Re: Adding Record On Query Generates "Cannot Add Record"

No the autofill I'm talking about is not an autoincrement. It automatically fill in the specific LocationID for a new record. For example, if I select LocationID = "1" on the combo-box, it will show all records with LocationID = "1". I want to add a new record and I go to a new r...

Re: Adding Record On Query Generates "Cannot Add Record"

Can you post the Insert query that is giving the error? I see you are using a common value which is Order. I really don't think you can use a Join in an Insert statement by the way. I didn't use any specific Insert Query, the Sub-Form (Table_Child) is in a spreadsheet-view and I simply select a new...

Re: Quick Access Help

Did you actually base the form on a query? If you're manually setting the record source you need to force it to refresh IIRC. There is not separate SQL query in my database. All the query is done right in the RecordSource property. How do you a "force refresh?" And why does it work on my ...

Re: Quick Access Help

Now this is wierd, I am able to successfully pull up these records in one form (fields automatically appearing on all my textboxes). However, if I create another form from scratch with the same exact settings, the textboxes don't show anything when I pull up a record. I know it pulled it up a record...

Re: Quick Access Help

Your first query looked definitely wrong because you didn't have a where clause. Don't know why your 2nd query did not work but the comment thing may be an issue. Not sure about the data binding stuff in Access so I can't say if the ControlSource thing is correct or not. I would suggest looking int...

There are still a few things ray tracing is inefficient at doing that could be done with the same quality using rasterization. So I thing that a hybrid approach is the most likely solution...
