Weird Access Behaviour (can't Find Form)
Jan 21, 2006
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

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

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!!

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!

I have been writing databases for several years now, so I know my way around access pretty good. I have come upon a strange error though. which is confusing me to now end. I wrote a Database on my work machine which has the latest version of MS Access and SP2 for Office. I just tried to send it to another employee for them to test. Now they do not have the full version of MS Access installed on their machine, they only have the runtime version which only runs the Database. The load works fine and the first screen uses ADO to lookup some value and display them in a list box, nothing crazy, everything works fine. Now using this form, when they click a button the info in the list box is used to set the Fields a new Unbound form. And this is where the error happens. The on_load event of the form fails for some reason, and gives a msgbox which says, "Runtime error occured and the App needs to close", but the prog works fine on my machine. I am baffled. The file is a MS Access 2000 format, I tried changing it to MS Access 2002/2003 Format, and when I do that they cannot open the file because it says they do not have thje latest MS Access version. I have no idea what, why the error occurs, any ideas??

I've been using Access 2002 since approx 2003 now. I won't upgrade as I've used 2007 and don't like the new interface.
I'm competent with it and regularly build locally used databases or databases for websites.
About 2 months ago my copy starting pissing me off. Everytime I click on any of the "create" links, it plays an alert sound. Anytime I click on an already created query/table/report etc it plays an alert sound. The only other time it happens is if I click on the button in the toolbar in windows to open a previously minimised window.
There seems to be no option to turn this off or on anywhere, so I'm completely stumped. It's not critical but it's bloody annoying. Anyone else had this and figure it out or anyone simply know how to stop it doing it?
I could obviously turn the speakers off but I like to listen to music whilst I work, and shouldn't have to either!
Thanks in advance
PS - My "Provide feedback with sounds" option is set to OFF

Hi there,
I have imported in an excel table into access. It has a lot of numbers that have many digits after the decimal place. I want to cut this down since they are prices to just 2 decimal places.
Problem is that access imports the fields as Text fields. when i go to change the columns that i want as numbers it looses the information after the decimal place for example 1.1156834 when i click Number (long integer) and standard format it is converted to 1.00 loosing everything.
This is getting really really fustrating now.
When i import there is a drop down list but it is disabled where i can change the column property (number, text etc) so cant do anything about it.
any help would be great...
Dan

I am coding an ASP front end for an Access database. I actually had it working yesterday but I still had some tweaks to make. My development has come to a stand still because of this crazy error I awoke to this morning. I went to the url of my ASP page and all of a sudden I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0xbac Thread 0xc84 DBC 0x19e6fc4 Jet'.
So after doing some research, I decided to change my connection string to use Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
Once I changed over to the Jet driver, I got this error message:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not find installable ISAM.
I am totally stumped with this problem. I actually re-upped the database and it started working briefly but the error message soon returned. Everything I am reading is saying to change permisions and change some stuff in the registry but since it was working fine yesterday, I do not believe it is a registry setting.
Any ideas?

I have a continuous subform (BooksFullSubCC) that is located on a tab in the main form (BooksFull). In BooksFullSubCC, there is a text box in the footer that sums up all the amounts of credit card charges to make a total with =Sum([Amount]). For some reason, I cannot pass the value from the text box to VBA or another text box on the main form because Access "cannot find the form".Here's the code
Code:
Private Sub TabCtl93_Change()
Dim Amount As Currency
Amount = Nz(CCur(Forms!BooksFullSubCC!CCchargesTotal))
Me!CCFees = Amount * 0.015
End Sub
Its really simple - Access should take the amount from the text box (CCchargesTotal) on the subform and then put it the result of some simple math into a text box on the other form.When I try and change tabs to initiate the code, i get "Run-time error '2450':Microsoft Access cannot find the referenced form 'BooksFullSubCC'."
I've checked the spelling, rewritten the code, everything. I even tried to make a text box on the main form with control source =[Forms]![Books FullSub CC]![CCchargesTotal] but that didnt work either...

Greetings - some help required please:
I have an intermittent error occurring on an Access 2k form giving the error
message "cant find the macro '.'" although there are no macros on the form.
After much trawling around I believe this may be due to a space being
mis-keyed into one of the event properties of one of the form’s controls but
I have looked at each to no avail.
My question is therefore two fold:
1. If this is due to a space being keyed how do I, in code, step through
each control and it's events looking for it?, or,
2. If it's not a space what else could it be.
The form opens and works Ok most of the time, the db compacts and repairs and compiles to an MDE and the error appears to not be linked to any one control or event but seems to be triggered more often than not if move from the tab order through use of the mouse.
Ideally I don’t want to redo the form or copy the database objects into a new db as there are too many.
Any help gratefully received.
NB This query was originally posted to the vba section without much success apart from a rebuild suggestion gratefully received from WayneRyan. I thought this was a vba error but may be a macro issue, a form error or could be a general problem so apologies if this is not the correct forum, if incorrectly placed Moderators please feel free to move it
Thanks
Kevin

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.

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 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 have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time
End Date/Time
Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee
12/06/2014 01:00--12/06/2014 03:00------John Smith
12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe
13/06/2014 02:00--13/06/2014 05:00------John Smith
13/06/2014 08:00--13/06/2014 08:00------Jane Doe
I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?

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.

Ok, so I made a registration website with FrontPage and published it. The registration page has several text boxes and a submit button. I was testing it out and entered a few dummy names. The conformation page popped up and said everything was ok. So I'm assuming the data successfully uploaded into the Access DB that I linked it to while in development.
My problem is when I go to the folder where the DB resides there so no data in the tables. I'm thinking that maybe when the website gets published a copy of the DB is moved somewhere and I'm looking in the wrong place? This is the first time I have made a webpage or used FrontPage so please excuse my ignorance, hehe.
