203 TopicsDatabase in an "inconsistent state" and other errors
Hello. I was directed here for help by Microsoft Tech Support because the problem is "file specific" and not at the app level. I am not computer savvy and have never used a forum like this. Tech support just kind of dumped me here and said "have at it," so any guidance, help, etc. would be appreciated. I use Microsoft Office 365 as a personal/individual subscriber and my Access program started issuing error message over the past week. The biggest concern and problem is around db called Comic Books and I've attached the error message. When I click OK, it attempts to repair, fails and issues the second message. Another database--an earlier copy of Comic Books from mid December-- opens OK, but has its own problems, such as when I attempt to simply copy a table (see third error message). I don't know if these are related. Can anyone help me? Is there any hope for me ever regaining access to the Comic Books database which was last accessible and working on January 4? Thank you.85Views0likes1CommentHow do I reference query data from an Access Macro
I have a simple Select query that returns a number of records. In my Access macro (just for clarification, I do mean Access Macro and not VBA) I want to check how many records the query returns in an IF statement. In this specific case the check would be on zero returned records, but being able to check non-zero in the future might be useful. I have tried various internet searches but the only results I found relate to VBA. Suggestions on how to do this check would be appreciated. Thank You97Views0likes2Commentsver2507 bug
I got an Access 2016, it updated itself to version 2507 (build: 19029.20156). Since then I can't use the linked table management interface. I can't refresh linked Excel sheets. The Version 2507 (Build 19029.20136) was still OK, but I can't downgrade my Office 2016. Is there any solution?424Views0likes8CommentsCalculating Age In Access
Hi All, Just got a question regarding calculating ages in tables in access. I am on Access 2016, and I have two columns, DOB, and Death Date. I only have one entry for a death date, and if there is not a death date I want to calculate it from today. Would I use a Calculated Field Type? What would I put in it? I found some Vba code, but I don't know how to put that into my table.6.5KViews0likes7CommentsMS Access Database Decommissioning
Hi folks, We have the following version of the MS Access Database and we are not sure when MicroSoft is decommissioning this version of MS Access Database. We have the latest version of MicroSoft Application installed as a part of our environment, but the actual MS Access Database is the following for one of the databases. Do we need to update this database called Pontiac to the latest version of database. The database itself is showing Access 2007-2016 file format - Access. Do we need to update this database to the latest version of database. We really appreciate your recommendations.

Steps to reproduce: create a data-bound form with textboxes showing text field values. Place the cursor in a textbox. Type. In my Microsoft Access 2016 accdb, I have a form with textboxes showing table field values. When I click on any of these text boxes, the blinking text input cursor appears in the text box more or less as expected, but with an offset that grows as it moves further to the right. What I mean by offset is that the cursor is shown in a certain place, but entering/deleting text happens a bit further to the left. With the cursor all the way at the beginning of the textbox, editing happens right there. But at the other extreme, if I hit End, the cursor is shown some 5-10% behind the text in the field. Moving a position to the left with the left cursor key, the cursor is still some distance behind the displayed text, but entering text happens before the final character. And when I click somewhere in the middle of the text, the cursor can even display in the middle of a character, and editing always happens a bit to the left of the cursor. It's as if the text is scaled at 95% for display, relative to the (invisible) text for cursor positioning. Interestingly, I took a look in my tables, and the behaviour in text fields in the tables is exactly the same. I've found reports of this elsewhere, but none of the causes and solutions apply here. There are no special characters (tabs or otherwise) in these text fields. There is no code in the Change event. There is no timer running. I suspect it's a scaling issue somehow, but I can't find any explanations or solutions anywhere. And the issue makes editing the text data near-impossible. I've resorted to copying the text to Notepad, editing there, and pasting it back.Solved482Views0likes7CommentsMS Access Forum Web Design Irritation
🙃 Can we take a vote and get a show of hands for how many MS Access Forum users find the little social media bar on the side of the screen not only unnecessary but also an annoying waste of virtual real estate? 😉 Any chance the site admins could reconsider the location of that annoying little intrusion to possibly find someplace else to try and recruit new members to your OTHER social media outlets? 🤣 A wise old saying that so many members of the current human population seem to have forgotten or never learned is, "Just because you can do something, doesn't necessarily mean that you should." If more people understood those words I would not be here right now typing these words... 🤪 LMAO Have a wonderful day everybody!69Views0likes1CommentDistinct Count Subquery, MS Access
Need some help in getting a Distinct Count result in this query. For context, i work in healthcare and of course an not share the actual data behind the query. My goal is to modify the current quiery - which returns total charges by account financial class (medicaid, commercial, medicare, sellf pay) and account date within a given month (post date, in the query), but add on a distinct count of hospital accounts in the grouping. Current SQL below, all data lives in the ez_hosp_chg_v. table. End goal is to return a distinct count of the bold/red data point: "HOSP_ACCT_ID" SELECT ez_hosp_chg_v.POST_DATE, ez_hosp_chg_v.TX_FIN_CLASS, ez_hosp_chg_v.ACCT_CLASS, Sum(ez_hosp_chg_v.ORIG_AMT) AS SumOfORIG_AMT, ez_hosp_chg_v.PRIMARY_PLAN_NAME, ez_hosp_chg_v.HOSP_ACCT_ID FROM ez_hosp_chg_v GROUP BY ez_hosp_chg_v.POST_DATE, ez_hosp_chg_v.TX_FIN_CLASS, ez_hosp_chg_v.ACCT_CLASS, ez_hosp_chg_v.PRIMARY_PLAN_NAME, ez_hosp_chg_v.HOSP_ACCT_ID HAVING (((ez_hosp_chg_v.POST_DATE) Between [enter start date] And [enter end date])); I've attempted incorporating a subquery like this distinct count example, but can't get the syntax correct in my version: source: https://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/threads/count-unique-values-in-a-query.327614/ Any help or pointers are appreciated. -Joe236Views0likes4CommentsHow to Uninstall Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 by COMMAND LINE
