Just Update It, No Questions Asked!!
Aug 19, 2004When you run an Update Query using RunSQL, it always comes up with a box telling you the number of records you are updating and if you want to update. Is there a way to stop this box coming up and just perform the query.

I Know It's Been Asked Before, But I Can't Find It
Feb 15, 2007Small project for the local police dept. They want an easy small program to track overtime and who gets it, got it, doesn't want it, etc.
All good, but they want to be able to generate a list (report or on screen) of all those who has received OT and their balance to date, with he/she with the least OT first and ascending from there. In a report I can easily use the sum function in the section footer but how can I sort by that? Or, harder yet, how can I add the numbers in a column in a table/query since the field which contains the "OT hours assigned" will be for each assignment?
So, I guess I need to add a given field value to the other values for a running balance (of coarse this will need to be seperated by each employee).
Thanks

Being Asked For A Parameter That I Cant Find
Jan 9, 2008Ok, I reckon there's a gremlin in this damn db...
For a form, i have a series of check boxes. One of these had a & symbol in the name, i originally had this working, but with some extra functionality added it no longer became possible, as it recognised it as a special character. The checkbox, and relating table reference was Inform_Q&FS I changed all references of it to Inform_QFS. However, im getting a parameter window pop up asking for the original reference. I've tracked it down to a point between a button being clicked and the begining of the following forms load Sub. The point of the button method triggering the parameter window is the line where the button changes the subform to the new form.
Here is the db..
Could somebody please take a look and see whats going on... im starting to get really frustrated with databases. :(
Also, any general comments regarding the db are welcome, as i'm assuming im doing things the right way there. and excuse the messy coding
Get A Field Only If It Equals What I Asked
Sep 18, 2005I have a table with data of people, in which table two fields contain two (not necessarily different) jobs.
I want to build a query (and later a report based on that query) which will return the name, address, phone of the person, plus only the field of the job that I asked for it.
when executing the query, the user should enter the asked job in a popup-box using the below formula.
Like "*" & [job] & "*"
Note, that there may be records containing in both job fields the same job. I want to get the field only if it contains the asked job.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Interesting Question Asked Of Me...
Jul 28, 2005I'm not looking for your expertise in "how to" do this (not yet, anyway) but a friend asked me if Access could do certain functions. Like "automatically fill-in some of the
more routine letters/forms such as basic letters of
representation, medical bill/record requests"
(routine for his biz) and "basic calendaring
functions, such as keeping track of monthly deadlines, reminders, and other
important dates."
I figured that if so, the app would have to be running in order track deadlines and such.
So, are these things that are Access able functions?

Possibly The Easiest Question Ever Asked
Feb 1, 2008This is probably blindingly obvious but I'm unsure about it.
We'll refer to three tables, call them Table X, Table Y and Table Z.
Basically, I have a database with 10 tables. Table X links to Table Y via the Primary Key. Another field in Table X has a relationship with the Primary Key in Table Z (a foreign key).
Now, does the field in Table X that has a relationship with the primary key in Table Z need to be the primary key as well?
Put another way, does Table X need two primary keys?
Simple Question Probably Asked And Answered Previously
Sep 12, 2005Trying to fix a simple problem with some tables.
In my department, we recently switched servers and from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. We had a database that got converted somehow during the transition. One person didn't get their computer switched until about a month later.
In essence we had 2 databases of the same information going for a while. Now everyone has the same database. Problem is the following:
Simply put:
We have 10,000 records autonumbered in one of the databases. The other database has 9,500 with the last 100 or so being information that the 1st database does not contain. How can I update my main table to have all 10,100 records? I have tried an append query and it doesn't seem to be working right. I have also tried to 'find unmatched' but can't seem to make that work either. There has to be an easy solution to make it work in one step.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. :confused:
Reports :: Data Range Asked Twice For A Field When Open Report
Mar 26, 2014I am in the process of making some changes to an inherited database. One of the things I need to do is to fix an issue with the reports. The reports have a field which asks for the data range (from xx/xx/xx to xx/xx/xx) as soon as the report is opened, but then the query that fills that report also asks for the same data range so you end up entering it twice.
What do I need to do to enter the data range only once and have it show up on the report and also be used on the query?
Viewing All Records
Apr 18, 2006Hi, can anyone please help me.
I've just set up a form with 2 pages which I can add data into, but for some reason, I can't view all records.
I've tried using the switchboard to add buttons to both add records and view (but they both only add), and i've also set up my own button with the instruction to view all records, but it just won't work.
On the first page the data source is tbl_CompanyInfo, and on the second page, the data source is a subform with the data source tbl_Contacts. The subform will link contacts to the company info via the CompanyID field. I hope that makes sense.
Can anyone please tell me how I can view all of the data via the form.
Thanks very much
Viewing Only Those Data With Value
Sep 29, 2006I'm wondering how can I view only those query data with value in certain fields.
For example in a record of students with check marks, view only those students with check marks and leaving those having no check mark out.
I know it has something to do with the criteria but not sure what. I've already search the MS Access Help as well as this forum and have not found anything.
Thanks in advance.
Subform Viewing
Jul 21, 2006I am working creating a data entry form. I am using the data entry option in the form properties to do this. However, when I do this, my subforms do not display any information.
Ideally, I would like them to display information when the field linked to the subform is entered on the main form. Is there an option for this ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Time Format - Short Time Displayed As Medium Time
May 23, 2006I have an application with a backend db on PC 1, and the same application on PC 2 linked to the backend db on PC 1 via the network.
The link works fine but the time formats are different.
On PC 1 the time format is shortime and displays as it should i.e. in 24 hour clock format
However on PC 2, opening the same database via the network, the time format is still shorttime but when you read the time within the code it comes out in AM/PM format. Also, when the defaul tiem should be #20:00:00# but this changes to #8:00:00 PM#
Weirdly though, when you just open the table, the times are in the correct shorttime format.
Guessing, it must be a setting within the main core of Access 2003 that is different between the 2 instances?
Any ideas?
This screen shot may help:

Viewing HTML In A Form
Apr 14, 2006I've used Access 2003 to create a database which contains a table linked directly to the "Orders" table on my mysql server. This table holds all of the customer orders placed on our website. I next created a form in access to give me a nice justified view of the orders.
My Problem? The field on the mysql server that holds the line item details for each order is a "Memo" field, and all of the text is formatted in html it appears. When viewed on the form, I see the all of the raw code, and not the nicely formatted text. If i highlight a section of the code from the form, and paste it in a Html editor (Frontpage for example), I see the line items nicely formatted as intended.
Is there a way to get this memo field to display the formatted html text instead?
My access skills are pretty limited, so detailed steps would be appreciated.
Size Of Viewing Window?
Mar 4, 2007Hi All,
users can opening a file (either .doc, exe or .pdf) with additional data to the record they're looking at by clicking on a icon on a form. The icon has code behind it that opens the document (Application.FollowHyperlink NameDocTo Open). That opens the doc OK, no problem, but what is a problem is that the window for this document is exactly the same size as the window of the access form from which the second doc is opened.
The size of the access window is defined. I'd like to get the word or excel or pdf to be maximized. The weird thing is that I use the same code in another database and there the 'secondary doc' opens in a new window and of large enough size. How can the same code generate 2 outcomes? And how can I fix the issue described?
Thanks guys.
Record Viewing Within Tables
Apr 29, 2008I was wondering if there is some setting that can be set such that certain records within a table are not visible when the table is opened, or a form is accessing its records.
It seems from time to time, some records seem to 'disappear' from view?!?
Other than a filter...
Does anyone know how this is possible, and what can be set or specified in order for this to be happening?
Thank you for any enlightenment...
Viewing Contents Of Two Tables
Aug 27, 2007Greetings to All,
I have one table (tblLink) that resides on an SQL Server quite a distance from me. I have another table (tblLink_r) that resides in a local .mdb file. The tables are identical except for the data they contain and where they are located. Only one index (LinkIdx=autonumber) exists. I am making sure there are no duplicate indicies in the LinkIdx fields because I started the LinkIdx field in tblLink_r at 2100000000.
When I open tblLink (remote), I can scroll to the end of the 21,000 records relatively quickly - read: little latency. Queries performed on this table similarly show little latency.
When I open tblLink_r, I also have little latency. This table has 100 records.
I need a single object which contains the contents of tblLink and tblLink_r. I have tried a UNION ALL, but this query takes upwards of 4 minutes to complete which I can't understand since either of the constituent tables only take ~.5 seconds to call up.
I am hoping someone can provide a way to speed up the UNION ALL query or provide an alternate means to combine the contents of these tables.
Hiding And Viewing Subforms
Jan 26, 2005I have a form with a subform on with the visible value set to false. After a value has been selected from a combo box i then want this subform to show. Tried calling the form using me!formname.visible = true in the afterupdate but it says it cant find the form.
Any Ideas how
Viewing PDF Files From Within Access
Jun 30, 2005I've been reading everywhere on this site trying to find out how
to do this, but just can't seem to grasp it. I see people saying it can
be done, but can't find more specific details on how to go about it. I
just want to view a pdf file from within the access environment. I need
to be able to view contracts from my app, and joy oh joy they are all
in PDF form.
Any help is greatly appreciated to get me started on this. I've
tried using the Active X Adobe Acrobate Control but to no avail.
Viewing Listboxes In A Report
Nov 19, 2005Good Morning all,
On a Form I have a series of Listboxes, each drills down to a final piece of information. The Listboxes store a number_id which displays along with other information In this case the number_id is associated to a TEXT description. When I send the Listbox info to the Report it displays the info but the text doesn't wrap and it gets cut off. There is no "can grow" option on a list box.
So I need to create a Text Box in the Report but when I refrence the listbox in the control source only the number_id shows up. I need to see the associated text (field).
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Phil "bones"
Linking Records & Viewing
Jan 18, 2006Before I spend an age trying to get this to work I thought I'd consult some experts.
I have a main data table for recording all possible insurance claims against a company. What I want to do is create say 2 incidents but link them in some way. i.e. One of our drivers had a car accident (1 claim against our motor policy), but then the driver of the other car sues us(1 claim against our public liability).
I can create 2 seperate records and maybe have a field to highlight parent/child reference numbers, but is there anyway I could allow the user to click a button and see the related records simultaneously?
Cheers
Drop Down Combobox For Viewing Only
Jan 28, 2006Is it possible to create on my form a drop down combo box for just viewing purposes of table values? i want to manually enter my value but sometimes i like to look at my Standard ranges as a double check. I do NOT want the combo box values to come into the field.
is there a way to do this?
thanks
Viewing Combo Box Properties
Nov 17, 2006I have a lookup colum in my datasheet. Is there any way that i can change the properties so that I can view both the first name and the last name in the same box once it is chosen. Currently in design view I have a column for first name and a column for the last name. When I choose a name from the lookup column, all it shows is the last name... i would like for it to show both the lastname, firstname.
please advise... thanks
Probelms With Datasheet Viewing
Dec 2, 2006HeyI made a form which displays formulas such as [unitprice]*[quantity]. These forumulas are working perfectly when I display the form in 'form view'. However, when I open the form in 'datasheet view' it displays '#error' in the same field. I think the problem has something to do with me attaching a subform to the form. As when ever I click on the '+' to display the subform in datasheet mode, the '#error' becomes into a correct value.Why is this so?I would appreciate the help.Thanks
