Being an Access newbie and all I knew nothing about the maximum number of TableIDs being 2048...really I just found out about TableIDs when the error message popped up. :o
Is there a way around this, short of revamping the entire database?
I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf

Hi
I'm making my first commissioned database and I can't get my head around auto-lookups.
At the moment, I'm only working with tables because I want everything properly formatted and working at the table stage before I move on to making my forms, queries, reports, and eventually the switchboard.
What I want to do is when I call up a particular ID number in a table which has corresponding data in another table, I want the corresponding data, such as names and phone numbers, to come up automatically within the table.
My database has about eight tables in it and all are linked in someway, either because I need to create lookups, or because they will eventually be subforms.
So what I need is for someone to explain an easy way to get the tables to do what I want. I've looked up the Dlookup function in Access Help but it didn't make sense :confused:
Can someone help me please? I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hello!
In my form I have the title of a CD which is under the name of 'CD_Title' which is taken from my CD's table and I was wondering how to show it up in a Label so when I flick through the albums the Label changes to the album that it is selected!
I need to know...please help me!
:(
I'm having a total brain freeze here.
Last week, I posted for help getting an email (with attachments) sent from inside an Access database.
With some help from my friends here, I fought through the issues and got the code in the module to work, when tested from the immediate window.
Problem is, I can't figure out how to tie it to a macro or event or anything else that will let me push a button and have it run.
I need nuts and bolts details--- how do I run this module?

Hello all,
I have a front end/back end app in AccessXP/Sql Server. I have a master version of the front end on my pc, and each user has a copy on their pc.
Everything works fine. I wanted to go the last step in securing the project, so I converted to an MDE. Now, on some of the other PC's, any field in a form that has "NOW()" as the default value (unbound fields) displays the #NAME? error.
Any idea why it would work fine in a .MDB, but not in an .MDE?
Thanks

I have 3 tables with which i want to extract columns from each of them and place them into a new table. The problem i have is that none of the tables share a common member. each table contains the same amount o rows spo when outputted to the new table will match up

I'm attempting to set up a junction table.
The help for junctions says to make a compound key in the junction table, but I don't understand the intructions for this. Do they mean make all three of ID's the junction table PK's or is there a literal "Make a Compound Key"
button somewhere?
Currently, the table has an AutoIncrementing field as the PK and the two FK's copied in from the Primaries (converted from Auto to Number). As a result, I can only make one-to-one relationships to the junction table.
Please let me know what it is I am missing here.
Thanks
Hi
How to create new table from other with vba when the one table has records and the key record must be transferred to the new table.
Thanks
I have this query:
SELECT testScreen, Count(ID) AS testCount FROM SERPTestInput GROUP BY testScreen
It returns a count for each testScreen that appears in the table.
Then this query returns the same thing except it joins another table and adds the criteria that the status for the record must be successful.
SELECT testScreen, Count(testID) AS myCount FROM Results RIGHT JOIN SERPTestInput ON (SERPTestInput.ID=Results.testID AND Results.testStatus = 'Successful') GROUP BY testScreen
So both queries currently generate an 8 row table with the first column being the testScreen and the second being a count. I would like to somehow combine the two so I get a three column, 8 riow table. Column 1 would still be the testScreen, column 2 the total count for each testScreen and column 3 would be the successful count for each test screen.
In short, can the above two queries be combined into one?
I have a little problem with making a query and would need your help.
I have the following temporary table that gets filled automatically with 2 records every day:
DATE | TIME | NAME | CODE
The first record will have the DATE, TIME, NAME ( always the same ) and the CODE that can be START or STOP.
What i need, is to put the 2 records from the same day in a single row to get something like that:
NAME | DATE_START | TIME_START | DATE_STOP | TIME_STOP | NAME
Until now i was able to make 2 different queries. One can give me the START info's, the other one the STOP info's.
My question is if there is a possibility to combine those 2 queries or to make one query to get the result i need.
if i do 2 at a time it wont work
but 1 at a time works, why is that?????
insert into room values ('00012','1A','B','120','00002','Sports Hall','N','0');
insert into room values ('00013','1B','B','20','00002','Changing Rooms','N','0');
Somebody please give me an answer
Hi again everyone,
I'm stumped again.
I have two tables that my query is looking at.
1. tblProgramActByDay
And the other is:
2. tblProgramByProductByDay
I’m trying to tell the query to
A: Look in the Program ID Field
B: if the Program ID Field = 1667100
C: Go to the table tblProgramByProductByDay
---- In that table look for the criteria---
The Field Program ID must = 0
The Field Product ID must = 38648800
The Field Locale must = en_US
The Field Report_Date must = The Current Month
If it does
Total the amount in the Sales Field from the table tblProgramByProductByDay
If not
Take the total sales for the current month from the table tblProgramActByDay
I have 2 tables: first table has 4 columns:
/job code/project1/project2/project3/
job code is some digits, and in next columns are the job description (different for each project).
The second table has
/project name/job code/description/working hours/date/
I made the query what shows how many working hours was consumed for each project monthly
and my working codes, but I would like to have job descriptions after job code, If its project1
then the description should be taken from first table from the column "project1". Is it possible to do it with
query?
I belive I have done this before but I cant remember how!
I have a continuos form with two text boxes on it and a check box.
I am trying to say if text box1 = "1" then text box 2 is visible if text box 1 = 2 then text box 2 is invisible. I am doing this on a tick box (for other reasons) so my code looks like this:
If Me.Text1 = "1" Then
Me.Text2.Visible = True
End If
If Me.Text1 = "2" Then
Me.Text2.Visible = False
End If
It works, kind of. The trouble is because its a continuous form all the Text2 boxes become visible or invisible depending rather than just the one record i'm working on. Is there a soloution to this?
I haven't used Access in a looooong time and building a document tracking database for work. I am setting up my data entry form and would like to have a text box appear depending on the selection from a combo box. So, if the user selects "In Review" a text box will appear for entry of the reviewer's name, likewise if the user selects, "In Work." In the other cases (options in the combo box) the document is not being revised, so no name needs to be entered--so no need for the additional text box. Make sense? Any guidance/advice as to how to go about this? Thank you!

What I would like to know is, how to make an Option Group that allows for multiple choices instead of one. MS explains in detail for a single choice only, or you can use their Option Group Wizard (again single choice)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm upgrading a form that was designed a while ago (not by me). It has various text boxes/combo boxes/etc. and one tab control that has 3 pages (TabCtl87). It works fine, I want to leave it there. My goal is to create another tab control on this form with two pages. One will include combo boxes and (hopefully) TabCtl87, which are already on the form. The other will have a new subform.
My problem is this: I set up the new tab control and cut and paste the combo boxes and TabCtl87 on the first page. When I click on the second page, which is where I want to put my subform, TabCtl87 still shows up!
I tried:
Me.TabCtl87.Visible = False
in the On Click event of the tab on my second page.
But it won't go away!
I also tried embedding my subform over top of the dreaded TabCtl87, but the tabs show through and make a mess of everything.
This is the first time I've delved into the world of Tab Controls and it's ruining my day (several days, actually).
Thank you!
Hello all,
I am looking to make my company's access database (forms, reports, etc) available through a web server. Any idea what type of programming will be needed (ASP, JSP, PHP)? What would be the best way to go about this? If there is anyone that can help me with this please let me know. I am willing to compensate them for their time and help. It should be a fun project.
Thanks,

I am importing information from a proprietary db that I can only get into excel. So I linked this spreadsheet to an acces table so that when the proprietary db updated the excel, the access table that I linked it to would also be updated.
I have made a few other tables in the same access that I would like to have a relationship with the linked table, making the linked table the one of the one to many.
Access will not let me assign a primary key to the linked table. When i form a relationship between the linked table and the new tables I have created, it says indeterminate relationship and will not let me change it to a one to many.
I have 3 tables.
1. Bulding numbers....1 to 15
2. Rooms....each bldg. has 22 rooms so altogether 650 rooms
3. Maintenance work...for each room every maintenance work
Now I need form where by choosing room# I can found what work was done.
I would post a file but it excedees 100kb
thank you
