The fields on my form are not in the same order as in the table. When putting new data in the form and moving from field to field by TAB key, the cursor would jump from the field to field in the order of fields in the table. How do I change it so the cursor moves from field to field in the forms format.
Thanks in advance,
John
What steps do you(s) follow or recommend to creating tables? Any standard questions? I was reading Erwin, data modeling book and didn't see a stardard check list of things to ask.
I think I need to set the following up in a db, (currently in an excel spreadsheet - has a lot of Redundancy in it) type of inspection checksheet, by machine (20 machines) and shifts (3) There are 20 or so questions that need to be filled in, (yes/no and numbers). any thoughts?
Greetings,
I am just posting a follow-up on my previous post on designing functional forms. Telling by the lack of replies, my original question may have been long winded and tedious. Let me try to narrow my question and make it more concise.
In two tables connected by a one-one field name ProfileID, how can I set a new field in the second table (call it StepNo or procedureNo) so that it increments step numbers for each unique ProfileID record? Thus for each new Profile record created in the first table, a new form will allow the entry of X numbers of steps into the second table and automatically link the two records?
I hope that clarifies my problem. Thanks in advance.
thanx for the advice...that does make more sense. my only other issue is adding the letter (m for meter permit, h for hydrant, etc.) to the permit # if they are all going to be in one table. btw, sorry for the duplicate postings...just under a bit of stress @ work. i'll make a note of it.

I'm wondering why my query is not working properly. All I'm just trying to do is to display all the years greater than or equal to 2000. But still, it displays the entire content of the colum from 1991 to present. How did this happen?...
is there something wrong with the way i set my criteria?
Criteria: >="2000"
I am trying to use followhyperlink as a way to open a link in a browser to a file in a shared dropbox folder. I have a form with a control, the control is named LinkToDoc it's record source is a text field in a table. The file path in the table is similar to [URL] ..... I am getting run time error 15, cannot open the specified file.
Code:
Private Sub cmdOpenFile_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink LinktoDoc
End Sub
I am a completely green when it comes to Access and MVB. I've surprised myself in creating the db and form.
My db is for troubleshooting outlet issues. I have a list of outlets and their various configurations. Users NEVER add or change any info. They select the outlet from a combo box and view the information. The problem is that you can move the wheel and change the outlet information being displayed but the combo box does not reflect the change; it continues to show the initially selected outlet name.
How do you get the combo box text to follow the mouse wheel?
I thought an easier solution would be to disable the mouse wheel, but in looking through this forum, apparently not.

I follow a ritual of moving last to first before looping through a recordset. I started following this because in the way back (I think on office 2003). I used to get an error if don't do it. Is the problem still exists? Is this ritual scientific still?
Code:
Sub mac()
Dim myRset As Recordset2
Dim AttachmentField As Field2
Set myRset = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Table1")
With myRset
.MoveLast

I am trying to create some code for a button in a report that will follow a hyperlink to a specific file. The problem I'm having is that the files that are at the end of the hyperlink can have various extensions (*.doc, *.docx, *.pdf, etc.) I'd like to be able to put a wildcard in the code to allow the opening of the file regardless of the extension.
Code so far:
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink ("C:UsersjbeggDocumentsAccessTestFolder" & [FileName] & ".*")
End Sub
Is it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
Hi There,
I have built a fairly basic DB to record incoming sales enquiries to our business. When we contact some of those enquiries later we are often asked to call back in 2 months time or 3 months time etc. There is a form within the DB were we can enter the outcome of conversations with the people making the enquiry.
What I want to know is there anything that I can do in Access that in 2 or 3 months time will remind me to call these people?????
The only date within the DB is the date of the incoming enquiry and the date when the brochure is sent to the enquiry.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Best Regards
Keith :rolleyes:

I have a startup form with three buttons. All three buttons have Tab Stop set to No. However, when I open the form, there is a highlighted box around what would have been the first button set in the tab order had Tab Stop been set to Yes. Is there a way to not display the light green box around the text in the button?
Thanks,
SKK
My tab order is the way I want it and when the user enters after the last field on the form, they get a new record. Problem is, the cursor is putting them in the last field on the form instead of the first one. I don't get it. The first field is first on the tab order list. Help.

How do you change a file's sort order from ascii to international?

Hi,
I have a question.
why do we need to order MS Access application when the user request it in the company?
Suppose one user buy MS Access application, then we can install the other workstation, right. But, everytime, we need to order MS Access for that user account/workstation.
In contrast, ms word, ms excel, powerpoint, we don't need to order it, every workstation must have them, except ms access.
Can anybody response me why we need to order ms access for each user account/workstation?
Thanks.
Please help,
I have sorted my table by the primary key as when i open the form that loads fields from the table, i would like the most recent record entered to appear instead of the first record that was entered. The problem i have is when i run the form it still shows the first record even though i have sorted the primary key field in descending order. How do i fix this?
Hi everyone,
On a form, I want to fix the tab order of the text boxes. So I go to the tab order property of the form and when it opens, it doesn't let me change the order. Can anyone help me on this?
Thank you very much
I'm using Access 2003 and a week ago I ran into a very strange problem with one of my tables. The table has 15 fields named Field1, Field2, Field3,....Field15. The weird thing that is happening is if I open the table in design view it will list the fields in order (Field1, Field2, Field3....Field15), but when I open the table in datasheet view Field10 and Field11 get flipped (.....Field8, Field9, Field11, Field10, Field12....). Has anyone every seen this before? I'm guessing it somehow got corrupted. It wouldn't be a real big deal for me to just delete the table and create a new one, but if there is a fix to it then I was wondering if someone could share that with me. Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Folks,
I'm working on an order management database for a small company and have an order details form which I hoped to list each product of the order. As each customer has a different price per product I have a combo (based on a query) to choose the product and display the unit price (working fine) - the quantity and product ID are also input on the form and stored in the order details table (un-tested). My problem is on the first line of the order you choose the product and it and relevant details are shown, however, on line two, three etc when you choose the product - the other lines change to this too. How do I fix this???
Many Thanks in advance for help given!!
