Recently I've been having a problem with Access (2003) that I can't seem to get around. If I click on "NEW" to create a new query, do some editing, then go to close, it prompts me as to whether or not I want to save, which would be ok, if it would let me choose NO!!
I only get OK or Cancel options. I've NEVER had this problem before.
I have not done any updates added any addons. Is there some hidden trick here or some way to get around this cause its really annoying.
I have a database on a shared network drive. If you try to open the db (when another user already has the db open) from the route "my computer" then selecting the drive then selecting the db the message
"Microsoft Access can't find the database file 'M:lah blah blah' Make sure you have entered the correct file and path name"
However, if you open the db through the access application it opens fine and there are no problems.
Has anyone come accross this before??? I have contacted our IT department who say that they cannot see why this is happening.
I have a backwards date between query. I have a table with Date1 and Date2 fields. On the form I have a calender control. I want the user to click a date on the calender control and then look at the rows in the table to see if that date is between the Date1 and Date2 fields.
So the query will be (in english) get all rows that CalenderDate1 is between Date1 and Date2
When I open my mainform through an onClick event of a button, the form opens up with the subform on it is disabled/closed -- Just a blank white box shows in place of the subform on my mainform. Here: http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/4672/shot29sj.th.jpg (http://img426.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot29sj.jpg)
However, when i go through the objects window and open the mainfrom directly. I am able to enter and update data and the subform shows up and works fine. Here: http://img420.imageshack.us/img420/5650/shot19ig.th.jpg (http://img420.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot19ig.jpg)
This is the code attached to the onClick event on the mainMenu
Private Sub New_Project_Click() On Error GoTo Err_New_Project_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Project Status - Full Details2"
stLinkCriteria = "[projectId]= 0" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria [Form_Project Status - Full Details2]![Proj ID].Enabled = False
This is the record source on the mainform: The projectInfomation table is the record source SELECT * FROM projectInformation;
This is the record source on the subform: The projectStatusCommentary table is the record source
SELECT projectStatusCommentary.projStatusId, projectStatusCommentary.projectId, projectStatusCommentary.statusCommentary, projectStatusCommentary.commentaryDate FROM projectStatusCommentary;
The link fields are: projectInformation.projectId projectStatusCommentary.projectId
The tables are in sybase and my application has an ODBC connection to them. I can update any of the tables directly without issues. I have ran the queries independently and updated tables through the query and it works fine also.
I have been pulling my hairs out on this for over 3weeks now. cos i can't seem to find what's wrong. I am not able to attache the db cos it's very huge. But i have copied the problematic form &subform, to a new db so you may see my design, and record sources.
If you have any suggestions, ideas, or you've come across this kind of issue before, anything...please make my new Year a happy one and help :) I would really appreciate it! Have a happy and prosperous new year.
In trying to write code to automatically hide database window I have completedly stffed up and now have code that closes the database window everytime I startup, hence closing the database.
Does anyone know how to disable VBA or somehow keep the database open??
I have a database here that is run by users who use either Access 2002 (XP) or Access 2003.
I have noticed something which to me seems odd and dunno if any of you guys could explain why or how to resolve it?
If one of the 2002 users opens the database it opens fine first time (I use 2002 myself for development) however if a 2003 user opens it it can take 30s+ to open, but then if they close it it will re-open in just a couple of seconds like for the 2002 users.
However if a 2002 user opens it once a 2003 user has just closed it they will then take 30s or so to open it, but then again if they close and re-open it's almost instant.
Is that normal?
Incidentally office 2007 doesn't seem to suffer from this, but it's dead slow at running the database anyway so I'm not going down that route for the forseeable future!
Thanks in advance for any input!
I did try the recommended method of searching this forum using google but it didn't seem to work for me:(
I'm trying to sort a combo box alphabetically except for one value which is always at the top of the list.
The row source of the combo box is a query. record to remain at the top of the list is static- same value and ID number always. I've fiddled around with a few things, but at the end of the day, i'm just not smart enough! (or its not possible -which i doubt).. any suggestions? cheers.
I am building a database to help my unit in Iraq. Here are the fields I have so far.
Field 1: Date Field 2: Time Field 3: Location Field4: SIGACT (Significant Act)
Well that is the basics look like. I would like to be able to count the number of times a type of SIGACT occured in durring the day, week, and month. I would like to have this come out in a report I could then take to Excel and graph. The SIGACT has a couple different options like IED, and SAF. Thanks for any help you can provide
"relationship must be on the same number of fields with the same data types" data types are same, numbers.
Primary table has just jobnoID that are all unique (primary table) ie 6907, 6908, 6909 etc
second table "jobs by order" (secondary table) has unique orderno(order numbers) in column one say 69071 and 69072, 69073 and jobno in second coloumn say 6907, 6907, 6907 for all the above.
trying to link JobnoID primary table (one to many) to Jobno secondary table (many)
Also need to note. This database is a purchase order database. so am trying to load in all past data from excel. data is in already. so primary table above with jobno is an auto number so will generate the new jobno for us. but had to copy and paste blank fields into table to get records upto the number we are upto now, ie job number 7112. I have only put data in secondary table for jobno's 6885 through to 7112, and even some of these have blank spaces.
Any ideas? Also how do i do a screen capture and dump in here so you can see relationships etc, which would be a whole lot easier to explain. thanks heaps Alastair:rolleyes:
I have a table (Master) that contains columns such as MsgLocation, MsgName, MsgScript, and MsgTxt. I want to create a form where the user would have an area to type in a 'string' and when they hit enter (or select a button), a (background) query would execute a lookup on master "where MsgTxt LIKE %string%"... For example, if a user wants a list of all MsgTxt values that contain "Please hold" they would type in a box "Please hold" and the query would use %Please hold% in the search criteria.
I don't have a clue on the first thing to do to get this done. And I'm new at this...
I am trying to create a Switchboard of my own that will do everything the database window will, but restrict certain users from accessing certain areas of the switchboard. The only part i am needing assistance on is Adding, Deleting, Modifying and Running my database items from the form.
I already have used that MSysObjects code to create list boxes for my Tables, Queries, Forms and Reports. Now, I'd like to setup 4 custom command buttons on the form that say:
Code:Private Sub AddTable_Click () [listTables.Value = New Table, prompt user for standard New table wizard]End Sub Private Sub DeleteTable_Click () [listTables.Value = Delete this table (with normal "Are you sure" prompts)]End Sub Private Sub ModifyTable_Click () [listTables.Value = Open this table in Design view]End Sub Private Sub OpenTable_Click () [listTables.Value = Open this table in Datasheet view]End Sub
Now, I know that this code is by far not the correct code, but I hope it helps you understand what I'd like to do. Basically, I want the button to correspond with whatever is selected in the list box for that item (except for the add button, it really doesn't matter what the listbox says when the add button is pushed). As far as my list boxes go, i'd like 2 functions for it to do:
1. If a table/query/etc. is double clicked, that item is opened.
2. Allows multiple selections to delete. (i.e. the user can select multiple tables and click the Delete button, and all the tables that are selected are deleted.)
Let me know if all of this can be done from my form. It would be great to get all this working by tomorrow. I appreciate all of aspfree's users help. You guys rock!
If there are any aspiring `idiot´s guide` writers out there, now is the time to put some practice in!
I have almost completed my database, I just need to get the reporting section done.
I need to produce a monthly report on our casework which basically means totalling certain fields each month, which are exportable to access so I can produce comparison graphs.
I know that you cannot ´total´ text fields except for when you produce a form based on a pivotable. Is there anyway of producing a pivotable from a user-selected date range, and then being able to export that pivotable to Excel for the monthly report? Also, can I put a user-selected field filter in the pivotable?
So for example, my user wants to know how many cases there were for each subject in the month of March i.e. how many health enquiries, how many benefit enquiries, how many pension enquiries and so on. Each of these different types of enquiry are coded in a field-list called ´subject´. Therefore, can I produce a pivotable based on the selection of a date range and the field called ´subject´?
I am against a desperate deadline to get this done now. If anyone can spend time spelling this out in little words for me that would be great. This is the first time I´ve used Access and I ain´t done half bad, but this is completely stumping me!
I am trying to add a 'keypad' to an access form. The aim is to have an entry system similar to the tills you get in some pubs where when you click on the relevant number it enters that number in the selected field on the form.
I know this is probably a basic question for most of you but your help would be very much appreciated.
I have a table linked to an SQL Server table in my MS Access 2000 Application containing 5 text-fields (SQL Server Type, in Access seen as MEMO-fields) and several other fields (in total about 140 fields). Updating any field works fine except for some records. In those records I can only edit the non-text-fields in my application. When I try to edit one of the text-fields I get a error message telling me that another user has edited the record and i have to discard my changes.
The strange thing is that this problem only crops up for some records. (1 in a 100 or so) All other records work fine.
Does anyone know what happens here? And how this can be fixed?
we run a family business and i do all the quotations.
i have an access database in which i record these quotations and whether or not we got the job or not, and i have to input all the data manually.
i wondered if i could set a word document so that it would automatically export certain areas of the quotation (like the date, who it was to, what work we are quoting for, how much it would cost, etc) into the correct fields in my database.
It basically is used to create, manage and track Customers, Parts, Work Orders and Suppliers, payments and employees.You simply create a Customer and then create a Work order that contains a list of parts and labour items.
What I want to do is to create a "Kit" of parts so that the user does not have to select each part individually when they create a Work Order. For example, if I use a mechanics workshop as an example, the mechanic may sell his "Signature 1916cc Engine" that consists of 40 different parts and some other items such as labour and other services. In this scenario, instead of the user individually selecting 40 different parts, all he needs to do is select the Kit called "Signature 1916 cc Engine" from a drop down list and all of the 40 parts and other items would automatically populate the correct Work Order Parts/Labour tables.
I would also like the user to be able to select another "kit" that would either replace all parts and labour records or append to what is already there.
I have changed the form called "Workorders" to have 2 buttons. One called "Load Kit" the other called "Save Kit".If the user presses "load Kit" a form will be displayed that enables them to select a "kit" from a list and whether they want to replace all of the existing parts and labour records or if they want to append to the existing records.
In order to create a new kit, the user can simply manually create a new work order by individually selecting each part and labour item and then pressing the "Save Kit" button. The user will then be asked to provide the short name of the Kit and the long description (I have created table called tKit). The new kit will then be saved.
It appears that the "Entered by" field that is linked to the Employee table must not be blank other wise the Workbook is NOT saved....I have tried to figure out why this is happening but can't!
The Work Order Parts are stored in "Work Order Parts" and the Work Order Labor is stored in a table called "Work Order Labor". I have created 2 extra tables called "tKitWorkOrderParts" and "tKitWorkOrderLabor" that I assume will contain the items that make up the kits..
