Hello Everyone,
Why does my database grow so large during the development stage?
After compacting the database it is 64 megs, but only after a small number of changes it grows to 500 plus and more if I don’t re-compact it.
There is only one small graphic inserted into it.
Is there any way of making data that is inputted in lower case to automatically change to the first letter of each word being a capital ...

help is needed yet again :-)
I know when creating a text field in the format option
you can use the > or < sign so that when text
is entered it automatically changes it to uppercase or
lowercase - but i need it to be Title Case, any one know
how I can do this....
Hi,
I have an MS Access database. It contains tables linked to tables on SQL Server. Therefore MS Access is really only acting as a front end to the SQL Server database.
I converted the MS Access database to a .mde file.
I noticed over the past few days that the .mde file is growing in size. I don't understand why this is the case. The data is being stored in SQL Server and the database only contains links to the tables so I wouldn't have expected the size of the .mde file to change.
Does anyone know why the .mde file is growing? Is there anyway I can stop this of growing?
Many Thanks
I have a problems which seems simple, but it's made me doubt everything I have learned about this; I suddenly find myself unable to grasp what I belive is a very small and easy solution, but I cannot!! (Either that or I have stumbled upon a real conseptual problem without realising it :) )
This is what I had working nicely
Supplier
supplyer_ID : ID and PK of a supplyer
more boring attributes
Ingredient
ingredient_ID: ID and PK of ingredient
Name
Supplyer_ID: FK to who the supplyer is
Recipe
Recipe_ID: PK and ID
Recipe_unit_weight: How big each unit should be
other stuff
When making a recipe it is obvious that there can be many ingredients and that an ingredient can be used in many recipes, thus it's a many-many. I therefore created a junction table:
Recipe_Ingredients
Recipe_Ingredient_ID: PK (I was not completely sure if this one would come in handy, but it has not so far caused any problems (that I can see)
Recipe_ID: FK to which recipe it is for
ingredient_ID: FK to which ingredient
Receipe_ingredient_amount: How much of the ingredient
Receipe_Ingredient_order: In which order to put into recipe
I had a nice form where the Recipe was the parent and the subform contained the ingredients. The subform was driven by a query that had the columns from the Recipe_Ingredient table plus the name of the supplier as well as the version of the recipe (as there might be many). Using a combo to get the name of the Ingredient and binding on the Ingredient_ID I didn't need to also bring in the name of the Ingedient in the query.
Now enter problem: For professional people this lacks one thing; Being able to use another Recipe as an ingredient. After a lot of thinking the solution I envisioned was;
Add a column in the Recipe to flag that is a base recipe (true/false). Then adding a new column to the Recipe_Ingredient table, namely Base_ID, which is the Recipe_ID for which recipe to use. As there is already a Recipe_ID referring to which the ingredient belongs, I needed a different name. Additionally I had to change the relationships in the subform query to be left-joins (always include all columns in the Recipe_Ingredient and join in whatever you can find in the other two.
This works for diplay purposes (when I hand edit the join table). The problems I get is when adding a new recipe as ingredient in the subform;
When adding a base (recipe) at the point of saving the record my Recipe table validation kicks in saying you need to have Recipe_unit_weight > 0!!! I am not planning on adding any recipes here. This does however not always happen, as another error also kicks in: Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find a record in the table 'Supplier' with the key matching field(s) ''. As it's a recipe there is no supplier and I'm assuming it is trying to find a supplier.
If I strip away the extra columns from the query powering the subquey (like supplier and base (recipe) version) it works like a charm. In effect it means that the query only consists of the junction table.
It seems that having a two-way junction table with left-join with both "parents" is causing problems. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here or is it Access that don't get the picture (and how do I tell it).
Any hints or suggestions are welcome

Thx :)
Okay,This will probably sound confusing, but I'm going to try my best to hone down the issue.First:There is an imported DBF table that I have to perform calculations on, primarily of the string variety, but also with a few type conversions (such as: String "06" = CDate("1/1/" & "06") -> into a Date/Time field)Okay, given that, I was doing many things all at once, but found by doing it in several stages allowed me the ability to: Narrow down the actual amount of items in the DBF that I will import Speed up some of the calculation in the TransferSo I have two tables:tbl_OriginalTape_ID: Text(10) - {Primary}Title: Text(50) - {Primary}Title_Rem: Text(50)Category: Text(3)TitleLen: NumberActionQuery on Tbl_Original: INSERT INTO tbl_Original (tape_id, title, title_rem, category, TitleLen) SELECT qry_dbf.tape_id, qry_dbf.title, qry_dbf.title_rem, qry_dbf.category, Len(RTrim([qry_dbr.title])) as TitleLen) FROM qry_dbf;tbl_CalcTitlesTapeID: Text(10)MovieTitle: Text(100)AltTitle: Text(100)Remarks: Text(50)Paren: Text(20)Bracket: Text(30)Orig_Id: Text(10)OrigTitle: Text(50)Now to take the data populated into tbl_Original, there are many rules that I have to follow. Example: if Original.Title = {text}>>{text} the the left of the double ">" signs, is the MovieTitle, to the Right is the Alt Title. If in the MovieTitle there is a (*) {parenthetical} the parenthetical is removed and the text insde the () is instered into Paren. Similar rules apply for Bracket, just with [] square brackets instead of Parentheses (). Also, if the Trimmed Title Length from the Original insert =40 (the maximum for the DBF field, AND the Original Category field = "SEE" then the title_rem field is appended to the AltTitle field of tbl_CalcTitles, and the the tbl_CalcTitles.Remarks field is set to "" (emtpy string), otherwise the title_rem field is populated into tbl_CalcTitles.Remarks. Also for attempted relationships for later use, I directly transfer the tbl_Original.title and tape_id fields to the Orig_Id and OrigTitle fields of tbl_CalcTitles.Yes, This is very annoying, and i've spent some time writing all the little funcitons to do exactly this, and be accurate every time I run my action query. (It is pointless to post here, since it involves way too much vb back end code to post it all.)qry_dbf: 33099 recordstbl_Original: 33098 recordstbl_CalcTitles: 33098 recordsNow, given this setup, we know that in my insert into tbl_Original, 33098 records of qry_dbf were unique in the paired tape_id and title fields. So now I want to link qry_DBF to the tbl_CalcTitles, so that I get exactly 33098 records from qry_dbf that match up witht he Orig_id and OrigTitle in tbl_CalcTitles. Yet, no matter what i do, I do not get this result. My last attempt was a LEFT JOIN from tbl_Original to qry_DBF and I got 33138 records returns. How did grow extra records. if I ONLY have 33098 in tbl_Original, and 33099 in qry_dbf, where are the 40 extra coming from?So I tried to link tbl_CalcFields to qry_dbf on an INNER join on the same fields, and now, this is purely mind-boggling:Each Time I alter the number of fields DISPLAYED from qry_dbf, the total number of records return alters. Example:tbl_CalcTitles.TapeID, tbl_CalcTitles.MovieTitle, qry_dbf.Title: 33092 recordstbl_CalcTitles.TapeID, tbl_CalcTitles.MovieTitle, qry_dbf.Title, qry_dbf.category, qry_dbf.format: 33072 recordsNow this is completely beyond what one would expect. I already know that there are 33098 unique records in qry_dbf, on the pairing of fields, Tape_ID and Title, of with all 33098 records are contained within tbl_CalcTitles with the EXACT replica of those two fields. so If I am doing an Inner Joing of tbl_CalcTitles and qry_Dbf on those two fields which produced 33098 unique records, why would altering the number of DISPLAYED fields affect that outcome. Why am I not getting all 33098 records from qry_dbf that are contained in tbl_calcFields?Thanks a lot, this has been extermely nerve-wracking.Jaeden "Sifo Dyas" al'Raec RuinerPS - qry_DBF is SQL source defined as:SELECT tap001.*FROM tap001 IN 'tap001.dbf'[ODBC;DSN=Visual FoxPro Database;SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=D:Quarterly]ORDER BY tap001.tape_id, tap001.title;

I'm trying to make a text box for comments that grows as the user types to fit the comment perfectly.
The comments can be anywhere from 2 words to a paragraph long.
Is this even possible? If it is, is the best place to do it on a form?
I've made a text box and tried the "Can Grow" property, but that doesn't increase the size as you type.
I'm wondering maybe if there's a VBA "After Update" Code that will readjust the textbox to fit the code?
I have a DB that that is growing slowly. To keep it simple I have 2 tables and one form. One of the tables is a “ASSET_lookup” table. The other table (ASSETS) is the real meat and potatoes. I have a form for the assets table that will populate specific fields that are looked up based on a single combo box linked to a query from the assets_lookup table. Everything worked fine until I needed to add some additional items to the asset_lookup table.
The new “records” I added to the lookup table will not show up in the combo box after it updates (a selection is made). I did some experimenting and if I recreate after adding the new records to look up table, the combo box will show the value, but I am curious what I am missing.
I have a strange issue. First off I have a front end in Access 2000 as a MDE file linked to a mdb data file.
Issue number 1: The MDE file almost doubles in size daily. Yes, the mde file not mdb (it grows slowly and expectedly as data is added and deleted) . I expected the MDE file to stay a static size. Is this normal, what causes this?
Issue number 2: I had on 3 occasions a query in the mde file suddenly pop up with a ”cannot repeat table name ‘Nameoftable’ in FROM clause”. I go into the mde file, SQL query view and delete the extra table name and all is fine for awhile. After the second time I did away with that quey and rewrote the query for my form a different way. It’s come back once again now for anther table. Has anyone heard of Access doing this?
I also note that the modified date of the file keeps changing. I am wondering if someone is tampering. My client that has this software is very naďve.
The MS site has no information regarding either behaviour.
Any ideas?

I have seven (sub) reports put on to a large report. How can I get the reports to shrink or grow according to how much info they have in them. I have tried Detail - Can Shrink, Can grow - but this doesn't seem to work. At the moment I have them all lined up but they are all overlapping each other.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report with several forms, these are all graphs.
In order to fit them all on one report, I need them to be able to grow.
This works fine in Report View, they grow as expected, however when exporting to PDF, printing or print preview, they do not grow. I set them all to Yes for Can Grow and it displays correctly in Report View.
I have a continuous form with 4 text boxes
txt1,txt2,txt3,txt4
if txt1 has more than one line how to let it grow and in the same time the other txt boxes will grow to the same size
all the textboxes should have the biggest size
I did this but in report
I put this code in the event OnPrint
Code:
On Error Resume Next
Dim lngCounter As Long, dblMaxHeight As Double, i As Integer
dblMaxHeight = 0
ReDim strcontrol(10)
For i = 0 To 10
[Code] .....
Is there anyway to let this done in forms?
So here's my problem. I'm trying to update a listbox in excel with values that are being pushed in a table in access. The problem is that there are repeated values in the column in access, but I only want to show each value once, regardless of how many times it appears in the table. I would give a code sample but I'm having trouble getting started...
Any help is appreciated.

in my report I have table made from 25 fields (5x5) and they all have the Can Grow Option turned on.
However the lines and boxes separating the fields do not grow with my fields and I get plenty of intersections and over lapping.
Is there a way to make boxes and lines grow with the text box?
I have a report, and the "reason" field is one that can grow as needed. The following string is in the field: "MISSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, MISSING SERVICE LOGS FOR DATE OF SERVICE". I bolded MISSING, where the space hits the border. My standard setting for the border style is Transparent, and the space is causing the growing to not work properly. TransparentBorder.pdf shows the incorrect growing. When I change the border style to Solid, the growing works correctly, as shown in the SolidBorder.pdf file.why the growing is not working properly with the Transparent border, but does work correctly with the Solid border?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Option Box that contains three Report Choices, Report1, Report2 and Report3. I want to run the Reports. I coded using If-Then and it worked out fine. See code below:

Something simple is missing at the top. Please advise as to how to correct this?
Someone was helping me out and sent me the attached code to connect to a SQL server from Access2000 in a query. Access doesn't use the CASE statement, but the IIF statement instead. Can any of you help in deciphering the below CASE statement into an IIF statement?....

How can I set up a table so that as we assign a case it generates a new number with the year in front of it. I would like for the case number to be generated by the program and when someone enter a new case the program generates the next case number and assignes it to that case. The format we use for our file numbers are year-XXXX (ex: 07-0001). With the new year I'm trying to set this up so that as we start the year the computer will generate the new number.

Hi,
I'd like to know if the keyword CASE, or IF... is recognized in Access (sql) queries.
If not, wat should I do to implement a condition, in a query or in the source of a textbox in a report ?
The problem : I have a report that use this query in a calculated field, and I want to avoid results that are equal to zero (i.e.divising by zero).
Thanks :)

Hi here is the original code
MAX(IIf([Book]='C',[Score]," ")) AS CScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS CPercent,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PassFail]," ")) AS C,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[Score]," ")) AS DScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS DPercent,
Here is what I thought may work, but it seems like there should be an easier way
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Score] else null as CScore,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'C' then [PercentileScore] else Null as CPercent,
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Passfail] else Null as C,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'D' then [Score] else Null as Dscore,
Case when Max ([book]) = 'D' then [PercentileScore] eslse Null as DPercent,
Thanks
