Ok, Let's say I go into File->Database Properties from the "main" Access screen. This brings up a window with the title "<database name> Properties" where <database name> is the same as currentproject.name.
This window has several tabs including "Summary" and "Custom." It looks like this should be stuff that I can set and then reference from within my code.
My thought is that I can use the "Title" from the "Summary" screen as a variable for all of my msgbox titles. The other interesting one is "Project" on the "Custom" tab. It looks like this may be the same sort of thing.
I've found that the Access Help is absolutely useless - I'm about ready to take a shotgun to "Clippy." But as they say, a display is a terrible thing to waste <grin>. I've also found that it's getting harder and harder to find what I'm looking for in the MSDN library. There's so much stuff and they don't always file it in logical places.
Well, thanks for reading.. sorry for the rant. As usual, any help is appreciated!
Cheers!
Hi, I would like to change the properties of either the column heads in a combo-box or the column names for tables. I don't think there's any way to adjust the column head properties, and I'm doubtful there's a way to change the column caption properties.
Some of my column titles are long, and I'd like to be able to word wrap them essentially. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.
Ill start from the dawn of time
right all tables are like a 2d array so does any body know how i can access a field in a row of a table ie like in most languages it goes a bit like this ArrayName(1,1) with ArrayName being the name of the table and that access the first field of the first row. im new to Vba and access 2000 but all i want to do is access the fields in a column of a sub-form displayed as a table add them all up and place the answer in a text box on the main form stick all this in a function so i can run it inside a macro
q1 is this possable
q2 how do you do it
thanks in advance john
Hi!
I'm making a test database for DVD rentals. When A loan is made I have an update query that sets some fields in the DVD copy table. One of these fields needs to be set to the primary key of the loan made. This would be the last entry on the loans table. I don't have any idea what to put in the 'Update To' box in the query though.
Wrong code here, but this may help explain what I am trying to get: Tables.Loans.LastLoan.Loan ID
Also heres an image of my query:

Help would be much appreciated. Thanks :)
Hi,
I have developed a small database with 3 or 4 forms which works ok on most PC's. But when I put it on a certain PC, it almost works properly except for one form which is very slow accessing the table!
Eg. It could take 2 minutes to use a combobox.
All PC's have Access 2000.
Would there be a reason for this?
Is this an access problem or a PC problem? Are there special settings that I'm unaware of?
Thanks in advance
Hi folks,
I have an Append Query (Insert Into...) that I use to insert values into a table from a form. But to have that tie into other tables I need to gather the Student_ID (primary key) that is autogenerated when the record is inserted. How do I do this? I want to store it in a public variable. I've done quite a bit of searching but nothing of any value has turned up. Please help.
What I have on button press:
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Register Camp Students"
After that I need something to gather that newly inserted Student_ID and store it for later use. Please help!
Ciao,

Ive got 4 tables with on field name MO_ID that is formatted as a number. I then have a make table/append query that takes these 4 tables and puts them all into one table. At this step, I need to convert the field MO_ID to being a text field so that I can use an update query to change some special scan codes into word equivalents. For example, 100066 is getting updated to "Admin".
The simple solution would seem to be to change the the original 4 table fields to a text, but that wont work in this case. I have several other queries that need to have relational properties with other tables that comparing numbers to numbers so that wont work.
Is there a way to make that field change to a text field? But only when I run a certain query and only in that one table?
Hi all,
I've got this simple thing.. which I couldn't do and stuck for a long long time.. I have done some programming in a few languages, but not in SQL or VBA and I quite confused about programming styles that VBA and SQL accepts.
I'm currently working in Microsoft access and the thing I'm stuck on is retriving field value from a record and writing into another record on the same table.
For example the table "Table-users" looks like the following:
ID Name Year Month Date
1 Steven 1979 9 18
2 Jeremy 1977 10 22
3 Eslynn 1988 10 10
I've built a form that contains two lables (combobox), "ReplaceMe" "LoadMe" and a command button. Which end user could choose which record to load and which to replace.
I wish to copy Year, Month and Date from LoadMe into ReplaceMe without effecting the Replace me ID and Name.
The VBA, SQL code i've got looks like.
-----------------
'Command_Click is the tigger button to active the following code.
Private Sub Command37_Click()
'Below is an example of what I wanted to do field by field. However, in the real
'environment, I needed to move about 20 odd field into another object. I'm not sure
'to use Append or Update Query
Dim UpdateSQL As String
Dim text1 As String
Dim text2 As String
Dim text3 As String
'this loads the string containt-the Name of the object-into text1.
'this line works fine, arr.. other ones don't.......
text1 = Me!ReplaceMe
text2 = Me!LoadMe
'Load the month of the LoadMe.
text3 = Table![Table-users = text2].month
'Loads the SQL instruction into UpdateSQL
'Table-table is a table, containing several objects and fields.
UpdateSQL = "INSERT INTO [Table-users].text1( [Day], [year], [month] ) " & _
"SELECT Table-users.Day, Table-users.year, Table-users.month" & _
"FROM Table-users" & _
"WHERE (((Table-users.Name)='ReplaceMe'));"
DoCmd.RunSQL UpdateSQL
End Sub--------------------
Well the obvious, the above code doesn't run.
If LoadMe = Jeremy, ReplaceMe = Steven, the above code should return:
ID Name Year Month Date
1 Steven 1977 10 22
2 Jeremy 1977 10 22
Making Steve's Year, Month and Date field the same as jeremy
======================
What I think i'm confused about is when do I use [ ] ( ) ! .
Like... if I wanted to read the field value of "Date" from the object from the "Name" in combo box "LoadMe", what should I write?
ie, if the combo box "LoadMe" contains Eslynn. The end result should be 22.
Many thanks
This is my problem, i am new to asp and dreamweaver. Yet i have no knowlege source to refer on. all i have learned is through trial and error.
What i am trying to do is create a log for 15 dept. Each dept has their own log which is represented in the database as tables.
I want to make only 10 pages. not the 150 asp pages that i will have to do unless i can get any help.
What i want is that when someone logs in, based on a variable in their userdata that it will display the log from the correct table.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it. i have racked my brain for weeks...
I have a database with a number of tables 2 of which are:
# Personal Members Table (with all their details and addresses and contact details)
# Organisation Table (including who are members of this Org)
My conundrum is this; In the Org table I have just created a 'Treasurer' Field and want to choose a name from the Members Table so that I do not have to put the data in twice (which is what has happened in the past.)
I have linked the tables and but within the Members table the Field names for the Personal Name are as follows <FirstName> <LastName> and there is another for the <Org> they are connected with...
In the Members table it would also be good to have the ability to hover the mouse over the <org> field (or click) on it and then underneath a box appears with everyone who is a member of that org. I have seen this working on another database but cannot seem to replicate it here for some reason?
I have a set of maybe 5 template word docs which I populate with info form our database using bookmarks , the word docs are currently sat in a shared network drive.
I have started wonder if it would be better to store them in a table and call them from there to keep things together.
Is it possible to change the properties of a linked table from Number to Text and have this remain constant using VB code. If so, how can I do this?
View 1 Replies View Relatedis there is an easy way to create a table with defined field properties.
I have an excel file with over 300 column names and there field length.
I can import the name by transposing the list and then importing however the field length will have to manually edited which i don't fancy doing,
any ideas???
Field NameLength
BATCH NBR5
BATCH DATE8
BATCH CODE3
SUB PRODUCT3
FILE TYPE1
Is there a way to write the properties of a table out to a text file or excel sheet?
I'd like to be able to get the Field Name, Data Type, Field Size, and format for each field in my table.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm building a DB where I have multiple users. I would like to have all data in 1 table but only give access to records created by the individual user. Is this possible?
Alternatively, if each user has it's own table, how can I report on the sum of all tables.:confused:
Cheers,
Rene
Hi
I have a table that when imported from an external program (sage) has a number based property.
To achieve linkage with other tables, I have to manually change the field fom a number to text.
Is this possible to achieve programmatically.
Much appreciated on any advise.

I have a database created that imports data (stock levels) from a text file into a table and then email various suppliers with the current stock levels. The emails are all scheduled using scripts.
The weakest part of my set up is the text file, I am depending on someone remembering to run the report to create the text file, which cannot be automated.
I was thinking, if I could display the date the table was created in the report, I could add some disclaimer to make sure the created date equal report date. Is it possible to show the table properties date in a report?
Hi
I know this is probably a silly question but I had a number of checkboxes in a table and had set their default value to be 0 however I did not do this in the table properties of these fields.
I can understand some things like formatting dates in a form but storing it differently in the table but why did access not automatically input 0s in all the fields where I did not check the box?
Is there a way to gain access to the Field Properties using VBA?
I'm trying to loop thru the Tables in a database and find out the Fields that are indexed in each table.
I can loop through the table Defs to get each table name and a list of Fields but I can't seems to get to the Field Properties, namely "INDEXED".
I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice
I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.
Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.
If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?
Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice
CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values
The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.
I am making a new Record in the design view of a table (creating a new field in the table), and I am assigning it a date type, is there a hotkey that will select the field properties sheet so that I can select the format of the field without having to move my mouse?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to access a table in one Database (Database A) from a separate Database (Database B) and if so how. I should clarify that this is an Access Database.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a strange situation with a friends network
database is on laptop, the pc downstairs can open and access the db fine, but the pc next to it upstairs can see the db but gets an error on opening - of course they are using a german version of access so im not entirely sure of the error message but its basically "cant open the db on this intranet, copy it to your pc and then open it"
all pcs are running xp and the same version of access (2002)
the db is in the laptops shared docs folder
one pc can open it fine
the pc in question can open and edit a word doc (for example) in the same folder but not the mdb
i can map the drive on the pc as well
it seems more of a win xp file permission thing but the pc can open and edit a word doc ok
the only thing (seemingly) different with the 3 pcs is that the problem pc is in english and the other 2 in german (but why that would matter i dont know)
i'm supposed to be the pc guru but this has me stumped - any ideas ?
Hi there
I got a little problem here. I have a mdb that must be moved to another pc, but whenever I try to open it (on the other pcs) I get the message that I don't have permission to read.
When I try to change the permissions it says that I must be an administrator to do that, but I am the pc administrator, so I guess it must be the mdb's administrator.
Does anyone know how to change the permissions, or how to make me the program's administrator/proprietary?
Thanks for your time people!
I have copied a database that I used for another project for a new one. Everything is the same but when I try to use the command buttons on the form it give me "no record found" error, even though there are records in the database. I know that the Error message is the one that is writin in the database by the orginal designer, I can't quite figure out how to fix the problem I think that it has something to do with the VB coding in the comand button, becuase of the type error message that I am geting, but I don't know how to do it. I can't post the database becuase it is way to big. Everything else is working fine. What hte command button is supposed to do is update a total score percentage based off the numbers that placed in the database also any of the score can be left blank as to not count, max for each score is 5 min is zero, i.e.score1=3score2=5score3=5score4=score5=4score6=3Total Score =80.00%I hope that this makes sence.J
