I'm building an update query for my supplier prices and I've run into a problem.
When I select fields such as part number, model, description and supplier name (all of which I won't be updating) in the design view, when I come to view the data before running the query all that is listed are the two fields I'm updating namely the list price and the review date. How can I get the view screen to list the additional data that I wish to view and check prior to running the query.
trying to create an update query to Budget table using the Access Design View:
Field: PctSls (in tblBudget) Update to: [Expense] / [Sales]. The update query always returns 0. However, if I create a Select query using the same calculation, the correct results is displayed. PctSls is defined in the Budget table.
I haven't worked with Access (2003) for several years but this seems too simple to be causing me such frustration. (Was only a casual user even then).
This problem is driving me crazy.... :mad: I have main form which contains treeview control. TreeView contains list of all users that have been added. I add users in pop up form. But when I hit Update button in pop up form the treeview dosen`t want to update. I can make it work only if I close main form and open it again when I hit Update button on pop up form.
If IsLoaded("frmOsnovnoOkno") Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOsnovnoOkno" DoCmd.OpenForm "frmOsnovnoOkno" DoCmd.Hourglass False End If
I dont want to close main form ("frmOsnovnoOkno") and open it again I just want to update treeview without closing and opening main form. Please help me.. :)
I have a small issue with the before update event, it is triggered for every record of my subform in datasheet view rather than just once when the user leaves the subform.
I have a module which is called from my form and all the subforms. It tells the user that changes have been made to the record and gives them the option to undo. This is to prevent accidental editing when viewing records. This works fine, but sometimes the user must enter a number of records in a subform and so they must answer the message box every time.
Is there any relatively straightforward way to accomplish the warning and undo when the user leaves the subform rather than the individual record in it?
A quick attempt at lost focus and before exit demonstrated that these were not the way to go.
For reference, here is the before update code and the module
Option Compare Database Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Before Update(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Public Sub Confirm_Change() On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response
Beep
'Define message box Msg = "You have made changes to this record. " & Chr(13) _ & Chr(13) & "Click 'Yes' to save changes " & Chr(13) _ & Chr(13) & "Click 'No' to undo changes " Style = vbYesNo + vbExclamation + vbDefaultButton1 Title = "Record changed - Confirm save" '
'Check which button pressed Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title) If Response = vbYes Then MsgBox "Record has been updated with your changes", vbOKOnly, "Record saved" Else DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo End If
I have a query (SelectedData_Query) , on which a form (SelectedDataQuery_SubForm) in datasheetview is based, which is placed on a form (NAWInvoerForm) where customer adress data is put in. When someone clicks new case button on the NAWInvoer_Form, another form (CaseDateTimeInfo_Form) is opened, data is entered, but when the "CaseDateTimeInfo_Form" form is closed, the data in the subform in datasheetview on the NAWInvoerForm is not yet refreshed. So I tried the following:
Private Sub Form_Close() '------------------------------------------------------------ ' RefreshNAWInvoerForm ' '------------------------------------------------------------ On Error GoTo RefreshNAWInvoerForm_Err
Which works just fine. After the form is closed, the name, adress and cases overview form is reopened and refreshed, thus the case that has just been created is shown nicely in the subform which is based on a query.
But it is starting to become bothersome, sometimes when I close the form in which I create a new case, I don't want to have the other form (NAWInvoerForm) reopening again.
So how can i make it so that when I close the form only the data in the "NAWInvoer_Form" is refreshed, without having to reopen the form again. I mean, in the background, the form is still open anyway. It just shouldn't keep popping up everytime.
It can't be hard, but I can't see it. I'm new at this. I have found some similar topics on this forum, but none which helps me out enough.
It should be something like:
On "thisandthatevent" do a "thisandthatcommand" on "thisandthatsubform" in "thisandthatform"
If I know how the syntax of that is done, it would help me out with some other problems I see coming in the near future. I've looked at, and tried some things based on this link: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm But without success.
I have two linked tables (uneditable). They are linked by PersonID and they also have email address in common. For sake of example let's say one table has names of people, and the other table has the address they live at.
I have a user who requires a "datasheet" view of certain columns from each table. No problem, can do that easily in a query.
The issue is that he also wants to have an editable column that would have say "Address Confirmed". Clearly I need another table. If I make a three table query I find no way to edit that new column.
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column (2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need (3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.
I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.
It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.
Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers
I have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
I am wondering how you can output your query into a form. I have a form to select the information the end users is looking up, which refers directly to the query but how can I tell the query to place the results into a form view?
I have inherited some Foxpro tables which I am trying to convert to Access and I hae set the exported tables up and have tried to set the relationships between the tables so that I can run queries and setup forms to review and add new records. However I am struggling to get the relationships in place that will allow me to do this. When I try to drag the common fields from one table to another to setup the link I get a screen which shows Relationship Type as 'indterminate' rather than 'one-to-many'. Whatever I do I can't change the type of link and when I view a query based on the two linked tables the * in the record navigator is greyed out so I can't add new records. I have a sample of the tables,links,queries and forms I have setup to date (with a limited number of records), if someone could have a look at it and advise where I am going wrong that would be great. The data and the structure of the tables is pretty much fixed as this is what is coming through from Foxpro and there is a lot of historical data to bring across. Many thanks
I am having a problem with editting the SQL source of a query. Every time I position the cursor it highlights from there to the end of the query so as soon as I type it deletes to the end of the query. I have tried pressing the Insert Key but that does not seem to have any affect on this problem.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a new query in SQL view?
I find myself encouraging carpal tunnel by: > going to "queries" > "new query" > "design view" > closing the "show table" dialog box > right clicking the new query > finally selecting "SQL view".
There has GOT to be an easier way that this 6-step process to ~run a query~ in a _database_ ... but I haven't run across it yet though. Any help here? My wrist thanks you ; )
I have a search form to run a query to produce matching records from a few tables. However there are many fields so I was wondering if I could make something like a split form to view the results from the query in one window.
I know you can make queries produce tables and you can have split forms linked to table information. I wasn't sure if you could/ how you would run a query and produce a table with a split form.
Hi, In the example attached below how can I see the "cut off date" that I am prompt to enter in the fourth field of query1-a (I would like to see it for each one of the record that are displayed when the query is run and then append it to a table) Cheers,
