Confirm Undo (when User Presses Esc Key)

Nov 10, 2006

I have a small procedure I'd like to include in my database. I want to confirm with the user with some sort of modal popup message (I think that's the right term) when they abort data entry on a form (anywhere on that form which consists of several pages, and a linked subform on one page). I think I can use the "on undo" event, but I don't know what code to include to make this happen...

Tried searching for this to no avail, but I would think this is a common procedure to prevent users from accidental data entry abortion.

Thanks,
Brad

Forms :: Creating A Form That Require User Input To Confirm / Cancel Changes

Jun 24, 2013

I am fairly new to Access and my "changed" position at work requires that I learn much more about the software. My first challenge is to learn how to make an existing form prompt a user to confirm or cancel changes. I don't know anything about coding but I searched online and found some coded that is supposed to make this happen. I went to "form properties'' and typed this (below) in BeforeUpdate:

'If the form data has changed a message is shown asking if
'the changes should be saved. If the answer is no then
'the changes are undone

On Error GoTo BeforeUpdate_Error

[Code] ....

BeforeUpdate_Exit:
Exit Sub

BeforeUpdate_Error:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume BeforeUpdate_Exit

After saving changes to the design, I tested by changing the record. I received no prompt.

Modules & VBA :: Checking For Key Presses In On Click Event

Jul 25, 2014

I have a button on a form and I want the On Click event behind it to check whether Shift is also being pressed when the user clicks the button (or Ctrl, or Alt, in fact any damn key will do).

I can't believe that there isn't a function in VBA like the old 1980s BASIC 'inkey' function (etc) that just simply returns the code of any key being held down at the time of the scan. I shouldn't have to mess around programming other events like KeyDown and KeyUp when I don't particularly need the key-press to trigger an event per se.

Undo Won't Undo Last Function.

May 4, 2006

I have a Memo box where the user puts comments and then I have a check box that if check automatically puts a specific phrase on the first line of the Memo box (before any other text currently in the box). What I am trying to do is have it so that if the "check box" is UN-checked it will remove the line that it just added to the Memo box. I have been able to get it to undo everything in the Memo box, but what I really need is for it to just undo the last line of text that was enterd when the user checked the box.

Example:

Memo Box:
This is the line that the checkbox just added when the checkbox is set to "True"
This is the test data the user has already put in the box...
==================

User now UN-checks the checkbox (I want the Memo box to read.. see below) Thereby deleting the line "This is the line that the checkbox just added when the checkbox is set to "True""

Memo Box:
This is the test data the user has already put in the box...

How can I accomplish this?

Undo, Won't Undo - Do I Understand Right?

Nov 14, 2006

Hi, I have found the answer to most of my problem, thanks to previous posts.
I am using the Undo command on a Date field. However it seems that my code is maybe not staying on the event to action the undo.

After it runs the Focus goes to the next field Me.LeaveDays and the value is automatically entered, unless I comment back in the Goto's in which case the value will be zero.

I want to be able to Undo the EndDate (and preferable the StartDate, and Setfocus to StartDate) EndDate will do if not possible.

Don't want to Undo the whole form, although that could be a last resort.

My code is in the before_update event, image posted (ignore faded fields, not visible/needed in final solution)
Private Sub EndDate_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_EndDate_BeforeUpdate

Dim intLeaveLeftAL As Integer
Dim intLeaveLeftSL As Integer
Dim intLeaveDays As Integer
Dim dtNullDate As Date
Dim varNullField As Variant

intLeaveLeftAL = Nz(Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![DailyALInc] - (Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![ALDays] - Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![ACDays]), 0)
intLeaveLeftSL = Nz(10 - Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![SLDays], 0)

' Use the WorkingDays function to calc the number of Leave Days
' set LeaveDays and requery the form
intLeaveDays = WorkingDays(Me.StartDate, Me.EndDate)

If Me.LCode = "LC41" Then ' Sick Leave

Select Case intLeaveDays
Case Is > intLeaveLeftSL
MsgBox "Employee does not have enough Leave" & vbCrLf & "to take as Sick Leave.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Entry in Error"
varErrorCondition = True
Me.EndDate.Undo
GoTo Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Case Else:
End Select

ElseIf Me.LCode = "LC11" Or Me.LCode = "LC13c" Then ' Annual or C/Fwd Leave

Select Case intLeaveDays
Case Is > intLeaveLeftAL
MsgBox "Employee does not have enough Leave" & vbCrLf & "to take as Annual Leave.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Entry in Error"
varErrorCondition = True
Me.EndDate.Undo
GoTo Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Case Else:
End Select
End If

Me.LeaveDays = intLeaveDays
Me.LeaveDays.Requery
varErrorCondition = False

Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate:
Exit Sub

Err_EndDate_BeforeUpdate:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate

End Sub
The ifs and cases work fine, just like to send the User back a few steps
appreciated :) :)

Confirm Record Changes In VBA

Aug 29, 2005

I have a bug in Access. Despite having turned off the confirm record changes (Tools>options>edit>Confirm) the prompt still appears in the app after it is converted to MDE and packaged for distribution.

My solution will be (if I can find it) to set the 'confirm record changes' setting to off in VBA code immediately prior to my update.

My problem is how to do it. I have looked everywhere without success.

Can anyone suggest the necessary code.

Thanks .

Confirm Data Source

Jun 14, 2007

I am automating a mail merge with Access to Word. Does anyone know how to stop the Confirm Data Source dialog window from coming up and just except the default (orginal) data source? I have users that do not know they should just click the OK button, some are clicking NO and then I lose the connection because they dont know where the table link is. I dont know what else to do but tell them to always click the Yes button when confirming but not everone listens and then i have to do it all over again.:mad:

Confirm Update Message Box

Apr 2, 2005

I would like to have an update (requery) button on my form, that when clicked opens a message box that asks "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO UPDATE?", if yes, a yes button is pushed, which requeries the record and closes the message box. If a no button is pushed, the message box is closed without requerying the record.

Can someone walk me through the process?

Confirm Action Queries In Runtime

Mar 3, 2008

I use the Access 2007 runtime to run my Access database on a few client machines. How do I turn off the confirmation of Action Queries? On clients that are also running MS Access, I can simply open Access, go to Access Options and uncheck the box. When I make this change in Access, the same settings apply for the Runtime on that computer. Which makes me think perhaps there is a registry entry I can modify someplace? If anyone has an idea as to how to turn this off for the runtime please let me know.

Thanks!

Modules & VBA :: Before / After Delete Confirm Events

Oct 4, 2013

I'm using Access 2007..I have a table that contains transaction records from a bound form.When the user enters a certain type of transaction, I create a corresponding transaction in the after insert event.

Example
User record - tranId = 1, tranAmt = 10, tranType = DISB, tranAssocID = 0
My record - tranId = 2, tranAmt = 10, tranType = RECV, tranAssocID = 1

When the user deletes a record, I want to delete my corresponding record using the tranAssocID ( delete * from tran_tbl where tranAssocID = (the tranID of the user's record)

Problem:
1) I don't know how to save the tranID of the users record
2) I don't know how to reference the saved tranID in the delete statement.

I'm using the before delete confirm event to try to save the users tranID to no avail.I'm using the after delete confirm to delete my record in a case statement - acDeleteOK...I tried to save the value of the ID in the form (Me.tid) to a public long variable, a hidden field on the form, and a temporary variable to no avail.

Can I Set Tools/Options/Edit-Find/Confirm In VBA?

Jun 9, 2006

Hi Guys & Gals,

I have a report that runs a number of queries via a macro in the on open property. These queries populate a table used in the report. The on close property runs a query to clear the table contents.

When a user ran this, he had a flurry of warning notices which I tracked down to the Confirm settings in the tools/options/edit find tab.

Is is possible to set these using vba?

I guess that this could be achieved using send keys, but this would probably be a bit clumsy - to say the least.

Can it be done so that the settings are changed only for the current session so that users have the original settings?

Any thoughts welcome.

Regards,

Keith.

Forms :: Message Box To Confirm Entry Of A Duplicate Value?

Oct 24, 2013

I have a single table in my database and I have to make a form for entering contact details for clients, staff, funding bodies and everyone else into this table. There is a phone number and what code I would use the get it to check if the number already exists.

If it does, I wanted it to return a custom message telling you what entries it already exists for by displaying certain fields so that they can be identified, such as name and organisation, but then I wanted the custom message to allow you to confirm entry of the data anyway. This is because there may have been an error in entry or as some people may be contacted on the same phone number, I want it to allow the option to continue and enter the data anyway.

Modules & VBA :: Msgbox To Confirm Changes To Specific Control

Oct 3, 2013

I have a database in which users have the ability to search by last name...nothing fancy there. However, the users continue to forget to click the Find Client button and instead just type what name they are looking for in the LASTNAME control thus changing the record that they are currently in!!!

I am looking for a way to have a msgbox pop up any time the LASTNAME control is changed. I found the code below but this works for the entire record and I don't want them to have to click Yes every time they make change.

Code:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If MsgBox("Changes have been made to this record." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to save these changes?" _
, vbYesNo, "Changes Made...") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.Save
Else
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
End If
End Sub

Automatically Updating Client Settings For Confirm Actions

Feb 27, 2014

how I can automatically change the Client settings either with a macro or code. Specifically for the three confirm actions (Record Changes, Document deletions and Action queries). I have a database that is distributed to end users in different offices around the world. The old way lazy way, was to go to each computer and set these settings to "off" manually, but this isn't possible. I want to be able to run delete queries and action queries in the back end without the end users knowing its happening and having to select yes all the time.

Undo Changes

Aug 15, 2005

Hi All,

Is there a way that I can make a button which will undo all the changes being made on a form (on multiple records). I have a continious form with a checkbox after each record and want to restore the 'old values' if necessary.

Thanks.

I know it's possible by record, but the tricky part is to do this on multiple records.

Undo Conversion From 97 To 2K

Feb 17, 2006

We have an mdb back end on our server with read / write permissions for several approved users. One of them (don't know who yet) has converted the mdb file from 1997 to 2000. Is there a way to undo this? :o (a few have both versions on their machines which is why this was possible to begin to with)

We have had this set up for almost four years now, with no issues might I add but always knew in the back of my mind something like this would happen.

Thanks

Check To See If Undo Is Available

Mar 21, 2006

I would like to be able to check to see if undo is available.

ie. i have a button thats called 'Cancel' When clicked it undo's changed and then closes the form, but if there are aren't any changes to undo it flags up an error saying not available.

I would still like it to close the form even if there are no changes to undo.

So check to see if the undo is available then undo and close if not then just close the form.
