I am trying to write to different tables depending on a user selected variable (ie: depending on the year selected, the data would goto the correct table). Am I able to setup my fields in my forms to reference a predefined variable, then from there write the data to the correct table? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
View RepliesI'm using Access 2010 and am trying to pass a variable in a form field and store it in a table i.e. I have a customer database with various fields: Customer_ID, Customer_Name, Customer_Address etc. After selecting a particular record i.e. Customer_ID = 20 l need to store the record number '20' in a temporary table. I presume that l could then use Dlookup to read the info back at a later stage.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is the first time that I have done any major work with forms. After I thought I had finished a problem came up. There are several forms that are use to input information into a table. When the form is opened it grabs an automated number for tracking. The problem is, that if the form is opened and then closed it creates a line of data with all null values.
What I would like to do is have the form open, the user fills out the information, and upon pressing the "save" button, the data will save to the table. I think I need to have each text box write to a variable and then save on the click event. Or I could be completely wrong and need to do something else.
i'm guessing this is something I would learn in Forms 101 if i had ever taken that type of course
Thanks
I'm trying to write code which writes text into text boxes on a form depending of certain content of other text boxes. The names of the text boxes are all very similar
F.i. R1, R2, R3 ...... R12 if the content of these boxes are empty then the content of the corresponding text boxes VR1, IR1, VR2, IR2, VR3, IR3.......VR12, IR12 should also be empty.
In fact I am trying to write something like this
DO UNTIL i=12
if me.R(i).value = "" then
me.VR(i).value = ""
me.IR(i).value = ""
endif
LOOP
But this isn't working. The solution below works but isn't a very nice one, writing 12 times the same code
if me.R1.value = "" then
me.VR1.value = ""
me.IR1.value = ""
endif
if me.R2.value = "" then
me.VR2.value = ""
me.IR2.value = ""
endif

We are sharing an Access 2003 database amongst two departments that contains twelve (12) tables that are SQL Server linked tables. Nine (9) of the tables work just fine for people in both departments. Three (3) of the tables cannot be opened until the user refreshes the link(s) using their ODBC DSN.
We do not understand why nine of the tables work without issue but three will not.
Has anyone ever run into this issue before? Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks
I have been running queries and reports with data from our company database (a third-party system based on FoxPro2.6) by linking tables into MS Access 97 for years. We have now upgraded to XP and Office 2003, and suddenly I can no longer do this but get a message "Could not find installable ISAM".
I've tried to locate the required file on the Internet but no luck so far. Can anybody help me? I am currently using an old pc with Office 97 on it to run the reports, but it's in a different office location and makes the whole job very tedious. Are there any work-arounds?
Any help much appreciated!

when i import data from excel into access 2003.i give nothing means not import data and no error seen like process finished but nothing happend.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
My database has 4 tables. Table 1 is assembly line 1 data. Table 2 is the sizes for assembly line 1. Table 3 is assembly line 3 data. Table 4 is the sizes for assembly line 2.
The table data comes from another program - they are reimported regularly and so I cannot change, add or delete fields from these 4 tables.
I have to change tables 2 and 4 to crosstab queries and then create 2 queries that join 1+2, 3+4. That's easy enough, no problem.
But then I have to UNION queries 1+2. While 95% of the fields are the same, the most crucial are not - the sizes. Assembly line 1 has 5 less sizes than assembly line 2. I need ALL of the sizes to show in the combined query.
I need to add these 5 fields without adding them to the tables. I did manage to create a crosstab query that included the missing sizes, but now I have a 1 in those fields where I need a NULL or Zero value.
Does that make sense? Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

I'm running pro bono a linked file database for a wildlife hospital in Australia. I have a Form in which there are several fields for vets to enter data about a wildlife patient. One of these is the Collection Plan (for the patient). This is a memo field from the TBL_Accession. The Collection Plan is written in straight English on the input form, but the data entered into the table is completely reversed, reading "etinuer ot ovra siht pu/p ot ronod". Translation for the line here is "donor to p/up this arvo to reunite".
View 2 Replies View RelatedEmployees submit information into a form which translates the information into a table. The table has been in use for years. By accident some employees were writing to an archived table while others were writing the the active table. This resulted in a field called "WorkID" being duplicated across the two tables.

Hi,
My question is how do I write a C# application which performs operations on an access database, such as searching and adding records. My problem is the basic how to : how do I connect between the C# file and the access database ?
p.s.
I don't know if it's the right place to ask this question, but I also need to present the application in a form like manner. How do I connect between the c# file, the HTML file which consists of the form, and the Database ?
Or should I write the form in c# also ?
All help appreciated:)

After almost 10 years developing MS Access applications for the government, I'm attempting to write an effective resume to begin my job search. I've single-handedly designed, tested and implemented over 40 small to medium sized applications to handle everything from classified document management to personnel tracking to event planning. Most of these systems were fairly complex with pages of VBA code, automation and FE/BE structure to allow concurrent users.
I'm having a terrible time verbalizing the work I've done with Access while making it sound impressive to companies using larger, more robust systems like SQL Server or Oracle.
With the stigma that comes with Access, I would love to know how Access resumes could be written to accurately portray the ability to design logical schema, design intelligent interface and define system requirements while conveying that the skill to perform these tasks translates to other systems as well.
Can anyone here (PatHartman, ghudson, et al) provide:
A) a sample resume for an Access developer?
B) sample language to include in an Expert Access Developer resume?
I thank all of you, in advance, for your time and any assistance you can provide.
Happy coding!
I am using Access 2010. How do I prevent the object typed into the textbox on a queryform being written to the table. The result from the name typed into the textbox on my query form correctly produces the result from the query, and my macros then produce the correct report, which I can either print or close due to the controls in the heading of the report. However, when I view the table, the name typed (only) has been inserted into the correct field as a new record in the table. Is there a macro I can add (I assume to an event in the query form) to prevent this happening?

Hoi,
another question...
know about linked tables. Is it possible to put the referadres of the linked table in another table (tblserver). If this table is changed all the linked tables will refer to the new location.
Is it also possible to run script that examine of there is a connection with database one if not make a connection with database two.

Hello,
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard.
But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007.
I can't use the Package Wizard.
How can I do to solve this?
Thanks.
I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri
Masonry NSW');'
Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.
I have an Access mdb file that uses linked tables to connect to SQL Server 2000 using a System DSN. The Access database contains many databound forms that are used to update data in SQL Server. Recently, we moved the database from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2003 server. After we did this, the Access database would lock up at certain spots in the forms.
We have been investigating this for over a week, and finally realized that it seems to be a Windows 2003 issue. We have tried putting the database on two different servers running Windows 2000 and have had no issues.
We then tried putting it on two different Windows 2003 servers, and had the constant lockups.
Our original thought was that there was an issue with the new Jet drivers for Windows 2003, but we looked at the msjet40.dll on both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 and the version on all is 4.00.9025.0.
Does anybody have any idea on what could be causing this?
