I inherited a database from someone else which has about 9000 records.
When sorted, one can see that the AutoNumbering starts at about 72K...then after a while there is a jump to about 134K...then after some more records the AutoNumber suddenly goes up to about 396K.
Does anyone know the most likely reason(s) that the numbering is like this?
Thanks in advance.
Every time I enter the value for the OservationType in Subfrm it jumps back to the very first record. Can any body help me solving this problem. I thought it is tub order issue but it is not. I attached the sample db to this email. Please, help me. Thanks.

My forms and reports jump to the back, behind anything that is open when ever I open them into design.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've created a custom ribbon for my end users (Access 2010) and everything looks and works great except for one issue that is becoming a deal breaker for me and my end users:
I've got a number of tabs on my custom ribbon and on each tab there are a number of buttons that open various forms and reports. Anytime one of those forms or reports is opened and then closed, the ribbon jumps back to the first tab in my custom ribbon. So if you were on tab 3, opened a form and then closed it, you would be jumped back to tab 1.
Any workaround for what seems to be "by design" behavior for custom ribbons? The built-in ribbon does not do this.....
Hi,
I have a huge databse with a form, showing record info. If I use a search button to search the databse it takes ages to find the record.
The quickest way is to find the record by hand, find the record number, copy that, and paste it into the form and hit enter.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can speed thing change over up.
Thanks

One of our key customers (GE) has demanded that we begin to submit our estimates in their transmission 160 character format.
Basically it it a txt file that looks like this all on one line.

Only a couple of those characters are in my database and will change. Other than that items will continously be the same. The items that are optional and we don't have not only have to be blank but have to have spaces there instead...not 0's.
How do I set up a query to kick all of this out? I tried something like:
GEString:2UPRR YYMM00&""&WorkOrderID yada, yada, yada
but it didn't work....any ideas? I also need the YYMM to be the current year/month and I have to pull the decimals out of the estimated billing costs.
Is there a better way to do this? As you can imagine...typing 5+ pages of this for each job would be a NIGHTMARE!
I just recently noticed that the database that I have been working on has changed from around 60 mb to 430 mb. I added a few queries and forms. But could that really add to the size that much?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi've just delivered my program to my client and there are 2 MAJOR bugs.
bug 1: the first time program is opened, everything works fine. it goes to the switchboard, etc., everything's cool. however, if he closes the program (i think he closed it using the red X) and tries to get back in, only one item on the switchboard shows up from that point on. the thing is, this problem DOESN'T HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER so i have no way of even attempting to figure this out. the way i have my program set up is i have an interface and a BE and an .mdw file all in the same folder. i've created a shortcut that uses a workgroup switcher so that he can open the program and use it w/the .mdw file.
i have no idea what could possibly be causing this to happen. i would think that the switchboard would open correctly every time.
bug 2: this one does happen on my computer.
setup: i have frmCustomers (outer form) with sfrmJobs (subform) with a subform inside of that named sfrmFinances. Everything in frmCustomers works fine, and everything in sfrmJobs works fine. The primary key (JobID) in sfrmJobs is entered manually. After the JobID is entered, sfrmFinances is accessible. sfrmFinances' control source is qryFinances, which has a few fields from tblJobs (control source for sfrmJobs). frmCustomers is linked to sfrmJobs by CustomerID and sfrmJobs is linked to sfrmFinances by JobID.
problem: a new customer is entered in frmCustomers. a job number is entered for the new job in sfrmJobs (JobID). the user then attempts to update a field (any field, but for example, ContractPrice) and a window pops up and says, "Field cannot be updated". you click ok and it pops up again, at least 10x in a row. then it finally lets you enter data, but when you try to save the record, it pops up with another window that says,
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
excuse me?? how could there possibly be duplicate data??? the funny thing is tho, when the user closes the form, and then opens it back up and tries to enter financial data w/the same customer, it allows it.
???????
The first bug is more important than the second one, but any advice or ideas on either are EXTREMELY appreciated. thank you very much in advance.

I try to get an ASP file work with Access database and I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers- Error '80004005'
Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126 (Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)).
I tried everything and nothing - and the configuration of this driver doesn't work...
How do I fix this driver??
Hi all,I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. We currently have an mdb which includes a form and 4 tables. The entire mdb is around 800 megs. What we used to do is distribute this mdb to users in completely different locations on a CD, but now it has become to large for a cd to hold. Our manager wants us to figure out a way to distribute this mdb using only 1 cd, without zipping it. How would i go about doing that? Is there currently an installer, that can download the database from our ftp site and then insert the tables, or is there any other easier way i can get this done? P.s. The database will likely get larger and larger every yearThanks in advance
View 14 Replies View RelatedHere is the scenario:
I have a bunch of people with laptops who go on reviews throughout the state and leave reports on site with the facilities they review. They go out in multiple person teams and work together on reviews. Currently, each person types out their own citations in MS Word on their own computer, saves them to a flash drive and then the facilitator compiles them all together and prints out a report. Then the facilitator comes back to the office, provides their support staff a copy of the report, and then the support staff finalizes it and sends out a letter.
Unfortunately, none of our laptops have Internet capability out in the field.
My idea is to have a multi-user split main database that is stored at our main office. This is for the support staff to store all of the reports. Then I propose to have a local copy of the database (much smaller) on each of the laptops.
Here are my questions:
Lets say that 3 people are out on review together. They each have their entry form on their own computer. The form will be sending information to a few different tables. How can they easily export out their results so that the facilitator could easily import them into their database on their computer.
If all of that were to work somehow, how could the facilitator easily export out the review information tables so that the support staff could import them into the main database.
One of the many stumbling blocks I see relates to Primary keys. The main database will have a main table with a PK of 2008.100 for example. While out on review the reviewers will not be able to use the naming conventions of the main database PK. They might use something like the City name and date (Pensacola02222008). Could that PK be automatically switched into the other format upon import?
Let me know ya'lls thoughts. I have been trying to get my head around this for a few days and have not been able to come up with a feasible solution.
Thanks in advance.
I am upgrading a .mdb to MSSQL. The .mdb is 17MB, but the resulting MSSQL is 72MB. Tried using both the Access Upsizing Wizard and Enterprise Manager DTS. I have done this a number of times before, but never ran into this problem. Any ideas what coule be going on, and how to fix it?

When I resort, for exampe by date field, the database on my P4-3.2 with 1gb memory, on Access 2003 with XPpro freezes and does not respond at all!!!
On my old P3-866 512mb with Win2k it was working! After 3 minutes the computer was getting back.... But now.... I waited for 20 minutes. The access doesnt load not a CPU, and no IO readswrites are done - it simply stops responding.

I'd read a few places that embedding pics wasnt the greatest of ideas, but I thought that 1 JPG embedded onto 2 forms would be ok and would prevent the pic from being deleted or moved. (Theyre always screwing with the server here.) But it's making my DB huge.
No pics embedded
Size: 808kB
1 Pic Embedded into 2 forms
Pic Size: 156k JPG
DB Size: 135 MB
Is this normal? I could understand a 156k pic adding somewhere around 156k to my DB, but 134 megs? Anyone have any insight?
We have a huge report in our company that includes all our customers, all the visits done by our sales reps, all the products they have and if a product was out of stock in the visit or not.
I want to create a querry that exports a table with 3 columns:
1-->customer
2-->date of last visit
3-->average of out of stock products on the LAST visit
I tried to make a pivot table, managed to grab the last visit (setting the date to maximum) but the average of out of stock products were aggregated totally and not for the last day.
How to handle this in MS access 2010?
I have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,
Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key
Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key
The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.

When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I have been looking for days on the net for my listbox problem. It is there and found a few, even on this forum. but when i try the solutions mentioned i am in a total loss and do not know what to change to make it work for me.
I have a form named A/B Retriever with a record source qry input AB Bins Than i have a unbound combobox with row source qry input AB Bins. This populates 8 textboxes with B through I carton boxes, stored in a bin. The user selects a Bin location from the combobox and can put a "x" in a textbox to illustrate that the box is empty. This works perfect.
Underneath the input bin and box part i have 8 listboxes that shows a query that has counted the empty boxes with the corresponding bin location. this also works. but the question from users where, If i click on a, lets say empty B-box at Bin location 12A20, they want the combobox automatically focus on the combobox with the corresponding Bin location. This is a quick way for them to delete a empty box (remove the X).
In the zip-file attached below is my "problem" database. (to see the problem open frmLedenArtikels)
On top of the form just select a name from the combo box, the subform then lists the items that person has bought on a certain date. So very easy form.
The problem is the following. When I try to add items to the subform, the record selector in the subform always automatically jumps back to the first record in the subform. this is very annoying and I have totally no clue why this is happening.
Hello,
I have a question. I would like to be able to have an autonumber in the main form be applied to text boxes on the subform. So If I enter a name in the main form, an autonumber is generated, then that number is automatically entered into the boxes in my subform. My subform is a datasheet view with many records. I want all the records to have the autonumber generated in the main form. Is there a way to do this. Currently I have the boxes in the subform retrieve the autonumber by setting it equal to the autonumber text box on the main form. I would think that there would be an easier way to accomplish this seemingly simple task.
Thanks,
Adam
hello,
I am using SQL INSERT INTO where I insert values from my form Me!value1 etc
I have an autonumber in the table where I am using INSERT INTO, and when I exclude the autonumber it says that the number of columns does not match. I tried assigning a number manually in SQL and it works fine, but I can't use autonumber anymore. Is there a way to use autonumber and still do INSERT INTO or is there a way I can find the highest number and put the next highest in there through VBA?
Thanks in advance
In the main table of my d/base (just testing) - when a new record is entered using a form, the Autonumber Key ID becomes 5E+08.
Whats that imply ? There are some One-To-Many sub tables running off the main table, but I can't see how they could cause a problem.

How do I assign an autonumber to a table after the table is created. I know it ask after you create a table, but I answered no. Now I want it to assign each record an autonumber?
Thanks
Hi:
In the table,
I set ID (auto number),
How large the number? What is the limit number?
After it used, will it set back to 1 again?
Please let me know, thanks
Thanks a lot. Thanks.
