I am editing our store's invoice / inventory Access database, originally written by a friend of our family as a school project. It works, but not perfectly, and that is why I am trying to improve it. What I am trying to do exactly is add a series of checkboxes (e.g. "carpet", "laminate", etc.) to indicate whether or not the customer's invoice included those items, so I can make a macro for word to automatically print customized thank-you letters. I copied and pasted some of his working, pre-existing check-boxes, set up fields in the related table, and modified the control source of the check-boxes to those fields, yet I still get an obnoxious "Control can't be edited; it's bound to unknown field "Cpt"", etc. Looking at the table, my columns appear the same as his, yet mine do not work. I even went into code view and copied and pasted the code for his checkboxes, changing them as appropriate, yet it still does not work. Any help would be very welcome.
Have two controls GroupID and Shift which are linked with Criteria:
SELECT tblShifts.Shift, tblShifts.GroupID FROM tblShifts WHERE (((tblShifts.GroupID)=[Forms]![fmPersonalDetails]![GroupID]));
Have two other controls which are Position and Grade with same type of link.
Problem is When I try to edit the Shift control an error message comes up saying 'cannot edit bound to unknown field 'Shift'.
Have checked each of the property fields with the Position and Grade controls and are the same. Spelling is the same in the table. Are there any other obvious things I should be looking at because I'm pretty new to this and cannot find the solution.
Hey guys, I am trying to input data into a form, the form consist of mulitiple tables. Once I set it up I get a "#Name?" error in the text box, and when I try to input data into the text box, at the bottom of the form it keeps saying "control can't be edited; it's bound to unknown field 'FieldName'."
I have two tables each with an ID field (autonumber/PK/No Dup etc).
I want to append two fields from one table to the other table. I have set up an Append Query to do this but it won't work - I get the following error - "The INSERT INTO statement contains the following unknown field: 'FiID'...."
I've inherited an access database with a multitude of functions and am trying to make heads or tails of a particular one. I'm wondering if someone can decipher what the results of the following does.
SELECT [table2].ORDER_NO AS Expr1 FROM table1, table2 WHERE (((IsNull([table1]![ORDER_NO]))=-1)) GROUP BY [table2].ORDER_NO ORDER BY [table].ORDER_NO;
My issue is with the where clause.
The way the DB is used limits my capabilities of running tests. For instance, Table2 is populated only at certain times (batch files insert data into it while processing and then clears it).
That being said. What I get from the where clause is that
- the result of ((IsNull([table1]![ORDER_NO])) must be = -1 as the criteria
I'm just not sure what ((IsNull([table1]![ORDER_NO])) translates to.
I am trying to do something like MySQL's LIMIT with access. I'm getting an error that I don't understand with the following query:
SELECT TOP 30 * FROM Entries WHERE Id NOT IN ( SELECT TOP 15 * FROM Entries ORDER BY Id DESC ) AND Static = False AND Authorized = True ORDER BY Id DESC
I'm trying to create a database and it's going well accept for one facet. Some of my recipitents are not known by name. I am planning to use my database to issue letters, newsletters and the like but sometimes they will need to be addressed "Dear sir/madam" instead of "Dear Mr Smith" I was wondering to componsate for that in a database.
I've thought about using a "recipient" field, but I am not sure that would work too well as it would mean an extra field when it might not be needed (I can get "Dear Mr Smith" from fields such as Title and LastName).
I can't really get my head around it :(
One thing: Please don't think of me as some annoying mail-spam person. In truth I am a member of a charity but some of the businesses and charitable foundations we appeal to don't have named members for us to address letters to. Hence we need to use Dear Sir/Madam and the like.
:)
Please help me. I've hit my head on the wall so many times that I think I am going to demolish it!!
I am receiving the No Current Record message, but have been unable to determine the code that generates it. The database is a system that creates tasks and assigns them to users. In the header section of the Tasks form are several controls they can use to select Active or Completed tasks, refresh the data, sort by columns, etc. There are also three other forms (not subforms) that lay on top of the Tasks form to provide additional detail about the current task.
If they "complete" all their active tasks and click Refresh, all the tasks disappear, as they should, and everything works fine. If they then try to close the form, or click any control in the Tasks header, the No Current Record message pops up. I've put debug stops in every conceivable location, but the message appears to occur before any code is activated.
I did find that I can make the message not occur by commenting out the code that synchronizes one of the associated forms (Notes), but I still don't know what is triggering the message. Debug stops in Notes yield no results either, and clicking a control in the header of Tasks shouldn't affect Notes.
I ran into this error message with the SendObject method. I'm getting the email address from the "username" environment variable. Our company generally uses the logon ID as the first part of everyone's email address, but there are some users that get this error: "Unknown message recipient; the message was not sent" Not only that, if two sendobjects are used one after the other, sometimes it sends to the first person and then the second one is set up to send a copy back to the sending user, it doesn't recognize the recipient that's logged on and is actually trying to send the email. That's the one that comes from the environment variable. But I've tried hard-coding the recipient and bypassing the variable altogether and it still generates the same error.
When I open a query whether by double click or command button, the following error appears
What does it mean ?? this error appears sometimes not always. I can't figure out what this error refers to, as long as there no any error description or code.
I work in three different databases, but for one of them (the main company db), if I right clicked the pinned Access program on the taskbar and click the pinned database, it does nothing if someone else has the file open already. If the file isn't open, it'll pop up with an "Unknown publisher" warning (new, never happened before this), but it'll open the file. If someone has the database open, it doesn't flicker or even try, it just does nothing.
I am able to open Access and click on the database in the "Recent files" and have it open that way. I don't know what to troubleshoot, its like it's not seeing the file, but I can go to the properties on the pinned db and it shows the correct file location. I'm the only one having this issue, the other users here can right click the pinned program and open the file like normal.
I've rebooted my computer; unpinned and removed from list; compacted and repaired; nothing is making a difference.
I have created a form and insert, delete some columns, controls in layout view. When all 's completed, i saw a dark vertical line on top right of the last colulmn but i could not delete it. I deleted column, set property but they all did not work. What i have to do now? Below is a screen capture from my situation.
I have lookup table I use to return names for various "Sales Class" codes.It all works good but if there is a code that isn't in the lookup table it leaves that field empty.I want it to return the word "Unknown" for any code that doesn't have a match.Here is the SQL:
Code:
SELECT [Data1].OrderNum, SalesClasses.[Name] FROM [Data1] LEFT JOIN SalesClasses ON [Data1].[Sales Class] = SalesClasses.[Code1];
I have this code below its giving me the RUntime 2295 error. Unknown message recipients. I have check all email addresses and they are fine. Everything else works except when it gets to Outlook and do not send email. I did a Debug Print but didnt understand how to do it.

Our company is currently rolling out an SP2 update to all of our PC's and this problem has reared its head on all of the updated PC's so far.
Basically when someone opens a database from a shared drive, they get an error stating that the file was made by an unknown publisher (seems to be a security warning), they click ok and then can open the file fine.
However, once someone is in the database, if anyone else tries to open it on an SP2 machine, nothing happens, the double click the file and it refuses to open. If they open Access, then click file>open and navigate to the file, they can open it. They just can't double click the file.
People using the SP1 machines can open the database with no problems whether someone is already in the file or not.
I'm guessing this is something to dow tih the SP2 security measures.
To try to sort it out, I made myself a self signed digital ceritificate and signed my macros, thinking that once the macros were signed, it would then realise who had published the file.
The only thing this does is brings up a second notice (after the initial publisher message) which gives you the option to trust content from my signature. Once this has been done once, there's no need to keep trusting it but the publisher message still comes up.
I went into the database properties and under the custom tab changed the "publisher" value to my name "Rob Jones". This still didn't work and when the database is opened it still says it's an unknown publisher.
Does anyone know how to either turn off this check or publish a database?? I've tried google / MS but can't find anything on the subject.
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.
I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter: Apples 2.2 red apple 2.4 red apple cut 2.45 Oranges 5.6 Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I'm pretty good with setting up a very simple database such as inventory, profiles, etc.. However I'm creating a database to keep track of a football (soccer) team's players and match statistics.What I have so farsample attached)
Tables: * Players - PlayerID, Fname, Lname, position, goals, assists, etc (all details regarding a player) * Position - Positons (Table containing positions eg: defender. Data is selected in player's form as a combo-box) * Competition - Competition types (Cup, League, Friendly. Data is selected in Match's form as a combo-box * Venue - similar to Competition table * Opponent - Similar to above two tables * Match - MatchID, Competition, Venue, etc (form corresponding to table attached)
Forms: * Player form * Match form
Now as shown in the sample, I choose players using the combo-box. Then whatever stats they had during the match are entered on the fields provided. How to link the player (selected using combo box) to the stat fields (goals, assist, YC, etc).
I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code: Private Sub Command16_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlString As String Dim dataDay As Byte 'Open connection to current Access database Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
