Is it possible to use a formula in the Caption property of a page in a tab control (i.e. to make it dynamic)
I have a number of tabs each with their own subform (with each subform driven by its own unique query)
I'd like the tab name to include the number of records returned by that query (so as records are added, the tab name is automatically updated with the new number)
So something along the lines of :
Page 1 (" & DCount("[ID]","[qryQuery1]") & ")"
Such that the page name appears as :
Page 1 (7)
I know I can code this programmatically but then that code has to be triggered by some event and I need the counts to be as real-time as feasibly possible rather than requiring the user to click on a control to trigger it. I was hoping by using a formula directly in the Caption property of the page, it would be dynamically updated every time a new record was added without the need to trigger an event first.
I'm familiar with SQL but not with Access97 - some wierd syntax here!
I'm creating a Query that is to Delete records from a table depending on a non-key field in a second table.
I first tried an INNER JOIN
DELETE Activity_Preferences.* FROM Activity_Preferences INNER JOIN Activity_Key Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
which was initially accepted but then complained about the INNER JOIN after I went in a second time to 'fix' the error.
I've finally got the following syntax accepted:-
DELETE Activity_Preferences.* FROM Activity_Preferences, Activity_Key WHERE Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
But when executed still gets the following error (same as for the INNER JOIN):-
I have a multi user 97 DB which also has a 2000 front end with tables linked to the 97 version. The 97 version won't open on 97 machines, 'unknown database format'......at first I thought someone had converted it but it doesn't look like that has been done. When I open on a 2000 machine there is no option to 'convert to a previous version'.
I am a long time user of ACCESS but use ACCESS97 for specific reasons. Have ACCESS97 operating on a PC with Win2000 and WinXP Home. Recently had to buy a new PC with WinXP Professional. Cannot seem to install the software. In the process get some error messages. First,
"An error has occurred at changing workgroup data base"
I click OK then get,
couldn't create SYSTEM.MDW file; after setup completes, reboot and run Workgroup Administrator before you run this application
I don't know what to do next. Do not know what the Workgroup Administator is. Two questions:
1. Is it possible to run ACCESS97 on this OS? 2. If so, can you advise on how to do the installation successfully?
I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Cheers!
Hi! I've got a problem with a csv file from our MRP system. It always contains spaces BEFORE the data in the fields and I need to ignore them when I group the data. The crosstab report works absolutely fine but I don't get the right output because of those darned spaces!!:mad:
...not too much in the archives on this one, so any help appreciated...
We have an Access97 MDE with a split backend that is shared over a network.
Most of our users have WinNT installed and the Access application works fine. We have a user who has Win2K and Office2k and every time this person tried to launch the Access97 app, he receives the following error:
The database that you are trying to open or convert is currently in use, or you do not have permission to open it exclusively.
I have checked the Security Permissions for that user and he actually has full rights (Admin) for the Network folder.
I've been working on many other domains but very new to Access world. Anyway,coming to the point.I have a database built on Access and the reporting is being done on Excel.Till now,there is no connection between both.Users are doing copy/paste procedure for reporting in excel.i tried to connect both and get the data directly in to excel with out copy/paste procedure(i.e., just by refreshing the excel sheet would do). But when i create an ODBC connection between them, it says that the required permissions are not given to you by the administrator.I'm trying to create a file DSN.so,can anyone tell me what exactly i need for this?is it the admin rights of access database (or) the admin rights of the folder where the mdb file is located?little confused on this.I already have the admin rights on the folder where the mdb file is located but still getting the error.admin rights of the datasbe cannot be given because no one knows the password of administrator ID of Access database(little funny but it is the fact!)
can anyone please let me know how can i get through this problem as this would be the crucial thing for this project.
I bought a database about 10 years ago and still uses it. Since then we changed our address and need to update all the forms as the address is hard coded into the forms. When I tried to modify any thing it tells me I don't have the Permission. I tried to contact the programmer, but he's been out of business years ago and was unable to contact him.
How do I reset the permission on MDB? I tried Tools->Security->User/GroupPremissions and it only shows Admin user with "Read Design" checked on all object names. And if I check on any other permission it says I need administer permission.
I tried upvmsa2k.zip "Users' passwords viewer v3.2" and it shows admin user with garbled up password. Also tried MDWRecovery, but it says there's no user or password.
PLZ direct me about this security problem in Access 97.
I heve a serious problem with security of MDB files in ACCESS 97.
I heve a MDB database file in my company and shered it on my system so every other user have remote access to MDB file. then I created a workgroup file (.MDW) and enabled multiuser security For the shared MDB file but when each user dejoin from administrative workgroup file (.mdw), He/she can access to all table without any user/pass control.
How can I do with this problem, is there any reliable solution for multiuser security in Access 97 database files.
I noticed that I did not put a question mark next to this the first time I posted it, so maybe it was not clear that I was hoping for a response. Here I go again. We are trying to reinstall Access97 (the OS is Office XP) and having problems getting all of the drivers to install. Using the "Add or Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that all drivers have been installed, it says that the Excel drivers are installed, though it is grey, which I take to mean that it is not completely installed. On the computer in question, it says that the database drivers take up 1329k and the excel drivers are" installed" (no size listed). On my computer, on which the excel drivers are available, it lists the database drivers as 2009k and the excel drivers 258k (it does not say "installed"). Anybody have any ideas?
My organization recently upgraded from Office97 to Office2000. A database that we had on 97 is giving us errors when we try to run it under 2000. I have been able to fix some of the errors. This one has me stumped.

does anyone know if it's possible to "install" the runtime version of access 97 (we do have developer's edition, so can distribute the run-time version) to a thumb drive so that it would run without having to install it on each computer that one was going to use the thumb drive on - is there any add'l software that would make this possible/ - the application is for figure skating clubs - with distribution of up to 1000 copies - the idea is to distribute them to member clubs and various officers could use the application and exchange up-to-date data by passing on the thumb drive - this also would hpefully avoid all installation problems with pc's having various versions of access already installed, etc. - thanks for any suggestions- jim
I am importing a text file into Access97 using fixed width with import specifications that specify NO to indexing. However, when I run the Macro, it automatically indexes the first field (which is a long integer).
Why? How do I import the text file without having the index automatically added?
I have a form with a subform. The subform displays records in datasheet format but is not linked to the main form.
I am attempting to get the hightlighted record on the subform to appear in the main form's caption bar. If I isolate the subform then that subform caption shows the current record on the datasheet. I can't get it to work on the main form however.
On the main form's current event I have Me.Caption = Me.Subform.Form.EmployeeID The main form caption only shows the first record on the subform.
Can anyone help me on this. I have searched everywhere Regards
I am trying to write a Macro which will change the Caption of Several Tab Control Pages, based on entries in a Table.
Here is the entire three step macro:
Open Form Form Name: Draft View: Design Filter Name: <none> Where Condition: <none> Data Mode: Edit Window Mode: Normal SetValue Item: [Forms]![Draft]![TabCtl32].[Pages](1).[Caption] Expression: =DLookUp("[BFL Team]","BFL Teams","[ID] = 8") Close Object Type: Form Object Name: Draft Save: Yes
All Appears OK, except I get two different results, depending on what I try to name the Tab Caption.
If the Value in the "BFL Teams" Table pointed to by the DLookUp Statement is a number (Like 1234), all is well, the Macro Executes as expected, and the Tab Caption is updated to 1234.
What is madening is that I want to use an alphanumeric name. When I try to use anything other than Numbers, (Lets use 'Text' as an example) the Macro Barfs on the second statement with the message:
"Microsoft Access can't find the name "Text" you entered in the expression"
I am using Access 97, if that helps. The entire Database is automated using only Macros (No Modules).
This is my Fantasy Football League Draft Software that I have developed over the past several years. I am by no means an Access Ace, I just got this thing to work through trial and (lots of) error, for the most part.
What I am trying to do is to automate the changes I have to make every year, and one of them is to handle changes of Team Names, and I have a Tab Control for each Team with the Team Name as the Caption.
I would just like to have the Captions on each Team Page to be updated from entries in the "BFL Teams" Table, as part of a Macro I would run to automatically set up the Tables, Forms and Reports each year, rather than make the Brute Force Changes on an anual basis.
I am sure that I am just doing something bone headed, but for the life of me, I am at a loss on how to proceed.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to look into this.
I'm trying to customise the error message for Input Mask Violations, so that it references the control where the error has occured, rather than just being a generic error message.
I can make this work using the code below:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) Const INPUTMASK_VIOLATION = 2279 If DataErr = INPUTMASK_VIOLATION Then MsgBox "Please check that the information you have added in the " + Screen.ActiveControl.Name + " field is in the appropriate format." Response = acDataErrContinue End If End Sub
BUT, all my field names are shortened e.g. Mobile Number = MobileNo, so I want to use the caption property instead. I assumed I could just change it to "Screen.ActiveControl.Caption". But this doesn't work at all!
On a form I have multiple labels. In the Click event of all these labels I would like to call a generic function for futher processing. For this processing however, I need the caption of the label the user clicked on. How do I determine this caption?
I want to create a form that will be the layout of my storage warehouse. I actualy have a layout on paper but was thinking of doing it on a form for the users to have a better view. The location of the inside warehouse have 60 location or Bin. The outside one has 80 Bins. This will need 2 query. 1 for the inside Bins and 1 for the outside Bins. They are both the same query except for the caption of each command button.
What will be the beast way to create the query as to the criteria is to read from thee caption of the command button. If the caption is 50 then give me everything in 50.
Hi All. I created form with unbound listboxs based on query which included Credit field that I want to calculate total and show result in caption of window. If is it possible how to do it? Thanks.
I have a Form in which there is a textbox. I would like the name (caption) of the Form (that shows in the tab at the top of the form) to be named/updated to whatever is entered into the textbox.
