hello
is it possible to change the default primary key error message that appears when a duplication of the primary key is made in a form?? in other words how can i make those error messages more user friendly??
thank you :)
I saw the solution to this on this forum a while back but no matter what I search under I cant seem to find it again!
Can someone remind me how to change the Title of the error message boxes I can change the error message - by changing the Err.Description - but how do you replace the 'Microsoft Office Access' with your own Title?
I am running Access 2003 on XP.
Hi its me again.
i have an other table issue.
I have some required fields.
When a user fills in a form, i and forgets a required field, an error pops up. But i want to change what the error says. I tried getting it by using validationrules. but i can't reach it. The access message overrules mine.
Hello all,
I am re-working an old database that 'grew up' the wrong way. It is a medical patient database and has 4 main tables. Primary key of main data table is Medical Record number (MR#), a user entered field (I know...). This links to 3 other tables: Diagnoses (indexed by MR# as well, 1-to-1 relationship with main table), Consults (indexed by a compound key of MR# and date, 1 to many relationship), and Procedures (indexed as well by MR# and date; 1 to many as well).
Here is my plan, and I want to know if I'm going to go about it the right way:
I will first delete the relationships between these tables.
I will then give the main table an autonumber field called PatientIndex, and each other table their own autonumber (DiagnosisIndex, ConsultIndex, ProcedureIndex). I will also give each of the other 'daughter' tables a PatientIndex field as well. I will populate the PatientIndex fields of the daughter records with a VBA routine that matches their MR# with the MR# in the main table, and then inserts the corresponding PatientIndex.
Now that each table has no relationships, and has all the right fields, I suspect Access will allow me to change the Keys for each table, and create new relationships, and it should all work cleanly. The goal is to have each table indexed by an autonumber field that is unrelated to user entry, and to link them by the Primary key.
Does this sound like the right approach? As to why do this if it works OK, it's a matter of maintenance. It's simply too buggy as it stands, and it's torturing me. Will my plan work without crashing the db?
HI
I did some BAD planning before I started creating my database and I set a text field ("field1") of a table ("table1") as primary key, then I linked this field to a field in another table ("table2", one-to-many relationship). Now I wan't to change some values in table1 in "field1" defined as primary, but I can't (Access refuses to do so...).
Because I have a lot of data entered allready I would like to know if there is any way for me to change values in "table1"/"field1" and that all the linked fields in other tables ("table2") would change correspondingly??????
I hope my question is clear enough to understand.
thanx in advance
I was wondering if it is possible to change the primary view for queries from the table view to say, the Pivot Chart view?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an existing contact information database which consists of a number of tables, the main table has a primary key which is currently set to NUMBER.
There is a relationship between it and 2 other tables via that key (ContactID).
I would now like to change the primary key (ContactID) to AUTONUMBER, so that any new records added, have a number assigned automatically. I also need any newly created primary key number to be used in the child tables created as a result.
Is this possible ? (without renumbering my existing tables/records)
many thanks
I want to change misspelled records, but the misspells are in the primary key of my table. By changing the values of primary key fields, can I break table relationships? I'm not changing field names, just field values of a primary key field.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following:
1) Shows all records
2) Requery
3) ApplyFilter.
The Where Condition for the filter is:
Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
-Thanks, Sean

Hey guys,
Anyone know how to go about catching the "Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value." message box and perhaps showing a custom message instead?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
I'm trying to record a payment, but I keep getting this error upon completion of my form:
Index or primary key cannot contain a null value.
I've checked the data types and relationships and they seem to be fine.
Here are links to my Access files (2007 & 2003)for your reference:

I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)

I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
Any ideas how to delete them?
I am getting the following message:
"you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression qryMaxDays.Days Between 0 and 50 as part of an aggregate function."
I have other queries just like this and they run with no problem. any ideas? :confused:
SELECT Count(qryMaxDays.Days) AS [Number Of], qryMaxDays.Days
FROM qryMaxDays
GROUP BY qryMaxDays.Days
HAVING (((qryMaxDays.Days) Between 0 And 50));
I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL
SELECT PqryExpiredPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Orig_Exp_Date, PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key, PqryNewPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Name
FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?
I get the following error message when I open a form, but I cant see anything wrong:

Private Sub Form_Activate()
If Me.SumOfTotalGVS > 16 Then
MsgBox "You have exceded the total amount of GVS on the CATT site"
Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 255

Else
Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 16777215

End Sub
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this line of code please. Im trying to count the number of records on another form that is open. This is an On_Click command from another form.
