Hey Guys and Gals,
I have a form that has a drop-down box. When the form opens, all the records are shown. Once a name is selected from the drop-down, only the records associated with that name are shown (a filter is created using code). The problem is that once the selection is made, I am unable to edit the records. I try to click in the fields but am unable to.
Any ideas? Thanks
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] ....
We are using access 97 and I have a linked table to sql 2000. A couple of weeks ago, our sql server crashed and we had to completely rebuild it / restore all of the data. Ever since then, only one of our linked sql tables in access is acting up. Whenever we go to edit a line (sometimes, not always), we get an error which states the following:
This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes.
Options are Save Record (greyed out), Copy to Clipboard, and Drop Changes.
About all I have tried is re-linking the table...any other ideas?
I have setup a ComboBox on a form, Listed the PK of the table as the control source. Inserted the PK and many other field as the row source. When I go to select a record I get the error "control can not be edited, it's bound to a auto number field, "Asset_ID"

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Union query that is linked into about 10 different excel spreadsheets on our drive and it pulls back only 3 columns of data (Document Number, Date Registered and Date Implemented). I then have another report which refers to the results of this query and does its own thing from thereon.
Here is a sample of the SQL:
SELECT CINT(RIGHT(RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM RT_01000;
UNION SELECT CINT(RIGHT(CC_RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], CC_RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], CC_RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM CC_RT_01000;
My Issue:
As it is above, the query will run, but we end up with duplicate numbers in the "Document Number". It only brings back the final 5 digits from each of these files and ignores the differenciating part of the number, the "CC_RT_" or the "RT_". This causes huge issues in the file which then goes onto use these results afterwards.
My Plan: (failed)
I thought I could simply update the "5" to an "11" to catch anything named "RT_00001" and also "CC_RT_00001" serperately so I can clearly see which is which without any duplicates. However, I recieve the below error when doing so:
"Data type mismatch in criteria expression".
I've been playing with this for hours and unfortunately many many reports reply on these results being correct. It is also not possible to change the names of the RT and CC_RT files that it links into.
I have a user that is unable to edit records, He can click in the fields but he could not delete or enter data in the fields. He has the ability to edit records but its fields are locked. I created a split database and created a secure front which I distributed it to multiple uses. The other users front end is working fine, expect for the one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPROCESS AS DESIGNED: The user logs in and is given a form displaying existing records that are coded (by userid) for that user to update. From that list, the user selects a record and continues to a second form (the first form closes) which displays all the fields of the selected record which should/can be edited by the user (plus a few non-editable key fields). There is nothing tricky to how the records are selected for display. A simple query behind the first form selects data records using the userID number. The second form does a simple record select using the active record ID number on the first form. Nothing tricky -- no modules just queries, tables, forms and simple macros to string it all together.
The user can open/close these two forms as often as necessary and the record will continue to show up until a value is entered into a "completion date" field. When that field is no longer blank, the record will no longer be displayed for use.
PROBLEM: About 90% of the time, things work as expected. But 10-15% of the time, somewhere between opening the record in the second form and closing the second form, the edited record totally disappears (as if it were never opened, it isn't even system date stamped) and the input information is inserted instead into a brand new record.
Users can sometimes tell when the edit record is dropped during processing, because key fields displaying previously entered data go blank and the displayed recordID (autonumber) is changed. p>
ERROR PATTERN: NONE! It can happen as the edit record is first opening, in the middle of editing the form, or at the end when closing the form. It will happen on a specific PC 2 times in a row and the third time be fine. It has happened at multiple locations but not for all people and not consistently for the same person/same pc. The same record that failed can be re-selected and work just fine the next time.
I cannot reproduce the error myself. I have tested everything I can think of without causing the error. I can lose changes and avoid a system date stamp if I abort my Access sesssion, but that doesn't create/insert a new record with my new input. It just loses everything.
I have wondered if a momentary break in the network/communications could break the connection to the application to just enough that the form remains on the screen, but selected record is discarded. Input into the empty form would/does insert a new record.
I have asked the IT Operations group to investigate if a network/communication problem could be the culprit, but they haven't gotten far on this. I have never seen this happen before and am totally stumped but am desperate to resolve it before user confidence is damaged.
I have a form that using "Query A" as data source. The Form need add (edit) a field value before save that Query Result to another Tabel. Is it possible to do that?
The PROCESS simply like below: Tabel A --> Query A --> Form -->Edit value a field -->Save to Tabel B
if it is possible, are there some requirements that have to be fullfilled?
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
I have a table called tblFinishedGoods. There are 3 fields in the table:Serial Number, Model Number and Location.
I would like to have a form that will take input from my barcode reader and input the data for the 3 fields, if the serial number is not already in the table.(I have this already working).
But now I would like the same form to also check the table for any serial number that is scanned in...and if it is in the table already, have it bring up the model number and location for that record.
I'm thinking maybe there is something I can do with Serial Number afterupdate. Basically I'm looking for a way to not require the user to input anything via a mouse or keyboard.
If the 1 form could accept the 3 scans:Serial Number,Model Number and Location, and either 1)enter a new record if that serial number isnt in the table or 2)find that the serial number already exists and overwrite the model number and location with whatever the next 2 scans are.
Thanks
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 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 There,
I have a form 'Players' which has a field called Contact. When adding a new record to the Players form, the user has to select an existing contact or add a new one (they cant just type in a name).
(There is a contacts table)
So, i want a button next to the contacts field.I want it to:
1. If there is already a contact selected on the form, the contacts form open at this contact, so can be edited.
2. If there is no contact selected, the button will take the user to the contacts form, but will display the first record in the contacts table. From here the user can select the contact they want.
This is what i have (code below). With this code, if there is a contact already entered, the contacts form loads with that contact select, which is correct. However, if no contact has been selected, the contacts form opens with a blank record; whereas i want it to open at first record!

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 have been using my db for 3 years without this particular problem: I am now unable to add records to one of my tables - either through the form or in datasheet view. I have a patient table and a visit table. I put in the patient data using a form and then go to the visit form to add all of the visits for the month. I have never had a problem adding data to any of my tables but now I am unable to add data to the visit table. As much as I didn't want to I brought up last month's back up to enter the patients again. Before I did I checked to see if I could add visits - I could not. So I checked January's back up - same issue. I made no changes to the db before trying to add a visit .
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I Built a form with a selectbox. On each form there a several records shown. After each record you see a selectbox wich you can turn on and off. Now, everytime I click on a selectbox it automatically goes to the first record on the screen, why is that? With this action I want the currentrecord to be modified, but can't figure out how.
I think it has something to do that an 'edit mode' is selected.
Does anyone know how? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I'm new user here and I use Microsoft Access 2003 for my applications.
I use an mdb on a server (datas) and form on station over the network (application).
I would like to lock the record edit by user when this user press "modify" button and unlock the record when this user press "save" button to avoid with the other users modifying the recording.
Is it possible and how ?
Thanks for your answer.
I have a form based on a query that selects only the people working in a single office, and displays
various personnel data items. All of the data is contained in a single table. Whenever I update
any of the data in the form, I get a message saying that another user edited and saved the data
before I edited the data. Its rother annoying, and I can't figure out why it is happening.
The form is bound to the query, and a list box contains the names of the folks. A subform contains
the personnel data, and the two are connected by the primary key.
I'm trying to add hidden information to a record and need to know the best way to do it.
I have a visible table that all users enter data into using a form.
I also have a hidden table that contains 2 fields "linked Table ID" and "notes"
I have a box at the top right of my form which is white (I also have a white background so it's impossible to see).
When you click the box it changes a textbox on my form visible property from false to true.
then I plan to use a separate button that the user currently uses to save a record to store ID number and hidden textbox information in the hidden table but I'm sure how to do this.
Finally I will use a hidden query which will display all the fields from both tables using the linked Table ID from the hidden table and ID field from the non hidden table.
So i have 2 questions:
1 how do I save information the user entered into a form created from one table into a different (hidden) table
2. Is this the right approach to this problem?
I have a form that assigns an Auto Reference Number to each record. Now the records are later edited. Is there a way that I can have the user enter the Reference number and come directly to that particular record that needs to be changed in the form. Like a dialog box that asks Enter Reference Number or something.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to set up a form that allows you to enter a unique number for a record and then automatically change the value for one or more fields in that record.
I have a large number of records that I only need to add values to two fields so am looking to make a shorter form with the ultimate ail of doing this with a barcode reader.
I thought I could just add a line like:
Me.controlvaluetochangename.Value = "newvalue"
to and event property like after update and it would change the name for that record. Instead it created a new record with that value.
How do I go about changing the existing value?
Thanks
I have inherited a partially completed membership Access database which I
understand was originally generated from a load of linked FoxPro tables.
There is a form which uses multiple tabs, the first tab contains general
membership data (ie name, age etc) and this pulls data through from the
'Main' table in the database. Each of the other tabs includes a subform which
shows data held in a number of different tables linked to the 'Main' table
(eg, first tab - general data from 'Main table', 2nd tab - home addreses
from 'Home Address' table, 3rd tab - business addresses from 'Business
Address' table). All tables are linked to the 'Main' table through a common
'RegisterID' field. When I open the form I can query on any of the records
and amend and items of data on the various tabs them without any problem.
However if I add a new record using the >* option from the record navigation
I can add data to the first tab (ie. into the 'Main' table) but if I move to
the 2nd or 3rd tab I am unable to edit/add data to the fields on those tabs.
But if I save the record after completing the fields on the first tab and
then close the form and reopen it I can then edit the 2nd and 3rd tabs, can
you suggest how I can change the setup to allow editing/adding data to the
2nd and 3rd tabs without having to close the form and reopen it please. I
have checked the subforms and they are set to AllowEdit and there are NoLocks.
I have the following code on a combo box in a form that creates a new record in the table Products if it doesn't already exist:
Code:Private Sub comProduct_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer) Dim strSQL As String 'Exit this sub if the combo box is cleared If NewData = "" Then Exit Sub strSQL = "Insert Into Products ([Product]) " & _"values ('" & NewData & "');" CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError Response = acDataErrAdded End Sub
It creates a new record and inputs the appropriate value into the Product field, however then it goes to the next record and when I try to edit other fields, it does so on a new record.
So, for example, I wanted to set the Product field to ProductA and the Brand field to BrandB and the Size field to 200, it produces two separate records like this (code box used for formatting):
Code:Product | Brand | Size |ProductA BrandB 200
I tried to follow the Allen Brown print the current record in the form and its not coming up. I can print all of the records but not the current.
