Hello all:
I have a split, shared database in which the Before and AfterUpdate events on my forms are not working at all. I tried setting a breakpoint to verify this and, sure enough, they are not firing.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this may be occurring?
Thanks so much for the help. I have tried searching the forum with no luck.
Hello,
I have an "After Update" event procedure for a field on a form that calls a VBA sub. When I use a different VBA sub to input a value in the above mentioned field, the "After Update" event does not occur, even thought the data in the field has been changed. (Of course if I manually enter the data, the field "After Update" event works.)
Is there a flag or condition that needs to be set in my VBA sub to let the field realize that it has been changed? Or possible a way to call the fields AfterUpdate Sub?
I tried having a my sub call the AfterUpdate sub to see what would happen, but didn't get it to work. I got a bunch of error and didn't feel like this was really the way to go.
I also could just duplicate all the code in the AfterUpdate sub for the field, but we all know that that is not a good idea.
Thank you for any help.
I have structured a subform as a datasheet to allow users to copy and paste from Excel into the database. Datasheet has numerous fields and 18 rows. I have set up recalculations of other data in the AfterUpdate event of the fields in the datasheet. This works perfectly until the user copies multiple rows from Excel and pastes them (one column at a time) into the datasheet.
Is there an event I can capture when the user copies and pastes a column?
Muchas-Grasias for any assistance.
I need to give users the option to cancel a record they're creating. Whilst the delete code works fine, the following events in red no longer fire.
Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdCancel_Click
If MsgBox("Once YES is selected this cancel cannot be undone", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Are you sure you wish to cancel this entire record?") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmNewRec"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmSelectNew"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSwitchboard"
End If
Exit_cmdCancel_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdCancel_Click:
MsgBox "Record deleted"
Resume Exit_cmdCancel_Click
End Sub
i have 15 text boxes named Qty1, Qty, Qty3, etc...
and another 15 text boxes named Comment1, Comment2, Comment3, etc...
i'd like to write an AfterUpdate event code that will apply to all of the Qty controls..instead of write 15 individual AfterUpdate events..
is this possible at all?!
On a form I have a pair of controls, Price and PriceInUSD. If the user enters a new value into the Price field, then its AfterUpdate event fires, which looks up the relevant exchange rate and updates the PriceInUSD control accordingly. That all works fine.
Now in some circumstances (if a checkbox elsewhere on the form is checked), I generate a modal dialog box asking the user to confirm that the Price value is correct, or enter a new value.
That modal dialogue box's Enter button's On Click event then updates the Price control before closing the dialog. That bit works fine, too - but I had thought that this update of the Price control would fire its AfterUpdate event - but it doesn't.
So, my basic question is : do Control events only fire in response to user input, and not to programmed changes ?
I have an issue with the dblclick event not firing immediately from my listbox. It does eventually fire if i mash the mouse button for long enough but obviously that is not an acceptable solution.The listbox also has an afterupdate event which is what fires when i double click.
I have also tried calling the code from an onclick command button which works fine but if i try and call that from the dblclick event it does not.
I have used the dblclick event in other projects with afterupdate and it has worked without problem.

We use our CRM for entering client orders, which is done through our 'OrderEntry' form. On that form we have a subform that we use to enter order lines - as we have a range of products on offer, an order can be made up of one product or anything up to 100.We have an 'amount' textbox on the subform, that the users enter the cost of each line, and as they add more lines the total cost of the order is calculated using a textbox in the subform Footer, with the ControlSource set to =Sum([amount]).
On the main form, we have a Net textbox, that the user will add in the total cost of the order once they've added all the order lines, and providing the =Sum([amount]) textbox on the subform matches the figure in the Net textbox, a button to Proceed the order and go on to the next step appears.
The intermittent problem I have, is that the OnCurrent event I use to show the Proceed button does not seem to fire on its own - but when I stop the code and step through it, it will show the Proceed button without any problems.Here's the code:
(the Proceed button is referred to a 'Command80')
Code:
Dim OS As String
Dim UT As String
OS = OrderStatus
UT = fGetUserType
[code]....
I've made the part that refers to the Proceed button bold, but thought I'd add in the whole OnCurrent event in case there was anything in there that was blocking it.
I added in the MsgBox code at the bottom to make sure the OnCurrent was firing, and that works fine.I've searched through the rest of the code, and there's nothing else in there that references the Visible property of the button.I've been through the decompile process detailed here, and also been through this similar thread with a fine toothcomb and this still won't work.
I've saved the form out as a textfile and then imported it back in, both through the immediate window, and short of importing everything in to a new DB and starting again
I have to maintain an Access form which contain a linked subform (using Master and Child fields).
Basically, in the main form (Form1), the user choose a value in a combobox and the subform (Form2) is automatically updated.
My issue is that I have a BeforeUpdate event on one field of my subform which is preventing to update the field (Cancel=true) when it does not meet the criteria. The alert msgbox should appear once if there is any error in the field but the BeforeUpdate event is always fired 3 times for unknown reason.
What I don't understand is that if I open the subform (Form2) as a main form or if i remove the child/master link fields in the subform property sheet, it is working as expected with the BeforeUpdate event being fired only once.
I'm developing in Access 2007 and created a runtime version.
When the user clicks the X to close the runtime application, the main form's Load event fires. Any clues as to why this might be? Some of the code is based on other forms that do close, so of course errors start flying. Note, this is only in the runtime version; the accdb file works just fine.
My current workaround is to put the offending code into the forms On Current event, which I'm able to do in this context.
Is it wrong to think that a forms On_Load event shouldn't be firing when the application is closing?
Hello
I have a three field table viz ItemName, ItemCode, ItemRate wherein ItemCode is Autonumber. What I needed was if I select 3 from dropdown of ItemCode, both ItemName & ItemRate be displayed on the form. A combo box can use to show one value and put other, but for twin values someone sugggested to use the AfterUpdate event. Is there no other way? I don't know how to code in Access. Can you please guide? Thanks
Is there a central reference on the net that explains the pro's and con's of each of the event types. I historically have used the OnChange event until the other day when someone suggested using the AfterUpdate instead.
Would like to ensure that I have the best event trigger being used where possible in various situations
Thanks in Advance
I Can't figure out why this doesn't work on a form that I want to populate the Timestamp field when they edit the record. Looks like it works for others that have posted.
Do I need to add a New Reference to the reference Libary?
I'm running Access2k
I get an error box stating the procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name.
What am I missing?

I know what I want to do...but have no idea how to get started! I'm new to coding and using macros and quesries doesn't seem to help.
When field [TermDate] is updated with a value, I want to move the record from table [BadgeData] to table [Termed]. I'm sure this is easy for someone who'll be willing to throw out a few suggestions.
Also, is there anywhere in the code builder that will help identify what code (or commands) do? (Does that make sense?)
Hi. i am very thankful for all your help in my other queries for my database. i have one last question and i guess i will be done after that. i have a form which have 3 fields one is Number and the other is group and the next one is Account. all of them are combo boxes. I am trying to add this function in the Number field text box properties in afterupdate event which is as follow
Sub Number_Afterupdate()
If not isnull(Number) Then
Number=Format(Number, "000000")
Endif
End sub
The code is working fine. i debug it and run it no errors. i want to put this function in afterupdate. i copied this whole thing in the afterupdate box and when i go back to my control form try to enter numbers in the Number field it gives me this
Msaccess can't find the macro "private sub Mynumber" the macro or its macrogroup does not exist or the macro is new but has'nt been saved.
Can anyone help me out what i am doing wrong ? or can tell me steps what to do i really appreciate that and thanks alot FONZ :)
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the VB to check if a value is a duplicate afterupdate?
Many thanks.
Hi
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form.
What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly.
What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date.
I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine.
The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
Thanks
Below is the code I have created to calculate the values "CalcValue" and "CalcWork". The values for AssignValue, AssignPriority, Complex, Effort, Goal are all assigned by the selection made in the referred to/related combo boxes. However, the caluclated values return the concatonation of the intergers and not the sum of the integers. Additionally, if I am to use the CDec() function how do I specify the number of decimal places?
what am I missing here?
thanks!
Private Sub cboAssignPriority_AfterUpdate()
Dim CalcValue, AssignValue, AssignPriority, Complex, Effort, Goal, CalcWork As Integer
Value = 0
AssignValue = 0
AssignPriority = 0
CalcValue = 0
CalcWork = 0
AssignValue = Me!cboAssignValue.Column(3)
AssignPriority = Me!cboAssignPriority.Column(2)
Complex = cboDBObjectID.Column(2)
Effort = cboTaskTypeID.Column(3)
Goal = cboAgencyGoalID.Column(2)

CalcWork = Complex + Effort + Goal
CalcValue = CDec(Value)

I'm stumped....(newbie):)
I"ve got a unbound combo box (customername) that has two events (on click); AfterUpdate and NotInList.
The AfterUpdate uses a 'me.recordsetclone' in order to display other data in controls associated with customerid/customername from the Customer table.
The NotInlist, does just that, adds a new customer name to the
list along with a new autonumber (used as customerid).
The problem is that I'm getting two entries (different autonumbers). I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. If I remove the 'AfterUpdate' event, then I can't bring up the customer's data, since then there's no connection to the customername/customerid.
If I remove the Not in List, then there's no way to add a new customer. I reconfigured NotInList many many times and still I get 2 entries. One entry has Customer 'name only', The second entry has name, address, city and the rest of the fields as entered.
I tried setting an index (on Customer table) with CustID and CustomerID, making them unique, but still I'm getting 2 entries whenever I use the 'NotInList'..........Help Help,,
Here are these events:
Code: ( text )
Private Sub customername_AfterUpdate()
Dim rst As Object
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
rst.FindFirst "CustomerID=" & Me![customername]
If Not rst.NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
Else
'Not found!
End If
Forms![Add or Delete Customer]![customername].Requery
End Sub
Code: ( text )
Private Sub customername_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer)
Dim strSQL
Dim FirstName As String
Dim LastName As String
Dim SpacePosition As Integer
Dim lngNextID As Long
' Find the highest Cust ID in the Customers table and add 1
lngNextID = DMax("[CustID]", "Customers") + 1
custID = lngNextID
SpacePosition = InStr(NewData, " ")
If SpacePosition = 0 Then
MsgBox "Your entry requires a space to separate First and Last name." & _
vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Please enter a First and Last Name or choose an entry from the list.", _
vbInformation, "Invalid Data !"
Response = acDataErrContinue
Exit Sub
End If
' Trim the data into first and last name using the space position.
FirstName = Trim(Left(NewData, SpacePosition - 1))
LastName = Trim(Mid(NewData, SpacePosition + 1))
If FirstName = "" Then
MsgBox "You have not entered details for the first name" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Please fix entry.", vbInformation, "Invalid Data !"
Response = acDataErrContinue
Exit Sub
End If
If LastName = "" Then
MsgBox "You have not entered details for the last name" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Please fix entry.", vbInformation, "Invalid Data !"

Is there anyone that can help....thanks Shasha
I have a form (TransactionBody) & a subform (Detail) in the body I have an option group (Reg Office, Unaccepted and Returned) and want the returned button to be true "IF" a box Yes/No box called "Returned" is checked "yes" in the "Detail" form.
I have done simular things in regular forms but not with a subform. I know I need to setup a afterupdate event in the Detail subform in the "returned" yes/no box and I know the basic if..then...else lingo I just don't know how to reference the transactionbody form in the formula from the detail form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi all.
Benn looking through other posts and have found some things which look quite similar but nothing which answers the question simply enough for my standard!
Basically I have a form with 5 fields...Number, Name, Location, Date and Owner.
All fields are locked apart from Location and Date.
I have a combo box which lists the field "Number" and then displays the record's data. The aim of the form is to be able to update the Location field easily.
A user entering the form would use the combo box to select say number "3243". This would bring up record number 3243. The date displayed would be the last updated date. Currently 23/08/05. I am trying desperately to get the Date to refresh to the current date as soon as someone changes the "Location" field. I have tried putting in the AfterUpdate part of Location...Me.Date.Requery.
I feel that I may be well off track but that the answer I require is not too difficult. Please could someone advise?!?!
TIA.
--Update--
Think I've sorted it now everyone!!
My code looks like this, seems to do the trick.
Private Sub Combo15_AfterUpdate()
Me.Date = Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yy")
End Sub
I guess I should learn to try my hardest before posting here!! :)
Hi there,
I'd like to call a function when a bound textbox is updated and for some reasons it doesn't seem to work. It works when the textbox is unbound (or maybe I missed something)
Here is a very simplified version of the form:
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3618/apf4ax.jpg
MyFunction() is just a MsgBox for now and I'd like it to appear when the textbox in the main form is updated (i.e. when the text in the subform is updated). I set .AfterUpdate= "=MyFunction()" and .OnChange="=MyFunction()" but nothing happens.
(see attached code)
Thank you in advance !
Hello,
First post, new here. :)
I'm doing a course on Access and I'm trying to populate a text box based on the value I select in a combo box.
Basically, in the combo box I want to select a drug (for pets, it's for a veterinary clinic...) and in the text box next to it I want the cost to pop up. The list of drugs with their costs are listed in a separate table, with the drug name in column 1 (counting from 0) and the cost in column 3. I then have a continous form so I'd like to be able to keep adding drugs and their costs and then sum up the drug costs in a text box with the total.
Any help is much appreciated.
I have an afterupdate event that is supposed to send an email when a box is updated. Most of the times the code works fine except for one case.
The code checks the value of a field in subform in another tab of the same form
Code:
'find the MSM date
[Forms]![Project Main]![Marketing Specialist Main]![MSMDate].SetFocus
MSMDate = Nz([Forms]![Project Main]![Marketing Specialist Main]![MSMDate].value, "__-___-__")
This field (MSMDate) keeps its value in a separate table.
The problem comes when there is no value in this other table for the given project. If this is the case, the subform does not even appear on the main form (it is all a grey box) and the Setfocus returns an error.
I tried to comment the setfocus line to see what the NZ function would do in the next line and it also returns an error.
It is almost as if the subform was not "initialized" for that particular record...
How can I account for those cases?
