How do I set the Required property for field that already exists via SQL. I'm thinking along the lines of: ALTER TABLE table1 ALTER COLUMN field1 text(50) NOT REQUIRED.
But this doesn't work, any clues?
We just upgraded to Access 2003 and I am creating a new database and in my Form... I was trying to set the REQUIRED FIELD PROPERTY to YES, but when I click the Properties of each field, it's not listed.
Has this been removed?

I am trying to change a field to be required. I know where it is...
(Navigation Pane > Design View > Select field I want required > Properties Pane > General Tab > set Required property to Yes)
But I don't see that General Tab at the bottom of my page.
The closest thing I have to properties is on the right-hand side. It opens when I right-click, then hit Properties. It displays...
Format | Data | Event | Other | All... but that's it...

I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem. The problem is that I have a form contains two list boxes controls and a calender control. The calender control is invisible by default.
When I click a Show button, to show the calender contol, it appears but behind the list boxes controls. How can I allow it to fully appear on top of all the controls in the form.
Thanks,
I have never used the tag property but while reviewing some design stuff it occurred to me that maybe I am overlooking it's usefulness and was wondering how some of you may have used it...?

What I required to do is that when amount is greater than or equal to 10000 than Amt multiply by 30 simply.
and when amount is between 10000to 50001 than Amt/1000 multiply by 3.5+3.75
means that when amount is 15000 than according to per 1000 it will be calculated.
please dear help me out in this I required it very very urgently.

Hi All,
I am new to Access and trying to create a database for employee's leave record.
I created table 1 for departments i.e., A, B, C and so on
There is table 2 for employees i.e., Z, X, Y and linked with table 1 for their departments.
There is table 3 where first I have to select department (from table 1) and then employee (table 2).
All I want (in table 3) is:
Once I select department, the next field for employee show its respective employees.
Thanks is advance.
I am fairly new to Access and may very well be trying to walk before I can run.
I have an Excel Spreadsheet that is currently used to produce a Nominal Roll that is listed by the following:
Surname
Enlisted Month
Enlisted Year
POP Month
POP Year
I know how to transfer it across to Access.
I then need to be able to produce lists (The listings order needs to be Enlisted Month/Year then POP Month/Year) that can then be merged into tables 4 columns wide (where at the top of each table is a General Comment) and the names run down in alphabetical order then move across to the next column.
(Basically for example I have 24 names that needs to be divided by 4)
hopefully that is as clear as mud, any help would be greatly appriciated
Please pardon my ignorance, but how do I set up a ActiveX calendar in Access? The help files are missing from the version of Access 2000 I am using, and I really don't know what I am doing. I would be grateful for any help with this.
Thanks.
hello,
I have a txtBox. Its backColor property changes according to what I do on the form. Now, when I close the form and reopen it, the backColor is not the same one with which the form was closed.
Ex. red, green
if I close the form having the backColor = green, then when I reopen it, it changes to red.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing
Thank you
Hi all
I have searched through this forum and on google, and I know that I can refer to a combobox's column property IN VBA by
[myform]![mycombobox].column(1)
When I do this in SQL, it complains that there is an "unidentified function" (column). What am I doing wrong?
I'd like to create a table with 240 fields. I know that the max is 255, however, I'm getting a message "property value too large" after I've created 114. Any ideas? All the number fields are byte size. Thanks!
View 10 Replies View RelatedI build a form with Combo Boxes, and can not find "DropDownList property".
Can anybody help me.
Thanks
I guess I have too many columns in my database and I'm getting the error message "Property value is too large" when trying to open the database table. When I was using Access 2000, I was still able to open the database but using Access 2003, the database will not open. Is there a way around this so I can open the table to fix it?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhat I'd like to do is for my combo boxes to say something like "Select One" when the form is first loaded, until the user opens the box and selects something. My combo boxes work fine now, but they are currently empty when the form loads.
From my google research it appeared that the OnLoad property would probably help me do what I want, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere in Access. It's not anywhere in the property window and the help search doesn't return any results.
I'm using Access 2003 from MS Office Professional Edition 2003.
Am I missing an upgrade or does my version not have this property, or am I just missing it?
Hi all
I have a lstbox on a bound form. the lstbox is based on a query. I want the first item in the box to be selected. This is what ive used:
Private Sub roll_class_select_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.Requery "lststudents"
Me.lststudents.Selected(0) = True
End Sub
But then the form gets stuck. None of the other controls will work. The first list item is selected but it then wants to be the centre of attention and everything else can bugger off.
Any ideas as to how I can fix it??

How can I fix this problem...I think it has to do with the settings when I open the DB but I don't know what the settings should be to make it work correctly.

I have a subform (subform1) which allows me to select a value which then dictates which record is shown in the other subform (subform2). I want to run a macro every time subform2 has a different value -- without me having to click anywhere in subform2. I have tried to attach the macro to every place I can think of and it just doesn't seem to run. I am thinking it is because subform2 isn't receiving the focus. How do I give subform2 the focus and which event property should I be trying for?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to change the background color of an field that has enable = off from the default "gray"? I can set it to transparent but I can't change the font color to see the data clearly.

I have seen someone's database that had tiny circles containing a "?" which, when clicked, opened up a sentence or two. A search for "Tag" on this site strikes out, also.I am hoping to place these little links near fields that may need more explanation. In the ones I have seen before, the little explanation field that popped up disappeared as soon as the focus went elsewhere without the user having to close it. I have succeeded in using the tag property to open a true popup form, but this is clunkier than I want--would just like to learn how to do the other.

Hi. I want to have all my fields on my form to be required and so that the user cant close the form if they are empty (error message). In the table properties I have them set to Required an have tried putting in a validation rule of IS NOT NULL but it still dont work. any help appreciated. thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst of all sorry for the stupid question. I am opening a new business and will recieve a specializes CMS system using Access as the DB. Do I have to buy Access to run it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with the required field option in my table. I have a form that writes to the table and has a validation of the fields built in the code. If the validation is true, then it will allow the record to be saved.
However, I've also set those same fields in the table to be a required field. Whenever I enter data in those fields in the form and click the save command button, I get a message back telling me one of the required fields cannot be null. The thing is, it is not null. I entered data into the field through the form. Whenever I change the required field option to no in the table the problem goes away, but shows up on the very next field in the list that is set to yes.
Validation occurs within the form that writes to the table, but I still would like to have the security of knowing the fields are required in the table as well, just in case someone tries to be sneaky and go directly into the table to enter/modify data.
Is there something I'm missing? Is this a bug? I've actually set up another database the same way and don't have any problems with it. I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
