I am in Acess2000 and trying to go to put vb in. When I hit the code icon,
I get the message: "name of db" failed to create the VB module '|'.
Is anyone familiar with this message and what do I need to do. I just added this form, and in the other forms that have vb code already, I can get to them okay.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm wondering how other members here make decisions whether they want to place codes behind form or use a standard module instead.
I understand there is a performance penalty when you add another module (and use it), but am not sure whether one big fat module would be faster than several smaller modules with identical coding.
Furthermore, I know that some members use a hidden form to deal with startup and shutdown processing. Sometimes the processing has nothing to do with forms and would make more sense in a standard module, but since the form is already loaded, does it makes more sense to use the module behind the form than calling a function in a separate standard module to execute the needed code?
So, what do you tend to do in such situation?
I am creating an form in a database and whenever one of my procedure's run it creates this error message:
The expression ON Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
Member already exists in an object module from which this object module derives.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
An ideas?
I have a button on a form which calls a module to show a calendar form. The user picks date and time, and saves it. The calendar form closes and adds the date and time to a text box on the initial form.I want to save the record so that the underlying table/query is updated, but it's not working. The record is not saved until the initial form is closed.Here's the form vba...
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private blnFlag As Boolean, blnSaveIt As Boolean
Private Sub btnDelete_Click()

I'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "frmSales","frmNavigation.NavigationSubform", , ,acFormReadOnly
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?
Hi,
My mainform, which controls virtually all operations, has dissappeared.
Since itīs supposed to load when starting the database, the form actually loads, but you canīt see it in the forms window.
when I try to edit the code I get the message "module not found".
What do I do?
Thanks
Fuga.
Is the calling Form name or the event handler's sub name available in called module? I need it in order to determine the form's name as in [Forms]!someformname!some control.
View 7 Replies View RelatedYou know, when I create a new form and add a button to it. Then I add a new module and entered a public Sub in it. Once I switch back to the new form, I typed this below..
Code:Dim sTest as basTest
I noticed there is no "basTest" in the intellisense. Why? I kept getting a compiler error saying "A module is not a valid type". What do I need to do to fix that? I'm at loss on what's the problem is.
Thanks,

I have three forms - Form1,Form2 and Form3 linked to a navigation form with Navigation buttons. I have separate VBA codes under each Before update event of these forms, Form1,Form2 and Form3 to call a VBA module to track the changes performed by the users(Like an Audit Trail) in specified fields of the forms which will track them to a table.there are control tags in the form properties --> others --> Tag to track the changes in the fields which are defined in the VBA Module.this is the code to call the VBA Module:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.NewRecord Then
Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "NEW")
Else
Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "EDIT")
End If
End Sub
[code]....
The code is working perfect when the forms are run separately.but when they are run from the navigation form by clicking the navigation buttons, the code is not working !!
I want to put some form functions into a module.here is what I currently have in the module:
Public Sub Fun_Test()
Forms!Form_Output!Sequence.ColumnWidth = 250
End Sub
my form name is "Form_Output" but it still cant find it..
I have this code below that is working however the calculation are updating on my form late.
Basically, I have some calculation that are performed on a "After Update" event on some controls on my form. I wanted it to do the calculation after I update the control on the form.
The code is in a module and I just call the function after update on the control But the form is not updating when I change the value in a field. I have to change the field again for it to update.
Control
Code:
Call GeraAuditCalc
DoCmd.RefreshRecord
Function
Code:
Function GeraAuditCalc()
Dim fHrs As Double
Dim Ttl As Double
Dim Ttl1 As Double
Dim Ttl2 As Double

An instance of a form can be opened with:
Dim frm As Form
Set frm = New Form_formname
How can this be done using a variable as the formname?
I have the following module in my database to allow for multiple alarms.
It all works great, except before showing the actual alarm record called, the form first pops up showing the first record in its record source.
I.e. it flashes up showing the first record in the table, then changes to the 'correct' record.
I would just like to change it so it either doesn't show until the record is loaded, or it shows blank to begin with.
Here's the module...
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public clnPopUpAlarm As New Collection 'Instances of frmPopUpAlarm
[Code].....
Is there a limit to the number of fucntions/suroutines in a Form's module. I got an overflowerror when compiling and I moved a fucntion from the Forms mdoule to another module and the error did not re-appear.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a customizable report that would allow the users to choose fields. I have a pretty common code that I found online and adapted it, but it fails on the first SetReportControl function.
The error reads: Run-time error 2465: Application-defined or object-defined error
Could it be something as simple as an incorrect reference? I have checked multiple times, but I am stumped.

This is a trial run, in the end I need to be able to open a report, then adjust the Report controls within 1 or more subreports inside the main report. That is a battle for another day.
Hi, I hope someone can help. I know there are masses of threads on security but I can't find one that is similar to my problem.
I have a SQL 2005 database that uses an access front end AND an intranet front end, dependent on the user.
I need to write a security module to run both so that whether a user is on the access version or the intranet version the security will remain the same. The security will be maintained from within forms in access.
Has anyone done something similar or seen any articles on something like this that will help me.
Many thanks
:confused:
I have a bunch of Forms set up in Access that are updating tables etc......
At present 100% of the code is sitting on the Form. I have some code that is repeated because of a string parsing issue. What I am thinking of doing is writing this code as a couple modules and then call them when needed.
Does that make sense to write them as modules and call them?
How do you call a module???
Thanks
Please can anyone give me a piece of code to combine the text from memo fields in 25 different queries and put it in one text box for printing?

Hello,
I have created menu bars for my access application and now would like to transfer many pieces of code in modules so that they can run using macros. I beleive this is the only way I can make run my code from the menu bar. Correct?
I am having problems with the modules since I have never used them and would like some help.
Here is a sample of code I now have on a push button in a form:
Dim mydb As DAO.Database, MyRs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strCode As String
Dim strFilter As String
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Set mydb = CurrentDb
Set MyRs = mydb.OpenRecordset("master")
stDocName = "MASTER"
stLinkCriteria = "[SSN]=" & "'" & Me![SSN] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "TEMPLATES", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
Forms("EFORMS").Visible = False
Else
If IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "TEMPLATES", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("Appendtemplates")
End If
End If
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "195", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
Forms("EFORMS").Visible = False
Else
If IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "195", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("Append195")
End If
End If
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "795", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
Forms("EFORMS").Visible = False
Else
If IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "795", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("Append795")
End If
End If
If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "21", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
Forms("EFORMS").Visible = False
Else
If IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "21", "[SSN] = '" & Me!SSN & "'")) Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("Appendssa21tax")
End If
End If
Forms!eforms.lstPreInterview.Value = Null
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Eforms")
DoCmd.RunMacro ("CloseEforms")
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Eforms")
End Sub
What I need is to add this code to a module, and make it run using a manu bar (I assume via macro). Thanks.
I was doing a compact and repair when I got this error message.
Now when I try to open my database all I get is this message:
"Module not found"
:eek:
Am I screwed or is there maybe possible silver bullet??
Thanks for any help
hello all
i need a small thing to change in a module but am not too familiar with vb so i reached a dead end, here's the story:
i have a 'dog pedigree' database that i was working on, now there's a report where a dog's parents, their parents, and their parents need to be shown
that turned out to be out of my league so i paid a guy to do it for me, it worked except he didn't do exactly what's need and i can't get to him now :S
anyway, in the report page,
you can notice that the name of each parent is shown, but i want the registration number of the parents to show as well,
i tried modifying the module but it didn't work (am not a vb user), so can anyone help me add the reg number to the name of the parents?
also, in the report, the dog's color is appearing as a number instead of an actual color so if that can be fixed as well ...
to understand better:
record 1 in dogs, click the preview diploma button
you'll notice "tat" as dogname and "ry245" below that as registration number
now sire is "pat" and dam is "titu", i want their registration numbers to show as well (and same for the rest of the parents)
i uploaded the file here for a closer look:

thanks :)
Hi
I how such code:
Public Function fConList()
Dim DB As DAO.Database
Dim RS As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strText As String
strSQL = "SELECT Contact.To FROM Contact" '
Set DB = CurrentDb
'Open a Recordset and loop through it to fill the text box txtTest
Set RS = DB.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenForwardOnly)
How to put some other query given by name to instead of putting sql directly into string?
I have also textfield that has this =fConList() as source.
Is it possible that i will have some combo box or list of queries and one button. When i press this button the name of the query in the function will change to the chosen One from the list.
Any Ideas?
i'm beginner so,
Thanks in Advance for some examples
I have created a query that includes a module that determine what the actual order date should be. This works correctly. Now, I want to take that date in another query to only show rows where RPODate exceed the recommended date.
I keep getting an error stating the query is to complex. If I run it without the >Checkdate in the criteriea for RPODate it's fine.
Any ideas?
Query 1 with module
SELECT qryInstallationRPOrdered.ProjectID, qryInstallationRPOrdered.Phase, qryInstallationRPOrdered.Unit, qryInstallationRPOrdered.Tract, qryInstallationRPOrdered.Release, qryInstallationRPOrdered.DelDate, qryInstallationRPOrdered.InstallDate, qryInstallationRPOrdered.State, qryInstallationRPOrdered.RPODate, qryInstallationRPOrdered.NVDate AS CheckDate
FROM qryInstallationRPOrdered
WHERE (((qryInstallationRPOrdered.State)="NV"));
Query 2
SELECT qryInstallationRPONV.ProjectID, qryInstallationRPONV.Phase, qryInstallationRPONV.Unit, qryInstallationRPONV.Tract, qryInstallationRPONV.Release, qryInstallationRPONV.DelDate, qryInstallationRPONV.InstallDate, qryInstallationRPONV.State, qryInstallationRPONV.RPODate, qryInstallationRPONV.CheckDate
FROM qryInstallationRPONV
WHERE (((qryInstallationRPONV.CheckDate)>[RPODate]));
I've been using Access for a while now, to track some names, addresses, locations, etc. Recently, when I try to generate a report, I step through the field selection, etc, and when I get to the "sort" page, if I just keep going, it proceeds fine. If I select a field to sort on, however, I get the following message:
"The expression Before Update you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: The function you entered can't be used in this expression.
*The expression may not result in the mane of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluation the function, event, or macro."
I don't think I've changed anything to do with the program, or any of its Office brethren. Can anybody give me some advice? The report is generally useless without the ability to sort/group.
Thanks, all.
How to run a module in the macro?
Which step can run a module.
There is only option to openmodule action.
Please clarify
Hi,
I'm trying to reference a control in a subform from a module but I keep getting errors!
Here's what I've tried.. and what error I've been getting:
First try:
GetCboEntries = Forms.frmMain!frmSub.Form![cboEntries].Column(1)
(where frmSub is the name of the actual form in the subform control)
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Second try:
GetCboActivities = Forms.frmMain!chdMain.Form![cboEntries].Column(1)
(where chdMain is the name of the subform control)
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Third try:
GetCboEntries=Forms!NameOfMainForm!NameOfSubform![cboEntries].Column(1)
Error: Run-time error '2450':
Microsoft Access can't find the form 'frmMain' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
