An application that I made was created in Access 2000 as I was told that all users had at least this or newer. Of course a user with 97 popped up. Instead of having them purchase 2000 or newer I converted my app to 97 version. I expected troubles with references. So far this has only been a phone conversation and I plan on going there later today. The user says hitting alt/F11 does nothing... no code window comes up. I had her look through the menus for the code window but she says there is nothing there. She is getting runtime 3433 (she thinks) and unrecognized database format when trying to open a form. The database did open when holding the shift key though.
Before I go there, how do I open the code window for 97?
Any other suggestions? I bet this is a reference thing but there may be a problem with their access install too. There are 2 users at this location with the same issues... at least it sounds like it.
on my laptop, i have an access front end with tables linking to sql server personal edition.
i open a linked table, edit a field, and i get a write conflict error message 'this record has been changed by another user since you edited it', and the save record button is not enabled
i have many linked tables, but this is the only table that gives me this error. i have deleted the table in sql server, and made a new table, and started the link process again, but still the write conflict.
also, as i dont know if this is related.
when i get tothe screen to link the tables, i see 2 table names prefixed with a "~", however, when i go into sql server, i cannot see any tables prefixed with a "~"
any responses would be most appreciative, as my project has effectively stopped until i can resolve this.
I am keep on getting Write Conflict whenever I check a check box called chkHCE. There are over 3000 records and it's happening for every records. I would understand if it's happening once in a while but it's happening for every records.
Please suggest. I attached the error print shot. The data souce is a qry but updatable query. The query has two tables tie together. I never had any problems. Can anyone share their idea Please ???
Thanks
Code behind the chkHCE
Private Sub chkHCE_Click() If Me.chkHCE.Value = True Then Me.HCEInitialPrepared.Enabled = True Me.HCECompletionDate.Enabled = True Me.HCEType.Enabled = True Else Me.HCEInitialPrepared.Enabled = False Me.HCECompletionDate.Enabled = False Me.HCEType.Enabled = False End If
I am using an unbound form (based on VBAUnbound.zip) to enter records into a table. following is an excerpt of the code: Code:.AddNew .Fields("Catalogue_Code") = Me.txb_ip_cataloguecode .Fields("Base_Metal") = Me.cmb_ip_basemetal .Fields("Paint_Type") = Me.cmb_ip_painttype .Fields("Color_Family") = Me.cmb_ip_colorfamily .Fields("Metallic") = Me.cbx_ip_metallic In the form, for all fields left blank, the code above places a NULL in the table.
I also have a form to search the same database which uses a following kind of SQL string: Code:SELECT M_Paint.* FROM M_Paint WHERE M_Paint.[Base_metal] Like '*' AND M_Paint.[Paint_Type] Like '*' AND M_Paint.[Color_Family] Like '*' AND M_Paint.[Metallic] Like '*'; This search does not pick records with any fields with NULL if looking for 'Like '*''... which is obvious.
I have tried replacing NULL with ' "" ' and then the query works but I have to manually do this replacement. I have tried putting ' "" ' as the default value of all the combo boxes to see if that changes anything but have had no luck.
My options are: - Modify my SQL string to include NULL in the search - Make sure that a zero length string is added to the fields by default when no value is specified - Anything else that I cannot think of
I will deeply appreciate help for any of the three options... I am out of clues! Thanks a lot
I've created a query that resets a table entry called "Drum" to null if I change the record "Cable". This process works, except I get the following error when I do so:
" Write Conflict
This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes.
[Save Record] [Copy to Clipboard] [Drop Changes] "
I have set warnings to false but this still comes up.
Does this mean something is wrong with my method of updating the table? If not, is there any way I can stop the warning coming up?
We have multiple users using the same database as local copies on each of their PC's. they are entering information in specifically assigned areas and no one is overlapping in their work areas. The users then synchronize to a master database that is on the network to transfer their info.
When synchronizing we are beginning to conflict errors, and the message is hard to decipher. Below is an example:
"Update/Delete conflict: Another replica also updated this record. This record lost the conflict. Either resubmit your update or delete the conflict record."
It then shows two columns. Column 1 has the option to "Keep exisiting data" an dcolumn two has the option to "Override with conflicting data".
Technically, when synchronization happens, data of the user who is synchronizing overrides existing data in the master database in the same record(s). In that spirit, what is the 'existing' and 'conflicting' data referred to in the message?
I am working with a linked table that has a field [Originated Date]
I have created a query for this table and on the criteria for [Originated Date] I put the following:
Between [Forms]![Date Input]![StartDate] and [Forms]![Date Input]![EndDate]
I am using a pop up calendar to populate [StartDate] and [EndDate] fields on the form.
The format of the Date field in the linked table is "Text" not sure if this is the root of my problem ?
When I run the Query Manually and input the [StartDate] as yyyy/mm/dd and the [EndDate] as yyyy/mm/dd the query returns the desired results; However when I run the query with from the form It does not return the desired results.
It is driving me crazy not sure where the discrepency is ?
I searched this one and found that someone else had posted the same problem 2 years ago, but since no one replied to that one... I'm still stumped.
I have a set of subforms, each on a separate tab of the main form and pulling from the same table. I have code triggered on after update so that changes to a control on subform A will make changes to several controls on subform B (specifically, disabling the control and deleting any value). When I switch to subform B, I get a message saying:
"Write Conflict: this record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. Save record, copy to clipboard, drop changes"
I implemented this in the Northwind database and everything was fine. I implemented this in my database (which is very similar to the northwind in structure!) and receive this error:
"WRITE CONFLICT This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes."
I have no idea how this is happening. Can anyone throw some light on this? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
When I add something that is not current in the recordsource for the combo I still get the msg box: "is not on the list, Do you want to add it? click yes or no. I click yes and then I now get this error: "The text you entered isn't an item in the list. Select an item from the list or enter text that matches one of the listed items"
As I said earlier the NotOnListEvent worked just great until I added the AfterUpdate Event. Any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance
The Source Table is updating but the Table the Form populates is not updating.
Please help. This is driving me crazy. and thanks!
I have created a form which updates the values in a table when the submit button is clicked. I get the following error when I do this:
" Write Conflict
This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes.

I have set warnings to false but this still comes up.
Does this mean something is wrong with my method of updating the table? If not, is there any way I can stop the warning coming up?
I'm currently running a replicated database in Access 2003 (plan on migrating to 2010; but have several users on 2003). I guess I pushed the number a fields within a table to be close to the 255 max and of course had a conflict in that table which put me over the top. Now if I receive the following error: "Cannot add a new column to conflict table 'Table_conflict'. Delete obsolete columns and compat the database."Since this will occur with all of my replicas is there a way do either automatically clear the data in the 'Table_conflict' or remove the table?
If, on the startup form of the attached mdb, you type anything in any of the text boxes of the FPersonale subform(which, in form view, is labeled "Shift schedule") you get a message titled "Write Conflict" saying that during the current session the record had been modified by another user, asking to choose between saving the record, copying the edits to the clipboard or discarding the edits. I've tried to get rid of the message by putting Me.Requery at the end of the text boxes' AfterUpdate event code but the message still pops up.
I am doing some work on my company's database. It is a MS Access 2003 front-end with an SQL back-end.
Recently, I have asked the database administrator to add some new fields to an existing table and two of them are yes/no fields. When I have tried to update these fields, it comes up with a 'Write Conflict' error message and I can only choose 'Copy to clipboard' or 'Drop changes'. But either way, my changes do not get saved.
I have found that the error occurs when I refresh the table links to add the new fields and then try to save over just the old fields and not even trying to add anything into the new fields. Two of the fields are yes/no but they have a default value of 0 and I'm not sure what is causing my error. I read that it may be due to these yes/no fields having no default values so I thought I would mention it incase anyone may have suggested that to be the reason for my error message.
I have a problem with write conflict error. The database is functioning normally and without any problems but on particular computer. the systems are same (windows 7) with office 2010.I have a form with subform based on query. Changing the records in a subform is without any problems, but on one particular computar, I am allways receiving Write conflict error message. When I copy / paste the database from the wrong computer to another one, everything is OK. When I copy / paste it back to problematic computer, the problem is back also.It seems, that the problem is maybe somewhere in settings of this computer.
I have a form for updating contact details of customers/suppliers. Upon clicking an edit button the user can update txt boxes (as opposed to updating the table data directly and making a mistake). When they press save the below code runs:
Code: If Not IsNull(Me.txtp_fname.Value) Then Dim strFirstName As String strFirstName = Me.txtp_fname Dim FirstName As String FirstName = Replace(strFirstName, "'", "''") End If
Ok....Just when you think it's all running smoothly.... :( I have a combo box, MDLastName, with a column count of 9, with column 2 displaying and all others hidden. The selection made with this combo populates 7 corresponding fields (first name, address, etc). It's working perfectly.
The first problem I encountered was with identical last names, but different corresponding data. When I selected Jones, for example, it would populate the first Dr. Jones and his info, listed in the table. However, if I selected the second Dr. Jones in the combo list, it was still populating only the first Dr. Jones' info. I resolved this by binding the fist column (ID, aka primary key), but still hiding all colums but column 2. First problem fixed..
Next, I have a Word Template document bookmarked to receive data from the form, frmDenial. I have all the coding working fine and dandy to insert the data from the fields on the form, save, and print. However, instead of inserting the text from the MDLastName, it is inserting the primary key (because it is the bound column in the combo box). Now, because of the first problem discussed above, I cannot change the bound column to column 2 (containing the data I need in the Word Template). How can I get the right info to appear in my template with the bookmarks?
I have a few forms - one search form (frm_main_search) which uses a basic datasheet view as a subform (subfrm_main_search), and one form which I launch from the subform (via a double click event) for the user record - frm_user_record.If I search for a user, then select them from the datasheet view query results, I can launch the user record as frm_user_record.
However if I then change anything on the user's record, I go to search for another user in the database and get the Write Conflict dialog. See my attached screenshot for a view of my form.I've changed the data of one of the visible records on the data sheet, so it needs to reload the data. However I'd like to suppress this error as I'm dealing with hundreds of these a day and it also confuses some of our less tech savvy users.
I ALWAYS click "Drop Changes" and encourage my users to do this too but is there a way of preventing this dialog from appearing?
Well I know why this happens b/c the table that the information is being pulled is the subsequently being updated however when moving to a diff customer or closing the form etc.. The user is then displayed the MsgBox of Write Conflict and supplying the user with 3 options of Disregarding Changes, Saving changes to Clipboard or Save Changes.
Baisically is their a way to restrict this write conflict msgbox and have it so that it saves the users changes every time.
Are there any issues with converting an older 97 database to 2003? Is it a straight conversion, or will there be differences that affect the way the database will run if converted? I've read somewhere that it is possible to use the newer version to open the database w/o converting it. It seems silly to have to install 97 on a new computer in order to view the db.
I just created a calendar pop-up for data entry in Access Version 2002 and it does not work with Access 2003. Any help from anybody would be appreciated!
I have a database which is use at busy times to run the delivery side of our Floristry business. The orders are entered,assigned to a delivery area, address labels printed. When it comes to delivery day orders are selected from the list ticked off then printed a make a list for the driver.
It was built using Access 97 when it first came out. Since then the software was upgraded to Access 2000 many mods have been made each year to improve the performance and the number of things it can do. It now has about 15 tables and a lot of queries. Not being an expert with Access a lot of the design has been on a trial and error basis. Put it another way the main form has many hidden fields to make things work behind the scenes. But it does most of what I want it to. I have now go to the point where the main query is saying that I can't add any more features because I have to many fields in it.
So the time has come to look at re building it for a number of reasons.
1. It is a stand alone database on one Pc.......... I would like to have it on a network to 3 or 4 Pc's around the shop. 2. Some of it needs to be redesigned to take out my ( it might not be the way a designer would it but it does work) type bits. 3 I would like to be able to use the system for all orders received on a day to day basis. So it will need to be used by other people.
My question today is Should I be looking to rebuilt it using Access 2003 + the extra software so that i can run it on more than one PC.
Or would it be better to wait few months till Acess 2007 comes out and start from scratch.
