I get the error message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you are trying to add. try inserting or pasting less data." I'm not attempting to run an insert or update query.
Access Help lives up to expectations by just repeating the error message, and the posts I can find on the forum which mention this error all seem to include something about a maximum of 254 characters in a field. None of mine are anywhere near that amount.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
The situation is that we have a split DB on a LAN using Windows Server. The BE is on the server and the FE are distributed to each user PC on the LAN. (For historical reasons there are differing versions of Access at each user which was the primary motivation to split the DB)
We also have a copy of the DB on the company website which is to be updated via FTP on a regular basis. This is used for queries only by visitors. We now want our clients to be able to update their information on line in tandem with our local users.
The question is - what is the best method to keep these DBs synchronised?
My thought is to use replication with the LAN BE as the master DB and the website having a replicated version. Then we can periodically download the website version and synchronise the two - presumably we would have to disable the updating function on the website while we do this and then reload the new replicated version up to the website.
A problem I see already is that the website DB is not split where the local version is - is it possible to rejoin a split database? Synchronise it, upload a a replica and then split the BE and FE again?
Thought I had sorted this, but now experiencing another problem. I am creating invoices from my db, invoices may have more than one line. So I have set up a form with client name, invoice number, invoice date on the main part of the form, then the invoice lines as a sub form. The two parts are not synchronising. I want the combo box to find the client for me. I suspect I have something that is really quite simple but fundamentally wrong with this combo box. And I may well have made a mess of it because I have fiddled with it so much. I am attaching the db so someone can take a look. My invoice form is frmInvoicehdr. Thanks in anticipation.
As a field engineer often I am away from base, currently I am using excel to record hours serial numbers and stock codes used on relevant jobs. This I understand is a flat table nuff said.
Can I create a form in access using the unique a job identifier (taken from the main database)that can be carried remotley from the main server (laptop) as a template which is then populated at the workplace and uploaded to the main server database when myself or my colleagues are in the head shed (main office)??
I am a moderatley new user to access so please be gentle. any and all help a big bonus..:o
I am building a contacts database - brief structure as below:
tblOrganisation - details pertaining to the company
tblContact - Primary key is ContactID (autonumber) and details about the contact
tblContactDetails - Primary Key is DetailsID (Autonumber), Foreign Key of ContactID and fields to store various sets of details.
What I want to do is each time a contact is added I want to create an entry in tblContactDetails with their ContactID as the foreign key. I have created a form based on tblOrganisation, with a subform in Datasheet view showing the contact info (Name etc) which gives the + symbol to access the contact details. Trouble is if there is not an already entry in tblContactDetails with the same ContactID then there is no way I can add details.
I'm pretty hopless with VB but I am trying very hard (hours spent on this forum reading code I only slightly get the gist of) to implement a form that takes input from two synchronised unbound combo boxes and then displays records matching the input in a sub-form in datasheet mode. I'm failing at the first part just now: the combo boxes. No doubt I'll fail at the second part too but I'll deal with that when I get this fixed. :)
I was using the northwind DB to learn how to synchronise the combo boxes. I successfully did it by following the instructions and using this code from MS kb article 209595 in the After Update procedure:
Me.Products.RowSource = "SELECT ProductName FROM" & _ " Products WHERE CategoryID = " & Me.Categories & _ " ORDER BY ProductName" Me.Products = Me.Products.ItemData(0)
I then tried to implement this on my database by changing the relevant information to reflect my database info. as shown below, and it does not work. I switched Product references for my Unit references and Category references for my Item references but I don't think I got it right or over-simplified it due to the table structure.
Private Sub Item_AfterUpdate() Me.Units.RowSource = "SELECT Unit FROM" & _ " Units WHERE ItemID = " & Me.Items & _ " ORDER BY Unit" Me.Units = Me.Units.ItemData(0) End Sub
When I compile the code it stops at Me.Items with the error "Method or data member not found". So I assume that I have not referenced the right objects when I modified the code. I thought this was maybe due to the two tables I'm using being in a many-to-many relationship via a junction table, as opposed to the northwind tables which are directly linked by a one-to-many relationship. If this is indeed the case, can anyone help me put this right. I have attached my table structure / relationships in a .jpg to this post.
Any help from all you smart developer dudes would be muchly appreciated.
Im new to asp and access and have been having this problem for serveral weeks.
Every couple of days, all the asp pages on my site that communicate with the database start having 500 internal errors. i turned off the "Show friendly error messages" and one page gave me this specific error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/admin/submitlogin.asp, line 8
I have tried a million things and have no idea why this is happening. Im not sure what other information i should post in order to see the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Private Sub NextApplication_Click() On Error GoTo Err_NextApplication_Click DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Exit_NextApplication_Click: Exit Sub
Err_NextApplication_Click: If Err.Number = 2105 Then MsgBox "Cannot navigate to the next record. This is the last record." Else MsgBox Err.Description End If
Resume Exit_NextApplication_Click
End Sub
but even when this error occurs nothing is being properly handled the way i specified - any ideas ?
Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following: 1) Shows all records 2) Requery 3) ApplyFilter. The Where Condition for the filter is: Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
Okay, I'm kind of stumped here.I have a subform that has a button that sends a user to a "sibling" subform on another tab page, pass some information to ensure they are adding more details to the same records rather than creating two separate record.First time I programmed it, I got an error 3022 (keys cannot have duplicate values). I checked the query of the sibling subform and saw that the ID is from the one side table. I changed it so many table's foreign key is used. Second try, I got an error 3341 (there isn't a matching key in one side table).After some thinking, it also occured to me that I had set the query this way to allow addition of new record which wouldn't be possible if I had the query pulling the many side key, not the one side key.How do I get the subform to accept the ID that is being passed and create a new record using that ID?:confused:
Private Sub Consolidate_Click() Dim temp As Variant Excel.Application.Visible = True temp = Dir(CurrentProject.Path & "Inputs") Do While temp <> vbNullString
[Code] ....
From the second iteration its not picking the error.
Is it enough for error handling to code the on error property for each form? With enough I mean error handling which lets you resume the program.
Ontherwise I have to code (or call a procedure) for each coded event which i wouldn't prefer
For instance now I'm putting error handling in each event but would consider it more efficient if it can be placed once in each form Private Sub cmdReport_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdReport_Click
Not sure how to work in the '* ROLL *' into this SQL statement. The query statement works fine ... I have tried different quotation methods ( Not Like " & " ' * ROLL * & ' " & " ) AND .... )
sql = "SELECT DISTINCTROW Sum(CDbl([Scrap Factor])) AS SumOFScrap FROM [RT: Signpro1: Costs] LEFT JOIN [DT: InventoryExtend] ON [RT: Signpro1: Costs].[Part Number] = [DT: InventoryExtend].[Part#] GROUP BY [DT: InventoryExtend].CategoryID, [DT: InventoryExtend].Description, [forms]![signpro sign estima parameters]![combo14] HAVING ((([DT: InventoryExtend].CategoryID)=30) AND (([DT: InventoryExtend].Description) Not Like '* ROLL *') AND (([forms]![signpro sign estima parameters]![combo14])=1));"
hi guys i was wondering if you can help me this is my code: i have a main form with this code, this form contains a subform linked by the All_PricingID
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblAll_Pricing") 'main table ' adding data to the table rst.AddNew ' Main table rst!All_PricingID = Me.txtPricingID 'Main table pk rst!MainContract_ID = Me.cmbMainContract 'combo box in parent form rst!ItemNumber = Me.txtItem 'Main form text rst.Update
'sub Table Set rst2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblPricing") 'sub table For varItem = 0 To Me.lstsubContracts.ListCount - 1 'this is a list in the main form '--- loop through all the items in the list box and create a new row in the subform for each subcontract in the listbox lstSubcontracts. rst2.AddNew rst2!ID = Me.All_PricingID 'sub table foreign key rst2!SubContractID = Me.lstsubContracts.Column(0, varItem) 'sub table rst2.Update Next varItem '--- close the tables rst.Close rst2.Close Set rst = Nothing Set rst2 = Nothing
the subform appears correctly with the rows i wanted added but i need the user to be able to edit a column in the subform for the rows just created (my form is on datasheet view). but everytime i move to cursor into the subform, i can't even scroll up and down.
i keep getting an error that says :
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. (Error 3022)
but when i check my tables tblAll_Pricing and tblPricing , everything is inserted correctly according to my recorset above, do you know why this is happening? and why i am not able to edit my subform. my subform allowsedits and additions.
hi, I am new to this forum and to MS Acess. i am not a software engineer or in the field of software. I had to learn as much as i could about MS Acess because of a project i worked on. I have a standalone MSacess database and one of the forms is giving me trouble when I try to enter a new record
The form is called frm_fragrances and has information about a fragrance. the frm_fragrances has 4 fields in it and a sub form. the sub form has details about the fragrance
In a new record when I enter the 4 fields and attemt to go to the subform which has details about this fragrance I face this error.
an unexpected error haas occurred @2465: application defined or object defined error.
additional information Active form:<frm_fragrances> Active control:<txt_VendorName> Previous control:<frm_fragrances>@Please call the developer for further instructions
I have looked in the FAQ and on this forum for help on error 2465 and cannot find anything to help me. I can work with forms to an extent but cannot write too much code.
I would really appreciate some help in this matter Thank you
I'm from Vietnam and my English is bad. In my database, I have only a table named tblEmployees, which contains these following fields: Employee_ID (data type: text), Name (text), Salary (number) and Allowance (number). I build a form bound to this table. In the footer of this form, I have a textbox control named txtSumSalary that contains the expression: =Sum([Salary]). Everythings is OK. But when I build an another textbox named txtSumAllowance that contains the expression: =Sum([Allowancess]) (I misspelled this field intentionally), the result are error #error in both textbox controls. I don't understand why the textbox txtSumAllowance wrong, the textbox txtSumSalary is wrong too. Help me!!! Thanks a lot!
Hi. The following message appears when an append query is run in one of my databases "Error No:6; Description: Overflow". I've never seen it before, can't find it in Help - nor anywhere else on the net. All assistance greatly appreciated!
I have the following code as error handling in a form that gives me Run-time Error 438 "Object doesnt support this property or method" with "Msgbox..." highlighted... Code:'Error Handling On Error GoTo cmd_icp_catcode_Click_Err'and later in the code' Exitcmd_icp_catcode_Click_Exit: Exit Sub' Error notificationcmd_icp_catcode_Click_Err: MsgBox "An unexpected error hass occurred." _ & vbCrLf & "Procedure: cmd_icp_save_Click" _ & vbCrLf & "Error Number: " & Err.Number _ & vbCrLf & "Error Descricption:" & Err.Descricption _ , vbCritical, "Error" Resume cmd_icp_catcode_Click_Exit I can provide any more info that you need... I am just surprised because i have used the same code on several forms before and this has never happened!
I have a database networked with about 8 users. We have been having a problem recently with a specific table. Occasionally, when a user opens a specific form based on this table the entire form is whitened out. When I open the database there is no major curruption, but then when I check the specific table I always find one record with "#Error" shown in every field. I cannot delete the record (invalid argument), so I compact & repair the database and the bad record changes all fields to "##########". Then I can delete the record and all is fine.
Any thoughts on what can cause this kind of error ?
I'm getting the following error when I try to switch to design view. Also I can't close the database: :( "You can't switch to a different view at this time. Code was executing when you tried to switch views. If you are debugging code, you must end the debugging operation before switching views."
Let's say we have a table in which one of the fields is Date. Now let's say we want to create a simple report from that table, but the user has to pick the date interval. So, the report will have to display records only from X date to Y date. We create then a form called Report with 2 fields for the user to input the X date and the Y date to create the interval. Then we make a query from that table, and on the criteria of Date, we put the following expression:
Between [Forms]![Report]![DateX] And [Forms]![Report]![DateY]
Well, that's what I've always done when I want to create a report based on a date interval input by the user and it always worked.
But now I've got a problem. Instead of making a query, I made a crosstab query from the table, to make the report easier to read. And again, on the date criteria I put the same expression, but it won't work on the crosstab query. I always get this error message:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognize '[Forms]![Report]![DateX]' as a valid field name or expression."
Why does this expression work on a regular query but not on a crosstab query?
Also, any ideas on how to create this report on the date interval provided by the user and using the crosstab query?
i just created a audit trail in my DB... however upon update and saving my changes... i get an error msg "13 - Type mismatch"... help pls... thankew in advance...
