Typed Data Value Not Recognized
Oct 19, 2006
I'm experiencing an interesting problem with a database I have been working on. For some reason, when I tried to enforce referential integrity between two fields, whose values should have matched perfectly, I got an error that I couldn't because they didn't match. When I ran an unmatched query, I found that the numbers DID match, but for some reason Access wasn't recognizing it. Even when I type the values into the field to "correct" it, it doesn't recognize it; I have to copy and paste from the master table into the child table in order for the values to be recognized as matching.
The same thing happens when I try to filter or query the table; if I type the value, it says no records are found, when I copy and paste, or select from the combo box, it works.
ANY IDEAS?? this is really weird and it's happening on multiple computers so it's not just one system. And, this has never happened before with this file or any other that I've worked on...

I'm trying to figure out a way to get my access database to auto-populate data into a field based on the information I type into the first record.
So what I'm looking to do is that when I type a name into the UserName Field it will automatically fill in the rest of the field with the same information.
To clarify I'm looking for a way so that when I type something into one record it will fill the rest of the field in with that same information.

I have a form, very basic.. it contains more or less an inventory frontend in which users input computer equipment that we carry in our state dept.
To make this very brief, in my form at the end I have an "Additonal Information" textbox in which users can add additional notes, comments, etc.
As textboxes are constrained to 255 characters, I chose to show an additional textbox directly below the Additional Information textbox, with a control source set to =Len([Additional_Information]) to show users how many characters they have typed.
What I'd like to do though, is make this value dynamically update while the Additional Information textbox is still in focus... so far, all I can get it to do is update once a user has tabbed away from the additional information textbox.
Is there a way to make this update in real-time?
I appreciate any feedback at all.. thanks :)

I have a form based on a table called checkwriter. Right now it is comprised of multiple dropdowns that work great but now I need a textbox where the user can type in a few characters and have the form display the results which match the first few characters from the field "memo" from the checkwriter table. Im so a newbie to this and not sure whether I need 2 write a seperate query for this or write a simple procedure for that text box. Any help to get me started would be greatly appreciated.

About three weeks ago, my work computer crash hardcore. Windows (2000 ver) had many corrupt files in the Windows Directory and in the Registry. Because of that, IT gave me an up to date computer running Widows XP. I am still running the same version of Office (2003 Pro).
I think because I have a new machine and a different platform, I am now have issues with trying to administer the permission rights. MS Access is not recognizing me as Admin and/or Creator of the db, therefore I am not able to modify permission rights....... :eek:
Does anyone know how make this db recognize that I am the Creator of it?
Thank you in advance for your help.:cool:

Hey guys,
I am getting this error "This expression is typed incorrectly, or is too complex to be evaluated"
For this query:
SELECT first([TblProp].[Name]) AS [SName], First([TblProp].[CommentDate]) AS DateCommented, First([TblProp].[No]) AS BNum, First([TblProp].[Indication]) AS Ind, First([TblProp].[PropSubmitted]) AS DateSub, First([TblProp].[Contact]) AS PrimCon, First([TblProp].[Prepared]) AS PrepName, First([TblProp].[Comment]) AS Comment,First([TblProp].[Value]) AS ValueNew, First([TblProp].[Rating]) AS Prob
FROM TblProp
GROUP BY [TblProp].[RFPNo];
This query had been working fine for a good long time, but suddenly it starts throwing up this message. I haven't changed anything at all with this query. Its very puzzling. I went through each of the fields and its the comment field that is causing the problem.
Would anyone have any ideas on why this might be happening?
Thanks for reading this!

Access 2010 leaves the last name that a user typed in after he has done and update. All of the other fields on the form are blanked except the dropdown box . This seems to confuse my users and they would prefer that the last name is blanked out after an update like all of the other fields. I told them that it is a reminder to them of the last person they updated.
The drop down box has a list of all the clients in the database and the user selects which one they want.

I have a replica database in Access 2000.
I changed a form in the design master that had nothing to do with the date or a date field. Everything appeared fine.
Now I updated the replicas, and an error is happening on all replicas as well as the design master. Any reference to Date() or Now() causes errors.
If it's a field on a form it has an #Name error. If Date() or Now() is on a report, a popup to enter parameters appear for the date. This database with these codes have been working for years.
Is it safe to say it's no longer recognizing Date() or Now() ?
Any ideas on a fix?

Hi !
I use access 2000 (french) and runtime access 2000 (english) on XP.
After upgrading workstations with last microsoft security patchs, the use of left, mid or right functions in queries doesn't work anymore.
We know now that the patch acted on MDAC, is it the answer?
I don't know how to make it work.
If you have any idea, it would be great.

I am using this formula to format my date field
Convert this:A601030730 to 03-Jan-06
A6 = Year
01 = Month
03 = Day
0730 = Time (not worried about that part)
ApptDate: IIf([abap_030] Is Null,"",Format(DateSerial(Val(Mid(Left([abap_030],6),2,1)),Val(Mid(Left([abap_030],6),3,2)),Val(Right(Left([abap_030],6),2))),"dd-mmm-yy"))
I get the date to "Look" the way I want, but Access does not seem to recognize the formatting as it will not sort properly?
Any suggestion would be welcome, thanks

I have a form with a query set up as the record source. If there are records in this query, the form will display. When the user clicks a button, if there is another record in this query, the form displays the next record. When it gets to the EOF, it should close this form, but EOF is not being recognized (I run debug and it says it's false when the button is clicked)? I get run-time error '3201' after I click the button twice.
I know for a fact that there are 2 records in this query. So once I click the button on the 2nd record, the form should close.
Code:
Private Sub SelectTblMyMedButton_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qryMedDataSelect", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] .....

to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."
I did a search and it looks like date prompts cause this error sometimes. The message pops up when running from the Switchboard to generate a report. When you hit the button, you are prompted for the Start Date and End Date, but then this message appears.
Running the query directly, not using the Switchboard or Report to generate the data, it runs fine, still using the two prompts.
Any idea on what I should look at to resolve this issue so users can run the report from the switchboard? Let me know if I need to post the sql or something.
Thanks for all replies.

I've got an access form, and all I want to do, is to be able to type a number into a text box, click a button and then for the record containing that number to be displayed (in that same form).
-And I dunno where to start.
I don't like using the navigation bar, although that is almost what I'm after.Also, search functions I've seen on here that use combo box lists to display results seem like too much for me, as each number typed into my search box will be unique.

I have a database that is used to generate quotations. I have a form that I want to use to Re-Quote something. By Re-Quote, I mean I want the employee to be able to go in and search for the Part desired for Re-Quoting and create a new quotation with all of the information from that part and have the ability to change any of the information as needed. The Form is unbound, and has tab control with three tabs. I would like to search by three different categories "QuotationNumber", "Customer", Or "PartNumber". How do I have the combobox filter the list box below based on what is being typed in the combobox?

I have a subform containing maintenance logs for pieces of equipment, viewed as a Datasheet.
I have a field called Comment accepting text. Since comments are similar, it would be nice to have a drop down list so the user can select what was previously typed in other records and then edit it from there, similar to how Google or search engines in its search text box generates as part of its suggestion list the previous searches after typing in the first few matching characters.
I tried looking through, but is there a property that does this?

I have a query that I referenced it to a combo box in a form. In my form I created a combo box which has a list of VendorName and I want my query to opens a VendorName report based on whatever chooses in the combo box so that I use the combo box name in the criteria of the VendorName in my query. Somehow I get an error which says "The Microsoft Office Access database does not organize "[Forms]![Form1]![Vendor_Name]" as a valid field name or expression".

I'm using Access 2003 with a frontend/backend database on a network. Several of our forms have image controls with links to a folder of JPG images, and these have worked fine for months. I have followed the recommended linking method described here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=92837&highlight=jpg+link) and as I mentioned everything has worked fine until recently. Foolish me decided to try out Office 2007 beta for a few days but uninstalled it after a few days. Now, on my computer only back on Access 2003, whenever I try to open one of the forms that previously worked I get an error message saying "Access does not support the format of the file '....jpg. Try converting the file to BMP or GIF format". Copies of the same frontend works fine on other work stations, and I can open jpgs in Word and Excel. Or, to be even more frustrating, an embedded jpg will show up fine in my copy of the program - it's only linked jpgs that are rejected. I first repaired Office 2003, then completed unintalled and reinstalled it - same error message. 2 hours with MS tech support has been likewise futile. I'm guessing it has to be some kind of registry error, but nothing I seem to do makes a difference. Any suggestions at all will be greatly appreciated, because my next step is a complete format and clean install of everything.

Hi,
I'm Italian and I started playing (I don't work on it) with access to create an Airline Simulator for MS Flight Simulator. My "program" read data imported in an Access table by a secondary program, and work on it. :cool:
One or Two of my Beta testers found this problems:
1) function "date()" is not recognized in Access 2003 and 2007. in 2003 is read as "date"; in access 2007 is read "date(". The one with Access 2007 resolved the problem reinstalling the Office Suite 3 times. The third was working. nothing else changed. :mad:
2) Access request the OFFOWC.DLL, in an Access2003 version. But only one user... and that .dll is from Access 2007!! :confused:
I wrote the database in Access 2007 and in Access 2003, the file is obviosly Access 2003 format.
I attach it here, for someone that wanna try if he has the same problem. PS due to size of the file, it's a zip containing a .rar file, that contains the .mdb (zip only was 660 Kb)
Do you have some indications!? Thanks a LOT!! :)
Lorenzo.

Access 2010. I have a query that I referenced it to a combo box in a form.
If I rename the combo box, save it, and then rename it back to the same name it works fine for a while and then stops working again.

I use the following code to achieve following
a) Open a word document from MS access / VBA,
b) Connect to data from a query
c) mailmerge it
d) Save it as a new document containing mailemerged letters.
The code does open the required document as I can see it open.
I put a message box to recheck that filename/path is what I mean, and to to know till which line the code runs. Code runs till that point and that word doc is seen open. I get the error message before
Then I get error message.
I was fooling around and was getting message " This command is not available because no document is open" I tried to remove few lines thinking redundancy. Before getting the message, I was also getting the error trapping message "No documents opened."
Now I am getting different message.
I am getting message " The remote Server Machine does not Exist or is unavailable"
Following is the code I have written.
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("word.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
fn = FormPathName("941 2014 AutoOpen.doc")

I maintain a grade book application that uses many queries whose results are determined by "school year". Most of these are reports and I have a combo box on the Print form for that allows the user to select the school year. The criteria field of the several queries derived by school year is:
[Forms]![Main Navigation]![Print Form]![SchoolYear]
SchoolYear being the combo box control.
They work fine.
I have now added a function to export data to Excel. This is done in a VBA module and I am using a query to select data for the record set I use to write to Excel:
Set objRst = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strQueryName)
When I hard code the school year in the query criteria field (i.e. "2012-2013") the process works fine, but if I revert the query to point to the print form field as above, I get an empty recordset.
The Excel export is executed from a control on the Print Form, so the form is open and the combo has data showing, just as it is when a report is run whose data is derived from a query.
When I execute the query from the VBA module, the query is not getting the school year selected on the Print form passed to it properly.

Hi everyone,
I am using Access 2007 and I have a database with 2 tables. The original table has a primary key field designated. I have a relationship between that table and a second table and that relationship has "enforce referential integrity" checked.
In the secondary table the field that the relationship is bound to is not a primary key but has the same field properties.
I created a new record in the original table and created the primary key of "T-124". When I attempted to add the same data to the field in the second table, I recieved the following error message: "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required" in the other table.
I did create the record in the other table:eek:
Can anybody help????:(
