Subform Controls Not Allowed?!?!?!?!
Jan 24, 2005Hello,
my problem looks so stupid, but I'm not able to solve it..
I've a form with two subforms in it and one of them is behaving in a strange way.
I open the form and type something in a text box in the form. Now I can type something else in a text box in the first subform but I'm not able to write anything in a textbox in subform n°2. It's textboxes (and also other controls like combo,...) look like they are not enabled (but they are enabled!!).
This subform has also got a Button, and it works (It deletes current record).
If I close the form and reopen it and I go straight to subform n°2, now I'm able to insert text in it's controls, but I'm not able to edit the controls in the main form and in subform n°1.
I hope my problem is clear
Please help!!
No More Than 4 Employees Allowed On Form
Oct 25, 2012On my form I need to limit the number of employees that can be entered using OnCall as the criteria or use ExpName or Employee ID
If this criteria is NOT met then disable On Call. In other words if they try and enter a 5th employee then the field On Call/checkbox is disabled
name of field is OnCall and actual control is named On Call
I need this to fire on the OnCurrent Event for the form which is named frm_Employees_on_Call_What_Order
In other words, no more than 4 employees are allowed to be on call at the same time. The fields for the query the form is based on are:
All are form the Employees table
Employee ID Employee autonumber primary key
ExpName name of employee, includes first and last name
On Call Yes/No checkbox used for if a employee is on call or not
query used is named qry_On_Call

Null Not Allowed, User Friendly Msgbox
Jul 27, 2005I have a table field where Null is not allowed, how do I use a user freindly message to tell the user to add data to this field. When a user tries to leave the field Null (ie by tabbing out), they get a message, "tried to assign NUl value to vaiarble which is not variant datatype.
What I want to appear is more like "Please enter a name" or some other custom message.
Any ideas - I have tried before anfd aftyer update events and vaidation rule on the form field of Not Null, but the underlying message always appears first.

General :: Adding New Record Periodically Not Allowed
May 12, 2014The database's core is 3 tables: a table for service trips that students can go on, students who may go on those trips, and a junction table linking the two in a many-to-many relationship. Data entry is done literally from the trip table with a +/- node allowing addition of students to the trip detail table.
About 6 months ago, the user's computer was replaced and their office suite was upgraded from 2003 to 2010. Since then, periodically they have called me to say that they are not being allowed to add students to trips. Checking and discovering that I, accessing the same database from another machine, am able to add students to trips;Compacting and Repairing the databse, which did NOT resolve the issue;Opening a brand new database and importing all the objects into it, which DID resolve the issue, temporarily.I just received an email today stating that it has just happened for the 4th time. I can repeat my above-mentioned fix which will probably resolve the issue - again - temporarily.
Modules & VBA :: Operation Is Not Allowed When The Object Is Closed

Forms :: Editing Record Details Not Allowed
Sep 28, 2014I have had a form working for ages. It has a main form and eight subforms at the bottom of the form. The main form can be edited in all fields.
I have taken a copy, modified the form added new fields to the main source table and updated the query that feeds the form.
Now (in the copy environment) it won't allow me to edit any of the fields. All of the form control properties are the same as the working model (in the live environment) I can run the query by itself and all is OK
There is obviously some little control that I have inadvertently changed and can't see it.
List Box Control With Multiple Values Allowed
Jun 8, 2014I have a Table with a short text field, field size: 20. The row source has been set up ie "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", etc. Allow multiple values IS allowed.Once I drop a control on a form (list box) to represent the aforementioned field, I realize I can put a checkmark in many items. Why? I add up the total length of the items text at 40-50 characters, yet the field size is only 20. To check my sanity, I open the Table in Datasheet view and lo, I can see all the Items spelled out, in clear violation of field size constraints
View 5 Replies View RelatedForms :: Upper Limit On Amount Of Time Allowed?
Sep 28, 2014How do I put an upper limit on the amount of time allowed in a date/time field?
For example - during a heart procedure a person is exposed to radiation, it will never be more than a total time of 10 minutes. I want to know how much, but I want data integrity so I don't want them to be able to enter more than 10 minutes.
Forms :: Datasheet White Space - Records Not Showing In Size Allowed
Dec 11, 2014I have a datasheet on a form that is unable to show all records in the size allowed. Consequently it has a vertical scroll bar. However, the scroll bar allows scrolling to the bottom whereby there is white space almost the same size as the data records. The horizontal scroll bar does much the same.
Is it possible to just show the records and only the width of the data in them.? No extra records exist in the table to cause this.
Forms :: Increase Maximum Characters Allowed In Expression Of Macro Setvalue Action
Apr 23, 2013Is there a way to increase the maximum characters allowed in an expression of a macro setvalue action ?
I have an expression in a macro setvalue action that adds multiple form textbox values. I need to change the form name from "RATING ENGINE 2" to "E RATING ENGINE 2". When I do this, I exceed the maximum characters allowed in the expression. Is there a way I can rename "RATING ENGINE 2" without this problem. The expression is as follows:
[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 6]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 7]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 8]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 9]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 10]

View 2 Replies View RelatedUser Only Allowed To Use The Form And Can Do Nothing Else Outside Of The Form
Mar 31, 2006Hi Folks,
I am wondering if someone can help me determine someway to setup a microsoft access database that I have so that the user can do nothing at all besides using the input form that I created and that automatically opens and is maximized via the autoexec macro. The reason for this is because although the user does need to use the form to enter or edit data, I do not want the user to close out the form and start playing with the data table or queries outside of the form. Is there a way where if the user closes the form, it will re-open very quickly so that there is no way they can do anything but use the form ... or some method that anyone knows about that might work. I really appreciate any help I can get, because this is for a non-profit governmental agency and this is the final piece that I would like to impliment before roll out into production on Monday.
Thank you,
Joe

Beginners Question - Auto Update Fields Based On Fields In Another Table
Nov 26, 2007I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy.
I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device".
The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
DEVICES:
NameDescriptionAssetIP
XserveFile Server107203.30.144.75
ProliantXDHCP119203.30.144.15
IP:
AddressIP TypeDevice
203.30.144.75Static
203.30.144.15Static
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
thank you

Creating New Table From Form Data Fields/clreaing Datat Fields.
Apr 13, 2008I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
Auto Rearrange Fields Or Hide Fields In DataSheet Based On Criteria
May 17, 2007I have main form and that has one sub-form , this Main form governs/determines the data in the sub form.
This Sub form ( DataSheet Mode) has approximately 130 columns and based on the Main form criteria only ~ 20 columns has to be filled.
What I want to do is based on the main forms criteria I want to show only the columns that are applicable to main form criteria.
If I use Columnar or Tabular single form for the Sub Form I am able to hide the fields that are not required BUT IT LEAVES A SPACE/GAP on form ( for the hidden fields that are not required)
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Forms!frmShowPIforActiveAndCanAddNewPI!FrmSubFrmFi lterProductInformationPerFMT!CASETIF = True Then
Me.CASETIF.Visible = True
Else
Me.CASETIF.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
And If I use DataSheet and hide ( visible = no) a particular filed it still shows up in Sub Form
Is there a way to Auto-Re Arrange all the fields in the sub form so that the hidden ( visible = no) fields no not leave gap
Or is there a way by VBA program to select fields ( Columns) from a table to be displayed on a sub form based on a criteria
Thanks

Forms :: Adding Fields In A Table And Having Output Fill Fields On A Form
Jan 29, 2014I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code:
SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay
FROM [Tble-wcDelays]
GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID
HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
That is the query.
Forms :: Total Query - Count Of Fields Based On Data In Other Fields
Jun 28, 2015I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.

Nov 18, 2013Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product
Unit

At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie

Worm 10pz Big

Modules & VBA :: Pass Data From Fields Into Table And Reset Fields
Aug 27, 2013I have a database that will register the emails coming in and what time, also the time, date out and person.
I have a form with the fields to be filled in and a submit button. There are some fields that are automatically filled in and others need manually fill in.
below that part is a sheet (subform in the form of sheet) that should be filled in with the above data. Once it is there, it should empty the fields so they are ready to be filled in again. If I fill new data and press the submit button, it should go to the next available row.
Search Key Error 3709 On 2 Fields In The Table - All Other Fields Allow Update
Aug 21, 2013I have a copy of the back-end that gets a search key error 3709 on two records. In other words, I can duplicate the problem.
The interesting part is that I can update any other field on both these records and save the record, but when I try to change two specific fields, I get a Search Key Error and have to ESC out to continue (basically UNDO the change). Both fields are text fields with lengths of 7 characters and 255 characters, and both are COMBO Boxes on the form.
I tried to focus on the form think there was an issue in the code. I can definitely TRAP the 3709 error on the ON ERROR event on the form using "if dataerr = 3709", but then I tried something even simplier.
I went directly to the table and to each of the records. Again I can update any other field in the record but these two specific fields. When I try to change either of them and move to another record, you get a Search Key Error 3709.
By going to the table record directly I'm as low level as I can get. There are no validation rules on either field at the database level. If it was truly CORRUPT would it let me update any of the other fields on either of these records? One is an empid (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required), and one is status code (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required) so they're no critical fields, but something is keeping them from CHANGING.
Just tried something else; deleted the INDEXES on both the fields. Now it works! I am completely confused now because it really wasn't a corrupt record, but the indexes are causing the problem. Do I need to update the indexes somehow when the users selects a new empid or status code?
