I have copied and pasted some data into a table from Excel but Access wont let me add in any more data to the table - a notice comes up saying "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data".
How can I add my extra information to the bottom of the table?
Okay this i definately need help with. I want my form to behave in the same manner as a datasheet in that it just displays rows of data. I want to create this how do i do that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a continuous form that I need to appear as a datasheet (one record per row). The data fields are "locked" to the left edge of the form. How do I free them for realignment inot a row (instead of a stack)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form in datasheet view, and I am wondering if it's possible to specify "pages" with a set amount of records per page.Think like the search results of Google, you get a huge number of results, but only so many are displayed per page.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a query that's been working fine for years, however...the powers that be have requested a change. We need to track the lining owners in cars. We've recently gone to SQL on the back end (which I basically know NOTHING about) but I set up the new table, refreshed the connection, etc.
I can see the table fine and it says it has a primary key, auto numbers, etc. however, as you can see from the jpg below when I add the table to the query and link the id as in all the other tables, for some reason, this one makes all the data disappear when in datasheet view.If I delete the table from the query - it all comes back.
I'm trying to put in a Where Condition for an ApplyFilter action, but it only allows up to 255 characters, I need more. I have very little experience using code!I want this to be the Where Condition:
Code:
[Program Name] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Organization] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Program Type] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Main Office City] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*" Or [Main Office Province] Like "*" & [Forms]![Program List]![Text34] & "*"
How do I make this into the Where Condition? An full example would be nice.
This may seem like a dumb question.
Is there any way to make a checkbox object larger, or to change the character that signifies that the box is checked ( for instance a character "X" instead of qa check??
Thanks
Is there a simple way of increasing the size of the yes/no box on a form
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a field that is in text format that is used as a discussion box. This limits the user to 250 characters because of Access limitations. I have tried the memo format but that will not allow me to query off of that field. How can I have this discussion field with unlimited text capability and also be able to query off of it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to run compact and repair on any database that is ~500MB or larger, Access crashes . It is pretty consistent on when it crashes.. e.g. a DB that is 692MB crashes when the temp DB reaches 569MB.
Here is where it gets stranger. .problem happens on multiple databases and I can copy the DB to another computer with Access 2007 (Same version) and Compact/Repair works fine.
For problem / attempted corrections I have tried the following with no luck
Checkdsk - OKBoot in Save Mode - Compact / Repair still crashesMove DB to another HD on my computer (Thinking I may have disk failing) - Compact / Repair still crashesUninstall / Install Access - - Compact / Repair still crashes
I'm having a problem with my database filesize getting larger with the more searches i do. At first i couldn't figure out how it was getting so big, but then i tried a few things and came to the conclusion that every time i do a search it increases its filezile.what made me notice this at first is that the file size of the original copy of my db is 13MB, but if i Save As a different name, like Assets_Backup, then the size of the new file is only 2MB, and after i do some searches it increases again.here is a file with just my search form and search query so you can see the code for them. i removed everything else to shrink the file down, which also made the search form not function properly, but i thought the design and code might be enough.is there something that i can change to keep it from remembering every search?thanks for any help.--------------------after searching the topic a bit more i've found that compacting the database will shrink it down to 2MB, but is this something that will have to be done on a regular basis, or is there a way for it to do it on its own?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a DB of books and a form to search for multiple fields including ranking (combo box). The way I have it now is to pick "3 stars", "4 stars", "5 stars". What I want to do is have it so that if I pick "4+", it will show all records that have 4 stars and 5 stars and "3+", it will show records with 3, 4, 5 stars.
View 14 Replies View RelatedHi,
There is a requirement for
1)Populating a datasheet in a subform with a querystring which is dynamically built in VBA.This querystring is constructed based on the search criteria fields selected by the user in the main form.How can this be immplemented?
2_To click/double click a record in the datasheet,extract data and populate textfields,comboboxes with it which are in the main form.How is this achieved?Also,I can't find click events in a datasheet.
Pls let me know.
Thanks,

Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

I'm new to this.
Is there a way to make a Form Datasheet (including calculated cells) update the corresponding Table Datasheet?
I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf
View 1 Replies View RelatedWould it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an access 2000 db. My users open the DB and I have it launch a simple “startup” form with various buttons for the most used features. I have one button that launches another form. The default view of the form is supposed to be in ‘datasheet’ view. However when I click the button it opens in ‘single form’ view.
What can I change on this vb code to allow it to launch in datasheet view instead of single form?

Hey guys.
Well this is a new on for me, the idea is this.
By using a datasheet view in a subform and a custom popup menu I can allow users to filter down to the records they wish to view, in whatever order they want, and then allow them to open/edit said records with a Double-Click Event.
Fact is there are so many ways that different departments wish to filter this works in theory and in a sample I have created. A search or filter form would be huge. This seems simpler.
Ok, all good in theory, I can restrict “new” and “edit” etc, but I can just see users resizing the datasheet view to something only brain dead users could do or hiding columns. <SHUDDER>
So my question is, can or is there some why that I can use the OnOpen or OnLoad event to re-size the datasheet to a default size? (Well the fields in the datasheet mainly) This would allow you average bi-polar user to mess and re-size until their coffee mugs run out and the next user doesn’t get left a mess. (Which would then force them to ring me!) <SHUDDER>
I hope this makes sense, I really hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Have a look at the sample database attached to get a better idea of what I mean.
Thanks :)
Exporting datasheet to word, how is this possible using vb. Actually, I do have a thread in Form forum. But, I think not a lot of people visit that place. Anyways, I have created bookmarked and used datavariable to export the data (by ansentry's help). But the only thing that it exports is just one selection on that datasheet, instead of all the chosen rows.
I am exhausted now after searching everywhere, and not finding a clue. How to resolve that situation. If there is an example that I can use, that would be gr8.
Thanks In Adv.
I have subforms that are datasheet view, if the user rearranges the coloumns, or resizes etc , I would like to save what they have done so it is as they left it next time they open up the screen.
This works fine with an mdb (all my forms are set to close acsaveNo).
However in an mde this doesn't work.
Can I get this to happen in and mde.
(A button that saves a layout change would be fine for my purpose)
Thanks

Is there any way you can specify the size of a datasheet?
Say the datasheet opens up with 600x800 size?
or 10cm x 15cm?
HI
i never needed help this much.
i worked on an access application for 1/2 year. Everything went fine. But now we wanted to start working with it, some older acces versions are acting weird.
I have a form that contains a subform datasheet, and the datasheet has a datasheetsubform aswell.
This works fine in 2003. De datasheet is displayed, and when you click on the plus, the other datasheet opens in the maindatasheet.
But in 2000, you dont see the plusjes.
It is a major issue that i fix that! can some help me to solve this?

Hi,
Is there a way to set the background color of a datasheet? I don't mean the color of the cells, but the datasheet itself outside of the rows/columns as shown below (dark grey color):

I have a form and a datasheet subform in Access. A form has person info and datasheet subform has 4 fields: QuestionID, QuestionNumber, QuestionName and Answer fields. The Answer field is a dropdown field and has 3 items: Yes, No and N/A. If QuestionNumber from 3 to 6 the answer was Yes or No then lock the Answer field in Question 7. Any idea how to do it?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen you select the Data sheet View you display error messages in the Accounts Sub reports fields.
The database has been included as a reference:

Under Current balance,Spent, and Encumbered Columns you get error message instead of the actuall totals.
Please tell me how to correct this prolsdms
