i have a form, in which two of the controls on the form, are unbound image controls, which display linked images. Now i have a button, which when both images have been displayed successfully, i would like to set the enabled property of this button to true.
How can i detect, that an image has ended up linking and is now fully displayed ?
Thank You
Im nearly finished creating my first real production database, its pretty exciting! Theres a few things that I need to accomplish to consider it 100% working and im wondering if anyone has any input on the following matters:
1) Users import their data via an excel spreadsheet. Its all done behind the scenes. One routine pulls in information about servers from an excel spreadsheet and after formatting it via queries, puts it in the main table. The spreadsheet in question starts with the servername cell. On the spreadsheet, the first row contains the name of the server, but the second and subsequent rows contain blank space in the servername column, but imply that the rest of the information is for the various connections associated with that server listed above... IE:
Column "ServerName"
Row1: Server1 IP address Switch Etc
Row2: <blank> IP address Switch Etc
Row3: Server2 IP address Switch Etc
Row4: <blank> IP address Switch Etc
Row5: <blank> IP address Switch Etc
Row6: Server3 IP address Switch Etc
and so on and so on...
What im wondering, is if its possible to fill in the blank spots with the cell above the records that start blank? (to populate the record with its respective server). Any input on methods to accomplish this would be appreciated.
2) Is there a way to attach code to the different buttons on the record selector? For tracking purposes, everything that my users do is stored in a seperate table. The only thing I cant seem to track is when users enter a record via the main data entry form. Automated tasks are no problem, but I cant seem to find a method to attach code to, say, the next record button on the default record selector.
3) I have a few queries that collectively import data from excel. When I do this, I remove confirmation messages so that users dont have to click through a sea of 'OK's. Im wondering if theres a way to count how many records get pulled in from an import, seperate which were good and which were bad, and simply pop up a message box stating that X records were imported succesfully, and X were not due to whatever reason.
4) Is there a way to sort text as if it were a number? I have a few fields that need to be text format, but contain numbers most of the time. The sorts always put 1 above 10, 9, 8, 7, etc, and id like to either find a way to make a query that changes all single digit numbers to double digit numbers or simply sort it in a numerical format.
5) What considerations should I take into account when it comes to the amount of data that access 2003 databases can effectively store and use? Ive heard that access can effectively handle 32000 records or something to that effect. Over that, what will I be dealing with? Slow performance? A complete roadblock?
I realize that there are a lot of questions here, and by no means wish to have my work done for me. Id very greatly appreciate any feedback that anyone wishes to give 8) Even if you dont want to code routines for me, thats fine.. I actually enjoy figuring this stuff out on my own, and a simple nudge in the right direction would suffice.
Thank you so very much!
I'm new to Access (2002) and have been trying to learn by reading books, posts, forums and practicing with models. I've set up a database for inventory, primarily to track the cost of goods sold as raw material costs change from month to month. So far I have tables for raw materials, container sizes, suppliers, and finished products. But I have a problem - in some cases a finished product is also a raw material, so cannot appear in both tables. (Let's say we make cookies and we make ice cream, and we also make ice cream with cookies on top as a third/separate finished product!) Should cookies have two records ('CookieFinished' and 'CookieRM') and can they be linked together so cost is determined before it's part of another? Is there a better way? Thanks in advance!

I have completed a db and am satisfied with the structure and forms. The object window is hidden when the database is opened, and the main entry form automatically opens for the user. This db will be in a network folder and several users will have access to it. I want people to be able to enter data and run reports, but not make any changes to the database itself, or accidentally delete the database file or some other change to the structure. What is the proper way to set up the folder rights and anything else associated with the previous question?
Thanks.
Hi
I have created a small form that hold a cube of 9 boxes on it. The idea is that it will act as a small icon that indicates the system is loading. (Purely cosmetic)
I have triggered the boxes to change colour on a loop when the form loads but the problem is that the loop function is being carried out before the form actually loads. How do I get the form to display first and then carry out the loops to change the colour of the shapes?
Thanks all...
I have a Subroutine that is using CutePDF writer to create a PDF from a report, then attach it to a new message in outlook. The problem is the code runs too fast and it's looking for the file to attach before the file is created.
I'm getting
Run-time error '-2147024894 (80070002)':
Cannot find this file. Verify the path and file name are correct.
Yes, I know why I am getting the error, and yes I could use a loop timer, except it may be 5 seconds before the person finally clicks OK in CutePDF dialogue box, it may be 5 minutes or it may be 5 hours.
If I had a textbox [txtTotalDay] which its days/Time was in decimals and a start textbox [txtStartDate] and a start time and number of shifts the product can run how can I accomplish this?
Example:
[txtTotalDay] = 3.50
[txtStartDate] = 8/19/13
[txtStartTime] = 6am
[txtNumOfShiftDay] = 2
ANSWER : The time/date it would finish would be 8/21/13 @ 4:00pm
Hi,
I need help urgently. I am currently receiving files in .txt format through ftp which then reside in the same network folder as my Access Db. All the tables have been designed to read the data in. I'll be receiving these files on a daily basis. My idea is to automate this process. So, I would like to delete the existing data from the tables and then load the new set at a particular time everyday. Again, data comes in a .txt format through ftp. Please let me if this could be done and how. Thank you.

Hi, im using a .mdb Database in Access 2003 and i got it stored on my network server.
Now i have this problem:
If i start the Database on one specific computer, the main menu (the first page that pops up at loading) is not showing correctly
Other Forms are accessible through the manager-list
Meaning, that background and picture in background are showing correctly, but none of my buttons are there.
All i get is one single small click-button and a "1" next to it....
Button not having effect at all..
So my questions :
a) why is this problem only showing on ONE and only one computer? On other computers the database is just doing fine.
b) what IS the nature of the problem
c) how to fix it?
Many thanx for a quick reply..

I encountered some weird symptons with my Access forms. I am using the form to display images(done by setting the OnCurrent and After Update property).
When my PC is just powered on, and i try to load say form "ENGLISH". Form "ENGLISH" will appear, but the focus will switch in between form ENGLISH and the MS ACCESS program window. This action will onli settle down after abt 10 secs.
When the ENGLISH form is loaded, i will attempt to switch from one record to another, but the same thing occurs again. IT will load/refresh for abt 10seconds, with the focus toggling btwn ENGLISH FORM n MS Access.. IN addition, it opens a second copy of FORM "ENGLISH" in the background as can be seen on my taskbar. When i close my 1st form ENGLISH and i attempt to close the 2nd FORM tat is appearing on the taskbar, there will be an error msg, English : MSACCESS.EXE-Application Error, Instruction at....(refer to the attached jpeg file for detailed error location)
Y is it tat this weird behaviour onli applies to the forms tat are used to display images but not those normal forms tat contains of purely text?
The entire behaviour will be eliminated after i close MS access, and reload the DB abt twice.....

Hi
I am trying to get a blank ribbon to be in place when a user opens my application. I have an Adp linked to SQL Server. If I create a table in SQL Server named ribbons and have the app read the data in that table in the AutoExec macro (this runs the code that reads the data) then assign the new ribbon to Application.LoadCustomUI RS("RibbonName").Value, RS("RibbonXml").Value it works and the blank ribbon is displayed. The problem is that this is no use because if the adp is not connected to the database on startup it causes an error as no connection has been established.
Instead I have put exactly the same xml file into a module but this does not have the same affect even though I call the same Application.LoadCustomUI method. I havent really done anything different except change how the xml is found. The problem with this method is it just pops the new ribbon into the list of available ribbons so then the user would have to choose the ribbon, shut down and restart, that is no use.
Has anybody got any idea what can be done about this? I will post the code below.
Thank you for any advice on what can be done.
Paul
First method (which works but is no good for distributing the app)
Autoexec calls the following
Public Function LoadRibbons()
Dim RS As Recordset
Set RS = CurrentProject.Connection.Execute("SELECT Ribbons.RibbonName, Ribbons.RibbonXML FROM RIBBONS")
If Not RS.BOF Then
Application.LoadCustomUI RS("RibbonName").Value, RS("RibbonXml").Value
End If
RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
End Function
but using the following and calling it in autoexec just puts the ribbon in the list and doesnt use it
Function CreateRibbon()
Dim xml As String
xml = _
"<customUI xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <ribbon startFromScratch=""true"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <officeMenu>" & vbCrLf & _

Hi,
what is the best way to load or unload subforms? currently, i have the subforms within my form and code will change it visible and invisible but it would be better i think if they could be loaded or unloaded as i iahve existing code in the forms that all needs to be written.
( i originally had the subforms as separate forms that opened as a single form ).
can you load / unload subforms on a form as normal forms?

Hi.
I am running a form on top of a query with around 1500 records in it. The query mostly uses tables that are joined with referential integrity.
The form has buttons and conditional formatting.
It was fine until today, when suddenly the form has stopped loading properly. It looks all fragmented on the screen and I have to scroll down and scroll back up again for it to look right.
I have searched everywhere to find out what is causing this and how it can be fixed, but no luck yet. Can you help?
Thanks.
hi... I have a form containing 120 subforms...
the form will be loaded depending on the user...
i name my subforms in sequence that is: loadA1, loadA2, loadA3,....
to load a form I just use the code: me.loadA3.sourceobject = "FormName"
and then I make a counter to keep track of which forms are loaded and which one to load next.. as they load in sequence..
the question is if its possible to write the above code in a string type or other way to make the code shorter...
For example my code is as follows: If ACount = 0 Then
Me.LoadA1.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 1 Then
Me.LoadA2.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 2 Then
Me.LoadA3.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 3 Then
Me.LoadA4.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 4 Then
Me.LoadA5.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 5 Then
Me.LoadA6.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 6 Then
Me.LoadA7.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 7 Then
Me.LoadA8.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 8 Then
Me.LoadA9.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 9 Then
Me.LoadA10.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 10 Then
Me.LoadA11.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 11 Then
Me.LoadA12.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 12 Then
Me.LoadA13.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 13 Then
Me.LoadA14.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 14 Then
Me.LoadA15.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 15 Then
Me.LoadA16.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 16 Then
Me.LoadA17.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 17 Then
Me.LoadA18.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 18 Then
Me.LoadA19.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
ElseIf ACount = 19 Then
Me.LoadA20.SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
End If
If ACount < 19 Then
ACount = ACount + 1
ElseIf ACount < 0 Then
ACount = 0
Else
ACount = 20
End If
anyway to make it something like:
"me.loadA" & Acount & ".SourceObject = "TEMPCableName"
??
Thanks in advance

I have a player information form where a player picture is stored. When I first wrote the program I was able to upload a picture no problem from my computer, I had a crash and now when I try to load a picture it takes three times as long and all that shows in the picture window is the picture name. Did I lose a setting or a program during the crash? Hope this makes enough sense.

Hi All.
I have look through the forum but can not find a solution to my problem.
I have a popup form set to "popup" and "modal" "frmJobBookOut" which passes data to a query "qryJobBookOut". In the query there is a field called "job_no" and I have set the criteria to reference the "frmJobBookOut" ** [forms]![frmJobBookout]![job_no] ** and a report "rptInvoice" based on the query "qryJobBookOuit". This all works fine.
The report loads with the popup "frmJobBookout" form still displayed. I know that the popup form is still displayed because I have the setting "modal" and until I click on the close button it will remain on screen.
Is there a way I can close the popup "frmJobBookOut" form after the report has loaded.
I have tried many ways but not the right way.
Many thanks if you can help.
Kind regards
I'm just getting familiar with Access and have been unable to solve the following problem and am hoping someone here could help. I have a lot (10,000s) of csv formatted files that I would like to import into a database. Each csv file corresponds to a new record in a table but the fields are arranged row-wise.
My problem is two fold. One, the fields are arranged in rows and not columns so when I try to use the "Get External Data -> Import" option to import a single file the columns and not the rows are read as fields. Two, even if they could be imported properly I have thousands of files I need to import so I would also need to automate the process, perhaps with a VB program.
Below is a sample of the csv file format: (the real files have over forty fields, and note the units column may sometimes be blank)
Field,Value,Units
name,Meta Particle,
speed,3.18,m/s^2
mass,0.001,kg
height,123,ft
width,81,meters
Is there an option in Access to import many identically formatted csv files and transpose them in the process? I would appreciate any ideas on how to load them into a table.
Thanks

Hi All,
I am new to Access and looking for some help.
I have a query, which reads the combo box value and loads the result in Text box. It works fine when I load the Form.
Now here is the problem… If I select another values from combo box the query result remains the same (in text box). How do I make it work dynamically?
So when I select new value in combo box, the resulting query gets updated in textbox.
Thanks
