I have a Summary report and a detailed report in MS Access. Upon clicking one of the records in the Summary report should open the detailed version for that record only. Lets say the Summary report has a list of employees. Upon clicking an employee record/link in the summary report should open the detailed report containing the details for that employee alone.

I have used the tree control to acomplish this but the major drawback I have found is it becomes WAY too slow when utilizing large amounts of data due to many embeded loops. Does anyone know an alternative or a way to program the tree control to only add nodes once a selection is expanded?
Basically I want this to operate as a drilldown of infinate levels with the speed of windows explorer. Unfortunatly all the code I have seen requires that all nodes are designated/Created when the form is loaded.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated
I am trying to set up something to be able to take me to a folder that holds various forms for personnel. I have a query that generates the link for each person. I have tried to set it up as a hyperlink in ACCESS 2013 and it displays as one but doesn't act like one.
I want to be able to click the link and have it open up a personnel folder for that individual. I can't find a MACRO that I can create to do it. Example of my query is that it creates a link K:Main BreakdownSection BreakdownPersonnel FoldersName and the name is the variable part.
My next problem will be to have it create that folder when we have new personnel arriving.
I would also note that I have not worked with ACCESS in many years and much of what I was able to do with 2002 and 2003 doesn't work with the newer versions of ACCESS.
How can I link multiple images from a folder on my drive to each record without making the database file huge?
Each record is a plant species. I want to link to photos of flower, seed, etc. See attached database example.
I would then like those images to appear on a report for each species. How would I go about doing this, if it is indeed possible?
I am using MS Access 2000 to handle a help desk system. Each job is given a task number and users are able to output a report of all of there tasks, with full notes.
What I would like to do is create a index front page or section which lists just the task numbers and the page number they appear on.
Can this be done or is there somewhere to perform a search on a report?
Any help most appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to using MS Access and I am having a difficult time trying to do one particular thing. What I am trying to do is represented in the Contacts database template in Access 2007. When that database is opened, there is a link labeled as New displayed on the table that opens a form to enter a new record. I cannot figure out how to do that, can anyone help?
Also, is there a way to automatically open a particular form when the database is opened?
I currently have a form in Access 2003 which is filled with quite a lot of data. Each new form need to be approved by some people, and I send them an email through Access to ask it.
Is it possible to have a direct link to the form filled with the particular data they need to approve without creating a website?
Hi there,
I'm using access 2000 for starters.
I have created one to many relationships for each of 10 cascading tables dependent on related records in each preceeding table and was expecting to be able to drill down into them in the standard database window prior to creating a data access form to work with.
However i have found that tables 1 through 7 are visible, but access doens't give a little "+" in the corner of table 8 to get to tables 9 and 10. i.e, i can't seem can't seem to drill down beyond table 8 to view related records in tables 9 then 10.
Does this mean that there is a limit to how far you can drill down through table relationships within access?
Thanks
Vince

How can i do the following? In a combo box, how can i type in say PEPPER and see every formulaName that contains Pepper in their description. I would get back Red Pepper, Orange Pepper, Black Pepper, Pepper, to choose from. Notice that Pepper can be anywhere inside the name.
I would like the choices change as i type. In other words, if i type BL, i would start to see choices like Black Pepper, Blue Pepper, Roger Blueboy, Green Bloak or any formulaname containing BL.
I presently have the following combo box. if i start typing BL and hit the down arrow, i will see formulas starting with BL. unfortunately, furtherdown, i also see all the other thousands of formulas in the base; meaning I see things that start with C, D, E etc.
I was hoping that i would see every formula containing the letters that i type, As I Type. so if i went further and typed BLAC, the formulas that almost made the cut, disappear from view, leaving me with things having BLAC in name, anywhere in the formulaName. Is this possible? I kind of want to DRILL down. when i finish typing black, i would have all formulaNames that have the word Black somewhere.
here is the combo box after update code:
----------------------------------------------
Private Sub CboFormulaNameFilter_AfterUpdate()
If Me![CboFormulaNameFilter] = "<All>" Then
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Else
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "[FormulaID] = Forms![frmFormulaMain]![cboFormulaNameFilter]"
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------------------
============================
Here is the row source sql code:
SELECT DISTINCT tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
FROM tblFormulaMain
GROUP BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
ORDER BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName;
===============================
FormulaID is a text field.

Hi!
I am a newbie in Access. I am running Access 2003 and would like to be able to create links to Visual Foxpro9 tables using the VFP OleDB provider and not the ODBC drivers.
A few of my clients want to use the VFP9 tables in their reports but so far I have not been able to find a way to do it using OLEDB (except in a module with VBA code which I don't want).
I can do it using the ODBC but the problem is that ODBC driver does not recognise the VarChar fields in the tables.
I tried creating an Access project and then 'File --> Connections' but it does not display the 'Provider' tab to select which provider to use and by default assumes that SQL Server is the source database.
How can I get Access 2003 to allow me to select the OLEDB Provider?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
I am a newbie when it comes to Access and ASP but I am trying. I am in the need for some help.
I have a large table in Access 2003 and need to break it into smaller tables (not using a query) where the fields are the same except each of the smaller, new tables will hold info for a specific person. These smaller tables would need tro be linked to the larger.
Is there an easy way to do this? I need to keep it in tables due to the ASP software I use to generate the asp pages.
Is this possible?
My goal is for each user to be able to only view/edit their data and for the large table to reflect any changes made to the smaller table.
Thanks,
Dan
I have a form (frmAddManifest) with a subform (subfrmManifestTransporters).
When creating a new record, I can enter data into frmAddManifest, but the subform doesn't update to link with the record - I presume it's because the record from the main form hasn't been completed yet.
Is there a way to requery the form and/or subform so it stays on the record I was working on, and link the subform properly?
I want to get the link adress to an image in a report using VBA. I use the following code:
PHP Code:
Dim strPath As String
strPath = [CurrentProject].[Path] & "builder" & FirstImage
If Not Right(strPath, 7) = "bilder" Then
    Me.huvudbild.Picture = strPath
Else
    Me.huvudbild.Picture = [CurrentProject].[Path] & "builder\_tom.jpg"
End IfÂ

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need help with changing data source/which database my Access application connects to.
We got this application from overseas,it is a Access front with an SQL db, I have restored the database, so we have the database, however as soon as I click to do anything in the program I get an error because I need to change the database it looks for.
I was told to open the application and go Tools-Database Utility Manager and Linked Table Manager and get all the tables and select the tick box to "Prompt for a new location" however I have no tables to be selected once I open Linked Table Manager.
I have never done this before, if this sounds familiar to anybody I would appreciate any help.
Thanks all

I was hired to write some reports in Access 2000 for a small company (max of 6 users at a time). The database was created by someone else and he decided that moving to Oracle was the answer to some of their issues (losing data due to record locking). The guy did not know Access at all so that DB is screwed up (another issue all together). I had no problem creating the reports and they ran fine on my home and work computer. When I imported the reports into the Access DB at this company they ran fine (but VERY slow). I then got a call 3 days later from them saying the reports wouldn’t run. The owner decided to upgrade to Access 2003 to see if that would help but that created another set of new error messages. When I try to run the report it gives two messages: "can not perform action/make changes in record primary key" and "record not found". These reports are based on simple select queries. Trying to run the reports freezes the application. I even tried to open the tables and it either freezes the app or takes about 15 minutes to open. These tables are linked to Oracle 8i. The newest OBDC drivers have been installed and the newest Oracle 8I edition has been installed. Since I can run the reports in Access I assume the issue is the link with Oracle. I have very little Oracle knowledge. From what I can tell the data is stored in Oracle and Access pulls the data via the links. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know how to fix the issue? Your help is very much appreciated!
