Evaluating String Value In A Command

Feb 3, 2008

I was not sure exactly how to word the title so that it made sense, but I have strDocName assigned a report name and would like to use the value of the string on the left hand side of an evaluation. In the example below (which changes the caption of a report depending on the week) where stDocName appears in the "Reports!stDocName.Caption = ", I wish to actually use the value stored in the string. Does that make sense? This is what I have:

Code:stDocName = "rptTopScores" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewDesign, , , acHiddenReports!stDocName.Caption = Forms!frmDoStuff!LeagueName & " - Match " & Forms!frmDoStuff!txtWeekNum & " - Media Report"DoCmd.Close acReport, stDocName, acSaveYes DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
This is what I want it to evaluate as:

Code:stDocName = "rptTopScores" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewDesign, , , acHiddenReports!rptTopScores.Caption = Forms!frmDoStuff!LeagueName & " - Match " & Forms!frmDoStuff!txtWeekNum & " - Media Report"DoCmd.Close acReport, stDocName, acSaveYes DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
And yes I know I could just use the second code segment, but then I wouldn't be able to use the code snippet without remembering to edit it. I've spent a couple hours trying to find the correct method to no avail. Any assistance out there?

Evaluating Command Line

May 30, 2007

Guys, any idea how to evaluate the command line options used when an Access application is started from a command line.
For example I use the following command line: C:..MyDatabase.mdb /parameters:110001110
Then, in VB, I evaluate the string "110001110" and do the further job.
Is there any property or function to return the command line option string?
Thanks

Executing An Update Command With “'” In The String

Nov 3, 2006

Hi,
I try to execute an update command i.e.:
UPDATE Results set Data = 'Heiner's key' where ValidationNumber = 1 and TestNumber = 2 and Line = 'E1'.
Access does not let me do this because the “'” in Heiner's terminates the update string prematurely.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to do this? Thank you.

Need Help Evaluating My Database...

Mar 9, 2005

I am trying to create an Access 2003 database that contains several types of demographic information about the employees in my organization (40+ employees). I have created a database framework, but I feel as if I am not doing things as efficiently as I could be. I was wondering if anybody could look at my database and let me know if they notice anything in my tables or fields that could be better/fixed. I would appreciate it so much.

I have attached the database in a .zip file to this post (it wouldn't allow me to attach it as an .mdb file, so I zipped it).

Thanks so much. Feel free to reply via this thread or email me with any comments/help you can give me. Thanks so much again!

There May Have Been An Error Evaluating The Function

Nov 27, 2006

Hello,

Hello I keep getting the error after I copied a form
and saved under a different Name
++++++++++++++++++++
A problem occured while Microsoft Access was communicating with OLE Server
or ActiveX control.

There may have been an error evaluating the function , event or Macro

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Strangely, I keep getting this error when loading
and clicking on a control in the ORIGINAL form
while the copy seems to work without errors.

I have deleted some tex box controls from the first
form and added a few new ones in the copy.

I have tried a copy of the database by deleting the
New form, but still get the same error.

I have run DEBUG on both form codes and
everything seems fine.

I have checked the refrences and find none missing.

Is there any way to resolve this issue. Or am I doing
something fundamentally wrong by copying
and modifying the form ?

I have attached the file with the two forms

Evaluating Textbox For Null Values

Jan 31, 2005

I am having problems getting Access to evaluate whether a textbox is empty using VBA behind my form. I'm currently using Access 2000 on a Windows98 machine, but I also tested this in Access 2003 on an XP machine and got identical results.

The way I’d like the code to operate is if the “Product1” field is empty, the value taken from another form would be pasted there, and if it isn’t empty, go to the “Product2” field and if that field is empty, paste it there, otherwise go to the “Product3” field, etc.

I have tried using If IsNull(“Product1”) Then… but Access seems to think that the unbound textbox with no default value isn’t empty.

I tried using If ("Product1" <> "*") Then… but Access again seems to think that there is something in that unbound/no-default value textbox.

My code looks like this:
If ("Product1" <> "*") Then
DoCmd.GoToControl "Product1"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste
DoCmd.OpenForm "ActiveProduct", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.GoToControl "Description"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
DoCmd.OpenForm "Order Form", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.GoToControl "ProdDescr1"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste
DoCmd.Close acForm, "ActiveProduct", acSaveNo
DoCmd.GoToControl "ProdQty1"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Product Lookup form", acSaveNo

ElseIf ("Product2" <> "*") Then
DoCmd.GoToControl "Product2"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste …

End If

I admit that my VBA skills are limited, but after having scoured these forums as well as Access help and examining the logic of my code, I am completely stumped. Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Evaluating Multiple Frames To Set Label Back Color

Jun 19, 2014

Code:
'Pacer frame set to proper background
If Me.FrmPacer.Value = 1 Then
Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbGreen
ElseIf Me.FrmPacer.Value = 2 Then
Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbYellow
ElseIf Me.FrmPacer.Value = 3 Then
Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbRed

[code]...

I have multiple frames on one subform that when selected sets a unassociated labels back color. Then when cancelled by undo code the back color stays on the color that it was changed to on afterupdate event from the frame with option controls. I would like to loop thru but could not come up with the proper method if it is even possible.the above code works after refreshed, but just wondering if there is a shorter or more efficient method.

Queries :: Evaluating Current Record To Previous Record To Get Counts

Aug 8, 2014

I'm struggling with a query to evaluate current and prior record data. I have a query producing 5000 records. I need to group records by Case ID and compare current date record to previous date record to determine if a team and worker name has changed during the year. I need to count how many times a cases is transferred to and out of a particular team from the beggining of the year. i.e., On 1/1/2014-Team1 has an inventory of 500 cases.

During the month 25 cases are transferred into Team1 and 15 cases are transferred out of Team1. So on 2/1/2014 Team1 begins with an inventory of 510 cases. Throughout the year cases come and go from and to Team1 each month so need to figure out how to create a query to count each change. See attachment displaying how the data is listed and how I invision it to work with the In/out column counts.

Specifically, at the begginig of the year (1/1/14) for case ID 1003 you can see it belongs to Mary in Team1 for January and February. Then in March the case is transferred out and went to Joe in Team 3. So for Mary a "-1" is recorded as a negative count for that Case ID. If later in the year the case is transferred back to Mary a "+1" would be recorded. Respectively evaluated for each of the 5000 records to get a total count for each of the teams by Case ID throughout the year.

I've started with DLookup, tried comparing current month to previous month using DMax. It works as long as I only select one case ID used in a separate query but if I use the whole subset (5000 records) it fails. I can't figure out how to group each set of case IDs and then apply the query.

My attempted query: DLookUp("[Team]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date]=#" & CStr(DMax("[Date]","[Team_qry]","[Team_qry]![Date] <#" & CStr([Date]) & "#")) & "#")

I have a fax number field iwhich has a mask. +(000)-00-000-000 in a table of many records.
The problem is that every record has a number in the first part of country code +(001)which must have come there by mistakes, few records have complete and true fax numbers.

I need a query that can Update this Fax_Number field where the length of the string is less than 7 digits.
Some thing like UPDATE Contacts SET Contacts.Fax_Number = ""
WHERE ((Len("Fax_Number")>"6"));

How can i do this. Thanks.

How To Split Up This String

Sep 15, 2005

I have a string:

Cars > Car Import > Car Import: Car Import

The first section is the Category, the second is the Product, the third is the SubProduct and the fourth is the keyword.

What is the best way to split each of these words into its own variable? I think I can do the first and end one but not the Car Import and Car Import one.

Thanks,

Dave

Need Help With String Formatting

Dec 15, 2005

Hey everyone, I need some help with formatting a string for use with the DoCmd.RunSQL() method. I can't figure out how the hell VB deals with escape characters for the purpse of variables inside strings. I have this line right now.

strSQL = "INSERT INTO OS (OS) VALUES(" + OS.Value + ")"


This is supposed to insert one row into the "OS" Table, in the "OS" field. In my form there is a textbox called "OS" and I'm trying to insert that value into the DB table.

Two things.
1) Yes, I know, I have a lot of things named "OS"
2) Yes, I know I don't need to use a string here, but I'm just presenting this is an abbreviated example, in my full program I do in fact need a string.
