Datasheet View Subforms - Not Allowing Data Entry

23 New Member
I have a subform that is searched according to a field value on the main form.

The subform has mutiple pages and each page has a subform based off a query. Today when I logged into the main form, none of the subforms that in are Datasheet view are allowing data entry. In fact, none of the rows are even visible. All I can see is the column title row for each datasheet. What does this mean? Are my queries not setup correctly? Is it an issue with allowing data entry?

This has happened before, and usually if I recreate the query, it fixes the problem. I would like to not have to do this though.

Any help would be fantastic.

Thank you.

Are you using a MS Access Backend or some other backend like MS SQL or Oracle?

Yes, I am using an Access Backend.

Yes, I am using an Access Backend.
Is it split or are you running it as one file?

It is split and runs across a network.

I am still having issues w/this problem. It seems now that while the database is in use on another computer, it does not work correctly on any others. On some computers, the subform is disappearing altogether. Is this a problem w/the way my backend is setup?

Thanks.

It is split and runs across a network.
Does this mean the back end is on a server on the network and the front ends are on each user's PC? Or are the users sharing a front end that's also on the network? Sharing a front end can cause this type of problem as well as many others, including repeated corruption.

The backend is saved on a shared drive on the network. Each user has an individual front in that is saved on their personal computer.

I was forced by my employer to build a database for our team, and it's been a difficult road - figuring out everything. WIthout this board, I'd be totally lost.

Hi: I have a tables in relationship to each other. When I open the main table (table 1), I see a "+" at the very left of every record.

I have an MS Access form on which I have a listbox listing tables in that database.

Here are the contraints I faced: (1) Populating any of the grid controls manually is too slow for my...

I have tried everything, what am I doing wrong? I have a data entry form in datasheet view (for mass data entry). One of the fields are SalesID, and I would like to use DLookup to populate an unbound field next to it, just for information for the data entry person. I use: strFilter = "SalesRefID = " & Me!Salesid Me!Salesnavn = DLookup("SalesName", "SalesIDs", strFilter)

I'm resubmitting a question that went unanswered a while ago. I'll try to rephrase it. I have a hierarchical form that presents data on an 'organization'.

When user selects an organization , the resulting view gives the information on that organization followed...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
