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?
I have a MS Access 2000 database application stored on a Novell Network server and being shared more than 20 users. However, occasionally, different users, who want to open it in the morning have the error message The database 'Name' is read-only. Therefore, those users can NOT run any action or procedure queries/reports. To resolve, we have to disconnect all the current users, who previously open the database, then everybody can open WITHOUT the "read-only" error!!??
Please advise any permanent solution to avoid the "read-only" issue without disconnect all the users who already open the database?
i would like to have on my continuous subform fields from my table but only as a non-editable list (I have a dedicated mod form to actually modify the values), and I don't really like the way "Locked" and/or "Enabled" work, especially on combo boxes. To me, the arrow shouldn't be there: it looks like you can modify it, but you can't; it's a bit confusing and counter intuitive.
So what I did is replace those combo boxes with text boxes, and used DLookUp in the Control Source. Now I can lock and disable the text boxes and it looks just as I want it: you can't select the text, and most importantly there's no dropdown arrow.It works, but it's kind of a lot of work compared to what it is with the cbo. Also, since those are calculated values, they take a fraction of a second to appear, as opposed to the nearly instantaneous display of the values with the cbo, and there's only 5 entries in my test database.
I'm having trouble with my database (Access 2000). I'm trying to export a file into a text file by clicking on a button. Below is the code. Where the code is in bold that is when the runtime error happens.
If i export the code manually by right click on the query > Export then this works, but for some reason by clicking on the button will not work.
Private Sub cmdExport_Click() Dim sExportFilePath As String sExportFilePath = DLookup("[DateExportLocation]", "tblSettings", "[ID]=1") ' Path if file to be exported DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpDateTransmissionDateAndTime", acViewNormal, acEdit ' Update dates time DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "ExportFile", "qryExportFile", sExportFilePath End Sub
I create a front end and back end that resides on the lan. Front has everything besides the table which resides on the back end. Front ends table are linked to the backend. I have two computer that i am testing it on. Both of them runs Access 2003 runtime and windows has been update to the latest version, both xp machine aswell.Both has user right to read and write to that directory on the lan. Ldr exist when either of them uses access file. The strange thing is when i run a command to copy some data from one table to another one. one of the machine give me the following error "3027 Cannot Update. database or object is read only". While on the other machine it runs flawless. Another weird thing is if i modified some values in table by using forms it works great on both so i am a bit clueless where the problems is. its seems my problem is copying from one table to another. i dont have problem modyfing one table. Here is the code i use to that halt my ms access database.
Dim dbs As Database, rsProposal As Recordset, TES As String, stdocname As String, stLinkCriteria As String
TES = Me![TESID]
If TES = DLookup("TESID", "Proposals", "TESID =" & "'" & TES & "'") Then MsgBox "Proposal Already Exists for TES ID: " & vbCrLf & _ " " & TES, vbOKOnly, "Proposal Already Exists" GoTo Image264_Click_Exit Else If MsgBox("Do You Really Want to Create" & vbCrLf & "a New Proposal for TES ID " & vbCrLf & " " & TES & " ?", 289, "Create New Proposal?") = vbOK Then Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rsProposal = dbs.OpenRecordset("Proposals") With rsProposal .AddNew ![Long_Desc] = Me![Description] ![Short_Desc] = Me![Opportunity] ![Dest_Site] = Me![Install Site] ![TESID] = Me![TESID] ![End_User] = Me![Contractor/Purchaser Name] ![Date_Due] = Me![Proposal Due Date] ![Date_Completed] = Me![Close Date] ![Status] = Me![Status] .Update .Close Set rsProposal = Nothing dbs.Close Set dbs = Nothing End With stLinkCriteria = "[TESID] = " & "'" & TES & "'" stdocname = "Form Prop - Detail" DoCmd.OpenForm stdocname, , , stLinkCriteria DoCmd.Close acForm, "Form TES - Detail" End If End If
I routinely export queries etc from my development database to the 'live' master database used by users. Every so often I get the error message 'The database Mydatabase.accdb is read only'. Then I can't export anything to it. I don't know why it should suddenly become read only. How do I make the database changeable, and not read only?
I'm having an issue with the database being read only and a type mismatch due to OpenRecordset. I know this database use to work when it when it was just
CurrentSerNum = RecSet(0) +1 was doing the incrementing.
I need the database to increment in a different way now.
Q=manufacture location 1st number is new=0 or used=1 2nd and third number =82 4th is single digit year aka 2015 = 5 6 and 7th are work week aka 25 for this week 8,9,10 are incremental numbers for the units made that workweek, so 001,002,003. Then week 26 starts the increment starts back at 001.
Code: Private Sub MakeThoseProducts_Click() On Error GoTo Err_MakeThoseProducts_Click Dim NumericSerial As Double Dim WorkWeek As String Dim WorkYear As String Dim WorkWeekNumber As Integer Dim WorkYearNumber As Integer Dim Location As String
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.
I have a brand new database in-the-works that is causing me headaches. For some reason, if I create a query and then exit and re-enter the database, I cannot re-open that query. I get an Error 3112 (cannot be read; no read permission on <name>) and to contact the administrator or creater of the database.
I'M the creator and the administrator on this thing - so why can't I get into the darn thing? I haven't added any security features. This has never happened before on any database I've created, so obviously, it's frustrating.
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 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 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.
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..
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
I have a form, Salesperson, that has a subform Salesperson_SalesGraph. The SalesGraph subform is a pivot chart.
I'm having problems with trying to access items on the subform. The weirdest part is that it seems to work if i call the event from form_open, but doesn't work if i move the code to form_current. This won't work for me, as i need the function called whenever i change rows.
The error received is: You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Form/Report.
First I had the code on the main form, accessing the chart object on the subform but was getting errors that i couldn't access the form property in the assignment, Set objChartSpace = Me.salesperson_salesgraph.Form.ChartSpace (i tried a number of differnet ways, with !'s, with Forms("SalesPerson_SalesGraph), etc.
Then i moved the code to the subform and now i'm just trying to call the publically declared sub with the line:
Forms!Salesperson!Salesperson_SalesGraph.UpdateLeg end or Me.Salesperson_SalesGraph.Form.UpdateLegend
The subform has a sub declared as: Public Sub UpdateLegend()
I have a simple database. an articles table, authors table, categories table, not much else.
So one article can have many categories. To manage this, I have my 'articles' table (pk autonumber ID, plus other fields), a 'categories' table (pk autonumber ID, txt description), and I created a linking table 'article categories' autonumber ID, number articles (related to article ID in article table) and number categories (related to category ID in categories table)
Then I made a form for articles, with a subform for categories (taking the category field from the categories table).
1st problem - the category field in the subform appears as a text box, not a drop down list of category descriptions. I deleted it and added manually a combo box with the category field from the categories table as control source, telling it to store the value in the field 'category' in the 'article categories' linking table. This gives me the drop down list.
2nd problem - I select one category in the subform, when I try to select a second, it tells me "The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
I checked the fields in the 'article categories' table and they are not set to 'no duplicates'.
The strange thing seems that I can enter this ok in the table, just not the subform.
I know this problem has already been discussed here, but I could not find an answer to my case in the previous posts, so I apologise if this is repetitive.
I think this is simple but I am a novice...
I tried to attach the database to this - both normal and then zipped but it says 'invalid file' (it is only 1mb).
Basically what I am doing is duplicating a split form. I am not using a split form because I want to be able to have better control over the bottom half, and I am giving the end user a slightly different view of the same information in the bottom pane.
I've created a form with a subform. When the user moves through the records in the subform, I want the parent form to navigate with it. Note the parent child relationship does not apply here.
I've almost got it working fine, but there is a bug. It seems to originate when the user clicks on the subform ID field while the cursor is the cross, like the Excel fill symbol. Now if the focus is on the subform where ID=2, when the user moves to the parent, the parent navigates away from the record for some reason.
I've noticed that the GotFocus event is firing multiple times, and some of the events are nested. I've tried to set a flag to prevent the nested events from firing, but the bug persists.
