I created a database for someone at work, with the main point of it being for someone to enter a date in one field, and then 13 weeks from that date, it ticks a box, and then 26 weeks from the date inputted, it ticks another box.
Now, all was working fine, but today she came to me and showed me an error that keeps appearing.
What happens is when she creates a new record on the form, if she doesn't input either a date (so the above formula can work), or the persons name in the appropriate field, a Runtime Error 94 appears, which I think says 'Invalid Use of Null', or something along them lines.
I've looked at the coding, and am a bit stuck (bare in mind I don't know a great deal about coding).
From memory, in the coding, the database looks at the date inputted, then adds 13 or 23 weeks to the date, and ticks when it gets to that point. However, if this date isn't inputted, that is when the run time error appears. I have no idea at all why this happens when the name isn't inputted.
If it's any help at all, the bit that is highlighted in yellow in VB, when I click debug, is as follows:
dStart = Me.txtStartDate
Underneath this it has the formula that adds 13 weeks to that date, and then the same but for 26 weeks.
I'm guessing I need to tell it that when there is nothing inputted in the date field, it doesn't have to do the formula. It doesn't like having nothing in the date field.
Apologies if that makes no sense.
If anyone at all can help, it would be much appreciated.
I have made severa databses before but im trying to make this one perfect and im curious, when defining tables should you include atributes about an entity that are static?
Its kind of hard to explain what i mean but for example in a shoe shop a staff member gets commision on what they sell (ie 5%) so when producing the table should a coloum be reserved for commision or should this be left out as it will be calculated later on in a querie and if so should i state this in the design section of my database?
any opinions would be greatly received as i have been reading books on sql and ERD's for days and havent been able to obtain any answers
Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following: 1) Shows all records 2) Requery 3) ApplyFilter. The Where Condition for the filter is: Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)
Hi can anyone help i keep clicking on a qry and it comes up with this message "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblSTSLimits.Max Short'. but Max Short is correct can anyone help
I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL
SELECT PqryExpiredPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Orig_Exp_Date, PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key, PqryNewPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Name FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?
I get the following error message when I open a form, but I cant see anything wrong:
Run Time Error '2447':
There is an invalid use of the . (dot) or ! operator or invalid parenttheses.
This is the code that causes the problem:
Private Sub Form_Activate() If Me.SumOfTotalGVS > 16 Then MsgBox "You have exceded the total amount of GVS on the CATT site" Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 255 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 65535 Else Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 16777215 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 0 End If End Sub
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this line of code please. Im trying to count the number of records on another form that is open. This is an On_Click command from another form.
Hello all, I have an access application. I imported a form to it with all related tables and queries and modules from another application. Unfortunetaly, it didn't work. It gives me this error message when openning the form: The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: User-defined type not defined.
i have a form that allows me to save mobile phone details.
The problem with this form is that if its incomplete and i click 'x' it shows me the validation message followed by an error message (which is attached with this thread).....
why is that? is there anyway i can exit the form (incomplete) without the valdation message or error message occuring???
Function Age(varBirthDate As Variant) As Integer Dim varAge As Variant
varAge = DateDiff("yyyy", varBirthDate, Now) If Date < DateSerial(Year(Now), Month(varBirthDate), _ Day(varBirthDate)) Then varAge = varAge - 1 End If Age = CInt(varAge) End Function
I get this error when I try to run a query. I have attached a screeen print of the problem. Every thing else works just fine it is the same query I copied it and just change one of the fields. the other query orks fine.
the below scrip was taken from another forum member.
i have put this in the Forms / error VBA
but i still a little lost
i have set 3 fields to be indexed not to allow duplicate information (Forename, Surename, DOB)
i was then advised to error trap so it would highlight that i have enterd a duplicate record on typing in the DOB (As that as third feild to be entered)
so i then used the below script, however this doesnt highlight that it is a duplicate it just doesnt let me go on to the next record, the only time the error message is highlighted is when i go into design mode.
anyideas on where to go from here.
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) If DataErr = 3022 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis MerID alredy exist!" Exit Sub End If If DataErr = 2169 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis record will not be saved!" Exit Sub End If
I have an Access project that when it starts, lets you pick a folder and a file to open as input (done with VBA code), and that works beautifully. My project then processes the opened file and that works fine also. However, when I run the project a second time, pick another file (with the same format), my project then dies on me. If I get completely out of my project and thenre-enter it, it runs fine. I've enclosed a screenshot of the error I'm getting.
Any help is greatly appreciated. And yes, I did a search on this and several other forums as well as on Microsoft's site and could not find anything related to the error I'm getting.
I am in the UK and the company i work for moved to Budapest and so did my access database and is now on their server. Today a user in Budapest has come with a problem (see attachment). I really don't understand what has happened here...all the user is doing is clicking on a button, which has a hyperlink to another form, no printing involved at all. One of their colleagues in Budapest can run the report with no problems, do you think the problem is most likely to do with their computer settings...thanks for any responses.
Maintained a journal of daily happenings, on a Zip drive. Been doing if for 6+ years, thru various Access versions. Have bounced it back and forth between the zip drive and hard drive so am never more than two days apart. Today the zip drive comes up with: "The Microsoft Jet Database Engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." I can't reparir (tried it). can't compact (tried it) All suggestions gradly accepted.
