Lookup Value Code Broken... HELP!!

Sep 27, 2004

The following code is being used to pull in the Name from the previous record into the current record. It works GREAT for 28 records, and then it starts just pulling random names from the source table. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!Private Sub Form_Current()

Dim s As String
Dim db As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Set db = CurrentProject.Connection

s = "SELECT Last(ERName) AS ERName FROM [Staffing]"

Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open s, db, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
'add to the table

With rs
Me![ERName] = .Fields("ERName")
End With
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing

End Sub

Broken Link To VB Code

Sep 13, 2005

I am having trouble with a simple data base where I have 1 main form with 1 sub form, but when I try to use the form (go from design view to datasheet view) I get the message

Error Accessing File
Network Connection May have been lost.

and the link between the form and the code seems to have been lost ... I can no longer edit the vb code (it keeps reverting back no matter what I type).

When I delete the form, the VB entry remains - (since it is no longer linked with the form). Running the database this way I get error messages saying there is a Macro with a misspelled name (ie: it can't find the form with the name).

The only way I have been able to get rid of it is to create a new form with nothing in it, save it and then delete it.

Really frustrating!!!!

Any ideas on how I can get rid of this problem, best ways to re-build the data base (I have created a new one, imported the tables and created new forms from scratch ... then this problem comes back@&^^#%$@).

Thanks

Lookup Value/Defalut Value Code

Sep 22, 2004

Can anyone tell me how I should modify this code to make it functional for pulling up the previous record's value in the current record? i realize this is wrong, but it's as close as I could get. Do you know how I can fix it so that it will work? I want to put this in the default value field. I think there's something wrong with the Previous Record part. Thanks!


=DLookup ([ERName],Employee Records, [Forms]![ERName] = Previous Record)

Modules & VBA :: Code For Specific Lookup Selected

Jul 17, 2013

An if statement which will disable out a field depending on which type of field is selected from a separate lookup.I know that is confusing, so let me explain with an example. If I have a lookup field connected to "Vegetables", "Fruits" and "Nuts". If the user selects a "Vegetable" from the lookup field, I need another field disabled, for example sake, "What fruit did you buy?". If the user selected a "Fruit" from the lookup, "What fruit did you buy?" would be enabled.

I know how to enable and disable fields, but it is the If Statement. How would you specify an If statement to specifically look at which category of a lookup is selected?The lookup is not static. So going with our example, the user can add more fruits, vegetables, and nuts as desired, so simply specifying the IDs for the available options will not work. The If statement needs to encompass the category.

Queries :: VBA Code On Subform To Lookup Email Field On Table And Launch Email?

Jun 26, 2015

VBA Code to go in the on double_click event of a name field in a Subform bound to a table. The subform is just a copy of a data table and within the subform view, When the field "employee name" which contains e.g. John is double clicked, I would like access to Lookup and get John's email in the employee table under field "Email" and launch outlook application and insert it into the To field.

I assume hyperlinking the field can also achieve this similar to what excel does but I am fast learning that what is standard functionality in excel is a whole another story in Access..

I've Broken My Buttons

Mar 29, 2006

Hi,

I have created a small problem for myself.

I was editing one of my forms, which is something i do often normally without a hitch, and once i'd finished i noticed that my find contact and add new contact and also delete contact buttons had stopped working. These are all totally basic buttons made with the control box wizards by the way. During editing i cut and pasted one of the labels away from the data box so that i could position it without the actual data box moving along with it. then once i had it where i wanted it i re-associated it with the data field/box. This is what i suspect caused the problem.

Anyway, i've tried removing the broken buttons and creating new ones but i still get the same error.

here is the error in all its glory.

http://www.ntj9.co.uk/access_error.jpg

i've tried some stuff i found on ms knowledgebase but didn't have any luck so i hope you can help me people.

many thanks for reading anyway.

Fixing Broken Switchboards

Mar 10, 2006

When I added some Access 2003 (Winows XP) machines to our Access 2000 (on Windows 2k)-based database, many of them would not operate some of the Switchboard "buttons" (especially for reports that contained macros). The animation of "click" would operate, but nothing would happen, no form or report would occur like it should.

After several rounds with Microsoft's Access Help guys, here's how we "fixed" it:
1. I deleted all printers from the affected user's computer.
2. I booted into SAFE MODE with NETWORKING, then installed the Windows-based GENERIC TEXT printer.
3. I rebooted into XP and installed the GENERIC TEXT printer there also, for the affected users.
4. I re-installed the usual office printers around our office.

This completely fixed the problem on all XP-based computers. The technician at Microsoft says he cannot explain WHY this works, but I have experienced that it DOES work, so try it if you're having troubles, too. It's some kind of mysterious workaround that "fixes" Windows XP somehow.

Relationship Window - Broken Or CE?

Jun 8, 2006

HI:
I have a db with about 70 tables in it. I am trying to see the relationships among say, 40 of them, all at once. I like the view of the relationship window but: I cant scale it, select multiple tables and reposition them, use the mouse wheel to move it (only the window sliders), and, I have to click on a table entry to allow me to reposition the table (should'nt I just have to click on the table outline itself?). This is a really awakward thing to use. Also, I can't seem to 'Shrink to fit' the relationship window when I print it.
Is it cockpit error or just really broken?
Any way to make it easier to work with?
(or, did I choose the wrong DB tool for the job?)

Thanks for your suggestions.
John

Table Relationships Broken

Feb 27, 2008

I have a database which has been running well for four years. There are four tables that are linked from one to another in a one-to-many relationship, i.e., Table1 to Table2 to Table3 to Table4. We recently had a power failure and our network went down. Now the relationship between Table2 and Table3 is broken. When I try to rejoin them using the Relationship View, Access tells me that the relationship between the tables is "Indeterminate". I have run queries testing for unmatched records between all of the tables and the data appears to be fine.

My only guess at this point is that the structure of one of the tables is corrupted. The problem is that each of the tables has an autonumber field. If I build a new table structure, and append my old data, isn't that going to renumber all of the records?

I have run a compact and repair on the database and that didn't help. I have made copies of the tables and tried to use them in the relationships. The copies don't work either. Other than not being able to link the two tables, everything is working fine.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Cherry

Urgent DB Relations Seem To Have Broken Down

Sep 14, 2004

Can anyone shed light on why my Database seems to have stopped working so far as I've a combo box on a main form, which provides one half of a PK/FK relationship. The subform displays one or more records for this value. However, I've just entered the same 'value' (string) for an entry in the combo box as another, which shouldn't display any records in the subform yet - but it displays the records of the first combo 'entry'. This important thing is that the key's are all unique (I've doubled checked this), so why does it seem to not work?
Please.

Missing Or Broken Reference

Apr 19, 2006

missing or broken reference to the file ‘plugin.ocx’ version 1.0, and also in file 'msoutl.olb version 9.2’


It says I need to fix these references to ensure the database or project works properly.


(The references shown as MISSING in the Visual Basic Editor are:


Microsoft Active X Plugin

Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library)


Clicking OK lets me into the database and all seems to work fine. However, the last thing I want is for the whole thing to fall over and become corrupt so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Repair Broken Linked Tables

Apr 27, 2005

I've search the forum but couldn't find anything on this, maybe someone can point me in the right direction...

My application consist of two Access files: Front End & Back End. The front end is linked to the back end using Linked Table Manager. A problem arise last week when the IT renamed one of the folder in the program path, as a result, the Front End file cannot find the Back End file (I guess the links were static). So I had to relink the tables manually and got it working again. However, in the future, I won't be around to relink the tables, and my client doesn't know how to do this (and I don't want them to have to do this every time the folder is moved).

My question is, is there a way to link it so that it will adapt to path name changes. The two files are in the same folder.

I am looking for something like: when the front end opens, if the link is broken, it relinks it to the data file in its current database folder. Thanks.

Missing Or Broken References - Replica

Aug 4, 2005

Love this forum! It orginally helped me build a database to manage customers back in 2002 (using Access 2002). Becuase of our slow server, I was forced to spilt the database and it's been great for years (some glitches). Recently one of the users upgraded to Access 2003. When he sync's to the master file, the master has problems. "...contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'OWC10.DLL' version 1.1" I reviewed the references and it's looking for Microsoft Outlook 11, instead of 10. When other users sync, everyone now inherits this problem. Do you have any ideas for a solution so I don't have to fix reference problems? All users will eventually be on Access 2003 so having him stop using it would only be a temporary solution. Is there a patch or upgrade to fix this problem? Any help? thanks in advance....

'Missing Or Broken Reference' Help Required.

Mar 10, 2006

Hi everyone,
Im building a database as part of a group project for uni. Its almost finished but recently on first opening the DB and clicking on a button on the form we get the following message boxes:

Firstly:

Your database contains a missing or broken reference to the file ‘OWC10.DLL’ version 1.1.

Click ok

and get...

Your database contains a missing or broken reference to the file ‘MSCHRT20.OCX’ version 2.0

When i click help it talks about deleting references but im not sure how to do this as im no expert by any means! :rolleyes:
I think this problem may have arisen because our accountancy department computers use access 2003 and the rest of the uni uses xp and we have been working on them both - oops! :(

Anyways i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to fix these problems?

Thanks in advance.

Is Access Security Broken In Windows 98?

May 15, 2006

Hi I've noticed totally different behavior with my secured databases in 98 and in XP.

In XP Access Security works. In 98 it is broken.

For example today I secured a database. I went to another computer running 98 and Access 2002 that was joined to the default workgroup file system.mdw . They still had full access to the database and were not even asked to enter a login. Once I joined the correct workgroup file the security was implemented though. (In XP if I go back to the Default workgroup file the security is still maintained.)

So strange. Where is the security if it is totally ignored on 98 operatings systems? Someone can just make a copy of the database and have full access in 98 despite the database being secured.

Peter.

Peter.

Then your db is not really [correctly] secured. You should get the same result by copying the database to another computer and the user should be able to open the db without using your workgroup file. Sounds like you have joined your computer to your custom workgroup file [or worse, you have modified the default "System.mdw" file on your computer with your new security settings. Search around the forum for you problem has been asked and answered in many other threads.

ghudson is correct. The behavior you describe occurs whenever you connect to a DB using the default SYSTEM.MDW file. I have answered this question beaucoup times, so look up posts on "Security" where I have contributed comments.

To understand why this occurs, you need to know one more thing: The name of your workgroup is a registry function. You would see the same behavior when you move the .MDB to an XP machine but never join the correct workgroup on that machine. (Because, of course, the registry entry isn't changed until you JOIN the workgroup.)

Your database is not properly secured. Take a look at the Security FAQ document. Search the kb or you may find a link from here.

Why are you double posting?

At least Pat gave you the same answers as your first posting recieved...

How Do You Ix A Broken Database When You Can't Touch The Back End?

May 17, 2006

I have been asked to take a database created last year and re-design it to make it more user-friendly.
Not a problem, I thought when asked but I am running into a little problem...(the database designer)
In my opinion, to make a system more user-friendly there is a necessity to access the code and tables in order to gain a reasonable knowledge of the way in which it has been constructed. Unfortunately, although I am allowed to LOOK at the front end, I am not allowed any further access to coding or back end information.
At present middle management are siding with the database designer as they feel that from a security standpoint, access needs controlling (I can agree with this to an extent)
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can talk the management round or any suggestions for a way through this issue?
(Oh, and I'm not allowed to build them a new database and substitute it...I already asked)

Regards

Jason

General :: Permissions Broken Moving From 2003 To 2010?

Sep 27, 2013

I have been asked to look into fixing a permissions problem with a database. The company has been in the process of updating the OS on our computers.

The database in question is stored on a shared network drive. It opens fine on a windows XP machine running Access 2003 but when the same user tries to open the database from windows 7 using access 2010, the message: "You do not have the necessary permissions to use the '<file path>' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you."

General :: Detect Broken Backend Connection At Startup

Feb 17, 2015

I have a split Access 2010 database. If the backend file is not accessible (for instance, if our shared folder connection is broken), I get no warning message at all when opening the front end. Just the home screen you would get when launching access from the Start menu. I was thinking of adding some VBA code to my startup form to give users a warning that there is a connection problem, but Access won't even load the startup form.

Tables :: Broken Relationships When Field Changed To Autonumber

May 4, 2013

I created a database with 10 tables and 8 relationships. Then, I learned about the Autonumber field type and decided that I wanted that to be the primary key of one of my existing tables, for a field that was already linked to 2 other tables. I had to delete the relationships and the original field to make the change, and Access said it had to delete an index, too. Now, Access won't allow me to re-establish those relationships.

I found that I had to change the fields in the other tables to match the Autonumber type and name of the original field, but now I am getting an error message stating, "Invalid field definition 'CustomerID' in definition of index or relationship. What does that mean? The field types and names are all the same.

Forms :: Picture Link To Folder Broken By Moving ACCDB

Jul 8, 2013

I have a MS access db with a report that displays a list of students with a pic of their face on the side.

The pics are linked to a folder thats inside the folder where the .accdb file is stored.

The accdb is often moved around, but when it does, all the links become broken and the images are no longer displayed on the list.

How can i adjust the link path so that regardless of where the accdb is moved, the links remain valid?

I am using ms2007 and also its not a networked area but rather a bunch of standalone computers.

Excel Import Link To Access Is Broken - Data Won't Update

Apr 12, 2014

I have a workbook which has links to access to import data. I have to have the information in Excel for a couple reasons:

1.) Many of our customers don't have Access.
2.) The customers use a "discount calculator" to apply their own discounts.

They also use it to then apply their own margin mark ups to be able to then use to quote to their customers. So a static report/pdf for them to look at doesn't work.

I've begun to create links from a number of queries in Access, which work fine. My problem is when I go to update the data. I'm not getting the following error coming up:

The database definitely hasn't moved. And I've run the queries in q, and there aren't any problems there. I've looked this error up and I'm seeing that it could mean that I've got some corruption going on.

Before I hit my main q, I should also note: I'm running all of this on a Citrix network. I should also note that it's a consulting gig. Once I'm done, I won't be available to fix major issues like this.

LookUp Tables For Dynamic Set Of Attributes: Set A Pointer Or Use A Generic LookUp?

Jul 24, 2007

I'm wrestling with the issues; in other threads, it became apparent that because I could not know ahead of time what I will need to know about a given entity, I will use a table to enumerate attributes that is applicable for a given entity.

However, the stumper is that what if an attribute should conform to a set list of values? Since they are dynamic, I would have problem predicting what I will need to be able to lookup, and am even don't know whether I will need a one-many lookup or many-many lookup.

I thought that generic lookup table with a table listing "classes" of lookup would allow me to have one big generic lookup table while using "classes" to act like virtual tables so I can then set the query to appropriate "class" to return just right set of values.

But as I thought about it, I ran into some issues which is pulling me toward the crazy idea that I should have freestanding tables, and use a field in tblAttribute to give me the table's name so I'd know which free-standing table it points to, and have the necessary key to lookup the values within that table.

Even though my gut instincts tell me that I shouldn't be going against the conventions of database design (who the frick goes around creating free-standing lookups?!?), I'm simply not sure how I can use a generic lookup table to hold all information.

For example, suppose I was given a list of values that has its own categories. Since the former design allows only for two level (lookup and lookupclass), where am I to insert that extra level?

Furthermore, I found myself needing a set of virtual keys to reference a certain "class" of lookups for report purposes. That means I need an extra field in my lookup table than I originally anticipates. What if I find myself needing one more field that just won't fit the generic lookup table?

So does anyone have suggestions on how we would create a placeholder for a lookup table that will be made just in time?

Filtering Lookup Value Based On Other Lookup Values

Jul 27, 2015

I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".

Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.
