Problem W/form In Database...
Aug 19, 2005
My form enters the data into my table just fine. when i view the data in the TABLE, I can see all records and use the record selector at the bottom of the window, just fine...it shows 1 of 9 or howver many records. here's my problem. I want to enter as well as view my records via the FORM and when I open the form, it let's me enter stuff but it only update the record selector according the current session.
Example: I open my form, enter 4 records. The record selector shows 4 of 4. I then close my form. When I open it again, the 4 records are in the TABLE, but the FORM (blank and ready for my new entries) shows 1 of 1 again. The entries (records) go in but the record selector never reads (counts) anything entered in the previous session, even though the records ARE THERE in the TABLE (as they should be). HELP!! What control have I mixed up?

Is there a way to open a form from a form in a different database? I'm pretty sure it needs to be done in VBA and have seen some code floating around that suggests it can be done, but I'm thinking there's more to it, like maybe one or both of the DB's need to be in a different format?

I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)

Hi guys hopefully you can help me out.
I was presented with a challenge to create a form that users will fill out online. There are a handful of questions mostly with check box answers, and a couple of areas to type your name and the date.
NOTE: this form is currently only on paper...
Now how do I go about making this form into an "online" version?
Basically I need users to be able to fill out this form online and then have the results collected. And possibly have the admin be able to generate a report of the forms that have been submitted.

I've got a form that has drop down menus to select info from a particular table for search criteria in Access 2003. If I select a certain set of data I get results in from query. If I happen to leave one of the drop down menus blank than I get no results, when I know there are results availabe. What type of language do I need to put in the criteria part of the query to allow a blank search of one or more of my drop down menus? Say I have 10 drop down menu criteria, and I want to use only 3 of them as criteria for a particular search, so I select the appropriate items and leave the rest blank. But using the same form, be able to do a different search using any combination of the drop down menus with a specific response or blank to search every respoonse in that field.
That way I can have one form to do multiple types of queries depending on the information you select in the drop down menus. And if the menu is blank, the query assumes any entry in that column is open to results.
Any ideas? I am a newbie to Access, so I'm probably just missing something simple, or I'm trying to do something far more technical then I ever thought it would be.

Is it possible to open a database from a form in a different database? Not necessary to do so; it would just be handy to do from the form I already have up and looking at rather than having to go open another instance of access and go to that database.

I know this is pretty basic, but it is annoying me. Whenever I bring up a certain form in my database, it seems to call up the database form. How can I get rid of this.

Im creating a form to add data to a database and my issue is that when I hit the save record button it overwrites the first line in the database and I can't figure out why it would be doing this. Any ideas?

Hey folks!
A favor to ask: Pat Hartman posted an example db shortly before this site was attacked that dealt with setting up a form in a non-normal fashion to enter/display data that was in normalized tables. Did anyone download and keep a copy?
I downloaded it and was going to study it to try to build something similar for a lab application, but I lost my copy and can't get it back. A search here did not pull the post up, so I'm assuming the attack got the post, which was in the example DB section.
If anyone still has a copy, or if you see this Pat, would you mind posting the file again? I'd really like to study this one.
Thank you in advance.

I am sure this has come up a thousand times and I searched but could find nothing about this. I have a database with one main form and many queries. When the database is opened by users I would like for only the form to show. I do have queries in a dropdown list on the form to run. Basically, I only want the form to show when the database is open but I want to be able to get to the menu's etc when I need to.
Please help.

Im not that expert in access programming, still have some more learning to do. anyway, my goal is to make a simple login form with a database of its users. How do I code it. The structure of my form is it has 2 unbound txtbox and 1 command button. A user will input its username and password then when the command button is clicked it will validate the user table if the data encoded is in the database. Thanks hope u can help me.

I've posted this in the 'General' forum, but without success, so I'm trying here.
I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once I get something working in the latter, I manually import it into the former (File - Get External data - Import). This has been working fine for just over two months.
Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:
"The search key was not found in any Record"
"No current record"
I'm unable to import the form. I also get the same error messages if i try to copy and paste the form within its own database.
The form in question has a lot of lengthy code behind various combo boxes, text boxes, etc. When I attempt to look at this code (via right-clicking on a field and going to Properties and the Event tab), none of it is present any more.
What's going on? This form took weeks to get working and now it can't be copied, renamed or imported, plus it appears to have been 'wiped' of everything but the visual features.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Can one form become 'corrupt'? If so, please say that there's some way to remedy it?

HI all.....
I am in need of some serious help and fast!
I'm using Access 2003:
what I need to do is to be able to use a form, which I created already with a sample, 6 fields, table and let the user input the data in the form fields but each time that the user has finished inputting the data, creating a new table with a different name, specified by the user, with the same fields used in the original one!
In more clear terms: replicate the original table every time the user has finished inputting the data, but use a different name that he will choose.
Thank you!!
PS: Be warned that unfortunately it is my first time using access for something so complex (for me).
E.

I'm trying to export a form to another database. I've tried both simply copy/paste and using the export function. In both cases the form is copied to the other database, but my buttons go missing. Is there a way to move the form to another database and keep it intact?

I am creating a database in Access 2010. It is a web database and will be uploaded/used on our Sharepoint site.
I have created a search form, called ContactSearch. It has multiple fields, but the first field, for an example, is FirstName. It then searches the query called ContactSearchQ to display the record.
In the criteria field for the query I have:
Like "*" & [Forms]![ContactSearch]![FirstName] & "*"
It works fine...except when it comes to using it on the web database. I am sure there is a solution for creating a search form on a web database, but I have not found it yet.

I have tables, forms, and (will be) many data. But many data means that the file will be heavy (e.g. need a longer time to open it) and since it's located in server, meant that it'll also burden the servers when someone is accessing it. So, the idea is to make an access file consisted only of forms (and maybe tables), and another access file as the data-bank. And everytime the form is filled, it'll save the new data to the data-bank. So, it will be easier for the end-users to acess the form (e.g. saving time when opening the file).
My question is:
1) Is it really lessening the burden on server?
Because I think that even if the end-user only accessing the form, the form itself will be accessing the bank-data, and I do not see how it'll lessen all the process.
2) How to save to another database?
I used this command on VB:
Code:
Set db = CurrentDb
Can it be used to save the form's data to another access database? How?
