I want to save a record with a command button. I am using RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord. Access gives me a prompt saying "You are about to update 1 record. Are you sure you want to update this record?"
How do I get it to stop prompting me every time?
Hi
I need to know how to stop access from saving the record when the
subform query is on focus?
Thanks
I need to save a single record (preferably the current record) as a PDF. I have created a form for my boss to calculate bids. He wants to save each record individually as a PDF to upload into our service software program to attach to client files. I can save a selected record as a PDF if I print the selected record first. We need to eliminate having to print it first as it is just a waste of paper and an unnecessary step. I am kind of thinking that VBA and attaching that to a control button on the form is the way to go, but I am new to writing code and I am completely confused!
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a Form in which a user is prompted for a road name and that a listing of all values having that road name are displayed. My problem is that Road Name in the database is a combination of the road name and road suffix such as Evergreen Street. I want the operatior to be able to enter just the road name, Evergreen, and get a listing of all Evergreen addresses; Evergreen St., Evergreen Rd., Evergreen Ln., etc. How do I create the prompt so that it ignores the road suffix and searches just on the name?
I should add that I know how to use brackets in a form prompting the user to input a parameter. In a query I can use "*" to find all those records having a portion of the desired data. For example in my query I can use "Evergreen*"
to find all records where the fisrt portion of the data record is Evergreen.
How can I apply the "*" to a user entry prompt.
But how do I have a message box pop up that warns the user he is about to edit an already entered record?
Is there a setting for this in the form design. Or do I need VBA, in which case what form event would I tie the msg box too?
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:
I have a subform with records of call details (date, time, subject) - the date and time are autogenerated and subject is a text field. After entering text in the subject field and then clicking on the close button in the main form, or clicking anywhere else in the main form, the record is saved to the table. However, if I enter text in the subject field and then move up to view previous records (within the subform) and then click the close button in the main form the record is not saved in the table. How can I either save the record before allowing the user to move to another record within the subform or before exiting the subform set the focus to the new record so that it will be saved on exit?

Thanks,
On a pop up form I have a list box. The row source for the list box is
Code:
SELECT tblWebOrder.WebOrderId AS [Web Order No], tblWebOrder.CustomerWebOrderNumber, Format([WebOrderDate],"dd/mm/yyyy") AS [Order Date], tblCustomer.CustomerName AS [Customer Name], tblArea.Area FROM (tblCustomer LEFT JOIN tblArea ON tblCustomer.[PhysicalAreaId] = tblArea.[AreaId]) INNER JOIN tblWebOrder ON tblCustomer.CustomerID = tblWebOrder.CustomerId WHERE (((tblWebOrder.Processed) Like [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![txtOrderStatus]) AND ((tblWebOrder.WebOrderDate) Between [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![dteStartDate] And [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![dteEndDate]+1)) ORDER BY tblWebOrder.WebOrderId DESC;
I have the following "On Click"event on the list box
Code:
Private Sub lstWebOrder_Click()
lngWebOrderId = Me.lstWebOrder.Column(0)
DoCmd.Echo False
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.Echo True
End Sub
When I click on some of the records on the list box the form closes. On some of the records I get a parameter prompt to enter:
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!txtOrderStatus
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!dteStartDate
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!dteEndDate
I inserted the echo commands to prevent this, but this has not worked!
Why am I getting the prompts? How do I prevent them?
I do not have a split db. I am prompted to enter my password when the db opens which is fine. However, when I close the db it prompts me to enter a password (not normal) and when I enter it it says invalid password. Also, when I try to change my password it says invalid password and when I try to compact and repair my db it say invalid password.

I have one small quick question. How can get blank or new record after saving
Cheers
Iam very new to ACCESS. So please do forgive me for
believing that the "SAVE AS" function in ACCESS is as easy as
something similar we do in Microsoft Word.
After searching this forum and others I realise that there is no easy way
and it is considered as some thing for serious users.
(with additional coding not available in ACCESS)
Perhaps there are easier ways that I am not aware of.
I would like to open a record in a FORM which has one Combo Box
for text data, several text and Numeric fields.
I then need to change a few items and save the record as a New
Record
Only a few (mostly numeric fields) and some date entries will be changed
as well as a couple of calculated fields in the NEW RECORD.
I shall appreciate any suggestion as to how to do this.
I'm terribly sorry to bother on what seems like a very simple matter, but I've just given up on MicroSofts documentation.
I just want to execute the Shift+enter type of save-record command (also available from the "Records" menu at the top) when a field loses focus. This would need to be part of my VB code as I'm doing other things on this event as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I have a form and I have a button so people can open records to load into the form. The problem is that whenever they close the form it updates the information in the table. How do I stop that from happening?
I want the information in the table to update only when they hit the button I made (which works).
And how do I stop it from loading the record when I open the form, or maybe I can specify to load a blank record instead, how do I do that?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
This should be an easy one...I would like to save a record part-way while filling out a form. I know this can be accomplished by pressing Shift+Enter, but does anyone know the vb code for saving a record while working on a form?
Thanks.
Ok, here is my scenario.
I have several FE's each saving in their own BE. They are all the same but for different areas of our business. Each has around 20-30 users. I recently introduced another form into the FE that has linked tables to another different BE in another folder. Each FE out there with its own BE now has this form and all of the new forms save to the same (one) BE. Ok, got it?
Now, sure its possible to have them all together and I would anticipate someone suggesting this. Its split up to keep sizes down and performance up among other reasons.
In any event, here I am. All of the new form introductions went smoothly without a hitch. The last one however is causing trouble. On submit an e-mail is sent, the user is asked if they want to submit another form, and if yes a new record is created. If no the form is closed.
E-mails are always sent, no problem. The trouble is saving the record. All except one of the different FE's I have out there in different folders save the record into the table just fine. There is one though that does not do this. The mail is sent and the program behaves normally with no errors but the record is not saved. This does not happen to all users of this FE either. There are some users that work fine and the record is saved in the BE yet other users do not save the record. You can see the .ldb appear and disappear. Our IT dept has been through the permissions time and time again and tell me they are ok. The FE and main BE are in one folder while the BE that the new form talks to is in its own folder. Remember, this works fine for several other instances, its just the one that doesn’t save the record.
I did have a chance to see the permissions the other day and it seems a mess to me. They have users in individually, as they were set up initially and the same users are also in there in a group and maybe 2 groups. The permissions look a mess to me… they really do…. but that doesn’t necessarily mean they would not work and can be blamed. I have no control over this part and it drives me nuts!
What I have done...... copied a working FE from another area into the troubled folder. No good. I have removed the new form along with its linked tables and the record is saved. Put the form and linked tables back in and it stops saving again. The code compiles just fine. I have done compact and repairs.
Any thoughts or ideas out there??? If you need more info ask. I understand what I wrote but you might not LOL
hola,

Hi all,
I've got this form working ok but need to add some extra functionality but haven't a clue how to do it!
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10175
The uploaded database has two main forms. The first is used to enter customer data, the second runs from a query and shows all those records that have been completed in the first form (frmCustInfo - AgentLog = Yes) but not completed in the second form (frmControlsSource - AnalystLog = No)
Then more data is input into one of the subforms (frmControlChecks). Now in order for me to see the results of the queries connected to two other subforms I have to move off the record and back to it (for the record to be saved and then the queries run)
After moving back to the record, the query results on the right (Information Only) are manually added to the last subform 'Input Two', then the user would move on to the next record and do the same.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I need it to do then is this: When the user tabs off the last field in the subform (frmControlChecks), the queries to the right (two subforms) would run, showing the results and also populating the last subform (frmAnalystInput)
The user would then click AnalystLog and move to the next record.
I hope this is possible without redoing the forms/queries because it's taken ages to get this far
I've also added info in this sample database and some working data if you want to take a look...thanks for any help
Good morning all! I've got three bound combos set to visible = false on their property sheetsThese will remain hidden or will be revealed depending on the selection made in another bound combo cmbType.
The select case below works fine on the form but the selection affects all records not just the current record. Open record 1 and select "compliment" from the first combo - the three others correctly stay hidden. Move to record 2 and select complaint and the combos appear - Great! Move back to record 1 and they're showing there as well. Groan. Helllllppp!
Private Sub cmbType_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Select Case cmbType.Value
Case "Complaint"
cmb2Day.Visible = True
cmb15Day.Visible = True
cmbOver15.Visible = True
Case "Compliment"
cmb2Day.Visible = False
cmb15Day.Visible = False
cmbOver15.Visible = False
Case "Suggestion"
cmb2Day.Visible = False
cmb15Day.Visible = False
cmbOver15.Visible = False
End Select
End Sub
I'm posting this question to Forms forum because I'm sure I can't do this with a report--though a report is really what I need to be using.
My database has buttons on the forms to preview a "page printout" report based on the data in the record displayed. The reports - formatted to closely resemble printed questionnaires provided by the client - are based on queries, run with criteria conditions to match the record on the screen. So, to run the report, you have to have queriable data -- i.e. the data shown in the form has to have been saved to table. So the print preview buttons include a Save command.
The client would like to be able to view the printout of a potential new (or changed) record without saving. (There is an audit trail that tracks changes and deletions once a record has been saved.) The only way I can think of that this might be done would be to print directly off of the form--which would produce un-pretty results at best, I'm afraid, and seems like a headache to set up. But would it even work? Using the file menu to preview printout of a form seems to save the record.
So, my questions:
1. Is there something I'm missing such that I could run the reports without saving the data?
2. If I DID print out the form instead of the report, can even THAT be done without saving the record? (They would only need to preview without saving, not actually print.)
I have a field on a form [vin] that is based on a table, except i changed control source to a Dlookup to pull the vin number in from another table so i wont have to type it when i enter the record. However, this field is not saving when i save the record. I cannot just make a relationship because we reuse the same vehicle numbers, when we sell van 1 with vin 123, and replace it with a new van with Vin 456, we still call it van 1, so the unique vin is the only way to distinguish the two.

I want to have a box with yes/no choices defining the Lessons a Student chooses. Sth like this
Because the Lessons are quite plenty and they change from time to time, I don't want to have them predefined in the Sudent table, but to have a related table containg the Lessons providing more flexibility.
My problem is how to assign the Yes/No values from the form to a single record. ANy suggestions?
A first thought is to create a List from Lessons table, with 2 columns. 1st the Lesson and 2nd the Y/N box. Every Lesson would have a value like this:
1,2,4,8,16,32,64...
With this way the sum of the Lessons would be unique for each combination and it could be saved in a single record. But such a solution is not so practical.
Any alternatives?
Thnx in advance
