Tables :: Access 2007 / Data Not Visible In Table Datasheet View?
Dec 10, 2012
I have recently been modifying an existing Access 2007 database, everything seems to be working correctly, except that the main table holding most of the data is acting strangely.
If opened in database view, it is completely blank - no column headers, no data. Record count is correct and I can step through/select records, but there's just nothing visible at all.
The data clearly still exists as it can still be viewed in forms / queries / reports.
Only thing I can think of is that I have deleted a bunch of outdated queries & reports and it's possible that one or more of them may be cross-referenced with the table in another query, but still can't see why that should be causing this problem.
i have a database in access 2003 when i open it with access 2003 it shows data in table but when i open same table in access 2007 it shows only header rows , no data
how can i see this data into access 2007 or excel 2007.i want to link these table data with excel 2007 or access 2007 but with above problem i can't do it
In a table I have three fields 1. City - which is a combo box linked to a query, 2. State - a text box, 3. postal Code - a text box
When i put them on a form I use the info selected in the City box to populate the info in the State and Postcal Code boxes.
The Control source for the city is SELECT tblPostcodes.ID, tblPostcodes.Pcode, tblPostcodes.Locality, tblPostcodes.State FROM tblPostcodes;
Then on the form i put the control source of the state box as =City.column(1) and Postal code as =City.column(3)
This works fine on the form- and the information is retained - but the datasheet view of the table does not record either the State or the Postcode data that was entered. Is this because I put the control source on the form and the table is not recognising it? if this is the case how do enter it from the table?? really confused...
I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features. Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing! Help! I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
Is there a way to hide the application title bar (including the min, max and close buttons) as well as the windows taskbar when Access is running? I have seen this done before where the form fills the entire screen - ie no controls or frames are visible.
i have a table that holds "course codes" with the corresponding Module title and module codes, and assessment titles and codes that are used in each of the courses, so I have a few records that will go against one course code. I have forms set up with subforms, with the same general details on the top of each as the main details, and each of the subforms giving different information. But, for four of my subforms, I need to pull information from this table with the module title, module codes, assessment title and codes. possible to have these certain columns appear across four subforms, and what is the best way to go about it, I was thinking of using lookups?
:eek: Our office is planning to switch over to MS Office 2007 including Access 2007. I've just been looking into converting our Access 2003 databases to the new version. One thing I noticed about the datasheets appearing as subforms is that each field header/label/caption/column selector thingie has a dropdown menu. The down arrow of the dropdown menu takes up valuable realestate where the field name is being displayed.
Question: Is there a way to turn off those individual datasheet dropdowns and get rid of the arrows so that the form doesn't have to be redesigned, due to increased column width considerations which the down arrows cause, just to display the full field labels as they always have been in Access 2003?
I have a query that's been working fine for years, however...the powers that be have requested a change. We need to track the lining owners in cars. We've recently gone to SQL on the back end (which I basically know NOTHING about) but I set up the new table, refreshed the connection, etc.
I can see the table fine and it says it has a primary key, auto numbers, etc. however, as you can see from the jpg below when I add the table to the query and link the id as in all the other tables, for some reason, this one makes all the data disappear when in datasheet view.If I delete the table from the query - it all comes back.
Is it possible to append two queries? The queries have the same layout and labels...it's just a matter of combining the data into one datasheet view.
The two queries are below:
1) SELECT prc.Market AS Geography, trp.Product, trp.Indication, trp.[Variable Name], trp.Period, Round(prc.Index*trp.[Variable Value],2) AS [Variable Value], trp.Outlet, trp.Daypart, trp.[Program Name], trp.Len, trp.Creative, trp.Campaign, trp.[Campaign Name], trp.[Media Type], trp.Vendor, trp.Channel FROM tblTRP AS trp, tblTRPpercent AS prc WHERE (((trp.Indication)=prc.Indication) And ((trp.[Media Type])=prc.Type) And ((trp.Geography)="National") And ((trp.Month)=prc.Month));
2) SELECT prct.DMA AS Geography, tv.Product, tv.Indication, tv.[Variable Name], tv.Period, Round(prct.percentUniverse*tv.[Variable Value],6) AS [Variable Value], tv.Outlet, tv.Daypart, tv.[Program Name], tv.Len, tv.Creative, tv.Campaign, tv.[Campaign Name], tv.[Media Type], tv.Vendor, tv.Channel FROM tblTVOtherMetrics AS tv, tblDMApercent AS prct WHERE (((tv.Geography)="National"));
I have a table that I was in the process of cleaning up when I got the following errors: "type mismatch in expression" and "microsoft office access can't open the table in Datasheet view." What does this mean, and how can I get rid of these errors? Thanks.
I am trying to create a form with a datasheet view that will show me all exceptions worked on all member accounts. I have over 10k members that each could have multiple issues (exceptions) worked on their account. I am using MS Access 2007.
Example: I have a member John Smith, with member id of 1234-00 that has multiple "exceptions" worked on his membership, say 5 database records for his account. My initial query I only want to see him listed once. I then would double click his Member ID to open all activity of his account.
I found the code below and modified it to fit my database and it brings me back the results I need for the above. However, if a material change is made on John Smith's account, his number is incremented. His number would be incremented to 1234-01. The next material change 1234-02, etc. I am looking to modify the code below, or another way to do it, that ignores the "-" and any numbers after it. The numbers before the "-" will never change. I searched and saw the TRIM function but couldn't get it to work.
Below is the code I'm using that has the correct names from my database. I have a primary key set up that increments and is tied to the exception, not the member id.
SELECT firstname, lastname, exceptionswrkd.memberid FROM exceptionswrkd AS base INNER JOIN ( SELECT memberid, Min(id) AS which_id FROM exceptionswrkd GROUP BY memberid ) AS sub ON base.id = sub.which_id;
I have a question regarding copy-pasting the access headers. I want to copy paste Access headers from a design view from one acess file to another file in the same format. Currently I can only copy-paste them one by one. How to copy paste it column by column?
I'm working on an Access 2007 database and any changes I make to a form or control will not save. I click the save button, and try keyboard shortcuts but when I close the form I get a prompt "Do you want to save changes to <whatever>":
If I click "Yes" the changes still do not save and I when I close the form it starts the cycle over.If I click "No" the form closes and the changes are not saved (obviously).
There is no VBA in the project but I've still tried a recompile as suggested for older versions of Access but no luck. There are quite a few embedded macros but I'm not sure how they could be causing this.
I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?
Back in A2003, I could filter a table by the In() function with the table open in datasheet view. A2007 doesn't seem to want me to be able to do that. How do I filter a table by multiple values while in datasheet view to be able to delete some records.
Background: I get a datasheet in every month that, due to marketing to the same customers in different month, the YTD file I get has duplicate accounts. I have to delete one of the records, but the criteria for deletion aren't something I can query for. This is why I need it open in datasheet view.
My alternative is to make a table out of the duplicate entries, delete those from the original table, then append the cleaned accounts.
I have some issue when i save list view data in a access table.In form I have a list box(listtotalcount) and one text box(ID). In form load event I run a query on that list box like: "SELECT count(id) FROM table A" and it gave me the correct result. Now I want to store this data on a different table (table b) and I use this code:
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("table b", dbOpenDynaset)
[code]....
But the problem is when I click the save button it store only id not the list box value.
I am receiving the following error while trying "get external data from Access to Excel". The purpose is to set up a pivot table from my access data. The error is as follows: "This data source contains no visible tables". Can anyone explain why I would recieve the error, when I have tables in my Access database? Thanks,
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
I am using an application that uses an Access database, and I believe the original database was created in the 97 version. The application queries the database and allows a person to view the data in the database to select a particular instrument to test. When the MS Office was upgraded by our IT we are no longer able to view the data in application. The fields, rows, and columns appear, but the numbers and letters are not visible. The data is really there, but can't be seen.
I have attached a screenshot of the view that shows the white columns and rows.
I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.
I have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
