One Db Works, A Copied Version Doesn't. Driving Me Nuts.
Nov 13, 2006
hi,
i made an attendance db for work and got it to work. i then copied it and made two more for years 2 and 3. Years 1 and 3 work perefectly but for some reason the year 2 db won't allow me to write the data.
this is driving me nuts as i have already spent a few hours putting the students in and their course selections. i've tried making the forms again and as soon as i use a joint sub form to get the students first name the problem occurs. i've looked at the properties of the forms and they allow edits etc..
if anyone is feeling kind and has a spare moment, could you let me know why it doesn't work.
Hi I am having a real hard time with access weared errors. I am using following code:
Me.HistorySymptoms.Form.Refresh 'Just to make sure. It was a try because of error If Me.HistorySymptomTab.Visible = True Then 'It is a subform in a tab page For counter = 0 To 29 'Number of fields in the recordset If IsNull(rs.Fields(1 + counter).value) = False Then ' Just to check Null values MsgBox rs.Fields(counter).Name 'For debugging Old_History(counter) = rs.Fields(1 + counter).value 'This line has problem End If MsgBox rs.Fields(counter).Name & " Done.||" & counter Next counter End If
The error comes in the maked line on accessing the field value. Previously I had another error but after going through the process of "Corrupt Access file correction", I am getting this one. My form has subforms in tabpages. I want to save all the field values to the array on pressing a button. Button is part of the main form and code copies values from a subform. I don't think my file is corrupt as I went through the process twice :-( Looking for help RMA
When the query is run, it returns 0 results. However, if I put in Like '5???????' as the criteria in the query itself, it runs properly.
I tried closing the form and running the query so that it asks me for a value since it can't find that textbox since the form is closed. I pasted in Like '5???????' and it returns 0 results.
I have used this method for entering start and end dates for reports before and it has worked just fine. I can't figure out why it isn't working here. Any thoughts?
Hi! I'm relatively new to Access (2003) . I had to modify a shared network app so I copied it off and renamed it, made my mods and everything is fine. I then went to another app that connects to the original app to obtain data for display and synchronization, modified the call to open the new app including the new mdw. When it hits the new mdw, it can't open it because it says it's being used exclusively or the workgroup file is missing. It's not being used exclusively and it doesn't appear to be missing. The network path is correct. If I use the mdw from the original source app, it works fine. Please advise! :(
Hello All, I have MSAccess ade working in some computers which has WindowsXP-pro(SP1 and SP-2) without any problem. But It doesnot work(When i said it doesn't work means it doesn't work in certain parts which i will give an example) in some computers that has exact same configaration. The problem is when I try to instance a class using a TypeName function, it doesnot recognize the class name and just returns an object rather than recognizing the class's name. Its a strange thing because I have some .ade from past works fine in all machines. The only difference is In the new .Ade is I have included the Microsoft outlook 11.0 object library. But the part of the code thats not working doesn't even use the Outlook library at all. So did anyone has this kind of problem, PLease suggest or ask me if you have more details of this problem. I really appreciate your help. Thanks again ds111
I've created a database where a query who'se result is loaded on a form uses following function --
DateDiff('d',Date(),[Target Date])-(DateDiff('ww',Date(),[Target Date])*2)-(Select Count(*) from [tblHolidays] where [HolidayDate] between Date() and [Target Date])
I've notice that 2 ppl get an error message when they try to open database, with thatt function coming on an error message Does this mean they have older access version ? How can I tell ? Any advise on what to do ?
basically am creating a booking system, i have a add a room form. my form should check whether i already have a room number in my table, which works when the form is filled in. however when my form is null, then i press add new room button, i get this error rather than " please fill your form in"
Error: runtime error '3075' syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Room Number ='.
room number is a number field, integer but has primary key. i cant keep autonumber, as my requirement is to add new room number, but the roomnumber has to be unique.
here is the dlookup;
If DLookup("RoomNumber", "tblRooms", "RoomNumber = " & Forms!RoomPackages!txtRoomNumber) > 0 Then MsgBox "This number already exists." Else
I am really green when it comes to Access---i am entering text variables and pushing tab to get to the next field..however, when I push tab to get to next field it the program is automatically counting by two's, three's etc. based on 'pattern.' For example-I entered 2, then tab 4 and when I tabbed again a 6 magically appeared. I need to know how this can be turned off...it is driving me nutty.
i opened up my database this morning and it has been working fine all day, suddenly where it is located a copy of my database has been worked, and the original when opens shows nothing, anyone knows what happened?thanks
Long time ago some computerdude made a database for my dad so he had a place for his customerinformation. When I open the file on his computer the file sort of "start" or "run" - there appears a little window where you can click buttons like "find customer", "remind me in two days" etc. That's how it always has worked and how it should work.
We have bought a new computer. We want a new database for me, where I can type my customers in the exact same way as in my dads access file. I have managed to import all the tables etc. without any data, BUT
I CAN'T GET THE DATABASE TO "RUN" OR "START" WHEN I OPEN THE ACESSFILE! HOW DO I GET THE LITTLE WINDOW WITH THE BUTTONS TO APPEAR IN THE SAME WAY AS ON MY DADS COMPUTER?
I only get the tables and the kind of "edit mode" when I open the program.I have tried to change the securitysettings, so access dosn't block any macros.
I have a customer who is concerned that their access database may be copied and used by a competitor. I have told him to set up passwrods for all users amd hide the system file which stores the password info so database won't open off site if copied. He doesn't want to do this though. Is there any other way, possibly by encrypting it?
I made a little Access app for a friend, to do his invoices. Access wouldn't allow me to copy the db to a CD, but advised me to convert it to a Master. I followed all the instructions (honest!). Afterwards, I could burn his db to a CD and, on his computer, it opened but wouldn't allow edits or new records - not terribly helpful for an invoicing program :eek:
Since then I've tried creating a new admin in his name, re-setting all permissions, blah blah ... Basically, it looks like there is loads of help on securing a database but very little on un-securing it enough to be transferred to another PC!
The dang thing persists in allowing everything except edits & additions :confused:
I can't find out how to convert it back from a Master to ... what, a slave? :p Even so, that wouldn't be the answer coz I'd be back at square1.
I use a PC running XP and Office 2003. My invoice-less friend has a PC with Win[NT]2000 and Office 2000. I converted the database to Access 2000. I am way out my depth here, but hoping you Access swimmers will be able to advise :cool:
I have a report in my DB that displays the results of several queries. How can I have the information displayed on my report entered into a table as a record when the report is generated?

Can someone please help me because this is driving me insane!!
All I want to do is open a form which automatically copies the ExampleID from another form which is open.
For example on an Orders Form there will be an OrderID (Primary Key) so when I click to open the OrderItems form, which will open so that I can add an item to the Order, I need the same OrderID (Foreign Key) to automatically match the OrderID from the Orders form.
I've tried making the default value for the OrderID (Foreign Key) = the OrderID on the Orders form but the database doesn't like this method and produces errors!
Does that make sense? I hope so as I am in need of a very kind persons help!!!
So I have this killer report that took me hours to set up. I run it daily and it is great.
I now need to filter it slightly for 1 specific user. So what I did was I copied the query and renamed it. I added the filter I needed. But I don't want to have to re-create the report. Even though I know what I need it will take quite a bit of time to recreate it.
Is there a better way? Can I copy the report (using the same query) but add the filter on the report side?
My query looks like this...The problem is that when I have one Radio with two records where [Defect fixed?] is false it counts that as two separate radios instead of one. Somehow I need to make it sum records with the same Radio/Serial_number as one...Anyone have any suggestions?
SELECT DISTINCT Defect_Log.[Defect Fixed?], Defect_Log.Station, Part_Number_Log.Type FROM Part_Number_Log INNER JOIN (Serial_Number_Log INNER JOIN Defect_Log ON Serial_Number_Log.Serial_Number = Defect_Log.Serial_Number) ON Part_Number_Log.[Part Number] = Serial_Number_Log.Part_Number GROUP BY Defect_Log.[Defect Fixed?], Defect_Log.Station, Part_Number_Log.Type HAVING (((Defect_Log.[Defect Fixed?])=False) AND ((Defect_Log.Station)="station 1") AND ((Part_Number_Log.Type)="vhf"));
I have attached a very small table with one query. I need help having the query perform a calculation. NOTE: I do not want to achieve the calculation in a form or a report.
I have a form with a duplicate record button to allow records to be copied. I used this code (I think from Allen Browne), but it only copies the last record in the recordset?
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any changes Me.Dirty = False End If If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record. MsgBox "Select a record to duplicate"
Hi, I'm trying to build a mdb which holds customer details, which insurance they have, who sold them this and which Insurance company provided this. The relations I have to make are driving me nuts ! When I try to enter a new customer in a Form, there is a advisor added, the package the customer wants is added. But this shouldn't happen for the advisor and the package allready exists !
Who can help me with the proper relations ? Attached is screendump of the current relations.
Hi, i have several tables in my database, wanted to know if the tables between:
Client -----> Theory
Client -----> Practical
are 1 to 1 relationship, right? Client can do one Theory, Practical.. but what if Client failed Theory, is that saying they can do more? I'm confused with the whole logic on this. Any help would be appreciated.
Hehe... and since me and my girlfriend just broke up, that seems applicaple both in the dbase and the real world ;)
I have one Access Database. For now containing three Tables:
KlantNAW (customer adress data) with one primary key, Klantnummer (clientnumber) which is an Autonumber Data Type, Long Int, Increment, Indexed: Yes (No dupes).
CaseDateTimeInfoTable with one primary key, Casenumber which is an Autonumber type, Long Int, Incremental, Indexed: Yes (No dupes). Within this table I have included the Klantnummer field from KlantNAW as a Number, Indexed: Yes (dupes OK).
CaseTechInfoTable with no primary keys but with both the KlantNummer field and the CaseNumber field included. Both have a direct relationship to the tables in which those two values are created. Both values are now of type Number, both are Indexed, but Klantnummer is set to Duplicates OK and Casenumber is set to No Duplicates. I don't know if it might be wiser to just not index those values in this table, since they are already indexed in the tables in which they are created, if someone could tell me which is better in this case, please do.
I have created a one-to-many relationship (well actually, access seems to decide whether it becomes a one-to-many or one-to-one relationship) between KlantNAW.Klantnummer and CaseDateTimeInfoTable.Klantnummer with Join Type 1 and I've created a Join Type 1, one-to-many relationship between KlantNAW.Klantnummer and CaseTechInfoTable.Klantnummer. There is only one extra relationship left, which is a one-to-one, Join Type 1 CaseDateTimeInfoTable.CaseNumber with CaseTechInfoTable.CaseNumber.
So ehrm.... a recap: KlantNAW.Klantnummer (P-key) with CaseDateTimeInfoTable.Klantnummer KlantNAW.Klantnummer (P-key) with CaseTechInfoTable.Klantnummer CaseDateTimeInfoTable.CaseNumber (P-key) with CaseTechInfoTable.Casenumber
If I leave it like that the dbase works perfectly except for the fact that when I delete a customer the related case date/time info and the case tech info don't delete with the client account accordingly.
So, I thought I'd "Enforce Referential Integrity" and "Cascade Delete Related Records". I do not know if it would be wise to also enable "Cascade Update Related Fields". Could someone please tell me if that would be wise to do or not? And maybe even why... I have some beginner and more advanced books but can't be sure, probably because of lack of experience (or maybe lack of brains ;) ).
Anyway, back to the problem: when I make all the relationships to Enforce Rererential Integrity and I add a customer through a form (KlantNAW_InvoerForm) and click the "Create new case for this customer" button, the form I use for entering the case date info pops up nicely, but when I try to close that form I get an Error stating: "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table "KlantNAW"". So, I click ok, then get a messagebox stating I can't save the record at this time. Do I want to close anyway? .... well, ok. Let's do that. And now the strange thing is that after that, when I do absolutely nothing other than pressing the create new case button again, enter the date/time info into the form and close it again, no errors or messages come up. Wel... that should happen the first time around right? What's wrong?
Now... I'm really lost. I'm new at this. I made some tables, queries and forms, set all options for all values, that which I didn't understand mostly tried solving or finding out on my own but now I'm hitting a brick wall.
If you guys and gals could help me out I would really be very grateful for that.
EDIT: I even tried making it more simple by removing all relationships and creating just one new one between KlantNAW.KlantNummer and CaseDateTimeInfoTable.Klantnummer (type 1, enforce referential integrity and cascade deleted records) but still, the same problem arises.
EDIT2: made sure it was not a form thing by just putting in data in the table data views directly. Same thing occurs.
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....:eek:
I am trying to create a chart on a Form. In Excel I have no problems arranging my data. This is my first try for charts in Access. I have a table. I created a query summing two fields of this table:
Total Workers Total Workers: DCount("[WorkerNameLast]","1-StationVerifyTbl","[ClockNbr]<>'*'") Total Workers = 120
Total Verified Verified Workers: DCount("[WorkerNameLast]","1-StationVerifyTbl","[StaPrimary]=True") Total Verified = 43
So far so good. That is the correct information. What I want in a Chart is two bars side by side. One bar at 120 and the other bar at 43. I have tried everything and cannot get this to work. I am getting confused on the Axis, Data, & Series. I think I need another Field somehow. The totals I would call Monthly Totals
Could someone please help me get this thing started. I have wasted a week and feel like I have learned nothing except how to count in the Query.
After this I would like to be able to show a percentage of those verified. I have 120 workers and 43 are verified. That would be approx 35%. Anyway I am assuming that there is a solution and that I am just floundering for nothing. Thanks in advance.
So i have a union query pulling together about 3,000 records from other queries.
I arranged all the counts and data I need to fit onto one page, but the report is copying that page (minus the header) for each record in the union query. I'd much prefer a one page report rather than a 3,000 page report.
Why does it do that? All I want is a one page report, how can I make that happen?
