I had set Data Entry to True in order to always default to a blank record. However that locked up my ability to use the arrows to navigate between records in the database. Is there a work around?
View RepliesI have a form which has a subform that holds records from a table. When in the table i can move through the records with my up and down arrows but when I am in the subform i can not move in the same manner with up and down arrows. What needs to be done on subform to allow user to move through records using up and down arrows.

Client has requested exception type reporting noting when a price in a Bill of Materials (BOM) changes.
I am thinking to solve this with the following steps:
1) EXEC SP to run "this week's" BOM reports, automated, figure out how to print to PDF or something
2) EXEC SP to run "this week vs last week" exception report. A giant nasty:
Code:
SELECT cols....
FROM [xyz]
LEFT JOIN [histxyz] ON [xyz].[partnumber] = [xyzhist].[partnumber]
WHERE [xyz].[cola] <> [histxyz].[cola]
OR [xyz].[colb] <> [histxyz].[colb]
OR etc...
through each of the fieleds that are hooked up to change tracking. Run that SP once, then use that temp table to generate customized reports based on parts per product which had a change.
3) Update weekly state snapshot of all parts remembering this week's state... transfer data from [xyz] to [xyzhist], so TRUNCATE then INSERT commands.
Seems slow and monotonous, the snapshotting "shell game" aspect... perhaps I may wrap that all into a transfer SP and allow the data to stay right on the server as it moves tables.
I have put some VBA code into my database to link and text boxes to different tables. The code works, but once I enter a Tracking Number that finds a NABP number I am unable to go to a dofferent record or save.

hi all
basically i want to have a button that opens up a form that links to the record i'm currently viewing. But then i want to be able to navigate to the other records, in access when you use the wizard to find specific data on a form it doens't then let you navigate to the other records
anyone got any ideas
cheers

I need to modify the access 2010 database. But when I open it the navigate pane of that database is disabled. How to make it enable?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi am using a form like form customer orders in northwind 2003 database. in my form there are 3 sub forms.data of subform1 will be filtered by one of the field in the main form.subform2 will be filtered by one of the field in the subform1 and ...
also i have added some code for highlighting current row of each form/sub form , now my problem is when navigate thorough records of main form by using navigation button , showing each record after pressing navigation button is a bit slow (it takes 5 seconds), problem is from subforms or codes for highlighting current row?
does access have the ability to create a query where all records are present, all fields are present, yet some data within some fields aren't displayed?
View 10 Replies View RelatedWe have a function that will allow a user to navigate to a text file and import it to a database. I've been asked to make it import ALL the text files from all sub-directories in the directory IF they've never been imported before (based on FileName and LastModifiedDate). I've set up a table to track what's getting imported (tbl_ImportHistory). I'm thinking what I need to do is use the previous coder's GetFileName function in a recursive loop removing the navigation request and adding the comparison and then, if it imports the file, the name and date need to be added to the tbl_ImportHistory table. But I'm completely unsure of how to do it.
I'm posting the GetFileName function below. I believe once I've got it modified the rest of the code can be left intact as it just parse's and loads whatever file is selected in the GetFileName function.
<code>
Function GetFileName() As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.AllowMultiSelect = False
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant

I have a main form that controls 2 subforms. sbfActiveProjects displays a list of records that have not been flagged as complete. Upon clicking on a record in sbfActiveProjects, the details of that record show up in sbfProject. This functionality works great, except when I try to create a new record. The code works fine for getting a new record, however once I run the command I lose my ability to navigate to other active records.
Code:
Private Sub cmdNewProject_Click()
'set focus to sbfProject
sbfProject.SetFocus
'navigate to new record
DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acNewRec
End Sub
I've been working on a database for work for the last few weeks and this forum has been a Godsend many times over, but now I have a problem that I can't find any reference to.
Using Access 2003, I have a form that uses 3 cascading combo boxes in the header to find a unique record, and a command button that brings up the rest of the record into unbound fields in the body of the form.
It works fine for finding records, but whenever I enter/change data on it, the record doesn't save. The navigation buttons at the bottom don't work - the Next/Previous record buttons are disabled, and the First/Last Record buttons do nothing.
Navigation buttons are enabled/activated in the properties.
I tried getting around this by creating a Save Record command button - first using the wizard, then using VBA code DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRecord as advised by [missinglinq;696351], but this still doesn't save the changes.
I can add record successfully... but can't view it accordingly when I press navigate buttons in the form...
Database is attached ....
hey, little prob for improving my database..
In a box on the form i have the date automatically entered. however it is also possible for people to change the date for say the day before or the day after.
SO what i really want is for the date to still autoset (most of the entries will be for the current day) but i also want two little arrows on the box (like standard scroll bar style) to give me whatever date in the future, or past, that i require.
at the moment this can be done manually, but i want to make it as simple as possible so no gets to befuddled!!!
cheers for the help (if anyone can)

I keep getting these annoying up/down arrows in the calculated control of a form. The top one is ok, but the bottom one has these. How do I get rid of them.
I've checked the alignment on the control properties in the form and the settings are the same in the table field properties.
In my forms I would often like to move forward or back a records, usually a date by keyboard alone.
The keyboard arrows are good but they are normally used to navigate along a line etc.
Page Up & Down again better & often used for moving between records but do sometime need there native functions.
Trying to avoid changing the functions of these keys depending of what part fo the form I am on or current function I an doing.
It would have been great if there was a Alt Left or Ctrl Left that gave a different ansii.
Alt N - next, Alt P - previous, not pretty.
I would like to have a combo box that doesn't show the drop-down arrow when the user selects it. You say, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the combo box?
Well, look. In a form I have a datasheet (in a subform) that only displays data, so it is locked from editing. Within the datasheet is a field that contains a combo box with a row source from a linked table, and the control source of that combo box is the primary key. Essentially I'm utilizing the combo box because it is smart, and allows me to display linked data: this combo box contains two columns, and I set the first column's width to "0" so that it would only display the field I want. I didn't use a subform because, in datasheet view, subform fields are not displayed in the linear fashion I need, but instead go hide under the "+" button for each record.
So, even though everything is locked from editing, the combo box arrow still appears when the user clicks on the combo box field, and I don't want it to. It's just misleading to the user. Anyone know how to disable the arrows? Or, if you catch my drift, do you know of another simple solution?
I'm not a keen programmer in case you couldn't figure that out. If you've got any VB tips then let me know.
Hi
I am compiling a database of my fire system 'engineers reports' by creating a form that is identical to the one that I print and give to the customer.
I used combo boxes to look up system type details, from another table, after inputting the serial number. As these combo boxes can only produce one value I hid the arrows behind background coloured rectangles.
When I print the form the arrows disappear, the combo boxes expand by the width of the arrow and the last 2 digits of right-aligned numbers disappear behind my rectangles.
This form has over 200 controls (systems types, parts used numbers and quantities etc) and I need to print it on a single sheet of paper. I cannot afford to leave extra space between my controls.
The only thing I can think of is setting the visible property of my rectangles to screen only, which is not ideal.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I support a database for some users who don't find the built in search function (ctl+f) to be useful enough.
The main data entry form of the database has fields for subdivision, lot number and address, any of which they may use to find the record they want. They're requesting that I add two types for searching:
* select sub and/or lot number as search criteria and have the selected record populate the screen
* type in a freeform address and have the record populate the screen
I'm debating about what the best approach would be to do this. Should I have a command button which opens a pop up form with the fields? If so, what is the code I will need to take the data selected/entered on the popup, run a query and then populate the underlying form? I think I need to pass parameters but I'm inexperienced at this so I need some guidance.
Also thinking that if I do create a popup form that I'll use it in the open event on the data entry form as well.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a database with a huge table on the back-end, and then I want to set up various front-ends that will only show particular records that a user is interested in.
I notice that, when I query the big table without any join, I get all the records and also a space for entering a new record--that's what I want. But, when I add a join that serves to filter the records to the ones the particular user would be interested in, the space for entering a new record goes away. This is the case whether I view the query itself, or the form that uses the query.
Does anyone know how I can keep the ability to add new records while also making the query a bit more complex?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
I have attached an image of a table which contains order details which has been imported from a txt file.
I require the postcode (in the customer column) to be transferred to the postcode column next to the despatch date for each order. The address rows can vary but there is never a blank line in between an orders' address - only a blank line between each actual order. And the postcode will ALWAYS appear at the end of the address.
To finalize the process, I would query the data based on the Despatch date column (ISDATE function) to then filter the details to show one row only.
So basically, how can I navigate the table to transfer the postcode to the postcode column?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
Hi Everyone
In Access 2007, we are able to use a multivalue field, however I don't see the functionality for it anywhere, anyone else notice this??
From a Access database that I inherited. Users used to be able (from a form) run a query and then add data (i.e, new rows). But now that the the database is split and the backend is on MS-SQL, they no longer can do this. I do not think this will be possible. I think they will have to add data directly to the table or have another form for adding data.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a query that shows the Student ID, First Name, and Last Name.I then created a split form from the query.Finally I added an unbound text box called search with a button next to that has a macros within it:
Code:
[LastName] Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchID]![Text14] & "*" Or [FirstName] Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchID]![Text14] & "*"
1. I love that it searches for the name you type in and displays the record
2. What I don't like is that you can edit the record.
I tried to set the AllowEdit in the form properties to no but that also took away the ability to type in the search text box. Is there a way to allow typing in the text box but not allow changes in the record?
I have Server Inventory Database where everything is entered manually. I would like to add the ability to automatically update some of the data.
Ideally this would be done via querying WMI and inserting the values retrieved.
I would like to be able to have a button that when selected would query WMI of the server that is currently being viewed and update whichever records I define.
I have a button to navigate to the next record. I also have a button to add a new record. I want the next record button to be able to navigate to the next record but I don't want it to be able to create a new record if I click the button while being on the last record. I want it to stop at the last record, making my add a new record button the only way to create a new record. How to do that?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple Access database that contains a form where users enter sheduling information...I wish to limit a group of users to be able to read this information only and not modify or add to it.
The tables are in a back end mdb. The rest is in a front end mdb. And the users actually use the mde file when working with the schedule.
What in your opinion is the least complicated method for providing some users with the ability to add/modify and some with read only.
Thank you.
