I have never used wizards with access (or anything else for that matter). What is general view? Are they actually good news or do they get binned with witches and warlocks? I could use some of the techniques involved but where does one find an intro - preferably using access.
I'm somewhat new to Access, so I'm using the wizards to get me started to make forms and reports.
When you first click on the "Create Form by Using Wizard" it asks you to select the fields you want to use from the selected Table or Query. Unfortunately no fields show in the "Available fields" box.
I know I have fields in each table or query. I even tried to make a dummy table using their field names incase mine contained invalid characters.
I've tried it in both the Form wizard and the Report wizard.
The fields of all the tables and queries used to show up when I first install Access.
What am I doing wrong? Should I try to reinstall the program?
Hi, when designing reports or forms, when I pressing the toolbox icon, it would depress, but no toolbox was visible. I tried resetting the toolbox (through view/toolbars) and I set all of the settings back to default. I even uninstalled and reinstalled MS Access several times but no luck. Any help please.
Recently I lost the the functionality of the toolbox then shortly after I lost the toolbox icon completely. The only way to use the features was to create an new toolbar. System Restore finally fixed the problem. This has happened twice on me with the 200 and 2003 versions. Is it me? and is there an easier way to sort this. Reinstalling Access never cured the problem either.
I need to add a Form to an Access database designed by others. In the form design view, there is no toolbox shown . If I go to View menu, toolbox is greyed out.
Can anyone please advise how to locate the toolbox?
I'm working on a user's database that needs some cleaning up; however, when I go into the "View" menu, the option to use the Toolbar is greyed out and I therefore can't utilize the Toolbar.
What do I have to do in order to have use of the Toolbar?
In Microsoft Access 2000 I'm getting the following error message when I click on visual basic Event Procedure for the first time.
"There are no registered wizards of this type." "Rerun Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office Setup to reinstall the wizards. If you want to preserve your security or custom settings, back up the 'workgrp file name here' workgroup information file. For more information on backing up files, search the Microsoft Windows Help Index for 'backing up files'."
After I click OK on the error it goes back to Access. If I click the event procedure again visual basic opens up though VB the screen isn't what it suppose to be. The Object and Procedure pull downs at the top of the page disappear behind my toolbars and I can't get it to setup correctly. If I try to maneuver them correctly they still don't line up. This error seems to be messing that screen up.
This is only happening in one of my databases. In my other database the Object and Procedure pull downs at the top of the page are coming up correctly. If I start a new database that works fine too. I'm not sure why its doing it only on this database
I'm worried my VB is corrupted. Looking for any insight on what caused this and how to fix this.
i am using MS Access 2010, i am on initial stage and i have to made main log in form or switch board, but as soon i create a blank form and click on button in design but only command button appeared but not along with command buttong wizards so i will select button to close application or to open a farm and so
I am going crazy!!. I want to use .jpg images in my Access Form (Access 2003). All the tutorials and forums talk about using Image Control to display .jpg images. But I can't find the Image Control on the toolBox??? Where is the Image Control?? I am currently useing Unbound Image Control but that only allows me to display .bmp images.
The problem occurs on a WinXP machine with Access 97.
When Access is run as a Power User everything works fine but when it runs under a user account that is a standard "User" non of the wizards function properly.
By changing some file permissions I can get the control, form and report wizards to work but the Import Data wizard still fails.
I'm sure this is a permissions issue and can be fixed by changing the security settings for some registry keys or files, but have no idea which ones.
:confused: The View>Toolbox menu item is grayed out on an Access 2003 database I am using yet it is visible if I start a new database. So the problem seems specific to the db - can anyone help me out?
I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.
The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?
I have an Access 2010 database with two tables and two forms. The tables are Organizations and People. Similarly, the forms are Organizations Entry Form and PeopleEntryForm. The People are linked to the Organizations table. Several people can be linked to the same organization.On my Organizations EntryForm, I created a command button to duplicate a record using the wizard. It works fine.
I did exactly the same thing on the PeopleEntryForm, but instead of copying the record, it creates a new blank record. I don't get any error messages. Is my problem due to the fact that the People table is linked to the Organizations table?
I have 2 computers (computer 1 with Office XP and computer 2 with Office XP SP1). An MDE file created from an MDB file on computer 1 will not work on computer 2 (run time error), but an MDE file created on computer 2 also does not work on computer 1 (error message was "database corrupted").
Does anyone know why and what I can do to make the MDE work on both machines?
Hi. I have got a small database, I have split it into front and back end. I then try to make an MDE out of the front end and after going to tools>db utilities>make MDE file, i got the save as box open up and i pressd save to my desktop,the box disappears and the screen is just blank(like there is no database file has been open,at the bottom of Access it says Make MDE/ADE. And it just crashes.. it doesnt come up with any errors. If anyone has any information pleeeeeaaaseee help.......
My Combo Box works and displays new entries in text boxes in my form. The selection appears in every record. I would like the selection to be stored only in the displayed record and not for each and every record. Any ideas?
My combo box works on an existing query( Qry1). I would like the data from my query (Qry1) to be displayed in the record (in Form1) which I am viewing. When I go onto a new record (IN Form1) I would like to make a new selection from my query (Qry1) and then store these details in the new record in Form1.
This seems so simple, but, being a novice, I'm scratching my head.
I'm using an unbound text box in the form footer to sum the value of a column in the form ( =Sum([LineTotal]) ). [LineTotal] evaluates correctly, yet the sum is always #ERROR. Is there something I am missing, or am I correct in thinking that this should work?
I open a form that is bound to a linked SQL table. On that form a have a list box that shows a series of records based on a query. The listbox DOES contain the PK field "Record_date" in its query.
I am expecting that if I click on a given record in the list box the form would change to that matching record. What am I doing wrong ?
List box code:
Private Sub List212_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rst As Object Set rst = Me.Recordset.Clone rst.FindFirst "[Record_date] = #" & Format(Me![List212], "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#" If Not rst.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End Sub
If I change the form record and click the list box, its always takes me back to the 1st record - not the matching record selected in the form.
Hy,i've got three tables: products: product_id,product_name months: month_id,name_of_month calculations: calculations_id,month_id,amount
Also have this query:
SELECT DISTINCTROW products.product_name, Sum(calculations.amount) AS [Sum Of amount] FROM products INNER JOIN calculations ON products.product_id=calculations.product_id WHERE calculations.month_id in (forms!frmMyForm!txtMyTextbox.value) GROUP BY products.product_name;
My problem lies in this part of query : WHERE calculations.month_id in (forms!frmMyForm!txtMyTextbox.value).
I've got problem when i want to get values from my textbox on my form. If i instead (forms!frmMyForm!txtMyTextbox.value) put (1,2) my query works fine,but when i wanna get this same values from textbox on my form it returns me an error. I have also noticed one more thing:If i put in my textbox just value 1 it works fine,but if i use more values separeted by comma instead of result it returns me an error. Why is this,and how to avoide this problem? Thanks!

My debug message says
Microsoft can not find the field 'l' referred to in your expression.
For osme reason this MS Access database I'm working on will not let me debug it. First off, even if I mistype a variable name it is not breaking and giving me an error message. I checked and I do have 'Option Explicit' set as well as "Error Trapping - Break on All Errors" in the Tools - Options - General.
Also, when I set a breakpoint in my code, it doesn't work either.
Our database is 1.6gb in size. It has stopped working, is there a way to delete old records? We are told it will crash the computer, because access needs the same space as the data its self. Any ideas? Thank you for your time in reading this post
