I've got my form working, and all of the record updating is working fine, so now I am working on error trapping. I need to check if any of the two textboxes are empty, or nothing has been selected from the combobox. I am using the BeforeUpdate method. I am not getting any syntax errors. I am using an INSERT INTO SQL statement. Thanks.
related DB fields:
SOPNumber (text)
RevisionNumber (text)
TrainingDate (date/time)
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.cboSOPNumber) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "The SOP number is required", vbOKOnly, "Notice"
Me.cboSOPNumber.SetFocus
End If
If IsNull(Me.txtRevisionNumber) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "The Revision Number is required", vbOKOnly, "Notice"
Me.txtRevisionNumber.SetFocus
End If
If IsNull(Me.txtTrainingDate) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "The training date is required", vbOKOnly, "Notice"
Me.txtTrainingDate.SetFocus
End If
Private Sub NextApplication_Click() On Error GoTo Err_NextApplication_Click DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
Exit_NextApplication_Click: Exit Sub
Err_NextApplication_Click: If Err.Number = 2105 Then MsgBox "Cannot navigate to the next record. This is the last record." Else MsgBox Err.Description End If
Resume Exit_NextApplication_Click
End Sub
but even when this error occurs nothing is being properly handled the way i specified - any ideas ?
I have the following in the after update event in a Combo bound to a tbl on a Main form; Sub Combo8_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[Vendor] = '" & Me![Combo8] & "'" Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark End Sub
The Combo gets its data from a table and I use the Not In List to add data which is not in the Tbl and of course Limit To List is set to Yes. It works ok with one exception, when data is entered, but not saved, then deleted And the form closed. In this set of circumstances I get an error in the code above. Granted that normally a user will not delete data from the combo then exit the form but it does happen occasionally. I have tried adding On error goto.... but with no luck. Any suggestions?
So on the offchance that two clients are trying to autogenerate a key at exactly the same time, I'm trying to trap the 3022 error raised when a duplicate key is entered so that I can repeat the operation with a goto.
I'm raising the error with requery like this:
DoCmd.Save acForm, Me.Name 'next line triggers 3022 DoCmd.Requery
After I realised that the normal handler wouldn't trap it I got the database from this thread:
I have a VBA code that runs an append query to update a table. Due to relationship integrity a validation error shows (a type does not exist in the connected table): What I want to do is trap the error and write something that the user can understand. Help !
The Code: Code:Private Sub Report_Deactivate()Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response, MyStringMsg = "Click OK to Import Verified Data to the Invoice Table"Style = vbYesNo + vbMsgSetForegroundTitle = "Verify Import"Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)If Response = vbYes Then 'This is the problem line DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_Step_5_appending_invoices", acViewNormal, acEdit DoCmd.OpenQuery "Qry_Step_6_update_fob", acViewNormal, acEditElse MyString = "No"End IfEnd Sub
I have a "homemade" switchboard that I am using and the first page allows the choice of administrator or user. I have used access user level security to deny all but administrators access to the administrator "path" in my switchboard.
When a user clicks on it, they get the runtime error 2603 saying that they don't have access. I am trying to modify the on error event so that the error won't show up and a custom message box I create will show up instead, however I cannot seem to get my on error code to do anything. I always get the standard access runtime error return box. Does anyone have any ideas??
I have an "Error trapping" problem. I am relatively new to VBA and wondered if someone would be so kind and point out the error in my code.
I have a form "frmSelectInvoices" that opens another form, "frmInvoice".
I use the Select Invoices form to select completed jobs that are not invoiced, based on a query.
The user would then select a job that he/she wants to invoice, and "frmInvoice" opens in front of "frmSelectInvoice".
"frmInvoice" is based on "tblInvoices" and a couple of the required fields, (customer, JobID, etc) are filled-in automatically using the information from a couple of fields from "frmSelectInvoice"
"frmInvoice" also has an InvoiceNumber field which tblInvoices needs as it is set as a required field with no duplicates, (this is NOT the primary key).
I am trying to notify the user that the InvoiceNumber has already been used, and to reset the record, so they can enter a new Invoice Number.
The code I have so far is as follows; Code:Private Sub Notes_Exit(Cancel As Integer)On Error GoTo Err_SameNumber Dim iResponse As Integer iResponse = MsgBox("Do you wish to Print an Invoice", vbYesNo, "SELECT AN OPTION") If iResponse = vbYes Then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord Forms!frmSelectInvoice!Invoiced.Value = True Forms!frmSelectInvoice.Requery DoCmd.Save acForm, "frmInvoice" DoCmd.OpenReport "rptInvoice", acNormal, "", "[pkInvoiceID]=[Forms]![frmInvoice]![pkInvoiceID]" Me.btnClose.SetFocus Exit Sub End If If iResponse = vbNo Then MsgBox "You can Print it out later from the Invoices Main Menu", , "You Selected NO" End If DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord Forms!frmSelectInvoice!Invoiced.Value = True Forms!frmSelectInvoice.Requery Me.btnClose.SetFocusExit_SameNumber:DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec Me.fkBookingID.Value = Forms!frmSelectInvoice!pkBookingID.Value Me.fkCustomerID.Value = Forms!frmSelectInvoice!fkCustomerID.ValueMe.InvoiceNumber.SetFocusExit SubErr_SameNumber: MsgBox "Invoice Number has already been used", vbInformation, "Please use a New Invoice Number" Resume Exit_SameNumberEnd Sub When I test the form with a number I know already exists, or even a number that has not been used before, the error message comes up and it then sets the focus to InvoiceNumber, but when I try and close the form it still keeps coming up and the only way I can get rid of it is to close the application using Windows Task Manager. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanx
Hi guys, I was looking for a way to trap err.number 3314 (when required field is null) before Jet generates its warning. I came across an old post from Rich (below), but I couldn't make it work as yet. In the calling form, under the Form_Error event I wrote the following:
Dim f As Form Set f = Me Call fnValidateForm(f)
Could anyone please tell me where my error lays here? I have several forms which have several text and/or combo boxes bound to required fields and I would want to have a generic code, like the one here to trap errors before Jet shows it's Error Message.
Thanks in advance Regards Jaime Premy - Belém-Brasil
******************Rich's Function******************** Public Function fnValidateForm(frmA As Form) As Boolean Dim ctl As Control Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response, MyString fnValidateForm = True For Each ctl In frmA.Controls 'value in the control is required If InStr(1, ctl.Tag, "Required") > 0 Then ' no value entered or value is null ' or zero for numeric fields If (IsNull(ctl.Value)) Or (Len(ctl.Value) = 0) Then ctl.SetFocus MsgBox "You have not entered all the required fields return to the record and correct this! The record will not be saved if you do not! " fnValidateForm = False
Exit For End If
If InStr(1, ctl.Tag, "NumberRequired") > 0 Then If ctl.Value = 0 Then ctl.SetFocus MsgBox "You have not entered all the required fields return to the record and correct this! The record will not be saved if you do not! " fnValidateForm = False
Ok, I have a delete query that I use to delete records form a table. I have created a form that I run that query from. It has Delete button that runs the query. After I get the message that says "You are about to delete 56 records" and I click No, I get a "run-time error '3059'. Operation Cancel by user"
I did some searching on the forum and thought I could trap this error. But I still continue to get the error at
"DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit"
What am I doing wrong and how can I prevent this error from appearing when I click NO or cancel the operation.
Private Sub cmdDelete_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdDelete_Click
cmdDelete_Error: Select Case Err.Number Case 3059 MsgBox "You have canceled the delete operation.", vbOKOnly, "Delete Canceled" Exit Sub Case Else MsgBox "Error number: " & Err.Number & " has occurred. " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly, "Error" End Select
I've made my own record navigation buttons on a form. they work fine, except when i get to the first record. if i click 'previous' then the 2105 error pops up "you can't go to specified record". the buttons were created through the wizard, and have error trapping in them. for some reason, it never actually goes to the error handler. the error message comes up, i press debug, and the 'DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious' is highlighted.
any ideas why the error trapping isn't working? here's the code:
Private Sub cmdPrevJob_Click() Dim x As Variant On Error GoTo Err_cmdPrevJob_Click DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious Exit_cmdPrevJob_Click: Exit Sub Err_cmdPrevJob_Click: If Err.Number = 2105 Then stop MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdPrevJob_Click End Sub
I've got a form with Text boxes StartDate (datatype = Date / Time) and Interval (datatype = Numeric). Both text boxes are bound controls.
I'd like to validate whether summing the StartDate with the Interval entered results in a calculated date, falling on either Saturday or Sunday. If so, the Interval needs to be reset so that the calculated day will fall on the first Monday falling after the StartDate.
The code I've got so far results in an error:
Run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009):
The macro or function set to the BeforeUpdate or ValidationRule property for this field is preventing Microsoft Access from saving the data in the field.
I can understand why this error is generated. What I can't figure out is how to adapt the code. The AfterUpdate event is no option as this is triggered too late...
BTW, I'm on Access2000
Here's the code I've got so far:
Private Sub Interval_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Response Dim strInterval As Integer
If Weekday(Me.Startdatum + Me.Interval, vbMonday) = 6 Or Weekday(Me.Startdatum + Me.Interval, vbMonday) = 7 Then Response = MsgBox("Eerstvolgende klusdatum valt in het weekend, laten vallen op maandag?", vbYesNo) End If If Response = vbYes Then strInterval = 8 - Weekday(Me.Startdatum, vbMonday) Me.Interval = strInterval Else If Response = vbNo Then Me.Undo End If End If
I am using following routine to lift data from Excel files into Access tables. Whole thing works, well, most of the time. The only issue I have is the spreadsheets are received from warehouses and even though they have been given strict instruction to stick to the template, I have had to adjust the spreadsheets. Amongst errors I get are:
Field 'F16' does not exist in table 'SA1'. (In this case I simply delete the last most empty column to fix this).
Or there are column name spellings and in such cases, I get no error and the simply code hangs.
Is there any routine that I could incorporate in the code that clearly states what issues are being experienced. This way I can pass the db to the user to run it themselves.
'Dim dbs As Database, tdf As TableDef Set dbs = CurrentDb On Error GoTo Macro1_Err DoCmd.SetWarnings False ' RunSQL executes a SQL string
What's the best way to trap the error I get when I don't input the time correctly in a date/time control?? I have a the following as an input mask: 99:00 >LL;0;_...02:30 PM
I have a subform that has the Expense Code from the Expense Codes Table and I want to look up the Description (yes I know its not correctly spelled in the formula but it is in the table)
Hi, when I run a simple append query, I get the following message below (See attached) I tried the solution in microsofts website that I have to set all text fields to AllowZeroLength to Yes, and i did that in both the table the data comes from, and the table the data is appended to. Still cant get it to work? Any other suggestions or is there somthign simple that im missing?
I have a form that has a single bound text box that is set to currency. The table is also set as currency with decimal places set at 2. I have my own save button
Now I want to catch if the user types in text instead of numers and display a suitable error message.
When the user presses the save button I call this code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
heres the before update event
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo errHandle
If Not IsNumeric(hourlyRate) Then
MsgBox "Please enter a number for the hourly rate", vbInformation hourlyRate.SetFocus Cancel = True Else If (hourlyRate < 0) Then MsgBox "Please enter a positive hourly rate", vbInformation hourlyRate.SetFocus Cancel = True End If End If Exit Sub errHandle: MsgBox Err.Description & " " & Err.Number Resume Next End Sub
However the update event isnt called and I get an access message saying that the value you entered isnt correct for the field blah blah blah.
Q - How do I stop this access message from being shown???
btw - If I enter in a negative number my message box is shown, and then i get another access message saying that the run command was cancelled.
I not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have searched several forums and "think" I'm doing this the same way.
I'm trying to validate some fields before allowing the record to be saved, which if the user doesn't fill in the appropiate fields then the msgbox does fire, and the record is not saved but my problem is that I don't want the form to close. I would like to force the user back to the form and fill in the required fields. Any idea's as to why the forms closes?
Here's my code.
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then With ctl If ctl.Tag = "Required" Then If ctl.Value = "" Or IsNull(ctl.Value) Then Me.PartNumber.SetFocus MsgBox "Missing data" Cancel = True ctl.Undo End If End If End With End If
I've a form in which one of the fields the user enters is supposed to be a unique id. The unique id is an alphanumeric text box.
However, it's possible that another user enters an id that has already been previously used.
I'm thinking that I need to run a Find Duplicates Query with the text box entry and a table that holds all the previously entered ids prior to the form being saved so that I can inform the user of the possible duplication.
My question is are there any ideas on how I can do this or code it?
I have the following code entered on a subform:Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me.RegVerify = -1 And Me.RegStatus = 0 Then Dim strMsg As String strMsg = "This household has not been registered." & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & _ "Do you wish to register the household now?" If MsgBox(strMsg, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Register Household?") = vbYes Then Me.RegStatus = -1 Me.CurrentYearRegDate = Format(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy") Else End If End If End SubThe code is placed on the subform 'Form_Main_Hshld' with the intention that if the 'RegVerify' checkbox is selected the data entry person will receive a reminder that they did not register the current household. The code seemed to work fine, but there are 4 subforms on the 'Form_Main_Hshld' form and if any of those are selected the code will run inadvertantly. Is there anyway to code so that the program only runs the verification process when moving between records on the 'Form_Main_Hshld' form?
I'm a total novice with VBA/Access so would desperately appreciate some help!
After making some amendments to an Access form I didn't set up, I came across a runtime error 2115 (about BeforeUpdate).
I think that the code I have causes a further set of data input boxes to appear, dependent on whether 2 separate checkboxes are ticked or not. Anyway, the only thing I changed to the database that I can think of was adding an autonumber to the main table. It all seemed to be working before I did that.
Any help on this is much appreciated. (and yes, I've learned my lesson and won't be touching somebody elses database again!!)
Thanks.

I have pasted the code that SJ posted on another thread that any changes to a record will ask the user to save before closing the form, this located in the beforeupdate event.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If MsgBox("Save changes?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Cancel = True End Sub
The problem i am getting is that if the user selects no it pops up another message saying "You can't save the record at this time" followed by a description. How do i prevent this second message appearing i cannot find a thread with this in?
I have a form where I want to validate enties before moving off the record.
I put my validation in the BeforeUpdate event of the form. If validation fails, then I set Cancel=True. So far, so good.
But if the user closes the form (either with my close button, or the standard close button), or presses 'Page down' to move to the next record, then even if validation fails, the form will close (or move record). What I want is for the user to be left with the form open, on the current record.
Question - How do you do data validation during the BeforeUpdate event? How do you halt the event without getting an error message?
I have tried the following:
If (Me.Control.Value <> "") Then 'Do nothing. Else Msgbox "Please enter a value for Control." Cancel = True End If
When Cancel = True is executed, I get the following message: You can't save this record at this time. DatabaseName may have encountered an error while trying to save a record. If you close this object now, the data changes you made will be lost. Do you want to close the database object anyway?
I can't seem to halt or "cancel" the BeforeUpdate event without getting this error message. After hours of looking for this answer, any suggestions would be appreciated.
I like having the action query warning appear with what I am doing - "You are about to update xxx rows". The problem that I am having is that when my RunSQL statement in the code executes and selects no to the warning, I get the error -
Run-time Error '2501' The RunSQL action was canceled.
How can I trap the no selection so that this vba error does not appear?
