We have only 4 computers in our office. Our DB backend is SQL server and due to constant corruption of the database from multiple users, each user/computer runs its own separate copy of the mdb file.
I have set up a small form in a separate database to allow me to quickly compact the DB and copy it to the 4 locations on the network instead of doing it manually. This process works fine...BUT....I have a text box on the form set up to display the copy progress and the contents of the text box do not properly display during the file copying. Even though the code to change the value of the textbox comes before the file copy command, the textbox will not display the until after the copying is finished. However, when I step debug the process it displays the information correctly before the file copy command executes.
Here is a sample of my code...
Dim strPath1 As String
Dim strpath2 As String
If Dir("C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Cannot proceed! Fortune database is open.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
txtProgress = "Compacting Database"
'compact master DB to a temporary DB file
DBEngine.CompactDatabase "C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.mdb", strPath1
txtProgress = ""
If chkTed Then
If Dir(strpath2 & "Ted.ldb") <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Ted cannot be copied. Program is running.", vbCritical
Else
Screen.MousePointer = 11
txtProgress = "Ted Copying"
Kill strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
FileCopy strPath1, strpath2 & "Ted.mdb"
txtProgress = ""
Screen.MousePointer = 0
End If
End If
....etc...
Can anyone explain why this is happening and possibly a way around it?
I have an table with attachment field in which PDF files are attached.I need Access 2013 form to display PDF file content instead of PDF icon .While record changed should display PDF content for each record navigated
I have a database where a column holds the links to files inside a folder. I had a macro running all day to get from a .pst file all the emails inside a database. Now I made a mistake by later changing the whole folder to a different drive. I don't want to import them again as was thinking to use a query to add the new part of the drive path to the column. How can I make a query to change the following:
C:Tempemail archiveemail.msg to: D:DataIncomingemail archiveemail.msg
Using Access 2010, I have a table the contains a field, MembereMail, that is defined as a hyperlink. I imported data from an Excel spreadsheet which looked to be consistent in format and did not realise that anything was wrong until I wrote some VB code to generate personalised emails with personalised attachments. I then found that some of the hyperlinks worked and some didn't. Those that were essentially text worked, those that were genuine hyperlinks tried and failed to go to addresses prefixed "Mailto:".
I have finally managed to convert all email hyperlinks to text content (although still defined as hyperlinks) and my code works. However when I add a new record to the table through a form, the field still being defined as Hyperlink, it goes in as pure text. I therefore have the need to use the address in both text form and as hyperlink so that the user can click on the field and start an Outlook email as well as my code running correctly for mass mailings.
So a number of questions:
-Why does Access not store the email address as a clickable Hyperlink? -How can I satisfy my two requirements from one field? -Can Access 2010 check the input text to ensure that it is a correctly formatted email address?
how many elements matching to my primary elements from any records of my query and count match, if some element doesn't match then I need to add it to my primary elements, then at the end (rst.eof) count how many primary elements I have.
E.G
id colours 1 blue;red 2 purple;blue;green 3 red;violet;purple;blue
dim matching_elements as long dim primary_elements as string dim TheNumberOfPrimaryElements as long
First of all, if I open recordset primary_elements is empty so I need to assign a value form first record.
As I began thinking about the data that I need to include in one of my reports I relized that I need to gather some extra data.Each design change has a lifecycle with 7 basic states from not started through to closed. States 4, 5, and 6 have two posible sub-states that I need to capture and report. It is almost like having options.
My data entry form already records the 7 basic states. What I would like to do is have another field that records the sub-states if the design change is in one of those three states.
Will a ComboBox do this?
Do I need a test routine for the After Update event in the first text box? Something that will check for states 1 - 3 and 7 move on to the next field and if states 4 -6 require users to enter the sub-state.
My database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
If Me!Type = "Workboat" Then Me!DWT.Visible = False End
This works fine but where the TYPE field is enetred as another category other than workboat, the DWT field is still missing. Am I missing the Else part?
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form. What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly. What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date. I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine. The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
I tried to display a variable and constant onto a text box by putting =myvariable onto the data source of the text box. However, Access seems keep threating my variable as a data field and giving me error message. What to do with this?
Hello Guys, I am new to Access 2000 and issue is ,I have a field name product_name with datatype MEMO,when I chek my report at the place of product_name instead of the name of product it shows a squared symbol ,i dont understand how I can see the values of product_name.

Go nice and easy on me. This is my first serious DB and i've picked a cracker to start with.
Basically i am trying to set up a booking system for excursions, booking seats on coaches, trains, printing tickets, vouchers and information.
At the moment I'm trying to populate a text box (txtExcursionCost) in a form with a cost with is drawn from a table (tblExcursions).
tblExcursions holds information about the excursions including the info which populates combo box (cboExcursionTitle) and combo box(cboExcursionDate). The date combo is dependant on what is selected in the Title combo. The text box (txtExcursionCost) needs to be dependant on the Title and Date combos to get the right cost displayed. How could I get this to work?
The reason for the text box is that it only needs to be displayed to show the user the cost of that particular excursion and to create a base for a calculation for Amount Due at the completion of the transaction.
Let me start by saying I am very, very new to Access, but have been assigned a report to create.
I have the following textbox in my report: =[Location]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [callnumber]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [Online Availability]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [PF Subject]
I'm using this format so that my 4 fields appear in a list and don't leave blank lines if the one of the fields happens to be empty.
The problem is that I need to alter or substitute some text.
First, in the location field, I can have several different entries, but if the entry is 'Circ', I don't want that text to display and I don't want a blank line either.
Secondly, in the online availability field, if there is any value in the field, I want whatever text that is to change to something like 'Online - Yes'. If there is no value in the field, nothing should display.
I think the use of the Iif function should work, but I can't seem to write it correctly. Help!!
There are 2 images I am inserting, I want on the Access form to display the total of row (each row is batch number) in the box after pressing the button in the form. based on Product code, date and table numbers.
Hi All, I hope someone can help with this, I have 2 tables, 1 main table that holds all my part data ( ie part num, description, etc) and a second table with vendor info. On my Form I have all my fields that display the record. I placed a combo box on my form that I need the user to be able to select a vendor, which is working but I need the form to show the vendors part number in a field. The main table has a manufactures part number, and I have 3 fields that have my 3 vendors part numbers for that part in it. I have the combo box so that it shows the vendor name but how do I get it to look at a certain field for the vendor part number. Im still really new to Access and am clueless any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I have not explained this every well so I am attaching a sample of the DB so you can see that I have Thanks again
I have a tabular form in Access 2003 that is cutting off the text disply in some text fields.
I am doing some comparisons so the fields are repeated three times.
All three fields are larger than the data.
Two fields display correctly and the third field, identical to the other two, is chopped off on the right side and just shows empty space after the first few letters instead of all the data.
Fields are all the same size in the underlying table.
Changing the format between left, center, right has no effect.
Text size is the same in all three.
All the data is from a single query on a single form.
There is no subform.
All properties for the three are the same.
If I increase the field WAY beyond the required size all the data shows, but I haven't any extra room to do this on the form.
I have a field called PRICE and obviously it is a NUMERIC field as it need to perform calculations such as calculating Total Quantity * Price etc. At the moment the PRICE is inputted manually by the User on a Form and when it has no Price it is simple left blank.
What I wish to include is that on the REPORT when the field is empty it writes the text FOC instead of leaving it empty.
Can you please anyone suggest a way of doing this.
Hi, I have created a form (Form1) based on a table (Table1) and also a Query based on this table (Query1). I calculate a field in the query (Expr1: [column1] + [column2]) Now i have created a text box on Form1 that should display Expr1. I know I could also calculate the value directly via the expression builder, but I would prefer to simply display Expr1 from my query. Which is the syntax I have to use in the Expression Builder? I tried "= [Query1]![Expr1]" but it does not work. Thanks for your help Tigrou
