I have a form with Continuous Records as its default view. I would like to number the amount of records displayed on screen to about 5 or 6 at a time instead of having them scrolling right off the bottom of the screen. Is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks
I've built a basic inventory management system that allows a business to add products and the ingredients (and labour etc.) that go into them so they can work out costs and profit.We've run into a bit of a usability problem in the sense that they have 700 different ingredients and so adding them to products has become a little unwieldy as the lists in the comboboxs are massive.
What they've asked me to do is to add a filter combobox to the Ingredients subform of their New Product page that allows them to constrain the Ingredients by type, to make the lists more manageable. So if you imagine they are entering a record for a new cake and need to add Eggs as an ingredient they could either...
a) Scroll through the list of 700 ingredients as they do currently and find "Size 3 chicken egg".
...or...
b) Use a combobox on the ingredient row to pick "Eggs" which would in turn filter the ingredients combobox on that row from 700 ingredients down to a handful e.g."Size 1 chicken egg", "Size 2 chicken egg", "Size 3 chicken egg", "Size 1 duck egg" etc.
the filter combobox applies to all rows in the subform! Is there a clever way of telling the Filter to only apply itself to the current row of the continuous form?My code is...
Code:
Private Sub FilterRMs()
Dim mySql As String
If Me.RMTypeFilter.Column(1) = "999" Then
Me.FilterOn = False
code]....
One shows my form with the Transporters Subform with 3 entries, and 1 entry.The three line items that say "Transporter" are in one subform. I used this code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 Then
Me.AllowAdditions = False
End If
End Sub
to limit the number of records I can add to 3 or less.My issue is that I lost the blank text box that allows you to add another record. So, if I only have one Transporter listed, there's no box to let me add a second or third.I have the following properties for the Transporters Subform set to "Yes":
Data Entry
Allow Additions
Allow Deletions
Allow Edits
Allow Filters
I want to limit the # of records being entered in a form according to a limit value which has to come from a query.

In the form frmOrders of my database i have a combobox where i can choose a ClientID and the dropdown list shows me all the clients in upgoing order with their related orders in descent order.But the drop down list doesn't show all available clients. The two hundred heighest clientnumbers aren shown. However if i type one of these clientnumbers in the textbox of the combobox, the client is found.If i go to the property sheet of the combobox and activate the query that serves as the recordsource of the combobox, all clients are shown!!!I control of the records of these clients in the table Orders, doesn't show any difference with all the other records.What can be the reason for these behaviour. Is it a question of a limit of records that can be shown via a combo box?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a database that has transactions since year 2009. I want the users to only be able to view and edit transactions that were entered in the last 6 days. I was initially able to do this by putting a filter in the Property Sheet section of the form and choosing Yes for Filter on Load.
However, a user was able to discover that by clicking on Clear All Filters, the filter I set was also cleared, thus making them see all the transactions beginning year 2009.
I have a question on number of records displaying in datasheet view on a form. Is there a way to limit the number of records showing on open.I have a command button on a Navigation form that opens a frmEnterPartsOrder using a Macro.
I have set the Macro to OpenForm, View Datasheet then GoToRecord, Record New..Works perfectly, but it does open the form and fill the screen with records, putting focus on the "new" record at the bottom of the form. Is there a way to set it to open this form, but only display say last 10 records and then focus on "new" record.
I have a bound continuous tabular form,However, based on data content in one field of a record, I want a checkbox in the same record enabled, so the user can check it if necessary. I have created a record set using the form as shown below, and I am looping through each record. To show that my code is referring to the field with required data content, I display it as a message box and it works, yet my checkbox does not enable.
I have the code in the form_load event, however, for testing purposes I have it behind a button.If I am seeing this properly, the code behind the button enables the checkbox for ALL records once the criteria in the required field is true, and based on the last record, which has no data content, it disables the checkbox in ALL records. I also have the PK ID for each record hidden in the form. Can I utilize that to target the checkbox of each individual record??
Form Detail
-Form does not allow additions or deletions. Edits allowed
-All fields are disabled and locked
-I only want the check box to unlock if data is found in the "RequiredField" as referred to below. I have also tried if not isNull(requiredfield.value) then -enable checkbox, which yields the same results
Here is my code
Code:
Dim rstMyForm As DAO.Recordset
Set rstMyForm = Forms!MyForm.Form.Recordset
rstMyForm.MoveFirst
Do While Not rstMyForm.EOF
If Not RequiredField.Value = "" Then

Is there any way to highlight duplicates across a number of records on a continuous form (conditional formatting I presume)? My continuous form is filtered on load to show only the records relating to the specified date (specified before opening the form), and there is one field that I would like to highlight if there is a duplicate value in the same field on another record on the form. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
IN Access 2007 when a Continuous form is opened there is no records shown.
Only after hitting the page down records are shown.
I have a continious form with textfields as records. Its about total course hours that are calculated. There is a field in the records that holds and calculates the hourse that one have done and another field that holds the max hours they may follow for one year.
Every record has h different year.
When the amount of hours in the transmission textfield is negative, they can transmit the hours to te next year. Therefore i have to calculate the Max hours per Year + the transmission hours.
So the calculation is not a problem. Though i don't actually know where i can trigger the calculation. I have tried it with a button on the form, but then the user always have to click to see the right amount of hours for the next year. That's not handy. I am looking for a way to automatically calculate the field Max hours per year. Given that the Max hours per year is a bound field, its bound to a table where i stock the Max hours that i have calculated.
I also tried it with the button that's used for inserting new course hours, but then it calculates with the old values instead of the new ones.
How can i trigger the calculation automatically without using a button.
We have a database with one main data entry which stores records in a seperate table. There are several thousand records keyed in using this form. Therefore, alongside the entry we have a search form which allow the user to search for a specific record and display it in the main if he/she needs to edit one.
We have received a request from users for a functionality which allows users to browse all records, using the main form layout, that they have keyed in. I guess what I am asking is: Is there a way to limit the records visible in a form using field on that same form as a limitation (ie. the users name - which is a required key-in)?
i want to run a querie to criate new tables every 200 records, how can this be done?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to limit the number of records entered into a database, and return an "error". Not an error exactly but it should pop up and say "the limit of 25 members allowed to sign up for this class has been met". I figured out how to go in access and create a validation rule so that "ID < 26", and it has successfully blocked records #26 and up from being saved, but it shows on the form that it was submitted. How do I get it to "know" when to say "the limit has been met"??
Thanks in advance!!
Is there a limit on the number of records you can have in an access database? I've got one with 8500 records and it's been a PITA! I have a webpage on our intranet so users can go and enter their information to it, and they get a nasty error whenever they try to enter information. I'm trying to figure out why and i was just wondering... i know it's not the webpage because when i connect it to my test database it works fine? so i dunno :confused:
any help is greatly appreciated!!
Hi All.
Is it possible to limit the number of records in a form, to a number given in a linked form.
For Example.
tblA
StreetName
No_Of_Houses
tblB
Name
Number
I would only want the number of records in tblB to be the same as No_Of_Houses in tblA.
I have seen previous threads where you can limit it to a number, but do not know where to go from there.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Frank.
I have a Top 10 query (it is based on $ amount) and everything works fine except...say I have 1,000 records and 5 are >$0 it shows those fine but since the other 995 records are $0 it shows "all" of them.
I would like to limit the record count in the query to only 10. Within that 10 records if there are $0 records then I would like to show them up to the 10 record limit.
I see both sides I think but you would think that if you say "Top 10" it would be "10".
Thank you :confused:
I have three tables;
tblPallet
PalletId
DateDespatched
TblBox
BoxId
PalletID
TblKitting
KITID
BoxID
Model
Process
The users will be adding a kitting item to a box. Only 10 items are allowed in a box (no more no less) and the box needs to have its own Id Number and then the box is placed on a pallet. 40 boxes are allowed on a pallet (again no more no less) and the pallet is despatched. Then a new pallet is set up.
I am trying to think of the easiest way to do this as I am a little new to Access. Any tips in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I thought about a series of subforms from a main pallet form but am not sure how to introduce a limit to the number of records in a subform. Perhaps Ive bitten off more than I can chew (I hope not)
Many thanks
HI I am creating a booking system.
I would like to have a form that only shows 10 records for each event. As this is the max number of people that can attend at any one time. How would I go about this. do I use single form, continous for or what ? thanks for any help

I am attempting to right program for work and here is my problem. Every Unit in the Army has a Unit Identification Code and my boss wants two records of each UIC stored. But when you add a new record for that UIC he wants the oldest one purged, so he only wants 2 records on file in order to maintain some sort of volume problems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Finally after 2 1/2 days I have the ability to bring a dbase 5.5 file in to Access 2007.
1.Do a normal export of a DBF file out all dbase.
2. Excel 2007 - open the DBF file. Note: dBase Files (*.dbf)
3. Save as a .xlsx file.
4. Access 2007 - right click on table in left columnImportexcel
5, Note: You'll be looking at a window with a yellow bar across the top.
Browse to your *.xlsx file and open.
6. Select "OK"show Worksheets nextFirst Row Contains Column HeadingsNextNextNo Primary KeyextFinishclose
7. Double Click on file in left column and there it is.
Never got other methods to work, sad to say.
After a day to get to this result, the problems begin. Every time we would change one character field from 50 char to 6 char, or whatever, the out of memory or disk space error would come up. I have 250 gig available and I'm running 4gig of memory with nothing loaded but Access 2007. I even shut down my virus checker.
So I spent a day or two trying to find a wining combo (A File Size That Would Work). And here it is, 148500 records that comprise of a 21.3m file is the breaking point. If I change a character field, 250char to 6 char, I'm ok. If I change a couple more it get the error message. 150,000 will get a memory/Drive error no matter what is changed.
Is there a option in Access that should be on. Because I find it hard to believe that an old dBase program, one step up from DOS, can handle 350,00 records all day long and Access chocks on 148000 records. Up until now I thought Access was the best thing that happened. There has to be something wrong, no software designer would have done this. I even checked for a corrupt file, the best I could. If there is a file checked out there, I’m open to it.
In Access 2010 I am previewing a customer report. I also try to give users the choice of seeing history sub records for any given customer. I have a selection dropdown box where they can chose ALL, 5, 10 or 15 in a report. To this end I set the record source in the "Open" event for the subreport. if I want all records it works fine, but as soon as I put in "SELECT TOP 5" the subreport goes invisible. I have tested the query directly and it works fine. I'm sure this worked in Access 2007
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to hide previously added records which have been added to a subform? For example a user adds their selections and closes the database. They then re-open the database and rather than displaying their previous selection - its blank ready to start again?
