Hi could someone point me in the right direction for this one,
I have a series of linked tabbed Forms. One of the Forms is mostly populated by Combo boxes which all work fine. My problem occurs when you go to add a new record and populate the form with the combo boxes but decide for some reason not to save the record but exit the form using the Close form command button or by using the close button at the top of the Form. Access seems to Save the record anyway. I have placed an Undo Cmd on the form to clear all text boxes which works fine but it does not stop a user from closing or exiting a Form by another means and stop them saving that incomplete record.
I would be grateful for any thoughts on how to solve this problem.
I am having a problem with calculated fields that are populated on the main form from the subform not saving to the table the main form is linked to.
I created a Purchase Order table that has information on what emplyee created the record, reason for order, customer information if its ordered for a customer, creation date, eta date and notes while the Purchase Order details table is for information on the supplier, product item number, product name, quantity and cost. they are linked by the Purchase Order number which is the primary key in the Purchase order table. it all looked good so i made the form with the Purchase Order Detail as the subform, i got the form all working great and how i wanted it but then i decided i wanted the supplier name and the subtotal of the cost in the main form populated or calculated by the values in the subform.
I copied the fields i wanted populated in the main form to the subform footer and added the calculation for the subtotal then added the formula to the source code on those fields in the main form so the values would populate. it all worked great on the form and the values populated as they were supposed to so i saved the record and went to look at the tables and i found that while the values in the calculated fields that I populated from the subform showed up in the form they didnt save to the table while the non calculated fields saved fine. i did some experimenting and found that if i delete the code and put the data source back to the table in the form and just type something in the text box it would save to the table but not if i had the code in and let it populate.
an example of one of the codes i used to populate the data in the main form is:
Below is the code for exiting without saving. It works perfectly fine. I just want to know if I can change the MSGBOX message to something like "Are you sure you want to exit without saving?" instead of its default message - "Are you sure you want to delete this record? and also, right now, if I click NO when I am asked if I want to delete this record, it exit the form rather than staying in the same form. But how do I make it to STAY in the same form if I click NO.
Code: Private Sub Command24_Click() On Error GoTo Command24_Click_Err On Error Resume Next DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
Hello, I have a form and I have a button so people can open records to load into the form. The problem is that whenever they close the form it updates the information in the table. How do I stop that from happening? I want the information in the table to update only when they hit the button I made (which works).
And how do I stop it from loading the record when I open the form, or maybe I can specify to load a blank record instead, how do I do that?
I have a form frmAddNewProject that is a Data Entry form.When you click Add Project on the form, it creates folders and copies files to a location and also creates new record(s) in the ProjectT table with appropriate information.Here is my code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click() Dim FSO As Object Dim FromPath As String Dim ToPath As String Dim FolderPath As String Dim strType As String Dim strYear As String Dim strGPN As String
[code]....
Everything works fine till here. Now I would like to close the form but closing it gives me an additional empty record.
Code:
Dim ctl As Control On Error Resume Next For Each ctl In Me.Controls ctl = ctl.DefaultValue Next Set ctl = Nothing
to remove all values, but then it just adds an empty record.Is there a way to close that form without removing my legitimate new records and without adding empty ones?
I have a form I would like to close without saving the record using a button. here is the code I have but it closes the form and it also writes the record to the table.
Code: Private Sub ClosewoSave_Click() Cancel = True Me.Undo DoCmd.close DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMenu" End Sub
I found in a thread that Cancel = True would not write the record.
I want to set up that if there is missing value of the fields, then we cannot go to next record or exit the form when we click to do next action.
I tried to add the code in the After update event, or Exit event,
Example Code: if (isnull([Zip]) or len([zip]) = 0) then msgbox "missing" [zip].setforce end if
when I click to go to next record, or exit the form, it give out message "missing", it work fines, but, it still go to next record, or exit the form after the message.
I have a timer form which closes the database after a period of time with DoCmd.Quit. Another form is open at this point but if a user has left it in the middle of editing it I want to be able to save the record in the other form and close it before the timer form closes the database.
What VBA do I need in the timer form to save the record and close the other form before DoCmd.Quit? Just to be clear the code is...
Private Sub Form_Timer() On Error Resume Next Me.Tag = Val(Me.Tag) - (Me.TimerInterval / 1000) Me.Caption = "The database will exit in " & Me.Tag & " seconds" If Val(Me.Tag) <= 0 Then
Iam very new to ACCESS. So please do forgive me for believing that the "SAVE AS" function in ACCESS is as easy as something similar we do in Microsoft Word.
After searching this forum and others I realise that there is no easy way and it is considered as some thing for serious users. (with additional coding not available in ACCESS) Perhaps there are easier ways that I am not aware of.
I would like to open a record in a FORM which has one Combo Box for text data, several text and Numeric fields. I then need to change a few items and save the record as a New Record Only a few (mostly numeric fields) and some date entries will be changed as well as a couple of calculated fields in the NEW RECORD.
I shall appreciate any suggestion as to how to do this.
I have a popup called by a subform to add a new record or edit a selected record. I keep getting "Runtime error 32502". The value you entered isn't valid for the field "|"
I have no required fields and all the drop down related fields have the right value type in them (That I can find)The only "|" reference I can find is in the OpenArgs content below when I load the form. If I'm adding a new record I pass two fileds via the OpenArgs
Private Sub Command52_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "AddDebtorPaymentFrm", , , , acFormAdd, OpenArgs:=Me![DebtorId] & "|" & Me![MatterId] End Sub
or if I'm modifying a record from the subform on click I
Private Sub Text38_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "AddDebtorPaymentFrm", acNormal, , "[Transactions].[TransId] = " & Me.TransId, acFormEdit End Sub
Below is the Popup Load code
Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.DataEntry = True Then Me.VariableHeading = "Add A Debtor Payment"
I have a form that I need to use to add new clients to a table in my database, lets call it tblClients. On this form I have a combo box which, when selected, will drop down with the first and last names of all clients in tblClients, as well as their Client ID. Once you select a client from the drop down menu, it populates all of the fields in the form with that clients info (Client ID, fname, lname, address, phone number, etc. etc.).
I need two other things on this form: one button that will save or modify whatever current record is currently pulled up, and one button that will start the process for entering a new client, so basically it would blank out all of the fields and fill the Client ID field with the current number +1.
As of right now I have the form made and the combo box works, in that I have 3 dummy clients in the tblClients and when I select each client from the combo box it will populate the fields on the form with the info. I'm using some simple VBA on the combo box such as
Me.FirstName = Me.cboBox.Column(1)
and that seems to all work, but the problem is trying to save/modify data to tblClients. The only record in the actual table that gets modified seems to be the first record. For example, if I pull up client with ID #3 and change his address or phone number, what happens when I click to save the changes it takes client ID #3 record, overrides it with client ID #1, and then client ID #3 is the same as client ID #1 except with the old information. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.
I have a continuous form it has a field (DateStart) and a field (DateStartCarryOver). There is an event on (DateStart) for the (DateStart.Value) to be passed to a new record in (DateStartCarryOver).
My probem is that the new record dosent get saved (i.e. it dosent get an ID so a record isnt created. How can I create that record once the data has bee pased to it?
I have a form to add a record to a table. How can I give the user a way to close this form without saving the just created record.
I tried
If me.dirty then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord endif
This works, but gives a messagebox in return to confirm the command, and I don't want that. And I try to avoid sendkeys. I also don't want to change the options of access.
I need to save a single record (preferably the current record) as a PDF. I have created a form for my boss to calculate bids. He wants to save each record individually as a PDF to upload into our service software program to attach to client files. I can save a selected record as a PDF if I print the selected record first. We need to eliminate having to print it first as it is just a waste of paper and an unnecessary step. I am kind of thinking that VBA and attaching that to a control button on the form is the way to go, but I am new to writing code and I am completely confused!
I have a very simple single-table database with 23 fields. Some of the records have only two or three fields populated. I would like to be able to print a summary of only the populated fields in each record.
It would Ideally look something like: Record 1 Name Field 1 Title: Field 1 content - Field 2 Title: Field 2 Content - Field 5 Title: Field 5 content Field 10 Title: Field 10 Content - Field 11 Title: Field 11 content - Field 12 Title: Field 12 Content Field 21 Title: Field 21 content - Field 22 Title: Field 22 Content
Record 2 Name Field 1 Title: Field 1 content - Field 2 Title: Field 2 Content - Field 5 Title: Field 5 content Field 10 Title: Field 10 Content
Record 3 Name Field 11 Title: Field 11 content - Field 12 Title: Field 12 Content - Field 21 Title: Field 21 content Field 22 Title: Field 22 Content
I have a table with multiple fields and each record in the table may not have data for all fields. I need to write a query that will pull only the fields that are populated for each record from the table.
I have a form with 4 tab pages. on the 2 tab page I have a subform that adds records to a table via 2 combo boxes.
I have been able to stop user from leaving a combo control blank or skipping to the next combo control, but if user clicks the Exit command button on the main form, from the 2nd combo control, it prompts that value has to be selected but the gives error:
"You cannot add or change record because a related record is required"
How can I stop this so form will close and undo the 1st combo selection and not give error?
My main form has 2 “Continuous Forms” sub forms. The cycle of the sub forms is set to “All Records”
Is there a way to exit the first sub form and move the focus to the second sub form utilizing only the keyboard? (Like shift + tab, or any custom buttons) I’m trying to avoid using the mouse
I use a form for data entry. When I hit the next arrow in the navigation button section (the default navigation buttons supplied by access), by data is saved into the relevant table.
When the I press the X on the form my data is also saved. However I'm not given the opportunity to say if I want to quit the form or save the data.
Hi all, I have a textbox with an input mask for an id number, so if I begin adding numbers I get an error message if they're not in correct format- this is fine- but I want the user to be able to cancel the entry and exit the form, but when I click the cancel button I get an error message about the id format- anyone know how I can allow cancel to override this? thanx

I am developing an Access 2003 database for our shipping dept. I have linked tables from a Sql Server 2000 Database that MakeTable queries were used to make tables then changed to Update Queries for the data.
The shipper opens a form (Call it Dock 1, Dock 2 , etc.) to scan a barcode or manually key the Batch Code in a ComboBox that is a lookup. "Enter" moves the cursor to create the next Record with the balance of the data pulled into the next 6 or 7 fields through VB Code. This data is written to a table for verification of each shipment.
My problem is that if the form is closed or the user exits Access, this form is empty when reopened but the table is intact. I need to be able to assure the form is not cleared on exit unless by request.
I have tried
"Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)" "docmd.gotorecord ,, aclast " "End Sub"
in the Form, (Without the Quotes) nothing happened not data was returned but, the data was in the Table
I need all entries to be retained not just the last record
I am not a programmer but i have experience with VB6 and Access 2.0, 3.0, 97, 2002, & 2003. Any help will be appreciated and I offer my thanks in advance to all responders
On this db, the users input a FROM date and a TO date to apply for leave, and the number of days required is calculated. I was able to get this done, but the problem is if they want leave for only half a day. The term that we usually use is FN and AN. What I want is this: If they choose FN to FN, or AN to AN, we should get .5. If they select FN to AN or AN to FN that is one day. Saturdays, Sundays and certain other days are holidays. On Table2 I have a FROM field and a TO field, but no field for AN/FN (yet). How can we accomplish this?
** Additional Note: Could I possibly just have a field in my main form that pulls data from another table? Warning: bad with code**
I'm not sure I'm looking at this correctly and have tried to figure it out (For about two weeks now). I really hope someone can help with this.
I have to add a "Multiplier" to my form. I have tried this numerous ways but it's not working properly.
What I need is to have a main form with a subform only displaying the relevant field (that being if this month/year and location match up between both the subform table and the main form that is displayed, then show this value in the subform on the main form). With this multiplier displayed, another field in the main form is then multiplied by this value.
Is this the right way to do this or no? I'm open to basically anything. It's just that the 'multiplier' changes from month to month and rather then have people manually enter in the multiplier to the main form for every day of the month, I'd rather a field be automatically populated and therefore the other field automatically multiplying by this.
I have a number of tables in my database, and they're linked in with a form. I'd like to have a field in a form that's populated automatically based on what's inputted in a different field.For example, I've got one table with names and descriptions on widgets (name in column A, description in column B).
Widget 1 This widget is blue Widget 2 This widget is green Widget 3 This widget is yellow
When I'm in my form, I want when I select Widget 1 to have the corresponding text (This widget is blue) appear in a field below.
I have a subform with records of call details (date, time, subject) - the date and time are autogenerated and subject is a text field. After entering text in the subject field and then clicking on the close button in the main form, or clicking anywhere else in the main form, the record is saved to the table. However, if I enter text in the subject field and then move up to view previous records (within the subform) and then click the close button in the main form the record is not saved in the table. How can I either save the record before allowing the user to move to another record within the subform or before exiting the subform set the focus to the new record so that it will be saved on exit?
