i'm creating a database which has several switchboards. i have several tables, each saved in the same format with the table name representing the date of the report, for example table 1 is saved as 100204(Oct 2, 2004), and table 2 is 100904, so on and so forth. I have a text box which a user needs to enter the date of the report they want to look at and i need to be able to open the desired table by date entered. I've had a couple of vb classes but haven't used it in a while. can anyone help? thx in advance.
Is there i way so that when you open up your database you can get your Switchboard to open up??? is there a simple box to click to make it do this that i am missing or is it some VB code?
Ok, quick question. I am using a switchboard to open my main form, 'frmJobLog'. This main form has a tab control with four tabs. How do open the form to the 4th tab using a command button on the switchboard?
Just curious. I'm trying to set up a switchboard to guide users to the right place in my database. I would like to have one button on the switchboard to open a standard form with all the infomation in it already. and then I would like to have a button to open a form that is blank and then adds to the previous form I mentioned.
I would like to have the Switchboard I created open when the database is selected. I used Tools/Startup to set this up. It works to a point. The database window opens and THEN the Switchboard opens (on top of the database window). There are some who I wish not to see the database navigation window). Also, is it possible to OPEN the switchboard again when a Form is closed?
I get the feeling I'm really missing something glaringly obvious here but I'm struggling.....
I have a combo box on my switchboard that looks up field txtOfficer in a query and then want it to open up a new form containing only those records relating to the officer name selectedtxtOfficer
The rowsource for the combo is:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [qryMain].[txtName] FROM [qryMain];
When I select a name from the combo I get a parameter box and have to type in the name to open up the filtered records form. How can I get rid of it so the selection is one seamless process? :confused:
I've done a search of the forums, the results of which have more-or-less caused me to understand (roughly) what the problem might be and how to locate the code which is causing it. Sadly, I am a bit of a Visual Basic virgin, and I am reluctant to wade right in because if I screw up this database I'll have decimated my company's advertising and marketing strategy (mailouts!).
I was trying to make a command button on a switchboard (which I have done before, but not recently) -- and was taking a bit of a trial-and-error approach. I wanted the button to result in the previewing of a set of mailing labels (which the user would susbsequently print after reviewing). One of my first attempts resulted in the button automatically printing, so I "cut" it, and several close-but-no-cigar attempts follwed, all of which I used the "cut" command to dispose of. The last attempt I made resulted in the following message: "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Ambiguous name detected: Bulletin_Board_labels_Click. -The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure]. -There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro."
I "cut" the button I had just created and thought that might fix it. It didn't. I still got the above message whenever I tried to open either this switchboard or the main switchboard. I tried closing down Access and restarting it. Same message, same problem.
Below is the code from the switchboard in question -- the last few entries are the relevant ones: anything to do with "bulletin board" is stuff I was working on. As far as I can tell there are currently no duplicate queries, reports, macros, etc, named "Bulletin Board Labels" (theres is one query named "Bulletin Board Query", and one report named "Bulletin Board Mailout labels", and that's it.)
The code for the switchboard follows...
Please help me resolve this problem?

I was wondering if it was possible to do this, currently if I need to add a new record, I have to add it all in the tables section, this works fine but would be easier if it could be done through the switchoard somehow.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
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.
Hi.I'm new to Access. I'd like to know how can I choose which table/form will open when I open the MS Access file from my desktop? And can I change it in the future? I have Office 2007.Regards,Kirret
Hi, I have a form called Edit Column, which contains two text boxes: ID and Description. The user types something in these two boxes and presses a button, and this button should take the value of ID and edit description for that particular ID in the table "Map". Here is the code I have written for it:
Dim d As Database Set d = CurrentDb Dim r As Recordset Set r = d.OpenRecordset("Map")
r.MoveFirst If r! = Me.Text1 Then [I]('Text1 is the text box where the user enters an ID) Do While Not r.EOF r.Edit r![Description] = Me.Text3 r.Update r.MoveNext Loop MsgBox "Successful", vbInformation Else MsgBox "This column does not exist in the Store", vbCritical End If
Is there any way that anyone knows to have a table open on startup? I am not using a form, because the nature of this database is easier to use with a table. And I can't use Excel because I need reports out of the data.
Having said that, I have some users who may be partially Access-illiterate, and it would be easier to have them work on a table that opened for them. Any clues?
I have created a combo box with the values I need from a table. Once I select the correct record from the drop down box I'd like to be able to open the table with just that one record being displayed. Thanks for your help.
the wizard does not have a button to open tables...i have been using this code to open forms...what needs to be changed in order to make it open tables?

I want to be able to open a Table as Read Only, so that a user can browse etc., but neither alter nor enter data - I want them to use the Forms for that. How then, using VBA code, do you open a Table as Read Only?
i have a form that uses a text box to search through my bookings, and when the user double clicks on the record in the listbox it loads that record in my main booking form..
this works fine. the problem is this..
i will search and find a record using the text filter.. i will double click on the record and it loads in the booking form.
i then close the booking form, and the search form is still open in the background..
if i then click on another record in the search form, i get this message..
runtime error 3008, the table bookings is already opened exclusively by another user... etc
below is the code in my search form, is there anyway it can be edited to make sure this doesnt happen.

I have a form that is connected to a table - when I open the form it loads the first record in the table. How can I make it open a blank form, ready to add a new record?
Some of the things that bring me screeching halt really surprise me. I swear, this sounds like it should be so easy....
What I need to do is check, when the user clicks on a button, whether a specific table that is going to be modified/deleted later in the click code is already open. If it is open, I will msgbox the user to close the table first and exit the sub.
