    Not updateable form even when replaced with old form

    Hi there. I have never come across this and I'm hoping for some insight. In my database I have a form that is now saying it is not updatable. I went to a previous copy of this database and the form works fine there. I took a copy of this working form (and query behind it) and replaced the...

    Gotocontrol-how to find the source code

    Isladogs, The limit is 2mb for an upload of a database. There's no way I could put everything up there to run this and stay under that limit. To get an idea of what the buttons do follow the directions I gave. In design view- Go to the properties drop down box and choose anything that begins...

    Gotocontrol-how to find the source code

    I made a database with just the form in it. When you open it you will get lots of 'can't be found' messages as I did not add any of the subforms. Open in design and the default page will be showing. To see how the gotocontrol works go to the properties and in the drop down box click on any of...

    Gotocontrol-how to find the source code

    Yes- so sorry for the confusion-- basically the gotocontrol was used to go to a different page on a tabbed form. What threw me was that the look-- the person who designed it removed the tab look and instead used buttons for the user to tab through the different pages. Because the tabs were...

    Gotocontrol-how to find the source code

    Yes (and no?)-it is similar to setfocus- you use it to go to a specific control, not necessarily subform. In my case the main data page has the list of buttons (contact info/client notes/etc) Each of the button sets the gotocontrol of the control on a different page or tab within the form. My...

    Gotocontrol-how to find the source code

    Hi all, Thanks for your responses. theDBGuy- yes when typing I didn't catch that I had typed the syntax incorrectly. Cronk thank you-- I never really used that drop down in that way. So it turns out this form has many pages and that is what is being called into focus with the gotocontrol...

    Gotocontrol-how to find the source code

    Hi there, I inherited a database that on it's main client page has navigation buttons (emergency contact/client notes/evaluation info/main client info(default page that opens when form is open)/etc. These navigation buttons will open and set focus to the specific subform. Each of the subforms...

    Subform to requery from 1st subform

    Thanks for your help. For whatever reason I could not get the timer to work. However, I did find a solution on another forum, and it was quite simple. On the OnDataChange event of the first subform I put in the following code: If Me!TabControlName = 1 Then...

    Subform to requery from 1st subform

    I have 2 subforms on a page. The first subform holds data from other sources-claims that have been submitted and paid. The 2nd subform shows all the claims that are currently in her database. The user needs to move these finished claims to her database. She can look over the data, confirm it...

    I have built an import program. It pulls in all the data from 2 other systems runs consolidations and matches it by each client. The user needs to view the claims (data) from the imported spreadsheet. If these claims are not in her database, she needs append the data to her claims table. I...

    Overwrite excel with new data from access

    Thanks to both of you. Cronk, your solution worked, until we started pounding on the form and doing several months in a row. (The reason I don't make new spreadsheets is this is linked to overwrite a txt file that needs sent for govt reports). Arnelgp, I came up with what you sent, but only...

    Overwrite excel with new data from access

    Hi all, I am hoping this is a simple fix. I used some vb code to kick out data to my excel file. Basically each time the code is run, the new data overwrites the previous data on the excel sheet. This works, it overwrites, BUT it doesn't clear out the previous information. So say I ran it...

    Set field dependent on other subform

    The If statement with the dlookup did work for this! Thanks. I've been thinking about it and I think I made it too complicated- I don't need to involve all three subforms. I am wondering if I can use an OnChange event with a Iif statment and Dlookup. Is this possible? (the where clause...

    getting name for report

    My sql view does have the left outer join. My query for this report only has one table- the sql view. So I guess I should just add the customer table for the left join. That was my initial reaction, but I'm just getting back to access work after years off and I'm questioning everything....

    getting name for report

    Hello all, I have a search form for my user. They can pull up a report with the current balances for each customer. Works fine if the customer has a balance. I added a pop up box for times when there is no data. However, the client wants to have the report still appear with the customer...
