Hi all,
I have a query which i'm trying to link to a listbox on a form.
One of the colums i'm trying to get in the listbox is from a lookup.
It should return either "in" or "out" but is returning the number values 1 & 2.
so....
i'm trying to write some criteria in my query that says if=1 then "in" etc
Here's what i've got but i'm getting a circular ref error.
In-Spec / Out of Spec: IIf([In-Spec / Out of Spec]=1,"IN","OUT")
Can anyone help please.
Cheers,
Spinkung. :)
I have (for this post) 2 tables.
department
====================
pk | d_id
--------------------------
| d_fund
fk1 | d_status_code_id
| d_department
fk2 | d_building_id
fk3 | d_contact_id
fk4 | d_note_id
| d_modified
| d_user
contact
====================
pk | c_id
--------------------------
| c_banner
| c_last_name
| c_first_name
| c_middle_initial
| c_job_title
fk1 | c_department_id
| c_department_text
| c_email
| c_phone
| c_modified
| c_user
As you can see there is a circular reference between them as each need the other's pk to ref a contact and department respectfully.
This will cause a problem during data entry will it not?
And if so, would removing the "req" status on either on remove the issue?
thanks
Noob! I am building an inventory db. I need a query(s) that uses a Qty available to add inventory added, subtract inventory used and put the final total back into Qty Available. I'd prefer to do in all in one query if possible. Any suggestions?

I've created a db I plan on using for pricing out parts, the issue I'm having is that I'm getting a circular reference error.
The way my db is setup is like this Partstbl contains the information for all parts made. Some of these parts can have subassemblies and these parts will also be in the "partstbl". In another table called "Subassemblytbl" I choice the parts from the "parttbl". Parttbl has a one to many relationship with "subassemblytbl" The error happens when I created a query that was to calculate the part cost. This cost would then be displayed in the subassembly subform on my main form. I'm having some difficulty explaining this
if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it
This is how I have my database set up currently, except the part highlighted in red.
I was asked to see if I can use the CAT (one) to narrow down the CLIN (to many) and this is how I think it should be structured. Is it okay to have this kind of circular relationship within the database?
Hi Foks,
I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times but I'm not having much success in searching for it as I can't think what to put in the search engine. My apologies in advance for the longwindedness of this posting.
Anyway, I have a database for tracking projects. As the projects evolve, they are sometimes amalgamated, split, dependant on other projects or implemented under a common contract with one or more other projects. Thus, a project can have none-specific relationships with multiple other projects.
To accomodate this:
I have a juction table, tbl_Related_Projects, with fields Project_ID and Related_Project_ID set up as a joint PK.
The PK of tbl_Prj_Details has 1-to-many relationships to both of these fields to create a "circular" many-to-many relationship between the tbl_Prj_Details.Project_ID field and itself.
A comment field in tbl_Related_Projects describes the nature of the relationship between the projects.
;) I hope I you're still with me and following this!;)
On my fdlg_Prj_Details, I have a subform for tbl_Related_Projects. A user can select related projects from a drop down list (Combo Box). So far so good.
Here (finaly :eek: ) is the question: When a user selects a related project (Project B) on the related project subform for Project A, how do I get the reverse relationship to show for Project B i.e. Project A is to appear in the related projects subform of the Project B record, along with the same comment?
I can't even begin to think how to achieve this but as it is a relationship issue, it must be what relational databases are all about and have been solved many times.
Currently a user must select the appropriate project in the related project subform for each record and enter the comment twice. The possibility and liklihood is that the relationship will not always be noted for both ends i.e. A will be related to B, but B not related to A.
:cool: Small caveat for any helpers here, I can copy, cut, paste and stumble/modify code, but at this early stage in my database carreer (ha!), I cannot write it from scratch - too many traps for beginners.
Having re-read this a number of times before posting, it is occuring to me that this is a more complicated problem than I thought it was. Many thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Keith.
I created a query that pulls information from 2 other queries and everything was going fine until I saved the query. I now get a circular reference error
SELECT [CashValue Link Query1].Facility,
[CashValue Link Query1].[Financial Class],
[CashValue Link Query1].Date,
[CashValue Link Query1].Date,
[CashValue Link Query1].[Total A/R],
[CashValue Link Query1].Current,
[code]....
I'm working on my first report and am trying to get my textbox, tboJob to show a field value and not the ID. I have tried the following Dlookup in my control source with no luck.
Code:
=DLookUp("[JobName]","Jobs","ID=" & [tboJob])
JobName is the field I want to show from the table Jobs.
Hi
I have designed a couple of DB's using Access 2002 in Access 2000 format. While these all work perfectly in Access 2002 there a few users still using Access 2000 and are experiencing errors (specifically with Graph.exe which is 10.0 in 2002 and 9.0 in 2000 and also with the Calendar Control which is 10.0 in 2002 and 9.0 in 2000).
Is there a way to use the 2002 versions of these controls in 2000 or do I have to create the DB using the Access 2000 versions (in which case would I need to design the DB in Access 2000 instead of 2002).
Can anyone suggest anything or point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Anyone seen this before? The scenario is -
A distributed application on ten machines - all running the MDE in runtime.
All machines are running perfectly.
Minor changes made to the application and new MDE built.
After roll-out, six machines work perfectly with the new version. The remaining four run the application but experience the dreaded "#Name" in various places. Revert back to the previous version - and all run perfectly again.
Cannot be missing files - have not called for any and previous version works.
Cannot be broken references - six are running OK.
Cannot investigate on any of the machines because they are running MDEs.
??
Is it possible to set which VBA reference boxes are ticked each time a database is loaded?
A problem is created when a person amending the database to the person using it has different setups and so some of the references show as "missing" and so compile errors show on loading.
We are using Microsoft Access 97.
Any help most appreciated.

Hi,
Iīm trying to run a db in a97 on an XP machine.
Iīm having problems with the datevalue function. Now I know the date function sometimes malfunctions due to a references problem, so I'm thinking maybe this is the same thing. However, there are no missing references.
I tried searching the forum, but couldnīt find the answer.
Fuga.
Hi guys, ive been developing a database for someone. As some coding has been involved, I have added some references etc as I went along.
I'll be soon handing it over to them to use - will they have to add the references for the database to run on their comp? If so, is there more user friendly way of doing it than going into the VB bit etc?
Cheers...
I have a database with a form. The form has quite a bit of code. This database is on a network. On some of the computers the Form will not open. When I go into Microsoft Visual Basic Tools References I am finding the following.
MISSING: Microsoft CDO 1.21 Library
MISSING: Microsfot ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library
Can anyone give me some advice on this issue?
Thanks for your help.
I have created a list box that acts as search criteria. It has 4 columns, SerialNo, Company, System, Processor. I need to reference these columns in VB with a sql statement that basically says:
Select * from SystemInfo
Where SerialNo = listboxSerialNo
and Company = listboxCompany
and System = listboxSystem
and Processor = listboxProcessor
My question is how do I refer to each of the columns in the listbox in my where statement? The listbox has the name, 'lstcriteria'. I can use just that in the reference and it will use the serialno only. How do I parse out each of the columns?
Thanks,
B
Hi All,
I have an Access DB, which keeps having a problem with resources.
When I go in and refresh the resource, it works fine.. For a while then same problem comes up again.
I've had to refresh the references several times this week. Is this down to a bigger problem?

Love this forum! It orginally helped me build a database to manage customers back in 2002 (using Access 2002). Becuase of our slow server, I was forced to spilt the database and it's been great for years (some glitches). Recently one of the users upgraded to Access 2003. When he sync's to the master file, the master has problems. "...contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'OWC10.DLL' version 1.1" I reviewed the references and it's looking for Microsoft Outlook 11, instead of 10. When other users sync, everyone now inherits this problem. Do you have any ideas for a solution so I don't have to fix reference problems? All users will eventually be on Access 2003 so having him stop using it would only be a temporary solution. Is there a patch or upgrade to fix this problem? Any help? thanks in advance....
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I get my form filed to return the results of a query that I have? For example I have my query set to use the month and year that are in my form in a cbo to get the desired results for Balance Growth. I want this Balance Growth result to show in my form field after the year is updated in my cbo. Right now in my Balance growth field on my form I have it linked to the query but it has the #Name? in it. Thanks for any help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using vba code to create a new MS Access 2002 database and copy the current database tables, forms,etc into it.
The problem I have is there are several references that I need that are not set in the new database I created. One of them is the DAO reference. My question is, is there a way that when I copy the DB the references from one will be copied to the other? or is there a way to set the preference and priority using VBA?, DAO needs to be higher up on the list inorder to work.
I use the following code to create a new db
Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog
cat.Create ("provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & sName & ";")
I then use the transferdatabase command to copy the tables, forms, etc to the new database
is there a different way to copy the current db into a new db that will include the references
I also can add a reference using the following code
Set ref = References.AddFromFile(spath)
AddReference = true
But this doesn't set the priority
hi guys,
i have 20 odd machines sharing the one access front end, however i find that i have to recompile the front end on some machines as the references dont match up. i'm assuming the office install is slightly different with the paths or something. there are just 3 machines that have this error but it is frustrating as i have to recompile and have 3 different copies of the one program.
is it possible to have all of my references stored on the server and they replace the current ones? i tried putting them in a folder and using the browse button but it only updated some references and not others. the obvious error i have with the 3 different ones is the trim function, it always throws an error where i use that.
thanks
i am having issues with certain users re references, I get weird errors when sending emails through Outlook, is there anyway running some code for me to check a users references?the below is what i have and everything works fine, so would like to check they have these

I'm simply trying to copy a group of cells I've got selected in a separate workbook to the existing sheet.This chunk of code works when I'm testing it in 2 sheets that are in the same file
Code:
Selection.Copy
With Sheets("testdump").Range("B" & y).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1)
.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, Transpose:=True
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, Transpose:=True
End With
I need to make it work while I'm pointing to a different file. This Errors Out
Code:
Dim appXL As Excel.Application
Dim wbk As Excel.Workbook
Set appXL = New Excel.Application
Set wbk = appXL.Workbooks.Open(GrabIt)
[code]...
The application.copy works. I don't know how to structure the 'Pastespecial'. I've used the code to reference other workbooks many times. I'm actually editing in a code that was working for a slightly different application. The sheet I want the information in is open and selected. The sheet it's coming from is open in an instantiated instance.
I am cleaning up a database that has been around for some time and I wish to be able to check for references within REPORTS/VBA Module code/ Form Designs etc. anywhere there is likely to be a reference to either an Access TABLE or QUERY.... I know there is the 'Object Dependencies' function within Access that will go some way to telling you what relies on what, but this is simply not comprehensive enough in that it doesn't go down to Form design level where further references can hide...
Countless times I have checked and subsequently deleted tables that I considered redundant... only to find later on there was some SQL Source reference to a table or query buried in the design of a form that I had overlooked....
Any way to definitively check and to ensure that all traces of a specific table or query are accounted for...?
I am trying to create a database which crosschecks specifications against building codes. My problem is that it's not feasable to put all of the information about a Building into the Room table, though many codes require information about the Building in order to classify the room. How would I count (or list/get details from) a room in the Rooms table, for use in an SQL statement about the Buildings table.If there are up to 5 rooms in the building, do at least 2 rooms contain a fire escape?
My Rooms table contains information about if the room has a fire escape, as well as references its parent Building ID. How would I query the rooms to count the Rooms within all buildings, and subsequently query all Buildings which have less than 2 rooms with fire escapes?I need it to return a list of the buildings which do not conform to this code.
Now this is literally my second day of programming/working with Access, but I've yet to find an answer dispite hours of searching.I think I can adapt it for the 100+ building codes/references I'll need to implement. It would be perfect to find an SQL-only way of doing this, without going into modules etc...
I have a database with forms that use ADO to access data files. In the design stage, I went into Tools/References and checked "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library", which made the ADO work.
For each "case" that is run, the application creates a separate database and copies all forms, reports, etc into it. In Access 2003, the forms in the new database still have "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library" checked, but when I run the application in Access 2007, the forms do not have "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library" checked, and the ADO will not work until I go in and manually check it myself.
Is there a way to select the ADO objects programatically or to keep ADO set as a default property in Access 2007?
Thanks so much.
