Environ Function In A97
Mar 10, 2005
i have a menu which recognises a user by using the environ function.
the problem i am getting is that with a small number of users the environ function isnt recognised by the system?
it gives them a #name# instead.
the crazy thing is that it also happens on simpler functions such as =Now() and =Date() which is really annoying, as these 3 things are a foundation on anything that is done within the system/!
the majority of users have no problems, which makes it even more annoying!
when i try to go into the properties of the label which has been assigned the function i get a message. (only on affected PC's)
see attached for pic
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. HELP IS REALLY APPRECIATED!

I was given this piece of code the other day by somebody on the forum and it works really well. My question is:
Is there a way, using a similar function that I can retrive the IP address?
Environ("ComputerName")

Hello,
I use Environ("Username") all the time, most frequently for logging who has done something to a record, and have once used it to log people into the database (very basic, much the same as logging who did what to records).
But I was wondering, how feasible is it as a security measure?
I often use it on the main menu of my DBs to give me a different menu (with more advanced options on) than other users.
Is it really that safe to use it as a means to allow people in, or stopping them? I know that obviously you have to stop them getting in other ways (holding shift for example), but assuming all of that is done, in theory, they should only be able to get in if they can log in as an authorised user?
Don't know why it is just struck me - just curious I suppose!

Hi everyone
I have searched for help on this forum and all over for a while but cannot find the help i need.
I have a database stored in my user area on a schools network. Other users around the school access the database by clicking on a shortcut to it found on their start menu. The database is not split with a fe/be and usernames and passwords are not required to log on, they simply click the link.
I would like to know how I can find out which users have the database open at any given time? I have a piece of software that tells me the computer name but that is no use, I need the users name. Is there a way of pulling this from the network because each user must first log on to their computer using their name and password before they can access the database?
Any suggestions appreciated
James

I have written a code in VBA to get username. The code is strUserName = Environ("Username")
This doesn't seem to work in some computers. Any idea why?

Using Win 7 and Access 2007
db will be split and on a server
If it's possible: Would like to use the Environ username somewhere in the db so the user only sees their records.
Where would I place this? Or is their different code I should be using for this purpose???

How do I use the following as the default value of a textbox in Access2003?
Environ$("USERNAME")
Resolution:
Create Module and insert the following code:
Option Compare Database
Private Declare Function apiGetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function fOSUserName() As String
On Error GoTo fOSUserName_Err
Dim lngLen As Long, lngX As Long
Dim strUserName As String
strUserName = String$(254, 0)
lngLen = 255
lngX = apiGetUserName(strUserName, lngLen)
If lngX <> 0 Then
fOSUserName = Left$(strUserName, lngLen - 1)
Else
fOSUserName = ""
End If
fOSUserName_Exit:
Exit Function
fOSUserName_Err:
MsgBox Error$

I have noted a problem on 2 computers using this. There are around 30 or so computers on our network that work fine with this as a value. The majority of the users are at Access 2000 but some have Access XP. The offending machines have Access 2000
One day a persons computer crashed. DP imaged another persons machine and installed the image on the crashed machine as a solution. Since this the =Environ("username") returned #Name$ (not sure of the exact syntax on this). This same trouble surfaced on another machine recently. I unlocked the field so the users could enter their correct name but this can lead to errors and I would like to keep the username locked and read by code.
I checked the references on the offending machine and they were ok. Not sure what else there is to do to rectify this.
If anyone else has had a similar trouble and found the solution I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks a lot!!
-----------------------------
Edit:
I just checked the machine and corrected the syntax above. I also found that in a date search form where I have =now$() for a field, the same thing is displayed - #Name$ rather than the date.

So basically I need making a function that will count the number of records from another table/query based on a field from the current query.

I have a project at hand and it's been a predecessor of mine and client has asked me to do some work on it and extend functionality - but I have not really delved into Access before and I have had to worked my way through to this final snag :/
The Main Form has one sub form. This sub form allows the user to add multiple order items i.e. qty, stock, description from records within the system - fairly straight forward.At the last column of each row is the sub total of those particular items i.e.
Qty Unit | Item ID | Total
-----------------------
2 | 1234 | 80.00
------------------------
1 | 43526 | 20.00
------------------------
> | |
So the total is a function of =[Qty Unit] * [Unit Price].Then in the Footer of this SubForm is the Sub Total
=SUM([Qty Unit] * [Unit Price])
All fine and well..... However, the additional functionality kicks in.
Lets add the additional customer_id from the Main Form. Each Item bought is dependent on the customer_id i.e. they get special prices depending on who they are.So a New table is made which has the Item ID and SpecialPriceID (of a table to define as a specialPrice) and the Price linked to this Item and Special Price category. So say that there are two groups of users "wholesale" and "nonwholesale" these would be SP_1 and SP_2 and each client is defined either one of these, and each stock item has a Price for each SP_1 and SP_2. Hopefully I've explained myself there.
Back to the SubForm. So now the Total needs to calculated differently with needed the external customer_id from the Main Form.
Code:
Function CalculateSpecialPrice(ItemID As String, CustomerID As String, Unit As Integer)
Dim SPSelect As String
SPSelect = "SELECT Price FROM [Items_SpecialPrices] WHERE"
SPSelect = SPSelect & " ItemID = '" & ItemID
SPSelect = SPSelect & "' AND SpecialPriceID = (SELECT SpecialPriceID FROM Customers WHERE customer_id = " & CustomerID & ") "
[code]....
its the sub total I just keep on getting #Error on. I have even watched (using alerts) that the correct return variable is the same as the individual rows. This is the equation I used for the SubTotal within the footer.
=SUM(CalculateSpecialPrice([Item ID], [Form]![FormName]![CustomerID], [Qty Unit]))
#Error

Hi all,
I need a little help. In my DB, I have a command button set up (I was tired of typing in dates) for date, but I used the Now function, which also gives me the time.
Now I have over 3000 subrecords of the main ones. I now need to queries transaction for that specific date, but it also retrieves the time.
I tried to go back and change the NOW to DATE in VB, but the code does not run.
How do I change all records that have date and time (using NOW function) and only click that command button to show only the date (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any function that can convert either a True, False, "Yes", "No" or Null value.... to a yes/no (check box) data type?
What I want to do is create a make table query. I would like to add a checkbox field from the query. So if there was a function that could convert a data type to a Yes/No checkbox, this would be very helpful...
To give you and idea of what I'm talking about...and how I want to use this... If I am making a table from a query and I want to add a number field, but leave it empty for the time being, what I can do is make a new field in the query maybe call it "Number1". What I would do is Add this as a field in my make table query:
Number1: Cint("")
This will add a blank field that is formatted as a number field when I run the make table query.
So using the same logic, I'd like to make a blank (or unchecked) Yes/No check box field when I run my make table query.
Anyway...that's what I'm hoping for.... I hope someone can help!

I'm having a problem getting a form to open. I'm using access 97 on on XP machine and whan I open my database I get Function isn't available in expressions in query expression '[Case Types]![theName]&"-"&Format([SourceDocs]![CaseNumber]&"","00")&"-"&Format([SourceDocs]![CaseYear]&"","00")'.
This database works fine on a Windows 2000 machine running Access 97 but none of the XP machines will open it.
Any suggestions?

I have a database in which I am designing a report which includes a name/address block. I am surprised to find that the report does not recognise the Chr() function in the text box control source string "=[Organisation] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Address]..."; designed to insert a CRLF between the contents of the named fields.
I know the syntax is correct because I've checked by using the expression builder to replicate the code. (Expression builder includes the Chr() function, as expected.)
The interesting thing is that the function is recognised in other databases used on the same machine, both those created remotely and locally.
Anyone know what could be going wrong?

I am using a crosstab query to gather info from a table. I am using the Format [DateAppt], "mmm". The query ran successfully before but I now get the error "Function is not abailable in expression in query expression 'Format ([DateAppt], "mmm")'. This is used for column headings in a report that gives results by month.
I am using Microsft Office 2000 Premium with XP Professional operating system.
I used the original disk to repair Office thinking that the function was missing from the function library but to no avail.
Does anyone know how to restore this function?
Thank you,
Jack

Just wonder if anyone could give me some help on an IIF function used in my query:
I have a table which has numerous “W” codes, the charging for an order does not occur if it has a W12 or a W14 code and has no “[Authorising Name]” BUT does however charge if the weight of the order is over 100kg
IIf([WCode]="W12" Or [WCode]="W14",IIf([Authorising Name]="",0,[charge], IFF ([weight]>99,[charge],0)))
I can get this working for a single W code but not for the 2 OR I can get it working for both Codes but then the weight side doesn’t.
I have tried all combinations of <> = < etc etc but still no luck., I think I need another OR but no matter where I put it I hit problems either with the function or the result.
Another small issue, my [authorising Name] field can appear to be empty, but in the field are spaces what is the best way for ensuring I capture both empty and theses space records ?
Thanks in advance

Hi
i need help using the "IF" function i think.
Basically i have 2 "columns"
A B
aaa
aaa
aaa aaa
Basically if i have say Column A that has some fields filled in and Column B with other fields filled in. I want to Populate a column C with either the stuff in A or B.
So If Column A is blank and Column B is blank, then i want Column C to stay blank.
If Column A is populated and Column B is blank, then i want Column C to be populated with what column A has.
If Column A is blank and B is populated, then i want Column C to be populated with what Column B has.
Thanks in Advance

Can some please tell me if there is an equivalent of the excel LN() function in access.
I have tried to find it all over the web and beyond and cannot
:(
I dont mind if there is a long winded work around for this function.
I am using it in a query and it shows unrecognised function
but for some reason shows in the access help as below :confused:
LN
Returns the natural logarithm of a number.
Syntax
LN(number)
Number is the positive real number whose natural logarithm you want.
Thanks for your help

I have parts table in Access where a part id is automatically assigned to each part number. I am trying to get the last part number entered in the parts table by querying on the max part id. The max part id will always be the last part number entered in the table. I don’t want to display the part id though; I only want to display the part number associated with that max part id. This is what I have been playing with.
"select part_no, (max)part_id as part from tblPartsSignOut "
Can someone give me some insight on how to structure this query the correct way?
Thanks
