Stopping Problems When A Field Name Changes
Nov 1, 2004I have a database that requires new data from an Excel file every month. I have created a linked table, and the the user updates links each month, pointing the table at the new Excel file.
This has been working nicely until today when the Excel file arrived with different column names! The user linked the table as normal and started to run the database, but the queries were looking for different field names so the whole thing crashed. I changed the Excel column names and tried re-linking the table, but all the queries had changed so that the field names were things like "Expr1: [Depreciation_currentmonth]" even though that field name now existed.
Does anyone know of a way of stopping this happening, or restoring the queries without ploughing through each one manually?

General :: Address Text Field / Focus Field
Sep 24, 2012-How can I address the fields on my forms? I just want to create a button that increases a value by one on click.I tried
FORMNAME.FIELDNAME = FORMNAME.FIELDNAME + 1
FIELDNAME = FIELDNAME + 1
FORMNAME!FIELDNAME = FORNAME!FIELDNAME + 1
but the button does nothing. And that is all I found by googling.

Set Focus To The First Field
Mar 7, 2006I moved the Address field from third postion to first position, so that clicking on a list box places the address from the List Box into the Address field. I adjusted the bound and source boxes and it works perfectly. The cursor now points to the Last Name field (second position, which it did originaly.) I would like the cursor to point to the Address field so as not to confuse the operator. How can this be accomplished? I am sure the correct Event code will do the tick.

View 3 Replies View RelatedField Focus And Making MDE Files
Mar 8, 2005When I insert this code:
Private Sub Phone_Click()
Me.Phone.SelStart = 0
End Sub
Access will no longer make an MDE file. I was trying to make it so when the Phone field was clicked in the focus would be at the beginning of the field.
If I remove these lines, an MDE is possible again. I have tried it at the beginning and at the end. Any thoughts?

Dec 31, 2014I have a form (Home_Interview_Form) with several subforms (AirFresheners, Pesticides1 etc), and I would like the cursor to move from the last field in one subform to the first field in the next subform on keydown.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOLE Object Won't Get Focus In Form/Memo Field Problems
Jul 26, 2006Hi all,
I have added an OLE WordPad object to a form. However, when I use the form, I cannot select/give the object focus to activate it. Even if I right click the object, it give me the correct popup menu. :confused:
I am using this object as I am having troubles with Memo fields. I use a form to update records, one field of which must be greater than 255 characters long. When I press my update button (it just runs some code to turn off warnings, run two simple update queries and the turn the warnings back on) the update process seems to complete. However, if I go to the table/refresh the form contents, only the first 512 characters are displayed and the last few are strange system characters.:confused: This occurs no matter what I do. I was tole that copy/paste operations can mess memo fields up, but I tested this by using a fresh field and typing everything in. Hence I am now trying the OLE object to get around this problem. :confused:
Any ideas peeps??
Cheers,
Matt
General :: Change Keyboard Mappings On Field Focus
Mar 1, 2014Right I have Windows 7 Ultimate because I am learning Russian and I have created an English Russian dictionary.
Now using Ultimate to go between English Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet you have to press ALT + SHIFT.
Its awkward and it often doesn't register first time.
Certain fields in my database use the latin alphabet while other fields use the cyrillic alphabet.
Is there a way that on focus of a field I can get the keyboard mapping to ensure that it is correct either English or Cyrillics?
Stopping Pop Up Window Of F12 Key
Jul 20, 2007In order to prevent inexperienced users corrupting the design of the Forms, Reports etc. of my Access DB, I have unselected the relevant options at Tools – Startup and it doesn’t display the Objects window. However, I find that when I press F12 key, a pop up window appears with ‘Save As’ ‘Save ‘frm……’ To: As …..’ with OK and Cancel buttons. Though a user can save the form with a different name and this does not interfere with the proper functioning of the DB, I find this an irritant pop up window. Is there a way to stop this pop up window?

Stopping Duplicate Numbers
Jun 25, 2007I've got an incrementing invoice number that is just a +1 of the last invoice number. Had a problem today where one user was creating an invoice and took a while to complete the record. As soon as the record was created the invoice number went in as 123 but the record didn't save until she had filled out all the form. In the meantime someone else started to create another invoice and ended up with 123 as well because the previous record hadn't saved. Does anyone have any suggestins how I can stop this from happening? I can't save the record straight away, which would be the obvious answer as they need to fill out quite a few required fields before the record is saved so that they don't have incomplete records.
Thanks

Stopping Number Rounding Up
Apr 2, 2007G'day All,
I have a table that allows for data to be automatically imported into it or manually entered. When data is automatically entered into the table the number field shows the number as a decimal, but when I manually entered data into the column it rounds it up or down to the nearest whole number.
I have checked the the decimal place setting on the particular item and it is set to allow for 2 decimal places the format is fixed and the number itself is Long integer
Any help would be a appreciated.
Stopping Queries From Rounding Off
Dec 19, 2007I have two tables. Table1 has two monetary value fields (both set with auto decimal places) and table2 has one monetary field. Then I have an append query which appends all data from table1 to table2, except for the monetary fields which are added up and then appended into table2's single monetary field (which also has decimal places set to auto). The formula I use for this is as follows:
Total Value: [Gross Value]+[Adj'mt Value]
Problem is, the total figure appended to table2 is rounded off to the nearest integer, whilst still displaying decimal places (45.00, 201.00 etc). Is there some sort of variable to set in the query to stop it from rounding off the result of this formula?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
