View RepliesHello
I am planning a key database
I have planed to use access and visual basic.
VB to add and delete keys.
Access to do the rest.
Is this a good solution? Do you have a better one, pleas let me know.
I need help setting up the delete and add buttons, I am bad i vb.
And I need help with the Delivered button, when I push the button I want it to delete all the information on the page. But print a backup or save it as a file, do you have a good idea.
When I press the “add key button”, I want I to add a key.
If you have 3 keys, and press ADD key, then it adds a 4 key and it must be a scroll window. Then I can choose the key I gave him
There is a image of the plan I am having.
I have tried to rename or delete in MS Explorer, but this just creates confusion. The databases still show up in bits and pieses on various screens. I've purchased 2 additional how to do it books on MS Access 2007 and find nothing on deleting or renaming an entire database and all objects or references to it. Does anyone know the magic bullet?:confused:

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have recently gotten a handle on ASP and found it to be a very powerful tool.
I am wondering if there is a way to design a page where I can list my database tables, and by using a command, I can use asp to do the following.
1. Add or delete table
2. Add, delete, or update fields within the tables
for instance: rename a field 'PersonName' to 'MyName' without change the original values in the field 'PersonName'
I have searched all over the net and could not find information on this subject.
Thanks in advance.
I just upgraded to Access 2010. I can't delete or paste database objects in the table, form, query lists, etc.. Is there a setting that allows this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a database with a main database that has 2 related tables...my problem is that i only keep data that i really need, in the main table. My problem is that i sometimes need to go back to old data that i erased. so i have to keep old data too. but i can;t on the same database. so i need to move the old records from the main table and all the related data to another database that will keep all the erased data, so if i need to find something i will search on the "deleted records" database.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a database that is used by managers to log activity of staff. We wanted to allow staff to write to the DB, but not allow them full access. We decided to accomplish this by adding a VBA function to an Excel sheet that they already use every day. It allows them to select a description, start time and end time and writes records to a database containing just 1 table.
The database used by the managers periodically runs an append query, and then a delete query to update with details of entries made by staff, and then clear the table to avoid duplicates during the next append.
I'm sure those of you with experience can already guess what's been happening and are shaking your head right now. It seems like entries made while the append query is running are being deleted when the delete query runs. So potentially I append 4 records, but delete 6 as 2 new entries were made before the delete query ran.
Is there a way to delete only the records that have just been appended? Or is there a more acceptable way of achieving this without using a delete query?
I wrote the following statements to update a SQL server database:
Dim MyDb As Database
Dim MyRs As Recordset
Set MyDb = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("AMD", dbDriverPrompt, False, "ODBC;DATABASE=AMD;DSN=Remote")
Set MyRs = MyDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT AllAttendanceEvents.* FROM AllAttendanceEvents ORDER BY AllAttendanceEvents.EntryTime DESC")
MyRs.MoveFirst
While Not MyRs.EOF
MyVal = MyRs!EntryTime
Debug.Print MyVal
MyRs.Edit
MyRs!Ix = 50099
MyRs.Update
MyRs.MoveNext
Wend
When it execute the red line statement, it generates the error:Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
This error is generated isnpite that I already checked the boxes: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE in the Permissions page of the tables?
Please advise.
All I am trying to do is insert to have a form with a "Delete Record" button on it. The problem is I don't want anyone to be able to delete a record, I would like someone to have to insert a password to confirm the delete.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a query based on two tables, joined on one field (this field is the primary key in Table A. Table B doesn't have a primary key). When working inside this query, it gives me the option to delete records. However, when I try, the row disappears from the query but then if I save and close and either re-open table A or the resulting query, that record is back. It doesn't actually delete. If I go to table A directly and delete it, it's gone for good.
How can I make it so that when I delete the record inside the query it actually deletes? And if that's not an option, can I make it so that it doesn't seem like I can delete records inside the query so that people don't make the mistake?
I have two simple tables. I want to delete the records from Table1 that are on Table2. I've created a select query that gives me what I want but when I change to a delete query, I get this message: "Unable to delete from specified tables"
I think my problem has something to do with security but I can't figure out what to change.

I have an issue where I need all but 2 users out of my DB on Wednesday morning for billing reasons.
I thought of writting a batch file that would delete the frontend DB from all computers from 8:00 - 10:00 every wed morning. However if a user comes in before 8:00 and have the DB open then it will not delete the front end from their desktop.
Can anyone think of a way to keep users out of a system from 8-10am every Wed?
Thanks All.

have searched forum for this but not getting what i want (or maybe i just don't understand very well) but here's my question anyway:
the table is related to several other tables and the cascade delete property is on.
on a master form (with subfrm for related tbls) i want cmdbutton to do this:
when the user DELETE a record, the deleted record (and! it's subdata) must be removed from the current table(s) but copied(?) to another table(s) which won't be accessed by the user, so that i can keep track of deleted records.
do i have to setup DUPLICATE tables (and relate them again) to capture deleted records ? and then have a qry that will cut(?) paste records that gets deleted?
i think i need only one qry that will do all this, but not sure how ?
any help much appreciated.
regards,
Piet.
I have a table with several fields and I am trying to delete one of the fields. It tells me the field in related to one or more tables and to use Database Relationships to delelet the relation. I have taken every table out of the Relation Database, Deleted every query, form that ever related to the table and still can't delete the field from the table. I have done Database repair, delete the entire table and rebuilt it and I still have the problem. Any help out there? Thanks.

I have a field that if another field matches the criteria then a user must fill in that field. If that makes sense!!
I have some code that if a user exits without entering any information on it asks them if they want to and if not undoes what the user has entered in the form. This works fine however a user can enter something into the field exit the field then go back in and delete it. When the user then goes to exit it doesnt flag up as it thinks it has been updated. Can anyone help with this.
My Code so Far:
If Me.No2Release = "Cayman Certificate of Release to Service" And Me.Eng2_Approval = "" Then
If MsgBox("You haven't entered an approval number. Do you want to?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Me.AC_Ser_No.SetFocus
Me.Eng2_Approval.SetFocus
Else 'user clicked no
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, acUndo, , acMenuVer70
Me.Base.SetFocus
End If
End If
Thanks

I am using Access 95. Lately when I make a new Form it works for a few tries then I get this error message "The Form Name you entered in either the property sheet or a macro is missed spelled or refers to a Form that does not exits. " Well I know the form exits because I just made it and I can see it. Then when I try to delete it to start over it says it’s deleting the form but still remains in the database. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form in Access 97 which contains embedded charts.
When I try to open the from I get this message..
"282 error when you loaded the form or report. You loaded a form or report that has controls or properties that Microsoft Access does not recognise and will ignore."
If I try to open the form in design view from the main database window I get the following...
"The microsoft jet databse engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." -this happens when I am the only user in the database.
and then
"A problem occurred while microsoft access was communicating with the OLE server."
When I try to delete the form Microsoft Access closes down.
i have created, from scratch, the form again which workd fine but I can't get rid of the old one.
