In MS Access 2003 my tables are linked via a SQL Server.
I'd like to change the default long-winded 'ODBC etc etc 'error message when a duplicate PK is added to a table to a more user friendly 'plain english' message.
Can this be done is Access, VBA or even on the SQL server? (which I have acces to).
Thanks
:confused: I am having troubles in a form, whilst navigating through records shown in a form view, upon coming to the end of the recordset the default macro message box appears telling me its the end of the record set and then a second box appears after asking me to 'halt' the macros actions.
What I would like is to put in a customised message box telling me the end of recordset is nigh but I cannot get into the cod for the macro, I have been told you can and Im sure I have done it before.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hello to you all, it's my 1st post here…
How can I change the default message (as you can see in the picture) that appear every time that I try to update my record?
I want to write something like "You Have to select a different Number"
And one more question, the message only appear when I'm pressing the record selectorbutton only after the user has already filled all the form) is there a possibility that I can write a code that will check for duplicate data immediately after the user typed it?
Thanks for your help

Hi everybody,
Beginner here needs help !
I'm building a make-table query for which if the result is null (no record correspond to the set of criterias), a default message like "there was no activity during the period" would appear in the table (not a message box...I need the message in the output table). The best I could think of is an IIF function but it doesn't seem to work... Is there any way to do this without using VBA?
Thanks in advance !
Friends, as I have not received a response to a previous question, I am again posting my problem trying to bee more clear.
I have developed a search form with a txtbox and a cmdbutton to open a form based on a query.
The cmdbutton opens a form if the record is found. Can anyone help me with VBA to display a No Record Found message?

If IsNull(Me.txtsearch) Then
DoCmd.CancelEvent
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "myform", acNormal, "myquery", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.Echo True, ""

I have been tasked with building an Access MDB Database for absolute beginners and i need to guide them as fool proof as possible through the database
My Question is
I need to write a Macro or VBA and I need to warn the user if they are trying to move to the 1st record or the last record in the database
I would like to give it my own message box stating that is not possible to go further
Is this possible using a Macro or using VBA
Hi All,
This is my first post here and I imagine there will be many more as I have only just started out using Access to create a database at work and I am sure that I'm breaking many rules along the way.
Anyway, over the weekend, my boss tried to add some information (to the "Memo" field) in a form that I have created from a table, went to close the form and got a message saying something along the lines of "this record cannot be saved, if you close it, information will be deleted.
Now, in the Memo field, is the text "#Deleted" - when I try to overwrite this and come out of the record, it comes up with the message "record is deleted". If I put information in any other field in the record, there is no problem.
Also, in the table, if I try to sort by the Memo field, it comes up with same message, "record is deleted".
Does anyone know what I've done and how I can solve this?
With thanks in advance.

i want to have message box asking "Want to save the record or not" to save the record.
form contain the subform also. i read some thread regarding that issue they suggest i have to use form's beforeupdate property. i used it for the main form but message box is appearing before entering the values in subform. i mean i have to enter some data in subform also.
i am attaching database for ur references. after entering PO nunber PO date and selecting client message box is apearing but it should be come after updating data in subform i.e. details.
Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.
My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?
Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.
Me!ComboName.DefaultValue = Me!ComboName.ItemData(0)
this assigns the first value in the combo box to the default.
can this be changed to always assign the last possible record in the list as the default.
I have a form where the control source of several text box fields includes a function that looks up values in a table that is not the form's record source. The default value in the property for these fields is set to 0. Unfortunately, when I migrate to a new record, these fields display the dreaded #Error. It should be noted that these fields are for display only and are not even in the form's underlying table.Here is an example of the control source for one of the fields:
Code:
=GetFYSummary("Budget",[ProjectID],0,0,"PPE","frm_ProjectFinancials")
Here is the start of the code for the function:
Code:
Public Function GetFYSummary(strField As String, lngProjectID As Long, lngFYYear As Long, intPeriod As Integer, _
strWBSType As String, strSource As String) As Long
[code]...
I'm trying to cover my bases to ensure that the displayed value of the field shows 0 rather than #Error.I even tried including a breakpoint at the first line of code in the function and it is never even triggered when I move to a new record.As soon as I type the first letter/number in a field that is tied to the form's record source, all of these display values do change to 0 appropriately.
Not sure what is happening here...
I keep getting an error message saying 'No Current Record'...especially when trying to create a new form or report using wizard.
I don't have this problem at home..only in work.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I had a problem importing just one table I kept getting the message “Record is deleted” and no records were imported.
First I thought it may be because there were quite a few columns in the table so I tried importing just one column, however I got the same message “Record is deleted“ .
I considered it could be because the database was originally in a Company office workgroup. I wondered if the “Work group security” was causing the problem. I read up on this and found that importing the objects directly into a new database was one of the recommended ways of circumventing this problem. This was what I was already doing! So what was wrong?
Next idea, I exported all of the records into an excel spreadsheet. This was successful! So I then re-imported the records from the spreadsheet back into a table in the database.
There were a couple of problems, in that all of the text fields were converted to 255 character length. Although annoying I thought I could handle this problem. I proceeded making a few changes to this database, then I noticed that one of the fields that had been imported was originally a “Memo field” it had been converted to a text field with 255 characters. As soon as I noticed, I checked to see if any data had been lost by comparing this field with the original data. I found a significant loss of data so back to the drawing board!
All of the other tables had imported correctly, only this one seemed to be giving problems, I had tackled the size problem it was not a big table by MS Access standards, but I felt it could be the size, In particular the number of fields could be causing this error. But just trying to import one field at a time hadn’t worked?
Then it dawned on me what if I tried to import one record at a time --- that worked! So I wrote the query with a between statement I tried 10, then a 100, then a thousand records it worked fine! However when I tried 5000 records the error re-occurred?
I realized that I probably had some corrupt data in the table, so I set about systematically extracting a limited number of records until I found the area where the corruption was.
This worked but returned “0” records --- Between 11001 And 12000
“Between 12001 And 13000” Got error message “Record is deleted”
I got to 12800 all ok
12900 caused error
Error is in a record between 12800 and 12900
I will continue to whittle it down!
OK to 12819
The corrupt record is: 12820
I had found the corrupt record! Now all I had to do was create two queries one each side of this corrupt record to extract the information.
On inspection of this corrupt record I discovered that the memo field contained the following: “#Deleted “ I am going to attempt to modify the memo field and see if it fixes the corruption of the database.
My attempt at modifying the corrupt record, in particular the memo field containing “#Deleted” caused the error message to re-occur. “Record is deleted”
I have made a copy of the actual record 12820 and pasted it into a spreadsheet to send to the customer so that it can be checked in the existing data on their system.
Fortunately there were no related records in other tables affected.
Hi
I am trying to create an alert function so that when a user open up a form and displays a record, it will also display any alerts that have been created for that record. e.g. missed payments etc.
I have created a table to store the alert data along with the job number to which the alert relates so in essence I can have more that one alert per job record. I amtrying get one of the alerts to display ok using the following code
alerts = DLookup("[Job _Number]", "Alerts", "[Job _Number]='" & Me.Job_Number & "'" And "[Start_Date]" >= Date)
You will see that I am trying to only display alerts that are within the valid date range (I have not yet included [End_Date] as I cannot get the code above to work.
Can anyone help me correct this code please?
The other thing is that because I am using a dlookup, I am assuming it will only display the first alert it finds in the table and that's it? If so, how do it get it to display all 'active' alerts with a matching job number. By active I mean where the Start date is >= Date() and End date is <= Date()
I would really appreciate any help on this..
Thank you all for reading.
:eek:
I have a query in Access which I have always updated no problem until today. I tried to update the usual fields and it says "This recordset is not updatable". Does anyone know why this would have changed and how I can get it back to updatable?

Hi,
I get an error message when I add a new record to my database. It occurs when I open my form and use the [arrowright*]-button and when I use the switchboard button to add a new record using a form.
An error message is displayed, but when I dismiss the error (click OK), then everything seems to be normal and the record is added normally with the entered info. It is a bit annoying, though.
Since I have the dutch version, I'll try to translate the message:
"You can not add/append a value to this object
* The object possibly is a control-element in a read-only form
* The object is part of a form that is opened in the design view
* The value is too large for this field"
The error occurs right after I have typed the first character into a field on the form. The form consists of a few subforms. And I don't think any of the by access suggested errors have anything to do with this...
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
MuFfiNimal
I am getting a "cannot change or add a record because a related record is required in table 'tblOrder'". I have scoured this site so forgive me if there is a post already on this.
My Order table has:
OrderID
CustomerID
SalesTaxRate
My Order detail table has:
OrderDetailID
PoNumber
TransDate
ProductID
OrderID
QuantitySold
QuantityReceived
QuantityOrdered
TransType
I wasn't sure if by this you could point me in the right direction as to why it is saying this. I am very new to Access so bare with me. Thanks
We developed a simple database that operates across a network at work (max 15 intermittent users). We split it into a front and backend and made it a .accde file format of which through a desktop short cut we all access. We are recently getting the error message Record is Deleted.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have set up a simple switchboard that gives the user a choice of 2 forms. The second from allows the user to navigate through a questionaire for a particualar individual. I have set up some buttons to advance thru the questions and answers. When I reach the end of the dataset, I get the error message "You can't go to the specified record." I also get this message when I am on the first question and try to page backwards. Is there a way to change this error message to something more meaningful to my users - like "End of questionaire" or "Beginning of questionaire"?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have built an example of a form that I am working on. My original design used the default record navigator bars that are setup when you use the wizard to create the form. I would like to remove those bars and use the linked combo boxes that I have placed onto the form instead.
My end all goal is to have those two record navigation bars completely gone from the form and have the combo boxes perform the same function they were used for.
I would like to keep the data entry portion of the form the same because I like the design and I like that I can limit it to data entry only so theres no chance that the users will accidentally modify existing data. However, if you have a different method of entering the data that will still provide me with the protection of "data entry only" that will be welcomed.
hello

Hi,
I have a form which is based on a table.
I was wondering if it is possible that when the form is opened a blank record could be displayed rather than the first entry in the table. In other words, it would be like opening a form and clicking the "Add Record" button, a blank record would be displayed and data entry could take place.
Any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
