Duplicate Warning Form To Appear On Screen
Oct 5, 2006
Help!
I have 2 tables with the following fields:
Table1
CustID - (Autonumber/PK)
FirstName
MiddleName
LastName
Address
City
ContactNumber
Table2
CustID
VehID - (Autonumber/PK)
PlateNumber
FrameNumber
ProdNumber.... etc.
Property of all fields in Table2 are set to Indexed(No Duplicates).
I need a warning message form to appear on the screen if User adds a new record of PlateNumber which already exist. Then, automatically shows User who currently owns that PlateNumber.
Thanks!

I am running Access 2002 on Windows XP Pro and have been teaching myself this program. I have created a large contact database with one main table and associated forms for entering data as well as reports driven by queries. What I can't figure out is how can I get a warning message to appear if a user enters a possible duplicate individual into a form. For example, if someone is entering an individual into a form that is bound to the main table and the same last name belongs to an individual already in the table, it may or may not be a duplicate. I'd like to learn some way of immediately checking the potential duplicates and then deciding weather or not to continue with the entry. Thanks much, in advance for any suggestions.

I have struggled with this for so long now I hope someone can help.
I have a form called frm_Collections which is run from the query (qry_Collections). When I type into the Reg field in the Form I would
like the user to know if the Reg details have already been used in a
previous record. The database can have duplicates in this field, however a
"Warning Message" would promt some investigation.
I have tried loads of DLookup on Before Update, but really need setting of
in the right direction.
Thanks

I have a data entry form linked to a table that records daily catch details (date, invoice number, buyer, kilos, price, etc). For the last 2 years I've been using the no duplicate index on the date field of the table to prevent duplicates, until he (my husband) decided that he wanted to sell his catch to different buyers on the same date.
I've changed the index to allow duplicates but now I need to create a message box which warns that he is entering a duplicate date as he has a history of trying to enter the same info twice. I've found examples of code that warns on duplicate text entries but nothing for duplicate dates?

I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.

I would like to know how to display a msg box for missing or duplicate information when entering data into a form. My database keeps track of call accounting codes and the code is the primary key index field. I use macro's for all of my automated tasks such as finding codes, filtering for available codes and such. What I want to do is to display a simple message when adding a new one to the database if they forgot to enter the code and if they did enter a code if they entered a duplicate. The default error meesage tells them there is a problem but they won't know how to fix it. I know I should use the Before Update and After Update but I am not good at writing the vb code. I found some code in one of the the threads and copied it and changed the field names but it failed. I need a simple message like "You did not enter the Fac code" and "The Fac code you entered is already in the database please check your information."
The field name of my primary key is "Fac"
Thanks in advance for anyone that could help me with this.

I do have a DB that takes some data from Stripes and imports them into access. Since this will be a multi user DB I want to make a warning form.
Basically a user will do the download, I want a form or a pop up message that will show to the next user that will open the DB while the download process is ongoing, to see that the download data process is still ongoing, That he needs to wait until the data download has finished.

I have a table which holds information relating to a fleet of vehicles; each of these vehicles is currently physically checked on a daily basis for a number of items, one of which being to check that the vehicle has valid VED (tax disc).
With the paper disc being abolished now, we have a situation where the individual using the vehicle cannot be certain about its VED status (the chances of one not being taxed is next to nil, but we are talking a fleet of nearly 1000 vehicles here, so anything is possible)
Our current database has most of the vehicle information stored already, so in theory I think I only need to add a couple of fields, which will make the table structure (roughly):
FleetID
RegistrationNumber
CallSign
MobileTelNo
MOTExpiry
VEDExpiry
With the latter two being the added fields.
Now, what I was wondering.....
Is it possible that when a Form (not related to the table, and most likely the main switchboard form) is opened that both the MOTExpiry and VEDExpiry dates are checked, and if either or both of them are due to expire within 7 days or have already expired that a warning appears (vbaOKOnly messagebox would do fine) stating that there are vehicles that require their MOT & VED dates to be checked and updated accordingly)?

I have a "Search" form that I am using to search through a query in a list box of all of my Customers. Once the record that I am wanting to view comes up I highlight it and click a "View" button to bring up another form with the customers full record. When this form is open I am able to update the customer information and add User's to it if necessary.
My problem comes after I click on my save and close button that takes me back to me search form. I want to close the search form and the error I get is "The record cannot be deleted or changed because table "tblUserProfile" includes related records." I click OK and get a SECOND error stating "You can't save this record at this time. MS Access may have encountered an error while trying to save a record. If you close this object now, the data changes you made will be lost. Do you want to close the database object anyway?"
I have already made my changes and saved them in the form with the customer record so am not sure why I am getting an error when trying to close the Search form.

Hi All
I am looking for a method to shift a small pop-up window around on the screen. I want to avoid the overlap with the help function, which is an external program.
I already tried this code in the form:
Me.Left = Screen.Width / 2.5
But a form does not seem to have the property .Left or .Top.
Does anyone have the solution?

I have a form that is too big to view on one screen without scrolling down, is it possible to shrink it so that I can view it all, similar to the facility in Exel? I have tried the Scale & Resize MDE solution that is suggested in the threads but this only resizes your original to fit other screen resolutions - neat idea but it is not what I want as it still shows the original form nut pro-rata to the screen size.
I am not distributing the app so anything I do local to my machine to get it to work is fine.

Hi All,
I have a macro which runs from a form. The macro just opens up a subform. The problem is that the subform gets opened up in a new window. I have changed the property to modal, but this then still opens up the subform in a dialogue box.
Basically I want to be able to view both the form (top half of the screen) and the subform (bottom half of the screen) on the same screen.
Thanks,
Evan

I have a form and I have created an event procedure on the "before update" property of the form. My procedure is:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim pwd As String
pwd = InputBox("Is the information you entered correct?")
If pwd <> "yes" Then
MsgBox "Record Not Saved"
Me.Undo
Else
MsgBox "Record Saved"
End If
End Sub
the record is not saving under any situation. What do I have wrong?

I have set the size of the form but everytime i open it it doesnt cover the screen as it does not start from the top left corner!
i also have a few pop up forms which i want them to appear in the middle of screen. how can i do this?!!!

Apologies if I am covering old ground here but unfortunately I cannot find a suitable solution after searching the forum.
Basically my switchboard on Open includes DoCmd.Maximize so that the switchboard does indeed open on full screen. However, say I then leave my database open and work on a different application on my PC then when I click on my database on the taskbar then the form is not longer full screen.
So what I am basically asking is, is there a way of 'locking' it to appear full screen even if I flick between applications on my PC?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul.
