Hello everybody.
I made a small access program.
When I run a macro I get a error message saying that the macro can only run 20 times. I tried to solve this problem by having one macro calling another macro, but it does not work. Anybody any idea how to solve this problem.
As attched file I send the program in ZIP format. If you want me to send it in not ziped, please tell me. OK how can I send attachements here. I don't see it. So please tell me if you want me to send it to you by mail. My address is bvdhaegen@gmx.de
If you go on record 12 and click on refresh, you'll see the problem poping up.
Thank you all for your help.
Is there a way to increase the maximum characters allowed in an expression of a macro setvalue action ?
I have an expression in a macro setvalue action that adds multiple form textbox values. I need to change the form name from "RATING ENGINE 2" to "E RATING ENGINE 2". When I do this, I exceed the maximum characters allowed in the expression. Is there a way I can rename "RATING ENGINE 2" without this problem. The expression is as follows:
I have my data updated 3 certain times in a day. So i dont want to bother opening the same access 3 times a day. That access can be opened whole day no problem for me. So, how to run macros automatically in a time which I determine before ?
Following on from that thread, I would really like to tidy up other areas of my front end. I am using the idea that Roy suggested and it works very well.
At the moment, I have a form, that has buttons on it that people click when they want to generate specific sheets from excel using data from access using VBA on the form. These work fine, however, now that the database is going live and all features need to be added, I think it would be nice to have one small form, with a list box.
I have converted a copy of the code on the form and placed in a module by declaring then functions instead of private subs.
At this stage, I tried doing it with macros running the code by using a series of runcode. I then created a table that has the macro name stored in it along with a decriptive bit of text detailing the excel chart that gets produced to make it easy for the user.
The list box populates itself correctly, but the problem I am having is I do not know how to make the 'go' button look at the list box, pull the hidden macro/function name from the list, then go and run the macro/function.
I have tried looking about, but have not found anyhthing.
I am trying to populate an Excel Shreadsheet (Template in Effect) with Data from Access. This is going ok no problem. Although I need to run an excel macro, which does some formatting to the WorkSheet after each entry in the Access Recordset. I've tried copying the VB over, but getting some errors, and frankly, I think it's easier if I just call the macro itself, rather than try to adapt it for the Access context. Though, I accept it would be a cleaner approach. Can I do this?
I'm having to recode some old MS Access DBs so they will run in the following environments:
Office 2000 on WinXP Office 2003 on WinXP Office 2010 on WinXP Office 2000 on Win7 Office 2003 on Win7 Office 2010 on Win7
When I wrote my code for Office 2000 on WinXP things were simple because directory paths were the same across all computers and I could hard code pathing when using a shell command to launch other files.
My new approach is to make a function call to the Windows registry to determine the default executable and path for opening a file based upon its extension (see apicFindExecutable in basWindows API module).
I'm able to use code to create a shell call and debug print it to the immediate window. If I put my cursor in the immediate window at the end of the shell call and hit [enter] the external file will open as desired. If I try to open the external file directly through code, I get a file not found error.
To recreate the error take the following steps:
(1) browse to files that are accessible from your computer (2) click the PREPARE DATA AND OPEN MAIL MERGE DOCUMENTS command button
Shell function call is made by the fnOpenFile function located in the basOpenFile module. There has to be a trick here that I'm missing.
I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
Hi to all; I am not familiar with access function, in Excel its very easy to find the max value at row level, what's the formula in access query to get the max of this example Co1co2 co3….co60max(co1:co60) 200150300 500 ? 212542321 222 ? thanks in advance for respond Majed
I have an expression in a query which is checking a list box on a form. If the list box is empty (is null), then I would like the query to search on the highest (maximum) value in the specified field (CourseFK), otherwise it will look for the value in the list box.
Expr1: IIf([Forms]![frmEditDeleteStudentDetails]![lstEditCourseFK] Is Null,[CourseFK]=Max([CourseFK]),[CourseFK]=[Forms]![frmEditDeleteStudentDetails]![lstEditCourseFK])
However it seems Access will not allow me to do this - I get an error about an aggregate function in a where clause.
Can someone please suggest to me how to get around this? Eg, is there an alternative way to search for the maximum (still needs to be determined dependant on the list box).
Hi, Can some1 tell me how to create a query that shows me the ProcessID for max time and date (date and time are in separate fields) for every PersonID. I need to run a query once in 5 minutes to check the job that every person is doing. They are entering the processID every time they get a new work to do.
How do you find the maximum of four fields in each record of a query. Say (for example) you have daily records of the rainfall across four cities, where the cities are the fields in the query. how do you write an extra calculated field to the query that shows the max. rainfall across the fields on a paticular day.
I am a beginner and have a very basic query. I would like to create a field which returns the maximum value across a number of fields for each record. Is there a function that would do this?
To explain in more detail, each record is a customer and the fields are their purchases by month. I would like to get the maximum monthly purchase amount for each customer over the past year.
Hi, we use access for localisation in our application. The business object which accessess the access uses DAO connectivity and we often land to "Too many client tasks" problem.
is it wise to change the DAO to ADO? if so the above problem will go off? what are the chances that the problem still persists?
is that access has any limits on the number of connections? like 64, 255? or is that ADO/DAO has any limitaions on the number of concurrent connections to access DB?
How many users can an access database support? I'm setting up an app accross 3 workstations but each has multiple users. There may be as many as 1000 records a day entered. Can an access database handle this or do I need to switch to sql server?
I understand that the maximum file size for an Access db is 2GB but can you essentially have as many fields as you like as long as you do not exceed the 2GB threshold?
I am doing some planning for creating a database with ~90 fields and want to know before I start it whether it will be able to handle that many.
My issue: Does anyone know the maximum number of (one to one) relationships with cascading deletes a table can have?
Background: I have a split database peer-to-peer application with ten simultaneous users, 250+ linked tables running on A2K, AXP and A03. MSDE and SQL Server are presently not viable options.
I'm unable to manually or programmatically relate one table to 73 others with referential cascade deletes; some of the 73 are related to still other tables. The one table is used as a recordsource on a subform on each of 73 different main forms, each of the latter having a different recordsource.
In other words, I want to delete a record in any of 73 different main forms, each with a unique table recordsource, and then cascade delete a subform record (which has the same table recordsource, regardless of the main form).
If I combined the 73 into a single table, I'd have a monster record with 500+ fields, assuming the latter is even possible, and in which event perfomance would suffer from excessive network traffic.
What I've tried: I haven't worked this issue for some time and have forgotten the number of relationships for a single table I've been able to create. As I recall, it's on the order of 20 relationships maximum for one table.
Of course, I can do it programmatically delete the subform record on the OnDelete event of the main form, but, for elegance, I'd like to use a cascade delete.
Peer-to-peer network performance is not presently a problem.
I would like to know if there is a maximum nb of columns to use in a table or at least a prefered max nb. For example i have a table "customers" and inside i have "name" "last name" "age" "gender"..and so on is there a limit? By the way i'm using access 2007
My quiery is supposed to search through a table of names, and find the latest timesheet entry date for each name, as follows:
ID: 1 Name: John Timesheetdate: 1/1/2005
ID is specific to each name.
I want the result to be a single row for each ID/name, and to return ONLY the latest timesheetdate (this could either be the maximum value or the latest entry).
I have a feeling that this is a simple problem, but i just dont have the knowledge to do it, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a database of song track data with track length as a field. I want to produce play lists up to specific lengths e.g 15 minutes and just want the query to show me enough songs to fill up this time period. Any help appreciated - especially simple solutions! Jim
