In my Access frontal base, I have a query that select certain data from an other Access database. It works fine.
Using a Form assistant I call all of the data selected using my query in the form. and it works fine.
The only issue I have, is that I want to modify the content of certain column in That form, but I can't.
Here is more details :
To create my form
I used a form assistant as shown below ->
I chosed the query I want and called all the columns.
**Result : **
I got the result I'm looking for except for one point is that I can't modify the form.
I ideally want to be able to only modify the 2 last columns ('Identifiant candidat' & 'Candidat Nom') But if it's not possible than being able to modify all of my form is good.
Thank you so much for your time and help
following your question #HansUp in the query designer this is what I have
So it's not possible to modify it

Hello I have a pretty intricate Access database. I just jumped on this project and have never used Access. I have a form that is generating a value entry popup when I try to run it and it shouldn't be. The problem is the form is trying to access a column of a table which has been changed recently. I just have no idea where to find the query or what exactly is trying to access that column. Any help greatly appreciated. I am using Access 2016 also.
Sounds to me like the problem inst actually your form but the query your form is based upon.
This may be a separate query or a query built in your forms record source.
Go to your form in design view. Open up the property sheet. (Under design tab) make sure the dropdown box has Form Selected and look at the Record Source.
The record source may state a query name, In which case you should remove the field/replace the field with another in that query.
Or if it says something along the lines of "Select ......" then just alter that query to not have the field you have removed/renamed and the problem should go away.
However it is worth noting that if you have sub forms it could be the record source of one of those.
I am sincerely sorry if this question has been asked before, however with my limited knowledge of using Microsoft Access forms I am having an issue that is likely a very simple fix.
At the moment I am trying to create a form that will allow me to post data into an intersection table using combo boxes, the purpose is to create a relation between Clients and Project Numbers, these are intended on being a Many-to-Many relationship.
Relation Example
To begin with one issue I am running into is that when I use the intersection table to select a unique Client Name I get multiple entries from the drop down menu when there are multiple items in the intersecting table.
Form Example
The second part of my issue is that I am unsure how to post data to the intersecting table once the dropdown selections have been made.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I thank everyone for their time.
The first part is to create a form in which you find, and edit data in the main client table.
This form will ONLY be based on the single main client table.
You perhaps ALREADY have a nice form to edit the client table anyway. I mean, how else will users find and edit a client anyway? So this issue and problem will LONG be dealt with before you do anything else of use in the application.
The form based on this single table might look like this:
Ok, now close the above, and create a second form to allow adding some choices of favorite colors (or in your case ClientContract). So the form will be based on this child table.
Again, like the first form, this form is based on ONE table.
Make this form continues, so click on ClientContract table, and then from ribbon choose multiple items form from the ribbon. It will look like this:
Of course we don’t want the user to have to manually type in the color (or project in your case), so we drop in a combo box from the ribbon and use the wizard. MAKE sure the first column of this combo is the PK of the ProjectNumber table, but FOR EASE of reading and selection, include ProjectNumber and Project Description columns in that comb box. NOTE in above how I also had added that combo box.
Assuming you closed and saved this form.
Now open our first main client form in design mode, and drag + drop in the continues second form we just created onto this form. The resulting form will look like this:
Access will automatic set up he customer_ID for us (because it is a sub form attached to the main form that only displays the one main record).
Once the above works, then again close the lot, and open up our continues form in design mode and remove all the extra junk.
(leaving ONLY the combo box).
The result is this:
I am trying to write an Microsoft Access query from a form with a multi value field being the criteria. The field I am trying to use is called Population and the field is represented in my database as a List Box that allows multiple values and it is in the Building table. The values it allows are the following:
"Singles";"Familes";"Families with Children";"Youth/Young Adults";"Veterans";
The form that I am creating is called HousingSearch.
I am trying to create a form which uses this field, so someone could use the list box and check off the values they want and click on the button which would open a query. I know having done this with single value fields the criteria in the query looks something like
[forms]![HousingSearch]![Building]![Population]
but if you try the same thing for a multi value field nothing is returned for the query. Any help would be appreciated.
From the information you have provided it seems that the phrase [Forms]![HousingSearch]![Building]![Population] are combining a request that starts with a form and then jumps to a table.
You are asking access to find data in a form but the information you're most likely trying to access is in a table. I don't quite understand what you're end result is but I think that you most likely want to refer to your information this way [Building]![Population]. Referring to your data this way makes access look at the table of [Building] and then into the field of [Population].
It's been a while since you posted, if you haven't cleared things up already I hope this helps.
I'm having a little trouble with the form filter in Access 2007. I'm using the listview in a few forms and the user needs to be able to filter there.
For testing purposes I made a query, which is just based on one table. If I want to set the first filter, it looks like that:
I choose a value and if I want to set another filter (on a different field obviously), there aren't values available to choose from.
This seems to happen only if I use a query (doesn't matter if I use every field, or just a few, based on one table or multiple linked tables). I can of course use the number filter and enter a value manually.
I have another database, where I can use filters when and wherever I want, regardless whether it is a query or a table - I have a list with values to choose from everytime. This means I messed something somewhere up but I have absolutely no clue where.
I'm using Access 2007 (FE/BE), if you need any further details, just ask. Any advice where to start looking is very appreciated!
Well, after playing around for a long while, I figured out what the problem is.
The form recordsource needs to be a query - no sql code, no "select * from query", just the name of a query. Anything else leads to the fact that you are limited in using the filters. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there is a reason behind this, but that's the way it works in access 2007 - at least for me.
Before I was dynamically adding conditions to my queries which led to a recordsource like "select * from qDeliveries where location = 1". To accomplish this I now just create a temporary query which is the form recordsource instead of just using the sql code.
Hope this helps anyone... :)
Instead of using a query, try this:
File >> Options
Current Database
Scroll down to Filter lookup options
Check ODBC Fields
Close and re-open the file. That should solve the issue.
Create a Separate query and assign to that form. instead of create query within the form. Your problem might get resolved. I did the same way it's working fine for me.
I am getting Table from a database where I will show the mature records only if a Mature Check Box is checked, so the real thing is that I want to populate data. Is there a simple way to do this?
You need something in your database to identify "Mature Records". Then you just need to modify your query (with something like AND mature=0) if the name/value of the checkbox doesn't appear in the submitted form data.
