If two developers are working on two seperate databases, is it possible to merge the work done in both database together, that i mean to say is, can we export the form/report/query from one database and import it in the other ?
I cannot copy Forms from one db to another db. I can copy everything else, report, queries, tables, etc. When I "export" the Form, it appears to copy. However, it does not appear in the directory where it should be. If I recopy, it says "its already there and ask to overide the present Form. Still no soap. How can you copy Forms from one db to another? This sucks big time! Please help if you can.

I have a project. There is an back end database sitting on a network share. And there is a copy of the front end for each of the users also sitting on the network share. (Ideally I would like the front end to sit on the user's local drive, but we can't trust them update the front end every time we change the code behind the form, and I don't know how to force the code change out to their drives.)
Anyway, So we have these files sitting on the network shared drive. When I do an update, I change my copy of the front-end, and after I test the change and see that it works, I then use windows explorer to copy my frontend MDB file, and paste that over the user's front-end file.
That was working fine. But about two or three months ago, if I copy and paste the files, then the user can't open the form in the pasted copy. That is about the time I was "upgraded" to Windows XP. So I had someone still on Windows 2000 do the copy and paste, and that worked. But about a month ago, with no change in that person's PC, his pasted copies no longer work.
When I say no longer work, I mean you can open the MDB file with no error, but when you try to open the form, the pointer becomes the busy pointer, but the form never opens. (Well, the longest anyone has let the machine sit is about an hour before killing access from the task list.)
So, now, I have to go to each person, and do the copy paste on their PC, and so far, that is working.
Any idea what is going on here and how I can fix it?
I have fields on a form for the Date, the Start time and the Finish time. These won't change for the next 120 records. So, upon opening a new record, I'd like the Date and times to appear there already. But here is the crux: After about 120 entries, the date and Time changes, for the next 120 entries. So, once the 'batch' is finished, or I close access, the values do not need to be remembered until I enter a new record.
I copied something like the following from a book and tried running it with various modifications, just for the Date to start with, but no luck. (It did strike me as too simple for something, clearly, as unbelievably TRICKY as my problem...) I did find quite a few posts on this here but none seemed to work for me, or made sense to me in the slightest. (I did mention that I'm a complete rookie, didn't I?)
Private Sub Acquired_date_AfterUpdate() Me!Acquired_date.DefaultValue = "'" & Me!Acquired_date.Value & "'" End Sub
I found and pasted some code which copies records from the previous record on the form. Seems to work well, but I was wondering if there is an issue with the copying of the first field which is a combo box?
Currently I have created a data base and form. I am at a point where I need to copy data from one record specific field to a different field in the new record all while creating a new record.

There is a field called NoOfPays . If this field value is 2 in the first record then I want it to insert a second record as shown above. How do I do it. I tried to append but it is not working.
Now copying the record with the maxID is not correct.
I have a [New Job Number] form in my database. In this [New Job Number] form, I have a [Purchase Orders] subform showing all open Purchase Orders. I have a button in the [New Job Number] form to open another form called [New Purchase Order]. How can I transfer all of that information from [New Job Number] into the [New Purchase Order] form through a macro? I don't know how to use VBA. Also I do know how to use basic Macros, though.
The fields I would like to transfer from [New Job Number] into [New Purchase Order] are JobName, JobNumber, and CustomerAccountNumber.
Let's say, I'm updating a record, and I have a combo-box that says transfer and another combo-box that states "where to?" - or words to those effect.
Each record has a field for credit value and a field for debit value.
When I've finished entering the current record, I want to run code that fires the event, so, copies all the data from one record, to create a new record, BUT...
1) changes the "where to" from the old record to "From" in the new record. 2) changes either the credit or debit value, to the opposite in the new record?
I would like to do this from a sub-form. I can copy a whole record, no problem, but can't seem to change field values.
I have a single table / single form on the form we are entering amounts in two fields
Split Net Values Total Net Value
We then have a further two fields
Split Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Split Net Value plus 20% Total Gross Value - which is a calculated field based on Total Net Value plus 20%
I have a further two fields
Actual Split Gross Value Actual Gross Value
I need to copy the Split Gross Value into the Actual Split Gross Value but still be able to amend the figure.
Also need to copy the Total Gross Value to the Actual Gross Value and yet again be able to amend the figure.
I have records that can be use several times and they dont change and record that change everey time. I want to be able to copy all records but also to locked older records to prevent users to change them.
In the Incidents form, i've a button which loads the frmEmployers with datasheet view.
Is it possible, by clicking/dbclicking on specific employer, his data (empid, fullname, etc) to autofill/copy to the same fields in form of incidents and save the record?
I've tried with combobox selection(Employers fullname) and autofield, but record didn't save the autofill data.
I am trying to copy a caption from a form to the clipboard so that I can later paste it into another application.
The code I have found via a search on this website 1) Clears the clipboard and then 2) copies the caption from a nominated field. 2) doesn't work as I sure I have the statements wrong.
I have a quote form that has a button which opens a simple search form with just one textbox which gives the results in a subform. (the search is for the company name and the subform results give the company name with the full address (company, add1, add2, town, county, postcode)
I would like to have a button on the search form, to copy the correct result into a textbox on the quote.Until now I have just had a cmbox on the quote with the companies and addresses listed. Unfortunately, the users are not checking this list to see if the company already exists and are adding a new company but with slightly different information, so I am getting multi companies. (i.e, smith ltd, smith limited, or Hants, Hampshire etc).
I need a button on the main search form that copies the company name from the search results subform and copies it into a textbox on the quote.I have tried this on a button but it doesn't like it:
My problem is that I want to copy the value of a text-field of form frmSnippet into another text field of form frmChange. But this is not possible, Access tells me that it can't find the form frmChange. But it's there, I checked the name.
My code looks like this:
Const cstrForm As String = "frmChange" Dim strNr As String If CurrentProject.AllForms(cstrForm).IsLoaded Then DoCmd.Close acForm, cstrForm End If DoCmd.OpenForm cstrForm, WindowMode:=acDialog
I currently have a form for a handover process and am looking to have a button to ideally take a section of inputted information from the form and place this into an email.
I want to copy all these fields from my form, ideally into a new email but if not possible then atleast just to clipboard, is there any way to do this?
We have been trying to copy data from a combo box to a field without any success.
=== Private Sub PortfolioCode_AfterUpdate() ' From the combo box "PortfolioCodek" Place the field data into Column # 1 Me.PortfolioCode = Me.Broker.Column(1) End Sub ===
I placed all of the fields in the Form Header. I found this when I tried to view the form in Form View I could not scroll down because of the scroll bars were missing even though the properties indicated they were both enabled.
My question is how do I move everything from the Form Header into the body? When I right click on the form and try to deselect Form Header I get a warning message saying everything will be deleted. how to copy and paste?!
