Need Help With Table Error
Aug 6, 2007
Hello, I'm a newb to this forum but I'm kind of desperate. So any help someone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time in reading this.
Please be advised, I am not a super access programmer, but I got nudged into this.
I was asked to create a Access 2002 db for one of our Admin VP's that will allow her to track office supplies from our location to 5 other locations. This db would be able to accurately compile quantities, costs, location of these supplies. I created a table that would hold all the information I wanted to know. Pretty basic stuff:
Store
Item Heading
Item Detail
Quantity cost
Comments
I wanted the user to be able to input the supplies into their respective store and fill in the above. I have a lookup wizard for the store field which has all our other stores in there. I tried to do the same thing with the Item Detail field. I had about 8 pages of items that I inputed into the lookup wizard when I finished I saved my work and the lookup had everything I'd just typed in there, so I thought I was home free. Until when i closed the table and opened it again I received an error that says the following:
"The setting for this property is too long. You can enter up to either 255 or 2,048 characters for this property."
I click ok to move past the error box.
Then all of the items I'd inputted disappear from the lookup field for Item Detail I just spent 15 minutes typing in. It's done this on all 4 of my attempts.
I'm taking this to mean that I've inputed way too many items and Access just can't handle it? I'm trying to verify if that's the case (hopefully one of you here on the forum can help me out with that)
The lookup wizard for Item Detail had information in there about the types of supplies, eg "Post Its 3 x 3" or "Copy Paper 8 1/2 x 11" and so on so the user would only have to type the beginning of it in and it and then just click off on it.
I did it that way because when they want to run a report to see how man "Post Its," are in company "a" there would be almost no way they could oops it.
Any suggestions how I can get past this, or if there is a way to keep all of those look up items in there without the error.
Or, if there might be an easier way to do this.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Regards,
- Neo

I have two tables, submit and imgdest. Submit is edited by front-end users to load pictures for back-end users who then delete the images when they're done with them. Submit is edited by a form, in the form I've placed a button (Command37) that has code:
Code:
Private Sub Command37_Click()
Call InsertData
MsgBox "Completed", "0", "Completed Backup"
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Sub InsertData()
[code]....
This code was working for a short while, now anytime it's run I get error 3027 - Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. However, I can open the linked table and manually change information in it with no problems.

Our company Access database got screwed up today. I did the normal /repair to try to fix it and it the repair came back that it had successfully repaired the database. I did a compact and it came back with an error message at the end about not having rights to the database ( I was logged in as the administrator with full rights to everything). I then download the jetcomp.exe program on the MS web site but that didn't fix the problem.
When I started to investigate the problem, I noticed that the last three records in one of the tables had #Error in the same field. I deleted those records and that fixed the problem.
Question 1. If a field has #Error in it in the table view, doees that pretty much mean that record is fubar?
Question 2: Why did the Microsoft repair utility say it successfully repared the database and it still have errors.

Hello everyone!
I wonder if someone could help me with an error while trying to export a large table to TXT format. This is the message that appears (translated from portuguese):
"An error ocurred while trying to save the importation/exportation specification 'Nota de saida 2004 Exportation Specification'"
I think this message doesn't clear very much about the problem... :confused:
Could anyone help me to handle this?
Thanx a Lot!!:D

Hi there i use MS access to manage a small amount of data but i'm getting annoyed by my basic table structure.
i recently replaced all the data in the table with new data, but now i am adding new records.
thing is, tables normally default back to their original settings and layout when you enter and exit, but for sme reason, new records are appearing at the TOP of the table, instead of at the bottom.
i can re sort the table (TableID = ascending & then save) but as soon as i refresh the table (remove filter), the new records go to the top and away from other more recent records. really annoying.
i have replicated this problem a number of time with brand new tables and it's not a corruption, it happens every time. oddly the new ordering of the table changes with each record, and it seems random.
can anyone help. i DO NOT want to use a query, i have plenty of those. i want my basic table to default back to the original order it was entered and the chronoligal order of the ascending primary key.
cheers, alison

I'm a novice in fact this is my first serious try at creating a database. I'm setting up a database to track contracts both potential and active for marketing. This will be converted to a SQL when I have it finished. I have a customer table setup in the fashion of a contact list. Most of my forms need to access the information in it via a list box. I want to set these list boxes to generate a new record in my customer table if the name that is entered is not currently in that list. By using the event option "On not in list" I'm able to get the form for the customer table to open but when the new data is saved and the Customer form is closed the information is not available to the list box. How do I get it to update the list box without having the user start from scratch on that particular form?

I have a table with 140 fields (I know, this is too many). I have a date field that intermittently will not allow data to be entered. There is a pattern to the data it will not accept, but it seems to only occur in certain records and what it will or will not allow seems different in each case. The error I get when I try to save a record is: The search key was not found in any record. I've isolated the error to the level of the table. Have tried compact/repair, removing the index on the field, deleting and recreating the field. Nothing works. Help! :confused:

I have a looping error on this code. It all works fine until the very last row, on the last row it brings over the Claim_Number and the FacID, but leaves the Paid_Amount blank.
If I have 10 or 10,000 rows, its always leaves the Paid_Amount on the last row blank.
Code:
Function RunLWSPA()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rstUplo As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rstDiag As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rstTemp As New ADODB.Recordset

Hi, I have a form that consists several buttons. One is to delete a table A, then add records to several tables and eventually it will do a join and insert records to table A, and display a report. It always works while all tables reside in the same Access database. Now we are trying to migrate to SQL server but not ready to get rid of Access yet. So we exported all tables to SQL server and created linked tables. We can open tables directly from Access without any problem. It shows the contents as the SQL database But when we tried to open the form and run the same button as before, we got an error:
Microsoft Access can't delete 0 record(s) in the delete query due to key violations and n record(s) due to lock violations.
We have no idea why this happens. Most of the time, it worked the first time when we clicked on the button. But we got the message when we clicked on the same button the second time. If we clicked "Yes" then it will append new records. There will be duplicate records since it doesn't delete the existing ones.
Did any of you encounter a similar problem before? Thanks in advance!

I have a form with a combo box that contains a list of customers. Select a customer from the combo box and the form fields populate with general customer info. The form has a subform on it with a combo box where you can select products. Select a product from the combo box and the subform populates with customer-specific product info.
If I open the main form and select a customer, then without doing anything else I select another customer, everything works ok. It’s when I select a product on the subform, and then try to select a different customer on the main form that I get “Run-time error 3211: The database engine could not lock table tblCustomer because it is in use by another person or process.”
Can anybody shed some light on this? I’ve been confounded by it for days.

I have a small problem with the following command:
Code:
sTabNam = "TmpTab"
sFilNam = "C:Data.Txt"
DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acLinkDelim, TableName:=sTmpTab, FileName:=sFilNam, HasFieldNames:=True
The file C:Data.Txt contains 5 columns, separated by a semicolon with the first line containing the names of the columns. The concern is that when the linked table is created, I get a single column with all fields concatenated value. the following style :
Col1;Col2;Col3; : Column name
Val1;Val2;Val3; : Row value
What does do to have columns separated with the corresponding values?

I have a live db running on a VPN network (FE/BE both centrally located on a main server , users 'view' their own personal front end through the VPN tunnel) ) and have recently provided a new updateto the FE. Until this time , most users were problem free but one persisted in getting the above error message. Now the new update is in place , they all get it, and this is when no one else is using the db and a single user logs in and tries to use the system. I guess it must be an internal fault ( ie my fault ) but then why does it work for some and not for others?. It also works no problem on my system at home. The user runs Access 2000 and the db was developed in 2003 ( default file format 2000)
Any help most appreciated
Thanks in advance.

Hi folks.. I'm trying to dynamicly create a table in an existing ACCESS database..
Here's wat i'm using:
PHP Code:<%
strDB = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("../../../imgdbase/vrienden.mdb") & ";Uid=Admin;Pwd=mljiscool;"
sql = "CREATE TABLE " & request("login") & " (id INT(10) PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, email VARCHAR(155), gevalideerd VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'nee', inlogCount INT(10) DEFAULT 0, lastLogin DATETIME)"
Set DBConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DBConn.Open strDB
DBConn.Execute sql
DBConn.close
Set DBConn=Nothing
%>
Code:I'm getting this error:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement./mljnew/welcomeportal/registration/registration/test.asp, line 7
What am I doing wrong ??? The code here is probably the MySql correct code (Access uses different data types / field names ???) Hope somebody can help me out, because I can't find the correct data types anywhere ! (like use TEXT instead of VARCHAR, that's all I know...)
Here's the actual sql i'm using (displayed by response.write sql):
CREATE TABLE roel (id INT(10) PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, email VARCHAR(155), gevalideerd VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'nee', inlogCount INT(10) DEFAULT 0, lastLogin DATETIME)
Thnx !!!!
Roel.

I am importing csv files into tables in a batch routine and I get the following error messages. The error number is always 2391.
Field 'F1' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F4' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F36' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
I understand the first one and can find references to this on the web but the F4 and F36 escape me.
All fields required do actually exist in the table so the real problem is elsewhere.
P.S. I now think that it may be that there are embedded commas in one or more of the text fields and that the number following the 'F' indicates the position of the field in the table. I will check in the morning or create the csv files using commas and quotes.

I simply want to link a table from one database to another but am getting an Error -1002 with the error description: "'|' is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long."
I have tried just creating a basic table with one field and linking it to another database and still getting the error. It happens when I compact and repair on close.

I have two options on the main switchboard page and when I click on the second option it goes to a secondary page that gives me 3 options with the third option being to return to the main screen. When I select that option it does go back to the main screen but then on the main screen it shows the return to main screen option as well and when I select it.... it says " There was an error reading the switchboard items table." But I want the main screen to only show the original two options only.

I'm trying to add a combo box field to an existing table and form. I added the new field to my existing table and set it up as an combo box added my row sources. Then added the new field to an existing form and now am getting a error stating "The record source "Table name and added field here" specified on this form or report does not exist. When I just make the new field a text box instead of combo box it works just fine.
