Publisher Displaying Name.. Now Just Displays Numbers?
Apr 4, 2005
I have a list of publishers for software titles in a table.
1=Adobe
2=Macromedia
and so on and so forth.
I have a form that pulls the publisher name and displays it, and it used to display correctly with the NAME but now all of a sudden it's displaying the publisher number "1" instead of "Adobe"
I have a report that displays 3 different columns of numbers.. and when I try to do a total for any one of the columns the sum option is greyed out and I cannot total any of the columns at the bottom of the report. Everything I have read says I should be able to do that.
I have three fields in a database with phone numbers. They all appear to be set up the same. They all display the phone number format (xxx) xxx-xxxx when data is entered. One of them looks like a phone number in tables, forms and queries. The other two display as a 10 digit number.
I have inherited a diary system in access 2003 from our previous IT manager, it has a calendar which displays they days of the month and this works fine on most of the computers on the network. The problem I am having is that on a couple of the computers it does not display the numbers for the days but instead displays full stops!
Can anybody explain why and give a fix for this please? I'm guessing it may be something to do with OLE control options on that particular machine but haven't a clue where to start looking.
I have recently started learning to use Access and all is going very well except for the date. As can be seen from the images below I have set up my date function correctly in Control Panel and everywhere I use a date it is displayed correctly. In Access however numbers are added which I cannot figure where they are coming from and don't want them there. In the second image you can see what the various Format options look like. When long format is used in a Form or Report it displays those additional figure. I cannot get 2015 to display but get 15316 or similar instead.
Hi, I've got some id card templates in publisher than i want to merge in access. i can merge the text details into access but i dont know how to link the photos. should i store the file path of the image in the database or should i embed the file.
would this work with publisher or do i need to use some code?
any help on this would be appriciated as i have no experience with pictures in access.
In an access table I have hyperlinks to various documents mainly word docs. I have recently added a Publisher doc and when I H/L to it it will open the application but not the doco.
Obviously Publisher behaves differently than Word in this regard.
I do need the link to open the doc. Is there a way around this please?
I'm currently using the following to edit a publisher document using access VBA.
Code: For Each pubShape In pubDoc.Pages(1).Shapes If pubShape.HasTextFrame Then If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 440" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item1 If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 441" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item2 If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 442" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item3 If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 443" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item4 If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 444" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item5 If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 445" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item6 If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 446" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item7 If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 447" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item8 End If Next
Obviously there are a lot of shapes/boxes etc in the document and this code is very inefficient and takes a few moments to complete. Is there a way to directly reference a text box and change its value. For word I have been using bookmarks but this doesn't seem to work with publisher.
I'm looking for something like pubshape.Value("text Box 440") = Item1 but cannot find the correct syntax.
The code below allows me to open a publisher document that is already merged to the current record. What I need is to allow the user to open the document according to the group they are reviewing. How to accomplish this?
For example:
IF Group = A1 OR B1 THEN OPEN AB_1.pub IF Group = A2 OR B2 THEN OPEN AB_2.pub IF Group = A3 OR B3 THEN OPEN AB_3.pub
Dim pubApp As Publisher.Application Dim pubDoc As Publisher.Document Set pubApp = New Publisher.Application Set pubDoc = pubApp.Documents.Add.Application.Open("c:Publishe rAB_1.pub) pubDoc.ActiveWindow.Visible = True
I work in three different databases, but for one of them (the main company db), if I right clicked the pinned Access program on the taskbar and click the pinned database, it does nothing if someone else has the file open already. If the file isn't open, it'll pop up with an "Unknown publisher" warning (new, never happened before this), but it'll open the file. If someone has the database open, it doesn't flicker or even try, it just does nothing.
I am able to open Access and click on the database in the "Recent files" and have it open that way. I don't know what to troubleshoot, its like it's not seeing the file, but I can go to the properties on the pinned db and it shows the correct file location. I'm the only one having this issue, the other users here can right click the pinned program and open the file like normal.
I've rebooted my computer; unpinned and removed from list; compacted and repaired; nothing is making a difference.
I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:]) Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*") Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Does anyone know how you might build sliding bar displays as an input device for scores into an Access database? I am building an application that could really use something like this.
Here is an example. First go to the 'Chelsea tab', slide the bars, submit the results, and see the results on the "Results" tab
I have a form that contains 4 sub-forms. In two of the Sub-Forms "Users" and "Computers" the form displays the PK on the second row when there is NO Data? (See attached).
Does anybody know how I can stop this from displaying?
How can I Program a LABLE to appear (.visible = True) when a result is present!
Example: If RecivedDate.text >1 Then LABLE.visible = True
I have it as Not Visable on start up! I cant seem to get this to work =( Where can I place this CODE, so that it is executed every time the record is changed
Please help me put the finishing touches on a good Access DB Thank YOu
I have been designing a database and finally was making good headway. I have a junction table that references 2 tables (1-m) and the junction table creates an autonumber primary key that many tables will reference. I realized that the junction table could have duplicates. I did not want to use a composite primary key, but found that I could create an index that contained the unique combination of my foreign keys. No more duplicates. I thought things were looking up. I found out that it is a bad idea to use a combo box in dataset view to have look-ups to other tables. If it is a bad idea why have the option? It does make data entry easier. Anyway not my question. The other tables that refer to my junction table no longer show the values of the foreign keys, but displays an id number for my 2 columns.
I have a query that gets data from a table now not all fields are filled in, in this table, and the query only shows data that has all fields filled and i need it to show them all
I'm trying to use an Invoice number from an Invoice form to populate a table of Invoice Lines with relevant records (linking by Invoice number). I realise the following SQL code isn't an append query, but I've simplified it to make it easier to explain
SELECT [Forms]![fInvoices]![SPInvNumber] AS MTInvNumber, tInvoices.SPInvNumber FROM tInvoices WHERE (((tInvoices.SPInvNumber)=[Forms]![fInvoices]![SPInvNumber]));
The output I get for this query is something along the lines of:
MTINvNumber | SPInvNumber 쉠 | 49760
THe MTInvNumber should read the same as the SPInvNumber, but it doesn't. If you can't see the above, its some sort of weird chinese/japanese character I think!
I thought maybe it was a display error, but I tried using it in my append query, and it inserted it as garbage too. The weirdest bit is it actually regards the form information as equalling the SPINvNumber from the tInvoices table! :S
Any clues on how I get it to format correctly??? I'm very tired now so it's bound to be something simple!
Hello, please could anyone tell me if is it possible to have a combo box in a form that displays just the last 7 days? (from whatever today’s current day is) I need to be able to store this date that the user selects in a query/table(Currently I have a field named SHIFT_DATE that the user enters a date into this field, this field is bound/linked to a query)Ie a drop down list showing the dates like this:15/02/200614/02/200613/02/200612/02/2006& so on……ive used the following code in a query before to display records from just the last 7 days >=DateAdd("d",-7,Date())I thought maybe I could do something similar in a combo box but I’ve had no luck so far :-( any suggestions would be excellent. Thanks.
I have created a combo box on a form using the combo box wizard. The combo box is linked to a table, and the combo box user's selection is supposed to be entered into a table so I can use it in reports, etc. The form works great. However, when I go to the table field that is supposed to have the newly entered combo-box selection, it contains only the record number, not the field contents chosen (by-the-way ... the record number and the record ID are the same ... maybe it is showing the ID??) Either way, why won't the table show the correct user choice from the form?
Hello I have a small problem that seems weird. I have a form which displays a subform with all correspondending jobs for one individual. The problem is the sub form displays the main form information with the other jobs. Im trying to stop the subform from displaying the current mainform's job information. So it won't look like there are more then 1 of the same jobs to other individuals. Can someone help me with the correct method to stopping this. Thanking you in advance,
This has been working perfectly fine however the TotalPrice is no longer calculating the UnitPrice x Quantity and the TotalCost isnt calculating as nothing appears in the TotalPrice. However when we click the fields the data is diplayed but only on clicking, if we leave the record and go back its back to blank again.
I have a form, with a sub-form, which worked fine. but now, after I added and changed around the options in a combo box in the sub-form my main form only shows one result.
