Right Click To Insert Object??
Mar 3, 2006
I have a database that I completely redeveloped from scratch. On one form I have 4 OLE Objects so that people can attach links to files. In the old database, you just had to right-click and the insert object box came up...but that isn't working in the new one. I can't remember if it was something that I set or if there is something different about Access 2003 that doesn't allow that. I can't find anything on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Quick overview so you understand: I have two databases, one which contains form(s) that allow users to enter in legal type cases. It has a subform in which has four fields to insert OLE objects. This form draws its data from a linked table in a database called Attachments. Not all cases have 'attachments' & the attachments are associated to cases by case number.
Anyway, my delima is - I am trying to make a less 'clunky' way for the end-user to insert objects to the cases. Currently, they can click on a button that will open the Insert Object box. It isn't that complex for a developer to use, but the regular end user, it is quite complex. Also, once an object has been inserted, it renames it. (FYI: These objects are being imported & not linked) When inserting the object, you can decide you want it to be an icon shown in the OLE field & thus you can name it there. But the problem is, if you double-click to open the document it gives it a new name that is associated with the form name. It does not retain the original file name. Does anyone know of a way for it to retain the original file name??
That is my 'biggest' problem here since these files maybe updated & even emailed - Being that they are legal documents, it would be good that they retain the name. I have just begun to use OLE objects fields so I am very, very new to this.

I have Ms Access table with OLE Object column. So I am using form to handle this table. I want to store word documents in this column. Now, to add new item I should right click on OLE field, then choose "Insert object", then choose Microsoft Word Document.
How can I to automate this process? How can I automatically insert empty word document on adding new item?

Hello,
I have a access table with a OLE Object field that is storing a small signature .bmp image. I have a form that loads that image into a bound object frame. I made a command button that lets you choose a new .bmp image and it then loads the new image into the bound object frame. I am them doing update query on a save button that then save the new image into the table. The form works great. You can pick any .bmp and it shows up good in the bound object frame. When I click the save button and it runs the update query it run it 8 of 10 times fine. Problem is when it does run it the images gets inserted into the table and its destorted. Like its all static or have of the image turns black. Sometime when I run the same update query with out any code changes I get a access error that shuts down access or it inserts the image into the table and when you click on the cell to view it, it says the OLE data is not valid.
So Im not sure if the method Im using is ok or if there is a better way. I do need to store these images in the table tho. Below is the code im using.
code that loads new image picked into bound object frame
Code: Dim MyFolder As String Dim MyExt As String Dim MyPath As String Dim MyFile As String Dim strCriteria As String MyPath = vrtSelectedItem'vrtSelectedItem is the path to the image from the file picker Me.OLE_Sig.Enabled = True Me.OLE_Sig.Locked = False OLEPath = MyPath Me.OLE_Sig.OLETypeAllowed = acOLEEmbedded Me.OLE_Sig.SourceDoc = OLEPath Me.OLE_Sig.Action = acOLECreateEmbed Me.button_load_sig.SetFocus Me.OLE_Sig.Enabled = False Me.OLE_Sig.Locked = True
Then I run this for the save command
Code:DoCmd.SetWarnings FalseDoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_user_edit_update"DoCmd.SetWarnings True
This is the query to save the image.
Code:UPDATE tbl_Users SET tbl_Users.Signer_Sig = [forms]![frm_admin_users_edit]![OLE_Sig]WHERE (((tbl_Users.User_ID)=[forms]![frm_admin_users_edit]![field_userid_info]));
Any help would be great.... Been trying everything and no luck.

Hello
I am using Access 2003(11.6355.6360) SPI
When I attempt to create a new DB - by performing Blank Database I immediately get a message 'Object Library not registered'.
If I 'OK' that box and try to create a table, I can do so - create Table in design view.
When I then try to Import external data - an excel file I get the message 'ActiveX component Can't create object'.
I have looked ob various sites for help and forum information regarding these errors but have found nothing conclusive, with specidfic regard to Access 2003.
The version has been loaded on my machine about 1 year as part pf Office Professional but this is the first time I have attempted to run Access itself.
Does any forum member have any ideas as to how this problem could be resolved.
Thank You
Rgds

I am currently building a database for the company I work for that is fairly similar to the Northwind Database; however it is made from scratch so hopefully some of the common problems with that database won't find their way into mine.My problem is that when I go to my Orders form, I pick a customer from the main form, which creates a record on the Orders table. When I then go to the subform to choose a product/line item, I get the error in my title ("The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'OrdersT.") as soon as a product is chosen from the drop down list.

The error is:
The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblIndividual.' '
Then it also gives me the same one on another table.
I think it has something to do with the link master/child fields. I've tried all kinds of relationships with the three tables and can't figure it out.
I've tried uploading the database here but it won't. It's on my Sky Drive.

Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code.
The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime"
Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False"
DoEvents
Loop
When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine.
If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime.
If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.
Thanks
Richard

I'm getting an error message (informational only):
The object doesn't contain the automation object 'ClientID.'You tried to run a visual basic procedure to set a property or method for an object. However, the component doesn't make the property or method available for Automation operations.
Check the components documentation for information on the properties and methods it makes available for automation operations.
This happens when I start entering data in the field "productname" of a subform.
So I'm assuming something in the form or in the code of the form is referring to ClientID. but I've checked it, and there is nothing referring to it anymore. Well, at least as far as I'm aware of.
This afternoon access crashed without any error, it just closed. Upon reopening the DB again, all my work of the past one and a half week was gone. Normally I always backup the data, but these past days I didn't due to christmas and still working a lot too. So I forgot.
I did some redesigning in the process this evening, deleting and adding some fields and code.
I can't get rid of this error. Can anyone help? Or point me in the right direction?
Also the DB is 3.5MB in size. While it is completely empty. And I can't imagine that some empty tables, queries, forms and a bit of code can be so much. But that's for a later time to worry about I guess, unless one of you says: this and that, maybe that works... Otherwise, I would really be very glad already if the error disappears....

I am at work, and I have acquired a database that prints labels. They now want the database to be coded so that after certain labels are printed the database will print a blank label. I have the code figured out as a Do While statement in order to print the blank label. The problem I am having is that I am trying to use the Insert Into command to insert the filepath into the table that adds the blank label.
|DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO Rod_tmakLabels ( Print, [Order] ) SELECT Yes AS Expr1, 'Rods Labels' AS Expr2"|
If I run the above command, it just adds the text "Rods Labels" at the end of the table. Is there anyway with the INSERT INTO command that I can insert the new label between the 2nd and 3rd row and add another row? Or is the command designed only to add a new row to the end? I haven't had any luck searching for this yet.

The expression ON Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
Member already exists in an object module from which this object module derives.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.

Table TBL_NEWDATA is used to append new data to table TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS.
TBL_NEWDATA { Person_ID, Department_ID }
TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS { Person_ID, Department_ID, ... }
I need to devise a query to append data for a particular Department_ID from TBL_NEWDATA to TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS where that data does not already exist there. i.e. for Department_ID 'Research', I would want to append 'Person_ID', 'Department_ID' (in this case: 'Research') to TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS for any tuples not already held.
INSERT INTO TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS (Person_ID, Department_ID)
SELECT Person_ID, Department_ID
FROM TBL_NEWDATA
WHERE TBL_NEWDATA.Department_ID='Form...'
[code]...
This Query takes a single argument from a control (Forms!Main!IN_Department), and this is the Department_ID to be updated.Is there any way to do this using a single query or will I have to use sub queries? I'd hoped not to as to keep the database as concise as possible.

I have a normalized DB with one to many relationships, using Primary and Foreign Keys.
I need to do inserts and maintain the PK/FK relationship, which means when I add a new PK I need to insert that PK as FK in other tables in the same transaction.
How do I do this in Access? SQL Server I use transactions, but I can't lock up the tables in Access like that.
I did a bunch of searching and found nothing, which leads me to believe I am way off in my thinking. Below are the dirty details
I have 2 tables, tblName and tblPhone. 1 name can have many phones.
tblName has PKName. tblPhone has PKPhone, FKName.
I have a form where user enters a new Name and PhoneNumber.
Name gets inserted to tblName, assigned with PKName = 100
Phone should get inserted into tblPhone with PKName.
IE Insert into tblPhone (FKName, PhoneNum) VALUES (100,"212-555-1212").
The dumb way I am doing it now is I insert to tblName, query tblname for the PK, then write to tblPhone. This can't be right.

table1 = 21 records
table2 = 21 records
table3 = 441 records
ex 1. (table1+table2)=(table3)
ex 2. (table1+table2)and(table1+table2)makes(table3)
as confusing as that sounds it gets worse
I want to find a way to do a true or false expression for the bottom formula.
There are nearly 195,000 possible combinations for ex 2, so you can see that after a short time you will find yourself doing repeats if you do not have something in place to tell you that you have done this combination before.
So, is there a way to have a msg box come up saying "Ooops, you have already tried this combination before"??

I want to run code when I change a page in the Tab Control object. The code I run depends on the page selected.
I tried the 'On Click' code of the page, but that didnt seem to run when I clicked on the pages.
The 'On Change' code of the Tab Control object seems to run whenever I change a page.
So the question is:
1/ Is it possible to run code when an individaul page is clicked on?
OR
2/ What is the syntax of identifying which page is selected?
If TabControl = 1 then
....
Else
...
????

Is there a way to tie a send object to a combo box on a form? I know I can write a query to pull information from a selection in a combo box using the [form][formname]thing. What I'm trying to do is I've created a database that allows many users to enter a request in a form. then when the form is complete they need to E-mail the form to their respective manager. I want them to choose from a combo box, then click on a button and the form is e-mailed to their manager for approval. I've gotten everything else to work accept for being able to choose the manager. I know I could also leave that blank and it will ask for them to enter the recipients name. If that's my only option I'm ok with that.
Thanks
PS If this issue has already been addressed I couldn't find it.

Hello everybody.
I have an Access application with a browse button that allows to search for files on computer. It does not work on all computers.
Computer A and computer B both are running XP Pro and Office Pro 2003.
Browse button works on A but throws ".. no object ..." error on B. It also works on a computer running Office 2002. Office was uninstalled [typical] and re-installed as full install on B and that did not fix the problem.
Here's my browse button code.
Private Sub cmdBrowse_Click()
' Prompts user for back-end database file name.
On Error GoTo Err_cmdBrowse_Click
Dim strFileName As String
Dim oDialog As Object
Set oDialog = Me!Xdialog.Object
With oDialog ' Ask for new file location.
.DialogTitle = "Please Select New Data File"
.Filter = "Access Database(*.mdb;*.mda;*.mde;*.mdw)|" & _
"*.mdb; *.mda; *.mde; *.mdw|All(*.*)|*.*"
.FilterIndex = 1
.ShowOpen
' If user responded, put selection into textbox on form.
If Len(.FileName) > 0 Then Me![txtFileName] = .FileName
End With
Exit_cmdBrowse_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdBrowse_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdBrowse_Click
End Sub
So, what's the difference between my A and B? Does it have to do with Activex controls?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
I've downloaded a database which creates cascading combo boxes; it's called CreateCascadeCombo, for which I am grateful to whoever took the trouble to create it.
However, after it has done it's work and vreates the form in my own datbase, it says to make sure the latest DAO Object library must exist in the same database. How do I ensure that is is? I'm using access 2003.

Is there a way I can print something that will tell what each table and/or query is dependent on and what depends on each one? I don't mean relationships, just the dependencies. I'm trying to clean up a database but it was built before I started and I use some of the prebuilt stuff and don't want to delete anything I need, but the query and table lists are excrutiatingly long. :(
