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 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 ODBC linked tables to a DB2 database.When I try to edit the values in some of the tables (open the table in dataview and edit one record) I get a 3021 Error -No current record.On other tables (linked the same way) I don't get this error
If I try the update by running a query on the same table, I get no errors.
The system I have is a german Access 2010 on german WinXP and a connection to DB2 LUW v9.7
Is there any set of settings necessary for ODBC to work with access and vice versa?
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.
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"
I'm making database using access 2013 web apps. Name field in the table same with username in office 365. I want to make the user can only edit the field that have their name on there.
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.
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] & "'"
I have just finished my first access database, well almost, one problem- I can't edit or type anything on my database when I am using a link to an xml workbook. If I just import the xml file to use on my database I can edit and save it but not when I used a linked xml worksheet. If I change the xml file entries in Excel, the changes appear on the linked database but it won't work the other way around - I can't even type anything in any of the fields. What have I done wrong and how can I remedy this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in (Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber Estimate_ID : Number Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table Part_ID : Autonumber PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them) PartName : Text Unit Price : Currency Description : Text
Estimates - Table Estimate_ID : Autonumber InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it) EstimateDate : Date/Time EstimateTime : Date/Time Employee_ID : Number Customer_ID : Number ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table Customer_ID : Autonumber FirstName : Text LastName : Text CompanyName : Text Address : Text City : Text Province_State : Text Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName LastName CompanyName Address City Province_State Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box Control Source - Part_ID Row Source Type - Table/Query Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
I have an Access 2000 database with some linked tables. When upsizing the database I selected 'Save password and user ID with attached tables'. Therefore in the Linked Table manager after each table in brackets I have the name of the database to which the tables are linked.
I am now wondering if I want to link the tables to a different database how do I change the database name, which is in brackets after the table name.
If I select a table and select 'prompt for a new location each time' I am getting prompted to select a different DSN. At the moment I don't have a DSN and I don't want to have to set one up.
I imagine that the database name and the user id and password I entered in the upsizing wizard are stored in some configuration box but I don't know where I can access this.
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.
I created a table to keep contact information such as address, phone number, and email address of instructors. I also modified the New Instructor Entry form to add an email address, since we usually have this when hired.
The problem arises when no such information exists for an instructor. I have attached a "sample" database with all the important components and "sample" data.
When I choose an instructor in which some contact information exists, the Instructor Contact Entry form performs as expected. On the other hand, if no information for an instructor exists, the information can be entered, even though the Employee Number, Family Name and Given Name fields are blank, contrary to the first case. Not only can the information can be "saved" but no data appears in the table.
How do I have to set this up to get it to work for an instructor not in the table?
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 .
I am currently unable to delete any data from my table. When I highlight a row and right-click, the option to delete the record is grayed-out. I have deleted and recreated the table and relationships, saved the database as a new file, and compacted and repaired, but I am still unable to delete anything.
Hi, I have a form called Edit Column, which contains two text boxes: ID and Description. The user types something in these two boxes and presses a button, and this button should take the value of ID and edit description for that particular ID in the table "Map". Here is the code I have written for it:
Dim d As Database Set d = CurrentDb Dim r As Recordset Set r = d.OpenRecordset("Map")
r.MoveFirst If r! = Me.Text1 Then [I]('Text1 is the text box where the user enters an ID) Do While Not r.EOF r.Edit r![Description] = Me.Text3 r.Update r.MoveNext Loop MsgBox "Successful", vbInformation Else MsgBox "This column does not exist in the Store", vbCritical End If
I've created an ADP project containingnumerous tables. One (and only one!) table in the set will not open in edit mode while in Access. Here are the particulars:
1) The table was created from scratch in SQL Enterprise Manager, 2) The table is editable in SQL Enterprise Manager, 3) The table permissions appear to be set correctly (and are the same as all the other tables which all allow editting in Access) 4) I open the Access project and double-click the table. The "add record" navigation button is disabled, and any attempt to edit a field elicits a "This recordset is not updatalbe" error. 5) However, I can open the table in Design mode in Access, make changes, and save them.
I am trying to learn Access form building by creating a training database. I created a form that has all of my class information and the students who are attending the class as show in the attached jpg.
If a student has already attended a previous class I don't want to enter his information again. I want to do a lookup for the student and if the student does not exist then create a new student. Is there a way of doing this without coding?
I am trying to edit a specific record in my table. I want to know how to go about referencing it. I'm dealing with a table of books each having its own Book # assigned to it.
Example: The table has Book#(primary key), title, author, quantity.
How would i go about increasing/decreasing the the quantity by a value(i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) in a form that i'm in and then saving it to that specific books quantity? I'm attempting to keep track of our inventory.
I have a procedure that imports excel spreadseet to access table ever today. today it failed. Forrmat was the same as yesterday.
I did 'copy/paste special/format' from yesterday's file; still today's file wouldn't import.
Tried to copy manually to the table, got the error message about 'field not being in the same format'
Went to table's design view, and changed everything to 'memo', the was able to do copy/paste. There wer no values with more then 20 characters I was able to change 'memo' back to text and date/time without loosing any date.
Has anyone ecountered this ? Going changing table, and then chaging it back doesn't sound like the best practice what can be done ? can abything be done to excel file ?
I have a button on a form that when clicked, does the following:
I have a table called [Workorder Parts] that has 128 records in it with Fields named WorkOrderPartID (Autonumber), WorkorderID(Number), PartID(Number), Quantity(Number), UnitPrice(Currency), Notes(Memo), KitID(Number).
I want to copy records into another table called [tKitsWorkorderParts] that has the identical structure based upon a value in the field WorkorderID. For testing purposes let's assume that the field contains the value "12". There are 28 records in the table that have the value set to "12"
If I hardcode the value "12" into the following SQL statement, it finds and copies the 28 records correctly.
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tKitsWorkOrderParts] SELECT * FROM [WorkOrder Parts] WHERE [WorkOrder Parts.WorkOrderID] = 12"
so far so good.....
Now, on the form there is a Text Box called WorkorderID that contains the value "12".
If I change the code to the following, I get all 128 records instead of just the 28 I am expecting:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tKitsWorkOrderParts] SELECT * FROM [WorkOrder Parts] WHERE [WorkOrder Parts.WorkOrderID] = WorkorderID"
I have inserted a few MsgBox displays to display the value contained in WorkorderID and it shows "12"...
My research has shown that Access will not allow edits through a form that 1) has subqueries in its SELECT clause, or 2) uses aggregation such as First(). Is there any tricky way around this?
Long version of question:
I have a database form that shows an overview of orders for products (it's based on a query that pulls all current orders from the big table). I would like to handle both of these on each row:
Show where we built it last time, and Allow the user to select where it will be built this time.
The problem is that I cannot figure a way to change the form/query such that it doesn't aggregate to find out where we built it last time, or doesn't rely on subqueries that do just that.
But I feel like there should be some way to do it--since each row displayed does rely on one and only one record in the complete table of orders. Which obviously is the record I want to update.
Is there something I can do that will accomplish this? I really do not want to have to make the user open up another form to see last time or choose this time.
