I had a problem importing just one table I kept getting the message “Record is deleted” and no records were imported.
First I thought it may be because there were quite a few columns in the table so I tried importing just one column, however I got the same message “Record is deleted“ .
I considered it could be because the database was originally in a Company office workgroup. I wondered if the “Work group security” was causing the problem. I read up on this and found that importing the objects directly into a new database was one of the recommended ways of circumventing this problem. This was what I was already doing! So what was wrong?
Next idea, I exported all of the records into an excel spreadsheet. This was successful! So I then re-imported the records from the spreadsheet back into a table in the database.
There were a couple of problems, in that all of the text fields were converted to 255 character length. Although annoying I thought I could handle this problem. I proceeded making a few changes to this database, then I noticed that one of the fields that had been imported was originally a “Memo field” it had been converted to a text field with 255 characters. As soon as I noticed, I checked to see if any data had been lost by comparing this field with the original data. I found a significant loss of data so back to the drawing board!
All of the other tables had imported correctly, only this one seemed to be giving problems, I had tackled the size problem it was not a big table by MS Access standards, but I felt it could be the size, In particular the number of fields could be causing this error. But just trying to import one field at a time hadn’t worked?
Then it dawned on me what if I tried to import one record at a time --- that worked! So I wrote the query with a between statement I tried 10, then a 100, then a thousand records it worked fine! However when I tried 5000 records the error re-occurred?
I realized that I probably had some corrupt data in the table, so I set about systematically extracting a limited number of records until I found the area where the corruption was.
This worked but returned “0” records --- Between 11001 And 12000
“Between 12001 And 13000” Got error message “Record is deleted”
I got to 12800 all ok
12900 caused error
Error is in a record between 12800 and 12900
I will continue to whittle it down!
OK to 12819
The corrupt record is: 12820
I had found the corrupt record! Now all I had to do was create two queries one each side of this corrupt record to extract the information.
On inspection of this corrupt record I discovered that the memo field contained the following: “#Deleted “ I am going to attempt to modify the memo field and see if it fixes the corruption of the database.
My attempt at modifying the corrupt record, in particular the memo field containing “#Deleted” caused the error message to re-occur. “Record is deleted”
I have made a copy of the actual record 12820 and pasted it into a spreadsheet to send to the customer so that it can be checked in the existing data on their system.
Fortunately there were no related records in other tables affected.
We developed a simple database that operates across a network at work (max 15 intermittent users). We split it into a front and backend and made it a .accde file format of which through a desktop short cut we all access. We are recently getting the error message Record is Deleted.
This is my first post here and I imagine there will be many more as I have only just started out using Access to create a database at work and I am sure that I'm breaking many rules along the way.
Anyway, over the weekend, my boss tried to add some information (to the "Memo" field) in a form that I have created from a table, went to close the form and got a message saying something along the lines of "this record cannot be saved, if you close it, information will be deleted.
Now, in the Memo field, is the text "#Deleted" - when I try to overwrite this and come out of the record, it comes up with the message "record is deleted". If I put information in any other field in the record, there is no problem.
Also, in the table, if I try to sort by the Memo field, it comes up with same message, "record is deleted".
Does anyone know what I've done and how I can solve this?
Help!! I have a form with a drop down list that is pulling Query names from a table. When I select on of the Query names on the dropdown list it is running the appropriate Query. At least it did until today. Now when I select the Query name from the dropdown list I am gett a Run Time Error 3167 Record is Deleted.
Can anyone tell me what is happening? I have changed nothing in the code. The code is:
My problem started when upon running a macro that runs a report, the message "Record is Deleted" was returned and thus the report did not run. This is very strange because it worked ten minutes prior. Upon further research, I found that the table that is queried for this report could not be opened and upon attempting to open it the message "Record is Deleted" was returned again. I am, however, able to view all of the records in my table through a form. I cannot seem to find a reason for the table to work one place and not another. Any insight that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
I have a query in Access which I have always updated no problem until today. I tried to update the usual fields and it says "This recordset is not updatable". Does anyone know why this would have changed and how I can get it back to updatable?
I get an error message when I add a new record to my database. It occurs when I open my form and use the [arrowright*]-button and when I use the switchboard button to add a new record using a form.
An error message is displayed, but when I dismiss the error (click OK), then everything seems to be normal and the record is added normally with the entered info. It is a bit annoying, though.
Since I have the dutch version, I'll try to translate the message: "You can not add/append a value to this object
* The object possibly is a control-element in a read-only form * The object is part of a form that is opened in the design view * The value is too large for this field"
The error occurs right after I have typed the first character into a field on the form. The form consists of a few subforms. And I don't think any of the by access suggested errors have anything to do with this...
Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, MuFfiNimal
I am getting a "cannot change or add a record because a related record is required in table 'tblOrder'". I have scoured this site so forgive me if there is a post already on this.
My Order table has:
OrderID CustomerID SalesTaxRate
My Order detail table has: OrderDetailID PoNumber TransDate ProductID OrderID QuantitySold QuantityReceived QuantityOrdered TransType
I wasn't sure if by this you could point me in the right direction as to why it is saying this. I am very new to Access so bare with me. Thanks
I have set up a simple switchboard that gives the user a choice of 2 forms. The second from allows the user to navigate through a questionaire for a particualar individual. I have set up some buttons to advance thru the questions and answers. When I reach the end of the dataset, I get the error message "You can't go to the specified record." I also get this message when I am on the first question and try to page backwards. Is there a way to change this error message to something more meaningful to my users - like "End of questionaire" or "Beginning of questionaire"?
I try to delete a record and i get this error message "The search key was not found in any record". The key of the table is an autonumber but for some reason in these two records i want to delete has value = 0 .
I have created a command button through the wizard that is basically: DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Well, it puts all this code in the event:
Private Sub NewVerification_Click() On Error GoTo Err_NewVerification_Click DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec InboundQuestions!Page1.SetFocus VerificationNo.SetFocus Exit_NewVerification_Click: Exit Sub Err_NewVerification_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_NewVerification_Click
End Sub
Well, my PK field is one users enter in manually (please don't ask why). What I need is something that checks to see if the number in that field is a duplicate key, so I can tell users via msgbox "Duplicate Number, try again". Right now, it's not that descriptive, it says "You can't go to the specified record". I guess all i need is an If statment, but I don't know the code that checks to see if [field1]'s value has already been used in my table. Any ideas?
I need to be able to produce an error on a form where the user attempts to create a new user that already exists. The error needs to be produced when the save button is clicked.
See below for the existing code on my save button which exists in form, 'frmAddEditUser':
Private Sub cmdSave_Click() If IsNull(cboManagerID) = True Then MsgBox "Please select a manager", vbExclamation, "Details Missing!" Me.cboManagerID.Requery
[Code] ....
Currently, if I attempt to create a user with the same Payroll ID as an existing user, my 'User details saved' message box is displayed and to the user it looks like a new record has saved successfully which isn't the case.
I need a message box to appear displaying something like "Payroll ID n already exists" where n is the 'PayrollID' of the duplicate record. (Is it possible to combine a value from a certain control and ones own custom text?)
Note: PayrollID is a combination of letters and numbers, i.e. two letters, followed by 5 numbers, e.g. JD12345.
For reference, the table/field and and control are called, '[tblUser].[PayrollID]' and 'txtPayrollID' (on 'frmAddEditUser') respectively; it is from this field and control that I want the error to be produced if the user is entering the same values which are existing in 'tblUser'.
Hi I'm just doing an access form to link to a mysql daabase to update a websites products, using a odbc connection.
When i input a new record and go back to it i see only #Deleted in all fields i have to close the database and open again to see the data correctly. Is there a way to cure this problem?
I have 1 front-end MS Access 2000 for forms, queries, reports linked to tables from another back-end MS Access 2000, which stores only tables.
Just today, when I tried to open the table (has about 48,000 records), it keeps having the message "Record is deleted" or if I open the form that has that table is underlying source, another error "This action will reset the current code in break mode. Do you want to stop the running code? Yes/No" .
I even tried to import the tables to a blank database, it takes for more than an hour. It seem never works! Tried compact and repair the back-end Access, it stops about half-way about an hour. I can not open the form link to this table or even I created a new form for this table. NOTHING WORKS!! Still pop-up that same error messages!
one of the databases at my place has started acting really strange and was wondering if anyone knows what could possibly be wrong?
there's only one big tble holding about 7.5 k records with approx 10 fields
info that was entered yesterday has now been deleted (by access?) and when you scroll down or go down to the end records, all those records that were there yesterday now show either #error or #deleted and then an error popup appears saying "Not Valid Bookmark"
The UID doesn't appear to be working either, i.e it's not incrementing properly?
i am using access against an Oracle DB through an ODBC driver, and when appending records to a local table, if access gets an Oracle record error "#deleted", the append query aborts. . . that's fine, but I can't figure out how to trap the error to get the rest of the records. . .
This error message keeps popping up no matter what I do. "Database can't find the field 'QuotationNumber' referred to in your expression." I tried to define a text box by using a DLookUp function, however that did not work. I deleted the function, and now this error message keeps popping up. I have searched everywhere for an expression with 'QuotationNumber' in it, and I cannot find it. What do I do?
I'm getting an import error that records are being 3 records being deleted and one lost due to violations. However when I go back to check the data that was imported I can't find anything missing. Any clues on what could cause the error but still import the data.
I have a table with a blank record at the begining and populated records thereafter. I used the cmd button wizard to create a delete button for that table. Is there a way to prevent the blank record (record 1) from being deleted by the command button but still allow all other records to be deleted?
Hello, I've got a table that looks something like this: deviceID | name | ... 1 | a 2 | b 3 | c 4 | d 6 | e
where deviceID is an autonumber. Clearly device 5 got deleted, but if I go to "add record" I end up adding record 7. There are still other records in the db which need to link to device5, and I have all the info needed to recreate them, how do I override the autonumber and create a record with a specific deviceID?
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.
