Re: [MS_AccessPros] Is expression valid Office 2007 ?

 

Khalid-

The ideal situation would be to upgrade yourself to 2007 - especially if all your users are on that version.  When I was doing development regularly several years ago, I used virtual machines to keep separate copies of Access - one each to match what my customers had.  It's always best to develop in the same version.

John,

Thanks to you once again. As you have been guiding and telling me the different techniques and ways to handle the problems. My current issue for 'CustomerID' is also resolved.

After doing some more work in database like putting some more controls on some forms and reports or changing layouts of forms. When i copied .Mde on users machine and opening it, again i got the same message for missing library and i have to uncheck the MISSING reference. Further i decompiled the database. Further compiled it again found no error. Then made Mde on users machine. This cleared the issue of control 'CustomerID'.

(In 2007, click the Office button in the upper left corner, then click Access Options / Current Database.) I saw an option for Access File format, which showed "Access 2000-2003" also. As i am doing all my work in Access 2003. Do you suggest that i change it on users machine to 'Access 2000-2003' format ?

I would like to again say thanks to you for all your cooperation and help.

Regards,

Khalid

I have no clue why typing is causing an error - unless you have code that's interfering.  What is in the Row Source,  Column Count, Column Widths, Bound Column, Limit To List and Allow Value List Edits properties of that control?  Do you have any code associated with the control?

John,

Yes it worked, when i did it as you said i converted it to .Mde on his machine.

One thing i could not get there on Access 2007, the Tools menu where i can open the 'Starup' for .Mde and hide database window and status bar, what i have thought that open that .mde on my machine and then modify the 'Startup' options and then copy that to my users machine.

My second question was for CustomerID, while entering CustomerID through keyboard instead of selecting from combo box drop down list, it displays my defined message box for 'Not in List' event. (on users machine only)

Thanks for doing the favour up to now.

Did you compile the VBA project after you removed the missing library?  And if it compiled and saved OK, did you then convert that to .mde on his machine?

John,

I opened the .mdb (FE) on my users system and got message like:

"You have broken reference to the file 'AcroPDF.dll' version 1.0."

The i checked it in Tools--> References

MISSING was checked (Adobe Acrobat Browser Control Type Library 1.0

I unchecked it.

Now still on my FE and MDE the report is OK and showing "Month, Year", but not on the user's system.

Further on my user's system on a control for 'CustomerID'  if he enters CustomerID the message displays "The text you entered is not in list" even for its properties in Data tab its Limit to list property is set to Yes.

Same is the case here on my own system it does works.

I suspect the libraries aren't being updated correctly when your user tries to open using 2007.  You should send him the .mdb file and ask him to open any module to see if it compiles.  Is anything else broken in the database?  If so, that would be a clue.

John,

He is using Windows 7 with office 2007, then obviously his Access would be 2007. But i have put backend and MDE of in Access 2000-2003 format.

John,

 As i mentioned in my previous reply on Detail Section i have first bound control "SaleDate" with control source: SaleDate and these dates are displaying on detail section. Does it not suffice?

Khalid

Khalid-

Sometimes the Report engine can't find a field in the Record Source because it reformats the SQL to optimize it based on grouping, etc.  If you don't have SaleDate in a bound control on the Report, it's not guaranteed to be available at run time.  Try adding  a hidden text box containing that field.

John,

Reports Record Source is Query:

SELECT [Sales Retail Seller].OrderID, [Sales Retail Seller].SaleDate, [Sales Retail Seller].ItemReturned, [Sales Retail Seller].ReturnQty, [Sales Retail Seller].ReturnCost

FROM [Sales Retail Seller]

WHERE ((([Sales Retail Seller].ReturnQty)>0));

On SaleDate Header

Unbound Textbox: TransactionDate by Month

Control Source: =Format$([SaleDate],"mmmm yyyy",0,0)

On Detail Section:

Textbox: SaleDate, Control Source: SaleDate

.

.

.

4 more text boxes

I have given the user backend and MDE file, as i mentioned before the report is OK on my system but on user's system still not getting month, year On SaleDate Header other report on Detail section is OK there too.

Then it should work just fine in 2007.  Is SaleDate a field in the Record Source?  Also, make sure you have no control named "SaleDate" on the form.
