Strange, A Nightmare But Real!
Apr 27, 2005
Many will look at this and laugh but its real.
My Access Dbs are opened in hidden state and i dont see my forms.
This must be the cause.
I tried to hide the menubars using ghudsons code,i disabled the shift key. But i dont know what has happened.
I can nolonger view them. I have tried every method out and i think the only option is to repair OS, may be it will work.
I have enabled the database which i disabled the shift key but when i hold down the shift key, it loads but the forms are totally hidden, STRANGE! ijust see the grey access background and when i click on it twice from the task bar.It pops up.
I have tried to make another database, use the autoexec macro to call a form which enables all command bars, but this works only for this database and when i press the shift key down, this database hides the toolbars and i only see the grey access background. This is happening on EVERY DB ive developed on this machine. I thought it was the access that is totally corrupted but i tried to reinstall my office and i still get the same results
This is now a NIGHTMARE to me.
When db is shifted to another machine it works fine as before.
This is REAL but can i get some suggestions from you folks before i repair my OS.

I have a table called 'students' with the appropriate fields. There is another table named parents_prof which contains records of common professions. The tables are related through the 'ID_parents_prof' of the 'parents_prof' table to two fields on the table 'students', thus 'students.father_prof' and 'students.mother_prof'.
1st question) Is that possible? Is it possible to create a relation between the key field of one table to two different fields of another table? Is it a good practice?
I did this because I want to build a query which checks for both fields together, meaning I want Access to return a record if the appropriate profession is in either field of mother's or father's profession.
SELECT students.surname, students.name, students.father_name, students.father_prof, students.mother_name, students.mother_prof
FROM parents_prof INNER JOIN students ON (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.mother_prof) OR (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.father_prof)
GROUP BY students.surname, students.name, students.father_prof, students.mother_prof, parents_prof.parents_prof
HAVING (((parents_prof.parents_prof) Like "*" & [enter profession] & "*"));
Access cannot represent the above graphical, so I had to enter the
OR (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.father_prof)
in the SQL formula.
2nd question) Is the above proper query, according to the rules?

Is there any way that I can import a text file and split the data into three columns without having to go through 65000 lines of text.
It is basically a print off of a directory structure. I have a very large text file that lists the files in folders for each of hundreds of users. I need to divide the information up into three columns so that the below data:
BOBSongs
2003-07-15 12:10 PM 1,474,564 blue.mp3
2003-07-15 12:09 PM 858,204 orange.mp3

BOBfiles
2005-08-23 03:01 PM 917,504 writing.doc
ends up looking like this:
BOBsongs1,474,564 blue.mp3
BOBsongs858,204 orange.mp3
BOBsongs1,665,028 yellow.mp3
BOBsongshappy 917,504 jolly.mp3
BOBsongshappy 331,005 joker.mp3
BOBfiles917,504 writing.doc
I easily imported the file into Excel, but it is still all in a column. Any advice would be appreciated.

Poor old Access. I think I've made it wave a white flag, but based on the following expression I am trying to get it to evaluate, I'm not too surprised...
The situation is that I have a large number of tick boxes on a form, which nicely filter through to a series of fields in a table whose values are either -1 or 0 (according to if the box is ticked or not). Unfortunately, I now need to generate a small piece of text for a report based on which boxes have been ticked. Deep breath...
institution:
IIf([people].[memctf]=-1,"CTF",(
IIf([people].[memwt]=-1,"Westcott",(
Iif([people].[memwy]=-1,"Wesley",(
Iif([people].[memry]=-1,"Ridley",(
Iif([people].[memwm]=-1,"Westminster",(
Iif([people].[memiocs]=-1,"IOCS",(
Iif([people].[memermc]=-1,"ERMC",(
Iif([people].[memmbi]=-1,"Margaret Beaufort Institute",(
Iif([people].[memcjcr]=-1,"CJCR",(
Iif([people].[memcym]=-1,"CYM",(
Iif([people].[memindepba]=-1,"Independent BA",(
Iif([people].[memhmc]=-1,"Henry Martyn Centre",(
Iif([people].[memregchelm]=-1,"Regional (Chelmsford)",(
Iif([people].[memregnor]=-1,"Regional (Norwich)",(
Iif([people].[memregpboro]=-1,"Regional (Chelmsford)",(
Iif([people].[memregalbans]=-1,"Regional (St Albans)",(
Iif([people].[memdiocedsips]=-1, "Diocesan (Eds and Ips)",(
Iif([people].[memdiocnorwich]=-1, "Diocesan (Norwich)",(
Iif([people].[memreg]=-1, "Regional", "Unknown"
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The logic seemed to work nicely when there were just 3 options in the list, but when I try to enter the above, Access says "the expression you entered is too complex". Poor baby! :D
Does any one have any idea how I can get it to evaluate the data I need?

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am in the process of designing a database (Access 2002, office xp), but the problem I am having is that when I am pulling in an ID number, from one form into another form, the form I want this number to land in crashes, with the warning that more than one user is trying to access the form at the same time (they are not, just me).
After having to clear this error box (a few times, it keeps reapearing) errors then appear in each of the destination forms fields. :eek:
I think it is something to do with the way the database is setup in multiuser envirionments and retry intervals etc - and I have been playing about with the values, which seems to work once, but then it goes straight back to crashing. :confused:
If anybody give me some default values that might work :o or any other remedies for this problem, this help would be very much appreciated :)
Many Many thanks.

Greetings,
I'm using flash mx and MDM zinc which i assume connects using the JET rather than ADO database engine.
For the life of me cannot get a simple update to work due to the dates
involved, lost count how many hours have gone by trying!!!
Within access I can easily switch quotes and hash symbols and all SQL THREE SQL queries work without problems on my database i.e.
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= '19/2/2008 12:15'
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= "19/2/2008 12:15"
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= #19/2/2008 12:15#
Within the database the fields are defined as :-
Results (Integer) Username (Text) and QuizDate (Date/Time) within MS ACCESS DB schema.
in Flash MX TextDate param is a STRING and All parmaters are populated appropriately (see this later in error message).
Example of existing date data stored in database in format "19/02/2008
16:48:11" as a DATE/TIME field.
My code within in flash is :-
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " +
UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = '" +textDate
+ "' ");
I've tried with and without Hashes still no joy ..
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " +
UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = Format( '"+
textDate +"', "#yyyy\-mm\-dd hh:nn:ss#")");
The error message I get from the code above is ..
SQL Query has failed for the following reason: Data type mismatch in
criteria expression SQL statement: UPDATE UserResultsOverall SET Results =
30 WHERE UserName = 'd' AND QuizDate = Format('19/2/2008 19:4:35'
,"#yyyy-mm-dd hhnss#")
My text string removes the leading zeros not sure if that would cause an
issue or not (its doesnt in MS ACCESS running query) ...
Anyone have any ideas??? Losing my mind here !!
PS I had problems using '&' instead of '+' to concatenate fields.
Cheers
Rob

Hello, im having a real problem running a certain query in access. My database is used to monitor drain spillages, and the query im trying to build needed to look down a column and show descrite water spills. A descrite spill is when water spills for a bit then stops. I need to show how many times this happens in a column.
The complexity of the problem (comparing one value in a column to other values in that column) coupled with the size of the dataset (600K+ rows) just baffles everything I throw at it.
I had two stabs at it. One involved a recordset - looping through and updating a new field. Recordsets can cause database bloat - in this case it bloated the db to 2GB (Accesses maximum size causing the code to crash) - this is something I've never managed before. The other involved a function that left access frozen.
I was really stuck on this until a crazy idea came to mind, i want to know if this would work.
This might sound stupid but how about some crazy thing like adding a new column and numbering the fields, then adding some kind of query that says if the value is over 0.001 then add a 1, if not leave blank. Then have something like if the column has a 1 in it then check the next, if this one has a 1 in it then repeat this step, if not then this is 1 spill. Store the amount it starts and stops to a variable and just use that number as the Number of descrite spills.
Would this work?
Thanks,
Marley.

Hey All,
Im using MS Visual Web Developer with an Access Database, i am trying to enter a new row of data into a database via a select statment attached to a button_click event. the code i am using looks something like this.
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.AccessDataSource2.SelectCommand = "INSERT INTO [Tblissues] ([IssueDate], [IssueTime], [PlantLocation], [MachineName]) VALUES ('12/9/06', '3:00 PM', 'Gville', 'Snack2')"
End Sub
that being said. when i click the button, NOTHING happens, no error and no insert!!!
I did test the connection to the Database and its fine, i can do an update and i can read the data that exists in the database i just cant insert a new row.
This is not the first time i have delt with INSERT statments but this has me at my whits end and any help would be great.
Thanks

Hi
I have created a monster I think and I am not sure how or why.
I needed a query to tie together data from a range of tables and so it has about 20 constituent queries, each of which involves some calculation.
The query isn't so horrendous
SELECT tblApplications.lngApp, qryExpWkHomeHelp.WkHomeHelp, qryExpWkPrescrip.WkPrescrip, qryExpWkHosp.WkHosp, qryExpWkRent.WkRent, qryExpWkSup.WkSup, qryExpWkInt.WkInt, qryExpWkLife.WkLife, qryExpWkCouncil.WkCouncil, qryExpWkCar.WkCar, qryExpWkCar1.WkCar1, qryExpWkHp.WkHp, qryExpWkDep.WkDep, qryExpWkCont.WkCont, qryExpWkProp.WkProp, qryExpWkOther.WkOther, qryExpWkTel.WkTel, qryExpWkTv.WkTv, qryExpWkWater.WkWater, tblApplications.lngAppCon, tblApplications.bAppEleg, tblApplications.dtmAppGcSub
FROM qryExpWkWater RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkTv RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkTel RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkOther RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkProp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkInt RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkLife RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCouncil RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkDep RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCont RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCar1 RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCar RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkSup RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkRent RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkPrescrip RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHosp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHomeHelp RIGHT JOIN tblApplications ON qryExpWkHomeHelp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkHosp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkPrescrip.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkRent.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkSup.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCar.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCar1.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCont.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkDep.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkHp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCouncil.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkLife.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkInt.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkProp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkOther.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkTel.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkTv.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkWater.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp
WHERE (((tblApplications.bAppEleg)=Yes) AND ((tblApplications.dtmAppGcSub) Is Null));
Well maybe it is pretty horrific!
However it is taking nearly two minutes to load on a fast PC (3.4GHz Pentium 4 with 1Gb RAM) so put it on a basic desktop and it will die.
I did wonder about fragmenting it into four queries and then putting one query at the top of the nest but reckon that's another layer and all the calculations need to be done.
Basically the sub queries are calculating a weekly value based upon input and periodicity of payments - i.e. if quarterly then it divides the payment by 13.
Any thoughts on how I could speed it up?
Thanks in anticipation

BACKGROUND
The current challenge I have in MS Access in really giving me a headache. I can’t seem to find an answer or indeed think “outside the box” so I am hoping there is someone who can help.
Below I will outline the design of my database, the problem I have and my proposed solution. My solution is “What I want to do” rather than “How I do it”. If you have the time and patience to look at my problem and suggest how I proceed, I will be really grateful.
CURRENT DATABASE DESIGN
I created a database that imports daily telephone data. The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
I extract data from the phone system for “Lines” (3 digit code) e.g. ‘301’,’302’ which each have a corresponding line “Description” e.g. ‘New Customers’, ‘Accounts Queries’. There are three main daily extracts (1) Inbound Calls (2) Outbound Calls and (3) Time. Each extract has either “Line” or “Description” as the unique identifier but not both.
There are 50 lines with matching descriptions and each is allocated to one of 20 teams. I have a query which links all three extracts, groups the data by team and date. Therefore this query creates 20 records (teams) for each day (date).
CURRENT QUERY AND TABLES
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records)
Line
Description
Team
Tbl Inbound Calls
Line
Date
Offered Calls
Answered Calls
Abandoned Calls
Tbl Outbound Calls
Description
Date
Outgoing Calls
Tbl Time
Description
Date
Answer Time
Abandon Time
Talk Time
Wrap Up Time
Qry Grouped By Team Daily
Line – linked to line in Tbl Incoming Calls
Description – linked to description in both Tbl Outgoing Calls and Tbl Time
Team – Grouped field
Date – Grouped filed
Offered Calls - Sum
Answered Calls - Sum
Abandoned Calls - Sum
Outgoing Calls - Sum
Answer Time - Sum
Abandon Time - Sum
Talk Time - Sum
Wrap Up Time - Sum
PROBLEM
Customer Services “Team” is made up of six lines (301-306) and Business Partners “Team” is made up of three lines (307-309). For each day my query creates a record for each of these teams based on how the line is allocated in Tbl Line Lookup.
The business had decided that line 304 calls are part of the Business Partners with effect from 01/05/06. If I change the team name associated with 304 in Tbl Line Lookup this will, incorrectly, allocate all information (from 01/01/06 to present) to Business Partners.
I need a mechanism to allocate 304 to Customer Services prior to 30/04/06 and to Business Partners after 01/05/06.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
I want to introduce a new field in Tbl Line Lookup called Effective Date.
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records)
Line
Description
Team
Effective Date
Then I want to introduce a new query which links the data in the three data tables and allocates the correct team name by comparing the date in these extracts with the effective date in the Tbl Line Lookup.
I would then run my original query (Qry Grouped By Team Daily) over this query instead of the original tables.
Please can someone tell me if it is possible to look up values in another table to determine the value of a field in the way I have described?

Hi,
This is what i want to do:
Have a button on a form that when pressed opens a file browse, allows you to pick a text file (May contain different values and in future the structure may change slightly), then import the text file contents into a temp table (2 fields, Setting & Value), then run a query to take different values from the temp table and put them in to different fields in to different tables linked to the same main record where the button is, then save the record and all linked tables data, and then delete the temp table, and display a message box saying something like done.
Each import file will be a single record, but has to many fields to be in one table
I also need to extract only part of Field 1 (Sample Below), the part after the = (150 in below)
0x6A,0x10,0x12 = 150
Thanks
Dan

trying to join two tables but get message
"relationship must be on the same number of fields with the same data types"
data types are same, numbers.
Primary table has just jobnoID that are all unique (primary table)
ie 6907, 6908, 6909 etc
second table "jobs by order" (secondary table)
has
unique orderno(order numbers) in column one say 69071 and 69072, 69073
and jobno in second coloumn say 6907, 6907, 6907 for all the above.
trying to link JobnoID primary table (one to many) to Jobno secondary table (many)
Also need to note. This database is a purchase order database. so am trying to load in all past data from excel. data is in already. so primary table above with jobno is an auto number so will generate the new jobno for us. but had to copy and paste blank fields into table to get records upto the number we are upto now, ie job number 7112. I have only put data in secondary table for
jobno's 6885 through to 7112, and even some of these have blank spaces.
Any ideas?
Also how do i do a screen capture and dump in here so you can see relationships etc, which would be a whole lot easier to explain. thanks heaps

I am building a database for a Real Estate business.
I have 2 tables tblPurchasers and tblVendors.
I intend to write a query that will match the requirements of the purchasers to the properties for sales (from the vendors).
My issue is this (best illustrated via an example);
I run my Query on the 1st April and four properties are produced as being suitable for purchaser 'A'.
Purchaser 'A' immediately deems properties 1 and 2 unsuitable and views property 3 on the 6th April. Property 3 is subsequently deemed unsuitable as well.
I re-run my qury on the 10th April and five properties are produced as now being suitable for purchaser 'A'.
Purchaser 'A' has already dismissed properties 1,2 and 3 so i don't want to show him these again ....... how do I just ensure that properties 4 and 5 appear ?
Purchaser 'A' has already dismissed properties 1,2 and 3 so I don't want to show him these again ....... how do I just ensure that properties 4 and 5 appear ?
Something involving a yes/no box on a form would be the best method for me of implementing this (as it would fit in with the scematic of the database to date).
I imagine the properties (with a small photo) appearing and tick boxes headed 'Unsuitable', 'Viewed' etc be used to dismiss properties, which do then not re-appear.
MANY THANKS !

Detailed search cannot answer my time problem. Returning after long break in programming, I am trying to create a form to display TimeIn and TimeOut fields such that actioning an OnClick command (or separate tick-box), TimeIn field will hold current time for that record. Need to set the same for a TimeOut field. Both cases time always to be < 24 hours.
Am so rusty on MS Access putting default value as =now() produces an error!!
Any basic help to wind up the old mind always appreciated.

Hi:
I try to get the value in a real time. There are two subforms inside a mainform. First user enters value into mainform. Than comes to subform1. And after that on the basis of a choice in subform1, the 2nd subform is open. In 2nd subform i create a listbox with that query.
SELECT [tbl_Events].[PPVVOD_Outlet] FROM tbl_Events WHERE [tbl_Events].[ticketnum]=[Forms]![tbl_PPVResearch]![ticketnum];
But it shows empty. [tbl_Events].[PPVVOD_Outlet] is a subform1

History:
MS Access 2003
Database up and running over 5 years
Compact and repair daily
250 end users
Security screen with log on to database
Problem:
User signs on and everything runs smooth, then all of sudden can’t access some reports or forms. I call our IT people, usual fix is resetting the profiles. Now sometimes this works and sometimes it does not work. This problem just started a few weeks ago. I try to isolate the problem. I sign on his computer and have no problem. I have the user that is having the problem to sign on another computer same thing, he has problems. So to me it’s the user profiles right?. The IT people think it’s the database. I have tried about everything I can think of, but still have the problem. Also all the other users are up and running fine.
Now the only thing that I can say is, that we are getting up dates from Microsoft on a daily bases now. Our IT people would run them at night instead of during day. Do you think that could do anything to the database? I have spoken to them and they mention its security updates.
Can you give me any other direction that I can go? We are going to have a big pow wow meeting next week, I’ am trying to have something that I can go on.

Hi there,
Is it possible to control a lighting system from Access using a combination of VBA code or Active X add ons with some specialist hardware and cabling attached to the PC, etc ?
To be more specific, I've designed a Snooker Hall Management program and want to be able to turn the lights on over the Snooker table when you start a game in an Access form...My application has 8 tables but could be expanded obviously.
I'm happy with the Access side of things (first attempt at a real world solution, etc) but to be totally polished a hardware interface to control the lights would really create a 'wow' factor...
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated :)

Greetings!
Hoping somone could help me here.
I am trying to create a database (duh!). At the moment, I have two tables. One table is a small timetable with the fields:
Day, Airline, Flight Number, Time, Origin, Destination, Aircraft
The other table (Delay) has the following fields:
Date, Day, Airline, Flight Number, Time, Origin, Destination, Delayed by.
I would like to do the following. In Delay I put in the date: 01/07/2005, fine. The Day (field format Date/Time dddd) is also 01/07/2005 which Access transofrms into the word "Friday". Airilne is BA. In Flight Numbers, I want the database to do a query on "TIMETABLE" to search all flights that operate on a Friday as some do not operate daily. (By the way in the 'Day' column of Timetable the values are "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday" or "Monday Thursday Saturday" depending on the flight). This query/lookup should be performed right after I type 01/07/2005 in the "day" field of "Table: Delay". A lookup combo box should be displayed when I arrive at the field FLight Number. I select a flight (e.g.: BA001) and automatically the Time, Origin and Destination of the flight should appear in the "Table: Delay".
I have been unsuccessful at even getting past the first hurdle. I tried a query of the "Table: Timetable" and fields "Day" and "Flight Number". The Criteria I do not know what to put in. "Like [Delay]![Day]" or "[Delay]![Day]" does not help and brings up nothing. However, "Like *Monday*" does bring up all the flights which operate on a Monday. However isn't there some way of telling the query to automatically occur after I type in the relevant day in the "Delay" table? Futhermore I would like to avoid (but not totally exclude if it's impossible) macros as eventually I hope to publish this to SQL or whatever.
Cheers in advance.

The queries go like this at present :
SELECT TOP 1 [Table].[QuestionText], [Table].[Answer] AS CorrectAnswer
FROM [Table]
GROUP BY [Table].[QuestionText], [Table].[Answer], rnd([IDQuestion])
ORDER BY rnd([IDQuestion]);
SELECT TOP 3 Table.Answer AS Correct, qQuestionTextAndAnswer.QuestionText, qQuestionTextAndAnswer.CorrectAnswer
FROM [Table], qQuestionTextAndAnswer
WHERE (((Table.Answer)<>[qQuestionTextAndAnswer].[CorrectAnswer]))
ORDER BY Rnd([IDQuestion]);
These queries are displayed now in an Access form "frmQuestions" which is applied to "Table" that has three columns id, text , and answer. The result is one question and four suggested answer with one only being correct.The arrangement of the answers is randomized--
but the choice of the question is not realy random....it always starts with the same question as it relies only on rnd.
can I improve the queries and randomize and rnd in the same ...or else can I switch these queries to be used from vb6 code and achieve that result.
any help would be appreciated.
By the way I am really a beginner at this who is seeking help from the experts.
