Hi,
i have a form which is acting strange. i press a button that runs a macro and opens a second form based on my PersonID. ( opens the form showing that person only ). it works great for the first 2 table records. after this, i get a blank screen. not even any text boxes. i have a "where" condition which reads on the following macro sequence:-
OpenForm ( MakeYourPayment )
View ( Form )
Filter Name ( )
Where condition (="[PersonID]="PersonID] )
Data Mode ( Edit )
Window ( Normal )
my second form has PersonID field available so as i read it, my where condition should open the form using Person ID from min form to PersonID on the 2nd form.
any help greatly appreciated as there is a lot of work on this form.
Why does my sub form which is contained in a Tab, not display unless a certain field is populated with something? It's not a required field. Infact it is one of two identical fields... a relationship and a lookup to another table. It doesn't matter if the second one if filled in or not. Just this one. The record is in the database, I choose from a drop down in the header... and the subform then requeries and displays the information. However, unless this 1 field is filled in.. the subform remains blank. It is getting on my nerves!!
I am hoping someone might be so kind as to help me with a search form I am working on. I have included a test database that has the form. The form has a search box that works dynamically to show results based upon a string search as typed into the search box. The problem is: if I type any spaces beyond the last digit of what I am searching for it no longer displays the intended result.
For example; there is a field called - serial - in the test databse you will see a value in that field of 319-04. If I type 319-04 it shows that record only. However if I key in any additional spaces after the 319-04 it will not show the result.
This is just a problem because I am trying to input the data using a scanner. I have found that if I scan the barcode with the serial# it seems to include two spaces after the scan. I don't know why that is...but rather than worry about that I would just like to try and get the form to display the record even if there are spaces after the last digit entered.
You start to type with a smile on your face Form_MyForm. <-- from that point (literaly) you usualy have a list of things you can do with that form.
All i wanted to do is a requery but i have no list...and even if i type myself Form_MyForm.requery .. this will not work cause it says that it cant find the dang form.
I have tried renaming the form, let someone else type the name for me, copy&paste ..nothing work, when i get to the point...it never gives me a list of things i can do with that form.
Hello, Something weird happened to me - I have a form with continuous subforms and on it are checkboxes. When I click on one specific checkbox, a text box on the parent form becomes visible, where I can add text, which is added directly to the table in the AfterUpdate event. However, the query underlying the subform does not reflect the change, and when I either go to a different record on the parent form, or click on another checkbox in the subform, I get an error message:"This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. [...]"I can then Save The Record, Copy To Clipboard or Drop Changes.When I drop changes, the text shows up in the query, although my textbox disappears.The one time I selected Save, however, the table got messed up and a foreign key was replaced by what looks like random number [used to be "1", is now "4587525"]. A second foreign key was also changed.Can anybody explain this?And, more importantly, suggest a way to avoid this entire situation? Thank you.
I have just noticed some strange behaviour in access. I hava and asp page which gets two dates which are then used in a sql statement to refresh a page. The end of the statement deals with a between clause like this
WHERE tbl_Movements.date_of_Movement Between #12/03/2007# AND #30/03/2007#
But when I view this in design mode it changes it to
Between #03/12/2007# And #30/03/2007#
Why does it do this and what can I do to resolve it
slightly related to a previous thread of mine. thanks to boblarson and co, i have created a subform on my main form that is blank. then i press a button and the sourceobject is set to the desired form i want to have visible. i have the following code-
Private sub Button_Click()
me![MainFormSubForm].sourceObject = " Edit Person" ' name of form me![MainFormSubForm].LinkMasterFields = "PersonID" 'field on main form to link from me![MainFormSubForm].LinkChildFlields = "PersonID" ' field on subform to link to
i can get 4 out of 5 forms to link correctly. i have a listbox on my main form that changes the mainform data to show a different person.with the other forms when they are visible, i can click a different person in the listbox and all info changes. form number 5 "Edit Person" doesnt work. when the form is loaded via the above method, it shows 1 record which is the first in the query that the main form is sourced to. when i click another person in the listbox, the subform goes to a (new) record and does not select the person clicked. the main form changes but not the subform.
why does it do this on one form when 4 others work with the code? the same code is method is used.
This outputs smth SELECT Proj_Name & '-' & Proj_ID as Emp_Pr from Emp_Prj where trim(Proj_Name) like trim('Dot') ------ But not this...why ??? I am using ms access SELECT Proj_Name & '-' & Proj_ID as Emp_Pr from Emp_Prj where trim(Proj_Name) like trim('%Dot%')
After working great for 12 months my db has suddenly stopped working tonight! after opening on to the first form and clicking off any field I get "Invalid Data Format" error message pop up and transfered to the code windows. Access then tells me it does not recognise the code and shuts down !!! Has anyone got any ideas PLEASE, this is a disaster
i have an Address textbox that has key behaviour as - new line in field. this allows me to put the complete address in one box, post code is another textbox. this is fine if i want to create window envelopes but - if i want the address to look as one long line in a report it wont work since the address in the form takes up two lines -- only the first line shows in the address column of the table - hence only one row shows in the report that derives from that table SO =[Address]&" "&[PostCode] placed in the Source Code of the address only shows the first line plus post code . if i make the box deeper then it will show - but only as a second line - i want it all to be one line can i get out of this and still keep the -new line in field- behaviour? thanks in anticipation
This is for information only - I am not seeking a solution.
I created a Select Query selecting only two memo fields from a single table.
The query works correctly unless you select Unique Values = Yes which results in the error message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting less data."
Hi. I have a question prompted by database behaviour that I do not understand.
I have two tables with related records, one being a subset of the other. I have joined the tables in a query with a Left outer join relationship. I have put the query results in a form, and when a User clicks a Yes/No box, a new record is created in the subset table automatically generating an ID number using an Autonumber set to start at chosen integers. However, recently error has occured. When I view the query results some records will not allow me to create a record in the subset table stating "You can not add or change a record because a related record is required in table x", eventhough that very record is the record which the query is displaying. Some records will. The behaviour is erratic and I cannot see what is causing it. Might this be indexing related?
I am using a form with 3 combo boxes name, weight and grade. The combo boxes are cascading:
A name is selected in the first combo box, since each name has different weights attached to it only the weights associated with that name are selected when the weight combo box is clicked. In a similar vein, there are only certian grades associated with a certain weight.
The effect is to filter the results so that an invalid entry cannot occur.
My problem is that once an entry is made and I select a new name for the next entry, the weight and grade boxes remain with the same values instead of updating to new values. Updating of the boxes does not appear to be working.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
A team id can appear in either team1 or team2 (depends on how the algorithm to compute who plays who calculates it).
I want to know how many games a team plays, so I wrote 4 queries:
qryTeam1Games: SELECT tbl_Fixtures.team1_id AS team_id, Count(tbl_Fixtures.fixture_id) AS games FROM tbl_Fixtures GROUP BY tbl_Fixtures.team1_id;
qryTeams2Games: SELECT tbl_Fixtures.team2_id AS team_id, Count(tbl_Fixtures.fixture_id) AS games FROM tbl_Fixtures GROUP BY tbl_Fixtures.team1_id;
qryAllGames: SELECT * FROM qryTeam1Games UNION SELECT * FROM qryTeam2games;
qryNumGamesByTeam: SELECT qryAllGames.team_id, Sum(qryAllGames.games) AS SumOfgames FROM qryAllGames GROUP BY qryAllGames.team_id;
Unfortunately, if the same team_id and games combination appears in both qryTeams1Games and qryTeams2Games, it doesn't bring 2 records into qryAllGames and the summed number of games is only half of what it should be.
Is this a case where a union query shouldn't be used? Is that how it is supposed to work?
A work around isn't a problem but this did have me stumped for a bit.
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I am trying to create a user form with sub form using the form wizard. I have only 2 tables, Employee (main table) and Vacation (subform table). I pick the fields from Employee Table then fields fro Vacation, but the wizard treat the Vacation as main form and Employee as sub form.
I have a fault form which the user enters details of a fault. When the fault form is submitted the data is saved in the relevant table and the form is cleared so that the user can enter the next fault. On the fault form i have a subform which displays the faults previously entered by the user. I want the user to be able to click on an entry in the subform and open the orignal fault form and see the data that had been entered. How can i create this functionality??
how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.
I have a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?
I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant Restaurant name Address line 1 Address line 2 Restaurant # Website
Table:StaffContact Staff Role Name speciality email phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.
I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).
I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName] Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex) End With EndSub
I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).
Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.
When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus. End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.
