I have noticed that when i am editing an object within my database, specifically a query and click to close it, it doesn't prompt me to save the changes and does it automatically. There have been cases where i do not want to save the changes and just wanted to know if there was a simple setting to turn off automatic saves?
View RepliesI was editing one of my tables in datasheet view and when I closed the table, Access asked me if I wanted to save changes. But I didn't make any changes to the design of the table or the filters I had set up. I just edited the data within datasheet view. The reason this is bothering me is that I am afraid I accidentally changed something. The only explanation I have for why it asked me if I wanted to save changes, is that I used the "undo" command to cancel a typo that I made while editing in datasheet view. When I hit "undo", it fixed the typo, and scaled back up to the first record of the datasheet. At first I thought using the "undo" command might have been the culprit, but when I re-opened the table and used the "undo" command again, it undid the change, but it didn't scale back up to the first record of the datasheet, like it did the first time I used the command. Anyway, I am staying away from the undo command from now on. It's about worthless in Access anyway, because it only undoes your last action. Have any other Access users been asked to save changes when they know they haven't made any changes to the design of the table?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.
I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?

Thanks
Is it possible to put a combo box with a drop down list in the Enter Parameter Values of an update query so that the user selects from the list instead of typing the required value?

:confused: I have to build a query to do the following
my table consists of 7 fields
cg
price
gross
open
IM
state
sdate
I want to build a query that will prompt the user for 3 of those fields:
price , gross , IM
BUT:confused: when prompted I want the user to have the capability of changing the operators ie: > , < , = etc.
one time they may want
price > 100000.00 , Gross = 50000.00 , IM < 8
the next time they run it they may want:
price < 50000.00 Gross > 45000.00 IM = 4.5
Is this possible
Normally I would run a query like using 'CurrentDb.Execute' so that no user prompt occurs, but how do I avoid prompts when I need to run an update query?.
I'm using DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_UpdatePW" with no joy!
Have a master table with say
Product no Product description qty
Then I have another archive table with
Product no 1_qty Q2_qty Q3_qty O4_qty
All I want to do is to (at the end of each quarter) archive (transfer) the qty from the master
table to the archive table at a user level.
Meaning I need a control button which does the lot and I suppose prompts and asks which
quarter do I want to archive to. I know how to manually do all that, but is it possible to have
a prompt which determines what field is used i.e Enter 1 then the field Q1_qty is udated.
Hope I have explained this ok.
Appreciate some help.
Thanks Norm
hey guys
I have a query that ask for an input. I was wondering if there is any way to make the prompt have a combo list, so the users can scroll and select the input ,which will generate the Query results,instead of having to type the input in.
will really appreciate your help.
I am using windows XP SP2, Office 2003.
I have created a database to store information from a mine site. I have set up a switch board and most users will just view reports or graphs that have already been designed.
I want the general users to open the file read only without having to open access and use the open read only command. I also don't want to go down the path of database security if it can be helped.
I read in the help page that there is a read only prompt that can be flashed up when the file is opened. Unfortunatly the help page suggests, Tools > Options > Security Tab (tick read only prompt). In office 2003 this option no longer exists (if it ever did)
Any ideas, would be good if i could add something to the shortcut and then have some uses use this shortcut.
Thankyou
I really need some help guys.
For some reason Access always asks for a login/password even if the database isn't protected. Even when I start a brand new database the prompt comes up. Any ideas as to how to get rid of this.:confused:
Hi All,
I am hoping to create form that will prompt the user to enter default values for certain fields ie Week No and WB Date before allowing any data to be input into the form.
Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary
Once at the beginning of each month I extract all new cases from last month into a table. The table has a generic name as I repeat this step monthly. I would like to save or archive the data each month without having to manually copy and paste the table and rename it, prior to the new extraction, so that I have a record of each month. The archived table will not be used in any queries or reports.
The table I want to copy and rename is named 'tblSampleFrame'
At the beginning of the month before I delete the contents of the 'tblSampleFrame' to pull the new data, I would like to copy the old table and include a date in the new name. How would I set up a button on a form to copy the file and prompt me for the new file name? The new name would be 'tblSampleFrame_mmyyyy' where I can specify which month and year.
I have a need to prompt a user for a date, When they enter that date the qry should do as follows.
if rec_date <= (DATE PROMPTED FOR) and rel_date is > (DATE PROMPTED FOR) ,
then
return Qty and a few other fields....
No the DATE PROMPTED FOR is not a field in the table.
Do I need it to be?
I have a query, and one of the fields has a prompt for user input. Is there a way for the prompt to take multiple values?
View 1 Replies View Related:confused: I would like to create a popup on my combo box to do the following:
When a serial number is entered and no records are found, it prompts "no matching record/s available" and no controls show data.
Currently, if I enter a serial and no data is found, the control options stay with the current data which doesn't match the serial. Users can't decipher if the search worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your expertise!
I have a combo box that is populated by a query. The problem is that the query pulls data from a different database than the rest of the form and it prompts the user for a password to access this database.
Is there any way of coding the password into the form so that the connection to the database is opened automatically without prompting the user?
Thanks.
i have a main form with a subform. the subform value has "ID" value with a relationship with the the main form. now if i delete a record from the main Form, the records in my subform will have no value to relate to.
i do have a Delete Button in my main form , so what i want is, when the Delete Button is pressed, Check if there is any records in my Subform, and not to allow me to delete unless i move these records from the Subform
here is my current Code for the Delete button ....
Does anyone know how complicated would it be too allow the user to key in the first couple letters of the last name in the combo box & have the combo box prompt names that begin with those letters?
I thought I did this before, but I can't figure out how.
I would appreciate any advice.
Hi guys!
When closing a form, I want my system to prompt: "Close without saving?". If yes, I want to continue the closing-proces, but when "no" is pressed, I want to just close the MsgBox-window and of course keep all the data-entries...
If MsgBox("Close without saving?", vbYesNo, "Close?") = vbNo Then XXXXXXX
What do I write instead of the X'es???

I have a database called Tables.mdb with a Make Table Query called Qmak_Tables that I want to run nightly.
I have set up a Scheduled Task to run Tables.mdb every night. I have created a Form that loads on start-up. I have created a Macro that runs the Make Table query when the form loads. I have also de-selected the confirm record changes/document deletions/action selections in Tools > Options > Edit/Find menu so the query won’t be stopped by a prompt that needs manual input. Here’s the catch:
After the query runs, it displays the prompt, “The existing table will be deleted. Do you want to continue?” How do I disable this prompt so my task can continue to run?
Query Date Field
Between [Enter Beginning Date] And [Enter End Date]
Run and enter 07/01/2014 and 06/30/2015
The return one record dated 07/01/2014
Run again enter 07/01/2014 and 12/31/2014
Return all records between those dates.
when I put in dates for 2014 to 2015 it does not return all records between those dates only the records for the beginning date, is there something I am missing asking for records from one year to another?
