I was having trouble adding my records to my subform. I think it was going into my main form, which is unbound. When I removed the navigation bars from my main form and added them back to my subform, I lost my records that i had. They are still in my table, but not showing in my subform. How do I get them in there?
View RepliesI have a database used to track my personal assignments, created about six years ago using Access 2003 on Windows XP. Recently upgraded to Access 2010 on Windows 7. At some point thereafter, I started having the following issue:
When a new record is created, that record gets added to the table, but doesn't show-up in any query, form, or report until after another new record has been added. The most recently added record cannot be located to view or update, except in the table, until after another new record has been added to the table. Queries, forms, & reports now always lag behind by one record.
None of the queries, forms, or reports tested contain filters. I have several multi-user databases that I also support and none of those users have reported having this problem. This is only happening on my personal database.
I've re-created this database once or twice in the past to resolve other issues, but would like to avoid that route this time around, if possible.
My form which is based on a table carrying same name doesn't append the full length of the text to one of the fields.
I don't know where the mistake is occurring or indeed I don't know if the error is in the table or in the form.
The form is showing full length of the text but when I look it in the table, it has just one or two bits of the full length.
Hi.
I have a subform (based on table "Source") that allows the user to create a new record in another table "Events" (it copies some entries to facilitate entering new data). The data should then be dispayed in another subform. However, the newly created redord is does not show in the subform although I use Me.Refresh. When I close the form and then open it again it works - but there has to be an easier way.
How can I reload the data from the table. I have looked but am unable to find the right method.
The code:
'Create New Record in Table Events
Call AddEvent(EventDate, Country)
'This function opens the table and adds a record
'Open Subform
DoCmd.GoToControl "subfrm_events"
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
Me.Refresh
Help would be much appreciated!
In my website I've created a admin login with some ASP pages to edit and update stories.
I use an acces database and installed HTMLarea for WYSIWYG editing.
When I update text, all the HTML tags show als plain text in my website.
For example: I make a headline bold in my wysiwig editor and I update my text, it just shows: <B> here's a new story </B>
If I look in my database I have a field 'text' wich is a memofield and I can see the html tags have been stored into my database. <B>here's a new story</B>
It looks like it doesnt recognize the html tags as HTML, but just as plain text...
Can I use HTML-tags in an acces database and how do I get them to show up right in my website?
I have some tab controls, which for some reason show up white.
I have set their back style to transparent but it doesn't seem to show the grey Windows colour of the background form.
Any ideas why ?
AT the moment I'm having to put grey rectangles in various places to cover this up, which is obviously not ideal.
Hi,
Does anyone know if I can just show the switchboard only so that it looks like a program, or if I can use an existing MDB to create an .exe??
I have an ordinary table with 20 fields and in the design view the primary field is shown as an auto-number, but it doesn't appear in the datasheet view.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an application that has two tables, linked on a common key. The main data entry form is for invoices, and has a sub-form for parts used. A similar report/sub-report is used for reporting. Everything is fine for records that are entered via the form. My problem is that when I import data from other sources ( consolidation process ) the calculations are not performed. So when those records are displayed no totals appear until I click on a control that drives the calculations. I don't want to store totals in the database but I need to have them reflected on the viewed form without operator intervention. Otherwise I'm open to incorrect decisions when the operator doesn't notice that an invoice doesn't reflect the cost of parts used.I'm looking for a "one-time" process that I can invoke after loading new data that would "touch" each record (ideally each "new" record but there's no impact to re-calculating existing ones) and drive the calculations so that the viewed form is correct.It doesn't need to be "easy" or automated since the end users won't do it, only myself as part of the data consolidation.Any ideas?Thanks
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I open one of my tables or queries and look at the customer Id, the displayed info is a single digit. On my customers table my primary key is the customer Id with auto number with the format like this: "ID"000. This is great however, when you look up the customer id in other tables it only displayes the single digit. I want it to show up like ID001 or ID002. In the customers tables it looks just like that, but if you click in that cell/field it takes away the ID and just shows the 001 or 002. I changed the format in my other tables under customer id to "ID000" but that didn't seem to make a difference. I would like to be able to do a search lets say by customer ID in one of my products table and when I type ID005 or ID012 it takes me to those records. But right now I would have to enter 5 or 12. Datatype in my other tables on field customer ID is set to text. Do I have to do a validation rule? How can I get it to show up the way I want it?

I created autoexec macrro. But when i open the form as a dialog box it doesn't show minimize and maximize button.. it only shows close button so what should i do..Also i want to create the log in form as well..So here is what i want
1) when i open the database it shows me log in box and if i put right password and username
- if i put wrong password it should keep promoting me until i put right login details and this login shouldn't be displaying the close button otherwise users can easily access through database.
2) the navigation form should be pop up.
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
Thanks,
Aleksander
I'm using the following code to autofill the city and state on my form.
I can't figure out how to capture if there is no matching record in the table.
If there is no matching record, I will:
1) inform the user with a msgbox
then if the user wants
2) open a form to add the record to the table
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("tblZipcodes", dbOpenTable)
rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst
Do Until rst.EOF
If strZipLookup = rst!ZipCode Then
Me.txtCoCity = rst![ZipCity]
Me.cboCoSt = rst![ZipState]
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
rst.Close
End If
How can I capture if there is no matching record in the table?
Thanks,

I have a training database with multiple courses. Certain staff do course1 and thereafter course2. Course1 is only done once and course2 is a refresher done annually. I want the query to find staff that have done course2 but not course1.
Thanks.
Upon closing my frmInventory the amount stock of stock is checked against a minimal stock value. If the stock amount is below a set minimal value a subsequent form is opened telling you that stock is low and an email message is generated to notify a manager. I have a checkbox on that form which is set to "True" upon close using an update query. The checkbox is there to give users the option to either send or not send a reminder message that stock is low when a message has already been sent earlier.
The problem is that using that update query ALL records are set to "sent=true" and not just the 1 record I intend.
This is my code in the "on close" event:
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpdateEmailMinimal_True
and here's the SQL:
UPDATE tblInventory SET tblInventory.emailSentMinimal = True;
I assume what is missing is a reference to an inventoryID number. How do I do that?
Only just started happening, with no explaination! Only one subform out of 5 shows as just background space until a choice is made from a combo box and then the thing appears with the record. WHY?!?!?! I HATE ACCESS... It's rubbish!! Apologies for my outburst...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm a complete newbie at Access. A friend (she's the Secretary of our small town's Service District Board of Trustees) asked me to develop a database for keeping records of property owners here, to facilitate such things as sending the yearly fee letter, tracking mailing addresses and property addresses, whether the fee is paid, etc.
I figured out most of it by "taking apart" a database she uses for another organization. It wasn't easy, but it's all working EXCEPT the thing she uses most: a last name input form (a combo box entry field with a command button) which is supposed to bring up the appropriate "Edit Existing Owner" form by the last name entered (or give an error message if there's no owner by that name, of course). The form works - but simply brings up the last-entered record.
I've looked at the setup in the other database, I see that when I create this form relationship, the VB code is nowhere close to what's in the other database. Trying to use the code from the other database is ineffective, even though the relationship is exactly the same. I'd be happy to have someone look at the forms etc. but the database compressed to a .rar file is 818k which is pretty big - and I'm not sure how to provide just the parts which aren't working.
I can upload the database to webspace and direct someone there if they'd be willing to take a look....
Thanks for any help!
Created a button through button wizard that is supposed to open a form to add a new record, but all of the fields don't clear out. Only some fields clear and other fields actually populate data from another record.
Snip1 shows my form with a record selected. When I click the 'New Waste' button, you can see that the record ID goes to '(New)', but the fields actually populate data from another record.
This even happens if I set 'Data Entry' to yes for the form.
here's the code behind my button:
Code:
Private Sub btnNewWaste_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
I even commented out my code for duplicating my record just in case but that didn't make a different.
Code:
Private Sub btnDuplicateRecord_Click()
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Form.Controls
If ctrl.Tag = "DefaultMe" Then
ctrl.DefaultValue = """" & ctrl & """"
End If
[Code]....
edit: this problem persists in a backup database that only contains one test record. The button pre-populates data that doesn't exist in the back-up database.
I have table A with a list of Work Instruction references (WIREF) and a Issue number (ISSNO).I have Table B wth employees and they too have a Work Instruction (empWIREF) and Issue number (empISSNO).I want to check if the Work instruction Issue has changed since the employee was trained
check:
WIREF = empWIREF and ISSNO <> empISSNO for all records in table B
In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is

Any suggestions?

So, I have two forms that I am trying to make work the same way.
With F1Entry I can use the combo box in the header to select different request numbers.
With F2Finance I cannot do this. It works if I set the Form Record Source to T2FIN, but when I try to Add Existing Field, something about selector combo box breaks and I cannot select different request numbers.

i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
