Hi.
I am running a form on top of a query with around 1500 records in it. The query mostly uses tables that are joined with referential integrity.
The form has buttons and conditional formatting.
It was fine until today, when suddenly the form has stopped loading properly. It looks all fragmented on the screen and I have to scroll down and scroll back up again for it to look right.
I have searched everywhere to find out what is causing this and how it can be fixed, but no luck yet. Can you help?
I have a pop-up modal form which is loaded (like 99% of my other forms) by a button on another form.
Unlike all of my other forms, however, it doesn't load its background properly. If I drag the window off screen and back or shrink and resize, it does look right, so I guess maybe it requires a refresh?Obviously, I don't want to rebuild the form from scratch, so maybe some vba which refreshes the screen?
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
I encountered some weird symptons with my Access forms. I am using the form to display images(done by setting the OnCurrent and After Update property).
When my PC is just powered on, and i try to load say form "ENGLISH". Form "ENGLISH" will appear, but the focus will switch in between form ENGLISH and the MS ACCESS program window. This action will onli settle down after abt 10 secs.
When the ENGLISH form is loaded, i will attempt to switch from one record to another, but the same thing occurs again. IT will load/refresh for abt 10seconds, with the focus toggling btwn ENGLISH FORM n MS Access.. IN addition, it opens a second copy of FORM "ENGLISH" in the background as can be seen on my taskbar. When i close my 1st form ENGLISH and i attempt to close the 2nd FORM tat is appearing on the taskbar, there will be an error msg, English : MSACCESS.EXE-Application Error, Instruction at....(refer to the attached jpeg file for detailed error location)
Y is it tat this weird behaviour onli applies to the forms tat are used to display images but not those normal forms tat contains of purely text?
The entire behaviour will be eliminated after i close MS access, and reload the DB abt twice.....
I have a list box that displays the names of customers who are allowed to hire DVDs.
I would like to highlight a customer and show all the relevant customer data on a separate form, not have the list box on the same form that displays the customer's data.
We have access DB on a server accessed by 3 workstations. When we open the shortcut it opens a form. Few days ago we started getting this error: can't find project or library..Then this code opens in Microsoft Visual Basic
Code: Function CheckCommandLine() If Command <> "" Then changeTableLinks Command End If
[code]...
Link to the database is like this:"C:Program FilesOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" serverdbsci.mdb /cmd serverdbsci_data.mdb....We don't get this error on Access 2007.
I'm working in Access 97 and I've got a form that I want to use to create filters with.
There are a couple of things that I'm not clear about and I'd appreciate any suggestions that you can make:
1. The form seems to remember the last filter, so when I click on the Filter by form button it shows the last filter by default. I've included the following in the click event: RunCommand (acCmdRemoveFilterSort) Me.FilterOn = False RunCommand (acCmdFilterByForm) Surely either of the first two statements should remove the filter, shouldn't they? and if not then what are they for?
2. I can't get the 'OR' tabs to show at the bottom of the filter by form screen unless I apply the filter once and then click on the filter by form button again. Is there any way of forcing these tabs to appear?
Okay, here's a question that should hopefully be simple. I have a form that I am setting the default value of two text boxes based on the form previous. Here's basically the rundown of what happensfrmForm1Input Month: FebruaryInput Year: 2012OK - Opens frmForm2 and then closes this one---------frmForm2Month_Default_Value: #Name?Year_Default_Value: 2012---------And this always happens for every month and every year. So could you tell me what could possibly be wrong with my "Month" default value? Here's the code...Private Sub Form_Load()Month_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Month]Year_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Year]Me.Month.DefaultValue = Month_QueryMe.Year.DefaultValue = Year_QueryEnd SubThanks!--Mike
I made a form a few years ago using Excel but it has become a major headache for anyone who wants to edit/update the content.
It's my responsibility to figure out how to fix this, but I don't really have any experience in form-creation! I'm not even sure what software to use... I've done some searching, and right now I'm thinking Access might have the tools that I need to help me complete this project (although I have no experience with the software at all right now).
I'm looking for some help on getting started.. so I will describe the project, and hopefully someone can answer a few of my questions.
This form has 3 sections: input, Q&A, and the summary. The input section is handled by the company before presenting the Q&A to a client. In the Q&A portion the client's name, company, and other personal information are pulled from the input section and placed mid-sentence in the questions. This is a personal touch we would like to keep when re-creating the form.
The Q&A portion also includes radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdown lists and input fields where the client can type out their answers sometimes. Here is an example of what the first 2 pages may look like:
PAGE 1: Question 1: Do you have a clearly defined purpose for your plan?
http://img425.imageshack.us/img425/3589/radio9sx.jpg If YES record the purpose below: _______________________________________________
http://img425.imageshack.us/img425/3589/radio9sx.jpg If NO, choose a sample purpose from the drop-down box to help get you started:
PAGE 2: Question 2: What selection critera did you use to select your service provider?
http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2890/checked4na.jpg Investment options provided http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5539/unchecked5rr.jpg Cost of service http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5539/unchecked5rr.jpg Support tools proved http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2890/checked4na.jpg Quality of service
Enter any other reasons below: _______________________________________________
One page per question.
The SUMMARY page will take client's answers and compact them into something more readable. The answers are listed one after another (no limit per page as with the questions). Also, the answers are to be displayed in sentence format. For example.. if a client checks off 3 items from a 5 item list, those three items should be listed in a sentence separated by commas. Here is an example summarizing the first 2 pages above:
Summary of Answers
1. Do you have a clearly defined purpose for your plan? A. YES. (description of plan previously entered by client)
2. What selection critera did you use to select your service provider? A. Investment options provided, and quality of service. Also (other resaons, provided by client)
This demonstrates the type of control that I need over the information. I managed to get Excel to do all these things.. but, like I said it is too complex to edit/update without accidently screwing things up. So lastly and most importantly... the final version of the form needs to be easy to edit!
So... does it look like Access the right program for the job? Maybe there are other programs out there that I should be looking at (something by Adobe maybe?)
But if you think Access can handle the job then do you have any tips to help me along my way? I'm not looking for specific step-by step instructions to help me build this of course.. I will figure most of it out by trial and error. But are there some major things I should be looking out for? Like, do I have to set up a particular kind of database, or use a particular kind of template? Is inserting the client's name mid-sentence a particularly difficult thing to do?
Any help to get started on this is much appreciated. THANKS.
I've a form with an image on each page which is linked (not embedded) to filenames from another table. When moving through the forms the time it takes to import the picture is relatively slow, is there any method or hack I could use to speed this up?
I have a report that summarizes the record content that is contained within a form (one report line per form record). If the user wishes to view a specific record on the form, he clicks on the report control that contains a numeric value that identifies the record on the form. I can get that to work with the following code:
where Admission Number is a control on the form and Text0 is the control on the report containing the admission number requested i.e. if the report control Text0 = 10, the form would open with the current record in which admission number = 10.
Problem is though, the form opens as "filtered" with only the one requested record (i.e. record number 1 of 1). What I would like is the unfiltered form to be opened with the requested Admission Number as the current record. I have tried DoCmd.GoToRecord but can't get it to work.
I have a RTE 94 happening due to a piece of code running on a subform current-event which looks at a text box on the parent form. I understand this is due to the order of loading of the forms initially and all works fine when moving to other records once all are opened. How can I overcome this happening on first opening?
I am thinking I need to set a counter on the subform on load event to say 1, then when the subform current-event fires add some code so if the counter is 1, then do nothing, if 0 then run the code. When the mainform opens reset the counter to 0, then requery the subform. The form will now see the counter is set to 0 for the rest of the time, so will then always run the code.
Not sure how to go about setting out the code as I guess there needs to be some form of Public variable involved?
I have a continuous form (FormA) which shows records from TableA. There is a button on FormA which opens FormB. FormB allows a record to be added to TableA. On closing FormB, FormA should requery to show the most recent addition to TableA. This does not happen though, it is always a record behind, unless I close and reopen the form.
I'm using;
Forms![FormA].Requery
on my close button on FormB.
Any ideas? I have done a search but cant find a solution.
I have a query that is basically loading values from a open form.
Im using the format of Product: Form!form1!products to assign the value of products to product in my query... Now all this works with straight text, however this technique does not appear to work with dates or yes no check boxes. I have used the builder but still wont work with dates. any ideas? thanks
I am brand new to MS Access 2013 & VBA.There is a form that collects the data and writes it to a SQL database. The form is a certificate order form for a school. There are two tables that data is written to. dbo.CertificateMaster & dbo.CertificationModules. There is a relationship between the two tables. A person will request the certificate and included in the request are the subject(modules) that the person has studied.As part of the request the college/school needs a printed copy of the request.As the report opens I need it populate certain fields with their full names. To do this I use the following script
Private Sub Report_Load() Dim strSQL1 As String, db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL2 As String, db2 As DAO.Database, rs2 As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL3 As String, db3 As DAO.Database, rs3 As DAO.Recordset
[code]....
Problem 1:
When drawing the data from dbo_tblCourse_Department I need to populate 4 textboxes on the report. I am able to populate PgmTitle &NQFLevel, but I keep getting "Item not found in this collection error for Credits & SAQAID.
Problem 2:
I need to populate the various courses with their name which is extracted from dbo_tblCourses. However only the first course name is visible in the report. I have tried all sorts of different iterations with IF Then or Do While to get the names in the correct line of the report.
i searched for slow loading and found some fast internet packages on <web address removed by moderator>. By following the tips i just purchased now fast broadband but now i am facing the problem of slow loading on my local computer, is it due to any bugg with microsoft package or my system is infected by virus.
I try to open a web page with a form in access 2007. During the loading of the page it shows me 2 security error messages.
I tried to change the properties in Activex and especially the Silent property from No to Yes but this is not possible. In the next restart of the form restores the original settings.
When i open the same page with Internet Explorer it doesn't show any error. I have attached the database example to see exactly what happening.
I'm having trouble getting my form to be "blank" except for the labels upon loading. I've tried putting in some code "on load" but it doesn't clear everything. I haven't had this trouble on some of my other db's, the only difference here is it's a switchboard. I don't know if that matters.
I have a Main Form with a tab control. On each of the six tabs is a SubForm that takes up the entire tab. So basically I have a tabbed interface for my forms, just with a bit more control over the layout than if I just opened the forms separately in the Access window.
Anyway, on one of those subforms is a button. When you click it, it opens a separate form in a pop-up window, which is used to find a specific record. Once that record is found, you can click another button, and the idea is that this pop-up window closes, and you return to the underlying form, which jumps to the record you selected.
So far so good. Now, if I am working on my program in Access, and I open that subform's source form separately in its own tab, click the icon to open the record finding form, find a record, and then click the button to load that record, the following code runs, and it runs flawlessly - closing the pop-up window, and passing the information back to the main form which displays the proper record:
Quote:
Private Sub ViewRecord_Click() Dim RecordID As Integer RecordID = Me.ID DoCmd.OpenForm "CDLExam", , , "ID = " & RecordID DoCmd.Close acForm, "CDLExamCONT", acSaveNo End Sub
Where my program falls apart is that, in actual use, this form is not open on its own. It's open as a subform on one tab of a tab control on a Main Form. So the third line of code falls apart. Access thinks I want to open CDLExam separately, but it can't because it's already open in the subform, so instead I just end up back at the main window like I want, but the form fails to move to the proper record. Basically, line 3 just doesn't do anything.
How can I make this work? I tried replacing "CDLExam" with the name of the main window, but then it tries to move to the record in the main window, which throws an error as the main window doesn't even have a record source attached to it.
how to refer to the SUBFORM which has CDLExam open, and tell THAT to move to the proper record.
A form that used to automatically open when the db was launched has been deleted. However, the instruction to load the form is still in the db. I would like to remove that instruction, but I can't seem to find where to look for that code. In Access 2007, I went on DB to the Database tool menu, but its not in the switchboard manager.
In one of my databases, I have a form and a report where the images stored in my tables are not showing properly for all entries. They show as an icon with the file name rather than the image itself. This is not true for every entry, so I don't think it would be a problem with how the form and report are set-up.
I have put much time in designing a form. After exiting and saving it, I cannot now open it. Only the Page Header shows, and I cannot get into 'Design' mode. I have tried repairing and compacting to no avail. Any ideas?
Hi, When the user clicks on the file name, I want the form to load automatically & also at the same time minimize the database window (i.e. the window where all the tables, queries etc are listed). Any suggestions?
I need to load my Default Form at start up of my database while office button,the Ribbon and the Navigation pane will be hidden. And when i go to form design view then i can use the ribbon and navigation pane.
I have designed a DB in access 2010 and it opens fine on my computer. However, when others I work with (who still have 2003) try to open the database, they get the following error: "An Error Has Occured Trying to Load The Form "Form Name" - Do You Wish to Continue".
When I click Yes, it brings up all of the VBA code in the background, but when i close all of that out, it still doensn't open.I am by no means an access expert.
