Cannot Move Database Up To Front View Behind Form Switchboard

Apr 13, 2012

Hard to see the image but basically, I can't seem to bring the database behind the form to the front to view it when I click on it. I've never encountered this before.

Move Add Existing Fields Outputs On Form In Design View

Aug 5, 2015

[URL] .....

In the Lesson tutorial shown above I am clicking on tools and adding existing fields. I get a lot of output label and text box pairs for each field that I add.

However, they are all on right below the other. That is no problem just move them. No way.

Whenever, I move it a label and test box for say Order Status, I get ... nothing. It stays where it is.

They (label and text box) do not move together. So how do I get them to move together.

Switchboard Opens Form In Wrong View

Feb 8, 2005

I have designed a form which I want the users to see in Datasheet form.

In the properties, "Default view" is "datasheet" and "Views Allowed" is "datasheet"

When I open it directly, it opens as a datasheet.

But when the Switchboard opens it, it comes up as a Single Form. Infuriating !

What to do ?

General :: Move Table To Front End?

Apr 7, 2015

I'm trying to move a couple tables into the Front End of an Access 2010 database because the drop downs take awhile to load. We have horrible servers at work.

I can get some of them to convert to local table but naturally the ones I really need won't. The only table I want to remain in my backend is "project log data final". I don't even get an error message it just doesn't do it. Why would it not let me convert some to a local table. Does it have anything to do with relationships?

Switchboard Front Page - Users Able To Access Forms For Data Input

Dec 8, 2011

I have created a switchboard 'front page' through which I hope for users to access the forms for inputting data.

Within this front page I have an 'enter' button - successfully created - everything.

However, I am unclear as to how you activate this, or any other button. I have linked it to the appropriate form and stated the action I want it to undertake, but nothing is happening.

What further instructions do I need to provide ...and where?!

One User Of Split Database Front-end Can't Launch A Form

Jun 25, 2014

I have a 2007 back-end db on a network share and around 15 regular users who access it through their own front-end db/interface. One user on Windows 7 is able to launch and use his front-end copy fine except when he goes to launch one form for data entry.

This form clocks and freezes the entire application. I sat with him and was able to determine that the issue is that the form_load code is never running. He clicks on the button to launch the form (done in vba) and the code never runs. If he opens the form in design view first then changes to form view, the code runs fine and there are no issues. This is his present work-around, but I had to give him an unlocked FE copy to pull it off (not ideal!).

I tried this with him on different PCs, with different front-end copies, and even in the back-end copy. Same result each time. None of the other users have this issue, and he can replicate this issue on different PCs. I'm at a loss for what might be causing this since it really seems so user-specific.

General :: Customize Front End View

Dec 30, 2012

I just split my DB into a front end and a back end. I only want the users to have access to 2 forms in the DB because the form already has buttons that link to all other forms and reports needed. How do I customize the front end view so that they only see these 2 forms?

Modules & VBA :: Using Unbound Form On Front End Of Database To Populate Backend Tables

Apr 12, 2015

Is there any particular reason I would choose to use

DoCmd.RunSQL "insert into...

Versus

CurrentDb.Execute "insert into.... ??

I am using an unbound form on the front end of my database to populate the backend tables (multiple tables). Some forms only have a few fields, while other forms have about 15 fields with 3-4 tables updating.

I am okay using the DoCmn.RunSQL , but I keeping reading on the forum that others chose CurrentDB.Execute and it has me thinking.

My database is stored on a network drive with only on front end.

Forms :: Layout View - Move Labels Separately

Feb 4, 2014

There is a light border that is still there after I remove the text that was in the box. I want to remove the ghost image, for lack of a better name, that is left.

Also all the images, fields, are locked together. I want to remove some individually,without moving everything.

I'm in the "LayOut View" of Access 15.0.4551 Office 365 Home Premium.

When Opening A Database I Can Only View & Edit The Form...

Jul 9, 2007

Hello,

When I attempt to open any of my Access databases I am presented only with the form that has been selected as the 'startup' option. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to switch to 'design' view and my only options on the toolbar are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Windows, Help. As far as I can tell, none of these enable me to select the options required to give me my entire database back.

I am something of an Access novice, so if the above problem seems familiar to anyone i'd be grateful for the solution! The help option within MS Access hasn't been particularly useful.

Many thanks,

David

Modules & VBA :: Database Audit Trail To Work With A Form In Datasheet View

Aug 11, 2014

Is there way a to get this audit trail module to work with a form in Datasheet view? It works fine with a form in Single Form view; I can open the table where the audits are saved and everything looks good. But when implemented on a form in datasheet view, nothing happens. I don't get any errors and nothing is saved to the audit table.

Link : [URL] ....

Here's the vba code:

Sub AuditChanges(IDField As String, UserAction As String)
On Error GoTo AuditChanges_Err
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsT As DAO.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
Dim datTimeCheck As Date
Dim strUserID As String

[Code] ...

You call it in the BeforeUpdate event like so:

Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Track all changes made to the record
If Me.NewRecord Then
Call AuditChanges("Asset_ID", "NEW")
Else
Call AuditChanges("Asset_ID", "EDIT")
End If
End Sub

General :: Move A Split Database

Aug 7, 2013

I tried saving my split database to a flash drive so I could move it to a computer that is connected to the shared server but it did not go as I planned. The back end with the tables works fine, but when I try to open the Form on the front end it says it cannot be located. I just want to take all the files I have (Should only be 2 front/back ends) and move them onto a new computer.

Blank Form In Form View But Fields Present In Design View

Oct 19, 2005

After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.

After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)

I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.

Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?

(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)

Thanks, Charlotte

Database Windows Partially Hidden, Can't Move It

Jan 11, 2007

This one has me stumped:When a particular database opens, its window is partially under (hidden by) the menu and tool bar. I can't click on the window's top in order to move it. I've tried several things (i.e. resizing the screen resolution, moving the menu and tool bars, resizing the window, etc.) with no resolution. Any suggestions.Am using Access 2003, Thanks, Joel

Access Front End Linked To SQL Server Database

May 24, 2006

Hi,

I created a database in Microsoft Access and then upsized it to SQL Server afterwards.

I now need to add a new column to a table in the database. So I added the new column in SQL Server using ALTER TABLE command. This column is a foreign key which has an associated parent key in another table which contains a description of the column.
e.g.
Main_Table
Case_ID Foreign_Key_Field_ID
1234 78

New_Foreign_Key_Table
Foreign_Key_Field_ID Foreign_Key_Field_Desc
78 Describes the ID 78


I also setup a CONSTRAINTREFERENCE between the fields in these 2 tables.

I then relinked my tables using the Linked Table Manager to pick up the change to the table I altered (Main_Table). I also linked to the new table I created (New_Foreign_Key_Table).

My problem:
In Access if I create a new table I can select the lookup value for a field in the Table Design view Lookup tab. However, I altered my table in SQL Server and then linked to it again to pick up the change. Now when I view the linked table in Access it does not have any lookup value AND it's not possible to change this for a linked table.

Is there some piece of SQL I can use in SQL Server to change the lookup value for the field in my table OR have I approached this the wrong way. Should I have modified the local table in Access and upsized it again?

Otherwise if I select all values from my Main_Table in a form it displays the Foreign_Key_Field_ID instead of the Foreign_Key_Field_Desc because the lookup value has not been set to Foreign_Key_Field_Desc

This posting is a bit long - I hope it makes sense.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

General :: Multiple Users On Front End Database

Oct 22, 2012

I've prepared a front end database with forms that allow data to be keyed into linked tables to my main databse.

However, currently the front end database only allows 1 user to do it at 1 time and when another user tries to open the file, an error "The Database Has Been Placed in a State by User on Machine That Prevents It From Being Opened or Locked'

Is there anyway to allow multiple users to use the front end database at the same time?
