Is there anyway to have a subroutine be called when a form is brought up? meaning, as soon as the user opens the form, stuff happens without them doing anything besides opening the form.
View RepliesHi all.
I have a form that opens up another form when you click on a button. The button does more than just open the form, it does other checks. I want to wait until the opened form is closed to continue with the subroutine. Is this even possible in VBA? I was wondering if there was a frmFormName.IsOpen or some kind of flag that would tell me if a form is open or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sub open
Checks things
Checks things
checks things
Opens form(frmDetails)
Wait for form to close (THING I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IF POSSIBLE)
Checks things
Checks things
end sub
I want to call a selfdefined subroutine "update()" in several reports. But whenever I try this, Access gives me an Error 2465. The Report is selected dynamically by the user and should adapt itself to other settings made by the user. Can anybody help me how to do this? Thanks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a database which needs to be updated everyday. So I decided to make a subroutine to perform the update steps just by clicking on a button.
The problem is that I can run all the steps except one! At the end of the steps, there is a function/module that must be run to calculate and complete the job.
How I can run a function in a vba macro. This is my code:
Private Sub cmdUpdateDatabase_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry1AddNewStockSymbols"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry2AddDailyPrice"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry3UpdateStockDailyPrice"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry4AddOverallStockValue"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry5AllSymbolsActiveDaysTractions"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry6SortToCalculateDailyRemainedStock"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub
Module name is: CalculateDailyRemainedStock
I'm trying to run an sql update query (in VBA) to update values in a table, from calculated field values in a subform (using a query as a record source).
Is this possible , and if so, can I call the subroutine from the parent form, and what would be the correct syntax for the VBA sql string (i'm guessing it would be a docmd.runSQL sqlstringname )??
Imagine I have two subrountines:
Code:
Private Sub DoSomething1()
[Do Something]
End Sub
Private Sub DoSomething2()
[Do Something]
End Sub
And this Declaration:
Code:
Dim str As String
str = 1
Is it possible to refer to/call one of these subroutines using something like this:
Code:
("DoSomething" & str)
Sometimes I find the 'need' to exit a subroutine from within a control 'loop' e.g. if.. then..else with... while... et al.
I suspect this is 'bad form' but is there any 'cost' in doing this?
There presumably will be if objects have been set and are not reset to Nothing. In this case it presumably is not a problem resetting to Nothing outside a With.. - what about inside a with..??
I am trying to call a subroutine from a VBA routine to append a record to an existing table. Below is the code for opening my recordsets for reading followed by the code creating my table to append to:
Public Sub UpdateLotsizes()
Dim curDatabase As DAO.Database
Dim ProdPlanDB As DAO.Database
Dim rstQryLot As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstInvLoc As DAO.Recordset
Set curDatabase = CurrentDb
[Code] ....
To call my subroutine, I simply put in the code:
ExceptionReportAddRecord
And this is the code of the subroutine:
Public Sub ExceptionReportAddRecord()
Dim rstExcRpt As Recordset
Set rstExcRpt = curDatabase.OpenRecordset("tblExceptionReport")
With rstExcRpt
.AddNew
.Fields("item_no").Value = txtItemNumber
[Code] .....
I am receiving "Run-time error 434: Object required" at the line I marked with ...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've searched the forums for quite a while now and haven't exactly found the answer I'm looking for, so I appologize if it's already been covered elsewhere.
I have a tough situation to explain, but I'll do my best:
I have a query that has several fields that are calculated by adding or multiplying other fields in the same query - a few of which are parameters. I have made the parameters the "right way" by going to the query menu and selecting Parameters... and filling in the neccessary Parameters and Data Types instead of creating a new field in the query and putting my parameter info in that way.
So, long story short. I want to have a form where the user can enter in the parameters, select a value for a field from a drop down box, hit a "go" button and a report will be generated listing info from that query.
How do I go about entering parameters through a form and how do I put in a drop down box that will list all of the values available for a field in the query?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
Hope someone can help with this one - I have searched the Forum and cannot find any reference to this problem. I have a form which was originally based on a query linking 2 tables - data entry into the form worked fine. I then needed to add another field to the form from another table so I added the 3 table to my query, linked the table and then added the required field to my form and now the form will not allow me to enter or change data in any of the fields. I have checked relationships and they all seem to be OK. I have also tried creating a new query based on the original query and added the new table to that in case there was an issue with the first join, added my new table to this query and then based the form on this new query but the problem stills persists. Is there a limit to how many tables/queries a form can be linked to? Any help would be appresicated.
Cheers,
Bill

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want the user to be able to pick from a list the criteria that they can put in when prompted by a query.
At the moment, when you run the query, I have it set up so it prompts for the criteria: [Enter Section:] - so the user has to type in the section.
I want them to be able to pick the section from a drop down list.
I remember vaguely having to set up a form to do this....???
Thanks!

Hi
I want a filtered pop up form to accept new records.
The archive posting that I found suggested that I insert
[MyForm]![LinkedField] as the default value of the linked field.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Hi all
I am doing my internship now and am new to vba and excel. I need help with the following.
I need to create a form which allows the user to enter records into a table.
The fields for this table is [product type], [Reasons] and [Breaks]. However for each [product type] there is a specific list of [reasons] and [breaks]. I need to reflect this onto the form using drop down lists or list box. That is if the user selects [product 1], the associated [reasons] and [breaks] will populate the other 2 list box. And then the user will click the update button to insert a new record into the table.
Can somebody help me out here? Thanks so much in advance.
Regards
Dominic
Hello,
I am making a database and I am currently doing my forms. I have been using wizards and so far everything I have wanted to be able to do has been achievable, except for where I am now! I am making a 'purchases' form. What I want to be able to do is make multiple purchases in the one form. Let me try and give you an example to further explain myself.
Lets say Mr John Smith wants to purchase 1 black pen, 1 30cm ruler, 2 rubbers and a compass.
I want it so that rather than have to add each one of the purchases one by one, I want to be able to add them all in the same time and be able to go back to my purchases table and see:
Mr John Smith - 1 black pen
Mr John Smith - 1 30cm Ruler
Mr John Smith - 3 rubbers
etc
Hopefully you understand what I mean?
Can anyone assist me?
Most appreciated!

I was able to enter data into my form but I made a few design tweaks and added another table into the form and now, in form view, I''m unable to enter data into any field.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a main form with a sub form.

Hello.
I am new to Access. (2003)
I have a make couple of Forms and couple of tables.
My problem is how to I connect the form to the table, so it will store entered data from the form to the table.
There are about 2-4 places where the user can enter data into the Form and it should be stored to a table.
I made 5 forms and 5 tables, where the user fills out the first form and clicks next and next form opens and so on.
If possibly I would like to skip all the coding that can be used.
I have a search form from which the user can search by multiple criteria.
Currently users run the search by pressing a button on the form with the mouse, the keyboard enter button just tabs around the form.
My question is can I get the enter button to run the search rather than tab around the form?
If so how?
Thanks.
Larry.
