Multiple Copies Of The Form
Jul 17, 2006Hi,
I finished a db for a client to help her keep track of the classes she teaches, her students and other related info. The db has several tables and one main form with subforms. I read that it was a good rule of thumb to design the fewest posible forms to make the navigation centrilized and so I did. (I also spent some time on making it look less Access like, more of a stand alone app and wish to preserve it)
Up to this point the client was using Outlook to store all the contact info plus anything else she could jam into various "notes" fields. Now she wishes to have some simillar futures in the db to the ones outlook offered, one of them:
being able to open multiple contacts (records) in new windows. So basically she wants to open many instances of the main form so she can jump between the records without closing the previous one. My question is: what is the nicest (cleanest from the point of db design) way of giving her such functionality? I thought about giving her an option to open the new record (student) in a tab, but I'm not sure how to acomplish that. Another way would be to copy the main form several times and open those as she clicks on "open in new window", but I don't think it's a good solution, becsue: e.g. How many copies do I create? I'd have to go over all the vba in each copy and adjust it so it works properly with the copy, plus all the vba in each subform... :eek:
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated on how to tackle this. Also what are the consequences of having several instances of the same form open (editing same record by mistake, etc..)
Thank you very much,
Mariusz
General :: Printing Multiple Copies Of A Form?
Jun 18, 2015I have an Access based CRM system that was built for me in 1998. Amazingly it is still pretty effective. However, I would like to make a small adjustment in the programming..
Once we've added the details for an order we press continue and the screen closes and one copy of the acknowledgement of order form. I simply want it to print three copies!
I believe this is the coding part of the command that is effected.
Rem Print Report
DoCmd.OpenReport "Order Acknowledgement"
Rem Close Form
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Booking Entry"
Reports :: Printing Multiple Copies Of Each Group
Sep 24, 2013Our access database keep track of children attending an after-school music programme.
Each week we print registers and give them to the class teachers for them to mark who is coming. The registers are produced as a report, grouped by School then by Class.
We run 3 times a week so each week I need to print off 3 copies of the registers for each class.
Is there a way to print multiple copies of each group in a report? This would save me quite a bit of time each week.
I'm using Access 2013...
Print Multiple Copies Of A Report Using Macro
Jan 7, 2015In Access 2007 is it possible to alter a macro so I can print 2 copies of a report. I have created a simple macro which opens up a report based on a value in a data entry form. I want to automatically print 2 copies of the report. Is this possible....

Jun 5, 2014I have a simple database at the moment which I would like to put onto two laptops. The laptops would be used for entering information when out on a job (no network or email connection).
What I would want to do is have a database on a desktop in the office so when the laptops come back into the office they can update the office database with the information on the laptop database.
General :: Front End Copies Itself To Desktop After Closing Database
Apr 3, 2015I have a split db that has been in use for a few years by about 12 people. The front end is compiled into an accde file.
Ocasionally a user (randomly) might get an error message "Microsoft has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state...." when closing the db and when that happens, a copy of the front end is automatically placed on their desktop.
This front end is always deleted and the original front end continues to work just fine afterwards.
Why are my users getting this error message? Why is the front end automatically copied onto their desktops?
Queries :: Cartesian Table - Create Multiple Copies Of A Record To Use For Printing Labels
Aug 5, 2013I am using a cartesian query to create multiple copies of a record to use for printing labels.
Here's my query that produces the cartesian result:
SELECT tblCount.CountID, tblDeliveryOrders.DeliveryOrderNum, CurrentCY.Deliveryorderlineitemnum, CurrentCY.Quant, CurrentCY.UOM1, tblContainerSizeCodes.SizeCode, tblContainerTypeCodes.TypeCode, CurrentCY.WasteDescription, tblEtidDodaac.EtidDodaac, CurrentCY.ETIDDocNum, CurrentCY.Pounds, tblEPAWasteCodes.[EPAWasteCodes(1B)]
[Code] ....
This works just fine in creating the desired result - EXCEPT I don't get all the records.
When I remove the 'cartesian table', and right join everything, then I get the correct results. If I keep everything as-is and reintroduce the cartesian table, then I get an error about there being an ambiguous outer join.
Reports :: Query Based On Linked Tables - Report Produces Multiple Copies Of The Same Record
Jul 22, 2013My report produces multiple copies of the same record. I know why, but don't know how to fix it.
EmployeeTable.
With a one to many relationship with TrainingTable (via employee PK as FK in trainingtable).
Training table has a one to many relationship with a table called Range.
Report is based on a query that picks up the Employee/Training/Range (range just describes the training unit).
However, If I have more than one range expressed organized a training unit, the report spits out several copies of the Employee record to display all the ranges.
Syncronising 2 Forms
Dec 1, 2006I have two forms in a maintenance database. The first allows users to enter details of the maintenance request and the second allows the administrator to enter cost details of materials etc needed. I want the administrator to be able to click a cmd button and the second forms opens automatically at the current record in the first form. I am fairly new at this gane so some clear guidance would be very much appreciated.

Reports :: Publishing Multiple Copies Of Selected Reports
Nov 18, 2013I am trying to add to a db I inherited. One of the end reports that is produced is a cost breakdown for each end user.As things stand, the data collates into individual reports which are then grouped into one file and saved via PDF. What I am trying to work out is whether or not I can selectively pick some of those reports to have more than one copy.
I see a form (within an existing form) that will list all of the end users for a particular scheme and, next to that, be a dropdown that will allow the db user to select how many copies of each report needs to be published. These will then collate merrily into one document to be saved to PDF.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMultiple Users Can't Open Same Access Database
Jul 24, 2006Greetings. When I create an Access database on my company's "secure" server (through a PIX box), I get this message in a dialog box when I try to open the database again: "Open File - Security Warning. Do you want to open this file?" It then gives the file Name, Publisher (unknown publisher), Type (Microsoft Office Access Application), and From (the file path and name). The bottom of the dialog box has this message: "While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust the source, do not open this software." When I click on the "Open" command button, the file opens just fine.
There are a couple of things going on here:
1) When I open this same database or any other Access database on another of my company's servers that is not protected by a PIX box, I do not get this dialog box.
2) When two users try to access an MS Access database on the "secure" server, the first user will get in, but the second user will not. The second user will not get ANY warning messages -- nothing happens. This occurs if the second user tries to open the database by either double-clicking on a shortcut on the desktop or by double-clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer. Note that the second user CAN access the same file if s/he starts up MS Access from scratch, and then chooses FILE>OPEN from the main menu.
My goal is to be able to let multiple users access the MS Access databases on the secure server by either double-clicking on the shortcut icon or by double-clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer.
I thought perhaps that the "unknown publisher" issue might be part of the problem on the secure server. So I created a certificate using the utility "SELFCERT", went into the database, went into Visual Basic (Ctrl-G), went into TOOLS>DIGITAL SIGNATURE and assigned the digital signature, and re-saved the file. I then exited the file, went back in, and the dialog box still pops up saying the file's publisher is "unknown publisher"! If I go back into Visual Basic, the database is clearly marked as digitially signed by me. I don't know why the initial dialog box is still showing that the file is not digitally signed.
If anyone has any thoughts about these issues (multiple users not being able to access the same Access database, and why my file is saying it is still not digitally signed), I would appreciate your input. FYI, I am on a Windows XP workstation and our company users Windows Servers.
Thanks,
David
Sharing Access Database With Multiple Users
Apr 27, 2012I created an access database for the sole purpose of sharing approved data with my entire company. The end users will view the data in a Form which utilizes several tabs and also gives them the ability to run pre-set queries out of the Form. The Form was created using several queries which were built from tables off of the server.
The tables update every day, as does the information in my Form. The problem I am running into is that it takes about 2 minutes to open the DB (the DB opens directly to the form and all queries run immediately to update), which is annoying to end users and might deter them from actually using the tool. I have tried moving the DB to SharePoint, but that did not work due to the size of many of the tables.
Modules & VBA :: Update Access Database (multiple Rows)
Jan 7, 2014I have a table called "Mov" and its columns are:
Code:
Number | Link | Name | Status
1899 | htto://example.com/code1 | code1 | Done
2 | htto://example.com/code23455 | code23455 | Done
3 | htto://example.com/code2343 | code2343 | Done
13500 | htto://example.com/code234cv | code234cv | Deleted
220 | htto://example.com/code234cv | code234cv | Null
400 | htto://example.com/code234cv | code234cv | Null
So I want a way to update Status of my rows according to numbers list. For example I want to update Status column for multiple numbers to become Done .
Simply I want to update "Null status" to become "Done" according to its numbers according to this list
Code:
1234
53
546
767
2135
6657
43
34
Something like this
I tried "update query" but I don't know how to use criteria to solve this problem. In Excel I did that by "conditional formatting duplicates" -with my number list which I wanted to update - Then "sort by highlighted color" then "fill copy" the status with the value...
Combine Multiple Excel Sheets Into Single Access Database?
Jul 28, 2014My goal in Excel was to combine them all into a single Pivot Table which I did. The issue is everytime I add a sheet I need to redo the Pivot Table, which would be a hassle as I will continually be adding sheets. I'm hoping that there is an easier way this could be done using Access. The individual sheets are emailed to me and then I put them into one Excel file, is there a way to take that Excel file with all the sheets and import it to Access and be able to sort the data as I would with a Pivot Table in Excel?
View 4 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Access Database - Query Based On Multiple Day / Date Criteria
Jul 26, 2015I am currently working on a project to develop an access database to manage a roster of calls to clients on a daily basis based on two general criteria:
1. Pre-determined days selected by the client. (e.g. Call Mon, Wed, Fri only. This can change as client requirements change.)
2. Ad-hoc changes based on the client’s circumstances. (e.g. No call from 27/7/2015 to 29/7/ 2015)
I have managed to successfully deal with the second of these with the following expression in a query:
CallToday?: IIf((Date()>=[NoCallFrom] And Date()<=[NoCallTo]),"No","Yes")
However dealing with the first is a little more difficult to work out. I have tried a multivalue lookup field with multiple days selectable, but constructing an IIF query to deal with these multiple values is proving quite a challenge.
I am thinking of using a table with days of the week and a junction table to allow the multi-selection, but I may need constructing the relationships and the query here.

Saving Historical Copies Of DB
Sep 14, 2006Hiya,
I realise this could well go against almost every DB rule in the book, but figured I would ask it anyway!
I have a database, which pulls all it's data from other databases - some in SQL, some in Oracle, and some from other Access DBs.
It then combines it all, performs dozens of queries on it, and allows me to produce necessary reports on it - all fine.
I have been asked to make it save historical copies of all the data it uses. The reason for this is the Financial Services Authority, who insist that the checks we are doing on this data is all stored, so that if an auditor arrives tomorrow, and asks me to prove the data from 3 months ago was processed correctly, I have to be able to come up with that 3 month old data.
I thought the easiest thing to do would be to use a series of make-table queries to move all the tables data to an external database, which can then be archived.
Does anyone have a way of allowing me to save the entire database, as at NOW - to another database?
I would need to make all the tables LOCAL, rather than linked?
Thanks! (and sorry for the unnecessarily long post!)

Compact Resulting In Copies On The Network
Nov 28, 2007I tried the search and while I found some things related to my issue, I couldn't really come to a conclusion on my issue.
I have all the databases on the network set to compact on close. This is resulting in a new copy of the compacted database with the generic "db1.mdb" file name every time the db is compacted. It also does not compact the correct one.
So, basically...it is copying the db, compacting it, but not deleting the old one and renaming the new one.
If I copy the database to my hard drive, it compacts, deletes, and renames sucessfully.
The only thing I can think of at this point is there's some issue with the server. But this is happening on multiple servers.
Field Data Copies Into Column
Sep 19, 2006I grabbed a mdb template for customers/workorders from MS. I am trying to modify the "workorder labor" form in design view to have the first field be a manually filled in date, followed by start time, then finish time.
I got the boxes to show up.
The problem is that when I enter a date all the fields in that column are filled with the same information.
I tried variations of using a mask and format. I tried it as a text box from scratch and copying an existing one.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Copy And Paste Security Permissions From Copies Of A Db
Jul 11, 2007I have to make a new copy of a db starting with a blank db and importing all the objects into the blank. (Corruptions issues).
When a blank db is made, and the objects imported into it, the security permissions do not copy over. The only way I know how to get the security permissions back is to redo them in the new copy. It's a big db. Lots of time. Ugh.
Is there any way to copy and paste the security permissions from one db to another?
Thanks
[HELP] Adding Book Copies To Book_copy Table
Mar 21, 2008Ruralguy suggested that i made a new thread - so I'm taking his advice (H)
I've got another problem, well not problem..i want to make it more user-friendly.
Database= 21238 (Look for yourself see what i mean)
(rename to .RAR if it doesn't open)
Basically, when the user adds a book, they can add it easily..
the only problem is, when ..just say i want to add a book, and I have 10 copies of this book, I have to add the book first and the go into the ADD_BOOK_COPY form and then select the book which i want to add more copies of and click add - i repeat this for the total amount of copies that i have.
So if i had 10 copies of 1 book, i add, and then go into a seperate form and then click this button 9 more extra times.
Which, can cause headahces!
So basically, i'm thinking of implementing a new way to do this,
i was thinking about..
When i got to add a book, there's a List/Combo box with 1-20 into
So i can add the book, and then select how many copies, click 'add' and this will add 20 copies of that bookm firstly by adding it to the 'book' table and then adding 20 copies to the book_copy table..
Is there anyone who would like to help with this? :' )
Cheers btw! :)
