I created a database for obtaining customer information at a trade show. The entry form is set to Pop up. Entry in data fields is required. I set a macro at the end of the entry form, "New Record Macro" to save the record and then to GoToRecord to create a new blank form for the next person to fill in. When a field is left blank, an error screen pops up using the actual name of the field left blank. Then a Macro Single Step error screen pops up. I need to replace these pop ups with customized directions. I'd like to completely eliminate the Macro Single Step error. I have no experience in Visual Basic. I am using Access 2010.
Thanks for all your numerous help. I posted this earlier, but got no response, your urgent help is required.
I usually get 2 error messages on my form.
When I set up the table, I made the date field mandatory. The first error message, error 3314, "The field 'Memo.Date' cannot contain a Null value because the required property for this is se to True. Enter a value in this field"
I would like to change this error message to: "Enter Date of Memo"
The second error is: Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time error '490': Cannot open the specified file
End Debug buttons.
I would like to change this error message to: "The file does not exist/it has not been previously saved."
And I don't want the End or Debug buttons to show.
I have this database, and it was always customized every month. Is it possible if Access will customized the form using a form? The form has a category Order and under Order there are different order names to be checked, is it possible if the user will just add another order name and it will be added on the form.
So i want to be able to make the whole syntax available for user to edit without actually doing it in vba. is this possible in vba? i have attached an image
Ok, I got this template from the Microsoft Office template site. I want to customize it a bit, but I have been trying and trying and cannot get it to do what I want. I would like to get rid of the - after the postal code, so that it looks like 68214 instead of 68214-. I have attached the file if anyone is willing to take a look and edit it for me or if you could try it out and explain how to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm currently using Microsoft Access 2000. In there I've created a Customized Menu. Now what I'm looking to do is - when I click a menu item, I want it to enable another menu item. I tried using "SetMenuItem Action" but it keeps on telling me that this function only works with customized menus. I'm sure I created a customized menu.
I would like to create my own input mask for a ssn field. The problem is that my ssn field has 13 characters (text) and the following format 000-00-0000xx.

When we use DoCmd.SendObject, the object name is always the same name of table, query or report.Can we customize object name to something else more descriptive? For example:
If I send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about John Smith, the object name now is "SalesPerSalesman.pdf" If i send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about Maryann Johns, the object name would be again "SalesPerSalesman.pdf"
However , the object name I would like "SPS_JohnSmith.pdf"and the report for Maryann Johns, I would like as object name "SPS_MaryannJohns.pdf"
Syntax DoCmd.SendObject ObjectType, ObjectName, OutputFormat, To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, MessageText, EditMessage, TemplateFile ObjectName � Name of table, query, Report etc.
I need to customize the sample Contact Management DB (CONTACT) that comes with MS Access 2000.
I removed the field ‘Region’ in the ‘Company’ table, in the ‘Company’ form, and in the ‘ContactAddress’ query, respectively. Now, when I try to access the ‘Enter/View Contacts’ form through the Main Swithboard's button, it shows a small warning windows asking to ‘Enter Parameter Value’, referring to "Company.Region." What did I wrong and/or should I do to correct this problem?
i have a combo box on a payment form which shows existing permit #s. i'd like to make the sort order show the most recently added permit first. i clicked on the build button next to RowSource on the data tab of the properties of the combo box which opens the query my combo box is based on. there are only 3 sort order options...ascending, descending, & not sorted. can this be done?
the permits form has a button to open the payments form (payments can also be opened alone too - ie. if somone applies for a permit today but pays for it tomorrow...). usually this will not be the case but that is why i have to keep it either combo or list.
I just split my DB into a front end and a back end. I only want the users to have access to 2 forms in the DB because the form already has buttons that link to all other forms and reports needed. How do I customize the front end view so that they only see these 2 forms?
I have the following script which customizes the right click menu.
The problem that I am having is that I call the script to add the right click from the form open event and then multiple users can not access the same database.
I use one for forms and then another for reports.
If I manually close the open forms then reopen them then multiple users can use the same database.
If I close and reopen forms with vba the right click still remains making the database not accessible to multiple users.
It is definitely this as when I comment it out from the open event of the forms then everything is OK.
I call the following from the open event of the form as follows
Code: Public Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) FormsShortcutMenu End Sub
The following is stored in a module
Code: Public Sub FormsShortcutMenu() Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl On Error Resume Next CommandBars("cmdRightClick").Delete
Is there any way to customize append query confirmation message? Unclicking Confirm Tools-->Options-->Edit/Find-->Confirm-Action Queries disables all warning messages.
My query takes some records from one table and append them to another table. When I run the query, first warning message says "Warning you r about to run an append query that will modify data in your table" (this is the message I do not want to see) and then if OK is clicked, the message says "you are about to append XXX rows...(this is the message I would like to customize)

I have a split Database into Back-End and Front-End. I want to hide the Access Customize Option in my Front-End. I have tried to make the Database ACCDE but the option still appears to Customize the Access Database.

Is there anyway to customize the background of a message box that is brought up via a macro or VBA event? It would be kind of fun to have a stop sign image in the background of a "save and close form" prompt.
I am using Access 2007-2010 and I was able to create a report but now I want to include a stacked bar in it.
My report shows one record at a time, so the values for my chart change accordingly. The chart should have four columns: Student, Homemaker, Retired, Employed I have assigned a colour for each category in "Edit" mode (by clicking separately on each column). However, sometimes the results don't show all four values and then my stacked chart only has 3 categories, but I would like it to show the missing category and just have value as 0. But most importantly the colours get all messed up. Can I permanently assign a color for each column?
Also the order is not how I want it to show. Right now it's in alpha order..how can i customize the order of the columns?
I tried doing this in datasheet - saved; but when I switch to a report view - everything changes back...

Hi, I have another problem with my Access database now...
I am trying to disable fields when a certain value is chosen. I can do it for one field with this code:
If ALLOCATION_LP = "Other" Then OTHER_ALLOCATION_LP.Enabled = True Else OTHER_ALLOCATION_LP.Enabled = False End If
That one works perfectly well, but I have another one that needs to disable two fields instead. If they choose "No Extant PP", I want it to disable two fields; one combo box - PLNG_PERMISSION_STATUS_2 (which I can get to and it works) and also an "Other" text box - OTHER_PLNG_PERMISSION_STATUS_2 (this is where i get stuck). I have tried two If statements, but whether I'm writing them wrong, I'm not sure.

Exit Sub Where2 comes from another control and has to be filled in before they get to this control. also "where1" and "where2" are set as public stings
