I want to hide the Navigation Pane as well as the full menus and "special keys". I do that by going to the options tab and removing the appropriate check marks.However, it does not seem to work! No matter how many times I do it, if I hold the shift key, the navigation pane is still there.
View RepliesI thought I had solved my initial problem of removing the apostrophe character for each zip code field. Most of the fields have data that reads '12345-1234'. I want to remove each (') character and the "-1234" so I end up with a zipcode of 12345.
I created 2 queries for this process. I first run a query with the following statement "Left([ZIP],Len([ZIP])-6)". That gets rid of the "-1234' ".
The I run the second query with this statement "Right([ZIP],Len([ZIP])-6)".
These 2 queries work perfectly if the original zipcode is " '12345-1234' ", but if it is " '12345' ", the entire zipcode is deleted.

As a user types, combo boxes have a "live update" function that fills in the rest of the box based on the row source of the combo box. Can a user can use the arrow keys to navigate through the current options based on what they have currently typed?
I'm thinking of something like when you are typing something into an internet search engine, multiple content options appear below and you can either continue typing--thus narrowing the result--or use the arrow keys or mouse to select one of the content options that have appeared.Is there any function similar to this in Access?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy database has several tables (and queries) that have fields that contain people's names. Some names, like O'Neil, contain apostrophes. Other fields contain couple names, like Tom & Laura Jones. Both the ' and the & prevent queries, forms, and reports from working correctly.

View 1 Replies View Related why Access requires primary keys to be automatically generated so that there are no redundancies.We have a specific agreement with another organization that involves different billing system in which they send us purchase orders, each with a unique invoice number, that includes orders for one or more events.In my events table I have included a field to manually enter the PO number for this organization when it's needed.
I would like to have another table for the PO's with a one-to-many relationship with the events table (since each PO may cover multiple events). Is it possible to use this manually entered PO number field as a primary key to establish the relationship?

I am using access 2007
i have a materialsUsed tbl that list all the materials used in a job and the quantity of each.
(ID
Material Code
Quantity
Unit of Measure)
I also have 2 look-up tables - 1 for the material codes and 1 for the units of measure
I have another table, priceperunitofMeasure
id
material Code (FK to material lookup tbl)
Unit of Measure (FK to unit of measure tbl)
Price
In my form Users will select material code from combo box - enter the quantity, and select a unit of measure from a combo box.
For example: they could enter the following :
Paint 2 gallons
Paint 3 tubes
Paint 1 pint
How do I lookup the price per unit of measure for each of these records in the price per unit of meassure table? The price per unit of measure table has 2 foreign keys.
I am wondering why access does not follow its own code all of the time?
For example I have passworded forms following the tutorial on the Microsoft site. It mostly works when the participants fills in the wrong password we will get an error message box and when they cancel the password dialogue box it wont let the person enter the form - but not all the time. Sometimes if you press cancel it still opens the form anyway (without requiring the correct password).
This is similar with the module that I put in to prevent people from using the mousewheel to leave their record etc. Most times it works but sometimes it just isnt called on form load.
There is nothing wrong with any of these codes and when they work they work well but I cant seem to rely on access to do what is supposed to?
I use below simple command line to start a macro in my Access database. Usually all works well. I start my bat file, command is executed and macro does its job.
However it always fails if I have a session of Access already opened even if it is a completely different database. If I use below then it opens another sessions of Access but does not execute the macro. I need to go into the second session and run macro manually. It works fine then.
Code:
"C:UsersMeDocumentsDatabas1.accdb" /X Macro
I have a DB: This DB was sent to me via eMail (dropbox). It consist in a BE and 3 FEs. In each of the FEs I have a started form with some code activated by the Open event.
The issue: Access do nothing when I open the FEs. Note please that the DB is designed by me and it work very well on the user"s computers.
I use A2007 on Win7
The DB is in a trusted folder. Compact and Repair is not useful.
I currently have a "send object" macro which runs when a button is clicked on a report, it makes the report a PDF file and automatically places in my office outlook also places a subject and message into the Email.
what I wonered is there is a limited amount I can put into the body of the email in the field so I wondered if it is possible to use a Email template that is placed into the body and then the attachment is also added? I have tried to use the template file but it doesnt seem to work.
I have a table (Imported from Excel) with In and Out records.
Here are the problems I have:Each record has either In or Out data. I have an identifier to know which ones are In and which ones are Out
It might have some misses, either no In or no Out record for the specific work time. A worker can get in at the evening and get out at the morning of the next day. Might have more then one entrance/exit on the same date.
I want to have the record sorted so I'll have an In and Out on the same row (record) including holes for the missing ones.
is it really possible to make a work flow in access? And if so, can it be done in Ms Access 2010.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhello all, I am very new to access (my background is in VBA Excel, but I am not using VBA for access yet).
I was wondering if some of the more advanced people can give me pointers on how to accomplish (or work my way) to make the kind of form I am trying to do.
What I am trying to do is the following:
I have a vending company with couple of products such as espresso, latte, black coffee, etc.. (all of the products are sold at the same price for each customer, so I might sell the products for company A for .75, but for company B for .55 etc) and I am selling these products to many clients company A, B, C, D, etc. As A start I created a table with my products, then I created a table for my clients (this one includes name, address, contact person, and machine number ).
I would like to make a readout input form where it would get the customer name, machine number, each of the product's total for the readout period (this is usually every week), and the date of the readout. Now I would like the form to add a record in a table for the client machine number that was selected and maybe also in another table for the overall machine ( I am not sure how queries work, and weather I would need that or I can use queries for it).
My ultimate goal is to be able to do the following with the data:
- check (and perhaps graph) the overall statistics for a each of the products for all clients
- do the same for a certain client
- do the same for a certain machine at a client
- check the overall sales of all products to all clients for each month of the year
- do the same for a particular client or for an individual machine
- do the same but for each year
I have done all of this in a VBA Excel based program but I was hoping to change the program to be access based instead of excel based, since this would make the data more centralized and easier to maintain, backup, check, and update.
So if anyone can post any hints or suggestion about how I should build my tables, the usability of quarries, and especially the construction of the forms I would very much thank you for that, since these are my first days getting to know access and I am absolutely confused with it, all the language you are supposed to put into text boxes, combo boxes etc....
Also if anyone knows of any good links to some online tutorials would be great, since most for the tutorials I found on a search was for constructing a for or a query using the wizard, but with no real discussion of how to bound the data to certain fields etc.

I thank you all in advance.
How do I make the windows default navigation work to the following:-Next record that navigates to next, but does not create a new record when at EOF. New record that creates a new record.
I've tried turning off 'Allow additions' for the form, but that turns off the 'New Record' button, so that's not right Perhaps it's me but the default way in which the navigation buttons work is strange. I would have thought the next button would only go next and wouldn't do new.
I have a Access front end connected to a MS SQL database using a ODBC connection which is working fine of course.
When I compile it as a runtime version and install it on the business computer I get an error with the ODBC connection (I can't remember exactly what pops up). On the business computer I have installed SQL Native Client and in the ODBC added a System DSN (which works).
happen- scroll wheel stops working in one table- the rest you can scroll in as usual? I know there can be issues with scrolling when you're missing some driver for your mouse, but this happened all of a sudden to just this one table, so I can't imagine that it's the mouse missing any drivers. I did compact/repair, restarted, and also tried repair of office installation. That table still won't allow scrolling unless you move the scroll bar manually first.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been tasked at my work to create a database for tracking time off from work. I have built several databases in Access 2003 and have now transitioned to 2010 and it is seems to be going well. My past databases have been rather simple data in data out not really that big of a deal. However on this database they need a report that will show them a week view that shows them all the employees regular days off and any additional time off they have schedule in that week.
I have an employee info table that has employee basic info, Emp name, Emp number, Work Week code (which identifies which days off the employee has) Hire Dates (for seniority sorting) and then I have 7 fields listed as D1, D2, D3 and so on until D7 (I will try to explain these fields later).
I have another table (Time Requests) that has 3 fields, Date, Emp number, and Time code (which identifies why they are off work or unavailable to be assigned).
The last table I will refer to has 7 fields, they are Date1, Date 2 – Date7
I now have a form. This form has the 7, fields Date1, Date2 – Date7.
On my form Date1 field is updated by a manager with a date that is a Sunday then Date2 = [Date1]+1,
Date3 = [Date1]+2 and so on until I have all 7 fields showing date from Sunday – Saturday.
These fields are lined across the top in a vertical direction positioned above a subform of the employee info table. So directly below the 7 Date fields are the D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 fields then to the right is the Emp name and Emp number, This gives me a Week view of who is working.
I have been able to get the D1, D2….. fields to show their respective Work Week codes by writing very simple “If Then” statements . So here is where I AM STUCK…When I am showing this week view how do I get D1 –D7 to identify what date they are supposed to be in reference to Date1 – Date7 then compare themselves to the table “Time Requests” to see if they have a match and then set the value of D1, D2 …. to the “Time code” in that table. D1 – D7 need to auto populate and do this for about 50 employees.
Here is a screen shot of what I have so far and where I am stuck: [URL] ....

Does your Tools Reference have an MS Office 15.0 Object Library?
Just had to share this strange occurrence in the VB Code Module:
I use breakpoints all the time, was just using them yesterday.
Noticed that some events seemed to act differently this morning. The front-end was approaching 88 MB (after compress) so it is time for a change anyway.
Created a new blank Access dB (Access 2010) and imported all objects from my last backup revision. Reset the home page and tools References. Matched the settings side by side. As usual, the database shrank from 88 MB to 60 MB. The import all objects will usually compress things about this much.
From the screen shot, put breakpoints in previous code, added a new Lost-focus event and added a message box. None of the breakpoints work. The message box fires on the lost_focus and all of the code in the Click event works fine. But, not a single break point would work.
Totally powered down and restarted the Windows 7 32 bit Enterprise workstation. Still no change.
Took the screen shot of Tool-References from the code module of a two week old archive version. Used it to evaluate my new imported object database.To my surprise, the Microsoft Office 14.0 Object library is now Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library.Also put all the objects back in the same order. Saved and closed the new imported object database.Now, the breakpoints work just fine.
I had failed to reference the Office 15 Object Library and the VBA Extensibility 5.Office 14 Object Library is nowhere to be found except on my 2 week old backup archive.
Is this a Microsoft auto update? Is this what drives the breakpoint in the code module?
