Catch A Null Primary Key Error
Jul 21, 2006Hey guys,
Anyone know how to go about catching the "Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value." message box and perhaps showing a custom message instead?
Thanks in advance,

Primary Key Cannot Take NuLL Value
Jul 26, 2006hey guys. i have a field by the name of ISSUE. i am using this afterupdate event procedure
which is as follow:
Private Sub ISSUE_AfterUpdate()
If Not IsNull(ISSUE) Then
ISSUE = Format(ISSUE, "000000")
End If
End Sub
if a user enter like (23) in my ISSUE field my procedure will run and it will replace
the number by (000023) to make it a six digit. i wanted to create a primary key so then a user cannot enter the same number again
or cannot duplicate a record but i cannot because primary key cannot take a null value. Can you all tell me anything to add in my procedure so that once the number is entered like (23)
another user cannot enter (23) again in the record.
Thanks

Jun 5, 2015I recently acquired a database that is already established. When entering new date the primary key is null. I've looked at the properties and the best I can figure is it has something to do with a missing property called New Values.

Need Urgent Help - Index Or Primary Key Cannot Contain Null Value
Oct 7, 2004I have a form with a tab control. On the 2nd tab, I have a subform. This subform is linked to the Primary key of the Mainform. They both use the same query. when this form loads, it goes to a new record. I can update that record and go to the 2nd tab to enter more information for that record, and it works fine, however, if i then go from an existing record to a new record, i can enter all the information on the first tab, but when i go to the 2nd tab, i get Index or Primary key cannot contain null value. If i go back to the first tab, then right back to the 2nd tab, everything works. Why is it doing this?? please help urgent. here's my code:
Tabcontrol On change:

I think maybe what i need is an event on my subform that navigates the record on the subform to the same record that is on my main form. I think my subform is staying on a new record. Please help me ASAP!
Tables :: Two Part Primary Key With One Null Value
Jun 25, 2013I have just inherited a database that currently has no primary key set up. I wanted to add a two part primary key, but have run into a couple problems. The purpose of the database is to keep track of parts that have come back for repair. I wanted to set the key up to be a combination of the call number and the part serial number. I should always have a serial number, but the serial number can be in the table more than once, as it could have needed repaired more than once. I will normally have a call number for each record.
However, the call number could be repeated more than once, if more than one part came in on the call. The combination between call number and serial number should always be unique (each time a part comes in, it should be on a different call). My problem is arising, when a part is just pulled off the shelf of the factory and sent in for an upgrade. In a case like that, there is no call number. However, a serial number will never come in more than once without a call number.
So the combination of call number and serial number should still remain unique. When I try to set this up in the database, it tells me that the primary key cannot contain a null value (referring to the times that a serial number comes in without a call number). I want to get this set up so that the people entering data in the database will not be able to enter the call number, serial number combination more than once. How can I do this if one part of the primary key can be null?
Forms :: Index Or Primary Key - Null Value
May 16, 2014I am running up against an error "Index or Primary Key Cannot Contain Null Value". In the dialog box it doesn't give the RTE number just the description, OK & Help buttons. After some searching the description matches RTE 3058.
I have identified why it's happening and through a process of elimination it's happening in the Before Update event of a subform. I have tried to catch it in an error handler so I can have a bespoke dialog box to inform the user exactly why it's happened and then undo, but it just goes straight to the dialog box.
How I can catch this?

CSV File - Index Or Primary Key Cannot Contain A Null Value
Nov 11, 2014I have a .csv file that I am trying to import via:
External Data > Text File
My Delimiter is a | . My Text Qualifier is a "
I keep getting the error Index Or Primary Key cannot contain a null value.
However, I have manually gone through and removed all Indexes. There is also no primary key defined:
1. Is Access trying to identify a primary key for me?
2. Since I have not defined a primary key how can there be a null value in it?
I have tried to:
1. Add an additional AutoNumber Field (Indexed=True, No Duplicates) but this did not seem to fix the issue.
2. To Not import the fields that I suspect are being categorized as a primary key.
Form Reporting Null Value In Primary Field
Aug 7, 2005Hey Guys
I'm having abit of bother with a database I'm fooling around with.
Basically it has 4 main tables at the moment.
Personal Details
Participant ID (Autonumber)
etc
Training Details
Participant ID (Number)
Attendance ID (Text Field) Auto generated by expression =[Participant ID]&[Course Code]&[Level Code]
etc
Attendance Records
Attendance ID (Text Field)
Review ID (Text Field) Auto generated by expression =[Attendance ID]&[Month]
Reviews
Review ID (Text Field)
etc
These tables are linked by standard one to many relationships. (http://www.flamingbird.com/relationship.png)
Everything worked fine until I decided to Auto Generate the Attendance IDs and Review IDs to save confusion amongst those administering it.
Now it reports when I try to add a new record to the tables with the Auto generated IDs that:-
Index or Primary Key cannot contain a null value.
It appears the auto generated ID's are being mistaken for NULL values!
Anyone any ideas as to why this is happening? This is really my first time trying anything this complex, every other database I've done relied heavily on the data inputer.
Oh and its Office 2003, but the database is in 2000 format cos not all the office has office 2003 just the training end.
Many thanks

Splitting Database - Index Or Primary Key Cannot Contain A Null Value
Mar 6, 2014I've inherited a rather messy database which and I need to split it in order for us all to be able to enter data at the same time without problems however I get the following message..Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value..It happens at the table that contains the majority of the data (typical) but I cannot understand what could be causing it. I've check Null Primary Key field and removed all of the "required" statuses out of the fields but still no luck.
I tested on a backup database from a couple of days ago and it worked. Only difference is I've added a few bits and bobs since then and 1 field in the table it's stalling on but this field doesn't contain any null values either and I've tried deleting that field in my test database but made no difference.
General :: Record Is Deleted / Index Or Primary Key Cannot Contain A Null Value
Sep 23, 2014I've designed a DB in access which has a BackEnd and 2 FrontEnds (one person insert all the records and the others just keep inserting infos till the process is finished.The DB has 12 tables and we used it for about 6 months without having any trouble but recently (2 weeks ago) i've add 3 new tables and then related them to one table that already exist.
The DB was running smoothly for a week after the changes but last monday (09/15) the "Record is deleted" appeared. I've compacted and repaired an the following errors descriptions appeared:
ErrorCode: -1017
ErrorDescription: Record is deleted.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
ErrorCode: -1053
ErrorDescription: Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
ErrorCode: -1630
ErrorDescription: You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'TblExpense'.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
I've restored the file via IT using the Backup2 days before the error occurred but after 30 minutes the same error appeared! I dont know if it is related to the new tables that i have add or no?

Tables :: Setting Primary Keys To More Than One Field In Table / But They Cannot Have Null Values
Nov 30, 2012Access 2010..One organization that we work with provides us with a block of numbers for each of the two types of contract products we order from them; we do order non-contract stuff from them also.The block of numbers are the same (i.e. 20000 to 30000 this year) for each of the two products. This means that each product can have the number 20000, for example. We call this the Tracking Number. If it is one of these products, we need to select the Contract Number.
For all other one off orders we have with them, we assign our own Tracking Number starting with 00001. This Tracking Number cannot duplicate unless it is one of the aforementioned two products.Both the Tracking Number and Contract Number are in the same table. The user selects the Contract Number from a form (connected to the Contract Number table that has all the details on the contract) and the Contract Number is populated in the same table that has the Tracking Number.Each order must have a Tracking Number (no null)..Not all orders need a Contract Number (null okay).The Tracking Number and Contract Number combination cannot duplicate.I tried setting the primary keys to more than one field in the table, but they cannot have null values.
If not... I have been working on Plan B.... an AfterUpdate on the form (either the form or a field... don't know yet) that looks at a query that only has results if there are duplicate values.

Query Ignoring 'zero' Catch Sets
Jan 6, 2006I have a db with two tables linked by a Set_ID field. One table characterizes set information (date, time, location etc) and the other table has records for groups of fish caught in the set. The fish_table has (amongt others) a field for species (text), clip-status (yes/no), coded wire tag status (yes/no), and 'count' (number). The count field is necessary to allow input of groups of fish en-masse, or individually, depending on the amount of accessory information obtained.
Obviously, some sets catch no fish and so no record is entered into the fish table for those sets.
When I design a query, I want to produce a table that sums up the count field for each set, and produces subtotals for each species (and for the 4 variations of the clip/tag status fields).
My efforts so far are only partially succesful in that I can produce the correct subtotals, but only for sets where something was caught. Sets with no corresponding fish_table record are ignored instead of treated as zeroes.
Is it necessary to manually enter a 'zero' count for each species of interest for each set that we do? (Massively time consuming) Or is there some other way to query the db that forces the query to equate no fish record with a zero value?
Any thoughts? I've searched the forum, and googled, but haven't come across anything I could recognise as analogous to my dilema.
Limiting Records Retrieved To 10... With A Catch.
Jul 12, 2007Hello all,
I am a buyer and I'm attempting to create a query in Access 2003 that will list all of my vendors (20 in total) and their top 10 selling sku's. Here are the fields I am using:
Buyer_Code
Supplier_Number
name
Sku_Global
OEM_Number
Part_Description_English
Status
C_Last12_SLS_QTY
I have created one Query including all of the above fields as well as the following field, "XP1: GetTen([Supplier_Number])"
In this query I have set "Supplier_Number" to sort ascending and "C_Last12_SLS_QTY" to sort descending.
I then created a module, written as follows:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public wSUPPLIER_NUMBER As String
Public wNum As Integer
Function GetTen(SUPPLIER_NUMBER) As Long
If wSUPPLIER_NUMBER = SUPPLIER_NUMBER Then
wNum = wNum + 1
Else
wNum = 1
End If
If wNum > 10 Then
GetTen = 0
Else
GetTen = wNum
End If
wSUPPLIER_NUMBER = SUPPLIER_NUMBER
End Function
I then created a second query with all of the above fields, and the criteria for the XP1 field as ">0"
As far as I can tell, this should bring me back a list with the first 10 rows for each of my Supplier numbers... unfortunately it is for some and for others it's bringing back more than 10 rows. The other problem is that it seems to be picking random rows to bring back, and not just the first 10 (which because in query1 I set the C_LAST12_SLS_QTY field to sort descending, should be my top 10 selling sku's).
Does anyone have any idea as to what I've done wrong? I'm pretty new with Access so I may be missing something pretty simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sub Reports With No Data - How Do I Catch And Prevent Errors In Calculations
Jun 15, 2004I have come across this problem several times. I have sub reports on a report and calculations are done using the data in the sub report. In many instances the subreport is empty. The calculated fields read #error. (otherwise the report runs well and records with data calculate fine) I would like to hide these errors and associated labels when the subreport is empty. Everything I have tried either does nothing (error still appears in text box - but runs ok otherwise) or I get a runtime error since it is trying to access "nothing" in the sub report.
How can I catch and therefore react on this empty sub report. (or subform too)
Thanks

Bizarre Null Error?
May 25, 2005Greetings all,
I'll try to make this as simple as possible, but please ask for clarification if I'm unclear:
*I have one pass-through query to Informix that pulls all available class schedule information.
*I have another local query that uses information in a local table to restrict that query to a particular year and semester, chosen by the user.
*I have a function TimeConv that takes the numeric value used in the Informix db to store times (e.g., "1300") and converts it into a real time value (e.g., "1:00:00 PM").
The problem is this:
While the TimeConv function by itself always works in the local query, if I try to perform any comparisons on it, I get the error message "Invalid Use of Null". There are no null records in the restricted data. If I put the semester and year restriction directly into the pass-through query instead of the local query, the comparison operations work just fine. (But it's important that the user be able to change this without editing the SQL directly.) Only when that restriction is in the local query do I get the error message.
I've tried several ways of filtering out Null values from both queries, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. If I Nz() the fields before passing them to the TimeConv function, I instead get the error "Invalid procedure or argument call", I believe because it insists on reading "0000" as "0", which is too few digits for the function to work.
I get the same results if I try to run it through yet a third (local) query.
Relevant code and SQL below. I'm really stumped on this one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Pass-through query (qryPassJoin1):
SELECT t3.days, t3.room, t2.crs_no, t3.bldg, t3.mtg_no, t1.sec_no, t3.beg_date,
t3.end_date, t3.beg_tm, t3.end_tm, t9.sex, t5.abbr_name, t1.yr, t1.sess
FROM informix.sec_rec t1, informix.crs_rec t2, informix.acad_cal_rec t7,
outer (informix.secmtg_rec t8, outer informix.mtg_rec t3), outer
informix.dept_table t6, outer informix.schd_comment_rec t4, outer
(informix.fac_rec t5, outer informix.profile_rec t9)
WHERE t1.cat="UG93" and t1.crs_no=t2.crs_no and t1.cat=t2.cat and
t1.crs_no=t8.crs_no and t1.cat=t8.cat and t1.yr=t8.yr and t1.sess=t8.sess and
t1.sec_no=t8.sec_no and t8.mtg_no=t3.mtg_no and t1.crs_no=t4.crs_no and t1.cat=t4.cat
and t1.yr=t4.yr and t1.sess=t4.sess and t1.sec_no=t4.sec_no and t1.fac_id=t5.id
and t2.crs_no NOT IN
("JFESSA", "FRESSA", "SOESSA", "JRESSA", "MAESSA", "MAORAL", "DEPO", "DEPO2", "SRESSA", "SRORAL")
and t2.dept=t6.dept and t7.prog=t2.prog and t7.sess=t1.sess and t7.yr=t1.yr
and t5.id=t9.id;
If I add this criteria, functionally equivalent to the first WHERE statement in the local query below, it all works fine:
AND t1.yr=2005 AND t1.sess="SU"
Local Query (qryCatalog):
SELECT qpj1.days, qpj1.room, qpj1.crs_no, qpj1.bldg, qpj1.mtg_no, qpj1.sec_no,
qpj1.beg_date, qpj1.end_date, qpj1.beg_tm, qpj1.end_tm, qpj1.sex,
qpj1.abbr_name, DateDiff('h',TimeConv([beg_tm]),TimeConv([end_tm])) AS NoLongLab
FROM qryPassJoin1 AS qpj1, tblSettings
WHERE (((qpj1.beg_tm)>0) AND ((CInt([yr]))=CInt([tblSettings].[catyear])) AND
((qpj1.sess)=[tblsettings].[catsess]));
The comparison criterion I would like to add here is:
AND ((DateDiff('h',TimeConv([beg_tm]),TimeConv([end_tm])))<=2)
Function TimeConv:
Public Function timeconv(numtime As Variant) As Date
timeconv = CDate(Left([numtime], (Len([numtime]) - 2)) & ":" & Right([numtime], 2))
End Function
Error If Null Field
May 9, 2006I would like a MsgBox to pop up for the user if the Priority field is blank and the box count is not. I tried doing this on the report but the report will just not run. So I considered adding a module to the query.
However, I get a Data type mismatch. Below is the module and query. Can someone help me with this?
Function ErrorPriorityReport(ByVal BackPriority As Integer, ByVal BackBoxes As Integer, ByVal Priority As Integer, ByVal SumOfBoxes As Integer) As String
If BackPriority Is Null And BackBoxes <> Null Then
MsgBox "Report will be inaccurate! There are blank priorities. Please run report on Customer Menu!", vbOKOnly, "Missing Priority"
End If
If Priority Is Null And SumOfBoxes <> Null Then
MsgBox "Report will be inaccurate! There are blank priorities. Please run report on Customer Menu!", vbOKOnly, "Missing Priority"
End If
End Function
Here is the field in the query calling the module:

Error When SQL Returns NULL Value
Nov 30, 2006Hi,
I have a webpage which shows some results upon executing some SQL statements. However, i will met with some problems when the SQL statements return a NULL value therefore i would like to do some error checking such that when the SQL statement returns NULL, i will direct the user to another page.
Is it possible for me to try sth such as:
if strSQL = SELECT .. FROM .. WHERE .. = NULL then
response redirect ...
Was wondering if anybody would be able to give me some advise.
Thank you.
