Hello
I have a three field table viz ItemName, ItemCode, ItemRate wherein ItemCode is Autonumber. What I needed was if I select 3 from dropdown of ItemCode, both ItemName & ItemRate be displayed on the form. A combo box can use to show one value and put other, but for twin values someone sugggested to use the AfterUpdate event. Is there no other way? I don't know how to code in Access. Can you please guide? Thanks
Is there a central reference on the net that explains the pro's and con's of each of the event types. I historically have used the OnChange event until the other day when someone suggested using the AfterUpdate instead.
Would like to ensure that I have the best event trigger being used where possible in various situations
Thanks in Advance
I Can't figure out why this doesn't work on a form that I want to populate the Timestamp field when they edit the record. Looks like it works for others that have posted.
Do I need to add a New Reference to the reference Libary?
I'm running Access2k
I get an error box stating the procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name.
What am I missing?
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Me.Timestamp = Now()
End Sub

I have a field on my form which I want to display a message box when something is entered.Private Sub BoI_AfterUpdate()Box = Msgbox("Is the booking date at least 7 days before the hiring and no more than 8 weeks in advance? If so, click Yes, otherwise, click No. You can check the calender on the Open Form under the 'Miscellanous' tab to check the date. Thank you.", vbYesNo, "Validation")If Box = vbYes Then Cancel = FalseElseCancel = TrueEnd IfEnd SubThat's my code, but I get an error after I type something in that field (BoI)."Compile error: Else without If" I have tried it with 'ElseIf Box = vbNo Then Cancel = True' but that also gives the same error.What's wrong with it?Thanks in advance. :D

I know what I want to do...but have no idea how to get started! I'm new to coding and using macros and quesries doesn't seem to help.
When field [TermDate] is updated with a value, I want to move the record from table [BadgeData] to table [Termed]. I'm sure this is easy for someone who'll be willing to throw out a few suggestions.
Also, is there anywhere in the code builder that will help identify what code (or commands) do? (Does that make sense?)
Hi. i am very thankful for all your help in my other queries for my database. i have one last question and i guess i will be done after that. i have a form which have 3 fields one is Number and the other is group and the next one is Account. all of them are combo boxes. I am trying to add this function in the Number field text box properties in afterupdate event which is as follow
Sub Number_Afterupdate()
If not isnull(Number) Then
Number=Format(Number, "000000")
Endif
End sub
The code is working fine. i debug it and run it no errors. i want to put this function in afterupdate. i copied this whole thing in the afterupdate box and when i go back to my control form try to enter numbers in the Number field it gives me this
Msaccess can't find the macro "private sub Mynumber" the macro or its macrogroup does not exist or the macro is new but has'nt been saved.
Can anyone help me out what i am doing wrong ? or can tell me steps what to do i really appreciate that and thanks alot FONZ :)
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the VB to check if a value is a duplicate afterupdate?
Many thanks.
Hello all:
I have a split, shared database in which the Before and AfterUpdate events on my forms are not working at all. I tried setting a breakpoint to verify this and, sure enough, they are not firing.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this may be occurring?
Thanks so much for the help. I have tried searching the forum with no luck.
Hi
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form.
What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly.
What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date.
I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine.
The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
Thanks
Below is the code I have created to calculate the values "CalcValue" and "CalcWork". The values for AssignValue, AssignPriority, Complex, Effort, Goal are all assigned by the selection made in the referred to/related combo boxes. However, the caluclated values return the concatonation of the intergers and not the sum of the integers. Additionally, if I am to use the CDec() function how do I specify the number of decimal places?
what am I missing here?
thanks!
Private Sub cboAssignPriority_AfterUpdate()
Dim CalcValue, AssignValue, AssignPriority, Complex, Effort, Goal, CalcWork As Integer
Value = 0
AssignValue = 0
AssignPriority = 0
CalcValue = 0
CalcWork = 0

AssignPriority = Me!cboAssignPriority.Column(2)
Complex = cboDBObjectID.Column(2)

I'm stumped....(newbie):)
I"ve got a unbound combo box (customername) that has two events (on click); AfterUpdate and NotInList.
The AfterUpdate uses a 'me.recordsetclone' in order to display other data in controls associated with customerid/customername from the Customer table.
The NotInlist, does just that, adds a new customer name to the
list along with a new autonumber (used as customerid).
The problem is that I'm getting two entries (different autonumbers). I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. If I remove the 'AfterUpdate' event, then I can't bring up the customer's data, since then there's no connection to the customername/customerid.
If I remove the Not in List, then there's no way to add a new customer. I reconfigured NotInList many many times and still I get 2 entries. One entry has Customer 'name only', The second entry has name, address, city and the rest of the fields as entered.
I tried setting an index (on Customer table) with CustID and CustomerID, making them unique, but still I'm getting 2 entries whenever I use the 'NotInList'..........Help Help,,
Here are these events:
Code: ( text )
Private Sub customername_AfterUpdate()
Dim rst As Object
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
rst.FindFirst "CustomerID=" & Me![customername]
If Not rst.NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
Else
'Not found!
End If
Forms![Add or Delete Customer]![customername].Requery

Dim FirstName As String
Dim LastName As String
Dim SpacePosition As Integer
Dim lngNextID As Long
' Find the highest Cust ID in the Customers table and add 1
lngNextID = DMax("[CustID]", "Customers") + 1
custID = lngNextID
SpacePosition = InStr(NewData, " ")
If SpacePosition = 0 Then

"Please enter a First and Last Name or choose an entry from the list.", _

Is there anyone that can help....thanks Shasha
Hello,
I have an "After Update" event procedure for a field on a form that calls a VBA sub. When I use a different VBA sub to input a value in the above mentioned field, the "After Update" event does not occur, even thought the data in the field has been changed. (Of course if I manually enter the data, the field "After Update" event works.)
Is there a flag or condition that needs to be set in my VBA sub to let the field realize that it has been changed? Or possible a way to call the fields AfterUpdate Sub?
I tried having a my sub call the AfterUpdate sub to see what would happen, but didn't get it to work. I got a bunch of error and didn't feel like this was really the way to go.
I also could just duplicate all the code in the AfterUpdate sub for the field, but we all know that that is not a good idea.
Thank you for any help.
I have a form (TransactionBody) & a subform (Detail) in the body I have an option group (Reg Office, Unaccepted and Returned) and want the returned button to be true "IF" a box Yes/No box called "Returned" is checked "yes" in the "Detail" form.
I have done simular things in regular forms but not with a subform. I know I need to setup a afterupdate event in the Detail subform in the "returned" yes/no box and I know the basic if..then...else lingo I just don't know how to reference the transactionbody form in the formula from the detail form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi all.
Benn looking through other posts and have found some things which look quite similar but nothing which answers the question simply enough for my standard!
Basically I have a form with 5 fields...Number, Name, Location, Date and Owner.
All fields are locked apart from Location and Date.
I have a combo box which lists the field "Number" and then displays the record's data. The aim of the form is to be able to update the Location field easily.
A user entering the form would use the combo box to select say number "3243". This would bring up record number 3243. The date displayed would be the last updated date. Currently 23/08/05. I am trying desperately to get the Date to refresh to the current date as soon as someone changes the "Location" field. I have tried putting in the AfterUpdate part of Location...Me.Date.Requery.
I feel that I may be well off track but that the answer I require is not too difficult. Please could someone advise?!?!
TIA.
--Update--
Think I've sorted it now everyone!!
My code looks like this, seems to do the trick.
Private Sub Combo15_AfterUpdate()
Me.Date = Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yy")
End Sub
I guess I should learn to try my hardest before posting here!! :)
Hi there,
I'd like to call a function when a bound textbox is updated and for some reasons it doesn't seem to work. It works when the textbox is unbound (or maybe I missed something)
Here is a very simplified version of the form:
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3618/apf4ax.jpg
MyFunction() is just a MsgBox for now and I'd like it to appear when the textbox in the main form is updated (i.e. when the text in the subform is updated). I set .AfterUpdate= "=MyFunction()" and .OnChange="=MyFunction()" but nothing happens.
(see attached code)
Thank you in advance !
Hello,
First post, new here. :)
I'm doing a course on Access and I'm trying to populate a text box based on the value I select in a combo box.
Basically, in the combo box I want to select a drug (for pets, it's for a veterinary clinic...) and in the text box next to it I want the cost to pop up. The list of drugs with their costs are listed in a separate table, with the drug name in column 1 (counting from 0) and the cost in column 3. I then have a continous form so I'd like to be able to keep adding drugs and their costs and then sum up the drug costs in a text box with the total.
Any help is much appreciated.
I have an afterupdate event that is supposed to send an email when a box is updated. Most of the times the code works fine except for one case.
The code checks the value of a field in subform in another tab of the same form
Code:
'find the MSM date
[Forms]![Project Main]![Marketing Specialist Main]![MSMDate].SetFocus
MSMDate = Nz([Forms]![Project Main]![Marketing Specialist Main]![MSMDate].value, "__-___-__")
This field (MSMDate) keeps its value in a separate table.
The problem comes when there is no value in this other table for the given project. If this is the case, the subform does not even appear on the main form (it is all a grey box) and the Setfocus returns an error.
I tried to comment the setfocus line to see what the NZ function would do in the next line and it also returns an error.
It is almost as if the subform was not "initialized" for that particular record...
How can I account for those cases?
I have a form with a combox control that is bound to a table. It is a status field. When the status changes, I would like to take the OldValue of both the status combobox and the status date and move them to a table that when accessed will show a history of the prior status and corresponding dates.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have structured a subform as a datasheet to allow users to copy and paste from Excel into the database. Datasheet has numerous fields and 18 rows. I have set up recalculations of other data in the AfterUpdate event of the fields in the datasheet. This works perfectly until the user copies multiple rows from Excel and pastes them (one column at a time) into the datasheet.
Is there an event I can capture when the user copies and pastes a column?
Muchas-Grasias for any assistance.
Hi -
I have a form with a subform in a datasheet view. They are arranged in a one-to-many relationship (It is an order header and then order detail setup). I am trying to get it so if a user updates a particular field (QTY) in the subform (which is in datasheet view), they must also update another field (SelectSize) in the same record. I have created an 'AfterUpdate' event for the QTY field. In it I have:
----------------
Private Sub QTY_AfterUpdate()
Forms![OrderForm]![OrderSubForm]![SelectSize].SetFocus
End Sub
--------------
The problem is if I already have data in the subform (e.g. 5 records), and I go to update the QTY in record #2, when the setfocus command runs, it puts me in the SelectSize field in record #5 instead of record #2. It doesn't matter what record number I try to edit, it always puts me in the SelectSize of the last existing record number. I have tried replacing "Forms![OrderForm]![OrderSubForm]![SelectSize].SetFocus" with "Me![SelectSize].SetFocus", but unsurprisingly, this does the same thing.
Does anyone know how to make the setfocus stay within the same record?
I am using Access 2003 (11.6355.6360) SP1.
Thank you,

I have a form with (among others) a Y/N field and a multivalued field. The Y/N field indicates whether or not the resident is year-round or not (seasonal/snowbird). The multivalued field contains the months the resident it here. The user wants me to auto-select all months in the multivalued vield when the year-round field is set to yes in order to minimize data entry.
I have been trying to use an AfterUpdate Event using the following syntaxes as a test but Access doesn't like the format at all:
[Master Table].[Months Available].[Value] = "June" (this gives 2465 error)
Me ! [Months Available].[Value] = "June" (this gives a 424 error)
I'm not at all fluent with VBA but have been successful in populating form fields using data fields in another table so thought this would be similar.
Any way other than not to use multivalued fields? Because that isn't an option.
I have a combo box, 'Type' that has two values - "Instrument" and "Equipment".Another combo box control, 'Criticality', has an Enabled = False value set OnCurrent.
When the user selects "Equipment", Criticality goes Enabled = True and when OnUpdate to "Instrument", Criticality goes Enabled = False.The Criticality field correctly displays and switches off if someone selects Instrument.
However, if someone puts a value in whilst Type is set to "Equipment" and then Type is reset to "Instrument" and in the meantime the user has selected a value for Criticality, the value stays 'stuck' in the Criticality box, despite the field being disabled. It is a bound field.How do I purge any contents stored in Criticality when the field is disabled? I presume it's something like an SQL statement to set the value to null, but I'm not quite certain.
i want to use the AfterUpdate to calculate the age using two text fields
Private Sub Birthdate_AfterUpdate()
Me.AGE = DateDiff("yyyy", [Birthdate], Now()) + Int(Format(Now(), "mmdd") < Format([Birthdate], "mmdd"))
End Sub
but it wont work
So I have a bound form with the following onload code:
Code:
'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function
Dim Completed As Double
[code]...
This works fine and set the caption and color of a label on this form.On this form I have several (now only a few, but in the end probably 40 controls or so) which will get updated by the user. When any of these controls are updated, I want the label lblpercentCompleted to get updated with the propper caption and color, however I am having trouble doing this.
I have an afterupdate event on each control with the same code as the onload code, however the message box below appears but the label does not update.
Code:
Private Sub TransferDieCutsOn_AfterUpdate()
MsgBox "Updating Label"
'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function
Dim Completed As Double
[code]...
I am using an unbound textbox at the top of my form for filtering purposes. The user types in a string and hits "Tab" which kicks of the filter which is defined in the AfterUpdate property. I want the focus to return to the same textbox and position the curosor after the last character. I am trying to use SelStart but not having success.
Code:
Me.Filter = "COURSE_NAME Like '*" & Me.txtFilter & "*'"
Me.FilterOn = True
txtFilter.SetFocus
txtFilter.SelStart = txtFilter.SelLength
