Extra Mdb File Created
Jan 1, 2006Hi All,
For some strange reason, a replica db is being created along side the original. I don't believe it's a back up since the name back_up usually appears in the file name. I've seen it happen once when the proper mdb file was opened and then noticed the new db was created (always called db1.mdb). It's a permanent file mdb file and not the record locking icon. I remember over the summer someone posted a similar problem but I haven't been able to locate that thread. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Reports :: Exiting A Report When There Is No Data
Aug 11, 2014I've got a database written in Access 2010 that shows many reports. When the report is selected and data is available, it is shown as a full screen preview with the print dialog box displayed over it. However, I am having a problem in that when there is no data, a message box is displayed that's invoked from the 'on no data' setting but when it's dismissed the report is still displaying. How do I prevent this from happening?
View 8 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Update Field On Exiting A Record
Jul 11, 2013I need to update a field with the contents of 2 other fields when exiting a record. The fields (ItemNo) and (LotID) need to create or update the field (LotCode).
i.e.: ItemID (GM-235), LotID (26) will result in LotCode (GM-235-26).
I currectly use a Update Query that uses the expression:
[products].[MasterPN] & "-" & [lotid] in the lotCode Field - "Update to".
Unfortunatly, I am using a button on my form that executes the query, but it updates all the records and although it runs very fast, I would rather have it perform this task automatically when I leave the record.
Forms :: Requery Subform After Exiting Popup
Aug 3, 2014I have my main form which is f_main.
On there is a Subform called subfrmFront and that has a source object of the form f_front
A button on f_main opens up a popup. In this popup, the fields I am updating all relate to the same records that are being displayed in the subform. Everything updates OK in the popup (i.e I can see in the table that the updated information is in there), but the subform back on f_main still has the old data in it.
I need to requery that subform to show the new data I just inputted.
If I close f_main and re-open it, the latest data is in there, but surely there is a way to make sure it updates on the close of the popup form.

I have a main menu form that opens up when opening Access.What I'm thinking is have some vba in the OnLoad Event of the main menu that Grabs the User and Time and track this to a table.When the database closes(Is there an OnDatabaseClose Event?), I'd like to track the User and time as well.
LogID(Autonumber)

Synopsis - After A DB Is Created
Mar 27, 2008I am trying to understand what’s next after a database is created (meaning it is functioning, but not ready for multi-user environment and not secured yet). By reading various postings and some articles, it seems these are the key steps I need to follow in order to have a database ready to go.
1. Once the database is ready and tested (at this point I am the only user and have full privileges to the database), I need to do the split – front end/back end (by using Access split wizard).
2. Then I save the back end on a shared drive to which the respective users will have access.
3. Next I secure the back end.
4. Then I create users group(s), and assign user ID/password for every user.
5. I install the front end to every user’s PC so they can begin to use it (not sure how to do that - some help is appreciated here!)
Is this close to what the process would be (even very oversimplified) or I am too far from the truth?! :confused:
Thank you in advance!

Should Forms Always Be Created From Queries
Jul 1, 2005I've read quite a few posts and noticed that quite a few people have said that forms should be created from queries. Is this personal preference or a must.
Like I said on a previous post I am going on a one day Access soon, so maybe I should stop reading and playing until I have completed that, but my mind is running away with what I want to do.

Adding To Already Created Data
Jan 28, 2007Hi folks
I have just devised a simply database but as usual when using it I found that I had left out some information.
To simplify - I could for example, make a drop down menu with the letters a-z but when finished realised that I had left out the letters K, L & R. How do I insert the missing data into the already created list?
Thanks for your help

Table Created By Files
Feb 23, 2007I'm using access2003 and i want to organize a large amount of files in my company. There are thousands of files and I'm breaking the files up based on the dates. I want to create a table that automatically looks in each folder and links the job file with the job folder. This way I can create a custom query so a user just types in the job name and it will display what folder it is in. Can anyone out there help? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedSaving SQL Created On The Fly As A Query
Mar 4, 2006Hi...
I am relatively new to access.
I have spent a few days coding a database search page consisting of various comboboxes and textboxes. the user can select or enter data in these and when he/she clicks the search button an SQL select statement is generated on the fly and updates an existing query and this is used to query the database. I want to be able to give the user the option to save the query he/she generates and reuse it. How can I prompt him for a name and turn the SQL string strSQL that he has generated into a query and save it for later use?
Any help greatly appreciated..thanks
Reset Created Autonumber
Jan 28, 2005I have two fields
1. Month (date field that shows only the current month only, ex: 04)
2. ItemNumber (created autonumber using =Dmax("ID","Table")+1 to retrieve the number from the previous record)
What I would like to do is everytime the current month changes I want the ItemNumber to reset to one.
I tried an If statement in the on current of the form
If Month <> Date() Then
ItemNumber = 1
Else
ItemNumber = Null
However it resets for every new record created, which by the code makes sense. Is there any way to have do this one time until the change of date or is there another way to go?
Created Linking Table
Mar 12, 2013I have a database with the following tables (among others):
tbl_Projects
tbl_Staff
tbl_ProjectsStaff
tbl_Payroll
tbl_Training
tbl_Clients
tbl_ProjectClients
tbl_ClientContracts
tbl_CostEstimates
As you can see I created two linking tables (project/staff and project/client).After that I linked other tables to the liking table. For example, tbl_Payroll and tbl_Training are linked to the tbl_ProjectStaff primary key.
I don't know much about access so I wanted to check if this is a correct design. I create forms that work well, but I noticed that the linking table doesn't have any data in it. The payroll table and the training table have the staff iDs and Project IDs but the tbl_ProjectStaff is empty.
Linking Tables W/automatically Created Value
Nov 22, 2005Don't know where this question will rank. Completely weird or completely common.
I've been getting great suggestions from this forum, one of them was to begin creating seperate tables for our data (I'm currently cleaning up a mess created 10 years ago for a nonprofit). The best way I have found to link/associate/whatever tables is to use their STUDENT identification number (since this value never changes). So we linked tests to that number (many tests to each student) by entering each new test as a seperate item with a manually entered stu id. We linked TUTOR and so forth the same way. But now I would like to start linking some more things. Particularly INSTRUCTION HOURS.
The question I have is this. How do I automatically create a value in the HOURS table that links to the value (stu id) in the STUDENT table. So that every student (previous and new) will have ONE associated HOURS set each time new student data is entered.

How To Add Fields To A Table After A Form Has Been Created.
Feb 24, 2006Anybody able to help me with this. I think there should be a simple solution to it, but it eludes me at the moment. Basically, I have created a form in MsAccess with alot of vb script on it, but
now I realise that I have to add more fields to the source table.
If I insert a new unbound text box onto the form, how do i bind it to
the new field in the source table. is there a formula that I should
use? When I look at the dropdown in the control source property, it
only gives me the fields that were in existense at the time the form
was created?
your help appreciated

Forms Created From Starting A New Switchboard
May 13, 2006This is probably elementary, but I'm entirely lost. Here's my issue:As most of you probably know, when first creating a switchboard in a database will automatically create a form based on it.Somehow I managed to delete that form, and have no idea how to make a new one with the same default switchboard format (where command buttons are automatically generated, and there's a default title label with the shadow effect, etc.)I thought I might try to just delete the switchboard and create a new one so that another form would be created, but it won't let me delete the switchboard!If I understand correctly, I have to create a switchboard without any other switchboards already existing for Access to create a related form for me. Any suggestions?
