Hi All,
I have a pop up form that requires me to fill out all 4 fields of the form. When I don't, I get a prompt telling me which field(s) I've forgotton to fill in and allows me the option to Cancel (Yes or No) and if i decide yes it wont save and will close the form. BUT when I say No (Don't cancel), it still closes out the form and I obviously don't want that. I don't know if it might have to do with my macro button either? Any clue?
Thanks in Advance!
MY CODE:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim blnError As Boolean
Dim strError As String
strError = "You are missing data for "
If IsNull(Me.[Account Number]) Or Me.[Account Number] = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & "Account Number,"
End If
If IsNull(Me.Contact) Or Me.Contact = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Contact,"
End If
If IsNull(Me.Department) Or Me.Department = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Department,"
End If
If IsNull(Me.Address) Or Me.Address = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Address,"
End If
If blnError Then
strError = Left(strError, Len(strError) - 1)
If MsgBox(strError & vbCrLf & "Are you sure you want to cancel." & vbCrLf & "If you do, the info will not be added.", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Close Confirmation") = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub
Im trying to open my database switchboard without having the whole Access program open. Is there a way to have only the database open without the whole program?
Thanks
Hello,
I once used a program, when you click this .mdb file, it opens a main Form interface that user can run programs such as view report etc. That is, all tables, querys reports, other forms are behind the sence (user does not need to know them).
Could anyone tell me how to do this? Thank you for yoru help.
I have a fully operational Visual Basic program that uses MS Office XP and it's related MS Access. Because of security concerns, I recently upgraded to MS Office 2007 and MS Access 2007. I can open MS Access 2007 using the shortcut on the desktop and run any of the database queries. When I try to run the Visual Basic program (called prjPathfinder) and open Access 2007, it says "Error 5: The type initializer for prjPathfinder.Upgrade Support threw an exception". It then shows the first form in prjPathfinder but does not open Access 2007. What am I missing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a split form, populated with my DVD movies, with the datasheet on the left. On the right I have 3 fields. Title Movie Type and Movie Description. All are enabled. But, today I was unable to select the Description field. I would click in it but the cursor would not enter to field. I needed to select another field and the then I was able to select Description. I was able to select the field programmatically. I needed to find a form from a backup and replace it.
View 12 Replies View RelatedSo I have this form with a combo box which successfully displays a range of items from which I would like to select from - but unfortunately I cannot. I cannot select anything from the combo box.
I have checked the form and table to ensure I have edit rights - which I do.
The form is based on a query - attached is a picture of the relationships within the query.
I assume I have created a non updateable query but this is only an assumption.
I am lost about the best course of action to take. Is there a way to identify the problem?
Do I just cut my loses and recreate the functionality somehow?
I have validation on a checkbox on a sub form and after the validation fails and the cancel = true is executed in the before update event, I am unable to select the checkbox on the form. Access will not allow the selection. my subform is called frmContactType so hopefully I am referencing it correctly:
Me.frmContactType.Form.chkAssociate
I have two databases that have been split, and both back ends are in a shared folder on the server that only a few people have authorization to access. One of the front ends is accessed off another shared folder, and the other is saved to each person's desktop. They have been up and running for months, and I've had no problems with users not being able to access data from the back end.
The other day, I requested access to this protected folder for four people, which was granted. But, since the time it was granted, neither database will open unless the user has authorization to access the protected folder. They get an error that says the database is already opened exclusively or they don't have authorization to view its data.
I've created another test db and split it into the same folder, but my users are getting the same error.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

Hi, I'm trying to connect to SQL Server Express from MS Access 2003.
I've created an ODBC data source and tested it within the ODBC Wizard. It successfully connects to the SQL Server database.
From within MS Access, I choose File > Get External Data > Import and I'm presented with a dialogue for choosing the data source. As soon as I choose ODBC from the Files of Type drop-list, the dialogue disappears. No error-message, nothing!
Has anyone else had this problem?
When trying to set a password I receive the following message.
You must have the database open for exclusive use to set or remove the database password.
To open the database exclusively, close the database, and then reopen it by clicking the File tab and using the Open command, In the Open dialog box, click the arrow next to the Open button and then select Open Exclusive.
When I follow the instructions, I don't get a dialog box. How do I set a password?
I am trying to open a report (with subreports) from a form. When the report opens, I want the form to hide, which most of the time does. Sometimes, though, it won't hide when the report opens. So, I even created an error handler, and moved that part of the code to SubExit section, but the problem still occasionally occurs. Here is my code:
Code:
Dim strWhere As String
Dim strDate As String
Dim strDist As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
strDate = "=DateSerial(" & Year(Me.txtAsOfDate) & "," & Month(Me.txtAsOfDate) & "," & Day(Me.txtAsOfDate) & ")"
strWhere = "YearEnd = " & Year(Me.txtAsOfDate) - 1

I have created a database in Access 2010 and I am not able to open the same database in Access 2007. I have read somewhere that it is possible to open. I get the message, " Unrecognized database format". In Access options, the default file format is, "Access 2007".

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 spent all day trying to figure out why sometimes I can call an excel function from access and the value will appear on my form, but for some functions (F.inv, binom.inv), it errors out as "object not supported". I browsed all the available libraries in tools/reference but found nothing that seemed to solve this issue.

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.
I am trying to import a series of records from Excel into a table in Access 2010. The field names in the Excel table match the field names in the Access table. The field formats are the same as well (both set to numbers).
I am receiving an "unparsable record" error for all fields in the Excel file that are being entered into fields in Access that are 'lookup' fields that allow multiple entries.
The Exel fields have been filed in with the 'numbers' that correspond to the correct 'lookup' selections. There is only one item in the excel field -> while access will allow multiple entries for the field, I for the records I'm importing I only need one.
For the fields that are 'lookup' but allow only one value the excel data is being imported and displayed correctly in Access.
Do I need to format the fields that are matching to multiple entry fields differently or in a special way?
I have a VBA program which is stored in an Access database. The program creates letters using Word template documents as well as new Excel sheets. When one of the users in my team undertakes this process she is unable to create the files (although she could before). The following error message occurs initially for the word documents:
"The document could not be registered word 2010. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to the document"
When I enter debug and attempt to run the code again the file opens but subroutine halts again and I get a different message:
"Could not open Macro storage"
The line of code which is identified for both errors is:
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(TemplateLocation)
Where wdDoc is the a Word.Document, wdApp is a Word.Application and TemplateLocation is the path for the template

I have split my database in Front End och Back End, and both are password protected. The Front End has been converted to ACCDE.
When I try to import to Excel from Front End and/or Back End using database connections I receive a message telling me that I am using an invalid password (even though I use the same password when I encrypt/decrypt FE and BE). I've tried using Access import, ODBC and Microsoft Query. (In some cases I 'm also prompted to set a username, which I do not know which it should be since I haven't set one in my database (except the automatic "admin"))
How do I go about to make this work?
I am trying to create a database by compiling records from multiple excel sheets. however, since most of the clients still uses the excel sheets to enter records, I am thinking if it's possible to create a linked table in access from these excel sheets that are hosted on an online server.
also is it possible to merge multiple linked tables together? if they have the same field range, so they will append when the linked tables gets updated.
With below codes I am able to export recordset data to specified excel range if recordset count is 25. But I am unable to export the data greater than 25 to 2 specified range.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIm trying to work on an db in Access 2007 that was migrated from Access 2003 (in fact its been migrated several times starting from Access 97). It executes and runs with no problems in both versions.
The problem is when trying to open some queries (not all) - Access is unable to open the query in design mode and gives me this error :
" is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
However, as I cant open it - I cant check it. Im pretty sure none of the fields have invalid characters (they do have spaces) and Im not sure how long is too long....
