Control Can't Be Edited?

Feb 2, 2005

I am at a loss as to why this error has suddenly appeared.
I have a form (frmPurchaseOrders) plus a sub form (frmPurchaseOrderDetails).
The sub has a combo ProdcutID row source:
SELECT DISTINCT [ProductID], [ProductName], [Discontinued] FROM tblProducts WHERE SupplierID=Forms!frmPurchaseOrders!SupplierID ORDER BY [ProductName];

Column Count = 3
Bound Column = 1

If I select a Product from the combo I get error:

'Control can't be edited, its bound to autonumber field ProductID'???

I can't recall changing anything??

Why am I getting this error? I have existing orders with order details (thus proving it worked once!!).

Anybody got any ideas?
:confused:

Text Too Long To Be Edited

Feb 24, 2005

I have an Access form linked to two SQL tables, I had to make a change to the field length/datatype of a field named notes. The form now tells me that the "text is too long to be edited" whenever I try to add data to that Notes field in my form. I went from char to nvarchar... how do I fix this?

Allow A Field To Be Edited Once, Then Lock Or Disable

May 26, 2005

The question is in the title...
How do I allow people to enter data into a field once, but then lock it or disable it from being editted later.
Tried this:
Private Sub SubmittedD_Enter()
If SubmittedD = Null Then
SubmittedD.Locked = False
Else
SubmittedD.Locked = True
End If
End Sub
but the If statement isn't working... it just does the Else statement regardless of wether SubmittedD is null or not.

Thank you.

Tables :: Relationship Is Out Of The Page / Can't Be Seen And Edited

Jan 26, 2013

I have a database, originally made in earlier version of Access, recently converted into Access 2010. Due to the high number of tables relationship page is quite crowded. My problem is that I can't move the page to the most left-upper corner of the relationwhip page where I still have relations but they simply can't be seen and edited; I can't move the page any further with the silpers.

Control Cannot Be Edited - Bound To Expression

Jul 18, 2014

Is there a possibility that a control CAN be edited that is bound to an expression?

All of my Form properties are set to editable, no locks, allow deletion, allow addition, etc.

I just want a text box in a Form to be edited by users if they want to update it but they CAN'T since it is bound to an expression.

Q? Find Last Edited Record Using DMax And FindRecord

Oct 27, 2004

Hi,

I have a database / form with a hidden timestamp field [LastEdit]
that is filled automatically with the current time Now() when updated.
The purpose is that each time the form is opened I want it to "Goto" the last edited record.

I *think* I get around the find edit quotes because the smaller snippets below do work.

findit = DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn")
MsgBox DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn")

But the whole thing fails when I put it into one command as either one of these
DoCmd.FindRecord DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn"), , , acSearchAll
or DoCmd.FindRecord findit, , , acSearchAll
perhaps because of the quotes around the variable.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Adding A New Record, But Not Allowing Old Records To Be Edited

May 6, 2005

I have a problem that should have an easy solution. But I can't find it.

I need to have a user add a new record. (Created a form with the fields on it, No problem , so far.)

The problem is when the user is adding a new record if they hit the PAGE DOWN Key or the mouse scroll, they then go to a new NEW record. (And if they are not paying attention they now have two new records)

How do I prevent this.

Thanks

Update Separate Table When Record Is Edited

Aug 5, 2015

I have a form where a user can change the scheduled start date for a job. On a sub form on the same screen is a list of notes relating to that job.

Any notes added, automatically have todays date and are locked when the user clicks off.

When the scheduled start date is changed I need a note to be made. Either forced, then entered by the user or automatically.

I was thinking of making the scheduled start appear in a small form and the button to make it come up could add a new note on the click event (possibly in a message).

Or even better (probably harder) any time the value is changed in the form a new note is added.

Other options could be a pop up form to add one note on a change.

Goto Previous EDITED Record On Continious Form

Sep 29, 2005

Hi All,

I have a continious form where each record can be edited. After editing a record the form does a me.save and a me.requery (is important). After this it jumps back to the first record (seems logical), but how can I write a code that he goes back to the 'previous edited record'.

Thanks.

Duplicate Data Error While Saving An Edited Record

Jan 8, 2005

Having a problem when saving a record that has been edited and contains a duplicate field. Here is what I'm doing.

I have an existing record that is being viewed by the user. I have an edit button on the form that is displaying the record. When the user clicks the edit button I do the following

'User clicked on edit customer record

Private Sub CustEditRec_Click()

'Store current customer key in string so we can cross

'check if user has changed the key during edit

EditCustKey = Me.txtCustomerKey

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70

'Set customer record test string so we can determine

'what the user is doing

CustomerRecStat = "edit"

' Go unlock the customer data fields for editing

UnlockCustomerFields

TxtCompanyName.SetFocus

'Go Unlock the customer editing buttons

UnLockCustomerAddButtons

'Lock the add, delete, edit buttons

CustAddRec.Enabled = False

CustEditRec.Enabled = False

CustDelRec.Enabled = False

'Go Disable the customer navagation buttons

DisableCustomerNavigation

txtCustomerKey.Visible = True

txtCustomerKey.Locked = False

txtCustomerKey.Enabled = True

'Set focus on the customer key

txtCustomerKey.SetFocus

'disable & hide the customer key combobox

cmboCustomerKey.Locked = True

cmboCustomerKey.Enabled = False

cmboCustomerKey.Visible = False

Exit_CustEditRec_Click:

Exit Sub

Err_CustEditRec_Click:

MsgBox Err.Description

Resume Exit_CustEditRec_Click

End Sub

The field which duplicate entries are not allowed in the table is txtCustomerKey. Now remember we are just editing a record NOT ADDING A NEW ONE.

When the user finished making the changes to the record we use the same procedure to save the changes as we when the user is adding a new record...here it is.

'User clicked save customer record

Private Sub CustSaveRec_Click()

On Error GoTo Err_CustSaveRec_Click

SaveCustomerRecord:

'Update the table data fields with the data contained on the form

CustomerKey = Me.txtCustomerKey

CustomerCompany = Me.TxtCompanyName

CustomerFirst = Me.txtCustomerFirst

CustomerLast = Me.txtCustomerLast

CustomerAddress = Me.txtCustomerAddress

CustomerCity = Me.txtCustomerCity

CustomerProvince = Me.txtCustomerProvince

CustomerPostal = Me.txtCustomerPostal

CustomerCountry = Me.txtCustomerCountry

CustomerPhone = Me.txtCustomerPhone

CustomerFax = Me.txtCustomerFax

CustomerEmail = Me.txtCustomerEmail

CustomerWeb = Me.txtCustomerWeb

CustomerNotes = Me.txtCustomerNotes

'Save the record

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70

'*** IF WE GOT THIS FAR WITH OUT ERRORS WE SAVED THE RECORD

'*** GO AHEAD & DISABLE THE FORMS VARIOUS FIELDS

'*** & BUTTONS ONCE AGAIN AS WE ARE JUST BACK TO VIEWING

'*** THE CUSTOMERS DATABASE

'Enable and unlock the customer key field

txtCustomerKey.Visible = True

txtCustomerKey.Locked = False

txtCustomerKey.Enabled = True

'Hide & disable the customer keycombo box

cmboCustomerKey.Locked = True

cmboCustomerKey.Enabled = False

cmboCustomerKey.Visible = False

'Set focus on the customer key field

txtCustomerKey.SetFocus

'Lock the customer fields

LockCustomerFields

'Enable the navigation buttons

EnableCustomerNavigation

'Lock the customer adding buttons

LockCustomerAddButtons

'Clear the record testing status

CustomerRecStat = ""

txtCustomerKey_AfterUpdate

Exit_CustSaveRec_Click:

Exit Sub

Err_CustSaveRec_Click:

'If the error generated was by a duplicate value.

'This can only be caused by the customer key as this

'is the only field which does not allow duplicate values.

'so warn the user of this duplicate value error and set

'the focus on the customer key field

If Err.Number = 3022 Then

'if user is editing a record

If CustomerRecStat = "edit" Then

'And the entered customer key has not changed

If Me.txtCustomerKey = EditCustKey Then

'Return to saving the record as the key is

'not really a duplicate

GoTo SaveCustomerRecord

End If

End If



Select Case MsgBox("This Customer ID was already located in the database. Click OK to enter a new Customer ID or Cancel to stop adding this record?", vbExclamation + vbOKCancel + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate Customer ID")

Case vbOK

Me.txtCustomerKey.SetFocus

Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click

Case vbCancel

'Go simulate undo record click

CustUndoRec_Click

Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click

End Select

End If

MsgBox Err.Description

Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click

End Sub



The problem is when the user is editing a record. The database assumes the txtCustomerKey is a duplicate in the table. However we are not adding a new record so the duplicate error is false. Its just that the txtCustomerKey is the same as the record being edited. Its not DUPLICATED its the SAME.....



Any help anyone? Sorry for the long post but I'm a strong believer in the more information the better when trying to solve a problem....

Thx

Forms :: Control Cannot Be Edited It Is Bound To Autonumber Field

May 17, 2013

I have written a code to look up by the unique reference number rather than use the wizard to avoid this error happening... The field is restricted to list only so you can't actually edit the number.For ease of use you cannot scroll by record and I need to filter by the ID. Is there an easy fix to this combobox?

Would creating a seperate query work? Is there another lookup code I could use where I don't need to have the combo box bound to the ID field since it's not being edited anyway? I had a go at one and although it would now let me select it wasn't updating the record, tried a few ways but it seems that it needs to be bound to the field.

Modules & VBA :: Find Out Which Records Actually Being Used / Open / Edited In Split DB

Jan 21, 2015

I have a split db in use by about 20 people. Ocasionally a user opens a record that is already opened by some other user and if changes are made then he gets error 7878; "the data has changed error"

Is it possible to find out which records are actually being used/open/edited in a split db? All tables are related to the main key (CallID on table Contacts).

If it was possible to find out, I could have a label show up in the db record search form telling the user not to open that record.

Control Can't Be Edited; It's Bound To The Expression '[Form]!EmpList.Column(13)'

Aug 8, 2005

On my form, I currently have a combo box that updates text box data with each new selection. However, after these text boxes for FirstName, LastName, etc. are updated, they cannot be edited. Here is the error message that appears in the status bar:

Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression '[Form]!EmpList.Column(13)'


I'm thinking it might be a result of the data source for the text boxes being a combo box expression.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks. :)

Updating DB Only When User Clicks Save (and Not When Entry Fields Are Edited)

Oct 20, 2005

Hi,

I want to only save changes made to the DB row when the user clicks the Save button I created. I have some text boxes which currently are bound to different columns in the given row (ex: name, address).

Right now, changes are updated automatically when the form is closed or when focus moves to a different tab page.

Is there any simple way to do this? Currently all form input objects are bound to their respective columns (ex: name, address). Should they be bound, or should I just perform a query when the form opens to find the specified item then load the different fields into the proper text boxes.

Also, when I TAB through all my input boxes and the TAB focuses on my Tab Conrol Object the text boxes are automatically updated with the next item n the DB (next row). How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

Queries :: Field In Table Doesn't Change When Edited From Query

Mar 29, 2013

Users are viewing a record on a form that gets it's data from a query. I want to make it so that if they edit that record from that form, a last updated field will timestamp the date/time that the record was edited. I added a lastupdated to the source table which of course adds it to the query and so it's on the form.

But whenever i access the form and change something, the lastupdated only shows the time the record was created (which is from a different form based directly on the table). Whenever I edit any other field data in that query based form it changes in the table. Why not the Lastupdated?

Creating New Record When Record Is Edited?

Feb 20, 2015

I'm working on a project that has project start / end dates which can change. A report is created based on this data. The customer wants me to save all changes as a new record and disregard the older record when the report is created. I was thinking that I would add a (yes/no) column that marks the new record as the most recent (yes) and marks older records as (no). Then I would modify the query for the report to only include records with 'yes' set to true. I was also thinking that I should create a second table that has a foreign key for the original record from the main table. The main table would have the most recently edited record while the second table would have the previous records. Which method should I use?
