table, but not showing in my subform. How do I get them in there?

Nov 29, 2004In my website I've created a admin login with some ASP pages to edit and update stories.
I use an acces database and installed HTMLarea for WYSIWYG editing.
When I update text, all the HTML tags show als plain text in my website.
For example: I make a headline bold in my wysiwig editor and I update my text, it just shows: <B> here's a new story </B>
If I look in my database I have a field 'text' wich is a memofield and I can see the html tags have been stored into my database. <B>here's a new story</B>
It looks like it doesnt recognize the html tags as HTML, but just as plain text...
Can I use HTML-tags in an acces database and how do I get them to show up right in my website?
Forms :: Form Name Switchboard Is Misspelled Or Refers To A Form That Doesn't Exist

Tab Control Is Set To Transparent But Background Doesn't Show Through
Aug 31, 2006I have some tab controls, which for some reason show up white.
I have set their back style to transparent but it doesn't seem to show the grey Windows colour of the background form.
Any ideas why ?
AT the moment I'm having to put grey rectangles in various places to cover this up, which is obviously not ideal.

View 4 Replies View RelatedForm With Subform Doesn't Show Totals Unless Keyed
Aug 2, 2007I have an application that has two tables, linked on a common key. The main data entry form is for invoices, and has a sub-form for parts used. A similar report/sub-report is used for reporting. Everything is fine for records that are entered via the form. My problem is that when I import data from other sources ( consolidation process ) the calculations are not performed. So when those records are displayed no totals appear until I click on a control that drives the calculations. I don't want to store totals in the database but I need to have them reflected on the viewed form without operator intervention. Otherwise I'm open to incorrect decisions when the operator doesn't notice that an invoice doesn't reflect the cost of parts used.I'm looking for a "one-time" process that I can invoke after loading new data that would "touch" each record (ideally each "new" record but there's no impact to re-calculating existing ones) and drive the calculations so that the viewed form is correct.It doesn't need to be "easy" or automated since the end users won't do it, only myself as part of the data consolidation.Any ideas?Thanks
View 14 Replies View RelatedCustomer ID Doesn't Show Up Correctly In A Query Or Table
Oct 11, 2004When I open one of my tables or queries and look at the customer Id, the displayed info is a single digit. On my customers table my primary key is the customer Id with auto number with the format like this: "ID"000. This is great however, when you look up the customer id in other tables it only displayes the single digit. I want it to show up like ID001 or ID002. In the customers tables it looks just like that, but if you click in that cell/field it takes away the ID and just shows the 001 or 002. I changed the format in my other tables under customer id to "ID000" but that didn't seem to make a difference. I would like to be able to do a search lets say by customer ID in one of my products table and when I type ID005 or ID012 it takes me to those records. But right now I would have to enter 5 or 12. Datatype in my other tables on field customer ID is set to text. Do I have to do a validation rule? How can I get it to show up the way I want it?

How To Get Switchboard To Show Users When Data Was Last Updated
Jun 13, 2014I maintain a shared database that I would like other users to be able to see when the data was last updated when they open it so that they can see how up to date the information is from the switchboard.
Currently I am doing this manually by updating the date in a label on the switchboard header, but ideally I would like to add a final action to my update macro (that imports new data into the database) that would automatically do this for me on completion if possible.
Queries :: New Record Added To Table But Doesn't Show Up In Query
Aug 4, 2014I have a database used to track my personal assignments, created about six years ago using Access 2003 on Windows XP. Recently upgraded to Access 2010 on Windows 7. At some point thereafter, I started having the following issue:
When a new record is created, that record gets added to the table, but doesn't show-up in any query, form, or report until after another new record has been added. The most recently added record cannot be located to view or update, except in the table, until after another new record has been added to the table. Queries, forms, & reports now always lag behind by one record.
None of the queries, forms, or reports tested contain filters. I have several multi-user databases that I also support and none of those users have reported having this problem. This is only happening on my personal database.
I've re-created this database once or twice in the past to resolve other issues, but would like to avoid that route this time around, if possible.
Forms :: Field Doesn't Show Full Length Of Record

The form is showing full length of the text but when I look it in the table, it has just one or two bits of the full length.

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Form Doesn't Open At Top Of Page
Apr 8, 2013I have a main form that opens on an autoexec macro.When ever i open up the database the form opens but for some reason it always opens a little way down the page so that you cant see the top and have to scroll back up to the top.
This is rather annoying because i have a tab control and it means you cant click the tabs until you move it back up.
Forms :: Form Sometimes Doesn't Open To Foreground
Mar 27, 2013We work with Access 2003 and on like 5 out of the 30 machines this problem occurs. When you open a form it sometimes does not open to the foreground, when u alt-tab out of it and go back or just press the windows key en then back on access it seems to refresh the page and showing the one that you have opened.
The weird thing about this is that it seems completely random at which forms and at what time it happens. I have encountered this problem on my own machine maybe 2-3 times in 3 months. The 2 other machines encounter this problem daily.
I have noticed that when I changed the Windows scheme to Classic view the problem occurred a lot less then before. We first thought it had something to do with the speed, but since we moved our database to SQL Server and our application runs very smoothly this problem was still there.
Forms :: Data Entry - How To Show Current Date That Doesn't Change The Next Day

I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?

Possible To OPEN Switchboard Again When A Form Is Closed
Mar 15, 2013I would like to have the Switchboard I created open when the database is selected. I used Tools/Startup to set this up. It works to a point. The database window opens and THEN the Switchboard opens (on top of the database window). There are some who I wish not to see the database navigation window). Also, is it possible to OPEN the switchboard again when a Form is closed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOpen Filtered Form From Unbound Switchboard
Feb 3, 2005I get the feeling I'm really missing something glaringly obvious here but I'm struggling.....
I have a combo box on my switchboard that looks up field txtOfficer in a query and then want it to open up a new form containing only those records relating to the officer name selectedtxtOfficer
The rowsource for the combo is:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [qryMain].[txtName] FROM [qryMain];
and the on click event is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmFiltered", , , "[txtName] = " & Me.cmbOfficer.Column(0), acFormEdit
When I select a name from the combo I get a parameter box and have to type in the name to open up the filtered records form. How can I get rid of it so the selection is one seamless process? :confused:
Subform In A Form Doesn Show Controls When Link Child And Master Fields Derfined
Jun 13, 2005Hello,
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
Thanks,
Aleksander
