Display Message In Detail Form When No Records Present
May 2, 2005
The record source of a form that I have is based on a user selection in a combo box in the header of the form. When the form opens there may or may not be any records to display. Currently I put up a message box when there are no records displayed but this only happens when the form is newly opened.
I was wondering if it is possible to have a label displayed in the detail section instead whenever there are no records to display, such as something along the lines of "There are no records to display with the selected option, please choose an alternative.".
I realise that I may be asking the impossible but I'm a member of the "If you don't ask you'll never know" club.
Ok, let's say I have 3 tables with the following data
T1 T2 T3 1 , 1 , 1 2 , 2 , 3 3 , 4 , 4 , , 5
I'd like to be able to create a query that has the only record as its result as 5 as it is the only data item the does not exist in Tables 1 and 2. I don't just want to search for 5, I can do that :) I would like to be able to write a query which finds all the records that are present in one table, but are not present in x number (in this case 2) of other tables.
I don't seem to be able to find any simple way of doin this and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on any forums. Anyone got any ideas?? :)
If I have a report and it has controls (labels representing column titles) in the page header. Now when I print the report - if it happens that the last page has no detail records - but there is text boxes and so forth in the report footer. Is there a way to not display the page header on the last page?
I have a report where the last page shows the page header - and the field/column labels on the page header - but for which there is no detail records left to display - on the last page. There is report footer information that should display. It just looks weird because the field/column labels show at the top of the page - but there is no data remaining to print under them on that last page.
I have a button that duplicates records 'X' amount of times based on a value in a text box.
I need a message box to advise the user that they have created record number from - to
Eg
User creates 5 records - first record created has a auto number of 3200
I need the message box to say 'you have just created records 3200 - 3204
Is this possible?
Here is the current code on the duplicate button courtesy of Uncle Gizmo
Private Sub AddRecord_Click() On Error GoTo AddRecord_Click_Err Dim x As Integer For x = 1 To (Me.txtAmount.Value - 1) DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
Only just started happening, with no explaination! Only one subform out of 5 shows as just background space until a choice is made from a combo box and then the thing appears with the record. WHY?!?!?! I HATE ACCESS... It's rubbish!! Apologies for my outburst...
I have a searchable form that display information on agreements other companies have with us. If a company requests an inspection we have 30 days to go out and complete it.
I am trying to create a message box that will display all inspections that are due within 5 days when the form loads. No luck so far, only broken dreams.
Is it possible for message boxes to use expressions and display information that fits the criteria?
I have two text boxes and I'm wondering how I can filter my records of my table (through my query), between two numbers on my form. So for example lets call the two text boxes Num1 and Num2, the logical process is:
Code: IF Num1 or Num2 IS empty THEN filter records with "*" ELSE IF Num1 and Num2 contain a number THEN filter records between those two numbers
SQL, Me.Filter, BETWEEN in criteria. How I can accomplish this.
does access have the ability to create a query where all records are present, all fields are present, yet some data within some fields aren't displayed?
I have a subform which lists a set of records. In the footer section of the subform, I have a number of controls which display calculations based on the records present.
The number of records in the subform will change (reduce). Basically, this is a review / approval function, the idea being that each record will be checked and approved, which will then remove it from the list.
So eventually, all of the records in the subform should disappear (the subform is requeried each time the user approves a record)
I want to be able to hide the controls in the footer section once the subform has been cleared of all records.
But not sure
a) how to determine when the subform's recordset reaches zero and
b) what event to use to fire the code to hide the footer controls.
This is my basic attempt :
Code: Private Sub Form_Current()Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Me.FormFooter.Controls ctl.Visible = Not (Me.Recordset.EOF) Next ctl End Sub
But it doesn't work (it only seems to fire when the subform is loaded, not when it is requeried after each approval?)
I've tried Form_Query, Form_DataChange and Form_DataSetChange but no joy with those either.
i have a form which contains three subforms. the subforms are based on queries which get their parameter value from an option group. all this was working fine until i had the bright idea of displaying a msgbox when no records are found in the subforms.
i had entered the following code that i had found on one of the posts in this forum:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "There are zero records in the data source!", vbInformation, "No Records Found" DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.name End If
End Sub
the trouble is that if the user makes a selection in the option group whereby there are no records in two or more subforms, it throws up two different msgboxes stating the same.
I want the form to be such that everytime the subforms are requeried, there shud be only one msgbox stating tht no records were found for the relevant subforms. (this msgbox doesnt appear when there are records). for eg the msgbox shud say that "no records found for subfrm1 and sbfrm2 etc". if subfrm 1 and two don't have records but subfrm3 does.
I have a form designed to execute a query with a prompt for a particular record. When the record being searched for is not there the form become blank with nothing on it. I would like to return a message that indicates that the record was not found and give he user an option of reexecuting the query of exiting the form.
I am creating a report that is organized by project. The detail lines are to list payments applied to the project. How can I skip the detail section (or print a single blank line) if there are no payments in the separate payment table that match the project ID? Is there a way to tell that there were no matching payments and format accordingly? I currently get multiple blank lines.
I have a report that contains a subreport (form) that pulls records from a query. When I go to run the report, the records are there correctly, but the subreport continues to duplicate many times.
I have a combo box and button on a form that should open another form and display the results in a datasheet view filtered by the combo box selection. The second form is based on a query that has the following criteria in the JobType field:
Code: Form!frmReportView!cboType
When I run the query it correctly prompts me to enter a value for the criteria and displays the proper results. Likewise, the same thing occurs when I run the second form independently. The problem is when I try to run it with the combo box and button. The second form opens in a datasheet view with the headings, but no detail records are being displayed.
I am trying construct a form that will only show an invoice if all the invoice records have been approved. I have created a form that will allow the user to look at each line of an invoice and has a checkbox to approve it. If the user has selected all the boxes it will disappear from the Approval view, which is a query that shows unique values.
The problem is that if all of the lines but one are checked it will also show up in the view for the unapproved invoices AND the approved invoices. I would like to know how to structure a query that shows unique values but ONLY if ALL of the invoice line items have been approved.
I am trying to create a report which basically includes the following:
Company, Wages, Contribution.
Each company reports wages for each employee every month. Then they also contribute to a general fund based on a percentage of the wages. For instance:
Each employee is required to contribute, in this example, 1% of gross wages to the general fund.
On occasion, the company does not pay in the required 1% of gross, say, for CompanyA EmployeeA, they only paid in $35.
Here is what I need to do. If any contribution amount for any employee is incorrect, I want to display all the records for that company, not just the incorrect ones. The report is grouped by Company, and may contain dozens of companies.
I am already passing a number of criteria to the report using a filter, including the date range and other fields which are informational.
I have a query that querys another query for check boxes that are checked. I would like to display in a text box on a form the # of records that the query found to be checked. I have looked all day and have found nothing that I have enough knowledge to use. I need to know how and how to apply this. If you have other suggestions to do this, I am game! :) Thanks!!!
:rolleyes: Hmm how should I put it? I want like to create a form so I can show 8 to 10 records at a time on a single page (instead of using continuous form); so when I press the next button, the next set of 8 records will be show on the next page.
I want to be able to display all the Vacancies for one company in a form and all the consultancy in one form, i know i could do it though querys but i have 600 companies and that would be ridiculous.
Is there any way i can do it by selecting a business and been able to see all records for that business.
I am new here and have been using the build features (and not the code as I do not understand this) to build my registration database.
I have several tables of imported data nicely displayed in one form with tabbed sections. When I tried adding new records by entereing them in the form, they are saved in the underlying tables but the new records are not displayed in the form when I go back into the form.
All the tables seem to be linked to the form when I go into the form selector and Edits are allowed in the property box.
I need to put in a form which basically lists all the clients names, with a button next door to each name, allowing them to edit their details. Is this possible.
Basically when loading the form, all client names are displayed in alphabetical order. Clicking on the edit button next door to the client, displays the client details in another form for easy editing. How can I do this .
I have a macro in the On No Data event of a report that displays a message when the item number a user requests does not exist in the table being queried.
Now I need to get the same functionality in a form. The form is based on a parameter query with only one criteria [Please enter item number]. The form opens in Edit mode when a valid item number is entered.
I see that there is no On No Data event for either forms or queries, so I'm stumped on how to proceed.
Hi, does anyone know how to create a query/or form that promts the user with a message box that says "enter table name", from this if the user types "A" then table A will be opened for the user to add data into or if the user types in "B" then table B will be opened for the user to add data into. Ideally I would like a form that opens (either form a or form b) that allows the user to enter the details into the corresponding table (a or b)
Tables A & B are both emty to start of with. The field names in both tables are: user_id, firstname, lastname, date
