I have a subform on my main form which I can access properties etc without error, but when I try to set the sourceobject property I get an error saying it can find the object '~sq_cfrmAction~sq_csubPlanetItems'
so, I have created a working SQL statement that summarises data from a bunch of different tables (it's a stock monitoring application so it all has to do with levels of stock, numbers of parts processed etc...):
SELECT tblPPIn.BatchID, tblPartDescriptions.DrawingNumber AS [Drawing Number], tblOrder.IssueNumber AS [Issue Number], tblPartDescriptions.Description AS [Description], tblPPIn.Qty AS [Total Booked In], IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyProcessed) AS SumOfQtyProcessed FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyProcessed) AS SumOfQtyProcessed FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)) AS [Total Qty Processed], IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutPass FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'PASS';)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutPass FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'PASS';)) AS [Total Good Parts Taken], IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutUninspected FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'UNINSPECTED';)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutUninspected FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'UNINSPECTED';)) AS [Total Uninspected Parts Taken], IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyPass) AS SumOfQtyPass FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyPass) AS SumOfQtyPass FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)) AS [Total Passes], IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailEtching) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailCutOut) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailFlatness) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailHandling) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailOther) AS SumofFails FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)),'0',((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailEtching) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailCutOut) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailFlatness) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailHandling) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailOther) AS SumofFails FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;))) AS [Total Fails], [Total Booked In]-[Total Qty Processed]-[Total Uninspected Parts Taken] AS [Total Unprocessed Parts Remaining], [Total Passes]-[Total Good Parts Taken] AS [Total Good Parts Remaining], [Total Passes]/[Total Qty Processed] AS [Overall Yield] FROM tblPPIn INNER JOIN (tblPartDescriptions INNER JOIN tblOrder ON tblPartDescriptions.DrawingNumber = tblOrder.DrawingNumber) ON tblPPIn.BatchID = tblOrder.BatchID ORDER BY tblPPIn.BatchID ASC;
don't worry about the details, it works as it is above...
now I only want to display data for batches where there are some parts left, so I've tried adding the following WHERE clause:
WHERE ([Total Good Parts Remaining] + [Total Unprocessed Parts Remaining]) <> 0
should work fine, right? nope, we get the (all too familiar) 'Enter parameter value: Total Good Parts Remaining' (and the same for 'Total Unprocessed Parts Remaining'), despite the fact I have used these aliases in the previous SQL with no problem...
Is there any way around this or do I have to create a big-ass WHERE statement complete with the subqueries I've already used previously?
This is seriously annoying me today... any help would be massively appreciated!
Hello! I have a problem regarding using usernames and passwords to restrict access to certain tables/forms/reports etc.... I have read around the forum and various other websites but cant seem to get much relating to exactly what i am wanting to do.
I think i understand the way the access workgroup security works. But does this not just restrict users being able to view the database as read-only or with other certain rights like that? So, firstly would i be able to use this to restrict the database the way i want?
Or is there a way to create a table with names and passwords and create a form at the beginning where the user inputs their details and then according to the details gives/restricts access to parts of the database? Ideally i'd like the startup form to direct them to a different menu according to the user which gives them only the options they are allowed?
Seems a bit of a mouthfull and i sound like a complete newb but i been trying to figure this out all day!! Thanks
Hi all, I have been using Excel data in Access either by importing the sheet as a table or directly linking to the sheet with no problems in the past but today I cannot seem to get the data to import in the right way.
The column on the Excel sheet is mainly populated by numbers but some of the values have letters in them. When I discovered this I formatted the column as text and tried to directly link to the sheet but the datatype kept insisting it is number. I then decided to import the sheet as a table and although it comes in as Text instead of seeing the value A1030573 in comes in as 7.1e+009 and this goes for the values that are purely numbers.
Is this a known bug, does anyone have a solution to to this ?
Here's a weird problem I've had develop in the past couple months, before I upgraded to 2007, and now since I upgraded to 2007.
I've had the same Access database since 1997, and just recently upgraded it to Access2007, but as I said the problem occurred before and after the changeover.
I have two servers at the office. Server #1 (where the database is located) has attached to it is a dot matrix printer, used for printing our 4 part invoices/packing lists. I have another server (#2) which has a laser printer attached to it. The laser printer on server #2 is the default printer for all computers in the office. I have a lot of reports in Access where the printer to be used is the default printer. I have a single report in Access where I specified in the page design and layout to use a specific printer - the dot matrix on server #1.
Both servers are always on. Both printers are always on. I can go for weeks and weeks with no issues in printing the invoices. Then suddenly I'll get a
"This document was previously formatted for the printer (printer name) on (server #1), but that printer isn't available. Do you want use the default printer (\server#2laser printer) ? OK CANCEL SETUP... HELP
It worked fine for 9+ years, and now I am getting this error. No new computers in the last 2 years. No new printer installs in the last 2 years.
I've gone through, uninstalled the printer, reinstalled the printer, both on the server and remote machines, and now I can't even get the report to "remember" that I want it to always print to the dot printer.
I have several FE's each saving in their own BE. They are all the same but for different areas of our business. Each has around 20-30 users. I recently introduced another form into the FE that has linked tables to another different BE in another folder. Each FE out there with its own BE now has this form and all of the new forms save to the same (one) BE. Ok, got it?
Now, sure its possible to have them all together and I would anticipate someone suggesting this. Its split up to keep sizes down and performance up among other reasons.
In any event, here I am. All of the new form introductions went smoothly without a hitch. The last one however is causing trouble. On submit an e-mail is sent, the user is asked if they want to submit another form, and if yes a new record is created. If no the form is closed.
E-mails are always sent, no problem. The trouble is saving the record. All except one of the different FE's I have out there in different folders save the record into the table just fine. There is one though that does not do this. The mail is sent and the program behaves normally with no errors but the record is not saved. This does not happen to all users of this FE either. There are some users that work fine and the record is saved in the BE yet other users do not save the record. You can see the .ldb appear and disappear. Our IT dept has been through the permissions time and time again and tell me they are ok. The FE and main BE are in one folder while the BE that the new form talks to is in its own folder. Remember, this works fine for several other instances, its just the one that doesn’t save the record.
I did have a chance to see the permissions the other day and it seems a mess to me. They have users in individually, as they were set up initially and the same users are also in there in a group and maybe 2 groups. The permissions look a mess to me… they really do…. but that doesn’t necessarily mean they would not work and can be blamed. I have no control over this part and it drives me nuts!
What I have done...... copied a working FE from another area into the troubled folder. No good. I have removed the new form along with its linked tables and the record is saved. Put the form and linked tables back in and it stops saving again. The code compiles just fine. I have done compact and repairs.
Any thoughts or ideas out there??? If you need more info ask. I understand what I wrote but you might not LOL
I'm sure you've all seen this before - but, it's killing me. It's for a university project which is being demonstrated soon, and I can't get it working consistently!
When pages are loaded, I get the error -
Provider Error - 80004005, Unspecified Error /db/update_select.asp line 33 (line 33 is the connection to the database)
or
Internal Server Error 500 - Page cannot be displayed
And sometimes I get one about "Jet" "Threads", and ODBC stuff.
I'm guessing it's a driver problem, but I have no idea where to go from here! I'm running Windows 2000 Adv. Server, IIS 4 (I think) and my db is access 97 :O (I would have put a newer version on, but the CD-Rom is so old on the PC it won't take 700MB CDs! Argh.)
I have a pretty standard relationship set up, with the following tables:
Customers: A row/Cust ID for each customer WorkOrders: each customer can have multiple work orders (linked to Customers by CustID, individual ID is WOID) Jobs: each work order can have multiple job records attached (linked to WorkOrders by WOID, individual ID is JobID).
As far as I can tell, they're fine and all other forms etc work, updating no problem, referrential identity is enforced etc...
Problems: When I go to make a "job allocation" query for subsequent form, I select: Customers, Work Orders and Jobs table (I then filter by location, but this problem remains unfiltered also). They link up fine. The query isn't nonsensical either - it lets me add new data. BUT instead of showing all the customers and work orders for the location due for the location, it will ONLY display the records that have details in the Jobs table (the lowest in the relationship chain). Basically, If the jobs sections are empty or "unattempted", then NO details AT ALL will show up in the query. Which is a problem, because I want to see ALL the "unattempted" jobs in the area to allocate them, including customer data and work order numbers. I also need to have the jobs table present, so I can allocate a job date, a contractor etc.
I'm not sure what to do. As far as I can see, the set up I have IS very standard tables/relationships-wise. I have to work it out, otherwise I'm going to have to revert to some kind of 'super-table' (like in our old system) - which I am at loathe to do - I don't want to merge Work Orders and Jobs because that means a lot more typing for me.
Would cascade update in the relationships do anything? (it is checked).
I've been away from Access for awhile and I'm just drawing a blank on this one. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
So, basically my database has quite a number of lookup fields in tables as there is much repeated data, each one references to a seperate table with an autonumber field (ID) and a text field (Value)
Currently I have column one (ID) as the bound column in such cases, as this is what the guy who started me on access said to do, and it's fine until I try and export any query with such a field to Excel.
I have found, through experimentation, that setting the 2nd column (Value) as the bound column allows me to export the values rather than numbers, but I don't know if this is a sensible thing to do? (ie, I don't know what other unexpected effects this might have)
Any guidance here would be very welcome, thanks, Bogzla
I've attached my db in the hope someone can help my head scratching.
I have got a Sales summary table with several other related table. Most notably, a table with the items in the sale and one with the costs. Because each sale might contain many different items and many different costs, I thought seperate tables were the way to go.
All I'm trying to do is make another query that gets the total sales (That's adding each line item * quantity) - (Each cost line item*it's quantity) and then finally the margin made on the deal.
However, if there are no costs or sales involved in the sale the query ignores it. (Sounds odd, but some transactions might be cost free, and some may not involve any revenue - so I have to bear it in mind).
I tried the Nz function, but It's either not what I need or I'm doing it wrong.
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I am trying to create a user form with sub form using the form wizard. I have only 2 tables, Employee (main table) and Vacation (subform table). I pick the fields from Employee Table then fields fro Vacation, but the wizard treat the Vacation as main form and Employee as sub form.
I have a fault form which the user enters details of a fault. When the fault form is submitted the data is saved in the relevant table and the form is cleared so that the user can enter the next fault. On the fault form i have a subform which displays the faults previously entered by the user. I want the user to be able to click on an entry in the subform and open the orignal fault form and see the data that had been entered. How can i create this functionality??
how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.
I have a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?
I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant Restaurant name Address line 1 Address line 2 Restaurant # Website
Table:StaffContact Staff Role Name speciality email phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
Can I look up and verify data on a "second" form based on a selected record from first (still open) form.
I am trying to allow users to select a User Name from a combo box list and then open "Change Password" form when they select "Change Password" for that selected user name.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to associate and verify the data tied to the user name selected on the previous (Login) form ( I am trying to validate the old password tied to that selected record).
I have the first login form created, and it's working just fine. I also have the change password form created (and it's displaying the user name selected from the first form using:
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() With Forms![frmLogin]![cboUserName] Me.txtPwdChgUserID = .Column(2, .ListIndex) End With EndSub
I also have the code written to validate and confirm old password, new password and validate new password (when the save button is clicked). I have yet to update the password with the new password (still trying to figure that out).
Attached zip file has screen shots of the two forms.
When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus. End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.
