How Do I Change Data In Property Mode
Nov 11, 2004
I have created a form in access 2000. I now want to change the table that this form uses. Normally I would just click the properties tab and then select data, a list of all tables would come up and I would choose the correct table. For some reason I cannot access the data tab. The other four tabs are all availabe, but not the data tab. It is like the data is locked or something. I have clicked on properties on my desktop icon and it is not locked. Please help.

Hi Guys,
i have a problem i hope some one can help me with.
i have a form with a sub form on it, and i want to disable everything until the user clicks a 'edit' button to allow the information to be changed.
i am just testing it at the moment, so i set one text box's enabled property to false. then i added a button with an on click event with the following code:
Me!userid.Enabled = True
when i start the form, the userid box is disabled and when i click on the edit button, it enables it fine.
however, when i change to the next record, the userid box remains enabled. i cant find where to put the code to set it back to false everytime i change the record.
i should also let you know i am a beginner, so please be gentle!

We just upgraded to Office 2007 and are experiencing very slow access performance. This microsoft article addresses the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275085
It won't let me change Subdatasheet Name property to [NONE].
Even if I am able to change it, will this affect my table links. I have a lot of them.
I am just the part-time Access "programmer" here and am somewhat lost trying to figure this out. Does anyone have a simple explanation and solution? I would appreciate any help so much!!

Access 2003:
I have a query (qryGetRemoteStuff) like this:SELECT * FROM Table1 IN 'k:projectssomedatabase.mdb'I have several databases where i use this technique. I don't want to link these tables to my database.
According to the properties list, "Source Database" is used to store this path to my remote database.
So far so good.
When the path changes i am in a lot of trouble, that is why i want to change the path of this query dynamically. I don't seem able to change this property.
Is this possible? How?
Immediate window:
?currentdb.QueryDefs("qryGetRemoteStuff").Properties("SourceDatabase")Returns "Property not found". Access help F1 doesn't provide me with a workable example.

I am trying to change a field to be required. I know where it is...
(Navigation Pane > Design View > Select field I want required > Properties Pane > General Tab > set Required property to Yes)
But I don't see that General Tab at the bottom of my page.
The closest thing I have to properties is on the right-hand side. It opens when I right-click, then hit Properties. It displays...
Format | Data | Event | Other | All... but that's it...

I am using Access 2010. How to change the property of a field in a table programmatically.
I have a table in which one field has Required property set to "Yes". I would like to set this property by using VBA code to "No", then add data into a table using a query and re-set the Required property to "Yes".
Is this possible and if so, how can I do it?

when the Form Property "selectionchange" kicks in?I am trying to use this to run an event procedure. I have a sub form datasheet which contains a date, and when the selection is changed from one record to another in the sub form, I would like to run an event procedure that updates certain fields on the main form, according to the date.I have put msgbox in the event procedure, but it doesn't trigger when the selection is changed? or am I misunderstanding the property?I have also tried got focus, lostfocus, beforeupdate, but they only trigger when the record is changed, not just when the selection is changed.

I have a form with a subform where I want to select (via button) which format to open the form in. Opening the form is simple, DoCmd.OpenForm (FormName),acFormDS to open in datasheet, however, the subform opens in default view (single form). Can you programmatically set the property on the subform to change the Default View from Single Form to Datasheet and back?

I have stumbled across an issue in my report involving the Report.SourceObject property. The section of the report contains a subreport that needs to change dynamically to display the report that relates to the corresponding test. When trying to change the subreports.Sourceobject property I get the error Run-time error 2191: You cant set the Source Object Property in the print preview or after printing has started.This is very clear to me what the limitation is, however I was wondering if there was some way around this.
I have currently tried creating multiple subreports that are stacked on each other with visible property set to false. Then I change the specific subreport visible property base of a select. This worked, but was extremely hard on the machine and printer as there is about 15 different possible subreports.
Secondly I have tried exporting it to RTF and just manually copying and pasting the tables. The down side with this is all the formatting and work I have put into the report as a whole goes out the window so if possible would like to avoid this situation as well.

I want to use the same form in datasheet mode for data entry and retrieval. When retrieving, all controls are disabled and locked. I am trying to enable and unlock them for modifying but that isn't working.

DoCmd.OpenForm "PO_Practice Data", , , , acFormEdit, acHidden
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Locked = False
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Locked = False
[code]...

I have a form containing a subform. The subform is opened in data entry mode, so it displays no existing records. However if the user right-clicks the form and selects a sort, all records are displayed. Is there any way to stop this behavior so that the form remains in data entry mode?

I have a form that launches a query. The results are displayed in a continuous form called ParentForm. On the ParentForm is a combobox which selects a singleform called a ChildForm that displays the details of the selected record. I placed a command button on the ChildForm. This button simulates a circular triple state toggle switch. By clicking this switch the form goes from ReadOnly to Edit to Add modes. The form properties AllowEdits , Allow Additions and DataEntry are adjusted accordingly. These properties when they are changed seem to initiate requery of the underlying data source. Here is the code. I am looking for a way to avoid requery of the data when the mod is changed.
Code:
Private Sub ModeBt_Click()
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Circular toggle button to change display mode of the form
' ReadOnly - Edit - Add
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select Case Me.Mode
Case "Edit Mode"
Me.AllowEdits = False
[code]....

I am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form
2346 location warehouse price 29.99 (button - green)
2347 location shop price 29.99 (button - red)

I 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?

I'm using Access 2002 and need to increase some field sizes, some by increasing the maximum number of characters and others by changing from Text to Memo. When I try to do this I get the message "Microsoft Access cannot change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory"
I have two 320GB hard drives and 4GB of RAM and the Access file is a mere 280MB. Can anyone please explain the problem and tell me how to achieve my objective?

I finally found and eliminated all duplicate entries in my tblStoreProducts table, so that I could create a 2-field Index called UniqueProduct that would prevent duplicate entries. Without it, uploading information from Excel (not the preferred method) would result in duplicated entries in this table which would ultimately reflect in the Hazardous Materials reports that must be submitted to the fire marshal.
Today I was going through data entries in the Product table and noticed some that are STILL coming up with the UPC (a text field) in Scientific Notation.
I know that I have to change the information in the linked table tblStoreProducts first. The most simple way would be to just change the UPC of the product in that table to the correct UPC. It shouldn't be causing a problem, because it doesn't create a duplicate record. I'm getting the error "The text you entered isn't an item in the list" now that I've created that index.
I changed the index to Unique = No and still get the same error.
I removed the index all together...still get the same error.
I'm making the changes directly in the BE database right now. If I can't enter information directly, the forms aren't going to work either.

Hi,
I am trying to import an excel spreadsheet into Access2000 using the import wizard.
I choose my XLS file, I say whether or not the first row contains headings, (no is the anwser).
Then I want to change some of the fields to data type of memo from text, but all I can see if Field 1 and data type option is blanked out.
If I click or double click on another field it doesn't change.
so I cannot change the datatype of a field..
do you know why, and how I can fix this ?
The reason I want to do this is one of the rows in excel has 300 characters, and the text field in access only allows 255.
regards,
Jamie

Here is my problem:
I created a Query to calculate an over all rateing useing other data that was already in the database. The Query worked out perfectly, and I then wanted to put the one field that gave me the overall rateing that I just calculated and put it into a form. So I added the Query with the rateing into the one that made up the other form and added the field to the Query. The problem was that when i went into that form and added the field, it made it so that i could no longer change any of the data on that forum. I thought that it might have something to do with the fact that there were no fields with math in them in that form untill i added the over all rateing one, could that have messed it up? Please send me some seggestions because I havent a clue at what could be worng. Thank you, Ben

quick question. If i run a query and change some data in the query will in also change the data in the table? I tried it and it in fact did. If this really does work I don't think it should be allowed to functionally do that since people can easily mess up the data in the table.
