Form not showing data from tables

51 New Member
I am new at the whole Access thing, and recently got a new job. I am creating my first database. I did so in Access 2003. My problem is, I have 10 tables, and I created a tab form with 6 tabs on it. When I enter data on the form/subforms I go out of it and go back into, all my data in the forms are gone. They are in the table though. Can someone please help me. I am sooo new to all this.
It is saving to the table but not the subforms. It is also saving it to the main forms that I created the subforms from. HELP PLEASE!! thanks.

No that shouldn't be a problem but check the number type. It needs to be an integer and not something with a decimal.

I checked them all and they are all integers. hmmm wonder why it is giving me that error message then.

aah, nevermind, found that, They have to having matching Fieldsizes if one is an autonumber and the other is a number.

Thanks for all your help. Hopefully this will solve all my problems!!

Yes, the field size is where you set it to be long integer, short integer, single, double, etc. :)

I have a database that contains the details of pupils in a school. What I would like to do may not be possible but I thought I would ask anyway. Each year the pupils move to a different class, there are 8 classes in each year that are named with the year and the class teachers initials e.g 5FS would be a year 5 class, teacher Fred Smith. So every year I have to change the class the pupils are in, thereby losing the classes they have been...

Hi all. I'm trying to write my first Access database and I'm getting on well. It's for my own small business use and the scenario is this. I have 4 or 5 suppliers who all email their product pricing and databases daily.

I have a Tab Control in the form, and in one of the tabs I have a subform (sfmSiblings) in which I wish to list...

Is it possible to have a data entry form where the information is stored in several different tables (5 or 6)?

I am quietly going insane on this project. I've never worked on a project like this one before. All my previous sticky forms were for data entry, not editing. I don't know how to display the form with data from the database, allow the user to update it, and then display the form again with POST data. I can get the data out of the database and get the user updates back into the database, but how do I get the filled-out form back to the user...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
