I am having a problem with displaying the scroll bars in Access. I have created a database which is viewed correctly in 1280x720 screen resolution, which is our standard setting. However, we have recently taken on some users with sight problems, and they are using a different screen resolution.
This means that the forms do not fully display on the page, and I would like to add scroll bars to the access window rather than the form so that the user can move up and down the displayed form. Is this possible?
Basically what I want to do is create a form that combines 2 tables. For example, I want to be able to display a name, then display and be able to scroll through all information associated with that name. For instance, if the name had more than one address, how would I create that form with the right relationships and with the scroll bars? Thanx
In the forms that I have made, none of the listboxes ever scroll with the mouse scroll wheel. I have tried to click into the listbox first to ascertain that the focus is in the listbox but nothing works. the only way to scroll is to manually drag the scroll bar tab. I want to find out how i can make my scrolling work. I guess that there must be a global setting somewhere to switch it on or off... Any insight into this will be highly appreciated!
I have a text box containing a lot of explanitory text and I want vertical scroll bars.
I have set the 'scroll bars / vertical' in the properties of the text box and yet...no scroll bars. I feel that some other setting is preventing the scroll bars.
My problem is that I have a couple of forms where scrollbars are not appearing on forms when they are too long to fit on-screen. Instead they're just going below the bottom of the screen and there's no way to access things at the bottom of the form. This is happening with a data input form as well as with a form I'm using to filter and display a report. I've tried selecting both "Vertical only" and "both" for the scrollbar property of the form, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
The forms are being opened in "dialog" mode, the only option for opening a form in a web database when using a macro to open it, it seems. If I manually open the form in 'normal' mode, it has scrollbars. Also, if I open a report with a macro (on click), it has the option to open in 'normal' mode and has scrollbars and all is well. But if I want the user to be able to click a button to open the form, it seems I have to use dialog mode.
I sat my form properties to display both scroll bars, but it's only dispalying the horizontal one even though the form needs the vertical (a few text boxes are not displayed because they are at the bottom of the form).
I have tried to close the DB and reopen it again and played about with the properties, but it still does not show the vertical scroll bar.
it is possible to be able to scroll through a List Box with just a mouse over? Or, do you need to set focus on the ListBox before being able to scroll?
My main experience is with MySQL and PHP so I'm kindof stumbling around in the dark here. Heres my story:
We recieved a new server and migrating from (Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Access 2000) to (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, Access 2003) has been nothing but problems.
I have setup IIS to work with ASP, I've also setup a system DSN. The access file was copied over from the previous server. We're running Access 2003 and now I can't seem to get this ASP script to work.
When I try to upload a file to the script I get this error:
Line: 42 Char: 7 Error: HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL statement expected 'DELETE','INSERT','PROCEDURE','SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'. Code: 0 Url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)
Its included in a file called FileRead.htm here is the part that refers to the error lines: Code: var TheFile, FileStrm;// Retrieved field namesvar M_ssn, M_inits, M_Lname, M_Fname, M_DSSN, M_ruc, M_paycode;var M_normamt, M_payamt, M_pgrp, M_poe, M_pltcd, Payrollnum, Payrolldate;// var Trash, FieldData, FieldNames;var TrashLineNum = 1;// Create the file Stream Object (ReadOnly)TheFile = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");FileStrm = TheFile.OpenTextFile(FName,1,false);// Setup the Database Connectionvar SQLCommand, TheRS, TheConnection, DSNString, Commands, MyDC;FieldNames = new Array("ssn","inits","lname","fname","dssn","ruc","cco", "payamt","normamt","notsureone","pgrp","poe", "pltcode","recstatus","paychgflg","paystatuscode", "payrollnum","payrolldate");// Connect the the DatabaseDataLib.ConToDB();MyDC = DataLib.GetDC();// Get Payroll NumberPString = prompt("Enter Payroll Number","025");Payrollnum = parseInt(PString,10);// Get Payroll DateDString = prompt("Enter Payroll Date","20000101");Payrolldate = DateLib.FromMil(DString);// Setup the Database Connectionvar NumRecs = 0;//MyTest = DataLib.GetRS("PaydayUpdate1");alert("About to cross into the CurExtract!!!");MyRS = DataLib.GetRS("SELECT * FROM CurExtract");
I set an alert after this line but it doesn't pop up.
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'll be checking this very frequently.
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

Help! I'm not sure how I did this, but NO matter what database I go into i can see any toolbar or menu bar. Yes I tried the shift key. How do I turn it all back on? When I right click I can get the database startup properties, everything has the check, yet I can't see any toolbars or menu bars. I've searched though the help, and I can't see to find out how to put it back.

I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD() On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO Exit Sub
I have added a scroll list to my access form and although I can see the item I need to pick in the drop down list when I manually start typing it, the scroll box doesn't bring the value up and states that the value I have selected is not in the list (when it clearly is !!)
Ok so I have a new project. I have run all queries and appended them to my tab inventory. My mission is to take all of the query's and create a table that combines all missing parts info (I.E.> date, part#, plant, location, inventory, reorder pt.) How do i do this and if you need more information please message me back. I would greatly appreciate any help.
I have a report writer in access which i use to generate reports from act! (a CRM software by sage).
Recently, there has been some changes and development in act! software (we added new fields into it). I am trying to update the tables in access with the new fileds, but am not able to do so.
For a databse which I am going to create, I would like to have an authentication system which utilises the database users which I specify, however instaed of using a password the idea would be to use a fingerprint scanner to logon. T^his would be for an A - Level IT project and I would seriously like to know how to integrate biometric security into a database. If anyone knows how to do this please post CLEAR instruction possibly with some SCREENSHOTS if possible.
This query is in relation to an Access 97 database.
A problem that we are consistently having is that whenever people are using the database under different user names, it only allows one user at a time to use it. So basically if three of us are on it updating files or enquiring on client details, two of us are locked out leaving only one in. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Please consider the situation below: There is a central server and there are many client PCs connected to the server. On each client PC, there is an access database file that will be frequently updated by the user of the PC.
What I want to do is to allow the user on each of the client PC to backup their database file to the central server;
At the server side, it is free to use any architecture(eg using file system or another database to store the file) to facilitate the backup purposes. One of simplest solution is to upload the entire database file to the central server everytime. However, the problem is the access database file on each client PC is quite big, hence it is better not to upload the entire file but only to upload the updated data to the central server.
Is there a way to synchronise the data with central server without upload the entire database file? What kind of architecture should built up in the central server if there is a way?
