I have a simple database. an articles table, authors table, categories table, not much else.
So one article can have many categories. To manage this, I have my 'articles' table (pk autonumber ID, plus other fields), a 'categories' table (pk autonumber ID, txt description), and I created a linking table 'article categories' autonumber ID, number articles (related to article ID in article table) and number categories (related to category ID in categories table)
Then I made a form for articles, with a subform for categories (taking the category field from the categories table).
1st problem - the category field in the subform appears as a text box, not a drop down list of category descriptions. I deleted it and added manually a combo box with the category field from the categories table as control source, telling it to store the value in the field 'category' in the 'article categories' linking table. This gives me the drop down list.
2nd problem - I select one category in the subform, when I try to select a second, it tells me "The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
I checked the fields in the 'article categories' table and they are not set to 'no duplicates'.
The strange thing seems that I can enter this ok in the table, just not the subform.
I know this problem has already been discussed here, but I could not find an answer to my case in the previous posts, so I apologise if this is repetitive.
I think this is simple but I am a novice...
I tried to attach the database to this - both normal and then zipped but it says 'invalid file' (it is only 1mb).
I have a database which displays one form as a subform of another form. Originally the subform was displayed in datasheet view, but now due to changes I am trying to make to the system I want to display this subform as continuous forms. Unfortunately in datasheet view, when a record of the main form has several records (ie enough to require scrolling down the list) in the subform I get errors when scrolling through these subform records.
The error message that access is displaying is "The Value you entered isn't valid for this field. eg you have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits."
I thought ok, maybe the subform design was duff (I am taking over a system designed by someone else) and so created a new subform, but the error still occurs with a totally fresh subform. The error occurs even when viewing the subform on its own. With a lot of records displayed on screen in the continous forms view I get numerous occurances of the abopve mentioned error message box and access eventually crashes. Yet in datasheet view everything is fine.
It's incredibly annoying as I can't fathom out what is causing the problem and how to fix it and to go about what I am doing in another way (ie without using continous forms) will mean scrapping a whole days work. I also don't like to do things a different way just because I can't get it to work the way I'd like to.
If anyone has some solutions to this problem I would be eternally grateful!
I built a form—frmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEvent, which contains various fields from tblEvent. The primary key field is called EventID.
I also build a subform—sfmDataEntry—whose Record Source is a query called qryEventImages, which contains various fields from tblItem. One of those fields is ItemEventLink, which links records from tblItem to the EventID field in tblEvent. There is also an image box in this subform: filling in the field ImageFile with an image name (example: Logo.jpg) causes that image to display in the image box.
I’ve inserted the subform into the form using the Subform Wizard. Now I’m getting an error message that says "2450: Microsoft Access cannot find the reference form ‘sfmDataEntry’." Why this is popping up. The Link Master Fields and Link Child Fields sections of the property sheet are filled in correctly. Moreover, the subform records are still appearing, but the images linked to each record aren’t loading.
Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following: 1) Shows all records 2) Requery 3) ApplyFilter. The Where Condition for the filter is: Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
I have the code below which is giving me grief as I have copied it from a previous usage and it worked fine. I have tried it in a beforeupdate and now as a seperate button on the form and it gives me the same error message; I have tried to put a save command in to save the record without any luck
the code is
If DCount("[Batch]", "tbl_Data_Wine_Batch", "[Batch]=" & Me.Batch) > 0 Then Cancel = True End If
The error message is Run time error 2001 you cancelled the previous operation.
The problem comes up in the dcount expression.
Any help would be great as it is an important part of the project and we can move on once we have overcome this
I have tbl_Proj, tbl_Notes, and tbl_Proj_City. They are all joined by the tbl_Proj's ID.I have a set list in tbl_City - tbl_Proj_City is 3 columns an ID for itself, tbl_City ID and tbl_Proj ID...In instances where a project covers more than one city, when I generate a report (or query) for that project I get each notes that number of times. If a project is in 3 cities I get each note 3 times.
I have a project entry form with a combobox subform for the city selection.The report is from a qry, by Proj_ID, I need to show the cities - the "key" city is the first alphabetically (also lowest via autonumber in City_ID). I would like to add that I do not know SQL. I have created this database using access commands.
I am thinking that I may be able to query the project ID for the Cities and somehow select the first alphabetically or the lowest in ID and store that somewhere? and then run a query that uses that and the notes to generate the report and then have a sub report for the other cities?
I have a Composite Index to prevent duplicates I get the error message. How can I trap this?
I resolved it with this PHP Code:
'Trap Error. Dim DataErr As Integer Dim Response As Integer Dim Message As String If DataErr = 3022 Then 'Duplicate value entered Response = acDataErrContinue End If
I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)
Hi can anyone help i keep clicking on a qry and it comes up with this message "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblSTSLimits.Max Short'. but Max Short is correct can anyone help
I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL
SELECT PqryExpiredPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Orig_Exp_Date, PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key, PqryNewPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Name FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?
I get the following error message when I open a form, but I cant see anything wrong:
Run Time Error '2447':
There is an invalid use of the . (dot) or ! operator or invalid parenttheses.
This is the code that causes the problem:
Private Sub Form_Activate() If Me.SumOfTotalGVS > 16 Then MsgBox "You have exceded the total amount of GVS on the CATT site" Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 255 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 65535 Else Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 16777215 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 0 End If End Sub
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this line of code please. Im trying to count the number of records on another form that is open. This is an On_Click command from another form.
Hello all, I have an access application. I imported a form to it with all related tables and queries and modules from another application. Unfortunetaly, it didn't work. It gives me this error message when openning the form: The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: User-defined type not defined.
i have a form that allows me to save mobile phone details.
The problem with this form is that if its incomplete and i click 'x' it shows me the validation message followed by an error message (which is attached with this thread).....
why is that? is there anyway i can exit the form (incomplete) without the valdation message or error message occuring???
Function Age(varBirthDate As Variant) As Integer Dim varAge As Variant
varAge = DateDiff("yyyy", varBirthDate, Now) If Date < DateSerial(Year(Now), Month(varBirthDate), _ Day(varBirthDate)) Then varAge = varAge - 1 End If Age = CInt(varAge) End Function
I get this error when I try to run a query. I have attached a screeen print of the problem. Every thing else works just fine it is the same query I copied it and just change one of the fields. the other query orks fine.
the below scrip was taken from another forum member.
i have put this in the Forms / error VBA
but i still a little lost
i have set 3 fields to be indexed not to allow duplicate information (Forename, Surename, DOB)
i was then advised to error trap so it would highlight that i have enterd a duplicate record on typing in the DOB (As that as third feild to be entered)
so i then used the below script, however this doesnt highlight that it is a duplicate it just doesnt let me go on to the next record, the only time the error message is highlighted is when i go into design mode.
anyideas on where to go from here.
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) If DataErr = 3022 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis MerID alredy exist!" Exit Sub End If If DataErr = 2169 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis record will not be saved!" Exit Sub End If
I have an Access project that when it starts, lets you pick a folder and a file to open as input (done with VBA code), and that works beautifully. My project then processes the opened file and that works fine also. However, when I run the project a second time, pick another file (with the same format), my project then dies on me. If I get completely out of my project and thenre-enter it, it runs fine. I've enclosed a screenshot of the error I'm getting.
Any help is greatly appreciated. And yes, I did a search on this and several other forums as well as on Microsoft's site and could not find anything related to the error I'm getting.
