I'm trying to modify an existing database to make it easier and faster to search for homeowners. Currently, there is a search window that has two radio buttons, and a list box. one radio button is to search by address and another by last name. When you click one of these, it shows all the records in the list box. The problem is that 1. this is time consuming scrolling through over 300 records, and 2. more search options are needed, to include tag numbers of vehicles, and also phone numbers of residents. What Im trying to do is replace the radio buttons with a text box that will search all of the wanted fields, and produce a list of results in the list box. I'd rather not use a search button and just have the list box filter out as you type, but if a button must be used then thats fine. I've tried different ways, and searched all over the new for weeks, but cannot find the solution to my problem. Here is the current and original code. Thanks in advance for your help....Mike

HOMEOWNERS = table where all the info is located

this is the code that im using to help me with a listbox and a search text box that is embedded on my main form. it works ok. The problem is, i was trying to link an already filled out Table with data to this interface.
When i key in information from the form it works, but when i just enter stuff through the table (which was already completed and handed to me) When I click in the listbox on the main form the code window just pops up showing this section of my code. Help./
I'm scanning bar codes into the record search box, most of the time it works as it should but occasionally I get multiple "cannot open any more databases" errors. It still finds the product record but the error messages are super annoying. I am sure to clear the memory on the scanner each time before I scan in a new barcode but it doesn't seem to matter. Also sure to only have one or 2 forms open at a time, that doesn't seem to matter either. Most of the time I don't get the errors but when I have to click through like 10+ error messages (all identical). I only have one database open so I'm not sure what it even means. Also I have tried this in 2 different forms and it's the same for both forms. Seems like I get the errors in my initial scan and then after clearing them it seems to work without errors.
How can I show data by category? I have 2 tables 1) Categories, field 1 in Category Id, Field 2 is Category name 2) Contacts, Field 1 is Category name which is the relationship with the category name field in the categories table, the rest of the fields are adress, phone, fax ect, ect.
I would like to be able to view the contacts by category name, but I don't know how to do it. I have created a report but the report shows all the contacts, not by category.
What is the first step in accomplishing this? I am not very adept with queries so please I can really use some giudance. I have also been on the MSOffice traiing site but that didn't help me much. Of course I didn't know what I training to do :).
I have an Excel sheet that I'd like to bring into an Access Form -- populate the Excel cells with data from textboxes on the Access Form and print it. I tried copy/pasting various things in, but it's pasting even text from a cell as an Excel object (let alone joined cells and images). Where can I find more information about this?
I found http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=210288 But, when I put that code into the form for saving text from a text box to an Excel cell, it tells me that the word "Set" is a "Compile error: Invalid outside procedure."
Also, how do I refer to a joined cell? I've found that I can copy from a joined cell, paste into a host cell and select "Paste Link". This puts an absolute reference to the joined cell in the host cell (=$A$7, for instance) and when I change the joined cell the host cell is changed. Pasting =$A$7 seems to merely put the face value of "=$A$7 into the host cell.
:eek: I have 'Arrival date' and 'Number of Nights' fields and i'm trying to find all clients that are staying on a certain date. I enter the date in a form and reference this in a query. In the Arrival Date criteria i have:
<=[Forms]![frmFindDate]![txtFindDate] And >=([Forms]![frmFindDate]![txtFindDate]-[tblStays]![NoNights])
which i thought might do it, but i get a message saying 'You canceled the previous operation.':confused:
If anyone can understand what I'm on about could you please help, it would be much appreciated.
New to this, but found some helpful tips/code already that I've integrated into my project.
You may well be familar the issue tracker database available for download from Office Online, well I'm using this for a little project I'm running.
What I want to do is tie up a few snippets as follows:
1-On my form I have a button called "Close" 2-When I click the Close button I want to check two fields, "closure" and "fix" and ensure that they have content i.e. not null 3-If they have content then I want to alter the "Status" field of the displayed record from Open or Suspended to closed (these are the three options for this field) 4-If the "closure" and/or "fix" fields are empty then I want a msgbox to pop up promting the user to fill out the relevent field/s, otherwise mark the record as closed
So;
Click close button, check contents of two fields, pop up a message if either or both empty, enter details in empty field/s, click button again and as both fields are now complete,mark the records status field as closed.
I've got so far but can't quite tie it all together, is what I'm asking possible? What do you need from me to help answer the question?
I am trying to transfer daily data that I get from three different queries all into one Excel sheet. I take it that you have to make one over-arching query which I have made called Awaiting Base.
I have the attached code in a query. It should be bringing back just one row for each record, however, if I have anything in any column other than Call_NUmber_int it brings back multiples if that record.
I currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.
When I click a tab (table,queries,reports or module) I receive an error that says (" isn't an index in this table. Look in the indexes collection of the TableDef object to determine the valid index names). Please help.
i have been sick for quite a while,But back on track now.In the past i was building a car event db and would like to finish it.I have checked it out and there seems to be a few errors that i can't remember anything about.
you must have outlook installed otherwise some missing references come up.also there seems to be a problem with the date on the invoice form,the backup section in utilites.
If someone could have a look and point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
I have database which has worked normally, and just made a couple of amendments
I then go to edit a form (which I had not amended) and get an Access has an fatal error etc.
I reopened it. and repaired compiled etc, but absolutely impossible to get into this form. Access crashes every time I try to do something with it. I can't even delete the form.
(This was A97)
There's no problem, I just got my last back up, and imported the changes I had made from the faulty dbs -
I just wondered if anyone else ever got these issues, and what they did about them.
I've created an Access Database off of an old Fox Pro System. What I need to do is take the data from the tables in the old system and convert them in Access '03. I have roughly 4600 records to transfer.
When I copy the data from the old system and paste it in an Access table, only 300 or so records are pasted. Also, when I check the paste errors, there are less than 100 in there. Where are they going?
Some of the files aren't pasting because there were input errors on some. Others are linked with a department and Acct number and some of those are no longer current, so another reason why some of these records aren't pasting. This is a problem, but should only be around 500-1000 records tops.
I have noticed if I paste less at a time, I get less errors and more are actually copied through, but I don't know exactly how many I should do at a time?
Some questions I have are:
1. How many should I paste at a time?
2. Am I missing something with the paste errors, is there like a setting I can adjust?
3. Is there a better way to convert this old table into a new table?
Any suggestions or comments would be great because I have been stuck on this for a while and I DO NOT want to input these records one by one.
Thank you in advance,
Josh
Here's an email I sent to one of my friends seeing if he had any insight. I might explain my problem a little better here:
Purchasing Department has an old Fox Pro Contract System. I made this same system into Access and it works great. My problem is now converting the tables from the old system into the new system. There are approx. 4200 records. I have tried pasting them all in together and also sections at a time, but everything I do so, I get more or less copied through, and more or less paste errors displaying the ones that hadn’t copied over.
The reason some are not pasting in is because of old user input errors. Another reason is department and account numbers have changed therefore when the copy takes place, if Access doesn’t recognize an Acct number, then it cannot relate it to a department and will not paste in. I’m fine with that though. The problem I’m having is I’m always getting different amounts of errors each time I do this. For example, I did the first 500 records. Had 21 paste errors, all the others pasted fine. I then tried to do less so I copied the first 400 and only received 3 errors, but then I did the next 400 after that and only 200 pasted through and it only displayed 20 or so paste errors. I think there are roughly 400-500 bad records so I’m not understanding why all but those 400-500 paste.
We have an access db that has been working fine for ages and now when we click on a New Record button we are getting the following error:-
Run time error 2105 - you can't go to the specified record. erroring out on the line DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec. We are not aware of anything changing on the PC that the db is sitting on. I have spent the whole day searching the web but have found nothing helpful.
I have compacted and repaired the db, even went to the form/table security to see if all users can edd/add.

I do a query to remove "." from a list of my servers. This works great, but for every name on the list without a "." I get an error in the output. Is there any way to remove these errors from the output, so I only see the data that has been properly pruned down?
I have an unbound combo box that is sporadically failing with an error message when an entry in its pulldown list is selected. The error message is to the effect: 'The value you entered isn't valid for this field' .
The record source for the combo box is a table/query which is updated by an event triggered by another control on the form. That code also sets the Format property of the combo box to match the native Format of the field from which the combo box is retrieving the data. So data from Yes/No field, a date field, or a currency field, for example, display properly in the revised combo box. When the combo box is populated from a source field that has no special format (the usual case, as with text fields), the code resets the combo box's Format to "".
Again, the combo box has no control source (it is unbound). So, the only culprit for an error message like this that I can think of is this Format property. Yet, when the error occurs, the combo box's Format is properly set to "", which should permit any kind of data, and I try entering any kind of data at all -- all data is rejected with this error message.
this is probably an old one but its catching me out. I'm writing a sports club database in ASP. When users submit their club details in the form to Access, I get errors if it has the characters ' in any of the fields. I've managed to get around " by replacing it with "". However, this doesn't seem to work with '
I'm new to ASP... anyhow the part of my form which deals with this is:
I also do a bit more error checking on the email address, for length, @ etc. This bit seems to work ok. However, Any tips on how to improve the error handling for ' or " before its submitted to access is appreciated.
My Access 2000, created the dummy's way, has been perfectly happy with its query expressions. But when I create a module calling up these queries, I get Compile Error on many perfectly legal expressions such as Left([pfn],1). I've tried repairng the database but to no avail. What is going on, please?
Btw, DBicken, it's when I include your text concantenation code (Posting 6/21/06: "A whole lotta text/stitching") but I don't think it's your fault: it's just exposing it. I can't try your suggestion until I solve this problem.
The problem is that when an admin update the database from a web application that I created in .asp, it gave an error message. The only way to fix this is to restart the IIS services and others that depend on IIS. But this is not practical.

P.S. This is an Online Food Menu which is inside an 'Employee Directory' that is a web application. When a user open up the 'Employee Directory', it load up the page along with an icon to view 'Online Food Menu'. Kind of like having a web application within a web application. Updating the Employee Directory is not a problem. The issue lies on the admin side where s/he try to update the menu, it give 2 of the above errors that I mention.
Background I'm appending data using an append query. I have a known error that I'm trying to work around. sometimes when trying to append, the field names are slightly different and I get a prompt for a parameter value. ideally i'd like all the field names to match up...
So.... I'm trying to error trap this. what I need is some code that will...
if prompted for a parameter, cancel the parameter and goto query 2 (or error1).
I can't seem to use on error because access isn't treating it as an error...
Since we have installed the latest Windows critical security updates, upon closing an Access database, the database gets corrupted. Error code is c000020c.
How can I prevent all remaining Macro actions from executing after getting an error in a vba module (such as an ODBC timeout) in a previous macro step?
I know I can add conditions to each macro step, but don't know how to look for "any error".
We have multiple users using the same database as local copies on each of their PC's. they are entering information in specifically assigned areas and no one is overlapping in their work areas. The users then synchronize to a master database that is on the network to transfer their info.
When synchronizing we are beginning to conflict errors, and the message is hard to decipher. Below is an example:
"Update/Delete conflict: Another replica also updated this record. This record lost the conflict. Either resubmit your update or delete the conflict record."
It then shows two columns. Column 1 has the option to "Keep exisiting data" an dcolumn two has the option to "Override with conflicting data".
Technically, when synchronization happens, data of the user who is synchronizing overrides existing data in the master database in the same record(s). In that spirit, what is the 'existing' and 'conflicting' data referred to in the message?
I did a search on common access errors and other errors that you would want to trap and got the following results:
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only Operation must use an updateable query General error Unable to open registry key Could not find file Could not use '(unknown)'; file already in use Table 'tblTable' is exclusively locked by user 'Admin' on machine 'MyMachine' Too few parameters. Expected 1 Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal The search key was not found in any record
If you know any extra errors, can you please add them to this list?
