View RepliesI'm trying to limit the number of records entered into a database, and return an "error". Not an error exactly but it should pop up and say "the limit of 25 members allowed to sign up for this class has been met". I figured out how to go in access and create a validation rule so that "ID < 26", and it has successfully blocked records #26 and up from being saved, but it shows on the form that it was submitted. How do I get it to "know" when to say "the limit has been met"??
Thanks in advance!!
Is there a limit on the number of records you can have in an access database? I've got one with 8500 records and it's been a PITA! I have a webpage on our intranet so users can go and enter their information to it, and they get a nasty error whenever they try to enter information. I'm trying to figure out why and i was just wondering... i know it's not the webpage because when i connect it to my test database it works fine? so i dunno :confused:
any help is greatly appreciated!!
Hi All.
Is it possible to limit the number of records in a form, to a number given in a linked form.
For Example.
tblA
StreetName
No_Of_Houses
tblB
Name
Number
I would only want the number of records in tblB to be the same as No_Of_Houses in tblA.
I have seen previous threads where you can limit it to a number, but do not know where to go from there.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I have a Top 10 query (it is based on $ amount) and everything works fine except...say I have 1,000 records and 5 are >$0 it shows those fine but since the other 995 records are $0 it shows "all" of them.
I would like to limit the record count in the query to only 10. Within that 10 records if there are $0 records then I would like to show them up to the 10 record limit.
I see both sides I think but you would think that if you say "Top 10" it would be "10".
Thank you :confused:
I have three tables;
tblPallet
PalletId
DateDespatched
TblBox
BoxId
PalletID
TblKitting
KITID
BoxID
Model
Process
The users will be adding a kitting item to a box. Only 10 items are allowed in a box (no more no less) and the box needs to have its own Id Number and then the box is placed on a pallet. 40 boxes are allowed on a pallet (again no more no less) and the pallet is despatched. Then a new pallet is set up.
I am trying to think of the easiest way to do this as I am a little new to Access. Any tips in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I thought about a series of subforms from a main pallet form but am not sure how to introduce a limit to the number of records in a subform. Perhaps Ive bitten off more than I can chew (I hope not)
Many thanks
HI I am creating a booking system.
I would like to have a form that only shows 10 records for each event. As this is the max number of people that can attend at any one time. How would I go about this. do I use single form, continous for or what ? thanks for any help

I am attempting to right program for work and here is my problem. Every Unit in the Army has a Unit Identification Code and my boss wants two records of each UIC stored. But when you add a new record for that UIC he wants the oldest one purged, so he only wants 2 records on file in order to maintain some sort of volume problems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Finally after 2 1/2 days I have the ability to bring a dbase 5.5 file in to Access 2007.
1.Do a normal export of a DBF file out all dbase.
2. Excel 2007 - open the DBF file. Note: dBase Files (*.dbf)
3. Save as a .xlsx file.
4. Access 2007 - right click on table in left columnImportexcel
5, Note: You'll be looking at a window with a yellow bar across the top.
Browse to your *.xlsx file and open.
6. Select "OK"show Worksheets nextFirst Row Contains Column HeadingsNextNextNo Primary KeyextFinishclose
7. Double Click on file in left column and there it is.
Never got other methods to work, sad to say.
After a day to get to this result, the problems begin. Every time we would change one character field from 50 char to 6 char, or whatever, the out of memory or disk space error would come up. I have 250 gig available and I'm running 4gig of memory with nothing loaded but Access 2007. I even shut down my virus checker.
So I spent a day or two trying to find a wining combo (A File Size That Would Work). And here it is, 148500 records that comprise of a 21.3m file is the breaking point. If I change a character field, 250char to 6 char, I'm ok. If I change a couple more it get the error message. 150,000 will get a memory/Drive error no matter what is changed.
Is there a option in Access that should be on. Because I find it hard to believe that an old dBase program, one step up from DOS, can handle 350,00 records all day long and Access chocks on 148000 records. Up until now I thought Access was the best thing that happened. There has to be something wrong, no software designer would have done this. I even checked for a corrupt file, the best I could. If there is a file checked out there, I’m open to it.
I have a form with Continuous Records as its default view. I would like to number the amount of records displayed on screen to about 5 or 6 at a time instead of having them scrolling right off the bottom of the screen. Is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks
I want to limit the # of records being entered in a form according to a limit value which has to come from a query.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI can't get this to work! I have a module for it and I think (?) the correct code.
'Limit Records On Subform.
OnCurrentEvent of Main Form ' Main form is frmTimeCards
LimitRecords Me.frmPayrollEntry.Form, 7 ' Allow at most 7 records
Scenario: Main Form/Subform
Subform is a Continuous form.
Enter Payroll via Subform
Via Combo, select a Employee on Subform
Enter Hours
Finish,Select a New Employee
Using CarryOver for Employee
Problem: Can't add new Record for a new Employee.Because of the Limit Records Code.?
In Access 2010 I am previewing a customer report. I also try to give users the choice of seeing history sub records for any given customer. I have a selection dropdown box where they can chose ALL, 5, 10 or 15 in a report. To this end I set the record source in the "Open" event for the subreport. if I want all records it works fine, but as soon as I put in "SELECT TOP 5" the subreport goes invisible. I have tested the query directly and it works fine. I'm sure this worked in Access 2007
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to hide previously added records which have been added to a subform? For example a user adds their selections and closes the database. They then re-open the database and rather than displaying their previous selection - its blank ready to start again?
View 11 Replies View RelatedIn the form frmOrders of my database i have a combobox where i can choose a ClientID and the dropdown list shows me all the clients in upgoing order with their related orders in descent order.But the drop down list doesn't show all available clients.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a database that has transactions since year 2009. I want the users to only be able to view and edit transactions that were entered in the last 6 days. I was initially able to do this by putting a filter in the Property Sheet section of the form and choosing Yes for Filter on Load.
However, a user was able to discover that by clicking on Clear All Filters, the filter I set was also cleared, thus making them see all the transactions beginning year 2009.
I am looking to run a query in Access that will limit the number of records for each criteria.
example:
>10 years count 300
1-3 years count 100
4-6 years count 200
6-10 years count 250
can limit the amount in one query or have to do the criteria separate?
I have an Access application for which I would like to provide potential customers with a fully functional application but with a limit to the number of records that can be stored in the main file.
I would like to have a message displayed to say "The maximum number of records have been reached for this application."
Could you help with the VB code required to do this? The module will become active at the "On Open" property when the main Form is opened.
Thank you.

I have a question on number of records displaying in datasheet view on a form. Is there a way to limit the number of records showing on open.I have a command button on a Navigation form that opens a frmEnterPartsOrder using a Macro.
I have set the Macro to OpenForm, View Datasheet then GoToRecord, Record New..Works perfectly, but it does open the form and fill the screen with records, putting focus on the "new" record at the bottom of the form. Is there a way to set it to open this form, but only display say last 10 records and then focus on "new" record.
We have a database with one main data entry which stores records in a seperate table. There are several thousand records keyed in using this form. Therefore, alongside the entry we have a search form which allow the user to search for a specific record and display it in the main if he/she needs to edit one.
We have received a request from users for a functionality which allows users to browse all records, using the main form layout, that they have keyed in. I guess what I am asking is: Is there a way to limit the records visible in a form using field on that same form as a limitation (ie. the users name - which is a required key-in)?
Can you use the LIMIT function in access?
It limits the number of records out putted by a query.

I am trying to uses a inputbox. I need it to end the script if cancel is hit, but the value from the input box can be zero? So cant filter it that way.

Does the SQL command LIMIT work in access and is it possible to number row in order?
Hello All:
We use a custom built Access “97 version” database at work that keeps track of our internal manufacturing processes. The database stores jpg’s and dwg files that use up a lot of precious DB space and if we had it to do over we would use hyperlinks to these files to save space. But this database we built long ago and we have reached the 1 gig limit of Access 97.
1) If we upgrade to a newer version of access will this increase the database limit to 2 gig’s
2) Is this kind of upgrade easy to do or should this be done by a Access professional
Thanks for the help
