Unexpected Behaviour In Sub Form
Dec 24, 2004
Why does my sub form which is contained in a Tab, not display unless a certain field is populated with something? It's not a required field. Infact it is one of two identical fields... a relationship and a lookup to another table. It doesn't matter if the second one if filled in or not. Just this one. The record is in the database, I choose from a drop down in the header... and the subform then requeries and displays the information. However, unless this 1 field is filled in.. the subform remains blank. It is getting on my nerves!!

Hi,
i have a form which is acting strange. i press a button that runs a macro and opens a second form based on my PersonID. ( opens the form showing that person only ). it works great for the first 2 table records. after this, i get a blank screen. not even any text boxes. i have a "where" condition which reads on the following macro sequence:-
OpenForm ( MakeYourPayment )
View ( Form )
Filter Name ( )
Where condition (="[PersonID]="PersonID] )
Data Mode ( Edit )
Window ( Normal )
my second form has PersonID field available so as i read it, my where condition should open the form using Person ID from min form to PersonID on the 2nd form.
any help greatly appreciated as there is a lot of work on this form.
many thank,
Nigel

I've got a query pulling data from a view I created that gives all the data I need. The query gets it's criteria from a form with 10 combo boxes, a radio box with 3 options and 2 date fields for the timeframe to run the report in.
The issue:
over half the columns of data that the radio buttons can limit results by have null values but only two of the columns are excluding records where the values in them are null. As any combination of the combo boxes are null I'm using the following format for my criteria per column
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption]),[Installer_from_Web],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption])
That is an example of a column that works, the following is a column that is excluding null values no matter what I do
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption]),[ProductType],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption])
I am not seeing the error and could use some thoughts.

I have an entry Form which is used to record prospective new members of a society in a Table named 'Foreigners' in a Membership Database using Access 2010. The entry form also records the name of the 'Interest Group' to which the prospective member is initially affiliated.
On entering this Group Name, selected from a drop down list from the Groups Table, The Group ID & Leader Member ID are automatically recorded.
However, I don't wish to record the Leader Member ID, what I wish to record is the Leader's Member Name which is identified by that ID in the related 'Mail List' Table.
In the Properties sheet the relevant source for this field is shown as Leader, but what is displayed is the Leader ID...

Hello,
I am hoping someone might be so kind as to help me with a search form I am working on. I have included a test database that has the form. The form has a search box that works dynamically to show results based upon a string search as typed into the search box. The problem is: if I type any spaces beyond the last digit of what I am searching for it no longer displays the intended result.
For example; there is a field called - serial - in the test databse you will see a value in that field of 319-04. If I type 319-04 it shows that record only. However if I key in any additional spaces after the 319-04 it will not show the result.
This is just a problem because I am trying to input the data using a scanner. I have found that if I scan the barcode with the serial# it seems to include two spaces after the scan. I don't know why that is...but rather than worry about that I would just like to try and get the form to display the record even if there are spaces after the last digit entered.
Thanks!

Ok here is the deal
You start to type with a smile on your face
Form_MyForm. <-- from that point (literaly) you usualy have a list of things you can do with that form.
All i wanted to do is a requery but i have no list...and even if i type myself Form_MyForm.requery .. this will not work cause it says that it cant find the dang form.
I have tried renaming the form, let someone else type the name for me, copy&paste ..nothing work, when i get to the point...it never gives me a list of things i can do with that form.
what is the deal here..anyone ?
Wow that felt good only to talk about it

Ok, I know you guys have heard about this problem quiet a few times, my search told me that. But my problem has a bit of a twist. The message appeared when I tried to open the database yesterday, so I went to the backups and tried to open them. All the backups for the past month give the same message. The problem is with the FE only, the BE is working fine. The backups are connected to the same workgroup as the FE and BE. Has anyone seen this before and know what might of happened?

Hello, Something weird happened to me - I have a form with continuous subforms and on it are checkboxes. When I click on one specific checkbox, a text box on the parent form becomes visible, where I can add text, which is added directly to the table in the AfterUpdate event. However, the query underlying the subform does not reflect the change, and when I either go to a different record on the parent form, or click on another checkbox in the subform, I get an error message:"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. [...]"I can then Save The Record, Copy To Clipboard or Drop Changes.When I drop changes, the text shows up in the query, although my textbox disappears.The one time I selected Save, however, the table got messed up and a foreign key was replaced by what looks like random number [used to be "1", is now "4587525"]. A second foreign key was also changed.Can anybody explain this?And, more importantly, suggest a way to avoid this entire situation? Thank you.

Ever since I switched from using a Mapped Drive to using the UNC path for my linked tables, i occassionally get Unexpected Error (40230).
I noticed this first when i manually re-linked using the link table manager, it linked the tables, then gave me this error several times, likely reflecting the number of tables i linked, but the links refreshed.
I then noticed this error when i used the acCmdZoom method on a textbox control on a continuous form. It opened the zoom, then gave me the same error several times, likely reflecting the number of records on the form, (i just hit the esc key to scroll through all the errors quickly.)
Any thoughts would be much appreciated,
*** UPDATE, Ok, I just did a Linked Table Manager again, got the error 112 times (or so), which is nowhere near the number of tables linked. After the error occurs once, and you perform that operation again, the error does not happen. Same thing when zooming, the error occurs sever dozens of times, but when i perform the zoom again, it does not repeat the error.
STILL NEED HELP

Hi All
I have just noticed some strange behaviour in access. I hava and asp page which gets two dates which are then used in a sql statement to refresh a page. The end of the statement deals with a between clause like this
WHERE tbl_Movements.date_of_Movement Between #12/03/2007# AND #30/03/2007#
But when I view this in design mode it changes it to
Between #03/12/2007# And #30/03/2007#
Why does it do this and what can I do to resolve it
Thanks

Hi,
slightly related to a previous thread of mine. thanks to boblarson and co, i have created a subform on my main form that is blank. then i press a button and the sourceobject is set to the desired form i want to have visible. i have the following code-
Private sub Button_Click()
me![MainFormSubForm].sourceObject = " Edit Person" ' name of form
me![MainFormSubForm].LinkMasterFields = "PersonID" 'field on main form to link from
me![MainFormSubForm].LinkChildFlields = "PersonID" ' field on subform to link to
i can get 4 out of 5 forms to link correctly. i have a listbox on my main form that changes the mainform data to show a different person.with the other forms when they are visible, i can click a different person in the listbox and all info changes. form number 5 "Edit Person" doesnt work. when the form is loaded via the above method, it shows 1 record which is the first in the query that the main form is sourced to. when i click another person in the listbox, the subform goes to a (new) record and does not select the person clicked. the main form changes but not the subform.
why does it do this on one form when 4 others work with the code? the same code is method is used.
regs,
Nigel

I have the following tables, tblAudit and tblCriteria. The first records companies and period of audit, the second contains the criteria against which they will be audited. The audit period determines which criteria apply.
Results are recorded in a third table, tblAuditResults.
Relationships
tblAudit 1:M tblAuditResults M:1 tblCriteria
My problem is when I try to add a new result by selecting a criteria via a combo box a new row is inserted in the criteria table as well as in the result table. Inserting a row in the criteria table is wrong.
I have attached the database for you to look at.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

A report field data is sourced from a query which displays its values as a string eg "George Renee", however in the reports it displays data as a number eg 42. It is true that the query field obtains its data from a table which gets its data through lookup Wizard. I really want the report to display string type.

i have an Address textbox that has key behaviour as - new line in field. this allows me to put the complete address in one box, post code is another textbox. this is fine if i want to create window envelopes but - if i want the address to look as one long line in a report it wont work
since the address in the form takes up two lines -- only the first line shows in the address column of the table - hence only one row shows in the report that derives from that table SO =[Address]&" "&[PostCode] placed in the Source Code of the address only shows the first line plus post code . if i make the box deeper then it will show - but only as a second line - i want it all to be one line
can i get out of this and still keep the -new line in field- behaviour?
thanks in anticipation

This is for information only - I am not seeking a solution.
I created a Select Query selecting only two memo fields from a single table.
The query works correctly unless you select Unique Values = Yes which results in the error message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting less data."

Hi. I have a question prompted by database behaviour that I do not understand.
I have two tables with related records, one being a subset of the other. I have joined the tables in a query with a Left outer join relationship. I have put the query results in a form, and when a User clicks a Yes/No box, a new record is created in the subset table automatically generating an ID number using an Autonumber set to start at chosen integers.
However, recently error has occured. When I view the query results some records will not allow me to create a record in the subset table stating "You can not add or change a record because a related record is required in table x", eventhough that very record is the record which the query is displaying. Some records will. The behaviour is erratic and I cannot see what is causing it. Might this be indexing related?
Any help appreciated as ever

Hi,
I am using a form with 3 combo boxes name, weight and grade. The combo boxes are cascading:
A name is selected in the first combo box, since each name has different weights attached to it only the weights associated with that name are selected when the weight combo box is clicked. In a similar vein, there are only certian grades associated with a certain weight.
The effect is to filter the results so that an invalid entry cannot occur.
My problem is that once an entry is made and I select a new name for the next entry, the weight and grade boxes remain with the same values instead of updating to new values. Updating of the boxes does not appear to be working.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
Many Thanks

I am getting this error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver" when I try to import some .dbf files into Access. I just did some quick research, and it was suggested that I remove or rename the borland driver. Not sure how I feel about attempting that, plus, where do I get a new borland driver once the old is removed/renamed.

i have a table with 3740 records in it
i do a query and outer join this table with a query and it produces LESS records = 3733
:confused:
now i always assumed (never assume it makes an "ass" out "u" and "me" !) that the records would be the same as the table you were joining from, obviously i've assumed wrongly, but why?
the query i'm using as my lookup query is grouped and i think that is causing me problems...if i turn it into a table, it works as expected
:confused:
and i check the obvious: no filters or SELECT DISTINCT...
any suggestions/explanations welcome

I have a website which uses a series oif ASP/VBscript scripts to access and update an Access database. It has run for years on a shared commercial service.I also have a replica of the wesbite on my home pc for development and testing running under XP Pro and IIS. All works fine.
Recently I have had to switch my home setup to my laptop (also XP Pro and IIS). The scripts all appear to work ok except when I try to UPDATE certain tables.
Some give "Syntax error in UPDATE statement."
Some give "Data type mismatch in criteria expression."
Some work without error
Yet the identical script and table on the main site and my home PC work fine and have done for years.

I have a table tbl_Fixtures made up of:
fixture_id
team1_id
team2_id
...
...
...
A team id can appear in either team1 or team2 (depends on how the algorithm to compute who plays who calculates it).
I want to know how many games a team plays, so I wrote 4 queries:
qryTeam1Games:
SELECT tbl_Fixtures.team1_id AS team_id, Count(tbl_Fixtures.fixture_id) AS games
FROM tbl_Fixtures
GROUP BY tbl_Fixtures.team1_id;
qryTeams2Games:
SELECT tbl_Fixtures.team2_id AS team_id, Count(tbl_Fixtures.fixture_id) AS games
FROM tbl_Fixtures
GROUP BY tbl_Fixtures.team1_id;
qryAllGames:
SELECT *
FROM qryTeam1Games
UNION
SELECT *
FROM qryTeam2games;
qryNumGamesByTeam:
SELECT qryAllGames.team_id, Sum(qryAllGames.games) AS SumOfgames
FROM qryAllGames
GROUP BY qryAllGames.team_id;
Unfortunately, if the same team_id and games combination appears in both qryTeams1Games and qryTeams2Games, it doesn't bring 2 records into qryAllGames and the summed number of games is only half of what it should be.
Is this a case where a union query shouldn't be used? Is that how it is supposed to work?
A work around isn't a problem but this did have me stumped for a bit.

I have Access 2010. If I run this query
Code:
SELECT Reference,
InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField
FROM MyTable
WHERE
(Reference ='ShouldBeOut'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2')
It returns 3 rows, with values in MyField of 0, 23 and 355.
Now I add 1 more where clause to filter on MyField and the query looks like this:
Code:
SELECT Reference,
InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField
FROM MyTable
WHERE
(Reference ='ShouldBeOut'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2')
AND
(
InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) > 0
)
So, you would think that it should return 2 values (ShouldBeIn1 and 2), but it doesn't. It only return the value where the Instr returns value of 23. The one with the value of 355 also disappears. Why would that be? Surely Instr does not return a byte?

I have a basic form that shows employee information. A few of the fields are calculated or lookup fields. Starting with the first record I can go thru all of them just fine (I don't see any errors in the fields). If I look at my 2nd record twice then my combined name field (first name + last name) shows "#Name?". This error does not occur with my 1st record, just the 2nd one. Also, if I go to the end of my records to where a new record is going to be entered then I get extra errors in my 1st record.
It's kind of hard to explain exactly what's happening without pictures. I'll post some if you think it will help.
In any case, I don't see how a calculated field can work the first time thru but not the second time thru.

Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
