my tab control contains several pages and each page contains several
controls. i set each control it's control source. but i couldn't find the
record source in the Tab Control Page Property. because of that problem i
couldn't see any records displaying in it's controls.
Answer for this problem is greatly appriciated....!
Hi,
I have just split up a table into tables so that has interfered with the form I had created for it. I have 2 main tables:
tblDrawingRegister:
DrawingNum
DrawingName
tblRevision:
Drawing num
Revision
LatestIssueDate
OrderNum
I split them up because there was alot of dublication. One drawing can have many different revisions. So I think it was better to split it up like this?
Anyways the form allows the user to add this information so some of the controls are bound to one form and the others to another. I know that I could do a query to combine the two tables but is that the best way to do it from an optimisation/ good database design point of view?
From a layout point of view I would prefer not to use a subform.
Thanks for your time,

owner details,
animal details, and

My scenario is that I am using a one time table that is a copy of my real transaction table (called GLAcTranLine) to enter general ledger transactions. Both my form and my sub-form are unbound. The form is called GLFI50 and the sub form is called GLFI50TranSub on disk and inside the main form. That is, both the sub form and its description inside the form (in the label that appears when I build the sub form with the wizard) bear that name.
So in the load for the main form I carry out these job steps.
1. I take a "No Data" copy of the transaction table GLAcTranLine, to get the structure. That works fine. The name I give to it is prefaced with GLFI50 and ends with a random number. That works fine too.
2. I insert a blank record into the new table. That also works fine.
3. Assign the control source to the Sub form and to its individual objects. That just dies in a crumpled heap. Neither the form not the individual columns code works.
The error I get (in both cases) is the Run-time error '2465' Application-defined or object-defined error.
I believe this means that it just cannot work out what idiotic error I have made. The code all passes the compiler test.
Here is the SUB.
Private Sub Form_Load()
'STEP 1. I take a "no data" copy of Create the Work Table and assign it as a control source to the sub form
'================================================= ======================
'(Copies the structure of the source table to a new target one. It isn't a temporary table so I need to
'find a way of assigning a temporary name and then using that name on this prog.
'The True on the end says "Do not copy the data)"
'GLFI50Work is the Global variable that holds the temporary table name.

I know that it isnt advised to store the concatenated value but in this case, I have a memo field which is the description of a particular system component.
i have Unbound Combo Boxes for descriptive elements such as COLOUR, SIZE, CONNECTIVITY, MAKE.
ALL of these i would to store in a field in my table and called Description and separate them by colons or the actual words which describe the category.
Please Advise
Hi,
I want to open up a certain page of a tab control using VBA code.
For example: when user presses a button in a form, tab number three of a tab control opens in an other form.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I have a reservations form, which will be used to store the checkin and checkout dates for customers; these are related to the reservations table. On the same form I also want room details showing such as room number, this is on a separate rooms table. I believe that the room number will be a query to show which rooms are available and therefore display the room number on the form. So I need integrating this into the form. Also I have not set it as a subform, the reservations form carries on from the customers form, as a new form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a TAB control and four pages. Each control of each page has his TAB index set correctly (starting from 0 to n), some of controls are not enabled to be tabbed. The form's cycle is set on "Current page".
I have two kind of problems.
First: I am on the last control of the page, pressing TAB key the focus gets invisible. Press TAB key again and the focus moves on the first page's control. For each page happens this behaviour.
Second: clicking randomly on the TAB pages the focus is not always on the control with TAB index 0, but usually on the last.
I have read that clicking on a new page the focus should be automatically on the first control, but this does not happen in my experience.
I have an access form with tab control pages each with embedded forms.In one page I have a list of records as a datasheet form with the record identifier field configured as a hyperlink. When I click on this it passes its value to a form field in the form in the following tab page (works without the hyperlink but its a useful way of highlighting which field to click) which is a display/edit form of the details of the individual record. The Subroutine which does this sets the focus on this field it is passing the value to on the other form and the 'On Got Focus' event in that triggers the query that fills the editor form.
When I click back on the following tab to select another record to view/edit, the identifier value of the other record is passed to the other form but the data displayed in the rest form doesn't change. I understand this is because the field with the 'On Got Focus' never lost focus and so the query function was not called. To correct this I tried adding the same function call to the 'On Change' event however this does not work (the field is a text box set to 'locked' if that is relevant).I can get the form to do a new query properly if I click on a different field in the form before going back to the list tab or (as this is removing the focus allowing the On Got Focus to work again) if I click on a button to select a different record (which just takes me back to the list form).
Is there any way I can get this to work without having to manually remove the focus from the problem field? I have tried setting its On Got Focus event to move the focus to another field after the query function call however this prevents the Setfocus line in the code in the previous form from working. Here is a snippet of my code below.This code is for the list form and passes a value to the editing form:
Private Sub SalesID_Click()
Forms!Mainform.Requery
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form!Sales_Admin_SalesI D.Value = SalesID.Value
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form.SetFocus
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form!Sales_Admin_SalesI D.SetFocus

My records are huge, with 2 memo fields. One memo field has the complete content of journal articles, so it's quite a lot of text. What I'd like to do is, per the title, split record data into 2 report pages each with the first page holding the summary field data and the second page holding the journal content only.
I've experimented with the page break functions, can grow / can shrink properties and some of the other things that would be relevant here but can never seem to get them to work.
Hi, I have two seperate sets of data which have been made by queries... These two queries are called "qryTopHalf" and "qryBottomHalf," and I wish to combine one field from each of these two queries by making another query... The SQL code I have tried to use is:
SELECT qryTopHalf.PlayerID, qryBottomHalf.PlayerID
FROM qryTopHalf, qryBottomHalf
I do not get an error message but I do end up getting duplicate values in the results from the new query I have made using the above SQL code... It doesn't seem logical for me to be getting 4 values in each field of the new query results when there were only 2 values in both qryTopHalf.PlayerID and qryBottomHalf.PlayerID.
Any suggestions/solutions? :-)
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has a solution for my problem.
I have 2 data sources, one which is an ODBC and one which is an import table. I have a 2 queries each querying the 2 data sources seperatly.
My problem is... One of the fields which I need to do a join to a reference table has a different data type in each of the data sources. I have tried changing this in the imported table NO JOY!! You cant change the data type in the ODBC link.
Is the anyway round this?
Any help appreciated...
I have an option group where the user reads a question and either has to select yes or no. There are multiple questions on this form. If the user selects 'No' I'd like a "why" form to pop up and allow the user to write a reasoning down and have it saved in a record in a table (the same table that the yes or no answer is saved in).
Right now I have it working, but my method will force me to make a specific why form for each question (which will be over 50). This doesn't seem very efficient.
I work for a small manufacturing company and have been asked to set up an access database to track production. The end goal is to have a touch screen at every machine where operators will input data. This data will then dump to a different workbook for each machine. My question is: Is it possible to link one access tables with multiple xls documents so that, as data is added to any of the workbooks, it is then updated to a single access table? I also will need to find a quick way to link new files to the table as new parts are put into production.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
Managed to build an Access database with switchboard, forms, reports & queries but I'm left with two annoying problems:
1) I have two columns in my main table called "SOURCE" and "SOURCE 2". They both take their data from a table called "SOURCE". I run a weekly query so that the jefes (bosses) can see the fruits of their advertising so I get the the advertising source and the number of times it was used by a client, grouped according to number of times used. My first problem is knowing how to produce a TOTAL at the end of the report of ALL the sources as well as the individual count.
EG: GOOGLE 24
YAHOO 12
MSN 2
TOTAL 38
In design view I have the following:
FIELD: CONTACTID SOURCE WHENREGISTERED
TABLE: CONTACTS CONTACTS CONTACTS
TOTAL: COUNT GROUP BY WHERE
SHOW: Y Y N
CRITERIA: Between [Enter the first date:] And [Enter the last date:]
I haven't used the "SOURCE 2" column due to problem nš2:
2) How do I combine "SOURCE" and "SOURCE 2" columns in my main table in a query? Is it possible? EG on my form a client may have contacted us via GOOGLE the 1st time and then by YAHOO the 2nd time. I want to reflect that in the query, which at the end of the day uses the same table ("SOURCE") to get it's values and then store them in the main "CONTACTS" table.
Hope this isn't too complicated and that I'm explaining myself well. Well done to all those experts whose comments to others have already helped me make some great tweaks, especially with mail merging. Thanks. Chris.
I'm looking into create a small unique identifier to put on top of each invoice generated by the database. (.MDB A2010)where '000' its just 3 zeros added for extra badassery, '1' is the actual ID from the database table and -2014 its the current year when the record was added...So maybe I have info from 2 fields (ID, YEAR)... but How do I add the ceros to the ID field... so its 0001 not 1 or 0135 not 135... ???.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project where I have data coming in from about 70 different sources across my state... but right now, they're all submitting their data in different ways (some through websites, some through databases, and some through excel spreadsheets they send monthly). As you can imagine, this is a nightmare for trying to get all of the data in one place to do some statistics on.
My question is this - if I were to set up an Access form where each client could fill in the blanks with the same information they've been submitting to all these other sources, could I send it out to them and have it all compile in one place? The last place I worked, we used Access to manage all of our on-site stuff, but we were all on the same network. Could it work the same way if everyone is spread across one state?
Hi, I'm trying to connect to SQL Server Express from MS Access 2003.
I've created an ODBC data source and tested it within the ODBC Wizard. It successfully connects to the SQL Server database.
From within MS Access, I choose File > Get External Data > Import and I'm presented with a dialogue for choosing the data source. As soon as I choose ODBC from the Files of Type drop-list, the dialogue disappears. No error-message, nothing!
Has anyone else had this problem?
i want to create a summary report from multiple queries.
what are the best possible methods for this ? should i need to use subreport function or anything else?
I am creating a database in which to store my data collected in my research. I have 8 tables that are linked by a SampleID number. I have created a form which has tabs, the first tab contains the information required for entry on table 1; how I am going to add the controls from table 2 onto the second tab.
I know how to make additional tabs and I have created a separate form for table 2 with the form wizard, cut and pasted the fields into the second tab on my first form BUT how to establish the source for those controls back to the second table. To make matters worse (of course not to be too dramatic here) I can see the other table in my Field List of related tables.
Please see the screen shot attached.
I have a single form with multiple tabs. At the top of the form appears the name of an individual and below the name are multiple tabs containing information specific to that individual. Each tab has a separate underlying table, which is the data source for the information contained on that tab.
As best as I can tell, I can only use one single data source (a query at the moment) to populate all the data that appears on all the tabs. Is there a way that I can have a separate data source (namely, a table) for each tab?
importing data from two excel sources to one table. I have a table with: Unit, Info1, info2, info3, info4, info5, info6, info7. I have been able to import from the first file which has all of the unit information-'info1-5'. I need to import another file to fill 'info6-7' based on specific unit numbers. I have created two excel tables the first with the headers "unit, info1-5" and the second with the headers "unit, info6-7." The first works fine and adds all the data I want it to, but when I try to do the same with the second it doesn't add any new data.I cannot add the last two fields to my first spread sheet because it would involve sorting through 700+ units and adding the data manually to 400+ of them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a columnar report that relies on information that are expressions in various queries. Unfortunately, I can't seem to create them in one query because the criteria is mutually exclusive. I used the report wizard to start the report based on the single expression in the first query. Now I want to start adding the other data but I can't seem to get it to work. All I really want to do is include fields that have the have the value, which is already summed, from the other query. When I try that I get error messages like "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'expressionName' as part of an aggregate function' and it just goes further downhill from there. What is the easiest way to get this simple values into the report? Is there a way I can create a field in the report that uses a SQL statement for just that field so I don't have to have the report linking to 50 different queries?

I I have a SpouseID field in my Contacts table to link spouses.When a spouse is selected in one contact's record, I want to be able to automatically update the other contact's SpouseID control.I have created a calculated control called txtSpouseID that uses DLookup to find the ContactID for the other spouse:
=Nz(DLookUp("[ContactID]","tblContacts","[Spouse] =" & [ContactID]))
And I have entered this code into the form's OnCurrent event:
Code:
If Not IsNull(Me.txtSpouseID) Then
Me.Spouse = Me.txtSpouseID
End If
However, this obviously only works if the user navigates to the spouses record. If s/he doesn't then the value does not get entered into the table.
I'm using a barcode scanner to enter ID numbers into a combo box on a form.. I've got it to do this much - scan the barcode, and then the form loads the relevant record. Great - now I want, that when a barcode is scanned, it makes the next field the 'live' field (the one with the cursor in it).
