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?
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.
looking to have the following code run only when I have a specific value present in one of my combo boxes: e.g. cbo.status = "Approved"
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Provide the user with the option to save/undo
'changes made to the record in the form
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
I am trying to stop access displaying the "You are about Update 1 Record" etc message when i run an update query. I know i can do this in Tools/Options screen but the problem is that the database is going to be used by multiple users, and rather than changing each persons Action query option I was wondering whether there is something i can put in to the code Globally to halt the message.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a "Marking" function in my database. The function is so that I can mark certain records, then print reports for only those records. When the database is opened I have set it up to run a Query. The query is a Update Query and it unmark all marked records.
However, when the query runs 2 Microsoft Access message box pop up.
the first says "You are about to run an update query that will modify data in your table."
the second one says "You are about to Update # row(s)."
Does anybody know of a way to automatically have yes be chosen on both message boxes so there are no pop ups?
Hi
I have form with a series of text boxes in which users can edit the data that is populated in them. For one of the text boxes I want to add an after update event, so that if the user changes the value in the text box, a message window appears telling them to click on the submit button at the bottom of the form.
Does anyone know the code that I should use to make this message appear when the value in the text box is changed?
Trying to create a query that will look up a barcode and subtract 1 from the currnet stock levels, i have the exact same sql statement for the adding of stock part from the -1 to a +1 the relised i may need a gap between the "-" and the 1 but it still comes up with the message. Anyone got an idea how i can make this work??
UPDATE table1 SET table1.quantity = "quantity - 1"
WHERE (((table1.barcode)=[Barcode please]));
Microsoft office access didn't update 1 field due to a type conversion failure, 0 record(s) due to key violation, 0 records due to lock violaation and 0 records due to validation rule violations
Hi again all,
Im wondering how I can stop the messages that pop up when im about to run a update query,
I get the following
1. You are about to run a update query blah blah....
2. You wont be able to undo the changes this action blah blah
3. You are about to update X Rows
Idealy Id love to be able to turn off the messages in just this query, and not globally over the whole database, can this be done?
Also, Id like to get a error if there is one.. so only stop those message that are currently showing...
Any help would be awesome,
Cheers Ezy
I need to create a message box or a form or something to flash on the screen to tell the user that a piece of "Update" code is running. the update code will be updated reports from marketing returns, but the 3 branches who use the information are separate so I am creating an update form to download and update the table.
The code for the update is already working, but can take a while, so I thought a message or splash screen would be useful as the update runs on start up.
It would have another use, I have a report which is made mainly of calculated fields on an onPrint event and also takes a while to work it out, so a similar screen would be more useful than my current spinning circle and blank screen.
hi,
can any i tell me how to create a form or a simple messege to show the user, whe click to close the db???

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 .
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:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have "unchecked" all the confirm options under tools, but when I run the make table query it still displays "The existing table will be deleted before you run the query, do you wish to contiue? I would like it to just run without this message, or at least give a message of my choosing. Is this possible?
Thanks!
I already turned off all the checkboxes for running query confirmation (in the tool/option/Edit&find) but the users of my database still receive the pop-ups every time they run the queries. How can I fix this problem? (My database is for multiple-user environment.)
Thanks in advance,
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!
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
I have a Multi user Access Database which has been split into a Front and Back end. What I am noticing is sometimes when the user enters data into the Front end form, it is not being saved in the Backend tables....
How to confirm when the user clicks save that the data is actually being saved in the backend tables.
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.
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.
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
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like a confirm dialog to appear on button click, so when the user clicks 'yes', the on click event should continue and when the user click 'no', the event should stop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
All I am trying to do is insert to have a form with a "Delete Record" button on it. The problem is I don't want anyone to be able to delete a record, I would like someone to have to insert a password to confirm the delete.

I use datasheetview, when I want to delete the record I just select the row and press delete button and click "yes". However, when I click "no" (means I don't want to delete) the record is disappeared.
I create refresh button to Requery and Refresh the form but the record still not comes up. I have to close and open my form every time.
Any suggestion would be very appreciated.
