Hi, I have code for a command button that allows me to save the form information to 7 different tables primary key (the same primary key), owever when i close the form it resaves the information and i get a duplicate error msg. Is there anyway to get around this? Can I change what happens when the form is closed. i tried to apply this code to Form_Close() but to no avail.
Cheers

I have a MainForm. Using a button on the MainForm i open an PopUp form which I enter values.
I want to save the value of a field (text), close the PopUp form. Then use the Saved value in the MainForm to find a record.
So far I have this but not working:
Code:
TempVars.Add "company", Me.CompanyName.Value
If Me.Dirty = True Then
Me.Undo
End If
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "MainForm"
DoCmd.Requery
DoCmd.FindRecord Forms![MainForm]![CompanyName] = TempVars("company")
DoCmd.GoToControl "Combo48"
Evening All! (Old enough to remember Dixon of Dock Green (stupid enough to mention it!))
I'm working on a small database for a small team of support workers with a
client base of 60 clients at anyone time, although the turnover is quite
substantial.
I have done some searches on archiving records but am concerned that once
archived a record would be difficult to re-integrate in to the live database,
particularly if there have been changes to it?
I have considered that I may be just as well slapping a big label over every
record that has a date in the [CloseDate] field and if a closed case is
re-opened, the closed date is removed and the label disappears.
I'm still open to being convinced that the archiving is the way to go, but
in the mean time I hope someone will be able to help with the expression
needed in the form on_current procedure to make the label visible. If it was
just a tick box I'd be flying by now, but I can't get my head around getting
a populated [CloseDate] field to initiate the CloseRecordLabel.
Thanks in advance

I have a series of forms that become current in a certain order. For example a menu form comes up. This is followed by a search form where the user gives search parameters. Then appears the results list. If the user wants a detail form comes after that, etc. Now when the user closes the last form I want the form before that one to show up and when he closes that one the one before that and so on. That is I am going to use the close button to go back to the previous step. How can I do this.

Is there any way to make a form open up when every thing else is closed.
Can I make a macro that will check if everything else is closed and then open the startup form again?
Is anything like this possible?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am stumped as to how to get a form to update/refresh. Heres what I have!
My main form:[Daily Log From] is opened, with a subform:[DailyDSQry subform] populated by a Query. This form has a command button that opens another form: [NewDSLog] in "acAdd","acDialog".
What I need is: when the [NewDSLog] form closes, the [DailyDSQry Subform] needs to requery/update so that it displays the new entry.
I have tried the following in a command "CLOSE" button in form [NewDSLog]:
docmd.Runcommand AcCmdRecordSave
Me!Forms![Daily Log]![DailyDSQry subform].Refesh
Me!Forms![DailyDSQry subform].[Query].!Requery
doCmd.close
but no LUCK.....Keep getting errors
Any Ideas
Thanks all, I do appreciate the help

I have a DB with 20 forms. All of the forms are closed. I opened a new form and added a button. I would like to do the following when the button is clicked:
Check the "Tag" property of each form and count whichever is not null.
Can anybody help me out??::o
I have a form which is associated with a table. When I put some values in the fields which are connected to the database and try to close the form, it gives me an error that "Can't insert record the primary key might be duplicated"...! and then it closes.
Does the form store a record in the table while closing??
If so is there a way to prevent it??
Please reply..
I would like to have the Switchboard I created open when the database is selected. I used Tools/Startup to set this up. It works to a point. The database window opens and THEN the Switchboard opens (on top of the database window). There are some who I wish not to see the database navigation window). Also, is it possible to OPEN the switchboard again when a Form is closed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a query that retrieves one of its criteria from a form. I have referenced correctly the value on the form from the query, and it works, but what I wanted to do is a bit more complicated: when the form is closed, I want to launch the query with a "default value". I tried to do it in 2 different ways:
a) Defining an "IIf" at the query criteria: I would need a function that checks if the form from which I retrieve the values is open.
b) Defining public variables with a default value, which would be changed from the form: I don't know where/when to initialize the value of the variable.
Query gets criteria from form when it's open. If form is closed, query uses default value.
Hi all.
I have a form that opens up another form when you click on a button. The button does more than just open the form, it does other checks. I want to wait until the opened form is closed to continue with the subroutine. Is this even possible in VBA? I was wondering if there was a frmFormName.IsOpen or some kind of flag that would tell me if a form is open or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sub open
Checks things
Checks things
checks things
Opens form(frmDetails)
Wait for form to close (THING I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IF POSSIBLE)
Checks things
Checks things
end sub
I am running Access 2010. I am building a form that is finding the "Docket Numbers" from three different forms. In order to get these numbers, I put in three text boxes with these statements:
Text box1
=[Forms]![Jobslist]![Docketnumber]
Text box2
=[Forms]![Jobslist2]![Docketnumber]
Text box3
=[Forms]![Jobslist3]![Docketnumber]
However, not all three forms will necessarily be open at one time so I am trying to use an Iif statement to check if the form is open. I can't seem to figure out the function to check if the form is open. I am looking for something along these lines:
Text box1
=iif([Forms]![Jobslist] = closed,"",[Forms]![Jobslist]![Docketnumber]
What i need to figure out is what to used instead of "= closed".
Hi,
I am wondering whether it is possible to trigger the run of a macro when a form window is closed using the close button in the top right of a standard window?
If not, then is it possible to display a form in a window without the minimize, restore and close buttons?
I am currently using a setup whereby I have a button to close a form, and when clicked a macro is executed. However, the user could just as easily close the form using the close button of the window and the updates would not be performed.
Thanks in advance

I have a main form called frmAF54. In this main form I have a subform named frmPassdown. The subform record source is from a table called tblCards. This table contains many different cards. I have a combobox called lstOpCard in the main form as well. The combobox lists all of the different cards in "tblCards". I have a button called "buttonFilter".
A user opens the form and clicks (or selects) the different cards in the combo box "lstOpCard" that they want to filter for. Once their selections are made, they can click the "buttonFilter" button and the subform "frmPassdown" will be filtered based off of their selections.
The filter is applied using the IN() function as shown below:
Me.AF54PassDown.Form.Filter = "[OpCardID] IN ( " & sTemp & " )" --sTemp is a string containing the keyIDs of the cards selected.
My problem is that people will be opening and closing the form throughout the day / week. When the form closes, it loses the applied filter. How can I have my filter on the subform be saved after the form is closed and the filter is still applied when the form is opened later?
I have a form for which the Record Source is a certain table. Then on that form there is a button to display another form, which adds a new record to the same table. Then the new form is closed.The trouble is, the original form cannot search for the new record, until you close the form and reopen it.I have tried using Me.Dirty is false, and also a requery of the original form, but nothing works. Only closing the form and reopening it will display the newly added record.What can I do to make the original form recognize the newly added record?
View 7 Replies View RelatedThere is a form where whenever the form is closed, the below code needs to execute:
If IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece1.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece2.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece3.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece4.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece5.Value) = True Then
Me.AllowAdditions = False
DoCmd.SetWarnings (0)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
DoCmd.SetWarnings (-1)
Else
Call AppendQuoteCharges
End If
The If Then just looks at if certain fields are all null and if so, it deletes the current record. If at least one field is not null, the AppendQuoteCharges routine is called.
The form has 4 or 5 navigation buttons that close this form and send you to a different one. I've added the above code to each of those buttons before it runs the DoCmd.Close Form. I also have a Exit button that runs a DoCmd.Quit. I developed this months back but I'm pretty sure I added the above code under each button's click event rather than a Form On Close event because Form On Close does not execute after a DoCmd.Quit command
In rare cases, the form is being closed without the routine being ran. I think if a user clicks the Close button in the top right of Access (the X), it might be running a DoCmd.Quit which is doesn't run this code.
How can I be sure that whenever the form is closed or exited, the code is ran? Is there a way to tie this code to the user clicking the X in the top right?

I'm writing some simple code that will filter the records on a form:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmdOpenByAnalyst_Click()
cmbStaffNames.SetFocus
DoCmd.OpenForm "BICReviewForm", acNormal, , "Staff Assigned=" & "'" & cmbStaffNames.Text & "'"
End Sub
Unfortunately, I keep getting a run-time error (3075) that says "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Staff Assigned = XXXX"
I am trying to locate a record on a multirecord form by using Findfirst method. Here is the code.
Dim UA1 As String, UAE1 As String, UA2 As String, UAE2 As String, UA3 As String, UAE3 As String, apost as string, repl as string
apost = "'"
repl = "''"
UA1 = Nz(Forms(ParName).Form.NAME, " ")
UAE1 = Replace(UA1, apost, repl)
[Code] ....
This code sometimes works and sometimes it does not work. The field CNO is a text field of 5 characters but contains the card numbers that is numeric data or nothing.
How come its so hard to create an undo method when using a form and subform, lookup tables and tiered selections in combo boxes?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes.

I am using Access 2010.
I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a split form that's like a list of pending tasks. The data source is a linked SharePoint 2013 list where users submit requests. The user takes the information from each record and performs an action. When it is done, the user presses a button and the task status changes from "Pending" to "Processed". The form record source is based on a query that finds only records with a status of "Pending" so when the user changes the status of the task, it is removed from the list. It works fine except when there is only one task left in the work list. If the user processes the last task, the form refreshes and it goes to a new empty record and I get an error message that says I must enter a value into one of the required fields. I tried making the field non-required but it just creates an empty record in the table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been stomping around in the forums for an hour now and I have to ask for some help because I really don't know what it is I am looking for.
I am interested to know if there is a way to write VBA code that reopens my menu form if all other forms have been closed. The database window is hidden in my app and normally when all windows close this will exit Microsoft Access too.
If there's not an easy, established way for this, I'm not really in a spot that requires me to use this, I just wanted to know for future forms.
I guess my real question is how to you build events for the entire database, not just a single form or report?:confused:
I have two date fields that I am using a form to show the open and close date of an investigation. The opened date field is controlled by a textbox elsewhere on the form, but the date closed is controlled by the vbCalendar control. What I am trying to do in coding is to evaluate whether or not the closed date is before the open date. If the date closed is before the date open I would like a message box to open that prevents the user from moving forward and reminding them that the date closed is earlier than the date open. Is it possible with the vbCalendar option being able to change its focus continually.
