Network FE/BE Issue? - Complex Form/Subform Failing To Load
Dec 7, 2006
Hello all,
I have created a FE/BE database which is operating on a network. There is one FE for each person (approx 150) all accessing 1 BE. There are at most, maybe 10 people using it at once. The database has been working well for about 2 months.
My problem is not with data corruption (touch-wood!), but with a complex form.
The Form is split into a Header/Footer, with a Detail section containing a subform. The main form filters records that appear on the subform. The subform is continous, with several conditional formatting cells per record.
Most of the time it works fine, but occasionally, the main form opens, but the subform fails to load/open. All I see is a white page with the main form header displaying correctly along the top 1/3rd of the screen. No error message is displayed. If I print the page using a Report (The subform and Report use the same query) the page prints perfectly with all records showing.
I have seen this problem on several different workstations, only to try again later to see it working (having closed the db, logging off then back on again)
I am at a loss with this one. Is it a problem with Access or the network? I am unable to find anything similar to this problem on the forum. Can anyone shed any light on it?
I have a Report containing a sub-report which holds the pictures. Typically there are 3-4 pictures per A4 page and 2-3 pages, so not millions, but for some reason whenever I load I get between 1-3 pictures a page and the rest show as blank. I can repeatedly reload time after time and get a seemingly random number of successful images.
The original images are on a network drive (but connectivity is good). They are high quality images but the load time isn't that bad (Is there a 'normal' load time for these things?) I wonder if it's just timing out after the first X pictures..
I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.
I have inherited a buggy database thas has a simple piece of code that won't behave the way I think it should! The code should add a new record and have that new record appear on the list form (where the button On_Click event is called) making it available for user edditing. In 99% of cases though, the blank new record does not appear. The record is getting created, as i can see it in the table and have added a watch to the RecordCount property, it just doesn't display automatically. The existing workaround for users is to click a second button that invokes a simple one line function sub that performs only a Me.Requery. The user presses that up to two or three times before the new blank record finally appears.
One solution I read about, but hesitated in trying due to the unprofessional 'flash' that occurs, was to close the form and the re-open it...anyone experienced this or can comeup with a neat workaround?
The code
Private Sub CmdAddRule_Click()
Dim db As AO.Database, intnextseq As Integer Dim TestThis As String Set db = CurrentDb() Dim rstDao As DAO.Recordset Set rstDao = db.OpenRecordset("select * from stblAllocRules order by intRUSequence desc;", dbOpenDynaset) If rstDao.RecordCount > 0 Then intnextseq = rstDao!intRUSequence + 1 Else intnextseq = 1 End If With rstDao .AddNew !AutRU_id = 0 !intRUSequence = intnextseq !bytAppendBack = 1 !bytUpdateBack = 0 !bytDeleteBack = 0 .Update .Close End With
Set rstDao = Nothing Set db = Nothing
Me.Requery Me.Repaint 'I have used this staement in addition to and instead of the Me.Requery to no effect Me.Recordsource = Me.RecordSource 'I have used this statement also in addition to the above to and in isolation, to no effect. End Sub
I was wondering if it is possible to load multiple forms into one subform? For example: I have form [SO2Menu] and form [Critical]. Can I have one subform in a main form that by the click of a button ill load either menu depending on the users selection?
There are 2 issues I am trying to figure out for an Access2007 form:
1) I should first state that I am working off of 3 tables: a) Marketers b) Companies that belong to those marketers c) Points of Contacts (POC) for each Company
2) In my frmMain, I have 2 combo boxes. The first loads the second and the second loads a CompanyID text field (IDc) that the subform bases for which record info to pull. How do I get the CompanyID (and subform) fields to load blank upon form open and until the 2nd combo box selection is made?
3) A company that doesn't have any POCs entered yet won't load its CompanyID even though it DOES have an ID number. Well the Id not being changed doesn't change the POC info either. I am guessing it's because there is no info to fill in the subform yet. However, I need to be able to still pull up the blank fields so I can ADD a POC.
The problem I am facing is applying an IF statement to every record in the detail section of the subform.
I have the following code:
Code: If Me.status = "CONFIRMED" Then Me.course_ref.Enabled = False Me.course_date.Enabled = False Me.cmbModule1.Enabled = False Me.cmbModule2.Enabled = False Me.course_start_time.Enabled = False Me.course_end_time.Enabled = False Me.course_training_cost.Enabled = False End If
This is in the on load event of the subform and works 'sort of'
Basically I have a record with the status of confirmed and records without this status, but the result of the if statement is being applied to all records. Is this because I need some sort of loop? and if so how would I loop through all records in the detail and apply this if statement to them all?
well i am trying to make a very simple program that would help me learn the capitals of each country. yes it is a weird thing to do but i just it might help. anyway i started doing it using access and made a table with three columns primary key number, country and capital. I started making a form and im tryin to make it so the program would randomly pick a country and i would have to choose from a list box the capital and i would have a command button which when i click will tell me if i am right or not and if i am not then it would say the right capital. How should i do this? p.s ino the basics of using the code builder help much appreciated.
I have a form which is used for entering holiday requests.
It has fields such as name, type of holiday, date from and date to but it also has a list box value. This list box contains the number of days between the date from and date to and exludes weekends and bankholidays using data from a table. The data from the form is inserted into a table using an sql string when the submit button is pressed. The problem I have is that the sql does not pick up the number of days from the list box unless I click on the list box before I click on submit. It is almost as if the value is in the list box but it is simply not recognised by the sql unless I select the list box using the mouse. I have tried to select the list box using code when the submit button is pressed but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas how I can over come this or perhaps how to physically select the list box so it is highlighted when the submit button is pressed??
I have a main form with two subforms. One of the subforms in turn has three subforms.
It is a music database. The main form has title information, one subform has the group/artist. The other subform has song information (side, track, title running time) and subforms for performer, composer and conductor.
I am at a loss as to how to efficently navigate back and forth. All of the subforms (except song titles) are datasheet view using combo boxes. For lack of a better way there is a "Done" button after each row. Click the Done button moves the user to the next form.
I have custom Navigation buttons for the main form. The form works fine, it is just a pain to navigate.
I have other issues with it but this is enough for now. I started writing the database in Access 2000 and it is now being used with Access 2003. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Hello! I am trying to build a search form, based on a table.
Here's the table layout:
Employee Competencies --------------- EE Name Competency Proficiency Years of Use Recency of Use
I need to be able to select multiple competencies, and/or associated levels (the rest of the fields). At first, I did a filter by form, but the problem with this is that I can only search "OR's" and I need to be able to search "AND's" as well.
Here's what I want: Basically, a user would select six competencies and associated levels, and the form would open to a report listing each of the matched employees' competency sheets.
I've tried query by form, as explained on the Microsoft Knowledge Base and it doesn't work. I'm going to try to upload a stripped down version to make things clearer. I'm desperate and running out of time. Thank you for any help!
Okay, my file's too big to upload, so hopefully, I've described this well enough. Thanks!
I am trying to issue multiple INSERT statements in a row - but it seems that only the first succeeds. If I put a 1-second delay between attempts, suddenly they all succeed (so I know the statements themselves are all valid, it's not a data issue).
These are all being issued in a loop from the same thread, so as far as I can see unless the data is being inserted asynchronously, I can't see any problem. If it is being done asynchronously - how are we supposed to know one INSERT succeeded and thus we can issue the next one?
Anyone have any idea why this might happen? I don't want to leave 'magic delays' in the code!
I have 3 table table; Invoice table, Product table and Sale_product table. Sale product table records all sale from the product table
Invoice table has these fields ID TOTAL CASH_TENDERED CHANGE
Product table has
ID CODE QUANTITY NAME PRICE
and Sale_Product table has these ID PRODUCT_CODE QUANTITY PRODUCT_NAME PRICE SUBTOTAL INVOICE
I did main form from Invoice table and sub form from Sale_product table. I want to use DLOOKUP function to load the name and price, quantity and calculate subtotal automatically from the product table based on the product code entered. i have being trying hard and i keep on getting "Name? error"
I have a form with 47 subForms, and Form.Controls.count is 351. The sub forms were originally text boxes, which got changed to ListBoxes because of customer requests, then to subforms because of conditional formatting needs that the customer wanted. Now, when it is open, other forms give sporadic "System Resources Exceeded" errors. I'm pretty sure it is this form that is causing the errors, as it is always open when they occur. (Only consistent factor.) Task Manger - Processes shows that closing this form releases 723 "User Objects", and almost 400 GDI objects.
Is it time to switch to a different development tool? Visual Basic? C++. Is it possible to rewrite the single form as a standalone and keep using the rest of the Access App? (Almost 60,000 loc in 200 objects.)
Hello I'm helping a friend with an access project and the Referential Integrity check is failing for some reason unknown to me. I recreated the entire database from scratch and added all relationships before adding any data and then added in the data. The tables giving me problems are the following:
Orders Table: OrderID - Primary Key Autonumber, Format:1000, Indexed: Yes(No Dupes) CustID - Number, foreign key to a customers table, 1-many relationship SalesID - Number, foreign key to a sales table, 1-many relationship ShippingID - Number, foreign key to a shipping table, 1-many relationship 3 different date fields and a price field
This table is filled with data.
Order Details Table: ItemID - Primary Key Autonumber, Indexed: Yes(no dupes) OrderID - Number, Dec. Places: Auto, Required: Yes, Indexed: Yes(dupes OK) RingID - foreign key to rings table, 1-many relationship StoneID - foreign key to gemstones table, 1-many relationship Ring Size - number
There is no data in the order details table.
The Orders to Order Details is a 1 to Many relationship with ref integrity and cascading updates and deletes enforced.
When I try to manually type in a record I get the "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'Orders'" even though I added a lookup list box listing all the OrderIDs from the Order table. I know I'm typing in a valid OrderID number, but it's not taking it and throwing this error.
I've got a query pulling data from a view I created that gives all the data I need. The query gets it's criteria from a form with 10 combo boxes, a radio box with 3 options and 2 date fields for the timeframe to run the report in.
The issue: over half the columns of data that the radio buttons can limit results by have null values but only two of the columns are excluding records where the values in them are null. As any combination of the combo boxes are null I'm using the following format for my criteria per column IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption]),[Installer_from_Web],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption]) That is an example of a column that works, the following is a column that is excluding null values no matter what I do IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption]),[ProductType],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption]) I am not seeing the error and could use some thoughts.
I have 1 form lets call it Form1 which has a text box called say textBox1(along with many other form components), the will find record they want and then click a button, which i want to open a new different form (Form2) and set a text box on that form (textBox2) to the value of the textBox in Form1.
Dim tmp As String tmp = VolunteerID.Value
DoCmd.OpenForm "Comment", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acWindowNormal DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec 'To obtain that varibale was read. MsgBox (tmp) 'Not sure if this is needed 'VolunteerID2.SetFocus VolunteerID2.Text = tmp
I have some trouble getting a form to open maximized. This form is opening from a switchboard that is centered and not sizable. After clicking on a command button in the switchboard the form I am having trouble with opens in its own window, but I cannot get it to maximize automatically. I have been to every setting I know on the form properties but for some reason nothing seems to be able to get that form to open maximized.:confused:
How do I load a form from another form? I would prefer to use VB (in fact, its probably the only way you can do it!). I have tried varius commands that would have worked in VB - but dont work in Access, like...
The above code does not work AT ALL. It gets an error at the Unload Me line, an error at the Load Form_tblClients line, and the action 'Show' does not even exist under Form_tblClients, so that wont work either!
I am aware of Switchborads, but i want to know how to load a form, and make it pop up in a new window from within another form.
I have a OLE Object field in my Access table. It has a blob (long binary data) already in it. It is a very small .bmp image. How do I get this image from the table loaded in a form to it displays the image? I tried setting this value to a image box, bound object field on form load but nothing is working. Any help would be great. Thanks
I have 3 forms. The only form a user will ever see is F_Main
F_MAIN (Just loads the 2 forms below within itself) F_Data_Short (Grid View.. Rows and Columns.. All Records.. Shows some fields) F_Data_Long (Single Record View.. Showing all fields)
F_MAIN -> On the left is F_DATA_SHORT -> On the Right is F_DATA_LONG
How can I set it.. When a record on the left included form is clicked.. it loads that same record on the right included form. No pop ups...
I know I can use the On Click option for the form on the Left... and set code or a macro to the load the data on the right. I tried everything and can't seem to get the data to load on the right when a record is clicked on the left...
