This is a lot more complicated than the title suggests. I was asked to reset the work order numbers used by the maintenance department. When they reach work order #9999 they want to start over. My best bet is to make a backup of the tables and create new ones that include the last 2-3 weeks of activity. If I do that I'll have two potential problems:
The next autonumber needs to be lower than the pre-existing records but not start at 1
Recombining data from the old table (for whatever reason) will create false relations
Does anyone know a possible solution to these problems or is there a better method to refresh the database?
I got a database that has lots of subform which are all locked, I got a button that open the same subform in a pop up form with a macro that insert a new record. But when I close the subform after puting the information in the new record does not update on the main form untill you go away from the current record and come back again
Hi there. I have a form with two sub forms on it. The form loads with a reference number that I pass to a function that in turn requeries the first sub form. The function call is in the on load event of the main form. This part works fine. The second sub form uses a similar requery function to the first one. The only difference is that the query for the second sub form is based on a reference number from the selected record in the first sub form. If I put the function call for the second sub form in the on click of the first one all is well and the second sub form displays all records with a matching reference number.
The problem is that when the main form loads the first sub form will display the correct data but the second remains blank or displays the wrong data. I know this is happening because the first sub form has not loaded fully and so the second sub form cannot get the reference number. I just can’t find a way to make the second sub form display the correct data when the main form loads.
I have tried calling the requery function for the second sub form from most of the events on the main form and many of the events on the first sub form but to no avail. I also tried putting a meaningless sub form at the bottom of the main form and putting the requery function for the second sub form in the on load event but that was no good either. This surprised me as until that point I was assuming that access was loading the sub forms sequentially from top to bottom.
Can anyone tell me how I might determine the point at which the first sub form has been loaded so that I can get access to the reference numbers needed for the second sub form query. I would prefer not to use a timer for this as there is no way to determine the maximum time it will take access to load the rest of the data but at present it looks like the only option left.
Any comments would be much appreciated and sorry for the lengthy explanation.
I just added a ActiveX control to my program and I have a scroll mouse, and there when the user used the mouse to scroll through the records, the record changes but the ActiveX Control doesn't. My activeX Control is used for a digital signature. Anyone Have any ideas?
I have a 'Snapshot' report, which gives up-to-the-minute data on a business - sales year-to-date, month-todate, week-to-date and today. They run this many times a day, but ideally, they would like to have the information display on a monitor, and be updated automatically every few minutes. Is there any way that a query can run by itself every few minutes, and gather the current information?
Quick question, in Access 2007, i created a table that pulls data out of our system via ODBC. No if the system gets updated, how do i refresh data in access? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Hi all, I have a form (sub_Main) that opens and has an openargs value (Department) from my main form when user clicks on a cmd button. However, if I were to go back to my main form and click on another department the openargs value is not passed along. I have tried using Me.Refresh under LostFocus but it doesnt seem to work.
What is causing the openargs value from updating? Any help?
I have a field "NameView", irrelevant but it grabs a name from a seperate form from an ODBC connection. The purpose for the field is simply to grab the data from another form.
On the same form As NameView theres another field "Name" This Grabs the data from NameView and writes to the main table.
Everything works fine but "Name" will only update from "NameView" on a new record only and not on the current one. I have a VBA Statement on an afterupdate which Me.Name = Me.Nameview
I know this is probably something really simple - but I'm relatively new to VBA.
I'm trying to run an update query from a form, then refresh the form having all the input boxes and checkboxes etc set back to normal.
The problem being that I have a list box to select a record to update from.
Now, if I just refresh the form this list box updates properly - but none of the other controls (text boxes and check boxes) reset to their defaults.
If I try to reset them manually in the code then a) they don't reset and b) the list box no longer updates (depending on the location of the reset code).
Though the code I'm using to reset things works when the query is not executed.
The code I'm using is currently:
Private Sub Save_Record_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Save_Record_Click
Dim stDocName As String DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord stDocName = "Return to training" 'DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit Me.Refresh Current.Value = False Exit_Save_Record_Click: Exit Sub
I double click a combo box which takes me to a new form. e.g. a purchase order form does not have an employee so they need to be added. When the employee form is closed i would like to refresh to combo box so the new employee appears in the combo box.
I have no VB skills at all have to do everything with macros etc. So please keep any replies simple. I have a database for students, courses and tutors - all worked fine until the customer wanted each student to do 2 courses at a time. The whole database is designed for statistical returns ie females with child care responsibilities living in a rural area etc., and the Course Id has to be the same on each course table. I split the course table into 2 tables with the same data, made a course entry form which appends new courses to both tables. My problem is that when I select a course ie no 234 for course 1 and 345 for course 2 I cannot get the subform to show the data unless I go to the next/previous record and back again; when I do this the main form opens at record 1. Is there a macro or piece of code I can use to automatically refresh OR a macro that will go to next record and then reopen the mainform at the place where I started?
I'd like to ask for your help in the following issue:
I wanted to refresh the filtering of my combo-list on a subform according to the change of a field on the main form.
With this
Private Sub supplierID_AfterUpdate() Forms![invoices]![details1 Segédűrlap]![KombináltLista4].Requery End Sub
it succeeded. But when I turn a page on the main form (to see records registrated in the past), the combo-list on the subform doesn't change (because Access doesn't get any after-update info - I guess).
But I'd like to use a solution that always watches the actual value of the main form displayed on the screen and so it changes the filtered list of the sub-form - combo-list according to it.
Please help if you have a good idea/solution to it. (take care I'm beginner at Visual Basic)
I have search the forum for two days and can not find anything about this promble so any help would be good.
I am using a linked picture i have then browser setup and works ok but my issue is that i can not get the picture to refresh its self, with out going into design view and then back to my form, i would hope that there is a solution to this.
Any links would be good or general help would be great as i am starting to loss sleep over this now.
I have modal pop-up form1 showing list of items. There is a button that opens a new modal pop-up form2 (not subform) to add items to form1, form1 is still open behind form2. This all works fine, but when you click save button on form2 it saves new data to database and closes taking you back to form1 but does not refresh new data to form1 unless you (shift F9) or close form1 and reopen or use refresh button on form1. I would like to have form1 refresh data as soon as form2 is closed from the save button. I can do a timer event on form1, but this flashes the screen...which is annoying. I have tried various methods to make this work but just can't seem to get it to work. If form2 was a subform of form1 then refreshing mainform would not be an issue. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Hi all, How are you? I have a small problem... I have a form with 3 textboxes and 1 button. When filling these textboxes, and clicking the button, a record will be added to a table. I want when I click the button, the record to be added to the table with removing the the old record from the 3 textboxes for the new record to be added.
I have some dLookUp text boxes on a form. They don't refresh though till after I change the record I am on. There are only two fields on the form that actually change the dLookUp boxes and they are both combo boxes.
Is there some refresh code I can put in the combo boxes so that the form refreshes after someone changes data in the two combo boxes?
I encountered some weird symptons with my Access forms. I am using the form to display images(done by setting the OnCurrent and After Update property).
When my PC is just powered on, and i try to load say form "ENGLISH". Form "ENGLISH" will appear, but the focus will switch in between form ENGLISH and the MS ACCESS program window. This action will onli settle down after abt 10 secs.
When the ENGLISH form is loaded, i will attempt to switch from one record to another, but the same thing occurs again. IT will load/refresh for abt 10seconds, with the focus toggling btwn ENGLISH FORM n MS Access.. IN addition, it opens a second copy of FORM "ENGLISH" in the background as can be seen on my taskbar. When i close my 1st form ENGLISH and i attempt to close the 2nd FORM tat is appearing on the taskbar, there will be an error msg, English : MSACCESS.EXE-Application Error, Instruction at....(refer to the attached jpeg file for detailed error location)
Y is it tat this weird behaviour onli applies to the forms tat are used to display images but not those normal forms tat contains of purely text?
The entire behaviour will be eliminated after i close MS access, and reload the DB abt twice.....
Currently I have a button on my form that opens a second for to Add a New Temp Worker. This all works fine but when I close the form and go back to the entry form the subform hasn't been refreshed and so the new temp isn't in the list. I can't close the form that contains the subform as it will stuff up the data entry.
I had a table with an ID field defined as AutoNumber. It contained a large number of records. When I deleted those records, and added a new record, it was alloted an ID which was an increment of the last ID when the Table was full previously.
I want that the AutoNumber ID be ReNumbered from start if any record is deleted.
My main form that displays the records also has on it a listbox for easier navigation to records. What i would like is when i delete the records, they automatically become removed from the listbox.
Currently what happens is that i have to close the form and reopen it in order for the deleted records to be removed.
I would like a line or two of codes that i can add to my delete record buttont that updates my quicksearch listbox.
I have a form that has a status, and a button that changes that status when clicked. This should remove the record from the current form and put it in another.
Is there anyway I can refresh the form after that button is clicked to show the record actually dissapearing instead of having to close/reopen the form?
Hi all, not been here for a year or two, hence i have forgotton a lot of Access stuff.
I have an unbound Data Entry form which when populated, adds the record to the table. Simple enough.
I have some code on the form which basically stops the user entering a new record without having a First Name and a Last Name. This code works well.
I also have some code which confirms that the user wishes to add the record to the table. If Yes, the record is added to the table but when entering data for the next record, the first code doesn't kick in about having a First Name and last name, however the Confirm Add record code kicks in.
How can I solve this, I have tried the me.refresh command in various places but as yet to no avail. Hopefully someone will point me in the right direction.
I have added the DB in both A2k and Access 2003 Versions
I have a Listbox [ListRandom], that populates a random selection of employees. The listbox is set to "Multiple Select = Simple" What I have now is: I can select several employees and then click a [print] button, this prints an individual form with those employees information, and then adds them to a table [tblselected]. What I am trying to accomplish is After those employees are selected, printed, and added, I then want to go back to the random list to select the other employees, but I would like the first ones that were selected/highlighted to refresh and be gone, so that I dont accidently add the same employee twice.
Is this possible? And can someone point me in the right direction. thanks....Enviva
I have a form, that has some text fields and a couple calendars for the user to select the dates from.
What I would like to happen is, after the user enteres the data, and they hit submit. I want the form to go back to a new entry, but it's not quite doing this.
The data they type in dissapears after submit, but the calendars seem to hold whatever date they used. And when they try and enter another entry, they can't select the same date as before. They have to hit a different date first, before it allows them to re-enter the same day.
Anyone know why? Is there a way to make the form refresh, or reload after they hit submit? So it will allow them to enter something for the same day?
