    hide/disable "new" record

    I am working on a database that users will use to enter data into forms based on pre-determined info. For instance, they will be rating a course on a series of measures which I will have entered into the database already, thus "creating" their response records, and they are simply completing...

    Reports won't open

    boblarson- the problem is happening with all of the reports in the database; not even the little hourglass appears, just nothing happens. KeithG- The printer installed is NOT a 4200 but I suppose we can try reinstalling the drivers to see if that helps.

    Create a tutorial that tracks progress for a specialized Access Database

    We are working on an access2000 database that will incorporate various "tutorial" or "training" elements in the db on how to use the db (mostly links to outside PDF files, etc.); the training elements guide users on how to do various data entry tasks, report generation, etc. Is there a way, in...

    typed data value not recognized

    That must be what's going on, even though there didn't appear to be any special characters, linebreaks or spaces, because when I re-type the values into the master table, they are recognized by the child table. Thanks for your help!

    typed data value not recognized

    No, sorry, I should have indicated that: both fields are TEXT fields and have the same properties set

    typed data value not recognized

    I'm experiencing an interesting problem with a database I have been working on. For some reason, when I tried to enforce referential integrity between two fields, whose values should have matched perfectly, I got an error that I couldn't because they didn't match. When I ran an unmatched...

    Vertical bars replace commas in converted database

    We have a database that was created in Access2000 and when opened in (or converted to) Access2003, commas in the query criteria fields change to vertical bars. The query still runs OK, but when you try to modify it (by adding another table or something) you get an error message: "Invalid use of...

    Unique "Unrecognized Database Format" problem w/ multiple users

    I have read through just about every post on this forum related to "Unrecognized Database errors" and have not found a solution to my direct problem. Stats: Database is running Access2K on all machines; db is on network location, no sharing issues or permission issues have been identified, no...

    Help troubleshooting simple code

    I'm not sure why this isn't working for me, but any logical event I attempt to attach this code to does not seem to produce any result, let alone the desired one. All other codes behind this form/controls seem to work just fine, so I started thinking perhaps something is wrong with what I'm...

    Funny exclusive access problem

    The error message appears EACH TIME any user opens the database (except me, the administrator). I am the only one with permissions for the db set to open exclusive. The only time it appears when I log on is when another user has the db open, then, as it does for others every time, the error...

    Funny exclusive access problem

    Yes, as I mentioned, I am familiar with this error message and what it means, when it usually happens. The part that is confusing is that it appears even when nobody else has the db open, and it appears repeatedly.

    Funny exclusive access problem

    OK, I've read through many posts here looking for an answer and can't seem to find one that really addresses my particular problem. I've had experience with the exclusive access numerous times before, so am aware of the "typical" problems and fixes. This one has me stumped, though. I have a...

    CanGrow function doesn't seem to be working

    I have a number of "Labels" reports (for mailing labels), which were originally created with the Access Label Wizard for pre-formatted labels. All of the address text fields were set to CanGrow=Yes, while keeping the detail section's CanGrow=No (so they don't overflow onto other labels). This...

    blank records inserted automatically

    I tried splitting the macro up at the place suggested, and putting the steps from SetValue (...ApplID=...ContactID) on the Before Insert event of the Applicants form but what happens is the Applicants form opens to a blank record. If I hit a data entry key (spacebar, or an alphanumeric key)...

    limiting combo box values based on another field

    Yes, that works, and it works if I type the ID number into the parameter dialog box. What I was hoping to accomplish, however, is that the ID field value would be detected automatically and used as a criteria for the underlying query instead of having my basic users have to find and type in the...
