When i create a table from scratch there is always a record and also when i run a query on the table there is always an empty record at the last line. Is there anyway to i cant get rid of it or hide it. it can be confusing and the user might add line that not suppose to be there.
thanks in advance
I have added a delete button to my form but now I cannot save the form.
I get the error message:
"In order to save your changes you must remove any layouts that have empty cells in them and/or set the has module property for the form to no."
How do I locate empty cells.
i removed the DIsTINCT in my query to move some field to be updateable on the form. Once I did that my detail section of my form was empty ..why and how do I fix this problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
Records:
Date | Temp
2014 | 20.5
2013 | 18.5
2012 | 19.0
2011 | 22.7
2010 | 15.2
So when I enter the record for 2015 I have a box that says: Temp and next to that box is "Last year was 20.5" or something like that.
I am trying to create a form in Access 2003, to view / create entries into a table - but the "new record" button appears to be greyed out when the table is completely empty. When I create an identical form that queries an identical table (except that it has several records already setup) I can add new records as much as I like. Is this normal? Any way of getting round this?
The problem is that I'm trying to add records to a table that is regularly polled by a DTS. Every 15 mins, this reads then deletes any entries - hence the table is generally empty. Apologies if this is a basic question, I'm very new to Access :)
I have a query that updates 1 field in tableA which is the sum of values from 3 other related tables. However, when 1 of the 3 tables has a record count of 0 then the query does not work??? How can I update tableA excluding tables with record count <1 ?
Thanks.
Not sure when this happened, but when I open my form, it opens to a empty record (all fields and subforms, etc. are there). There is no Record ID and when I attempt to delete it, I get a message "The search key was not found in any record."
When I use the record selector to advance, it goes to the first alphabetized name record. The find and search works fine, I can add or delete other records, perform filters, etc.
Everythings seems normal, all records, tables, forms, reports, are fine.
Any thoughts? Weird, eh?
Hello,
I have a "problem" in my database.
I have a form, as you can see in the attachment.
On that form I can choose different installations to which a spare part belongs to, but in that same list of installations it always shows a name of the first installation in the dropdown list. (a default record)
This can cause some confussion, because you see the name in the list, although it doesn't belong there.
How can I fix this?
PS : If I'm not clear about my problem, pls say so, my English is not may native language.
In a continuous form, I know you can groupby in descending order. If you do this on a date field, then the newest record appears at the top. How do I make the blank record for entering new records appear at the top of the form instead of the bottom. Thank you.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently creating a database using MS Access and I am having trouble linking the forms in the way I require. I have created the two forms and have linked them successfully. The first form is a menu which then accesses the second form which will be used to store records. The problem that I have is that each time I access the second form it always goes to the first record which has already been used. This means people have to scroll through until they find the next blank record. How do I create the link so that it always goes to an unused record:confused: .
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am currently working on a database and I'm using a form to view the records. A standard Access behavior is to show an empty record (new record) as the last one. is there a way to disable this "feature". I would like my form to display only the records, which are really filled with data and not show the blank one at the end??
Thanx in advance

I have a report that has the addresses from the client and auditor on the same level. The address of the auditor is on the left side and the client on the right side. They have both the same layout:
Auditor - client
Attn auditor - attn client
etc.
When the Attn for the auditor is empty, it will show and empty space between auditor name and auditor address.
All the fields have the can shrink to yes, but if they are on the same level in the report, the one have text in it, forces the empty space.
Is there a workaround for this?
I have a main form with two unbound text boxes that filter a subform with a select query in the record source. The problem is that it only works sometimes.when I copy and paste the SQL into a query instead of the form it works all the time. for example when I open the query and the form side by side with the same SQL the form does not show results but the Query does, and yes I have "requeried" both of them after entering criteria into the unbound text boxes.
Here is the SQL:
SELECT [Quote_ID] & "-" & [Version] AS QuoteIDv, tblQuoteID.Quote_Type,
tblQuoteID.Quoted_By, tblQuoteID.Agency, DLookUp("[Contact]",
"tblContacts","[QuoteID] = '" & [Quote_ID] & "' And [Version] = '" & [Version] & "'") AS contact,
tblQuoteID.Quote_Date, tblQuoteID.FileName, tblQuoteID.FileLocation, tblQuoteID.Amount,
tblQuoteID.Active, tblQuoteID.Quote_ID, tblQuoteID.Version, tblQuoteID.Selected
[Code] .....
Is anybody can help me to solve problem with inserting empty record between two records in unordered (non-indexed) table - like in Excel work sheet.

I have a form in my db and i would like it to show me a warning message if a specific field in a record is empty or even better not to allow me to close the form. I would like to have this in order to avoid incomplete data.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am needing to compare some information in a way I cant with the normal Unmatched Query.
I have 2 tables with the fields:
| PHONE1 | PHONE2 | FIRST | LAST |
What I need to do is have Table 2 check against Table 1 to see if any of the 'PHONE1' records match 'PHONE1' or 'PHONE2,' and if they do have them remove just the information from PHONE1, not the entire record.
Then I would have to repeat the process to do this with PHONE2. Having it check against 'PHONE1' and 'PHONE2' in Table1.
If both PHONE1 and PHONE2 have a match, the entire record would be deleted. If not, it would keep whichever did not match.
I am currently having to do this manually, because if I just run an Unmatched Query it gets rid of the whole record regardless of if PHONE2 is a good number or not.
If any more information is needed, let me know. Like I said, Im relatively new to working in Access and dont know much.
All of the fields are 'TEXT' type.
Access 2003 on Windows XP.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have just created a query so that I may base my report on it. The query ties together 4 tables. I only included the fields that will be in my report. I created the report using the wizard and used my new query as the source but it does not want to work. I tried opening the query and it was empty even though I have entries in the database.
ANY IDEAS :confused:
Dear All,
I'm trying something quite simple, adding dates into a table with the aid of an action SQL statement (INsert Into) in VBA.
However, if a date is empty, the value 12:00:00 AM is filled in! I really want that if it a date is set to empty, that noting is added to the table... I can use an if statement though, to fix it, but why does it fill in 12:00:00 AM if a date is empty?? Can you fix it? Or is there no other way?
I use Access 2003.
tnx,
Zurvy :eek:

I am trying to make a query with two tables. Each row consist of a student ID, their name and all their personal information. Both tables are exactly the same. But one table is a link table. That link table gets update every so often from an outside program and the other table is not linked. I want to be able to run a query that updates certain fields called "address changes". I have figured out how to find the updates, but I am having a problem with a field that is blank. If I have a field in the non-linked table that is empty but there is information in the linked table, it does not see it. Is there a way to get around this empty field problem?
