I am trying to increase a text box field size from 64 characters to 100. I know text fields can hold 255 characters, but whenever I make the change and try to save it, a warning pops up."Not enough diskspace or memory"
View RepliesI've built a function that open a form in Design mode, read records from a table about appointments and create a grid with textboxes representing one appointment each. On the left there are labels with hours and as column headers there are doctors names. Practically each column shows each doctor's daily appointments (it is a medical clinique).
Every time i change the date all controls are deleted and rebuilt.
But after three or four day I pass I get a message of memory limit.
The question is general : Why the memory finish if I close every variable I use during the creation with the instruction:
set frm = nothing
set newTxt = nothing
rst.close
set rst = nothing
Trying to run an Access report and getting the error, "Not enough space on the temporary disk".
We can't figure out what disk they are referring to. There are not a load of temp files. In the past when I have gotten a space error, it was generally from opening and closing too many MS apps without having shut down at some point.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'd like to know if this is possible and if so, how to do it.
I have a couple of text fields, let's say text1 and text2. I would like the following functionality:
if text1 = "somevalue"
then allow entry into text2
else disable entry into text2
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have a db with around 400 records. It contains user's basic information such as first name, last name, supervisor...
Problem is that one supervisor can be multiple users supervisors so they are showing up a lot each time I use the search tool. Is there a way to disable searches on the supervisor field?
Hi guys,
I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.
This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!
I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!
I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?
I appreciate any help/advice
cheers
I have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code:
SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU
FROM Calls
GROUP BY Calls.SKU
HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null))
ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.
Hi,
I have searched for an answer to this question a lot, but I could not find it. I hope anyone can help me with the following:
I need to do a database in MS Access; however, there is so much information and some of it is not related. After normalising it, it looks like I need a number of tables. Is there a limit to how many tables you can have on Access? And how many tables is the recommended size?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a field in my database (I'm using Access 2007) configured as Attachment under the DataType column on DesignView.
I was expecting to find an option to limit the attachment size (max 250Kb) and more importantly to limit the filetype you can actually upload. In my specific case only jpg should be attached.
I have two tables linked by ID (Table1,Table2)
The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.
ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)
1, Make a cup of coffee,15
Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.
ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)
1,Sally,10
1,Eddie,5
What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.
Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)
The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.
I have a DB with 4 tables:
Property (used for look-up values)
Service Type (used for look-up values)
Rate Table (uses the Property Table and Service Type Table and is used as a rate look-up table for the daily service table noted below)
Daily Service
Using the Daily Service table, I need to choose a property, choose a service type that is limited to the property (100's of service types, but a property may only have a limited number), and enter a quantity, and have the Rate Table return the specific cost of the service. I didn't think this was too hard in Access (2013), but I seem to be hitting a wall and spending too much time figuring it out. Now I am behind in my project.
I have been trying to do this in a table format, but have been unsuccessful in limiting the results of the Service Type combo box based on the property chosen.
I have a form where my users can enter labor line items for various jobs. FOr each line item, they can specify the product and color to be installed. Now, I realize that the CORRECT way to do this is to have a table for products. However, since I am not touching inventory with this application, I am setting it up for them to simplye type it into a text box.
Is there anyway to set up the text box with "memory" so that as they type in the entry, it will start to "guess" what they want by previous entries? Similar to the way a combo box operates.
Thanks,
Hammy
I have seen this problem somewhere but could not find the solution.
I have dbase opened with db window hidden. When exiting the db, access application resides in the memory.
I can see it in task manager, processes.
the code i have is:
Private Sub cmdExit_Click()
CloseCurrentDatabase
DoCmd.Quit acQuitSaveAll
End Sub
What is wrong with it ?
Im building a new database using Access 2003 SP2 on windows XP SP2 with 1 GB RAM.
When i try to execute the following line of VBA code I get an "out of memory" error:
Form_Confirmation.txtDept = cboDept.Text
Before this line of code I don't query any data or open any DAO connections, Im only checking the entered values in various text boxes and combo boxes on a form. I have also tried rebooting my computer and it still gets stuck at the same line.
What i basically want to do is just move data entered into text boxes on a shipping order form i created and present that data on another form to confirm the entered data. The error occurs when i try to move data from one form to another. The database is still only 1MB with only 5 tables, each with only a few records in them just for testing.
Do i need to install a service pack or download something to fix this error?
Just cant seem to find anything on this although i'm sure there is?
I've got a query and with one table in it or the other the records show up fine, but as soon as i include the second table the results come up blank.
What am i doing wrong?
Just cant seem to think?
Thank you in advance
I've done it a hundred times before but do you think I can remember?
On a form in data entry mode, I have a combo box with two columns. You can assign the value from one column to a field on the form when creating the combo box.
How do you assign the value from the second column into a different field.
I'd like to thank you for you assistance but I can't remember what I asked.
:)
I have 5 combo boxes on a form. Everything worked well until I had to make some changes in the tables - I had to change the data type of primary key columns from Long Integer to GUID!
Now, my combo boxes are bound to GUID data fields, and when a user scrolls through records - I have huge memory leak (about 40KB per record)!
And no matter how long you scroll through the same recordset, every time the current records is changed - I loose 40KB of my memory!
When Bound Column of Combo box is not GUID data type - I have no problem with memory leak!
Any suggestions?!?!?
What to do?
Thanks in advance!!!
I'm getting an error when trying to run a report. "There isn't enough memory to perform this operation. Close unneeded programs and try the operation again."
1.) I tried to install both the V-Tools and Rick Fisher add-ins, and neither one could be added. I got errors from both.
2.) I'm working with a small test database to create a report. Db is tiny, 1.8Mb. But I've also created a report which has several embedded subreports. Everything is based off of queries which certainly have to sort through some data.
3.) I have compacted and repaired.
