Query Design View is only showing Tables pane (top). Fields pane (bottom) is missing from previously saved queries. New queries show both panes as usual. Does any have any idea why? I cannot find any settings to show the bottom pane (or to hide it). Please help
View RepliesI'm building a web application that mimics the keyboard navigation of Microsoft Access.
What is the keyboard shortcut that will move the focus from the navigation pane on the left to the content area on the right? I can't figure out how to do this in MS Access without using the mouse.
Hi all
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"))) & "#," & _

"'" & 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 have no idea how this can create #ERROR lines in the table when it is just added to and nothing else.
Does anyone have any clue to what may be happening here.
(Oh yeah and no matter how hard I try, I can't replicate the problem.... works for me every time no matter how harse I am to it!)
Please save what little hair I have left and give me some hope
Cheers

Hi, im creating a new database system and want to give them a help facility in the form of a help task pane. Where they can access help from the table of contents, click on the item they want and the relevant help will appear.
Does anyone know how i can build this from scratch? :confused:
Is there a way to always keep the task pane open? Right now when I open a file from the list on the task pane displayed under OPEN, the task pane disappears when the file opens. Then when I open the task pane again by clicking on the little white sheet of paper icon at upper left for "new", the task pane opens but the recent list of files used has collapsed and I have to click on the little house at top right to display the list of recently used files again so I can open one of them. Is there a way to keep both the task pane and the list of recently used files open at all times? Thanks.

I know how to remove the Navigation Pain (or Pane) so that it doesn't show on start up, but if you then want it (F11) how do you then get rid of it!! :eek:
It's driving me mad!!!
All you seem to be able to do is open and close the "shutter bar" and not remove it completely.
Any suggestions? :confused:

Does anyone have a problem renaming tables, queries, etc in the Navigation Pane? The Pane is set to view by list. If I right-click on an object then click on Rename, the focus just moves to another object. If I use the shortcut menu key on the keyboard then type "m" for rename, the inside of the orange highlighted object turns blue briefly to show you can type in it, then immediately reverts to orange. I don't know if this is a problem with my PC (HP laptop running Vista) or with Access.

LockNavigationPane set to Yes is not the solution as this only prevents people adding, deleting and moving objects (such as tables/querys/forms).

Something in the line of :

But is it possible to do something similar with the Navigation Pane?
I'd like to count the number of objects in my DB to check if I'm running into the 32,768 object limit. I'm experiencing unusual and disconcerting behavior, and all the normal corruption repair techniques aren't working. I've imported all the objects into a new database container, decompiled, compact & repair, and nothing works until the I delete some objects (forms, reports, queries, etc).
New objects created don't appear in the navigation pane until I close and re-open. Also, changing a query type from select to append doesn't result in the icon changing in the navigation pane.Code seems to run fine and everything else appears OK, but I really can't continue development until this issue is resolved. I fear continued development may lead to further corruption.after 20 years, this application has grown, I use a variety of techniques to get the size of the application. Currently:
1. 201,200 lines of code in 910 modules, reports and forms.
2. 544 forms
3. 328 reports
4. 3,617 queries (yes, I know, but it's so much work)
5. 450 tables (about half are linked)
I always thought, without thinking too deeply, that the number of objects in the spec refers to the number of reports, forms, modules, etc. But, now I'm wondering, do they also mean all the controls on the forms, and or the fields in the tables? What do they mean by objects.
I used Point Limited's translation modules recently to extract all the label and caption text for a French language translation project and it pulled out something like 21,000 individual controls, and, combined with this issue, I'm beginning to wonder...
I have a user login form wherein my users authenticate their employeeid as well as their person PIN. If the user authenticates with a valid username/ password combination, then the employee id and the role (permissions) for that user are stored on the form and it is minimized to stay open. If the user that authenticates has "Admin" role then I want to unhide the navigation pane. For all other roles I want the navigation pane to remain hidden.
That said, the default setting in the database is for the navigation pane to remain hidden. I have a piece of code on the login form as follows:
Code:
If Me.role = "Admin" Then
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "NavigationPaneObject", True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowUnhide
Else
Exit Sub
End If
This is successfully unhiding the navigation pane, but I'm getting the following error message and I don't know how to get it to go away."Run-time error '2544':
"Microsoft Access cannot find the NavigationPaneObject you referenced in the Object Name argument."The code is unhiding the navigation pane.
Can the navigation pane be set so it is automatically hidden?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to hide/unhide the navigation pane completely by using two buttons (pop the hood & close the hood) in a form. At this moment I used the following code:

DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True

End Sub
Private Sub Command78_Click()
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True

This however makes my form shut down and not my navigation pane.
I'm ready to "publish" my desktop db for end users, however I want to limit their ability to view the objects in the Navigation Pane. Essentially, the only way I want the user to be able to interface with my db is through the forms I have created.
