Unable To Save Changes
Dec 1, 2014
The Word attachment describes recent problems I have encountered, most significantly, the inability to save changes on certain forms. the questions, listed at the end of the document, are:
a) How can I identify which objects are corrupt other than assuming it is only those that wont save changes?
b) What is the best way to overcome the inability to make form changes on certain forms and reports?
c) How or can I continue to use the Students Extended query with different criteria for different forms, other queries or reports. Can I create (advanced) filter queries and use as a record source for each as needed?
d) Do the messages about the PC making changes or placing the database in states have any bearing and why is that happening?
e) What causes and how can I prevent messages that fields could refer to more than table (see 2, D, vi)?

Hi,
I have two possibly related things that have recently begun happening in nearly all of my databases. (Access 2002, Windows XP)
1. For years I have been using shortcut command lines like the following to open my databases:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp d:databasesPCAMain97sys.mdw m:pcamainpublicaccess2002frontendsvikchamaster setupwheel.mdb /excl
All of my databases use the same mdw file. Up until recently this command line has always prompted me for my login and password. Now, it doesn't. Not only that, but once I'm in the database, if I go to tools-security-workgroup adminstrator, the indication is that I am NOT joined to the PCAMain97sys.mdw workgroup that I requested.INstead I remain joined to whichever workgroup I was in before; it's like hte /wkrgrp command line option now has no effect.
2. From file-database properties, I try to change the title of the database. But I get error "..unable to save the database properties". Web search shows this is probably db corruption, but... on every one of my databases???
OK, upon reading what I just wrote, it seems likely that my mdw file is corrupted....? Any other ideas?

I have a problem where a user (with what I believe are the proper security settings) cannot save a new record in a form. I have set the securities on the form and the related table and query to allow this user to create new records (Add/Run).
This user is able to access the form and enter the data, but it will not save. I have added a "Save" button to no avail.
When I log on as the administrator, it works fine.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I want to save my report as excel file on the user computer with a click of a button. I have tried this code:
Private Sub Cmd_ReporttoExcel_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Gastrolog Report", acFormatXLS, "C:UsersXXDocuments" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
End Sub
But it is giving error 2282 - The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not available.
The other part of this question is :
This is something similar when I didn't have "PDF add in " in access 2007, when I added PDF add in then option to save file in PDF was available in "output to" action of macro. There is nothing like excel add in. However when I can export the data in excel sheet by Export function in access why don't I have option to save file as excel in "output to " action in macro? I want to have this option so that user can click a button in the form rather than in the top ribbon try to find out how to transfer and save the excel sheet.

My database was working fine. Now, if I have to save or edit a record, I get a message Run time error 2107. The value you entered does not meet the validation rule defined for the field or control. I am able to enter and edit new records in the table. I did not change any validation in form. Then it goes to debug mode and highlighted this code (me.recordsource=Listsql - is highlighted)
Private Sub ListSearch_Click()
Dim dBS As Database
Dim Rst As Recordset
Dim Listsql As String
Set dBS = CurrentDb()
Listsql = "Select * from MasterData where employeeid ='" & [Forms]![MASTERFORM]![ListSearch] & "'"
[Code] ....

I've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.
Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.
It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.
Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.
I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.

I have a database set thus
Clients (the main form)
ClientsID (PK)
blah blah
Information and Referral (a check box)
blah blah
blah blah
ClientIR (the form that opens up when I & R is checked)
IR ID (PK)
ClientsID (FK to the above form)
Requests (a lookup referencing to IRCategory)
The code is set up so when the I R box is checked, form will open, and unchecking it will delete the I R record of that Client.
The problem is when the IR Box is already open, the request has been selected, I cannot save it as Access says a record is required in the Clients form. There are only two buttons, one goes on to next requests (one client can have more than one requests), other saves and closes.
The Client form is already coded so it will save the Client's record before opening the IR Form, and either button will save the IR record as well.
I had referential intergrity turned on. Turning it off only gave me weird results (I was able to input records, but Access didn't autofill the ClientID in the IR records, and looking at Clients returns a blank IR record)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.

I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?

Hello everyone,
Can anyone help?
I have a data entry form via which I want to add records to a table. However, when I've entered data in the last field, the cursor remains there and the system just beeps. I added a command button on the form to go to a new record but when I click on the button i get the following message:-
You can't go to the specified record
You may be at the end of a recordset
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Created three tables and one linking table, created two queries linked to a form to display the results and have now setup the code to display details. Next step to create a form to add a new record to the database.
Initially I used the form wizard, dragged the fields in and then viewed the form to see if I could add a record.However the new record button at the bottom is greyed out.I checked the Form properties and allow editions, deletions and edits are all set to yes.the source for the form is:
Code:
SELECT [tblGraves].[Plot], [tblGraves].[GraveNo], [tblGraves].[GraveID], [tblDeceased].[Forenames],
[tblDeceased].[Surname], [tblDeceased].[DayOfDeath], [tblDeceased].[MonthOfDeath],
[tblDeceased].[YearOfDeath], [tblDeceased].[DayOfBurial], [tblDeceased].[MonthOfBurial],
[tblDeceased].[YearOfBurial], [tblDeceased].[Age], [tblDeceased].[pp], [tblDeceased].[Notes],
[Code] .....
and it is a dynaset record set type.So I thought ( dangerous I know) use a query, I created the query setup the joins etc etc.I double clicked on the query and all my records were listed, I then selected the new record and the bottom but that is greyed out as well.

I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once i get something working in the latter, I import it into the former. This has been working fine for just over two months.
Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:
"The search key was not found in any Record"
"No current record"
I'm unable to import the form.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hi,
I'm using A2003 to try and create an mde file but it is not playing ball. The mdb is compiling fine with no errors but when I click on "make mde file" and supply the path/filename, Access appears to try to open the mdb again and prompts me with a security warning saying that 'opening this type of file may be harmful.....etc'. The mde does not get created. Any ideas?

I have a database that has been working properly for months...however, suddenly I am unable to add records to a number of my tables.
Each of 10 tables are related to a main table with a 1 to 1 relationship - the relationships have not changed.
Can anyone think of any table setting which I may have inadvertantly changed that would prevent additional records from being added?
I am still able to add to the main table and I have added several new tables also with a 1 to 1 relationship with the main table that are all working fine.
Thanks!

Hi everyone
I have a database that I built myself and use on a daily bases for keeping track of customers and there service records for a small sized plumbing and drainage firm. The database has a function that is designed to automatically search for upcoming boiler services that are due or over due which works fine, However we use acronym's to describe some routine jobs such as B/S (Boiler Service) or H/R (Heating repairs) which speeds up data entry. The problem is that Access refuses to search for the acronym's, I have tried basic text search critera's which brings up full words fine such as "Smith".
Is there a way of searching for the acronym's like B/S?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The main form in my database is giving me an error message to say "The form name is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist" when I try to open it, despite the fact that I can see it there. If I try to change its name it says "save operation failed". Does anyone have any idea what this could be before I recreate the form?
Thanks very much for any help.
