To make a long story short I have a command button that runs a query and opens a subform based on that query. I want to be able to update the records that are returned (via the subform) but I am getting an error - "This Recordset is not updateable". I've tried changing the recordset property to Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates) but that didn't seem to change anything.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
i've got a Form that contains Subform with an embedded Query that contains 2 tables only (Payments & Invoices) the Join properties between them show all records from payments and what matches it from Invoices where the joined fields are equal (Invoice no).. So, when i enter certain data in the main form the Subform show the results for it from Payments table and only one field needed from the Invoices table !!
The problem is.. i can't edit or add any data in the Subform results with the previous setting, but when i completely remove the Invoices table from the embedded Query then swift to the Form and it's Subform.. i become able to edit and add data in the Subform easily... !!
So, how to enable the edit/add in the Subform with the 2 tables in the embedded Query ?! Cause it's really needed to show that field from the Invoices table.
Hi all, I have a search form that pulls data from a query. The data is displayed in a subform. I would like the user to be able to edit the data from the subform. I have set all the allow properties to yes and it still doesn't work. Does this problem have anything to do with relationships.
Thanks to all, this forum has been a great help for me.

i want to create an edit button as seen in the picture below in my subform, the record source for the form in the picture is,
SELECT tblLoans.*, IIf([Status]<>"Closed","Edit","") AS Edit, * FROM tblLoans ORDER BY tblLoans.Title;
and the record source in the sub form where i want the edit button is
SELECT DISTINCT [BookID], [Genre],[Title],[Author],[Available_in_library] from qrySearch WHERE 1=1
and i was wondering how to put the button in the sub form
Main form is frmPeople
As you can see i have a subform called frmPeopleInsurancesSub
Next to that I have a Edit Command button which open a forms called
PeopleInsurances
When user wants to edit one of the insurances all user has to do is click on on one of the insurance and click edit to take user to that record
But cant make it work
Any Ideas
I have inherited a partially completed membership Access database which I
understand was originally generated from a load of linked FoxPro tables.
There is a form which uses multiple tabs, the first tab contains general
membership data (ie name, age etc) and this pulls data through from the
'Main' table in the database. Each of the other tabs includes a subform which
shows data held in a number of different tables linked to the 'Main' table
(eg, first tab - general data from 'Main table', 2nd tab - home addreses
from 'Home Address' table, 3rd tab - business addresses from 'Business
Address' table). All tables are linked to the 'Main' table through a common
'RegisterID' field. When I open the form I can query on any of the records
and amend and items of data on the various tabs them without any problem.
However if I add a new record using the >* option from the record navigation
I can add data to the first tab (ie. into the 'Main' table) but if I move to
the 2nd or 3rd tab I am unable to edit/add data to the fields on those tabs.
But if I save the record after completing the fields on the first tab and
then close the form and reopen it I can then edit the 2nd and 3rd tabs, can
you suggest how I can change the setup to allow editing/adding data to the
2nd and 3rd tabs without having to close the form and reopen it please. I
have checked the subforms and they are set to AllowEdit and there are NoLocks.
I've created a form that contains two subforms. Subform1 is a datasheet, subform2 is a regular form containing a subform (subform3) of it's own which is a datasheet.
Subform2 is linked to display detail information based on subform1...which works fine. Subform3 is linked to subform2 displaying additional details. When I open the master form everything displays ok and subform3 displays the correct information, but when I click on one of the records to edit it the form refreshes about 5 times and then record 1 in subform3 gets selected. In other words, I am unable to select any other record except record 1 in subform3 and thus unable to edit the records.
I have subform3 set to allow edits, additons, deletions and when I open subform3 by iteself I am able to edit/add/delete just fine.
This would all work fine if I did not need to edit subform3...all the links work perfectly and display's correct information. I am stumped. I hope I am missing something obvious.
Thanks.
May be this is easy for your guys. I want to freeze or lock the mainform data fields while allowing users to input, edit, delete data on a subform. I tried to change mainform properties so it can not edit, add or delete data on mainform. By doing so, I cannot do anything with subform, it seem read only as well.
Thank you for help

I have created a form (races) with a subform (yachts in a race) to edit data in joined tables. It seems to be working well but I am having difficulty selecting which record to edit in the main form. I can scroll through the records until i get to the correct race but this won't work well when there are a large number of races to choose from.
I can see that I can use linked forms to select a race from a multi form or datasheet and call up my desired form by a double click on the ID field. This should work but isn't really elegant with users scrolling down a long datasheet to select the race record they want to work with. Is there a better way?
Races are uniquely identified by 3 attributes: SeriesDivision, Date & RaceNumber.I have created an index in the Race table for these 3 fields which forces them to be unique.I would love to create an interactive routine which asks users to select from a list for each of these 3 attributes and then returns the form for editing with the appropriate race record selected or even cascading - users select a SeriesDivision can then choose the valid dates for the selected SeriesDivision and can then select the valid raceNumbers for the selected date
I have a form "Handover" on this form I have a button that enables edit functionality once clicked, I now have a subform on this form named "Bdown".
The Bdown subform allows edits without having to click the "btn_Edit" on the main form "Handover".
Is is possible to make the edit button on "Handover" control the edit function on "Bdown" also?
Currently "Handover" contains:
Code:
Private Sub btn_Edit_Click()
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.btn_Edit.Caption = "Editing"
End Sub
[Code] .....
I have a query which looks for like * surname*
in tblemployee fname lname dept active
this works fine and i can search using a requery button
however as deptartments are stored in tbldepts
when i change the query to retrieve the dept name instead of number directly from the table and i try to change this on the datasheet subform it changes it in tbldepts instead?
how can i change what dept the employee is in (as in change the number in tblemployee - but display the actual name?)
hi, im amaturish at access, but im wondering what would be the easiest way to create a edit page, via any means. eg. in a form?
cheers
I've created an ADP project containingnumerous tables. One (and only one!) table in the set will not open in edit mode while in Access. Here are the particulars:
1) The table was created from scratch in SQL Enterprise Manager,
2) The table is editable in SQL Enterprise Manager,
3) The table permissions appear to be set correctly (and are the same as all the other tables which all allow editting in Access)
4) I open the Access project and double-click the table. The "add record" navigation button is disabled, and any attempt to edit a field elicits a "This recordset is not updatalbe" error.
5) However, I can open the table in Design mode in Access, make changes, and save them.
Any ideas? This is very frustrating!

I've created a form (callled Contact) that contains a subform (called Sales). The Sales subform is a datasheet that displays sales for each contact and changes when the record in the Contact form changes. All works fine.
My problem is that I want to display some big text fields from the Sales subform in the Contact form so that I can view them more easily. So I've cut and pasted the fields from the Sales form onto the Conact form and tried to change their Control Source. But nothing I do works.
What should happen is that when a record in the Sales subform changes, the fields that have been cut & pasted onto the Contact form should also change. They do change, but I can't edit the text in them. What have I done wrong?
Hi guys,
I've got a table (called table1), which a select query (called qryTable1) read it and is referenced in a form (called frmTable1).
So now my form display fields of the query of the table.
On the form, below the text boxs for data entry, there is a subform that displays the entire table - table1.
I've done this so I can see some fields of the old data, that helps me to enter new ones. Hope u follow so far...

This where I'm stuck. When I was half way entering data in the top section of the form (ie using text boxes), if I go to the subform below to copy some values from a field, ACCESS then either adds a new or edit the record. I'm wondering if there is a way to stop ACCESS automatically doing this? I want to be able to add a record when THE add record button is depressed, and that's the only way to add record.
Please do help..
I have a table structure that I guess could be called a dual one-to-many-to-one, as can be seen in the attached Relationships screen print. Customer loan files are maintained in an AllFiles table, tied to the Customers and Loans tables through the CustomerFiles and LoanFiles tables. Users access the data from an unbound form called FileProcessing, where they can select a customer, and a loan for that customer. The files linked to that customer and loan then appear on a form called Files. However, I need the data on Files to be updateable, and I'm having a hard time coming up with a Files datasource that can be updated. The SQL that retrieves the needed data is:
Code:
SELECT AllFiles.*
FROM (AllFiles INNER JOIN CustomerFiles ON AllFiles.FileNum = CustomerFiles.FileNum)
INNER JOIN LoanFiles ON AllFiles.FileNum = LoanFiles.FileNum
WHERE LoanFiles.LoanNum=[Forms]![FileProcessing]![tbLoanNum]
AND CustomerFiles.CIFKey=[Forms]![FileProcessing]![tbLoanCIFKey];
I tried creating another query that just had the AllFiles table linked to the above query, but the data still couldn't be updated.
I have a simple data base with 2 tables. One table is the pertinent Employee data. That includes a EmployeeID that I contrived myself with the first 4 letters of the FIRST NAME and the first 3 letters of the LAST NAME.
how to make the program do that automatically when I enter the employee's first and last name.I have a form that sits overtop this table to populate the data. It's got some test date in it now c/w hand and manually calculated EmployeeID.
So now I figured out how to make the program do that calculation automatically. So why when I cruse over the records and tab through the fields and the form shows the new EmployeeID, it doesn't update the table for that field?
Hi all
I am putting together a quick and dirty db to hold just a few thousand bits of data for some tests I’m about to start.
For various reasons it is better to hold some of these in Excel, and to link Access to Excel.
The problem I have is that when I use Access to edit a “record” in Excel, it will work for the first one or two records, but then Access crashes and I get the very familiar “Sorry for the inconvenience, please send this error file to uSoft blah blah blah” (which I always do, but wonder if anyone ever takes any notice of them!).
The problem occurs whether the spreadsheet is open in the background, or is just sitting closed in its directory with Excel not running.
At the moment, I only have a tiny amount of data as I’m still putting it together, so it’s not a “size” issue; I first noticed the problem with only about ten records!
I expect I’ll move everything to Access (not ideal but hopefully it wont crash quite so often), but I’m curious to know if any of you have actually made a successful link between Access and Excel (and used it for editing data, not just looking, which is fine).
My system: Office 2003 pro/developer, Win XP pro.
Thanks for any thoughts

Still not sure how to do this, after I convert my database and create an mde file few changes might accrue in the future, I have tried to make some changes for testing purpose and then create a new mde file and saved it with replacing the older one but I had lost my new data which was entered in the old mde file?
Q: how can I make the new change on my original file and not lose my new data in my mde file.
I have a subform where records can be added or edited. There are two fields: firstname and lastname. I want a message box to appear when a first or last name is edited.
I do not want that message box to appear when a new name is being added. I use this code:
[CODE]....
Now I want to also prevent the user from leaving a record before both fields have data (first and last name are required). My efforts to do this seem to conflict with my message box issues.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong or how to do this?
Hi
I have a form, which displays data from a query recordsource.
One of the textboxes is a "Comments" textbox, which I would like the user to write in directly, which in turn is a direct link to the data in the table so it is updated immediately.
At the moment, the textbox does not seem to be editable. Is there a standard way to do something like this ?
I have a commitment table in my database, and normally people will input commitments through a form.
However each month I will have a flat file upload from excel directly into the Commitment Table, these will be up to 1500 lines. (they are downloads from other systems, that we want to have in our database and i can't link directly to these systems).
I created a macro to do this, and attached it to a button and tested it and it works fine.
My issue is this, once I've uploaded it once, next month what I would like to happen is when I upload it again that it changes the original commitment should any of the details be different or it inserts a new commitment if it didn't already exist. (After I have uploaded the original data, I can download it to get the commitment ID to attach to the excel files if necessary.)
I have a Union query that is linked into about 10 different excel spreadsheets on our drive and it pulls back only 3 columns of data (Document Number, Date Registered and Date Implemented). I then have another report which refers to the results of this query and does its own thing from thereon.
Here is a sample of the SQL:
SELECT CINT(RIGHT(RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM RT_01000;
UNION SELECT CINT(RIGHT(CC_RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], CC_RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], CC_RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM CC_RT_01000;
My Issue:
As it is above, the query will run, but we end up with duplicate numbers in the "Document Number". It only brings back the final 5 digits from each of these files and ignores the differenciating part of the number, the "CC_RT_" or the "RT_". This causes huge issues in the file which then goes onto use these results afterwards.
My Plan: (failed)
I thought I could simply update the "5" to an "11" to catch anything named "RT_00001" and also "CC_RT_00001" serperately so I can clearly see which is which without any duplicates. However, I recieve the below error when doing so:
"Data type mismatch in criteria expression".
I've been playing with this for hours and unfortunately many many reports reply on these results being correct. It is also not possible to change the names of the RT and CC_RT files that it links into.
Hello,
I have a form that utilizes a combo box called cboProgAddr (for Program Address). The cbox has 5 columns each of which fills in an adjacent text box. Since I needed the option of making corrections to these text boxes once they were filled in I need to set them up as unbound via the following code in the After Update event of cboProgAddr:
Private Sub cboProgAddr_AfterUpdate()
Me!txtProgStreet.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(1)
Me!txtLocStreet.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(1)
Me!txtProgCitySt.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(2)
Me!txtLocCitySt.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(2)
Me!txtProgZip.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(3)
Me!txtLocZip.Value = Me!cboProgAddr.Column(3)
End Sub
As you can see it puts each field of data into two separate text boxes. Here's the issue: If I have to go back to the form after the original data entry the following boxes are blank...
txtProgStreet
txtProgCitySt
txtProgZip
while the following retain the orginal data...
txtLocStreet
txtLocCitySt
txtLocProgZip
The original cboProgAddr maintains its original data. All six fields above are stored in the same table as text field. I'd like all the boxes to maintain the data from the original input.
I'm totally baffled why this is so. I've attached images of the combo box control functions if that helps.
Thanks,
David
I have a form which saves to a database correctly. It has a key field name called "code".
I can recall the data into a copy of the first form to edit by using the key field "code".
All works well, however, when I click save data from the edit form it does not alter the original data but creates another form but with the same key field called code.
