Error When Adding Command Button
Jan 28, 2006
I am a neophyte Access 2003 user attempting to build a new Form (all about Lynyrd Skynyrd but that is for discussion in a different forum)
When I attempt to add a Command Button to a Form in Design view, I get stepped through the wizard and all seems to be going well to enable me to add an “Add a New Record” button.
But at the end I get an error message that says “Application Defined or Object Defined Error.” What do I do next?
Thanks for your help, Southern Rock is depending on it.

i am trying to add an import command button to a form so that personnel not familiar with Access can simply push the button and then select the file to import. I want it to import information to a specific table by replacing all records in the current table with the import. I am not the best at coding, but I can understand enough to figure out what I may need to do.
I will be exporting a table to excel from the database. Multiple people will have this database and often times will not be able to access a shared database, so I need to export the table and then set up a way for them to import the excel document into their database by deleting the information in the old one and then updating to the new one.

I have a command button that basically saves the record that i just finished entering. here's the code:
Private Sub cmdAddAnother_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdAddAnother_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70
Exit_cmdAddAnother_Click:
[Code] ....
What I'd like to do now is add a second function that will make all the controls on the form go to null after the record is saved. so the user can start from scratch and add another record.
I tried adding me.refresh right before "end sub" but that didnt work.
I tried adding "me.controlname.value = null" for every control on the form, and that didnt work either.
I also tried adding this code that i found on bytes.com:
On Error Resume Next
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
ctl.Value = Null
Next
That didn't work either.

I have created command buttons to enter event registration information after biographical information has been completed. When I click on the button I get the following error message:
"Microsoft Office Access cannot find the field '|' referred to in your expression."
This is the On Click code that I have in there. Can anyone spot the error of my ways?
Private Sub RegisterButton_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_RegisterButton_Click
If IsNull(Me![AttendeeID]) Then
MsgBox "Enter attendee information before registering for an event."
Else
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.OpenForm "Registration", , , "[Registration]![RegistrationID]=Forms![Attendees]![Attendees Subform].form![RegistrationID]"
End If
Exit_RegisterButton_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_RegisterButton_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_RegisterButton_Click
End Sub
Thanks!

I am currently creating a form which includes a command button to update a field in a table to show Today's Date, at the time of running a query I am still yet to write.
I have the following code for my Command Button, which is returning the Runtime Error 3464 (Data type mismatch in Criteria Expression):
Private Sub cmdAddTodaysDate_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute (" UPDATE tblMyTable SET TodaysDate = " & Date & " WHERE tblMyTable.ProductCode = " & Me.txtProductCode)
End Sub
The query above seems to be having issues matching the text from the 'txtProductCode' textbox to the table field 'ProductCode'.

I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .

I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...

Hi, I have got a small problem and maybe someone could advise me.
I am creating a customised command button from a label button. The new button works fine but I can't apply the 'requery' function to it, if i do an error occures and i am being prompt to save the data first???? :confused: :
Private Sub Labelsearch_Click()
Me!itemquery.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 2
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 10092543
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = True
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 255
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End Sub
Private Sub Labelsearch_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Come back to initial state when button release'
Me.Labelsearch.SpecialEffect = 1
Me.Labelsearch.BackColor = 16373685
Me.Labelsearch.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.Labelsearch.FontItalic = False
Me.Labelsearch.FontBold = True
End
If I create a command button with the wizard and assign the code :
me!itemquery.Requeryto the on_click event my form is working fine.
Why is his code is not working if I assign it to a label? :o

Id
Name
Address
City
State
I have a mainform with just two fields (Name and State)
and then a subform, I want to be able to enter students name or state on a field in my mainform and click on FindStudent, and it displays the record on my subform.
I also want to have a AddNew record button on my main form, and when it's clicked, i will be able to enter data into the underlying table using my subform.
How do i achieve this?
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks :) :)

I have been working on this for awhile, and can't figure it out for the life of me!
I have a form set up with a drop down box that lets me pick from values from a table based off of the Primary Key of that table (Row Source = SELECT Order.OrderID, Order.OrderName from Order). I have a button on the form that I want to set a value (Closed) from the table entry based off of the order selected.
Pseudo code would go something like this.
Closed.Value = True Where Table.Order.OrderID = SelectedOrderID
Table.Order is a Table Named Order (obviously)
Closed is a yes/no field in my Order table
OrderID is the primarykey of the table Order
SelectedOrderID is the drop down box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I, unfortunately, have been singled out as the Access guru in my work area. We have 223 people and the Information Manager has tasked me to modify a database he "found" to be able to track a number of things, but most important to him: performance reports.
I have posted the sample of what I currently have. What is being asked of me is a way in which to have a button or by double-clicking a block where a date would go for all other dates on the form to become non-visible while the current date stored in the computer the database is being worked from be entered in the block where the button or double-click happened. All this links to a report for the IM to be able to track what performace reports are out, and when they are due back to his section. He also wants me to be able to show which are overdue and where they are at. I am not sure if it is at all possible, but with me having spend most of last week purusing the articles on Access here, I know now that nothing is implausible if you happen to go about it the right way.
Since I have read the rules on posting, here is what I have done. I searched the forum for command button and got a lot of really cool ideas to use elsewhere in the database. I looked up the help in the program itself for command button, and got some good information on how a command button works, but I cannot make it put a date into a block. I can enter the date in any block that is a date format, but then I have dates in every block. He only wants to see the most current date in any of the blocks.
Any assistance at this point would be appreciated. If I have missed something in another thread, I apologise in advance.

A couple of weeks ago I asked the question of how to send a single record from one table to another (Archive table) using a command button. I got a response. I have had time to work with this a little. My problem is I keep getting a error message "Run-time error '3075'; Syntax error (missing operator) in Query expression "[New ID]='. I wanted to mention that the archive table has an "archive ID" field as well as "New ID" that links the tables. I have the following code. Please help with this if possible.
" Private Sub Command667_Click()
' Save the main record if it has not been saved.
If Me.Dirty Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSave
Me.Recalc
End If
If MsgBox("Do you want to archive this record?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Dim SQL As String
' Move main record to Grants Activity Archive.
SQL = "Insert into [Grants Activity Archive]" & _
" select * from [Grants] where [New ID]=" '" & Me.ID & "'"
CurrentDb.Execute SQL
Me.Recalc
End If
End Sub "
The error seems to refer to the & Me.ID section. I have tried putting Me.New ID and also Me.Archive ID. The Grants Activity Archives is the subform where I want the record to go. This subform is set up like a form with many fields so it is a lot of work to type the main record from the Grants table to the Grants Activity Archive table every time you want to archive a record. I hope that makes sense.

Hi everyone,
This is perhaps a simple question for which I have not been able to find an answer to. I've been trying to create a form which contain command buttons, but the problem is that the look of these buttons are not similar to those found in Windows XP.
I know it’s purely cosmetic :cool: - but how do I make my buttons in Access 2003 to look like those on my Windows XP?
I've seen some samples here on these forums which have the 'XP' look. Any hints on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Sab.

Thanks in advance!

Question One
I want to create a command button in the form view that once pressed opens a folder that contains a photograph. I assume that I need to use a hyperink but how is it done?
Question Two
When in the form view and I press a 'Find ' button that I created I want to have a combo box/list box on the find. The alternative to this is that the reader has to remember all of the subjects. With a combo box/list box, or similar, the user can scroll down the list and pick and choose the subject to search for.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance on either question.
Cheers.

Hiya guys,
I have much help from this forum during my latest project, and all help has made me progress at a nice pace....So thanks guys.
The latest problems I have is to do with command buttons.
Really simple i`m sure, but could not find the answer in the search.
I have added a command button to search a refernec number field.
By Default, the search is set to "MATCH Whole Field"
Can I change this to default to "Match Any Part of Field" ???
I have looked in the code section, and cant see where this could be done... But i`m sure its just me not understanding what I`m looking at.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have inserted a Command Button in a Form to open another form.
It opens the nominated form but the previous form is still on screen in front of the nominated form.
I have named the Command Button "Next >" just like you see on many forms and I want it to save the information, close the current form and go to the nominated form when clicked.
How is this done?

I currently have a ordering database which i am using and runing fine.
The problem us I am using a tab control and command buttons with the products hard coded so for example the name of the product is the command caption and when a user clicks on the button it fills the subform product name with the commands button caption and the price is hard coded and the through vba inserted into the subforms price section an example of this would be ---
form_orderdetails.description =command1.caption
form_orderdetails.price = 1.50
The above is jus an example of what the code does in the command button
Now the problem is that i want to automate this so i can have a form called add/edit products for eg and i would like to say what tab control i would like the button to go what the button should be called (caption) and what price of the product....
