I'm somewhat new to Access, so I'm using the wizards to get me started to make forms and reports.
When you first click on the "Create Form by Using Wizard" it asks you to select the fields you want to use from the selected Table or Query. Unfortunately no fields show in the "Available fields" box.
I know I have fields in each table or query. I even tried to make a dummy table using their field names incase mine contained invalid characters.
I've tried it in both the Form wizard and the Report wizard.
The fields of all the tables and queries used to show up when I first install Access.
What am I doing wrong? Should I try to reinstall the program?
I have never used wizards with access (or anything else for that matter). What is general view? Are they actually good news or do they get binned with witches and warlocks? I could use some of the techniques involved but where does one find an intro - preferably using access.
In Microsoft Access 2000 I'm getting the following error message when I click on visual basic Event Procedure for the first time.
"There are no registered wizards of this type." "Rerun Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office Setup to reinstall the wizards. If you want to preserve your security or custom settings, back up the 'workgrp file name here' workgroup information file. For more information on backing up files, search the Microsoft Windows Help Index for 'backing up files'."
After I click OK on the error it goes back to Access. If I click the event procedure again visual basic opens up though VB the screen isn't what it suppose to be. The Object and Procedure pull downs at the top of the page disappear behind my toolbars and I can't get it to setup correctly. If I try to maneuver them correctly they still don't line up. This error seems to be messing that screen up.
This is only happening in one of my databases. In my other database the Object and Procedure pull downs at the top of the page are coming up correctly. If I start a new database that works fine too. I'm not sure why its doing it only on this database
I'm worried my VB is corrupted. Looking for any insight on what caused this and how to fix this.
i am using MS Access 2010, i am on initial stage and i have to made main log in form or switch board, but as soon i create a blank form and click on button in design but only command button appeared but not along with command buttong wizards so i will select button to close application or to open a farm and so
The problem occurs on a WinXP machine with Access 97.
When Access is run as a Power User everything works fine but when it runs under a user account that is a standard "User" non of the wizards function properly.
By changing some file permissions I can get the control, form and report wizards to work but the Import Data wizard still fails.
I'm sure this is a permissions issue and can be fixed by changing the security settings for some registry keys or files, but have no idea which ones.
I (will have) a form which a user fills in to enter new data.
I have two fields,
"Branch" and "Branch ID" (Branch ID will not be on the form, just in the table)
Branch will be fed by a combo box with seven choices. I would like it so that when "Branch" is populated it autopopulates Branch ID with a code which relates to the branch, so for example
I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:
tbl_Courses Course ID (Primary Key) Course Title Objectives
Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)
tbl_Instructors Instructor ID (Primary Key Last Name First Name Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)
[code]....
What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.
I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?
I have a db of about 10,000 records or so. This is a list that will be used for emailing purposes...and I want to limit the number of records per company that are emailed to.
I need to figure out a way to limit the number of records per company....any suggestions?
I cant find this for the life of me... this is the second day trying to figure it out. Anyway enough crying:D
Question: Either using a SQL statement or query builder, how is it possible to make the field selection come from a form, ie a combo box, text box etc. or a variable?
Reason: Im trying to make a dynamic searching form which will allow the searching from customers via a few of many columns which reside in 4 different tables also. Using a cascading combo box system to eventually narrow down the correct one. The above is my first hurdle and I think once I get past this brick wall I will be back on my way.
I have a table to store the new append records from a SQL statement. In this table I have defined a "Status Date" in field type date/time with format dd/mm/yyyy. However, when execute the SQL append statement, the system has appended the record with format of dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.
The problem is when I run the report with a date range input, the report cannot select any records with such date range. I have examined the table format is correct, but I found the data actually included the time in it. Do anyone know how to overcome this problem?
I am fairly experienced with Access but am stumped. I have a table with a primary key ID field, product name, and product price. On an order form, I want to select the product from a combo box and have that product's price automatically populate a text box beside it for further calculations. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
Im trying to get one of combo boxes to update a field automatically.. There are two choices in this combo box "Gatwick" and "Woking" what i need is when one is selected the JobNo field will update itself to GWO-(the first Unused JobNo) Ive used some VBA to make atleast the GWO- or WWO- appear and it works, but i have no clue as to how to get the next unused order number to appear after it.
I have a database newbie question. I am writing appli. in asp. i have 2 table 1 MsgMst and 2 UserMst UserMst has fields ID and UserName and MsgMst has fields ID, UserID (which is ID from UserMst), MsgDate and Msg. I want to list UserName, MsgDate and Msg in 3 columns of table. Can I get all three (USername from UserMst parallel to UserID in MsgMst Table) and MsgDate and Msg fields from MsgMst table in a single Recordset? What should be SQL Query?
I have a table with several fields including the following 3 fields:
dtmAppoint Date = stores appointment date dtmAppointTime = stores appointment time lngAppointDoctorID = stores doctor's id for specific appointment
When I enter a new appointment, I want to know whether a specific combination of these 3 fields already exists. The doctor is actually a dentist and maybe another appointment has already been placed for the same dentist on a different chair. Creating a recordset as indicated below works but I am having some problems with comparing Time (dtmAppointTime). The following works but I need to extract Hour, Minute and Second and put it into string variable strTimeDum.
I know many are opposed to multi-valued fields, but in this case it works out nicely for my purposes.. I pick a couple things from a table to put into a field in a separate table via multi-value lookup, and when I hit ok, nothing happens. Literally. Tried the enter button, tried a mess of different keyboard mashing, and nothing. URL....
Row Source: SELECT [Cage Codes].[CageCode], [Cage Codes].[Company], [Cage Codes].[Division] FROM [Cage Codes] ORDER BY [CageCode];
first of all, i'm new to access. the only experience i have with it is reading the "microsoft office inside out", access section, and doing some research on the web.
i work for a school district and my boss has asked me to make a database with all our assets. i used to have everything in excel, but he prefers access, so here i am. what i'm wanting help with is making a combo box that lists manufacturers like hp, dell, etc., and then having the next field show a list of models depending on what was selected in the manufacturers field. so if i select dell, i want only dell models to show up in the combo list for models.
i can make the combo lists, but i don't know how to make it so that the entry in one field affects the list in another field. i've tried putting in lookup values, i've tried doing it with expressions in queries, and a few other things. i've tried searching google, and the forums and i've found things that are kind of similar to what i want, but doesn't do exactly what i want. so here i am...is there a simple way to do this? this isn't required of me, but now it's driving me crazy because that's the way i'd like to have it but i can't figure it out.
I'm trying to filter my table so that i can make it a query. The data in the Facility is linked to another table with FacName and FacID. When i try to filter the data to create the query from the table, it says type mismatch. It's really bothersome....btw is there another way to create a filtered query?
I need help to populate a certain selection from a drop-down (combo box).........OK I have a field named REP ID/REP NAME....(Rep stands for contractor)....Each Rep is assigned an ID and the first two numbers in the rep ID correspond to the territory in which they sell products...So for example 5830 John,Smith the 58 would be Northern California....Now what I want to create is a field named TEAM which would consist of Team A through Team D....Every Team is associated with different territory numbers to lets say I click 5830 John, Smith I would want Team A to automatically be populated in the TEAM field....Someone please helpp....And I hope I described it correctly
I have a database which keeps track of a trucking business. Each truck has a trailer number. I have no problem having a query prompt the user to enter a single trailer number to query on. What can I do when the customer needs to select more than one trailer number to query on?
I have a combo where the list is populated with a bit of VB code to create a two field list. When the user selects the item they want from the list it displays the item in the combo box and should populate a text box in the same row with the value from the second column.
This combo is part of an orders subform and the user is selecting a product from the list which displays the product_name and the product_id.
The problem is that the product_id is not filled in and access returns the following error: Run-time error ‘3101’: The Microsoft Jet database cannot find a record in the table ‘product_table’ with key matching field(s) product_id.
This is the VB code that populates the list : [code] Private Sub comboCatagory_ID_AfterUpdate() Dim sProd_description As String sProd_description = "SELECT products_table.product_id, products_table.prod_description " & _ "FROM products_table " & _ "WHERE products_table.prod_catagoryID = " & "'" & Me.comboCatagory_ID.Column(0) Me.comboProd_description.RowSource = sProd_description Me.comboProd_description.Requery End Sub [end code]
I've inherited a database that has a table with a large number of Yes/No fields. Apart from normalizing the database, I was wondering if the following was possible:
ContractTable has Yes/No Fields for rights granted for each order (television, dvd, internet etc).
Using a form, the user selects the specific right they'd like to run a report on - selecting this right from a drop-down menu, this is labelled "RightsCombo21" on the form.
When the button is clicked, the right selected is now the "Field" section of the query.
The SQL query right now looks like this (shows all rights sold for the territory):
WHERE ((([Contract Table].[Contract Cancelled])=False) AND (([Contract Table].[Contract End Date])>Now()) AND (([Contract Table].[Contract Type])="License Agreement") AND ((ContractIDAndCountry.CountryName)=[Forms]![TerritorySpecificRightsChooser]![TerritoryCombo7]));
I'd like to add something to this WHERE statement:
AND (([Contract Table].RightsCombo21)=True)
Not sure if it's a syntax issue, or I'm attempting something that isn't possible.
I need to have the user select what fields he wants displayed in the subform, (this i think would be best to have a selectionform open and have a list of fields that can be placed in the sub form i was thinking of using checkboxes for this), then i would like to open the mainform and the subform would display only the fields the user selected.
I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
