I have reinstalled Access 2010 due to a computer malfunction. I had customized my Dictionary with about 2000 abbreviations for medical specific words: gast for Gastroenterology for instance. Saves tons of typing. I have never been able to save my dictionary just in case something like this happens. And, It's happened before. I may have saved(unsure) once, but it was years ago on Access XP-2003, somewhere in that time frame and was never able to find it if I did. So I am reentering all these words again. It would sure be nice to be able to add them by Anything! but going File/Options/ Proofing/ Auto Correct Options and then entering my shortcuts. that's 4 steps each time. It would seem to me that if you can add the Auto-Correct icon in Word to the Word ribbon, Access should be able to do this. There is no icon i can find in Customize Ribbons/ All Commands. My Word Dictionary does not -never has- synced with Access' Dictionary.
I currently have a database set up with three basic forms:
Form 1 = Main menu with options to go to Form 2 and Form 3
Form 2 = Employee information form which includes email address
Form 3 = Employee document upload form
My goal is once the Employee is registered in Form 2 they can then upload a document in Form 3. When they upload this document and fill out other parameters Including their bosses name (which is captured as a record in Form 2) they click "Submit Form." I would like for this submit form button to populate an email that is updated to send to the selected "Bosses name"
Currently on the Submit form button I have:
Private Sub Submit_Record_Click() DoCmd.SendObject _ , _ , _ , _ "email .com", _ <-- this is what I want to autopopulate with the correct persons email (as well as their name below) , _ , _ "***A new Lab Report has been submitted for your review***", _ "Bosses name," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please log into the Report Database and review the latest pending report. If you have any questions please contact the sender." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "This is an automated response generated from Microsoft Access." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Sincerely," & vbCrLf & "ESBU Lab Report Database", _ False DoCmd.Close End Sub
I am building a db and i want to disable the Shortcut Menu (pull down menu at form's title bar) to prevent the users from closing the main form.
There is a Disable Shortcut menu setting in the File/Options menu but the whole db gets the setting.
I simply want to deny the users from accessing the Shortcut Menu when on the Main Menu (or a particular form) but allow it on other forms where Printing is required via the Shortcut Menu.
Im looking at 2 options; edit the shortcut menu or force a form to disable that w/o affecting other forms.
how to customize my right click "Short-cut" menu in Access 2010. I need a right click menu with ONLY the "Print" and "Print Preview" options for my reports and I would like to disable right click in all other objects.
Using ms access 2010, I created a table called all items contains the ID, item name, item code, item price.
Second table I created called orders, contains item1,Q1=quantity,Tot1=calculated field.
Then a form to fill the orders table with a combo box for Q1 (gets the value from a table called numbers), second combo box for item1 (gets the value item code and item price from the table all items), and a text box to calculate the total of the Q1-item1(item price) All working perfect except the combo box for item1 ends up displaying a different item code that's only if the items were at the same price, for example, I choose latte from the combo box gives me correct item price but the code is cappuccino, only happening with items with the same price.
If I set the property of the combo box Bound Column to 1, I get correct item code but calculation error, Bound Column to 2, I get correct calculations but wrong item code. how to get the combo box to display the correct item code?
I have created a member data base form in Access2010.
That has been populated with 366 member records
I have two text box fields that are currently free type fields, Member Type & Member Status.
What is the best way I can change these to show only the relevant options:
i.e. Member Type ( Full, Family, Pensioner, Life. ) Member status ( Current, Lapsed, Deceased)
I have tried to right click the field but the "change to" option is greyed out & not available.
I have also tried to insert a combo box or list box to show these options. The "use control wizard" option has been highlighted but when I drag either a combo box or list box into the form. the wizard does not activate.
I have a database to track temporary decertification's. I have the expiration and max dates calculated out from the original dates at the top of each box. The temp expiration date is calculated by adding 267 days from the first date . When we enter an extension, the new expiration date is 30 days from the extension date. My question is, how can I make the expiration date update when a new extension is put in.
For ex.
Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014 Temp Decert Extens 1: Temp Decert Extens 2: Temp Decert Extens 3: Temp Experation Date: 31 Aug 2015 Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015 how can I make the expiration date update to go 30 days from what is in the extens field 1, 2, and 3 (respectively) instead of 267 days from the original date? So I want it to look like this after updating a field Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014 Temp Decert Extens 1: 30 Aug 2015 Temp Decert Extens 2: Temp Decert Extens 3: Temp Experation Date: 29 Sep 2015 Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015
I have staff table which is a lookup field on the phone call table.when the phonecall form opens I want the employee field to auto fill in the employees name from the lookup field according to there security level.so something like this
On Open Select Case Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) Case X = 4'the employees security level' Case X = Insert Table_tblPhoneCalls!EmployeeID"4" into Form_frmPhoneCalls!Employee. End Select
of course this is a syntax error as I do not know the correct code words.
How to create custom menus in Forms in MS ACcess 2010. For example, I have a form fmrMainMenu. At the top of the form I want to create a menu labelled "Reports" that when clicked or hovered it displays a list of sub-menu options of all the Reports available in the database. Once the user makes a selection the report is generated. The functionality that I am looking for is similar to the old menu options like File, Edit, etc., in MS Office.
Access 2010 keeps changing the Capitalization of objects when I don't want it to.
For example "Cancel" becomes "cancel". Later it will be changed back to "Cancel".
There is also a table with a field "FULLNAME". Several Queries build a field "FullName". As a result FullName, even in places like Application. CodeProject.FullName get changed to Application.CodeProject.FULLNAME.
(Track Name AutoCorrect is off. ) It is especially irritating because I export the code to text files and check it into source control. Sometimes dozens, or even hundreds, of files will show up as changed because Access did it's rename thing.
I just learned about Access 2007 since two days ago. I was assigned to do a database on the competency test records for my company.
I currently have 2 tables: tblCompetencyRecord and tblSections.
In tblSections, I have sectionname and sectionhead. PK is the sectionname.
I created a form from tblCompetencyRecord.
I have employee name, employee number, position, section, section head, test period, status and remarks on my form (like wise in my tblCR).
Now, I want to get Section field (combo box) to auto fill the Section Head field. I've searched high n low (i think), but i just couldn't figure it out.
I have a MS Access 2010 application when the User opens form CONTACTS Form
◦User finds single record to be used CONTACTID is identifier to be used for selection ◦User clicks button to open form frm_MAIL_MERGE ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has a drop down combo box that reads the folder location where the application resides and displays all .DOTM files (that is all template files) and one more combo box which contains the CONTACTID. ◦User selects single .dotm file for merge ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has either drop down to select CONTACTID or UNBOUND data field for user to type in CONTACTID number ◦User enters CONTACTID to be used for the mail merge ◦User selects SUBMIT ◦Application merges selected .dotm file with the information in table CONTACTS for the selected CONTACTID ◦Merged document is saved on the user Desktop as xxx.docx
Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
I have created a db in which the front end has been distributed around the office and opened in runtime. The basic function of the db is to track current projects and contact between ourselves and clients.
When we have update meetings we use the large screen TV to view the db but it only takes up one small corner of the screen and is near on impossible to read.
I would like to know if there is any way that the picture can be stretched to fit the screen that it is being displayed on? Or would I have to create a separate version for the large screen so that people can read?
I remember there is shortcut keys for input field name when creating a queries. For example, when we try to create a query to combine field [firstname] and field [lastname] from customer table and we use: fullname:[firstname]+" "+[lastname]; instead of input this expression {fullname:[firstname]+" "+[lastname]} key by key, is there shortcut key that can input [firstname] into expression?
Code: Private Sub Command26_Click() If Forms![test site]![prp test].Form.[A Right Answer] = -1 Then Forms![test site]![number correct] = Forms![test site]![number correct] + 1 End If DoCmd.FindNext End Sub
Then when clicked it checks a yes/no box to see if "A right Answer" is the correct yes. Then it should pop to the main form and take the number correct cell and add one to it. I am trying to get the record to go to the next record inside the sub-form but docmd.findnext seems to be wrong too.
I got the following code from this forum to create shortcut on the desktop.. ================== Set objShell = New WSHShell Set objShortcut = objShell.CreateShortcut(objShell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop") & "" & sShortcut) objShortcut.TargetPath = sDB objShortcut.WindowStyle = "3"
objShortcut.SAVE ================= I have Access 2003..but file format is 2000 because others have access 2000. This code works great on my machine..but getting error on access 2000 machine..It does not recognize "New WSHShell" in the above code.
-------------------error message Compile Error: User-defined type not defined -------------------
I have developed an application and packed it into a runtime version. However, in the runtime version the shortcut menus do not work. The reason why I want the user to have that possibility is that the application has two hyperlink fields and it is much easier for the users to be able to browse to the documents instead of typing each link with all the errors that might give as well. Any help would be appreciated.
We have an old Access 2000 db that is used by most of the company. I also have users who use it via a windows 2003 terminal server. I just created a new win 2008 remote desktop server and installed Access 2000 (What a pain that was).
Now from access, if I go to fileopen, navigate to the DB server and open the DB, it works fine. If I create a shortcut to the database on the desktop of the remote server, nothing happens. No error, no warning, no nothing. It's weird.
If I place a copy of the db locally, it opens just fine.I also tried mapping a drive to the db server and then made another shortcut and still nothing. I also created a shortcut and entered the path like this:
I read in the book (Access 2013 inside out), one of the way to distributing access database is creating an application shortcut.
Now i have an Access 2013 file on my computer (with office 2013 and windows 7) other users have office 2007 and windows (XP) on their computers. now i want to give a copy of this file to other users without save as that to 2007.
I would like to know how i can do that with creating an application shortcut , if it is possible because in the book I could not find the way if there is?
I have a problem with making a (simple!) search form work in Access 2000. I wrote the code in (what i believe to be) Access 2000 version, and it runs on my machine that is Access 2002-3. The search form uses VBA code; an if-then logic for 3 fields that are chosen by the user, and discounts fields that are not selected. The code then filters results from a query based on 2 tables and presents these in another form.
This all works fine on my pc, and on others using Access 2002-3, with macro security set at medium (and macros approved to run). However, the search form does not work on pc's running Access 2000. I do not know the security levels for these pc's but please if anyone knows of what may be causing this... please help!!
I was doing a project for school where I had to make a text field that would only accept the options Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)
I thought I did it right by having a line with the field name as "Client Type" and the input as "text" with a field size of "3". and the description I put was "Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)". But it doesnt work. I saved and everything. It will let me enter anything I want as long as it doesnt exceed 3 chars. I want it to ONLY accept RET, SER, or DIN and I want it to format it so its in CAPS.
My end goal is to display an image for every row on a report and/or form.I reviewed the various options for that, and finally decided the best thing to do would be to put the images in a separate folder in my PC, and put the path for the image in a column in the main(primary) table.In my form or report, I put an Image Frame, and put the ImagePath column in the Control Source. All is well and good.
However, I realize the inherent problem with having the full path in every single row, since I could move the image folder and I'd be hosed.So, I created an Environment Variables table, and I have a column called ImageFolder. Then I changed the name of the column in the primary table to ImageName instead of ImagePath. My hope was to be able to concatenate ImagePath and ImageName as the Control Source on the form and report.
I couldn't figure out a way to do that, since they are in two different tables, with no direct relationship between the tables.For the report, I created a workaround by creating a query of all the fields, including a field which concatenated the path and the ImageName. But since I use the form/ sub form to update the records, that wouldn't work for the form. My next attempt was to try to add an ImagePath back again to the primary record, but to have it default to the value that's in the EnvironmentalVariables table.
Is there any way to restore menus/editibility when they have been removed using ACCESS OPTIONS > CURRENT DATABASE then uncheck 'allow full menus'? Database was created in Access 2007. I always keep a back up of the pre-menu-disable state of my databases, but this is someone elses for which I can't find a backup.
