May 8, 2006Working on a calendar project. I've found some helpful code, but I don't want to use someone elses whole project. So while trying to understand how all this works I'm running into some problems. I am using to start one of the simpliest codes I have found.
```````````````````````````````
Private Function filldates()
Dim curday As Variant, curbox As Integer, Tbox As Variant
curday = DateSerial(Year(Me![FirstDate]), Month(Me![FirstDate]), 1) 'first day of month
curday = DateAdd("d", 1 - Weekday(curday), curday) 'back to sunday
For curbox = 0 To 36 'need to loop thru 36 textboxes
Me("D" & curbox) = Day(curday)
Me("D" & curbox).Visible = False
Me("T" & curbox).Visible = False
If Month(curday) = Month(Me!FirstDate) Then Me("D" & curbox).Visible = True
If Month(curday) = Month(Me!FirstDate) Then Me("T" & curbox).Visible = True
curday = curday + 1 'nextday
Next curbox
End Function
```````````````````````````````````````
'Note' I have added the "T" box for additional info.....
My problem is this...... I have 36 boxes that can contain variable dates. What I want to do is on the "Click" or "DoubleClick" event of say...... box "T14" I need to determine what date is the current value of "T14" and then I can open the other form to that date. This other form would be details of whatever date is currently in "T14"
Does that make sense???? Hope so! :)
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Determining Appropriate Const MaxRecords
Jun 7, 2005I have an ASP / Access storefront, connecting through JET OLE, which is frequently crashing with '800040005 System Resource Exceeded'. The whole ODBC/Jet service must be restarted by my host manually.
Usually this error indicates an unclosed rs.open. I have however triple checked all code and there are no unclosed loops.
I am examining the basic connection variables and wondering if perhaps as my database has grown over the last year, the following original 'out of the box' settings are no longer suitable, and causing this error.. in particular maybe the 'Const MaxRecords' is no longer enough (or is too many?). How does one calculate what these Const settings should be?
Thanks for any help!
Code:Response.Buffer = TrueConst adEditAdd = 2Const adCmdText = 1Const adCmdTable = 2Const adOpenForwardOnly = 0Const adOpenKeyset = 1Const adOpenDynamic = 2Const adOpenStatic = 3Const adUseClient = 3Const adLockPessimistic = 2Const adLockOptimistic = 3Const maxRecords = 200

Modules & VBA :: Determining New Month And Run A Procedure
Aug 6, 2013I've been stumped for the past couple of days trying to discern a method for a form to determine that it's a new month and run a procedure and only run it on month change.
My initial thought is:
Open recordset
move to the last record
compare the month in a date field within the last record to the current month
and run the procedure if the month is different.
I can't get this to work however and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. To be honest I typically fumble my way through VBA when it comes to opening recordsets. Here's what I got:
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db as CurrentDB
Dim strSQL As String
Set rs = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset("FlightLog")
strSQL = SELECT [txtDate] FROM [FlightLog]
[Code] ....
txtReqNumb and txtFltNumb are the values to be reset at the beginning of each month.
Am I on the right track and just have the VBA wrong?
Determining A Forms Location (when Form Is Not Current)
May 31, 2005Greetings. :)
I am trying to position opened forms so that they are cascaded on the screen. I have discovered the movesize action (for the DoCmd) and Move property of a form (for Acc 2002/2003). However, if the application is opened up on different monitors (e.g.; 17" or 19"), the relative location of the opened form is not the same (i.e.; on the bigger monitor the opened form is too far over to the right and too high).
What I want to do is ...
When the subsequent (or second) form is opened up I would like to find the absolute location of the first form (always centered). This way I will be able to reposition the second and third forms relative to the first form.
Is this possible?
I'm having trouble referencing the first form from within the second form. The first form is still open, but they are not linked forms (not parent/child). I've tried:
forms("firstformname").left
forms("firstformname").top
but this does not work.
I've gone to online help and I've looked around in the newsgroups. But can't find any info. Anybody out there will suggestions?

General :: Determining The Values In One List Based On Another
Jun 27, 2012I have a table with a few Listbox options. I want one of the columns' values to be determined by the value chosen in another field. How do I do this?
Example: In column A I choose value ABC from the dropdown. I want column B to now offer values in that list of DEF, GHI, JKL. If I chose XYZ in column A instead, I'd want the column B list to show MNO, PQR, STU. Etc.
Modules & VBA :: Determining If Another Form Is Loaded In Add Mode
Feb 2, 2014I have two related forms.One is a list of transactions and the other is used for both inquiry and adding new transactions. If the Inquiry form is just sitting in Add mode and the List form tries to open it in Edit mode, it won't open. Is there a way I can tell from the List form that the Inquiry form is in Add mode and either close it or tell the operator about the issue?

Modules & VBA :: Determining Number Of Users Of Split Database
Nov 1, 2013We have a database that is split. Every user has their own front end (installed via a .bat file so that the users always have a local copy of the most recent version), linked to a shared back end on a server. This seems stable and functional for us so far.
However, because our users are geographically separated, I don't actually know how many folks are using the database. I know the folks who contact me, but everyone in our company could use it if they wanted to.
For requesting funding, guiding future development, etc., I need to get some metrics:
Total number of unique users
Avg uses per day
Total number of simultaneous users (daily, weekly, and monthly maxes and mins)
What is the best way to get this info? Write user info and a timestamp to a table each time a front end is launched? Are there tools for monitoring this sort of information?
Determining Actual Running Time Of External Application In Access
May 3, 2014I want to run an external application (a batch file) ... and want to run it by clicking on a command button on a form. That part is all fine, using the Shell command. I can determine the start time of the application (also fine with now() function) .. but want to find out how long the external application ran and log that "run time" into my database.
The part I don't know about is the .. really the ending time. How do I determine how long the application really ran for / ended ? I imagine I can use datepart to determine the difference in the start and end times. Or would I use a timer control. (but I cannot find the timer control in Access 2010).
Set Focus Nothing?

Set Focus
Jan 9, 2006I am having trouble getting the cursor to change focus after updating a field in my tab control subforms. I have a main form with a tab control and 4 related subforms for each record in the main form.
I have a calendar that pops up with the On Click of my Date field. When the date is selected, it enters it into the field and the calendar closes. For some reason though the user cannot simply go to the next record with the mouse and has to tab to or select another field in the same record first and then click on the Date field in the next record.
I have tried SetFocus to "Hours" (the next field after "Date")and "NextRecord" on every Event I can think of but it does nothing, it just stays on the changed field and the only way to get out of it is to go to another field. I've tried saving, requery, etc. I've also tried the options shown in the forum with no luck and using different events associated with the Calendar form - On Close, Lost Focus, etc.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Nov 30, 2006Hi
I have a problem with setting focus to a text box. There is a listview on the form.

Focus Problem
Feb 22, 2005I have two buttons on a form, one of them adds default information to three boxes, the other clears the info. I want to be able to hide one o the buttons depending on what is in the box.
I know I need to change the focus away from the control in order to hide it, but how do I do it please?
I have this so far, but there is something missing!
Private Sub Command744_Click()
Me.BdeRec40kMarksmanship = Null
Me.BdeRec40kFireStatus = Null
Me.BdeRec40kOpening_Range = Null
Me.Command743.Visible = True
Me.command777.Visible = False
End Sub
Subforms Focus
Mar 21, 2005i have a main form, in which i have included 2 subforms on it. Now when i am at the last control on the main form, the focus moves to the first control of one of the subforms. However, when i am at the last control of this subform, on hitting the tab key, the focus does not move to the first control of the other subform.
How can i achieve this please?
Thank you!
Focus Problem, I Think...
Apr 6, 2005I have a form that allows a user to select from a variety of options and then generate a report. It consists of three option groups:
1) Select a Team: A B C
2) Select a Report: A B C
3) Input a Date Range: From (blank) to (blank)
If you progress down the list and finish entering the enddate and then click the mouse on the Run Report button, nothing happens. The cursor remains blinking in the enddate field. You have to manually re-select one of your previous options on the form to get rid of the flashing cursor and then re-click the Run Report button to generate the report.
The option to include the Run Report button in the tab order is not available, I don't know why, but it is an image if that makes a difference.
Any ideas? I'm thinking I have to set focus for something. I just don't know when or where.
Thanks for all replies!

Focus On A Form

View 1 Replies View RelatedObject Focus
Jul 8, 2005I'm trying to force a user to enter text into a field. To this end, I've created a subroutine for the exit method of the text box they are supposed to fill out. I check to see if the .text property is null, and if so create a message box that pops up a notification telling the user they need to fill in said field. After that, I try to use the Me.txtReason.SetFocus (the text box is called txtReason) to return the focus to that text box, but instead it moves on to the next text box. Is there a way I can prevent the user from leaving the text box until they've entered some sort of data into it?
Thanks,
Dave
