Hi All,
I'm hoping that someone could help me out since I'm new with Access.
Background:
Database was set up as a simple data entry and reporting tool for Program Initiatives. The data entry page has main form with 9 sections (1 main section and 8 subsections). These subsections are all employed using subforms. These are all joined through the ProgramID. The Report is set up in a similar fashion with main and subreports too.
Unfortunately I ran into a couple issues.and had questions about resolving them:
* How can I save the records after everything is entered instead of as I enter them in the data entry view?
Currently, the data needs to be entered sequentially to work correctly. Is there a way to prevent the records from saving until I am done entering in all the information?
* How can I edit previously entered data in the form view?
Currently, the data entry view only allows new additions; cannot edit previously entered data.
* How can I make the report searchable?
Report is not searchable because it is based on query (for the main section) and multiple SubReports (for the subsections). I have queries that make it main and subform fields searchable by returning the ProgramID, but I am having trouble tying these returned results to the Report through the ProgramID.
Thanks so much,
Nate

* How can I save the records after everything is entered instead of as I enter them in the data entry view?
Only by using temporary tables for the subforms.
* How can I edit previously entered data in the form view?
Check the form's properties, make sure that the Dataentry property is set to "No".
(Under the Data tab)
* How can I make the report searchable?
You don't search a report, that's done on the form's. You can add a new combobox on the mainform and select the third option (search record) to search by the ID, or use the right-click popup menu to filter on one or more fields.

I come from the Access environment where all the windows
form handles were hidden so pardon my question.
In Access I could make "continuous" subforms and there was
a subform "container" object I could place on a form and
then reference the subform and easily link the two
together with a master/child link. The mastery of just
how it worked was hidden from the average user.
I have the dataset side working fine with multiple

I have a main Report with 3 sub-reports eg:
Report1 (Main Report) ... SubRpt1, SubRpt2, SubRpt3
SubRpt1, SubRpt2 & SubRpt3 are bound to 3 different tables with a
common relation on a NUMERIC field called Service_Ticket_No
(Ser_Tkt_Num).
The Main Report is not bound to any table but I could if required.

I am having difficulty in adding a subform into my existing form, I
have designed very simply databases in the past & this is my first
attempt at compiling subforms - with little success I may add. In a
nutshell I have multiple variable data (defects) which occur on one
product, on one day etc. etc..
Can anyone advise of any literature that may be of use.
look forward to your replies.

Hi all -
I'm wondering if anyone has (or knows of) a tool that will allow me to
search through VB code, tables, queries, reports, forms, and other
objects, for references to all other types of objects.
That's not really that clear, so here's an example:
If I have a table named
"table_i_would_like_to_delete_but_don't_know_if_any_object_is_using_it",

Hi all
I am trying to create a report which accurately replicates a standard form, so layout is critical.
The required report will be multiple pages, each (Landscape) page must be split horizontally into two sections, upper and lower.
The top section displays information on four records and the lower section is required to display more info on the same four records. This pattern should then repeat over all records, approx 80.

For starters, we're using the new Split Form feature. When the split form datasheet shows up...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
