I previously posted this in one of the other forums, but now believe this to be of a more general nature, and am still without a satisfactory explanation or any workaround:
I'm working on a new database with Access 2003, using the 2002-2003 file format. While debugging a VBA code module in the VB editor, whenever I get a runtime error something strange happens - I stop the debugger, correct the code and attempt to save my changes, and Access displays the message "Microsoft Office Access can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save your design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file." It then persists in denying me the ability to save ANYTHING until I close the VB editor, close the Access application, and then start over again. In fact, there is no other user - all other machines on the network are turned off, and no other instances of Access or the VB editor are open.
Needless to say, this is slowing my development efforts to a crawl, and I'm totally stumped by it - I never remember running into this problem in years of working with Access 97 (where I can hit errors, stop execution, make any needed corrections to code or other objects, and re-run the application, without having to exit). I'm running this on a P4 3.4 GHz box with 1 GB of RAM. Going into Tools, Options, Advanced and switching the "Default open mode" between Shared and Exclusive makes no difference.
I have a table with 140 fields (I know, this is too many). I have a date field that intermittently will not allow data to be entered. There is a pattern to the data it will not accept, but it seems to only occur in certain records and what it will or will not allow seems different in each case. The error I get when I try to save a record is: The search key was not found in any record. I've isolated the error to the level of the table. Have tried compact/repair, removing the index on the field, deleting and recreating the field. Nothing works. Help! :confused:
We have a database stored on a network drive used by a number of people across the organization over a Windows XP Network. I have an strange issue where some users get the error attached when trying to amend a record. However other users are able to amend the very same records. All the relevant user/windows permissions are identical. There is no security/permissions settings on the database for it to behave in this manner. The record seems to lock itself the moment you try to edit it.
Recently I am getting this message in a database that would allow users to add new rows to tables, even when I look into the tables themselves I can't seem to enter data
Would anyone know what could be causing this error?
I'm beginning to lose the will to live over this one. I've been merrily developing a large application (ADP) in Access 2000 and 2003 over the past 5 years. The size of the ADP is now around 30MB and it contains the following quantities of objects:
23 modules 424 forms (409 with modules) 296 reports (284 with modules)
My problem is that whenever I use the decompile switch and then recompile I get the dreaded "The Save Operation Failed" message on saving the code and the whole ADP is then rendered corrupt. My only option is to create a new ADP and import each object type (Modules first, then forms then reports) separately, compiling as I go. This seems to work OK but when I open a file I've been working on in Access 2000 on an Access 2003 PC it seems to decompile it by itself and then won't compact/save. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I've searched Google and can't come up with any reasonable suggestions.

I have a Contacts form which has a Calls sub-form which itself has a Subjects sub-form. From the Contacts form the user can click a button which writes a pro-forma letter from a selection. The application then updates the Call & allows the user to select the Subject(s) from the Subjects available (drop-down menu). If the user wants to write a second letter immediately, I get the above message. If they do anything else first, they are OK. I have tried refreshing the Contacts form & each of the others at various points in the process, explictly saving the record (caused another error) etc. without success. Can you help?
I have been working on a bound form that I can't seem to get working.
It records deliveries and what I am trying to achieve is after the form has been filled in the user will click a save button where the record will be added to the table and a record automatically printed via a report and emailed to the shop manager, but i keep getting the error "No Current record" no matter what way I try to do it, I have tried using to run the report. Is the best way for me to accomplish this o change it to an unbound for and run an insert query on click?
I have attached a copy of what I have been working on : DatabaseDelivery.accdb
My database was working fine. Now, if I have to save or edit a record, I get a message Run time error 2107. The value you entered does not meet the validation rule defined for the field or control. I am able to enter and edit new records in the table. I did not change any validation in form. Then it goes to debug mode and highlighted this code (me.recordsource=Listsql - is highlighted)

I have a access program and recently I began getting this Error out of the blue . I really need to fix this error because it shuts down my entire program . When I go to save a pic like i always do and it will not recognize the "quote Main ".
So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?
I need code for save dialog file ,and select the file from textbox and save it to the selected location.i have only this code and i dont know what else i can do with this because it just opens the save file dialog !
I need a simple line of VBA code for Access 2000. I am using Access to open a XML file via Excel 2000 spreadsheet. After opening I want to use SAVEAS to save the file to a different location. In addition I want to specify the file format as Excel. What is the code to specify the file type as Excel?
My current code is :
myWorkBook.SaveAs (myPaths![Path])
So what do I need to add to this line to specify the file type?
I have a combo box that gets its data from a seperate table...In the table I have "Location_ID" and "Location_Name". When I save my form I want the "Location_Name" to save in the "Events" table, but its putting in the "Location_ID". How do I get it to save the "Location_Name" instead of the "Location_ID" from the combo box.
Im new to asp and access and have been having this problem for serveral weeks.
Every couple of days, all the asp pages on my site that communicate with the database start having 500 internal errors. i turned off the "Show friendly error messages" and one page gave me this specific error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/admin/submitlogin.asp, line 8
I have tried a million things and have no idea why this is happening. Im not sure what other information i should post in order to see the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Hey all I have added a yes no button to my save button, so users have the option to save the record or not. so the save yes works fine, but it is the save no I am having probelms with. I would like to click no, and have the changed not saved, clear that out and go back to the first record again kind of like undo. Thanks! Here is my current code: On Error GoTo Err_savebtn_Click PIN.SetFocus 'enable buttons insbtn.Enabled = True Command31.Enabled = True Command63.Enabled = True
'Save the current record Dim Answer As String Let Answer = MsgBox("Would you like to save your changes?", vbYesNo, "Save record Confirmation") If Answer = vbYes Then DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 exitedit Else exitedit Call firstbtn_Click End If Exit_savebtn_Click: Exit Sub
if i use Date() as default value at my field, can i save it? i mean it not change when next day come for some record. coz i want to use today's date as default date to some record. when next day come, date for that recoerd still at yesterday's date..
This morning when I make changes to reports in design view then I try to save the changes and Access acts like nothing was saved. I then close window and it asks if I want to save changes, I click yes then it dosn't close. If I close and don't save changes it closes then.
I don't get any error messages or anything that looks like a problem and I could save changes yesturday. Not sure what is differant today.
I have noticed that when i am editing an object within my database, specifically a query and click to close it, it doesn't prompt me to save the changes and does it automatically. There have been cases where i do not want to save the changes and just wanted to know if there was a simple setting to turn off automatic saves?
I really like Access, I can manage well with it. But I have a problem, and I really wonder why this kind of thing happens in such a professional program using a lot of important data.
Actually the program saves automatically, and I don't like it. For example I try a little something, delete some stuff, replace by something else, and when I quit the program, it doesn't say a thing, and when I come back, the unimportant stuff I changed is still there, and what was replaced is lost. Why? Is there any way to force the program to ask if I want to save the changes?... It's really annoying and I really don't feel secure with my data with this system.
I have an AC 2003 db that a customer is running using runtime. There is a report in the db and when the customer tries to run it, a "save as xps" box comes up. The customer is running the db using 6 machines, only 2 of the machines are getting the error. Is this an issue with Vista?
I have a table named case and it is connected with a table named categories .the table categories is connected to a table named subcategories.
For every record in the table case the categories and the subcategories are the same.
Is there a way that I can copy all the records of the categories and the subcategories for every record in the table Case or I have to do it only with copy & paste.
