i have an order form somewhat like the northwind database one. I called mine A5_frmOrders. i have a subform called A6_sfrmOrders, which is in datasheet view. I need to add a "Delete Record" button into the subform, but when i put it in the subform footer, it doesnt appear.
Like any orders subform, i have "Item", "Product", "Quantity", "Unit Price" and "Subtotal" with their corresponding labels in the Detail Section. I tried changnig the subform to "Continuous Form" and doing this :
header : Labels for "Item", "Product", "Quantity", "Unit Price" and "Subtotal"
detail : "Item", "Product", "Quantity", "Unit Price" and "Subtotal" for user to fill in
footer : Delete Record button
but even when i change to Continuous Form, it doesnt allow me to separate "Item" from its label and put one in the header and one in the detail...
how do i add in the delete record button? Is it true i cannot use datasheet view if i want a delete button?
Thanks
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.
When we browse through records in a subform we store the records in the database.When we want to delete a records for example the third record from the five records always the first records will be deleted. How can we delete the records where the cursor is at? When we are at the third record and press the delete button the third record from the list in the subform should be deleted.
Code:
Option Compare Database Dim FocusBln As Boolean Private Sub Identificeer() Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Visible = True Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].SetFocus If Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Text = "" Then
I have a library database that I want to delete a record in my tblStatus when the book is returned. I have found the deleteobject function but it appears that that will delete like a table or query or report or something like that. I have no need to keep track of how many times a certain book has been checked out or that John Doe has checked out books X, Y and Z. As a mater of fact that is exactly what I don't want so I just want to delete the record that says Book ZZZ was checked out by John Doe. When the book is returned I just want it available for some one else.
Hello. I have form. and i need to delete record. Id is a unique key. When i have invisible textbox with source of this key, it's very easy to delete record from database. But is it possible to delete record with query without using textbox?
Hi all, facing a little problem with my forms. Access gives me headaches everyday. Haha.
In a continuous form, I have a delete button with the following code
Private Sub cmdDelete_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdDelete_Click
DoCmd.SetWarnings False If MsgBox("Confirm deletion of the record?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Delete?") = vbYes Then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord End If Exit_cmdDelete_Click: DoCmd.SetWarnings True Exit Sub Err_cmdDelete_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdDelete_Click End Sub
However, after the record is deleted, the focus is immediately set to the next field which creates a new record of null data. And since the fields are all required, I am forced to enter data into the new record, if not a pop up will inform to user to enter data.
I do not wish for this new record to be created everytime I delete a row. How do I go about it?
I have a problem with 1 of my form (FrmEditDrawing) that I use to edit a specific record from 1 of my table (TblDrawing). The user will see the Data for each drawing on a form that I called (FrmViewDrawing) and will be able to edit the data for each drawing by clicking a button that will open the form "FrmEditDrawing" on the specific record. In that case I can't edit and change the data for any fields but if I open the form on its own, I can edit and change the data ? I guess it has something to do with the fact that I open twice the same recordsets which locks the table, I am not sure. What would be the different option to solve this problem?
When you want to delete a record out of MS Access, you get the default pop-up message confirming you want to delete the record [YES] [NO].
I have a few users who are not paying attention and hitting a combination of keys (I am guessing Alt + D) and getting this message. They then do not look, and confirm the deletion of the record.
I am thinking of two ways around this.
1) Change the default to [NO] when this pop-up dialog opens up (the default is [YES]).
2) Disable this pop-up box, and then create my own to confirm the deletion.
Are either of these possible, or has anyone ever had to work around this issue? I have never had an issue with this, and was not sure how to attack it.
I have this code on the a Close Button and if the record is incomplete I want it to be deleted from the table. The ID field is an autonumber so it is the 1st field to get a value if a user starts entering data. I get a msg box saying 0 fileds will be deleted why? the id's do match but it does not delete??
Is it possible to delete a record from a table whilst viewing that table through a form. The awkward part though is because I have another table linked to it.
Basically the main table is Orders and the other table is Items (these items make up an order). So when I go to simply click on delete an error message appears saying that I cannot delete the record but there are records attached to it in another table. This is fair enough but is there a smooth way off deleting off the items?
i have a table1 in my msaccess and i linked another table in mysql to ms access, (table2). when table1 matches the record in table2, it will delete the record in table1.
my query is delete * FROM Table1 where table1.artid = table2.artid;
but it always ask me the value of tbl2.artid, the value of tbl2.artid is in the database of mysql and it has already records...
how can i compare the records of table1 (msaccess) and table2 (mysql) and delete the duplicate records? :D
Very new to Access and not a VB programmer. :confused:
With that in mind, I have created form for users to record address changes of members. I want to have a button that will "undo" what a user entered if they change their mind/decide an address change not necessary. My address change table has an auto-number field (ID) that is the index and I believe Access automatically creates a record regardless so how do we get rid of it?
I did a search and keep reading about a button wizard - Huh??? I don't know how to activate a button wizard (told you I was new). Also, I read about adding code but to where? and how? It also appeared the code examples might be using psuedo-names for tables or something ... how do I know a "real" name from a psuedo-name?
Can a "Delete" query be written? if so, what is the criteria to use?
I've looked at the properties of the button and all I can see is a place to add a macro or an expression. Am I in the wrong place for what I want to do?
Okay, I want to make a form with a combo box that you can choose a record and click a button to delete it.
As of now I have the records in the combo box but when i can choose a record... i can't delete. and when i cant choose a record.. i can delete. Can anyone help me???? :confused:
I have a subform its not in datasheet view and gives details of bookings for clients.
I am using the on click event of a field and I know that access knows which record I clicked. How do I delete it? which method do I use. can it be done without searching as I know which one i clicked?
I'm hoping someone can help a noob with a simple problem:) I did a search but couldn't find the answer.
When a user clears a record and leaves it Null I would like to prompt them whether they would like to delete the record before the access error message about invalid use of Null comes up. If they don't want to delete the record then the code should undo the change. The problem I have is I can't seem to run my code without the access error coming up. I can't see where I can trap the error (err.Number 3398).
For example, this doesn't work:
Private Sub txtSalesItem_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_txtSalesItem_BeforeUpdate
Dim response as Integer
If IsNull(Me.txtSalesItem) Then response = MsgBox("Do you want to delete this category?", vbExclamation + vbYesNo, "Delete Sales Item?")
If response = 6 Then Runcommand acCmdDelete
else RunCommand acCmdUndo endif
End If . . .
I know I can put in a validation rule, but I would like to go a bit further. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I've read the other posts in this forum about deleting records and I've tried this
Code:Dim intJobID As IntegerDim mysql1intJobID = IDIf msgbox("Do you really wish to delete this Record", vbCritical + vbOKCancel, "Delete Record") = vbOK Thenmysql1 = "delete * from Childrens_list WHERE ID = " & intJobIDDoCmd.RunSQL mysql1PAYP_code = Null 'To bypass an unload procedureDoCmd.CloseEnd IfEnd Sub
on a button event..
where am I going wrong.. Is there an easier form.currentrecord.delete event or something?
I delete record from a Table whit a sql transaction and the size of my mdb don't fall down, How I can do for purge or optimize the space in my MDB Thanks .
I have created a button which when clicked imports a table from Excel into Access. Every month the users want to click on this, they want to update the Access table with the updated info in the excel table. My problem is that the whole table is imported again and not just the new rows which have been added in excel. I was just wondering if there was a way to have a button which when clicked it clears all of the records out of my table in access, instead of manually deleting them. So that my users can just click this and then click the import button.
Well, my newbie status in db development has reared its head. I knew from the beginning I didn't want to have cascade delete when deleting a clinic (parent) from the db. Problem is some queries in other areas need some clinic info and if the clinic is deleted, it won't be available. Right now I'm thinking that an easy way out is only allowing a delete if it has no attached records. If the clinic is no longer used, they can just write in the memo field that this clinic is no longer used. It's not a large db and there won't be hundreds of clinics so it may not be too bad. Any other suggestions?
