Suddenly, Subform Flips Me Off
Dec 24, 2004
this never used to be an issue, but all of the sudden it just started happening.
Setup:
frmCustomers (data: tblCustomers) is linked to sfrmJobs (data: tblJobs) via CustomerID (autonumber). Depending on their [Status] in frmCustomers (dropdown, either "Customer", "Lead", "Lead-to-customer" or null), a customer may or may not have a job in tblJobs (or may have more than one).
Issue:
When scrolling through my list of customers , after passing by a "Lead" (or if i just select a "Lead" to begin with), who cannot and does not have a job, the subform does not show any jobs from that point on for people who do have jobs. Also when I create a new job and then attempt to insert data, it tells me that I have an invalid use of null, which is weird because the only field that needs to exist is the customerID, and that's created automatically.
Diagnosis:
I think it has something to do with the CustomerID not functioning correctly, which i don't understand at all, or somehow not getting passed to the subform. i've entered plenty of new customers into the program without an issue, and i used to be able to scroll through all of them and have all of them show up all the time. Additionally, even after i clicked away all the "index or primary key cannot contain a null value" errors, it still gave me a CustomerID, but after I created a job (again, "index or pk blah blah") for a customer, i looked at the table and it showed that the JobID (primary key of tblJobs, is not autonumber) was recorded, but not the customerID.
Cry For Help:
Please help me! I discovered this bug almost 5 minutes after publicly deploying my program to my client's company, and if he finds it before i can fix it, i'm toast. please please help!
Thanks to all in advance!

We have an access db that has been working fine for ages and now when we click on a New Record button we are getting the following error:-
Run time error 2105 - you can't go to the specified record. erroring out on the line DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec. We are not aware of anything changing on the PC that the db is sitting on. I have spent the whole day searching the web but have found nothing helpful.
I have compacted and repaired the db, even went to the form/table security to see if all users can edd/add.
Any help greatfully received

What would cause Access to suddenly close without warning while busy with a query?
No error messages, nothing! The query is a fairly big one that normally takes about 6 minutes to run, but has had no problem with it for a number of years. A new drive used for back-up purposes was recently fitted to my PC which now has 3 internal hard drives.
Could this problem be caused by a bad memory handling configuration? The original setup that worked before may have been changed when the new drive was installed. The XP Page File size for example may have been changed.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have a database running for the last 6 or so years (A97) and have the ctl-shift disable enable code in it to stop people tinkering about with it.
The database was aparently working fine yesterday and today it's decided to be read-only so no-one can update the data.
It's on a server - all permissions ok and not read-only.
I can't get the disable/enable code to work either. So basically, it's locked for any development changes and it's locked for any data changes.
The IT boys are going to take a backup from the tapes of the server and re-install it, so it should be ok, but I've never had this happen before and the database is used daily for the last 6 years with no problems.
Any speculative thoughts?
[edit] I have done a search and couldn't find anything that fitted the situation
Thanks

Hi,
I have a graph which uses the value of two combo boxes for beginning and end parameters. In order to work, the datevalue() function is used.
When i design the rowsource, it works. But when I exit Access and open it again, it doesn´t. Then the rowsource is either wrong or too complex.
What is going on?
Fuga.

Recently Access has started to suddenly close. Usually when I have been developing although I do not appreas to have lost anything as I Save, Save, Save all the time. Last week I had a report that a live access 2000 is doing the same thing. Users are in the middle of entering data and suddenly the database is gone, with no messages. They can re-open the database and continue.
Anyone else experiencing this problem with Access 2000?

Hi,
An Access database table I'm looking at has a date column, where date is entered in UK format (dd/mm/yyyy). However, upon entering the database, the date is somehow converted into US format, despite me passing the date into the table as dd/mm/yyyy.
The trouble started when someone else worked on the database - leaving us now with all of the old records in UK format (correct) but all new entries to that column in US format.
Please note, when I open the Access table, all of the dates for the past 2 years or so are fine (dd/mm/yyyy) but recently, since someone else worked on the file, the new records are appearing as mm/dd/yyyy. Within the same table column we're getting apparently mixed formats.
I'm aware of using session.lcid=2057, but would prefer just to be able to have the dates appear in the right format in the database itself rather than having to use this (I'm concerned if I use lcid, it might balls up the older, correct records in the table).
How can this have suddenly changed, and more importantly, how can I get the records into the table in UK format?
Thanks very much for your help...

I have a form that worked when I left work Tuesday. It is supposed to look at all the information in my "courses" table in descending order by year, ascending order by date, in edit mode. There is also a look-up list that allows me to select the date of the course and jump to that record.
I came in today and it doesn't work! The form LOOKS like it's in add mode--completely empty. the data is still in the table. I checked all the properties and they all look right. The query still looks like it did when I left. It just quit! When I use the look-up list the dates appear in the list, but nothing happens when I select it.
I know I'm not giving you much to go on, but any ideas?

I have written a very simple query which get's it's criteria from a form I also created, which couldn't be any simpler itself. The form simply has a text box that I enter a value into, in this case, the date in a specific format "20041019". The query then pulls all records according to the form value. This query has always worked fine for weeks now. Today, suddenly it would not return any records. If I go into the SQL and manually enter "20041019" it will pull the appropriate records. It will NOT function when relying on the form value though. This has happened to me in the past, of course I did not document what I did to overcome the obstacle though. I have tried matchign the formats of the field in the table to the text box in the form so that they are both general numbers with 0 decimal places, originally they were both text format and it worked. I can't seem to figure out why this would happen. If anyone has any suggestions, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tre

I've been developing a new db and have been adding buttons to forms all along without any issue.
I would create a button and under the event tab in the properties sheet all the buttons used to indicate "On Click" would produce an [Event Procedure]. Suddenly the "On Click" now indicates an [Embedded Macro] is going to run, which is not what I really want to have happen......

I have a query screen which worked. It has a header and some details. Now only the header shows up. No detail is visible. I look at the design all these fields are visible, but in reality they are not.

I have a form that I have opening in Filter by Form mode. It WAS working flawlessly, at least it was opening in that mode. It IS still requiring me to click on Toggle Fields once data is entered into controls to filter by, but that's another issue (I wrote a recent comment, but haven't gotten any response). Something different is happening suddenly that wasn't happening before. This form is a copy of a form needed to enter data.
Both forms read from a table which has several required fields. Suddenly, when I open the form to find records in ANY mode it's making me enter something into these required fields, even though I'm not searching/filtering by them. The message comes up "You must enter a value in the [Specific Required Field name here] Field." What did I do to make this start happening? How do I stop it? I DO want something to need to be entered in the required fields when new records are being entered and when things are being changed. However, I don't want it to be required during search processes.

This application has worked fine in the past, but now I find it stops cold saying a particular linked table is read-only. I've looked around and all I can find in the various forums is how to MAKE a table read-only. Reversing that process seems very difficult.
The application is a copy of another that now exhibits the same problem. Each uses a different data mdb - part of the development I'm doing involves changing a different table. I'm developing changes to the application in this separate copy.
I can't tell if other tables would have this problem - the table in question is the very first used (initialization routine) and I can't get past it without deactivating a bunch of code.

The above image is of a table which I need to update according to a new data on daily basis. As you can see when I added two records at the last , the AutoNumber primary key of the table jumped by thousands . I have used the following query to update the table
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC)"_ & "SELECT Ctpy_Entity_Id,Ctpy_Entity_Legal_Nm"_ & "FROM NewCU LEFT JOIN D_Counterparty ON D_Counterparty.CPTY_ENTITY_ID=NewCU.Ctpy_Entity_Id"
I never changed the AutoNumber from incremental to random and I have also tried re-seeding it but had no success. Also when I inserted the sample values using a sample table ,the AutoNumber was working fine . Here's that query
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC,) SELECT a,b, FROM sample"
I did not use join in this query ...

Hello,
I have an Access database that for some reason just converted to "read-only". I used to be able to open the database and do whatever, now it says it is read only. I have checked the permissions for both the database itself and the folder it is in and they both do not have "read-only" selected. What I really don't understand is if I use my application that uses the database (written in ColdFusion) I get the error - must use an updateable query. BUT if I continue to hit refresh, then it'll work! So it's like it works sometimes, but not all the time - as if it's switching back and forth between read-only and not read-only. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!!

I have a database on a network which has no security setup; everyone who has rights to its directory has full rights to the application. From time to time, it becomes "Read Only" and no one can do anything that requires writing to the local tables (the back end database is "Read Only" for everyone.) Checking the database properties shows the database as not being "Read Only" and changing it to read only and back again does nothing.
So far, the only way I have been able to solve this problem is to replace the "Read Only" database with a backup copy that is not "Read Only".
What could be happening here?

I have a form, a couple of comboboxes and text boxes on it. When these are filled out, the SQL of a query is changed using these parameters.
There are three subforms on the form, all pivot charts, all based on the query being changed.
The goal would be to update all three according to the user-given parameters.
Right now the subforms only update if I close and open the form, which is probably not the best solution, since it's too slow.
I've also tried to requery and refresh them, with no result.
Then I tried to overwrite the recordsource of the subforms with the same text that was originally there. This got them to refresh their data, but then all of the charts disappeared and had to be built again, so this is a no go too.

I have two subforms on a main form. Both use similar queries and nearly the same set of records and PK. The first subform is for data entry and the 2nd subform is a continuous form that lists the entries in order that are made from the 1st Subform. (for entering in vacation days and appointments)
The continuous form cannot be edited, it is to be a list for viewing the information only.
I have an edit button next to each record on the continuous form. When the button is clicked, I want it to take the 1st subform to that specific record as well (same PK), so the information can be edited there.
I cannot figure out how to get the 1st subform to go to the record on the continuous form when the button next to that record is clicked on the continuous form.
I tried the DoCmdSearch for record and just keep getting object is not open errors.

2 Subform problems
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1:
The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Me.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Form.RecordSource.Requery
'DoCmd.Requery ([fsubPrjCommentsUsers])
'DoCmd.Requery [fsubPrjCommentsUsers]
ExitHere:
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & Chr(13) _
& Chr(13) & "Error in fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry: Err 003"
Resume ExitHere
End Sub
Any Ideas?
Both problems have me stumped so I'll be grateful to anybody with a scoobie on this.:)

im having problems getting a subform to calculate another subform's total and display it as it keeps coming up with the #NAME?.Basically my database is like this
tblCustomer
- tblOrders
- tblItems
and this is displayed on a form. so you can flick through clients, then flick through the orders and its broken down into the items inside each order.i have seen many answers that are only about calculating something on a subform and displaying on a form but this does not work when displaying on a 'parent' subform. the form structure looks like this
frmCustomers
- sFrmCustomerItems
- sFrmCustomerOrders
i have a calculated control textbox in the footer of sFrmCustomerOrders with sums up all the prices using =sum([Price])and in my sFrmCustomerItems, i have a field called Amount (the total amount of all the items) and the Control Source formula i was using was =[Forms]![sFrmCustomerOrders]![sFrmCustomerItems]![txtTotalPrice] but i get a #NAME? error.

I didn't know that Access is supposed to only have 2 subform deep. On my form, I have three subform deep. However, the master form is unbound, not linked to subforms, and nothing more than a container for tab pages which contains their own subforms and has no code directly associated with data. There is a code to move subform to new record when tabs changes, but that's all.
Does that mean there is really only two subforms deep from the topmost form on the tab page or the subform depth has been exceeded whether the master form has no role in data transaction?

I almost have this form done.
I have a form with a combo box, and 2 subforms from it. When you select in the combo box (Group), it brings up the choices (Sections) for that group in a subform. Then there is another subform, that is supposed to bring up a series of questions that are related to the section that has been selected. The question field has a drop down to a list table, that has all the questions. Once the question has been selected, it stores in a Master table. The relationship is there. If you try to select any questions that do not pertain to the section, it gives you an error message.
What I need it to do, is when the section is selected, filter out the questions that pertain to that section, and have those questions be the only ones available in the drop-down list to choose.
I know that I need to have an After Update code once the section has been selected, but not sure how the coding should be.
I hope that someone can help with this!
