I have a bound form with a bound subform which is in continuous or datasheet view. I have been experiencing a strange problem of late. After i complete the first record of the subform and then move on to the second record , sometimes i get strange messages like :-
1) The Microsoft Jet Database Engine Stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the data at the same time.
2) Invalid Argument
3) Unrecognised database format c:windows empjet(something).tmp
4) Not a valid bookmark
These errors once they appear wont go away even if you try to ignore them. they just keep coming and each of the columns has an "#error# written in it. you have to close the module and start again. Whats more if you enter exactly the same data again, they do not show up again i.e. random errors. and it happens only when you complete the first record.
To clarify, these errors appear even in a single user environment. i do not change the recordsource or link fields properties at run time for the subform or mainform.
is there anything i have overlooked in form design / code ? Please help me out.
I was going to create a new query with the simple query wizard, but as soon as selected a data source I got a message saying "The expression on Got Focus you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: The text you entered isn't an item in the list."
After this I can select a datasource, but the cursor remains in hourglass mode. It almost seems like this is a run-time error, when I am merely trying to create a new query. In addition to which, I haven't set any events to run on "got focus". Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and how it can be fixed?
When I recently opened a Db I had been working on I received the attached Msg. The path to the Db is C:Database ProjectsAEMSWarranties and Sales.mdb Once OK is pressed the Db works fine.
I created a new Db and imported all objects, but no change.
I work in an environment with 7 computers networked to the same database. Until last week the database worked fine on all computers.
One computer was wiped clean and reinstalled with XP pro sp2 with all updates, office XP with all updates and also every other programs needed etc etc...
Now the database that every one uses will open up but will crash when the date filter is used in any form/report/query... This is the only computer this happens on and the error sometimes comes back with the following number 2147418113 but is intermittent. I dont think it is anything in the VB as it works totally on every other computer and worked fine on this one until reinstall of everything...
any thoughts anyone??...or has anyone ever heard of this??
I have a database that keeps track of street light inspections.
There is a form with inspection info and a subform with any faults found - Works Fine
There is a report with the same information - Works Fine'ish
The report allways used to work fine but for no apparent reason it previews fine but when printing I get the following message and the subreport information does not print (although if I open the sub report seperately it prints fine).
'This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables.'
I am banging my head against the wall with this one. It used to print fine and I have made no changes, apart from data. Have tried compact/repair to no avail.
Could someone please point me in the right direction, my head is hurting...
I need help, please. It's very strange error, when i open this following page after 10th of every month it runs perfect. but if i run this on 01-10th of month then it give error '80020009', seems like null value error.
Everything we peachy-keen with my database until I split it and I get the following error:
"The expression On Menu you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: User-defined type not defined."
Please help as I'm not sure how to proceed. Here are some facts:
1. I'm a noobie with Access. I've been clever and resourceful enough to figure out most answers to my questions, but searching for this one have turned up bare.
2. There was a single custom Toolbox present before splitting the database. On the Import, though, I used the option to import toolboxes/menuboxes (checkmark at the bottom on the Import page).
3. I've checked for missing/broken References, there are none being reported.
4. The 'On Menu' event exists nowhere to my knowledge! Where can I find it and hopefully troubleshoot the problem?
Your imput welcome, I'm defeated for now, but am continuing the search for an answer. Please help ;)
Hello. I just split my Access 2000 database and receive the following Run-time error (#3251): Current provider does not support the necessary interface for Index functionality. This error occurs on the following line of code: tablename.Index = "PrimaryKey"
Does anyone know why this occured after I split the database and what exactly it means?
I'm working in Access 2000 for the first time and all was well until I introduced a wizard-created Switchboard. I created the Order Entry database using the Access wizard and copied the Switchboard form and tables into my database.
Since then I keep getting the following message:
"Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost."
I've Compacted and Repaired but still keep getting the message. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on?
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.
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?
I want to insert an update-button in my form (see attachment). When i use the Access-guide it inserts the following line into the buttons onClick-code:
hi guys i was wondering if you can help me this is my code: i have a main form with this code, this form contains a subform linked by the All_PricingID
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblAll_Pricing") 'main table ' adding data to the table rst.AddNew ' Main table rst!All_PricingID = Me.txtPricingID 'Main table pk rst!MainContract_ID = Me.cmbMainContract 'combo box in parent form rst!ItemNumber = Me.txtItem 'Main form text rst.Update
'sub Table Set rst2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblPricing") 'sub table For varItem = 0 To Me.lstsubContracts.ListCount - 1 'this is a list in the main form '--- loop through all the items in the list box and create a new row in the subform for each subcontract in the listbox lstSubcontracts. rst2.AddNew rst2!ID = Me.All_PricingID 'sub table foreign key rst2!SubContractID = Me.lstsubContracts.Column(0, varItem) 'sub table rst2.Update Next varItem '--- close the tables rst.Close rst2.Close Set rst = Nothing Set rst2 = Nothing
the subform appears correctly with the rows i wanted added but i need the user to be able to edit a column in the subform for the rows just created (my form is on datasheet view). but everytime i move to cursor into the subform, i can't even scroll up and down.
i keep getting an error that says :
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. (Error 3022)
but when i check my tables tblAll_Pricing and tblPricing , everything is inserted correctly according to my recorset above, do you know why this is happening? and why i am not able to edit my subform. my subform allowsedits and additions.
We have a form in our application(developed in Access 2003) with numerous tabs in it. On click of each tab a subform is displayed with relevant details.
Each of the subform is mapped to a table in turn. When the subform is opened it shows the all the values of the table. But when the form is opened (in Access 2007), it shows only one record in the subform.
The application works fine in MS Access 2003 showing all the records in the subform.
i have a form which has a sub-form on it. each one is bound to a different table. the main form has a one to many relationship with the subform, but every time i try to add a new record to the subform i get an error say that you cant insert a duplicate foreign key.
not sure how to solve that as sql enterprise manager and access do seem to have the option to allow duplicates on the foreign key coloum.
I have a subform which opens good with Access 2003 but now that I updated to Access 2007, it won't open. It gives me a "type mismatch in expression" error. Why does this happen??
Hi, i have a form which shows stock levels. It works by the user entering a value and pressing search, then one query returns the data on the product from the stock table (so that it can be edited), and another query returns a "total of how many have been sold" in the form of [sumofunitquantity]. by subtracting the number sold on the one subform from the number bought in on another, i get the number in stock.
my problem is, because of the way this system works, if the item has been bought in but none sold, it returns an #error in the [in stock] field because the return on the [sumofunitquantity] is null.
when the query is run in this situation, the product information is shown along with the number bought in, but the field for the number sold remains invisible on the form, so the calculation cannot be completed.
i have tried using a code such as this: Private Sub Combo63_Change() If IsNull([frm_stocksubsub].Form![SumOfUnitQuantity]) = "" Then [frm_stocksub].Form![Text23] = 0 Else [frm_stocksub].Form![Text23] = ([frm_stocksub].Form![StockBoughtIn] - [frm_stocksubsub].Form![SumOfUnitQuantity]) End If End Sub
but with no success. basically i want it so that if there is a null value in no. sold, the stock value is 0.
I have a subform inside a Form. When I'm trying to upadate the subfrom from an event triggered by a control in Form I get the error message that subform is not opened.Why is that? I've tried commands MoveTo or Select (subform) before update command in order to force update command to understand that subform is opened but without any result. I guess is a common problem but I can't find the solution. :(
I have a form with two sub forms and when I enter data into one of my subforms I get this error?
A Problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
Close the OLE server and restart it outside of Microsoft Access. Then try the original operation again in Microsoft Access.
I've checked the relationship and linked child / master fields and it looks ok. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I am getting this error on a couple of different PC's running WinNT4 and Win2000.
Shutting down doesn't help and I don't get this with other databases. When I open the form (subform2) on its own I can enter data, just not when it's part of the main form?
Hi all, I have a form with a button on it, that when clicked it will open a subform on the same form. But, when I clicked this button, it gave me this error message:
The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while [Database Name] was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control
For more details on this error message, see the attached file.
Well, I've got a multiple stage form structure. Data tables, in case it matters.
The two stages that we're interested in right now, let's call them Stage1 and Stage2. Anyway, Stage1 is controlled by a query (Query1) of a table (Table1). And Stage2 used the be the subtable of the Table1. It didn't work, with the same error.
"This property is read-only and can't be set." is what I see if I try to enter data into Stage2. I can enter data, but none of it is saved. The data entered into Stage1 -> (Query1 -> Table1) works perfectly.
Just for the record, Table 1 and Subtable are related, with referential integrity. How do I fix this?
Could someone please help me trouble shoot this error:
"The Link MasterFields property setting has produced this error:'A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE Server or Active X Control'
I get the error when I try and select an item from a drop down list in a combo box on a subform that is linked to another form. The list is coming from a separate table.
When running the subform without opening the parent form I can choose from the combo box and do not get the error.
I have a control called TotalPaid in a subform Footer section that sums up payment Amounts in the Details section. TotalPaid's control source is simply =SUM([Amount]).
That's it. Nothing tricky, I'm not summing up calculated controls or anything...
PROBLEM: TotalPaid frequently displays "#Error".
I can determine absolutely no reason for this. It is inconsistent, and is not specific to any certain subform records or mainform records. If I go to the next mainform record and then go back, the #Error will often disappear, to be replaced by the apprpriate SUM value.
Is this an Access 2000 bug?? I need to know what causes this and what I can do about, since the value in TotalPaid is VERY important to many of my other calculations. When it gives an #Error, my whole app becomes worthless.
I have a form that have a calculated field which generate a series of numbers. Correct and usuable numbers. Now, all I want to do this is to total (Sum)that numbers up at the Form Footer.. I have a Text Box control on the form footer for this. And formula on the Text box control is this.. =Sum ([Dhrs]*[Davg]). I got error everywhere on my form when I open the form..I have been trying using NZ Sum etc..
I have done some forms and it is the first time that i had this problem: I can input data in several records without having any problem but when i close and save the form and next time i open it ,i do not find my previous records. I checked this in the tables and find that the values that i had input were there but in my form these values had disappeared. Can anyone explai this ..
Also,
Suppose i have 2 tables with NAME set as the primary key and which is linked 1-1. When i create a form for these 2 tables and when i write JO in the name field only once the name JO should automatically be inserted in the other name field i.e i should be able to input only one data. This is not the case. What i should do is : write JO then click in the other NAME field then type something e.g RO then this will be typed auto. in the other Field. Can you also explain this
I have a form with a tab control and each tab has a subform on it. 3 of these tabs/sub forms are continuous forms that allow the user to enter details for the selected job (i.e. on tab has a subform that allows the user to enter various scheduling dates for the job).
If I say have the scheduling tab selected and then change a field in the MAIN form, then click on the new record row in my continuous subform my main form jumps to the first record. However, if I update a field in the main form, select a different tab, then click on the new record row in my subform it works fine. Also, if I click the add record button it works fine as well.
I can't seem to find anything in my code that would cause the jump. Any ideas?
Hey guy im kinda new to this program so excuse me if my question is simplistic:I built a form for making Purchase orders. In the main form...a user enters a bunch of text/num info (name, address, ect)into the table. After that i have it tab to a subform..where a user can add items by line (as many as they like). All good till here: Once i go to click out of the subform...i get message "You cannot add or change a record b/c a related record is required in table 'UCT_Req'"My relationship has a 'one-to-many' link (the req number to the many line items). I have auto-numbers counting up in each table.My main problem seems to be attaching the entered line items to a specific record in the main Purchase order form...and then opening a fresh form afterwards. Any hints?Thanks folksSTeve
