I've created a form based on table DeliveryHeader with a subform based on table DeliveryDetail. The two are linked by Delivery# Supplier#.
On the form, Supplier# is a combobox that lists all suppliers from table Supplier.
On the subform, Material# is a combobox that lists only the materials supplied by the supplier selected with form's Supplier#.
The problem is that this second list always shows the materials of the first listed supplier. For instance, when the form is loaded, it shows delivery #1 with all its details on the subform. Suppose supplier loaded to form is #1.
1) If I use subform combobox, it shows correctly supplier's #1 materials. But then, whatever delivery I navigate, it always shows supplier's #1 materials.
2) If I navigate to another delivery without using subform combobox, suppose I stop on a delivery where the supplier is #4, then subform combobox shows correctly supplier's #4 materials. But then, once again, whatever delivery I navigate, it always shows supplier's #4 materials.
I've spread Me.Requery here and there but without any success. What trick must I apply to force the execution of the query of the subform combobox Material# each time I navigate to a new record on the form?
whenever I run/execute a query in Access it is modifying the first record on the table in which it is calling the data from.For example if the first record might contain the following:
Record A: John Doe, Oct, 2014, Account is Active
And lets say I am running a query to pulling records from Nov 2014.The Month and Year Fields in the above example for Record A gets modified to the query search parameters for Nov.Is there some of of record lock or controls that I need to adjust to prevent this from occurring?
How can I force a field in a form to be updated before the record is saved / changed?
For instance I have a form with information on it and I want to ensure that any time the form is updated the user fills in a section providing the date and by who it has been updated by. I dont want the record to save unless that information has been filled out, and I also want it to take you to the field if you press save and it hasnt been filled out along with an error message.
To try and be a bit clearer. At current I have a Save and New button. This saves the form if dirty and opens a new record.
I want to add in the step that if record has been changed and FieldA has not just been updated then go to fieldA (Showing a message box). If FieldA has just been updated then save record and open new as normal.
My current save & new button properties are as follows (in Macro Editor)
On error Go To Next If [form].[dirty] RunMenuCommand Command SaveRecord End If If [MacroError].[Number}< >0 Message =[MacroError].[Description] Beep Yes Type None Stop macro On Error Go To Fail Go To Record Record New Go To Control Control name Resort Code
My form has a Record Source of qry_Profile, it is a query that shows the user the records of the dogs that they currently own. I want to put a button in the form footer to allow the user to show the records of all the dogs that they have ever owned.
So my question is how do I change the record source with vb.
If the query returns no results, like it should, but I want to force a row with zeroes in it, can that be done? how? i have tried an if statment in all the fields to fill something in if the field is null but that didnt work. i tried using nz but that didnt work. any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
I am trying to take input for my reports based on a query result dynamically for which i dont want to display the Datasheet after the execution of Query ,inturn i am displaying results in Report. Any help on this would be appreciated.
I am a new user to Access. I created couple of forms using wizard, but when I view them, they show me all the available data by default. I want to stop this, if anyone can help me plz.
I have a small issue, but cannot solve it. I have a form with a textbox bound to a time(7) on a SQL server linked table.
Even if I put the format as "Short time 24h" or "hh:mm" it will always come out with seconds, nanoseconds, etc as soon as you change record. I would like to avoid using the "current" event to keep the "hh:mm" at any record change.
I have an issue with my subform, that when opened inside the main form, I want the form to be opened on its last record (which works) and then I want the subform to be opened on the first record regarding that record ID coming from from the main form. The relationship is many to one, coming from the form to the subform. I have tried several code on many events on the subform so it can goes to the first record, but it sometimes goes to the first, othe times ot goes to the third, i don't know why. I have tried the following:
Private Sub Form_Load() DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acGoTo, 1 En Sub
or DoCmd.GoToRecord , idsPreguntas, acFirst 'idsPreguntas is the control name of the record
How can I force a form to open at "New (Blank) Record"? What I want is when a person opens the database it will take them to a default form (I have figured this part out already) but at the "New (Blank) Record".
Ive got a database with a combo box, called "combo1" (with 2 columns). It is unbound but uses a query as its row source. When i select a value in combo1 is places the data from combo1.column(1) into a textbox (text1). I then click the next record button (button1) and it then keeps the same value in combo1 because it is unbound. So i need it that when i go to the next record it displays the value in combo1 that relates to text1.
I have a textbox (Odour), that contains one of four words (Cadaver ( ), Drugs ( ), Explosives ( ) or Money ( ) ), the word is written in by pressing one of four buttons, this works fine.
I now want the user to write in between the the brackets and only the brackets. For example:
The textbox contains Cadaver ( ), I want the user to be able to write between the brackets "Blood".
I seem to recall that there is a way of only allowing the user to type in certain places within a textbox.
My database is tracking Job/Project information. The users must assign the Job Contacts which can be both internal and external (ie: Contracts is a Client Contact, while Engineer is an Internal position)..
tblContactTypes which defines each of the 10 types of job contacts. fldTypeID: fldTitle fldClient fldInternal 1 Contracts True False 2 Engineer False True 3 Other True True
The Job Specific data is stored in tblJob_Contacts
fldJobID (PrimaryKey) fldTypeID (from tblContactTypes) fldEEID for Internal Contacts (from tblEE) fldContactID for External Contacts (from tblClientContacts)
My question is this...How can I force the user to enter the Contact information for Contact Types 1,2,3, and 4 while leaving the remaining contacts types as optional?
I would like a form with combo boxes for the first four Contact Types which must be assigned for every job and then a continuous subform where the user can assign the remaining contact types if needed.
Initially, I planned to store the first four Contact Types as separate fields in the main table (tblJob) - however, distribution lists are needed and it makes more sense for all the contact information to be stored in the same table.
Is there any way to force a field value to be unique and of a set length, but with exceptions?
Let me explain... I have a text field in my table called "employee_number" and this value is always one of the following:
NULL an 8-digit number the word "External"
What I want to do is to force that field to either be NULL, the word "External", or a unique 8-digit number.
Is this possible? Obviously I can't set the source field in SQL to accept unique values only but I wondered if there was any way around it at form level?
I have a table of events, tblActivitiesDates which have an activity type and a date.I have a form which has a datasheet with a query source (a separate datasheet form embedded in this one), and 2 radio buttons. The query that is used uses radio buttons this way:
-Activity Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked a combo box appears, with a list of activity types to choose from. Basically, filtering by Activity Type. -Date Type Filter: A radio button, that when clicked 2 text boxes appear, in which you write the dates between which you want to see the events organized in the table. Basically filtering by dates.
To make reading easier, Activity Type Filter=ATF, Data Type Filter=DTF.There are 4 possible options:
-ATF=ON and DTF=ON -ATF=ON and DTF=OFF -ATF=OFF and DTF=ON -ATF=OFF and DTF=OFF.
For each option, I have written a line of code in the appropriate OnChange/AfterUpdate/Whatnot events in the form: CurrentDb. QueryDef ("qry ActivitiesDates"). SQL = "SELECT..."according to whatever option is currently active.
When I enter values into the form, and instead of embedding my datasheet form I simply open it every time from the navigation pane in a new window, the datasheet is filled appropriately and works 100%. Of course, I have to reopen it every time I change something so the query will rerun.After the table crashes (will be explained soon), I re-embed it to the form before trying it again. The first time I re-embed, no matter what I do, the query doesn't update nor crash.
Say I start with the option ATF=ON, DTF=OFF, it will work fine, updating when needed, but if I tick DTF=ON, regardless of the dates I enter, the table will only change according to the first option (While when open in a new window will show the correct table entries), ignoring the fact that the QueryDef. Sql has changed. Once I tick ATF=OFF, the table crashes and I get the error:"Run-time error'3420': Object invalid or no longer set".The exact same thing happens when I go DTF=ON,ATF=OFF. It ignores the event types I enter, and once I tick DTF=OFF, it crashes with the exact same error.
I added Me.Activities_DS.Form.Requery (datasheet's name is Activities_DS) in every place it should update.
As the post title says, is it possible to force a query to start its table record search at the end of the table and go backwards? The table I'm searching has hundreds of thousands of records and I want to check if any new records have a field with a value that has already been imported into the table. The duplicates would most likely occur near the end of the table and not the beginning, so I see no reason to waste cycles searching records from the very first record in the table.
I need any code or way that whenever any field of a record according to unique ID changed the code must save the changed field name and the current date in a specific field in another table (first field store the ID and the second one detail about changes) with add record mechanism. Suppose I have a table about the information of students with the name std_info and another info_report and when any changes make to the any field of std_info the field number and the unique ID to the table info_report. I want to use this system to record which user make changes to which records.
i have created a new utility DB that has only one form..when it opens I set the startup form "Main" and on the OnOpen event of this form I have some code to open another database and close this one...
this means that whenever i open this database, it opens, opens up the other one and this utility DB closes...and i cannot access it coz it always opens and closes automatically...how can I stop it from executing to be able to edit its VB code?!
I am wondering if it is possible to execute a DTS package via Microsoft Access. I have done a bit of research and cannot seem to really find anything that claims this is possible or how to go about to get it to work. I am running SQL Server 2000 which has quite a few DTS packages ... it would be really neat if I could just create a small interface in Access whereby a form has a few buttons on it that can be clicked and the DTS packages can be executed on the server, this way folks won't need to log on to the server and run the DTS packages via SQL Server Enterprise Manager. What would REALLY be awesome would be if values can be passed between SQL and Access but I think if that is possible it would be quite an animal to achieve (I know it is possible via Visual Basic programming but not really worth all the work to create an independent program just to run a DTS package or pass a value). If anyone can provide me with any information or where to look I would appreciate it.
This is my problem. Almost all the time(90%), I open the main form of my application and a large part of the form is blank(white). If I open it from the Database window it often work well and all the form is visible.
When the bug occur, If I just switch from Access to another application like Internet Explorer and I come agian to Access then all the form is visible.
Is someone ever seen that kind of bug. What that can cause that problem. How can I solve it?
N.B. There is a lot of controls on my form and I guess that bug can be linked with it. Seems like Access is trying to open my form too rapidely.
Using access 2010; i have a form that includes a date field. Is there a way to force the user to only choose a month end date? When the user clicks the date from the popup, they may use 9/1/2013 when the mgr. want them to use only 8/31/2013. I am thinking validation field to put a msg but want to be able to force it not the option.
I have a problem about running SQL statement in VBA code. I will appreciate a looot if you can help me solve the problem ASAP.
I tried to run the following statement in my VBA code to update a table in my database:
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE TBL_GRANTBASEDATA, TBL_QUARTER SET TBL_GRANTBASEDATA.Retire_QTR = TBL_QUARTER!QUARTER WHERE ((([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])<=[TBL_QUARTER]![End_Date] And ([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])>=[TBL_QUARTER]![Start_Date]));"
It turns out that the table will not be updated if I run the above SQL statement with my other VBA codes. (ACCESS doesn't give any error messages even though the database was not updated.) But if I run the SQL statement by itself rather than within the other codes, the database will be updated successfully. (When I set a breakpoint at the above SQL statement and run it manually within the other codes, the database are updated successfully too.)
Apparently, the SQL statement and the other codes don't have any syntax errors. I wonder why ACCESS doesn't execute the SQL statement when the SQL statement is put within the other VBA codes. Is it because the table it tried to manipulate was locked by the other codes?
The following are all the VBA codes including the SQL statement I'm talking about. When I run the following codes together, the database is not modified by the SQL statement (the last sentence). But if I run the last sentence and the other codes separately, the database was modified successfully.
Dim rstDataLoad As New ADODB.Recordset With rstDataLoad Set .ActiveConnection = cnnSHELL .CursorType = adOpenKeyset .LockType = adLockOptimistic .Source = "SELECT TBL_GRANTBASEDATA.* FROM TBL_GRANTBASEDATA;" .Open End With
'Calculate Retire_Date rstDataLoad.MoveFirst Do While Not rstDataLoad.EOF
Calculation omitted.
rstDataLoad.MoveNext Loop rstDataLoad.UpdateBatch rstDataLoad.Close Set rstDataLoad = Nothing
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE TBL_GRANTBASEDATA, TBL_QUARTER SET TBL_GRANTBASEDATA.Retire_QTR = TBL_QUARTER!QUARTER WHERE ((([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])<=[TBL_QUARTER]![End_Date] And ([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])>=[TBL_QUARTER]![Start_Date]));"
I'm using hte Shell() function but this doesn't wait for the executable file to finish so I'm looking for a command line function that would wait until the executable file is finished executing...
I saw this function WaitFor but it is not supported in MS-Access? So, what do I do?
