Creating A Message Alert On A Record
Feb 13, 2008
Hi
I am trying to create an alert function so that when a user open up a form and displays a record, it will also display any alerts that have been created for that record. e.g. missed payments etc.
I have created a table to store the alert data along with the job number to which the alert relates so in essence I can have more that one alert per job record. I amtrying get one of the alerts to display ok using the following code
alerts = DLookup("[Job _Number]", "Alerts", "[Job _Number]='" & Me.Job_Number & "'" And "[Start_Date]" >= Date)
You will see that I am trying to only display alerts that are within the valid date range (I have not yet included [End_Date] as I cannot get the code above to work.
Can anyone help me correct this code please?
The other thing is that because I am using a dlookup, I am assuming it will only display the first alert it finds in the table and that's it? If so, how do it get it to display all 'active' alerts with a matching job number. By active I mean where the Start date is >= Date() and End date is <= Date()
I would really appreciate any help on this..
Thank you all for reading.

I have a screen that has 8 different buttons and clicking on any of these buttons generates an appropriate letter and once the button was clicked in also inserts a date, today's date.
Private Sub btnSecondReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnSecondReport_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'* Call the standard letter printing routine for this form.
Call StandardLetterVariables("Bd$50paid.doc")
btnFirstReport.SetFocus
[DTSecondLetterSent] = Date
Exit_btnSecondReport_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnSecondReport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnSecondReport_Click
So I would like to create an alert that looks at this date and 14 days from that date will alert, remind whatever I want to do.
I am thinking it wouldn't be too hard to create a reminder that pops up when the record is opened but I am sure users will want to be reminded without having to go into the record.
My question: can I and is it hard to create a reminder that will take care of paying attention when and who needs to be reminded or should I just create a report and let them run this.
I hope this makes sense and sombody has done this.

I need to be able to produce an error on a form where the user attempts to create a new user that already exists. The error needs to be produced when the save button is clicked.
See below for the existing code on my save button which exists in form, 'frmAddEditUser':
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
If IsNull(cboManagerID) = True Then
MsgBox "Please select a manager", vbExclamation, "Details Missing!"
Me.cboManagerID.Requery
[Code] ....
Currently, if I attempt to create a user with the same Payroll ID as an existing user, my 'User details saved' message box is displayed and to the user it looks like a new record has saved successfully which isn't the case.
I need a message box to appear displaying something like "Payroll ID n already exists" where n is the 'PayrollID' of the duplicate record. (Is it possible to combine a value from a certain control and ones own custom text?)
Note: PayrollID is a combination of letters and numbers, i.e. two letters, followed by 5 numbers, e.g. JD12345.
For reference, the table/field and and control are called, '[tblUser].[PayrollID]' and 'txtPayrollID' (on 'frmAddEditUser') respectively; it is from this field and control that I want the error to be produced if the user is entering the same values which are existing in 'tblUser'.

Is there a way to have Access send an alert message when a particular date is getting close? I have a database that tracks automatic step increases to pay and when the dates occur. I would like to create a pop up that could alert me when a date is getting close so that I can inform the budget person that a certain employee will be getting a bump in their pay starting on a particular date? Is that possible in 2010?

Hi,
I have a form with some bound fields and some unbound fields. If I make any change to the bound fields I can use the "Before update" event to perform some actions when a user tries to move onto a new record.
What I now need is if a user doesn't make any change to the bound fields but makes a change to an unbound field - how can I check this before the next record is displayed. Is there any event I can use? Each time a user tries to move to a new record I want to check first if they have added anything to an unbound field.
Users can move onto the next record using buttons or the record navigator at the end of the form.
Many Thanks,

I have a form in continuous forms mode...
Each entry is something the user is supposed to check on once and hour and update.
I have a "Last updated" field.
Now() goes into that field every time the record is updated.
I have a querry that will show the users records that are over an hour old.
How can I get Access to pop-up a window or something to alert the user they need to look at something? It would be really nice if Aspect would start blinking in the task bar or something.
Thanks!

Friends, as I have not received a response to a previous question, I am again posting my problem trying to bee more clear.
I have developed a search form with a txtbox and a cmdbutton to open a form based on a query.
The cmdbutton opens a form if the record is found. Can anyone help me with VBA to display a No Record Found message?
THis is what I have on the OnClick Event of the button:
If IsNull(Me.txtsearch) Then
DoCmd.CancelEvent
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "myform", acNormal, "myquery", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.Echo True, ""
End If
Note that the query behind the form has following in the criteria in the LName field:
like [forms]![welcome]![txtsearch]
Thank you.

Hi All,
I have a form that when loads, runs some VBA on the "On Current" event.
Some of that code, fills in text boxes, with concatenated (?) strings.
So every time I use the record selector and get to the end of all the records, the "On Current" fires adds the concatenated string (even if it's empty), and that then becomes a new record! Is there some way i can prevent this, but still keep the "On Current" event, some type of logic I could run before the concatenations etc.
Any Help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Well from reading the forums i have learned alot about access but now i am stuck and can't find what i am looking for.
I am building a database basically to track the Software bought for our company.
I have my Application table and my purschased table. The relationship between the two is ApplicationID.
What i need is to be able to do is look up the ApplicationID and then have that vaule be added to the new purschase record. My method of doing this was to created a form with 3 list boxes and 1 text box (not viewable). The list boxes are Company, Application, Version. The text box is the returned ApplicationID.
The list boxes dynamically adjust based on your selecetion to find the vaule of the 1 text box "ApplicationID".
Once you have selected the application you want to add as a purschase i have a button to open the Purschase form. I have everything that needs to be filled out in the form. My problem is getting the vaule of ApplicationID in the purschase form for the new record.
My problem;
Right now when the Purschase form opens it as all the data and the ApplicationID is shown as being correct but not selected. Right now the user would have to manualy select the vaule for the data to be commited to the record.
How do i selected a record so the data is submittied and a new record is started, on open, then set the focus onto a new field. This way the user does not have to do it manually.
I hope that makes sense to everyone.

I have been tasked with building an Access MDB Database for absolute beginners and i need to guide them as fool proof as possible through the database
My Question is
I need to write a Macro or VBA and I need to warn the user if they are trying to move to the 1st record or the last record in the database
I would like to give it my own message box stating that is not possible to go further
Is this possible using a Macro or using VBA

Hi All,
This is my first post here and I imagine there will be many more as I have only just started out using Access to create a database at work and I am sure that I'm breaking many rules along the way.
Anyway, over the weekend, my boss tried to add some information (to the "Memo" field) in a form that I have created from a table, went to close the form and got a message saying something along the lines of "this record cannot be saved, if you close it, information will be deleted.
Now, in the Memo field, is the text "#Deleted" - when I try to overwrite this and come out of the record, it comes up with the message "record is deleted". If I put information in any other field in the record, there is no problem.
Also, in the table, if I try to sort by the Memo field, it comes up with same message, "record is deleted".
Does anyone know what I've done and how I can solve this?
With thanks in advance.
Ronnie

My profile on ecademy (http://www.ecademy.com/user/tonyhine)
I had a problem importing just one table I kept getting the message “Record is deleted” and no records were imported.
First I thought it may be because there were quite a few columns in the table so I tried importing just one column, however I got the same message “Record is deleted“ .
I considered it could be because the database was originally in a Company office workgroup. I wondered if the “Work group security” was causing the problem. I read up on this and found that importing the objects directly into a new database was one of the recommended ways of circumventing this problem. This was what I was already doing! So what was wrong?
Next idea, I exported all of the records into an excel spreadsheet. This was successful! So I then re-imported the records from the spreadsheet back into a table in the database.
There were a couple of problems, in that all of the text fields were converted to 255 character length. Although annoying I thought I could handle this problem. I proceeded making a few changes to this database, then I noticed that one of the fields that had been imported was originally a “Memo field” it had been converted to a text field with 255 characters. As soon as I noticed, I checked to see if any data had been lost by comparing this field with the original data. I found a significant loss of data so back to the drawing board!
All of the other tables had imported correctly, only this one seemed to be giving problems, I had tackled the size problem it was not a big table by MS Access standards, but I felt it could be the size, In particular the number of fields could be causing this error. But just trying to import one field at a time hadn’t worked?
Then it dawned on me what if I tried to import one record at a time --- that worked! So I wrote the query with a between statement I tried 10, then a 100, then a thousand records it worked fine! However when I tried 5000 records the error re-occurred?
I realized that I probably had some corrupt data in the table, so I set about systematically extracting a limited number of records until I found the area where the corruption was.
This worked but returned “0” records --- Between 11001 And 12000
“Between 12001 And 13000” Got error message “Record is deleted”
I got to 12800 all ok
12900 caused error
Error is in a record between 12800 and 12900
I will continue to whittle it down!
OK to 12819
The corrupt record is: 12820
I had found the corrupt record! Now all I had to do was create two queries one each side of this corrupt record to extract the information.
On inspection of this corrupt record I discovered that the memo field contained the following: “#Deleted “ I am going to attempt to modify the memo field and see if it fixes the corruption of the database.
My attempt at modifying the corrupt record, in particular the memo field containing “#Deleted” caused the error message to re-occur. “Record is deleted”
I have made a copy of the actual record 12820 and pasted it into a spreadsheet to send to the customer so that it can be checked in the existing data on their system.
Fortunately there were no related records in other tables affected.

I have a query in Access which I have always updated no problem until today. I tried to update the usual fields and it says "This recordset is not updatable". Does anyone know why this would have changed and how I can get it back to updatable?

Hi,
I get an error message when I add a new record to my database. It occurs when I open my form and use the [arrowright*]-button and when I use the switchboard button to add a new record using a form.
An error message is displayed, but when I dismiss the error (click OK), then everything seems to be normal and the record is added normally with the entered info. It is a bit annoying, though.
Since I have the dutch version, I'll try to translate the message:
"You can not add/append a value to this object
* The object possibly is a control-element in a read-only form
* The object is part of a form that is opened in the design view
* The value is too large for this field"
The error occurs right after I have typed the first character into a field on the form. The form consists of a few subforms. And I don't think any of the by access suggested errors have anything to do with this...
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
MuFfiNimal

I am getting a "cannot change or add a record because a related record is required in table 'tblOrder'". I have scoured this site so forgive me if there is a post already on this.
My Order table has:
OrderID
CustomerID
SalesTaxRate
My Order detail table has:
OrderDetailID
PoNumber
TransDate
ProductID
OrderID
QuantitySold
QuantityReceived
QuantityOrdered
TransType
I wasn't sure if by this you could point me in the right direction as to why it is saying this. I am very new to Access so bare with me. Thanks
