Ok guys, I've been eyeing this problem since June and I must say that I'm rather sick of it. After months of dredging the web, I've come to the find multiple mocking hits implying that the answer may lay somewhere in the Experts-Exchange, where i understand that some of you have been know to roam.
Without furthur blather, I must admit that im trying to avoid paying 12 bucks for this answer, especially as I've grown suspicious that this is a straight up MS/Adobe collaboration failure... and now for the problem.
When opening PDF files from my database (Access 2003) Acrobat (7 and 8) successfully opens the pdf. When I attempt close the PDF, nothing happens and I get the following Error when i go back to access:
The operation on the Acrobat Document object failed.
The OLE Server may not be registered
To register the OLE Server, reinstall it.
Hit Ok and the PDF file closes. ANNOYING AS H#LL.
I have repaired access, and acrobat. I have reinstalled. I have checked registries. I have updated .dll's. The only help I can offer is that when opened on an IT guys computer the problem seems to be gone. I'd bet this is because he has a pro copy of adobe. Basically I'm trying to figure out if i need to convince the powers that be to put a copy of Pro on any computer using the DB (if thats whats really helped), or if there is still some way I can fix this myself. Thanks gentlefolk! You (plural) are the rule.
I need to complete a project for school for my computer class. I am having some problems with this one assignment. I am finished but want to know if anybody can help me. Just verify that the answer is right or wrong. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Here it is... Its just a fill in the blank so if anybody who knows MS access can help me that would be great. Thanks.
The word required are the ones with the underscores around them.
Fill in the blanks: 1. Some developers like to use the _Design View_ property for a field to document its contents, such as identifying a field as a primary or foreign key or providing users with instructions about entering values into the field.
2. A _Query__ is a database object that stores criteria for selecting records from one or more tables based on conditions you specify.
3. To select multiple controls, you could click a control, and then press and hold the _Shift_ key and then click the addition controls you want to select, releasing the key once all the controls are selected.
4. A form?s _Table_ is the underlying object that provides the fields and data in the form.
5. You can view a description of each property in a property sheet by clicking the property and then pressing the _F1_ key.
6. When you select a control, eight handles appear on its corners and edges. The larger handle in a control?s upper-left corner is its _Move_ handle.
7. A(n) _Data Type_ displays a list of values, and lets users select one from the list.
8. Each report can have up to _Over 300_ sort fields.
9. An advantage of using the _Table Wizard_ to create a table is that the sample tables and fields already have properties set that might work well in your database or that are easily changed to accommodate your specific data needs.
10. In Design view, you can use the _Property Sheet_ to set the properties for fields that do not use the default settings.
11. In Access, you can specify restrictions on the data that users can enter into a field by creating a(n) _Validation Rule.
12. If a user attempts to enter an invalid value in a field, the _Validation Text_ property for the field opens a dialog box with a predefined message that explains the valid values.
13. In Access, you define table relationships in the _Relationship_ window.
14. You use _Borders_ around field names to distinguish them from function names or other types of values.
15. When entering the data in a table in Datasheet view, you would press the _Control + Minus Sign_ key to cancel a record that you have just entered.
16. In Access, you can control the format of a value by creating a(n) _Input Mask_.
17. A(n) _Look Up_ field lets the user select a field value from a list of existing field values stored in the database or from a list of values specified when the field was created.
18. The primary objective of creating a(n) _Indexed_ field in a table is to prevent users from entering duplicate records into the table.
19. If an expression is complex, you can use _Brackets_ to indicate which operation should be performed first.
20. To move from one record to another in a main form, you would click the buttons on the _Navigation_ bar at the bottom of the main form.
I am new to access, so I haven't been able to come up to speed on all of the functionalities that it has. I have a table with a social security number, an effective date, a department, and pay periods. I have seven other tables with a social, a date, and absentee occurances. For any social in the seven tables, I need to subtract one pay period from the original pay period table based upon the max effective date that is less than the occurance date. I am dealing with large amounts of data, at least a million rows in the original table, and 50,000 in the 7 smaller tables. I know access may not be ideal for this solution, but it is what I have to work with. Any suggestions?
I have been trying to figure out how I can make the x-axis show month abbreviation names instead of numbers. Please see attached gif.
Currently, I use the Month([DateField]) function to get numbers of the month because if I use Format([DateField], "mmm") to get "Jan, Feb, March" the chart sorts the months in alphabetical order instead of the correct monthly order.
How can I be able to use the Jan, Feb etc... labels and have the chart sort them in the correct month order and not alphabetical order?
Create a temporary table to hold the results. Use VBA to open the data table and temporary table in two recordsets. Loop through the records in the data table and place the data in the temporary table in the required positions.
I am trying to merge data with MS Word, but am getting problems. I only seem to be able to merge a single record. Can anyone help pls as this is quite urgent
I have a database created containing 2 tables. (tblAnnualService and tblCustomers). I have the Repair Order set as the primary key in both tables since it should never have a duplicate. I have a one to one relationship, enforce referential integrity and I have cascade updated related fields. The join type I chose is 3. Include ALL records from tblCustomers and only those records from tblAnnualService where joined fields are equal.
I have a couple issues ongoing at the moment. I have a button on the master form (frmAnnualService) used to input service information for each customer. This button runs and update query that updates tblAnnualService and all fields on this form are bound back to tblAnnualService.
With the setting on the relationship as listed above neither one of the tables is being updated. When I change my relationship and remove enforce referential integrity and cascade updated fields, change join type to 1. Change only include rows where joined fields from both tables are the same the tblAnnualService updates but the tblCustomers does not.
I have another form (a postcard mailer frmPostCardback) that is bound to the tblCustomers. I need to be able to from the frmAnnualService input the data, click the update query table button and have it update the tblAnnualService and the tblCustomers. I assume I do not have my relationship setup correctly. Can someone please assist? I some background with Access but need your comments to be specific and detailed so I can make sure I am correcting the issue properly.
I Need to eliminate repeat entries of Names in a Combo pull down list
I have since found out that this is possible with the DISTINCT directive in a simple query like SELECT DISTINCT [Name] FROM Miracle_Cloth_Main ORDER BY [Name] DESC; as the source property of the combo box.
It looks like ACCESS needs A primary Key included in the querry for the source property of the combo for the FindFirst function in the after_update event of the combobox to work with a code similar to
The Wizard generate the following code even if you don't select the Primary Key(RecordNum) during the creation process.
SELECT Miracle_Cloth_Main.RecordNum, Miracle_Cloth_Main.Name, Miracle_Cloth_Main.Cust_ID FROM Miracle_Cloth_Main ORDER BY [Cust_ID] DESC;
Even if you add the DISTINCT Cluse to the above code it doesn't filter the repeat data.
Is there a compromise where I can get the Filtering by DISTINCT clause to work with the code generated by the wizard so that I get the FindFirst function as well to work ?
I'm creating a database for my computer repair business and it's going to store details on my customers, their computers, and any repairs I carry out on them.
I've created some tables, but I'm unable to create the relationships I require between the tables. Here's what I have:
I want to create a one-to-many relationship between the tables left to right, excluding the Engineer table, which I will talk about in a moment.
The idea is - One customer has "many" computers, one computer has "many" repairs, one repair has "many" problems. Each repair has just ONE engineer assigned to it, although the engineer will be assigned to many repairs.
I can link the Customer and Computer tables, via the CustomerID, but when I try to connect the other tables, I get the "Relationship Type: Indeterminate" error.
Can anyone help me with what fields I need in each table, and what relationships I need to achieve what I need?
I am trying as hard as I can to learn Access. I am developing a database for my signage design business. I've been at it for about 5 days already. I know this question would be a piece of cake for the experts in this forum.
When one of my artists finishes with an artwork, he will save this as a jpeg file. I want him to upload it to the database via a form.
1. I would like to come up with a command button that, when clicked, will open a browser on the users remote computer and enables him to find the file to upload.
2. When this file uploads, I want it to be saved in another directory, outside the db, and then linked to a field within the db.
Im new to asp and access and have been having this problem for serveral weeks.
Every couple of days, all the asp pages on my site that communicate with the database start having 500 internal errors. i turned off the "Show friendly error messages" and one page gave me this specific error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/admin/submitlogin.asp, line 8
I have tried a million things and have no idea why this is happening. Im not sure what other information i should post in order to see the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Private Sub NextApplication_Click() On Error GoTo Err_NextApplication_Click DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Exit_NextApplication_Click: Exit Sub
Err_NextApplication_Click: If Err.Number = 2105 Then MsgBox "Cannot navigate to the next record. This is the last record." Else MsgBox Err.Description End If
Resume Exit_NextApplication_Click
End Sub
but even when this error occurs nothing is being properly handled the way i specified - any ideas ?
Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following: 1) Shows all records 2) Requery 3) ApplyFilter. The Where Condition for the filter is: Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
Okay, I'm kind of stumped here.I have a subform that has a button that sends a user to a "sibling" subform on another tab page, pass some information to ensure they are adding more details to the same records rather than creating two separate record.First time I programmed it, I got an error 3022 (keys cannot have duplicate values). I checked the query of the sibling subform and saw that the ID is from the one side table. I changed it so many table's foreign key is used. Second try, I got an error 3341 (there isn't a matching key in one side table).After some thinking, it also occured to me that I had set the query this way to allow addition of new record which wouldn't be possible if I had the query pulling the many side key, not the one side key.How do I get the subform to accept the ID that is being passed and create a new record using that ID?:confused:

From the second iteration its not picking the error.
Is it enough for error handling to code the on error property for each form? With enough I mean error handling which lets you resume the program.
Ontherwise I have to code (or call a procedure) for each coded event which i wouldn't prefer
For instance now I'm putting error handling in each event but would consider it more efficient if it can be placed once in each form Private Sub cmdReport_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdReport_Click
Not sure how to work in the '* ROLL *' into this SQL statement. The query statement works fine ... I have tried different quotation methods ( Not Like " & " ' * ROLL * & ' " & " ) AND .... )
sql = "SELECT DISTINCTROW Sum(CDbl([Scrap Factor])) AS SumOFScrap FROM [RT: Signpro1: Costs] LEFT JOIN [DT: InventoryExtend] ON [RT: Signpro1: Costs].[Part Number] = [DT: InventoryExtend].[Part#] GROUP BY [DT: InventoryExtend].CategoryID, [DT: InventoryExtend].Description, [forms]![signpro sign estima parameters]![combo14] HAVING ((([DT: InventoryExtend].CategoryID)=30) AND (([DT: InventoryExtend].Description) Not Like '* ROLL *') AND (([forms]![signpro sign estima parameters]![combo14])=1));"
hi guys i was wondering if you can help me this is my code: i have a main form with this code, this form contains a subform linked by the All_PricingID
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblAll_Pricing") 'main table ' adding data to the table rst.AddNew ' Main table rst!All_PricingID = Me.txtPricingID 'Main table pk rst!MainContract_ID = Me.cmbMainContract 'combo box in parent form rst!ItemNumber = Me.txtItem 'Main form text rst.Update
'sub Table Set rst2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblPricing") 'sub table For varItem = 0 To Me.lstsubContracts.ListCount - 1 'this is a list in the main form '--- loop through all the items in the list box and create a new row in the subform for each subcontract in the listbox lstSubcontracts. rst2.AddNew rst2!ID = Me.All_PricingID 'sub table foreign key rst2!SubContractID = Me.lstsubContracts.Column(0, varItem) 'sub table rst2.Update Next varItem '--- close the tables rst.Close rst2.Close Set rst = Nothing Set rst2 = Nothing
the subform appears correctly with the rows i wanted added but i need the user to be able to edit a column in the subform for the rows just created (my form is on datasheet view). but everytime i move to cursor into the subform, i can't even scroll up and down.
i keep getting an error 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. (Error 3022)
but when i check my tables tblAll_Pricing and tblPricing , everything is inserted correctly according to my recorset above, do you know why this is happening? and why i am not able to edit my subform. my subform allowsedits and additions.

I'm from Vietnam and my English is bad. In my database, I have only a table named tblEmployees, which contains these following fields: Employee_ID (data type: text), Name (text), Salary (number) and Allowance (number). I build a form bound to this table. In the footer of this form, I have a textbox control named txtSumSalary that contains the expression: =Sum([Salary]). Everythings is OK. But when I build an another textbox named txtSumAllowance that contains the expression: =Sum([Allowancess]) (I misspelled this field intentionally), the result are error #error in both textbox controls. I don't understand why the textbox txtSumAllowance wrong, the textbox txtSumSalary is wrong too. Help me!!! Thanks a lot!
Hi. The following message appears when an append query is run in one of my databases "Error No:6; Description: Overflow". I've never seen it before, can't find it in Help - nor anywhere else on the net. All assistance greatly appreciated!
I have the following code as error handling in a form that gives me Run-time Error 438 "Object doesnt support this property or method" with "Msgbox..." highlighted... Code:'Error Handling On Error GoTo cmd_icp_catcode_Click_Err'and later in the code' Exitcmd_icp_catcode_Click_Exit: Exit Sub' Error notificationcmd_icp_catcode_Click_Err: MsgBox "An unexpected error hass occurred." _ & vbCrLf & "Procedure: cmd_icp_save_Click" _ & vbCrLf & "Error Number: " & Err.Number _ & vbCrLf & "Error Descricption:" & Err.Descricption _ , vbCritical, "Error" Resume cmd_icp_catcode_Click_Exit I can provide any more info that you need... I am just surprised because i have used the same code on several forms before and this has never happened!
I have a database networked with about 8 users. We have been having a problem recently with a specific table. Occasionally, when a user opens a specific form based on this table the entire form is whitened out. When I open the database there is no major curruption, but then when I check the specific table I always find one record with "#Error" shown in every field. I cannot delete the record (invalid argument), so I compact & repair the database and the bad record changes all fields to "##########". Then I can delete the record and all is fine.
Any thoughts on what can cause this kind of error ?
I'm getting the following error when I try to switch to design view. Also I can't close the database: :( "You can't switch to a different view at this time. Code was executing when you tried to switch views. If you are debugging code, you must end the debugging operation before switching views."
