i have a form hooked up to a table (pretty obvious i guess). anyway, what i would like be to able to do is be able to enter multiple entries, navigate them using the navigation buttons, close the form, then reopen and not be able to use the navigation buttons to look at ones that have previously been entered.
i could use the onclose function to run a query taking the results from the table and putting them into a different table while deleting the table hooked up to the form, but i was wondering if there is a way to accomplish this using just the one table.
Hi ,I have to make some specific records in a table in bold.Can any body suggest me how to make a particular record in bold or set some color fonts in order to high light the record. I have to design a report which shows some priority records with different font style in ms access

I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...

I want to make a graph that will show how many employees are in the company for each year (Going back 10 years and keeping up to date) I have never done this before and our teacher feels that its best if we learn on our own (basicaly he's an idiot).
How do I go about using the pivot chart?
I have made a query which adds up the total number of employees at the current time.. but apart from that I havent a clue. I want the graph to have the years on the bottom and numbers up the side (1,2,3,4,5 etc) and then the number of employees that were in the company during that year will be plotted.
I will use a table that is to be used for archiving to mke the query as it will have all the employees who were ever in the system record.
The table is thus:
Employee_ID Emp_First_Name Emp_Surname Age Emp_Home_Number Emp_Mobile_Number Emp_Address_1 (so on and including postcode) Date_Started Position_ID
I have no idea what to do other than to rename the axes and change the increments, but they are jsut numbers, no dates or anything.
I am having error message when I tried to make my mdb file to mde. The error message is "MS Access unable to create an MDE database". Reading through the help message it says that this problem always occurrs in trying to compile large db into MDE. So what can I do to solve this problem. Also what is MS access memory capacity. thanks
:mad:Is there anyway, I can tell who is making my backups. Is there any thing I can use to find out who is creating a backup. I have sent out emails to the users, but no one will confess who is doing yet. I have 200 users now. I have talk to our IT people, they mention it would take a lot of there time to track it down.
One column is "Unitary Price", another one is "Quantity" and another one is "Tax"
And I want another column called "Total" that shows: Unitary Price*Quantity+Tax*Price*Quantity
Is this possible to be made?? :( I'm a bit newbie to MS Access, so try to explain as most detailed as you can! For example, if I have to write [Unitary Price] between brackets... I tried doing this on the "Default Value" field of the column but I couldn't make it.
I'm trying to make totals in a query, but instead of using all, I need to leave one out, how to do that? for example the table looks like: A 2 3 B 4 6 C 2 5 D 3 5 E 2 3 How can I leave row 1 out? So that the query will look like: 11 19
The MainMenu calls the other 3, when I execute the mde file the only form opened is the frmAddEmployee! it should open the frmMainMenu because this one calls the others....! I've tried several times....the same result!
i'm trying to create a form for data input. When creating a new record, I want to make a field, "Date," to read from the last record and use that value as the default value. This way, I don't have to input the same date in every time I make a new record. How would I do this? Thanks =)
I need two reports made but I don't know the programming. The first report comes from a table that has contact numbers and their scan times. Their number comes from one column and their times come from another column in a table that i have. the time comes in this format 6/11/2007 3:46:40 AM. One report I need is those who just scaned in for that certain day. The second report is one to take their times and calculate how long they were scanned in per day, and per week. Is there any such way to do this and how would I.
I am trying to use VBA to address a field in three different subforms on a form. When I am in the VBA environment writing the code, I noticed that only two of the subforms are listed in the Project window on the upper left. I ignored that and wrote the code anyway, and when I execute the code, it works fine for the two subforms in the Project window, but when it gets to the third subform, it throws this error:
"MS Office Access can't find the field '|' referred to in your expression."
The code is this: Private Sub Test_Number_AfterUpdate() [Form_Consumables Entry].Test_Number.DefaultValue = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value [Form_Squawk Entry].Test_Number.DefaultValue = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value [Form_Event Log Entry].Test_Number.Value = [Form_Test Director Panel].Test_Number.Value End Sub
Can anyone tell me how to make all of my forms available to VBA?
I have a form which I need to make read only. On Access 98 it used to ask how I wanted to open and view the form in edit mode or view. I cant find this option in 2003 anyone got a quick answer? Many Thanks
I just started learning Access and I have created a database with 53 records, 3 tables and 1 Split form. I creared a new yes/no field and I am attempting to display "Completed" in green for yes and "Not Completed" in red for no. I used the correct code in the format field:
"Not Completed "[Red];" Completed "[Green]
This worked for different field before I created the split form but now I cannot get the new field to display anything but check boxes regardless of what code I use. It won't even let me use the default yes/no, true/false or on/off options.
I've been studying this for about 2 weeks and I've figured out quite a bit but this one thing is really iritating me....
I'm working on a Access 2003 mdb file. I want the database to start commonly without any user-login screen. Nevertheless I want to prevent the default logged in user from making any changes to the database structure, using the tables and examing the VBA code.
Because of some strange guidelines I have to respect those changes have to be directly made to the mdb file itself (if possible) so no additional worgroup file is created.
