Creating Connections Between Forms?

Mar 29, 2013

I have a database that tracks my client information. The forms also include the agent servicing the client and the referral source from where the client came from. I also have tables and forms for each referral source and agent. Currently, if a client is referred by a referral source I go to the referral source table and make a note of it in a text box. Instead, could I tie the referral source and client table together? If, on the client form, I select that a client "Tom" came from my referral source "john" could it tie the client to the referral and note it on the referral form? My referral box on the client form sources the table of my referrals.

Maximum Number Of Connections

May 4, 2005

Hi,
we use access for localisation in our application. The business object which accessess the access uses DAO connectivity and we often land to
"Too many client tasks" problem.

is it wise to change the DAO to ADO? if so the above problem will go off?
what are the chances that the problem still persists?

is that access has any limits on the number of connections? like 64, 255? or is that ADO/DAO has any limitaions on the number of concurrent connections to access DB?

Pls help, your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Venkat.

MS Access/ Oracle Connections.

Jun 20, 2006

Hello Guy,

We use an Oracle base software called Trapeze and Microsoft Access sometime used as a front end to access the Trapeze oracle tables.
Due to the possible dangers of allowing the users Access, Is there a way to block the users from changing the oracle tables and only be able in MS Access to create reports and queries? Trapeze's security is antiquated and uses Oracle to validate accessibility. Since a user has to be created in Oracle, with update, delete, read, write, append rights, for Trapeze to work correctly, a user can connect directly to the Db through Access and make changes directly to the data, unless the ability to prevent them from modifying the tables and only create reports and queries that they can save.

MS Access ODBC Connections

Feb 28, 2007

Hello all, is there a way to change an ODBC connection in MS Access. I have 4 ODBC connections that I can choose from (all of them from the same server), and instead of manually recreating a new ODBC connection everytime, I would like to point it to the new connection. The ODBC connections (Tables) have the same information, but throughout different times during the month.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Two ODBC Connections Within One Pass-through Query???

Oct 23, 2007

I have a query that I want use as a pass-through query (SQL Server databases).

The query has a sub-query that references another database. The query runs fine in Enterprise Manager because EM allows me to access both databases.

If I wanted to I could link both tables through ODBC and then run an Access query that would do the same, however, I would rather use a pass-through-query for this.

The problem is that a pass-through-query in MS Access only allows me ONE ODBC connection (as far as i can tell).

My question is:
Is there a way I can run a sub-query (referencing a different database. i.e. second ODBC connection) which references a second database?

Is this possible?


Thanks
-Gary

Restricting Number Of Open Connections

Jun 10, 2005

I want to restrict the number of times each person can open a database, but give them the option to force close the database on another PC, if they have left it with the database still open, prior to allowing them to have full access / functionality of the database on another PC.

In order to achieve this, I need advice on how to automatically record the computername as each person "logs in" to the database and secondly, send a command to close the database / Access on a PC with the stored computername.

Thanks in anticipation.

Multiple Connections To A Single Backend

Linked Tables And Multiple ODBC Connections

May 18, 2005

Hi!

I'll cut right down to it: I have an ODBC connection to a (SQL Server) test database on my development machine that is identical to the live database to which a (different) ODBC connection exists on the PC where this Access application is to be deployed. The problem is that when I deploy, there are some tables that have to be updates, because they still point to my test database. The other tables look like they use the default database for that user.

I used to be able to just copy the Access application and it would work without having to update any linked tables.

To clarify, the tables that work without a problem look like this in the Linked Table Manager:

t_mytable (DSN=odbc;)

And the problem tables have this:

t_mytable2 (DSN=odbc;DATABASE=my_test_db)

I don't seem to be able to clear that DATABASE= thing up. Can anybody tell me how this works?

If this question is overly trivial, I apologize.

Using Asp.net To Control Access Database And It Is Not Closing Connections

Feb 14, 2007

server administrators have expressed concern about my website that it is having a negative impact on the server.
He said this typically occurs when a website has a memory leak (where it obtains server resources and doesn't release them) or is opening database connections and not closing them until the point where no more are available.

I'm using asp.net to control Access and open the connections.
I don't know why it isn't closing them? the website is:

pedalcar.com

Any thoughts of what the problem is and what the statement I need to close the connections?

General :: Unable To Import To Excel From Front End And Back End Using Database Connections

Aug 5, 2012

I have split my database in Front End och Back End, and both are password protected. The Front End has been converted to ACCDE.

When I try to import to Excel from Front End and/or Back End using database connections I receive a message telling me that I am using an invalid password (even though I use the same password when I encrypt/decrypt FE and BE). I've tried using Access import, ODBC and Microsoft Query. (In some cases I 'm also prompted to set a username, which I do not know which it should be since I haven't set one in my database (except the automatic "admin"))

How do I go about to make this work?

Creating Forms On-the-fly

Feb 28, 2005

Hi,

My Access 2002 application has a lot of tables. Most of them are quite simple and I want a form for each one of them.
I wonder if it is possible to create the table's form on-the-fly using some VBA.
After creating such a form the user should be able to delete, edit and add records from the corresponding table.
I know this is possible in Delphi, but is it also possible in Access (2002) ?
If so, which commands should be used?

Thanks in advance!

Forms :: Creating Different Filters For Scrolling?

Apr 3, 2015

The last two weeks I taught myself Access (and hurt quite a few braincells in the process) Yet I am getting close to what I want to achieve, but now I am stuck how to proceed with the following:

I want to have 'forms' view as my main interface for my records. This is working very nicely, and I like how I can scroll fast through all records with my mouse-wheel. I also need to be able to filter records that will be displayed and scrolled through this way, and I created a filter which I can now toggle on or off easily for this purpose.

But now my challenge is, I want to be able to quickly select different filters, so for example, show only forms with a certain date field content. Or filter only forms which have a certain check-box checked. Etc. etc. And later on probably a bit more advanced, like: display forms that both contain 'this' and 'that'.

But I can't find a way to create several different and selectable filters? So this should probably be achieved in quite a different manner?

Forms :: Creating Hot-keys On A Form

Sep 5, 2013

I have a tab control on a form, and I want to use "Hotkeys' to get from one page to another (or more specifically, to toggle the visibility of the pages).

So, I set up the tab control with the pages I want hidden set with visible=No. Then I enable the Form.KeyPreview, so that the form will get a chance to look at all the key presses.

Lastly I have a Form.KeyDown handler, that looks like this:

Code:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
MsgBox "Key pressed (1): Shift value is " & Format(Shift)
' Detect Hot-keys for the pages in the MultiPage wizard, and make them Visible or not visible
' P/D/X/S/R/H/C
If Shift = acAltMask + acShiftMask Then

[Code] ....

This is early on in the design iteration - more will happen with the pages, but this is an easy way of reviewing various aspects of a project.

So what happens?

I put a breakpoint at the first If statement, and sure enough, it picks up the Ctrl key or the Alt key, whenever they are pressed. (I need to use the mouse to clear the msgbox, naturally!) When I press both of them (Ctrl/Alt) I get the required value of 6, but I never seem to get to the second msgbox. In addition, if I comment out the first message box, I also never seem to get to the second msgbox (ie the point where the combination has been detected.

KeyDown obviously has to fire for each component of a HotKey combination, and the Shift parameter has been shown to be cumulative. The only thing I can think of is that somehow I need to turn off keypress processing somewhere else (Used to be possible to use Cancel to do this, I seem to recall).

Forms :: Creating A Specific Relationship

Nov 18, 2014

I have started a new project where I have tables of people, organization, and roles, as well as one that is supposed to contain the relationships among them. In all four tables there is an AutoNumber ID field as the primary key. The fourth table, the relationship table, has as foreign keys, the primary keys from the first three.

I have created a form with a combo box for each of the three main tables. The intent is for the user to select a person, an organization, and a role, and then click on a button control that will create the relationship in the relationship table. What I am trying to do in the code is, using an AfterUpdate event procedure for each of the combo boxes, open the appropriate table as a recordset, find the selected record, and set a form-local variable to the value of the ID field for that record. So far, I can't get past the first combo box. Here is the code I have written, including both the form variable declarations and the AfterUpdate code:

Option Compare Database
Dim personID As Integer
Dim orgID As Integer
Dim roleID As Integer
Dim rsPerson As Recordset
Dim rsOrg As Recordset
Dim rsRole As Recordset
Dim rsRel As Recordset

[code]...

The error message I get is Compile error: Object required, with the personID reference in the last statement highlighted. (qryPerson is a query based on tblPeople that combines first and last names into LNFN.)

Forms :: Creating Mixes On A Form

Sep 16, 2013

I have a form that displays the quantity of plants that we are growing by genus, (marigolds, impatiens, petunias). each genus has many different varieties that can be used to make up the mix. I need to have some type of worksheet where we can put in the total qty and calculate the quantity of each variety by putting in percentages for each variety, much the same as you could do with a spreadsheet. The results of that worksheet then needs to be saved to a table for future use. Being fairly new to Access I'm not really sure what format to use. Is there a way to display the results of a query in datasheet view minipulate the numbers and update to my table?

Forms :: Creating Hyperlinks At Runtime

Apr 5, 2013

I am creating an app that allows the user to locate a 'job' and all the files associated to to it.

Once the user identifies the job, a form is populated with hyperlinks (labels) that point to each file in a single directory which contains all the assocaited files (pdf's and word docs).

The label are being created successfully, but I can't seem to get the label to accept the hyperlink feature.

Here is my code to date. Why are the labels not accepting the hyperlink data?

-----------------------------------------------------------

Const strForm = "Documents"
Dim frm As Form
Dim ctl As Control
DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:=strForm, View:=acDesign

Forms :: Creating Instance Of A Recipe?

Apr 15, 2014

I'm making a database that keeps track of particular lots of ingredients going into certain recipes.

The relevant tables are
tblSupplements (SupplementID, SupplementName)
tblSupplementLots (LotID, SupplementID, ArrivalDate)
tblRecipes (RecipeID, RecipeName)
tblRecipeItems(RecipeID, SupplementID, Quantity)
tblSupplementRecipeBatches (BatchID, RecipeID, MixingDate)
tblSupplementRecipeBatchItems(BatchID,LotID)

I have the top 4 tables filled out via forms and it all works swimmingly.
I'm having a hard time coming up with a scheme for filling out the bottom two.

I would like to have a form which will display the BatchID (automatically generated), allows the user to enter the MixingDate, gives a combobox bound to RecipeID which is filled from a pulldown menu based on RecipeID and RecipeName from tblRecipes.

All these I can do, but the next step is befuddling me: based on the RecipeID, I need to make a list consisting of the varying number of supplements which comprise the given recipe and allow the user to enter the LotID for each one (preferably from a pulldown menu).

I've tried a bunch of things (subforms linked on RecipeID, listboxes, VBA update queries attached to buttons). I just can't seem to understand how to have a variable number of subrecords appear and attach a new field (LotID) to each. Perhaps my table design is awkward?
