Trying To Customize The Sample Contact Management DB
Jun 20, 2005
Hi,
I need to customize the sample Contact Management DB (CONTACT) that comes with MS Access 2000.
I removed the field ‘Region’ in the ‘Company’ table, in the ‘Company’ form, and in the ‘ContactAddress’ query, respectively. Now, when I try to access the ‘Enter/View Contacts’ form through the Main Swithboard's button, it shows a small warning windows asking to ‘Enter Parameter Value’, referring to "Company.Region." What did I wrong and/or should I do to correct this problem?
I'm new to this forum so if I ask something stupid please forgive :)
I want to do something like the contact management database which is offered by microsoft for download.
I played a little with it and my problem is I copy-pasted the "calls" tab and on the pasted tab when I browse throug the different calls the call notes field below wont change / update. I thought there is maybe a macro behind it but I looked at every macro and did not find anything appropriate in my opinion.
It is maybe only a minor but I can not figure it out,
Thanks for any help in advance,
Leslie
PS.: I uploaded the database to rapidshare : http://rapidshare.com/files/1305209/Contact_management_database.mdb
In a contact management DB I want to be able to record the addresses of a number of contact people and braches of the same company. In other words, a company has several branches and I want to record their different street addresses. What settings do I need to specify in the field "CompanyName" or elsewhere?
Another question is how to set a Text box, especifically "CityName," so the name of the city fill out the text box when I start typing the first letter of the city name but without using a predefined list of city names.
Ok, I got this template from the Microsoft Office template site. I want to customize it a bit, but I have been trying and trying and cannot get it to do what I want. I would like to get rid of the - after the postal code, so that it looks like 68214 instead of 68214-. I have attached the file if anyone is willing to take a look and edit it for me or if you could try it out and explain how to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm currently using Microsoft Access 2000. In there I've created a Customized Menu. Now what I'm looking to do is - when I click a menu item, I want it to enable another menu item. I tried using "SetMenuItem Action" but it keeps on telling me that this function only works with customized menus. I'm sure I created a customized menu.
Thanks for all your numerous help. I posted this earlier, but got no response, your urgent help is required.
I usually get 2 error messages on my form.
When I set up the table, I made the date field mandatory. The first error message, error 3314, "The field 'Memo.Date' cannot contain a Null value because the required property for this is se to True. Enter a value in this field"
I would like to change this error message to: "Enter Date of Memo"
The second error is: Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time error '490': Cannot open the specified file
End Debug buttons.
I would like to change this error message to: "The file does not exist/it has not been previously saved."
And I don't want the End or Debug buttons to show.
I would like to create my own input mask for a ssn field. The problem is that my ssn field has 13 characters (text) and the following format 000-00-0000xx.
The xx stand for any additional 2 characters.
Is there a way I can create an input box for a similar format? Thanks.
When we use DoCmd.SendObject, the object name is always the same name of table, query or report.Can we customize object name to something else more descriptive? For example:
If I send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about John Smith, the object name now is "SalesPerSalesman.pdf" If i send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about Maryann Johns, the object name would be again "SalesPerSalesman.pdf"
However , the object name I would like "SPS_JohnSmith.pdf"and the report for Maryann Johns, I would like as object name "SPS_MaryannJohns.pdf"
Syntax DoCmd.SendObject ObjectType, ObjectName, OutputFormat, To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, MessageText, EditMessage, TemplateFile ObjectName � Name of table, query, Report etc.
i have a combo box on a payment form which shows existing permit #s. i'd like to make the sort order show the most recently added permit first. i clicked on the build button next to RowSource on the data tab of the properties of the combo box which opens the query my combo box is based on. there are only 3 sort order options...ascending, descending, & not sorted. can this be done?
the permits form has a button to open the payments form (payments can also be opened alone too - ie. if somone applies for a permit today but pays for it tomorrow...). usually this will not be the case but that is why i have to keep it either combo or list.
I just split my DB into a front end and a back end. I only want the users to have access to 2 forms in the DB because the form already has buttons that link to all other forms and reports needed. How do I customize the front end view so that they only see these 2 forms?
I have the following script which customizes the right click menu.
The problem that I am having is that I call the script to add the right click from the form open event and then multiple users can not access the same database.
I use one for forms and then another for reports.
If I manually close the open forms then reopen them then multiple users can use the same database.
If I close and reopen forms with vba the right click still remains making the database not accessible to multiple users.
It is definitely this as when I comment it out from the open event of the forms then everything is OK.
I call the following from the open event of the form as follows
Code: Public Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) FormsShortcutMenu End Sub
The following is stored in a module
Code: Public Sub FormsShortcutMenu() Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl On Error Resume Next CommandBars("cmdRightClick").Delete
I created a database for obtaining customer information at a trade show. The entry form is set to Pop up. Entry in data fields is required. I set a macro at the end of the entry form, "New Record Macro" to save the record and then to GoToRecord to create a new blank form for the next person to fill in. When a field is left blank, an error screen pops up using the actual name of the field left blank. Then a Macro Single Step error screen pops up. I need to replace these pop ups with customized directions. I'd like to completely eliminate the Macro Single Step error. I have no experience in Visual Basic. I am using Access 2010.
Is there any way to customize append query confirmation message? Unclicking Confirm Tools-->Options-->Edit/Find-->Confirm-Action Queries disables all warning messages.
My query takes some records from one table and append them to another table. When I run the query, first warning message says "Warning you r about to run an append query that will modify data in your table" (this is the message I do not want to see) and then if OK is clicked, the message says "you are about to append XXX rows...(this is the message I would like to customize)
how to create a Report with Customize Reference No. Reference Number should be continuously adding 1 count every time a user will print report. example:
On dec 16, morning..... reference no: THS-01 (1st print) dec 16, afternoon...reference no: THS-02 (2nd print) dec 17 morning.....reference no: THS-03 (3rd print) dec 18 morning.....reference no: THS-04 (4th print) etc....

I have a split Database into Back-End and Front-End. I want to hide the Access Customize Option in my Front-End. I have tried to make the Database ACCDE but the option still appears to Customize the Access Database.
I also want to know why is it that when i make a Database ACCDE - some of the codes are not working properly???
Is there anyway to customize the background of a message box that is brought up via a macro or VBA event? It would be kind of fun to have a stop sign image in the background of a "save and close form" prompt.
I am using Access 2007-2010 and I was able to create a report but now I want to include a stacked bar in it.
My report shows one record at a time, so the values for my chart change accordingly. The chart should have four columns: Student, Homemaker, Retired, Employed I have assigned a colour for each category in "Edit" mode (by clicking separately on each column). However, sometimes the results don't show all four values and then my stacked chart only has 3 categories, but I would like it to show the missing category and just have value as 0. But most importantly the colours get all messed up. Can I permanently assign a color for each column?
Also the order is not how I want it to show. Right now it's in alpha order..how can i customize the order of the columns?
I tried doing this in datasheet - saved; but when I switch to a report view - everything changes back...

I'm just wondering if anyone has made a very advanced budget management program using just access?? I tried to make one for myself but I just want it to advanced for my little knowledge of access. I would love to be able to keep track of all my expenses including everything bought from groceries to hair cuts. I would love to be able to take my receipt from walmart and enter everything bought and the price for each item. Then I would love to be able to at anytime search for soap and thing with soap in the Item name will be displayed with the location and the date and price. This way I can keep track not just what I spend on groceries but what I spend on mountain dew or what i spend on hamburger in a given time. This is just way to complicated for me! I hope someone can help me out here maybe give me a shell and let me try to fill in certain parts or if someone already has one that works kind of like this maybe i could just change a few things to the way i want it! I really appreciate this!!
