Hi all - Got a big problem on my hands. I just rolled out my DB to about 50 staff and some of them are having problems. An error message keeps coming up when they enter the DB saying that the "Left" function is undefined. I figured out how to go into VB under Tools and References to get the "shappmgrp 1.0 Type Library" clicked. The problem is that even after I fix it manually on the staff's pc's, the problem comes back. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to automate it so my DB automatically calls up this "shappmgrp 1.0 Type Library" Reference on bootup. Any thoughts would be great. I'm really stuck here. Thanks.
Hi, i've developed a program in access 2003, but now i'm on access 2000 and seems that one / more library is/are missing..
i've this part of code
Private Sub List0_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Dim strOrd As String, strSql As String If Button = 1 Then If Y <= 225 Then If Right$(List0.RowSource, 5) = " Asc;" Then strOrd = " Desc;" Else strOrd = " Asc;" End If strSql = "SELECT cliente.CLI_ID, cliente.CLI_TITOLO, cliente.Cognome, cliente.Nome, cliente.Indirizzo, cliente.Cap, cliente.[Citta'], cliente.Regione, cliente.Nazione, cliente.CLI_SOCIO FROM cliente WHERE (((cliente.CLI_SOCIO)=Yes)) ORDER BY " Select Case X
and this is the screen with the libraries currently installed ..
This is an ongoing problem I have had for 4 weeks now.
I have made a a system thats acts like a clock In/clock out Out system.
the structure is somthing like this ID Username tblDailyLog TimeIn MorningBreakOut MorningBreakOut LunchOut LunchIn AfternoonOut AfternoonIn TimeOut
All fields apart from ID (autonumber) and username (String*255) are Date field (there are a few others like DateOfTimesheet etc but they arnt important here)
When a user arrives in the morning they make a record which they use for the day
They then have a form with a whole bunch of buttons which simply updates the correct field. For example they click the "Sign in for the Day" button and it updates the correct field with the current time.
Everything was going fine until people noticed that every now and again a sign in time dissapeared.
I have hacked myself to death trying to solve this problem but still the updates go Astray.
Now each time a time is updated the process goes somthing like this
1. the user opens their timesheet for the day (the RS is SNAPSHOT and no locks)
2. User Hits a sign in/out button 3. The record source is changed to "" and all buttons hidden (to ensure the record isnt locked and to make sure you dont do two things at once) 3. The table is updated with the new time (using some dynamic SQL) 4. The table is repeatadly checked using a DO loop to make sure the the correct time went in. 5. when the returned time value of the field matches the varaible used to update it, the form is returned to normal and the user carries on his/her merry way (if it never matches the screen should crash but this never happens). 6. A New record is added to another table called "tblbugfixinglog" which records which field was updated and when. This is so that I have two records in two different ways (figured if one went astray I could pull it back off the other) 7. Another new record is added to yet another table called tblSQLRecord, which simply logs all .RUNSQL statements that are executed.
I thought that the two extra tables (and the check that the record had been updated) would help me track down where the records are going missing, but this isnt the case.
Now it appears that some records arnt being added to tblBugFixingLog and to tblSQLRecord either and some of these tables are getting quite a few #ERROR's in them..
None of the tables are related to any other and i've no idea how #ERROR lines are appearing in a table that has 1 function... to recieve new records ... no editing, no viewing, no deleting.
Does anyone have any idea how these updates/inserts can go missing or create #ERRORs. I've built plenty of Databases in my time and have never come across this. __________________________________________________ ______________
This is the function I use to add a record to tblBugfixingLog and tblSQLRecord
Private Sub AddBugLog(ByVal TimesheetNumber As Long, ByVal FieldUpdating As String, ByVal NewFieldValue) Dim TempSQL As String TempSQL = "INSERT INTO tblBugFixingLog (TimeAndDateOfEntrySERVER,TimeAndDateOfEntryPC,Fie ldUpdated,NewEntry,UserID,TimesheetNumber,Computer AssetNo) VALUES (" & _ "#" & Format(ServerGetTime(Environ$("LOGONSERVER"))) & "#," & _ "#" & Now & "#," & _ "'" & FieldUpdating & "'," & _ "'" & NewFieldValue & "'," & _ "'" & GetNTUser & "'," & _ "'" & TimesheetNumber & "'," & _ "'" & fOSMachineName & "')" ' MsgBox TempSQL DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblSQLRecord (Username,DateAndTime,Screen,TheSQL) VALUES('" & LoginInfo.sUsername & "','" & CStr(Now) & "','Add Bug Log function','" & CleanData(TempSQL) & "')", False 'CleanData is a function that removes ' and " from the SQL string so i can easily add the SQL string into the table DoCmd.RunSQL TempSQL, False End Sub
Public Function CleanData(ByVal DataToClean As String) Dim TempData As String Dim i As Integer TempData = "" For i = 1 To Len(DataToClean) Select Case Mid(DataToClean, i, 1) Case "'" TempData = TempData & "`" Case """" TempData = TempData & "`" Case Else TempData = TempData & Mid(DataToClean, i, 1) End Select Next i CleanData = TempData End Function
I ran into this the other day and thought that I would post it here if anyone is interested.

There is a shareware version for $39. I have always wanted one of these and free is a very good price and if you want more functionality, there is the shareware version.
I have created a databse, that handles, names,addresses, items bought, and so on.
Because of this, the database uses the internal variable Date().
I recently fitted a new hard drive, and when I came to run the database, to print out addresses, it complained that a missing DLL (Iaiexplore.dll) was needed. I clicked OK, and every field or line of code that uses the Date() variable no-longer works without this DLL. Which is off because this particular DLL belonfs to the Intervideo WinDVD player! My database handles a lot of things, but it doesn't play DVD's!
If I create a new database, the Date() variable works, it juswt doesn't work in mine without that DVD player being installed. This has baffled me. I did have this app installed, but I switched to another DVD player, after fitting the new Hardrive.
For one-reason-or-another my database has a dependency for this DLL, and the Date() string won't work without it. And this of course, has a knock-on effect of stopping something else from working. I went to Macros/Tools/References, and removed it from there, but it still didn't cure the Date() problem. Although it didn't ask for this DLL again.
I cured it the last time by re-installing the DVD player, but this is ridiculous, and seems overkill.
1) I am making a library database. I created a simple query to identify books on loan.
I need a form to browse all books, not just the unavailible books. However it needs to show that the book is unavailible/onloan (like my query identifies), perhaps by changing the colour to red or an "on loan" tickbox,
How do I achieve this?
2) How do I run some code on startup? I found code to change the main background colour, but I don't want to assign a button to do it
Hi there! I haven't done any work on MS Access for some while now and I would like some help, to get back into things I want to do a library database system. I would like to have a table for 'customer' and 'books' and 'books out on loan'My idea for tables so far are:Customer{ CustomerNo - autonumber(PK) First Name - Text Second Name -Text Surname - Text HouseName - Text Street - Text County - Text Postcode - Text Phone - Number E-mail - Text}Books{ ISBN - Number(PK) Title - Text Author - Text On_Loan - Yes/No}On_Loan{ ISBN - Number(FK) Title - Text(FK) CustomerNo - Autonumber(FK) Date_Out - Date/Time Date_In - Date/Time(PK) Fine - Currency}Do these tables look ok?I'm know how to make these tables, but the forms and querys are a bit foreign to me after having time away from access, could anyone please advice me on how to go about this or show me examples of how to do this in access? I want all books taken out have an automatic 7 day renewal date from the current day! and all out standing books on loan to be printed off in a mail merge. Fine in table On_loan should be the cost of x amount after each day over the renew date. so if its 20p per day then after 3 days fine would be 60pAnd a page to add new customers/books.:)
I've downloaded a database which creates cascading combo boxes; it's called CreateCascadeCombo, for which I am grateful to whoever took the trouble to create it.
However, after it has done it's work and vreates the form in my own datbase, it says to make sure the latest DAO Object library must exist in the same database. How do I ensure that is is? I'm using access 2003.
Hello, I'm trying to set up a database for a library but I'm having a lot of difficulties and I'd be very greatful of any help. Well my main problem is the loaning and returning of books (which is a pretty big problem considering...). Anyway I can't figure out a way of having multiple orders (a maximum of 3 books at a time) and then being able to update tables for when the books loaned out and returned. Then another problem is how fines would work, ie [('returndate'-'datedue')*whatever] but how would this actually be displayed and used. I apologise for not really explaining myself well, but here is what my tables and relationships look like (which I think maybe where my problems are starting):
One last thing - I had a look at some of sample library databases but I the only one that did really what I wanted used to much VBA and I couldn't really figure out how it worked. Thanks a lot for any help.
hi friends, i have tried had to connect sub type tabels (Saving, Checking, Loan... they have their own ids...) with super type (Account...it has account id...) on the condition of account_type (either "S","C" or "L") attribute in ACCOUNT entity. how to joint them??? with query or with expression?? i expect help from you.........please. ........thanks.
I created an app that used the 10.0 library and a field office that recieved the app is using the 9 library. They are having difficuties getting buttons on forms to work. They are getting a 2580 error something about the SELECT statement. Could the library be the problem and if so is there someway I can save mine using the 9 so it will be compatible? Thanks.
Okay, I have been away from in-depth access for several months and now I am transfering my project to a new computer with Office 2000 and latest patches installed.
When I try to run a screen, I get the error "Compile Error. Can't find project or library."
I check the references against the old computer and they are all the same.
The silly thing is that it is built-in functions like "trim" causing the error.
I know this is very basic but I forget what causes it.
I am designing a library system for an A2 project and i was just wondering if i could have a validation rule to prevent a copy from bieng borrowed if there was allready a record for a book in the database with no value for returned field. (meaning it hasnt been returned and its currently out) Im pretty noobie at access
LOAN__PUPIL_COPY___BORROWED_____Returned 100001 1001 10001 17 November 2004 100002 1002 10002 20 November 2004 100003 1003 10003 17 November 2004 100004 1004 10004 18 November 2004 100005 1005 10005 20 November 2004 100006 1006 10006 20 November 2004 100007 1007 10007 20 November 2004 100008 1008 10008 20 November 2004 100009 1009 10009 20 November 2004 100010 1010 10010 20 November 2004
This is how it looks at the moment. Im not sure where you would add a validation rule. The records in this table will be kept, and when a book is returned a date is added to the returned field. MANY thanks for anyones input, ive been brain storming it for weeks but i dont think i can do it without any code of some some sort.
Working on an Access 97 database that I have inherited, on win 2000. The database is converted into an .mde file for the users.
I need to convert my new version to an .mde file, it does convert, but then when trying to open it afterwards gives the error below. Believe it's connected with the startup form frmsplashscreen which has 'on current', 'on open' and 'on timer' events
The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Cant find project or library.
I have gone back to the .mdb it was converted from and compared the startup form to that of a previous version. All the code is the same. I have also tried commenting out the on open event, which then changes the error to
The expression On Current you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Cant find project or library.
I don't understand why it does not work, this same form opens fine when it's an .mdb file.
This is the first time I have worked with .mde files...I've looked on the internet, can't locate the exact error but similar ones point to problems with files on my ws (references etc). Previous versions of this database as .mde files work fine though? Just say if you want the code from the startup form.
If this post is in the wrong place please feel free to move it. My Question concerns MS ACCESS and the DAO 3.6 Object Library. The Version of Access in use is "Microsoft Access 2000 SR1".
My database resides on a server and people can log in to the database from terminals which may not have "MS DAO 3.6" linked as a reference within the version of Access installed on the terminal. How can my database (on opening) check the machine it is opened on, to see if that machine has the "Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library" linked as a reference. And if DAO3.6 is not linked, to set up a link.
Currently I have to manually set a link from tools/references within the VB window on any Terminal that opens the database. I need this DAO library linked for the database to work properly.
I have an application which includes a process that creates an excel sheet with some data. For this I have set reference to the excel object library. I am now packaging a demo of the application with Office Developer and including Access runtime. The question is what to do about this reference, since when I look at the file that it uses, it shows Excel.exe. I don't suppose I can legally be sending that file along with my program. Is there a different reference that I could set that would give me what I need? I noticed this in testing because it is the only reference file that wasn't automatically included in the package.
Hello, I'm new to Access. I've recently started helping here at a non-profit literacy org. They have a small library and they were keeping track of it in an Excel spreadsheet. I moved it over to an Access database which seems much more appropriate and better in a lot of ways... Anyway, I'm not sure where to look or even exactly what I need to ask but here goes.
I think what we want to do is something like an invoice. The current database has one record for every book in the library and each record has fields like: book name, checked out (yes/no), date due, and borrower name.
It was nice and easy to write a little query with "<date()" on the due date field to generate a list of overdue books, then we used Word to merge the data and generate letters to send to the people with the overdue books. The problem is that most people have checked out more than one book so our simple merge ends up making one letter for every overdue book.
The first thing we'd like to accomplish is: how do we make a table? querry? report? which makes a new table with one record per borrower then each of the books that borrower has checked out?
It doesn't matter to me which way we do it, just so long as we can end up making just one letter per borrower, with that letter having each of the books listed. This seems kind of like an invoice to me, so maybe if I looked at invoice examples that would help? But that might just be more complicated and confusing?
If it's not too hard, there's a 2nd thing we'd like to do, and that is to, either from a 2nd database, or from data in the same database, but in a different "table"(?) get the person's address and merge that into the letter too, based on the borrower name.
Sorry if I'm being an annoying NOOB ~ if you think there are some things I should read first before asking these sorts of questions, perhaps you can point me too them? I'm at the stage where I don't even know enough to know what I don't know yet.
Just for reference, I do have tons of general PC & software experience, and have learned the C/C++, BASIC, Pascal, FORTRAN (77), 65816 assembly/machine code, and even a little LISP.
The Str() function is a basic, how can this function be missing? I had a problem not so long ago with not being able to change background colors via VBA 'cause, I'm almost certain, the same error message.
Somehow my Access installation is broken, or my HD is dying? Haven't noticed any other errors with my system though.
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question but I am trying to create a tree view library reference database for several pdf documents I need to index, and would be happy if there is a sample available to download.

I have VBA code that makes use of the Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library, but if I have this selected whenever I try to do anything in the Form Design view it is constantly freezing. It will literally say not responding" for a minute or so then I will have control again.
I want to set up a Library File containing code that I can call from numerous access databases.
I try to make reference to the newly created Library.accdb file in Tools - References and get the error message: Name conflicts with existing module, project or object library.
I have checked the names of all of these and there does not appear to be a conflict.
The way I'm using the lending library is to check out something that may have multiple of the same item. Rather than making the same exact asset information, is there a way I can check-out the same asset to several people? I think this would cause issues with the Check-in/Check-out query but I'd rather have a function where I could check-out one ID to several people and change the check in where I would have to pick one of the people who have it checked out.
