Really Silly Access Question
Jun 6, 2007
I feel like a goober for even asking this, since I've been using Access for three years now for work-related databases, but this is actually the first time this has come up and I can't, for the life of me, figure it out.
I need to find out if there is a way to copy something (a year, for example) and paste that one thing onto multiple rows within one column of the datasheet (Year Attended, for example.)
I don't want to have to type in the year 1,296 times; I'd like to see if I can highlight the portions of that column I want (all of the people who attended in 2005) and paste "2005" into all of the highlighted cells at once. In Excel, for example, you can copy something, highlight an entire section, and it will paste into each cell.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have read as much as I can about using access and have decided it's time to have a play - so please forgive me if this is a silly question. Here goes.
I have a single table - it lists staff by name and staff number and shows 3 qualifications that they may or may not need (yes/no columns).
I have managed to produce queries/reports that show, for each of the 3 qualifications whcih personnel that require that qualification have not achieved it.
I now want to produce a query/report that lists any personnel that are outstanding any of their required qualifications and if so which qualification they are outstanding.
Any hints or tips would be very much appreciated.

Hi there,
I have been using Excel for many years and have just got to the stage where I need to build a database. I have managed to work out how to import the data ok but within the single table that I will be using I need to have a column which will add up the contents of four other columns.
EG.
Cells in Column T to be the total of cells in the same row from columns C, E, F and G.
Please would someone be kind enough to let me know if this can be done and if so how I can go about achieving this.
I am a newbie so please be gentle with me!!
Many thanks.
Paul

I'm probably doing something daft but can anyone suggest why this query is giving no results?
The Item_Type field in the TBL_All_Items is a drop down menu
The query Q_Printers is supposed to be giving the results of only those item types beginning PRN but its showing no results.

when i do both or less than one date nothing shows using the code below
SELECT Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_QTY_1) AS QTY1,
Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_VALUE) AS VALUE1,
DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]) AS [DAY]
FROM ITEMTBL INNER JOIN HTRXTBL ON ITEMTBL.ITEM_NUMBER = HTRXTBL.HTRX_ITEM_NUMBER
WHERE (((HTRXTBL.HTRX_REC_TYPE)="ITMSALE")
AND ((HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)>=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1]
And (HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)<=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATETO1]))
GROUP BY DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]);
when i do greater than the from date it this code below works
SELECT Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_QTY_1) AS QTY,
Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_VALUE) AS [VALUE],
DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]) AS [DAY]
FROM ITEMTBL
INNER JOIN HTRXTBL ON ITEMTBL.ITEM_NUMBER = HTRXTBL.HTRX_ITEM_NUMBER
WHERE (((HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)>=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1])
AND ((HTRXTBL.HTRX_REC_TYPE)="ITMSALE"))

Hey all,
I have this code on a number of difference forms:
[Forms]![Care Packs].Customer.SetFocus
This is executed by an event in another form that loads the new form and starts dumping in values. For some reason I'm suddenly getting "Object doesn't support this property or method. 'Object' is simply a textbox that is enabled, but is also locked altho to my knowledge this isn't a problem. It's late and I've been working for hours so this may be something simple I've overlooked...need to step away for a while.
Any thoughts?

I have the following fields in a query: "Employee_number", "shiftname", and "shiftdate"
And I have the following code on the criteria of "shiftdate": >= dateadd("d",-7,Date()) so that only records from the past 7 days are displayed which is fine, however when I run the query it displays the following
Employee_numbershiftnameshiftdate
1A16/09/2005
2A16/09/2005
3B15/09/2005
4B15/09/2005
which is not quite what i want.....Is it possible to make it only show the same shiftname with the same shiftdate just the once instead of showing it several times for each employee?

Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
Thanks in advance.

I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.

I have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..
Check the following attachment for sample.

I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri
Masonry NSW');'

Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.

I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.

I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.
Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.
I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?
and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?

I have an Access DB that I created in Access XP. It works perfectly when used in Access XP. When used in an Access 2003 environment some of the functions don't work anymore. I have users who use Office XP and users who use Office 2003. Does anybody know how to make this DB work in Access 2003 without having to do wholesale code changes?
I have already changed the security to "Low" to bypass the security feature built in in Jet 4.0 but it didn't help. I might have to uninstall Windows XP SP2 to make it work because I know that the application works in an Office 2003 environment with Windows XP SP1 only. But I'm trying to avoid having to uninstall XP SP2 because it's a pain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
My workstation environment is as follows:
OS: Windows XP SP2
Office: Office 2003 SP1
Jet: 4.0

Hi,
I've created a database in access 2003 with the default file format being Access 2000. Everything works fine on my computer and many others, all of whom are running different versions of access (2000, 2002 & 2003).
I have not had any problems with this database until recently and in the last few weeks we have had 2 users, both of them being Access 2000 users who have had the same problem.
The problem they are having is that when they click on any of the switchboard items, the buttons depress an then come back up again when the cursor is moved away, but nothing else happens - no action, no error message - nothing!!! Its the same for all of the buttons on the switchboard.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have another computer with Access 2000 on it and this works fine, as it does on several other computers runiing Access 2000, I just cannot understand why it is not working on these 2 particular machine.......
Many thanks in anticpation.
Steve
