I need to trigger an event for when a text box is updated.
However, I cantuse on_update() because the text box is updated by dlookup (and on some of my other ones by vb code), and on_update() only works when the user physically enters a value.
Which event should I use. If there isnt one, is there a work around?
The image below describes the scope of the issue.
The function is called upon in the onLoad event of frmMain.
Hi – I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to this or has had the same thing happen to them in the past…
On one of my forms, I'm using DLookups to fill the controls,
eg.=DLookUp("[PartDescription]","[Parts]","[ItemID] = " & Nz(Forms!ItemHistory!ItemID,0))
This example shows the Part Description for the Item ID in question, with the ItemID being the record source of the form.
Nb. I’m using Lookups since these show info taken from another table to what the main form is based on. I've been advised to keep the main form non-complex so the subform will reference correctly.
This arrangement works fine, except for when the main form changes the record that it displays. In this situation, although the ItemID changes, what the DLookup displays remains the same. I've tried pressing F9 to refresh the lookup, but to no avail.
I was under the impression that the DLookup would automatically update with ItemID – which would seem the logical thing to happen - to me at least. However, I can't figure out why it isn't updating, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, if it won't update, are there any alternative ways of going about it (apart from using bound controls)?
Thanks very much in advance,
Tim
I have a new Customer Form(Profile) and I have the same customer data in another Table(Contacts).
I create a Dlookup... the system pull the data correctly from my Combobox but when I try to close the form, the system display a error like: The first name is empty...
I think the Dlookup need something to update the new table.
This's my actual Dlookup...
=DLookUp("[Last Name]","Contacts","[Combo378]='" & [Forms]![PROFILE]![Combo378] & "'")
Hi,
In Form of the MS Access.
How can I make the form cannot close if the field is Null when I click the close button?
frm1:
Field Name: Date, Id, Name
The 3 field names are required to input.
Before Update Event:
if (isnull(date)) then
date.setforce
end if
if (isnull(id)) then
id.setforce
end if
if (isnull(name)) then
name.setforce
end if
It works well when I go to next record (suppose I miss one field)
However, It doesn't work when I click the close button, the form is closed.
I want the form cannot close until fill out all fields. It cannot go to the missing fields.
I have a question, when I click close button, Must the form be closed even though I set up the field to be "setforce"?
Thanks.
I have a Product(Table) and a Quotation(Table) linked with one to many Relation.A Query based on these Tables
and a Quotation(Form) which I use a ComboBox(ARTNO) which i have an event at AfterUpdate.The aim is to
every time I choose a Product from the ComboBox(ARTNO) automatically to display the Box(PRICE) of the Product.
Here is the AfterUptade Code:
Private Sub ARTNO_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_ARTNO_AfterUpdate
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "ARTNO = " & Me!ARTNO
' Look up product's PRICE and assign it to PRICE control.
Me!PRICE = DLookup("PRICE", "PRODUCTS", strFilter)
Exit_ARTNO_AfterUpdate:
Exit Sub
Err_ARTNO_AfterUpdate:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_ARTNO_AfterUpdate
End Sub
The problem is that in the Box(PRICE) i have always the same price, in any product selection.
Does anybody knows why?Please help
Hello All,
I have a question.
Can I have in Access 2000, in the After update event a code like this:
DoCmd.RunSQL ("Update Table1" & _
"SET [Table1].Field1 = (SELECT DISTINCT [Table2].[Field1] FROM [Table2] " & _
"WHERE [Table2].[Field22]= "& Me.textbox & " And (Left(Field1,5)= "00000" ")")
?
I have 2 tables. Based on what the user enter in "Textbox" I want to query Table 2 (with conditions) and to update Table 1 with the value I found in the Select statement. (Table 1.field1 = table 2.field1)
Thank you.
I have a nested DLookup in a SQL UPDATE that is not working. The DLookup has an "AND" in the WHERE Statement as well. I cannot figure out the problem. I got a type mismatch with this code and when I take out the single quotes I do not get an error message but the data is not updated in the table.
Code:
SQLstock1 = "UPDATE TBL_STOCK SET Stock = '" & DLookup("RemainingQty", "QRY_STOCK", "ActionEntity = '" & Me.cmb_customer1 & "'" And "StockType = '" & Me.cmb_stock_type1 & "'") & "' WHERE StockEntity = '" & Me.cmb_customer1 & "'"

I need an event for when a text box is updated. Not by the user typing into it, but when VB code or something like Dsum() changes its value automatically.
What event can I use? Does one exist for this?
Hi
I have form with a series of text boxes in which users can edit the data that is populated in them. For one of the text boxes I want to add an after update event, so that if the user changes the value in the text box, a message window appears telling them to click on the submit button at the bottom of the form.
Does anyone know the code that I should use to make this message appear when the value in the text box is changed?
Thanks to S.baxter I have used some code to loop through a recordset and select each record in turn in a form that uses the recordset as the Rowsource of a combo box. However, there is an After_Update event attached to the combo box which is not being triggered.
MS Help says :- "If you move to another record or save the record, the form's BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events do occur." I have tried this but can't get it to work. Would it work if I could move the focus to another control on the form and if so how do I do that?
Thanks

I have a main form with 2 subforms. I have a checkbox on subform1 "frmExpediteS" that when checked i would like the Value in Feild "PO" of this subform to appear in "PO" in a second subform2 "frmExpediteDetails". I think I need an after Update event but not sure of the code to use.
Can someone please steer me in the right direction.

I have a DB with TblInspector and TblViolation Data. Here is what I am having trouble with. On my form I have a combo box named Inspector and a text box named ARNumber. What I would like to have happen is anytime that I select John Doe from combo box Inspector it pulls his ARNumber from TblInspector and saves his ARNumber in TblViolation Data.
I have fields Inspector and ARNumber in my TblViolation Data. I am pretty sure it is an After Update Event. I just don't know what code to put where. This is what I currently have on my combo box. It pulls the number and displays it in the text box on the form but does not save it to the table.
Private Sub Inspector_AfterUpdate()
Me.ARNumber = Me.Inspector.Column(1)
End Sub
I have a form which displays information in the footer until the use has accomplished some tasks. Once I verify that all is well I allow the user to change the fields in the footer. I want to verify that the proper changes were made but the BeforeUpdate event does not fire until the form is closed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I use access database for a website. I would like to run a trigger in a specific table when updating a record.
Is it possible to create table level triggers in Access at all, if it is, pls. give me short direction. (as far as I know there are lot of events, but this events occur only in native access application only, and can not be handled outside of access, am I right?)
thanks a lot

I have a query in a subform on the main form. I have a search box that updates the subform/query as you type something (using the On Change event). You then click on the record you want which transfers the information to the appropriate text boxes (one of these txt boxes is the clientID I talk about below) located next to the search box.
I have a Contacts subform/query much like the serarch box I created and I am using a txt box (on the main frm) clientID (which I get from the above process) to filter the contacts.Now when I pass the ID to the txt box on the main form I am having trouble getting a event to trigger and update the subform/query correctly.
I am using VBA to create a simulated Click action which seems to work but is not updating the Contact subform/query, it is just resetting the subform/query. If I manually click on the txtbox with a ID in there all works wonderfully. I have attached the database. I made the clientID and btn next to it visible(this would not be visible normally).I just realised I left a button on the main form next to the clientID txt box just ignore that and click on a client then the clientID txt box to see how it updates the contacts subform..
I am trying to use a Combobox BeforeUpdate Event to achieve a required result.
I have two combo boxes inside a frame. The first is a year number 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
The Second is the Week No ranging from 1-52, but 1-53 in some cases and this updates accordingly with the year number selected.
When the user has selected Week 53 and then changes the year to a year where only 52 weeks exist I want to Cancel their event.
I have already made a function to determine if 53 weeks exits however when I come to do the Cancel Event, the combobox for the year doesn't change back. It stays on the users new selection.
Below is the code that I am trying to use:
Private Sub cmbWeekNoFromYear_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If UpdateWeekNoSelections Then
Cancel = True
Me.cmbWeekNoFromYear.Undo
End If
End Sub
'cmbWeekNoFromYear is the name of the combobox which holds the year number
'UpdateWeekNoSelections Simply returns True if I want the users change cancelled for cmbWeekNoFromYear
On a form I have a pair of controls, Price and PriceInUSD. If the user enters a new value into the Price field, then its AfterUpdate event fires, which looks up the relevant exchange rate and updates the PriceInUSD control accordingly. That all works fine.
Now in some circumstances (if a checkbox elsewhere on the form is checked), I generate a modal dialog box asking the user to confirm that the Price value is correct, or enter a new value.
That modal dialogue box's Enter button's On Click event then updates the Price control before closing the dialog. That bit works fine, too - but I had thought that this update of the Price control would fire its AfterUpdate event - but it doesn't.
So, my basic question is : do Control events only fire in response to user input, and not to programmed changes ?
I have an order form with an order details sub form. Both are bound to their respective tables and function correctly, with the OrderID being inserted automatically into the order details table.
However I am using VBA to update and check stock and have it working when attached to a separate form called process orders. Which event would be the best place to place this code. I do not really want to have the process orders form. Would it be on the master form or the sub form. I thought of placing it in the after insert event on the subform, but there can be many order items per order and it will run before I have finished adding order items. I tried it in the after insert event on the master form, but I think that this will run the code too soon as at this stage the order details will not have been written to that table.
I want my primary key to be
First 3 letters of surname + first 3 letters of forename + DD + YY (Date of birth)
I can use the after update event to update the primary key field but it won't get saved for some reason so have I missed something?
I have a database which is slowly evolving. Users needed a feature to delete some records without a trail and some with a trail from the form. So I added an apply action field in the subform using which they can delete a record without a trail and if they wanted to keep a trail they could do that too. When user selects "Delete Violations as it was entered in error" the system deletes the record completely which is what everyone wanted.
After six months of use now I am asked to add an audit trail. I managed to do that also. I also looked at Browne's method but my data structure does not match the requirements for that method. I used an alternate method. It works as intended except when a record is completely deleted using the code I mentioned above. Then it goes in the infinite loop. I somehow need to bypass the before update event so that the function to write the audit trail is not called.
I have attached the database ...
I have an after update event that populates, Date, Time and User into corresponding fields when the record status changes to closed.
However... Whilst the information is recorded on the form it does not record to the underlying table is there any reason for this, or anything that I am not doing correctly?
I am updating a value in an unbound control on an unbound form. When the value in the control is changed I want a sequence of code to execute. Specifically changing the record source of a subform and refreshing it.
The problem I have is that when the value of the unbound text box is control is changed (I am using a button to change the value as a test) the after update event on the text box does not do anything.
I did a simple test using a button to change the value in the text box and in the afterupdate event of the text box asked it to output the value of the textbox to a message box as shown below.
The problem is this does not work, nothing happens. If I tab out of the text box or change the value with the keyboard however the msgbox appears. Just not via a vba change.
Code:
Private Sub Prod_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim pid As String
pid = Me.Prod_ID
MsgBox pid
End Sub
Private Sub Button_Test_Click()
Me.Prod_ID.SetFocus
Me.Prod_ID = "TEST"
End Sub
I have a combo box in a sub form with three values, rate1, rate2, and rate3. I have another three fields in the sub form rate1, rate2, and rate3. The rates are dependent on the item. When I select the rate from the combo box I want a cost field to update on change to the relevant rate. I tried this to no avail:
Code:
txtCost = DLookup(cboRate.Value, "tblItem", "ItemID=" & ItemID)
