Record Count Before Opening Form
Feb 16, 2006Guys
I've searched the database and found similar problems but don't understand the replies (mainly DCount()).
I have a control form where a user can search the database by entering information. The form asks them to type some text that will appear in a description field, and match any records with the same text.
However, when the user types the text and clicks the button to open the form (which is linked to a query searching the description field), I want a message box to say no records found before opening the form. Mainly because when it doesn't find a matching record, the form opens with a new autonumber.
I either want a matching record to appear, or a dialog box saying no matching records found and the form not opening therefore not creating a number that is not used.
I tried in the command button entering if recordcount>0 then openform but it doesn't like the else statement or doing a if recordcount=0 underneath.
Any ideas?
Check For Existing Record Before Opening
Sep 20, 2006Hi.
I have 2 forms, with a "PNID" field as the link between the 2.
In the 2nd form, the PNID field allows no duplicates. I have a button on the first form to open the 2nd form to add a record.
I need some code to put on the button on the 1st form to check whether a PNID record exists on the 2nd form before opening it.......does this make sense?
What is happening is that I click on the button, try and add a record, then it tells me one exists and I cannot add a duplicate...
I have looked at the threads, and have tried using DCount? Is this correct?
Thanks
Frank.
General :: How To Check The Record Count
Sep 11, 20141) If I check recordcount without move rst to last position I get wrong number of recordcount.
Code:
rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
msgbox nz(rst.RecordCount, 0)
2) If I move rst to last position, number of recordcount is correct, but! If there's no record in my string I get an error that rst can't move to last position.
Code:
rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
rst.MoveLast
msgbox nz(rst.RecordCount, 0)
how to check correctly RecordCount even if my query in string has no record?

Code Before Opening Form To Check User's Right
Oct 23, 2005Hello Gentlemen,
I am planning to give different rights (AllowEdit, ViewOnly…) to the user on accessing forms and reports in a db on a single pc instead of dealing with server as my client have only one pc.
As a present requirement, db would be in one pc only and would be used by 3-4 users. I need each of users to limit their access to some of the forms and reports in the same pc. To get it, what I did is as follows:
Example:
One of my tables called tblEmployees (Back End Table) linked in FE containing following fields:
1.Unumber- Autonumber
2.UNames - Text
3.Pwd- Password
4.F1- Yes/No
5.F2- Yes/No
6.F3- Yes/No
F1, F2….stands for form1, form2…
There is a login menu form. Something like 2 text boxes on the form and opening at the startup. User selects his name from a combo and types his password. If the user is available in the tblEmployees, Access opens main form and store UNumber and UName with time stamp in a local table called “T_CurrUser. If user not available in tblEmployees, it should close or give some msg.
Now, when the Main form opens (after login with correct user and pwd) and user wants to click different command buttons to open the form, I need to write code to check whether the current user have right to open the selected form (check marked to allow opening this form in the table tblEmployees) BEFORE opening it.
If check mark is set to false on F1 in the table tblEmployees, it means he can’t open form1, and a msg should pop up “Not allowed to view”..Something likes that.
1. I don’t know the code I created with simple if then, where to write ? I mean on which event of form ? On open / On Activate or where. Bcz the code should run before form opens and should check the table whether the user have check mark value true or false.
I tried to write the following code but some time it works some time doesn’t. What is wrong with code lines?
On Click of Command Button that opens Form1
Dim USR = DlookUp(“lngEmpId”,”T_CurrUser”) ‘ Local Table emp.
‘To check if Form1 check mark is set to true
If DlookUp(“F1”,”tblEmployees”,”lngEmpId=USR)=True Then
Docmd.OpenForm “Form1”
Else
End If
When another user logs on the same pc (off course, after login out of first user) the local table T_CurrUser record will be replaced with new user. Note that local table T_CurrUser contains always one record. Hopefully I described correctly.
Any idea will be respected.
With kind regards

Opening A Form With A New Record
Feb 2, 2006I have a switchboard form that opens with the database. One of the buttons on it opens up a standard form for entering names and addresses.
I created the button with the button wizard, so the standard code:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Enter Details"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
However, this opens the form with record 1 loaded. There is a danger that someone might accidentally enter data over that, so I would like it to open up to a blank record (at the moment, users have to know to press the ">*" button). How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help... and for putting up with me of late! ;)
OPENING Form And CREATING New Record
May 4, 2007hello,
I have form "QUOTE" (which has a check box "GenerateOrder") and form "WORK_ORDER". Once I click on "GenerateOrder", I want form "WORK_ORDER" to open, and I want to assign a value from a txtBox in form "QUOTE" to another txtBox in form "WORK_ORDER" creating in this way a new record on form "WORK_ORDER". I want to make clear that as soon as the value is passed or assigned to the txtBox in form "WORK_ORDER", a new record for this form should be created.
I tried this code:
Private Sub GenerateOrder_Click()
If (Me.GenerateOrder.Value = True) Then
DoCmd.OpenForm (WORK_ORDER)
[Forms]![WORK_ORDER]![QID] = [Forms]![QUOTE]![QID] 'assignment
End If
End Sub
but it doesn't work
Thank you very much
Opening One Form From Another Using Current Record
Mar 25, 2005I would like to create the following functionality on a form in my database:
When the form is open, and a record is displayed on the screen, I want to add a button that will open up a second form displaying information related to that record.
To be specific, I have a form called "Contracts". Each contract record contains a customer name in the field "Customers." I want to create a button labeled "Customer Details" that will open a new form, "ViewCustomers" displaying the record associated with the value entered in the "Customers" field for the current (displayed) record only.
I have been trying to use a hyperlink to a macro that uses "OpenForm," form name "ViewCustomers," but I don't know how to filter it down to just the current record.
I hope any of this makes sense. Any insight would be really helpful.
Thanks! -Matt
Opening A Form At A Specific Record
Dec 23, 2005Hi all
Im currently designing one of my first databases!
I've initiated a log on procedure, with a password.
A user enters their ID and password. Once the correct password is entered, the next form is then loaded up, to which they make some choices.
My problem is that I have lots of users, and I would like them to only access the page that is relevant to themse, and NOT be able to see anyone elses.
I gather there is a little bit of tweaking to go on the
docmd.openform...
line, and somehow incorporate the userID, but not entirely too sure what it is.
Apologies if this seems really easy!
All help appreciated - many thanks!
Form Opening And Record Locking
Oct 5, 2006Hi,
I am opening a form, from another form, that is based on a table of 20000 records.
I am using the WHERE criteria to do this, code is included below. I need to provide database access to several users on a network (and only want to lock the record that the user has searched for), and was wondering if this mode of data access will lload and or lock all 20 000 records on the users sytem, or if it will just load and lock the specific record that has been opened using the WHERE condition to open the form...
Advice appreciated.
Regards
Mack

Blank Record Upon Opening Form
Oct 31, 2006HELP
When the user double clicks on the icon, the form automatically appears on the screen. That's good. But record number 1 is there. I want a blank record there so they can enter their data. This can't be difficult, but I can't figure it out.
Opening A Form To A Specific Record
Dec 10, 2004I have a Calibration form, with a button on it that links to an Equipment Inventory form. In the Calibration form, you choose
the instrument you want to calibrate from a combo box (which in turn automatically selects the barcode number for the instrument in another combo box), then if you need to edit info on it (ie. serial number), you click the button
Now, I need the Equipment Inventory form to open to the record that matches the bar code in the second combo box
anyone know a simple way of doing this?

Feb 8, 2015I have a table with a schedule of tasks that are required weekly for the next year. Each record has Monday's date as the Scheduled_Date" for the task. From my main form, I have a command button to open a form linked to the table, so that amendments can be added to the table for each record (i.e. - If a task is complete/incomplete/progressing etc. the user marks it so.
What I would like to do is have the form open at the task scheduled for the current week, based on the "Scheduled_Date" value. Whilst I can do this with a simple filter, I would like the form to open with all records available to the user so that they can go forwards/backwards as they wish, but the first record they see when the form opens is the one specific to this weeks date.
Macro Or VBA For Opening A Form In Particular Record
Jan 30, 2013Self tought in Access07 but I'm trying to do the following:
I've got a form (Clients_F) that has a subform in datasheet view with a list of quote numbers made by each customer, I have managed to make a Macro after a few hours and googling, that opens another form (Quotes_F) so that it can be edited when a quote number is clicked, but I wish to be able to open Quotes_F as a new record when the empty field under the numbers column in the list is clicked.
Also want to know if it's possible to mantain the Customer's details pre-filled?...I am guessing that this is done through the CustomerID(PK & FK)?
Default Blank Record When Opening Form
Sep 25, 2006Hi,
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

May 8, 2015I've done this dozen's of time - but it doesn't seem to be working now. I have a continuous form (frmHome) where i want a user to be able to click on a record, and be able to open up that specific record in "frmCustomer". The key field here is pkCustomerID (i have it in the query).
frmHome is run off a query ("qryCustomer").
frmCustomer has "tblCustomer" as the source.
The code i've used on a button on "frmHome" is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCustomer", , , "[pkCustomerID]=" & Me!pkCustomerID
It always only open Record #1.
Modules & VBA :: Opening A Form To A Specific Record
Nov 21, 2013I have a table that has two forms linked to it - one is the Main Form which is used to input the data for the bulk of entries, however on some entries there will be some additional data required which the other form (lets call it Time Form) takes care of.
What I would like to do is have a button on the Main Form that opens the Time Form, and then go to the specific record that is open on the Main Form;I have an ID field (Autonumber + Primary Key) which displays in a text box on the main form, and it would provide the number of the record for the second form to open.
Forms :: Opening Form To New Record In Subform
May 20, 2013I have a form with a subform. Every time I open the form I want it to open to a new record in the subform (but not necessarily a new record in the main form; that will depend on some other stuff that I've already taken care of).I found a way to do that using the following VBA in the main form:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.EventSubform.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
It works great, but it causes Access to automatically scroll down to the start of the subform, blocking the view of information in the main form that the user needs to see. I've tried adding a line to Form_Current() to reset the focus to the main form but it doesn't seem to work.
