AcHidden Not Working...
Jul 13, 2005Hi all. I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to this I'm afraid... can someone help? I learned how to set a form as acHidden in my database so that I can check first that there are records matching the search-criteria and then make it visible if there are... However, it doesn't appear to be working for one of my forms... are there instances when a form won't appear as visible? On the form in question I have a couple of Call functions in the OnOpen action... would that interfere with it being 'hidden'?
Any help/ideas please?
Options To Use For A Small App
May 10, 2005Hi,
I was using access 2000 to build a small office app. It will be on a network and will generally be used by only 2 or 3 people(max). I was wondering if the default jet technology would be good enough for this. If it isn't, what should I use? I looked at other options such as msde and ado but it's a bit confusing when you're new to this stuff.
Thanks,

Saving Options?
Aug 10, 2005I'm trying to create a database for a taxi-type service that runs on thursday, friday and saturday nights. My question is: Is there a way to save the database at the end of the night separate from the previous nights, and so that the database is empty for the next night, but reports can be viewed for all of the nights combined?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Need Help Trying To Understand Options
Jan 18, 2006ok I have an access db which is all on access. the dbase has been operational now for 3 years and working well however, do to business needs and changes I'm trying to figure out a better way to collect and share data.
So the backend of the database is stored on our local office server when users log on to enter or review data they must be in the local office. We now had the need to access the database remotely from customer sites. Now the way this works is we use a local dialer to connect to our company's network and then are routed to our local server (you can imagine how slow this is) it is impossible to operate the current database this way. So I have been reading different posts and different options (front page, sql, asp etc.) What
I would like to do is convert my dbase to a program which can allow input and review of data both remotely and locally without a huge speed loss. What is the best approch for me?
thanks

Enabling Options
Jan 17, 2008I'm by no means an expert when it comes to using access and its many controls that are avaliable to use on forms. Thats why I've come here to seek your help.
I have a database that has been created by someone who has now left the company and it needs a little work done to it.
The ideal thing we would like to get working on form, is that we would like a number of options to be greyed out and only accessable when another option is ticked.
I'm not sure how to group these options together, nor an I sure how make them active only when an specific tick box is ticked. Any help would greatly appreciated on this matter.
Thanks for your time and patience.

Aug 31, 2005I am a bit of a beginner to Access 2003, and I would appreciate any help you can give me? :)
I have a drop down box on a form in Access 2003 with several options when an option is selected from the first drop down I would like a sub catagory of the selected drop down option to appear in the second drop down menu.
For example:
First drop down Hair, Clothes,
If you select Hair it then give the products relating to hair which need to be choosen in the second drop down menu.
I hope this makes sense.

Nov 18, 2004I am trying to create a window in access that will have about 30 different boxes that the user of the database can choose from to click on and automatically sort the information in both a Form and Sub-form, and display the information for the User. Frankly this is a little beyond my means, and I need to know where to get started. I have good knowledge of Access but I don't have much experience when it comes to programming in commands and such. Any help would be appreciated.

Options To Get Info From Tables
May 16, 2005It seems that there are a few different ways to get info from the tables when developing an applications that i know of:
1)queries
2)dao
3)ado
4)selects without any of the above
I lean towards the last 2 but I need to know this: is there any advantages in using ado as opposed just sql?
For instance i ran this sql:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim SQL As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strCriteria = Forms![form2]![Text1]
SQL = "SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.clinic)='" & strCriteria & "'))"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmClinic"
Forms![frmClinic].RecordSource = SQL
End Sub
it worked fine. I could see how a beginner would prefer to use queries over sql but I would prefer to use sql in vba. I've read that dao is older and I should use ado instead. So that leaves ado vs. the way I displayed it in the above code. So which way should I go? If I'm over looking queries or dao in favour of ado/sql, just point out their advantages if you don't mind.
Thanks,

Options For Networked Situations
Apr 10, 2006I have been having issues dealing with "moving servers" addresses, file relocations, and folder name changes.
this makes 'linking' quite difficult.
I came up with this option, and am wondering if this would work.
'Delete old table connection
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ExampleTableLink"
'remake them based on current location.
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "Microsoft Access", Application.CurrentProject.Path & "DatabaseName.mdb", acTable, "ExampleTable", "ExampleTable"
Basically, this code deletes your current link, then recreates it based upon the path of the current database location. As long as the two databases are relativily equal in there locations, one could move the databases / be in completely different locations, and the links would always work fine.
IE:
One computer has the location as w:database folder
Another has q:somewheresomehowIdon'tgetitdatabase folder
3rd example \serverWierdsomeplacehotcoolcheese.blue.orgda tabase folder
and the links would still be established correctly.
In fact, old broken links would be erased and re-established correctly.
I KNOW there are limitations to this.
For example... If this is run from A FRONT END, then the front end's current location is give as the current location.
Can anyone think of a way around this? Without user interaction?
The only option I can think of for this example would be to allow a user to manually run this "relinking" process by re-copying out a new user interface from the backend setup.
IE:
If the current front end fails, tell user to go to backend location, open the "backup" user interface, on doing so, the links are re-established and a copy of the front end is put on user Computer with desktop link.
Don't really like that option though... too.. clumsy and dependent on user knowledge / skill.
Any other ideas guys?

How can I do that?
Options Table Or Registry
Apr 27, 2007I'm curious about everyone's opinion of creating an Options table to keep track of things like defaults vs. using the system registry.
Example: For a montly report, I'd like to remember the previous end-date the user picked and use previous end-date+1 as the starting date the next time the user runs the report to make it easier on the user.
Thoughts?
thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedCombo Box To Also Select All Options
Oct 9, 2006I am having an issue with a combo box on a form with the following query. It works exactly as it should, but unfortunatly, I need a little more.
cboASC is off a table, cboQCode is from values, If I don't fill 1 of the combo boxes I get a blank record (just fields).
What I need is an option to choose all Primary Locators and/or all Qcodes for a general report instead of a local report.
SELECT CallsEntered.[Work Order Nbr], CallsEntered.[Date Entered], CallsEntered.[Time Entered], CallsEntered.[Primary Locator Code] AS [ASC], CallsEntered.Headend, CallsEntered.Node, CallsEntered.[Grid Id], CallsEntered.[Q Code], CallsEntered.[Problem Code 01], CallsEntered.[Primary Finding Code], CallsEntered.[Primary Solution Code], CallsEntered.[Cancel Code], CallsEntered.[Scheduled Date], CallsEntered.[Wo Status], CallsEntered.[Date CheckIn], CallsEntered.[Assigned Installer], Calendar.Week, Calendar.Year

Updating My Combo Options
Jan 4, 2006I just added a column to my table upon which a cascading combo box is built. When a name is selected from the combo box, 2 related fields populate. I want it now to populate a 3rd field. So I added the column to the table to input the data into that 3rd field, and adjusted the column widths and count in the combo box. However, when I indicate the control source of the 3rd field as the corresponding new column from the combo box, nothing populates in my 3rd field. I've tested it by designating one of the previuosly exisiting combo box columns and it will populate the data, but it seems to not be recognising my new column. I've also verified the properties of the new field to ensure that it is visible. What went wrong?

Apr 5, 2006hi everybody,
i am making an access database based on a mysql/web project. in the database, there are a lot of fields which answer yes/no questions and are stored as 0/1 in the database. i would like my dropdown to to have a yes/no option, and then insert 0 or 1 into the database accordingly. i would also like the existing value to be pre-selected in the dropdown. i am used to doing this in web forms, and not sure how to implement using access forms.
what is the best way to do this with access?

Using Multiple Search Options
May 14, 2006Hi guys,
I made a form to search some values in a table and print them in a report.
The form looks like this:
http://www.minezone.nl/jamie/search.bmp
When clicking the "show report" button a macro is executed. In this macro I have the following code:
OpenReport -->
Report name: main
View: print preview
Where condition: [name]=[Forms]![searchfeedback]![namebox] And [week]=[Forms]![searchfeedback]![week]
Now what I want is a bit difficult.
I want to give users the ability to search by each option and by using multiple options.
i.e.
- When filling in the name and click the show button it gives all reports for that person.
- When filling in the name and selecting the weeknumber it gives all reports for that person in a particular week.
and so on with the id field, the date field and the supervisor field.
How do I create something like that?
