I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:
Cardinal Rap - Main Menu
[button] Input Monthly data
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue, each with their own respective button
[button] Reports
This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available each with their own respective button
[button] Monthly reconciliations
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations each with their own respective button that open that table.
The tabs in the Navigation form don't seem to do anything.
Before anybody says anything about it, no, my MS Access is not corrupt, and I don't need to reinstall, or update or anything like that.
Now, to the problem...... I have a union query that in essence ties 4 tables together. The query works great! Here's the issue...... When I try to create a data access page using the wizard, I get an error msg saying wizard was unable to create data access page. If I try to create in design view, I cannot view the fields of my union query to add to the data page.
I am including 2 databases..... the first one, called "union" contains the union query that will not work to create a data access page..... the second one, which is very similiar on the union query, just not as detailed does work. It is called "joined"
The only difference in these two union queries, is that I tried to include times for db"union", whereas for db"joined", I only calculated hours. I can make a data access page using the union query in db"joined", but not the union query in db"union"
I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)
I have tried to create an MDE database and receive the message "Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database" I deleted all unnecessary tables, queries, forms and reports and still receive this message.
I am trying to create a database by compiling records from multiple excel sheets. however, since most of the clients still uses the excel sheets to enter records, I am thinking if it's possible to create a linked table in access from these excel sheets that are hosted on an online server.
also is it possible to merge multiple linked tables together? if they have the same field range, so they will append when the linked tables gets updated.
Is there any way of deactivating the main Menu Bar ("File","Edit","Insert","Format") when a form opens?
I need to implement this for a single form to stop an idiot user from trying to break the system! :mad: He's not doing it on purpose - he's just ignorant and doesn't listen or understand when I try to explain to him NOT to add a record by using the "Insert - new record" command, but to use the command button on the form which has some built in safety features (such as password protection).
I've managed to get rid of some of the other ones by using the coding below: Application.CommandBars("Form View").Enabled = False Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Form/Report)").Enabled = False Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Page)").Enabled = False
Hello all, i'm trying to create a database just now and i'm banging my head a little on the forms side of things.
Can anyone tell me how, or if its possible, to create a "Main Menu" form, that gives you options to say, add a record to a table, to delete a record etc.
I have recently created a small inventory database just for fun, but I am looking to expand my knowledge with Access since I have not dealt with it hardly at all. I would like to know how to create a regular main menu to the database that gives you options on what you want to do. I would like to be able to look up inventory by serial number, edit inventory, add inventory, and run reports from the main menu. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
I was able to create only 3 pages in access report. I am not able to go beyond 3 pages since the page footer is not moving down, means I am not able to drag it down.
It is a simple report of resume with only text boxes. My report comes around 10 pages.
I have a front end that I have distributed to four users. The front end sits on a shared drive and when I make design changes I just replace it and have the users copy it over to their desktops.
I set up a main menu for them to access the various forms, reports, etc. When I first open the front end on my desktop the main menu form is small and not taking up the entire screen. I put the cmd.maximize command in the on open event and still does not maximize the form when I open the database. I tried to size it and saved changes but still not working.
I just did a share session with a user and she opened the form and it was maximized on her desktop.
Currently I have a basic database with the following
Table 1 = "EmployeeT" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc. Table 2 = "NewLabReportT" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 1 = "MainMenuF" this is where I would like to have the search Form 2 = "NewLabReportF" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract" Form 3 = "EmployeeF" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Problem:I would like to have on the Main Menu a drop down list with all of the fields described in NewLaBReportF ("Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract") and then allow the user to click a button to the side of it to alert a pop up.
In this pop up:
If they originally clicked "Report_Id" then have the message prompt then to "Enter a Report ID" If they originally clicked "Submitted_By" then have the message prompt them to "Enter an employees Last Name" etc...
Further More, after they enter the respective value in this box, have a FORM not a REPORT generate that lists all of the records that match the criteria. This way then can specifically click on each record individually and have it open directly up to it.
I have a table called exiting staff data and a field called Follow up required. I want to count the number of Yes entries and display it on the main menu. Have tried
Code: =Count([Exiting Staff Data].[Follow up required]="Yes")
I'm using form with subform. Main form header contain a combobox. I need to check the combobox is null or not before update a subform filed. If combobox is null then its back to Main form combobox from subform. The code below that I'm trying to:
Code: Private Sub AssignTo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Forms!frmDepartmentReview!cboDepartment) Then MsgBox "You must select Department first", vbInformation Forms![frmDepartmentReview]![cboDepartment].SetFocus End If End Sub
Then I'm getting 2110 run time error
Access can't move the focus to the control cboDepartment.
I have fields on the main menu where folks put in a start and end date prior to running a report. I'm doing a monthly report that pulls current month, and two prior months of data. For example, the user selects a date range of 10/1/14 to 10/31/14 the report will show August, September and October results.
I need the column headings to change each month depending on the date range they select to run the report so in November they will pull 11/1/14 to 11/30/14 and get September, October and November.
The headings for the columns would then adjust.
I put an unbound text box with the formula as follows in the control source of the report page header to pull the month that is equal to the current month minus two (I'm just showing one of the column headings formula):
I have been trying to figure out how to make a main menu that link to certain tables I have. I want the links to go to the tables/forms so that they can be edited, but I don't want the user to be able to enter design view. I have attached an image of what I want to have below.
I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.
I have created access2K application with 4 clients (forms+query+macro+reports) residing on workstations and database on server. I have created MDE of 3 frontends but unable to do so on one computer. When I goto Tools->Database Utilities->Make MDE File... (Disabled) Its disabled I cannot continue so no error message. Any idea? Prodigy
I'm trying to search a for string within a subform to find information stored on the mainform to which the particular subform belongs.
The problem is that the subform is generated from a query which uses a number from the main form to generate.
So the subform record is only generated when the correct mainform record associated with it is loaded.
Now to solve my problem I've made a new query that brings up ALL the results that could be generated by the main form and from that I can search to find my search term I'm after and read off the ID number to tie it back to the mainform.
But all of this is done manually, I want a way to do all this using VBA in a way that the user can't edit any records as they are doing it.
I have a 2 paged Form. frmCustomer (page1) and frmCustomerOrderHistorySub1 and frmCustomerOrderHistorySub2 (Page 2)
On customers form I have a command 'Customer Orders'. When clicked focus is set to 'Page 2'. Page 2 should (and does) display ALL orders placed by the Customer currently being viewed on Page 1.
Problem: frmCustomerOrderHistorySub2 ONLY displays the details for the first order?
If you select the second order then the order details do not update?
I hope the attcahed DB will explain all?
I have spent a good few hours on this. Happy I got most of it to work unaided, could do with a nudge on this final issue.
I am running access 2000 9.0.2720. I wanted to create an MDE file but every time I attempt I get the message 'unable to create an MDE file'. Any advice?
I was able to create a MDE database from .MDB file (1900 KB) using Access2000 but not on the other database (5000 KB) I followed the steps (under tool -database utilities- make MDE file), the message box shown " Microsoft Access was unable to create a MDE database"
Is there any limit on the size of the file? What should i do or check?
When I click the Create MDE button I get the error message You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'MySysAccessStorage'.
I am a user who has been making some improvements to our database. Now that I want to test the improvements I need to create an mde, but can't.
The database was created in Access 2003 and I am now using Access 2007 on windows 2010. The original developer advised that we continue to use mde format - something to do with the runtime version everyone else who uses the database have.what I need to do to convert my mdb to an mde?
