Form Data Clears On Exit
Jul 19, 2007
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

I'm trying to figure out how to validate a field to make sure the users are not entering any blank spaces into the field. I've tried setting the mask up as "aaaaaa" but it still lets the user enter a blank space.
I've also tried building an event procedure to run on exit that reads:
Private Sub Barcode_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim LPos As Integer
Dim LChar As String
Dim LValid_Values As String
'Start at first character in Barcode
LPos = 1
'Set up values that are considered to be alphanumeric
LValid_Values = " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX YZ+-.0123456789"
'Test each character in Barcode
While LPos <= Len(pValue)
'Single character in Barcode
LChar = Mid(pValue, LPos, 1)
'If character is not alphanumeric, return FALSE
If InStr(LValid_Values, LChar) = 0 Then
AlphaNumeric = False
Exit Function
End If
'Increment counter
LPos = LPos + 1
Wend
'Value is alphanumeric, return TRUE
AlphaNumeric = True
If AlphaNumberic = False Then
MsgBox "Barcode cannot contain blank spaces, only letters and numbers.", vbExclamation, "Barcode Field Value"
Else
End Sub
****
However the message box does not come up and the form will not then let you get out of that field.
Any ideas? I've been checking on this field by running a query and then manually correcting the errors but I would rather that the DB check and force correction at the time the data is entered.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to create a button that clears a field in a record. (Using linked images and need to give the user a way to remove an image if not correct/needed - the record in the table has a field that keeps track of the address of the stored image and I want to remove that info)
The following is the code I have written but I get a datamismatch. The Prepack ID is an autonumber field.
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Prepack TBL] SET ImageName = Null WHERE [Prepack TBL].[Prepack ID] = '" & ID & "' "

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
Thank you

Obviously doing something stupid here :-)
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.
What do I need to set to get this functionality?
Thanks

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

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.
Thanks in advance

If my user uses the MS Access 'X' button (upper right hand of screen) to Exit the application does anyone know what methods are triggered that may let me perform some task before the application actually ends?
Thanks

I've created a new database using the standard Switchboard function. However, when I use the Exit Application command the database closes but MS Access stays open. It's a minor problem but infuriating, especially as I've never encountered this problem before and everything I try won't fix it. Any ideas?

Hiya,
I have a database which on exit runs calls the following module and backs up the database to anther folder
Public Function BackupCopy()
'This function will allow you to copy a db that is open,
'You must set a reference to the 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' for the CopyFile piece to work!
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim sSourcePath As String
Dim sSourceFile As String
Dim sBackupPath As String
Dim sBackupFile As String
sSourcePath = "C:Database"
sSourceFile = "MyDB.mdb"
sBackupPath = "C:DatabaseBackups"
sBackupFile = "BackupDB_" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & "_" & Format(Time, "hhmmss") & ".mdb"
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
fso.CopyFile sSourcePath & sSourceFile, sBackupPath & sBackupFile, True
Set fso = Nothing
Beep
MsgBox "Backup was successful and saved @ " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupPath & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "The backup file name is " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupFile, vbInformation, "Backup Completed"
End Function
but after backing up correctly it brings me the following error
"Run-time errror '424':
Object required
any ideas what might be going wrong
Cheers

I created a form to select individual subcontractors from my database to print their info and it works wonderfully, however, when I close the form I would like the check boxes to return to the default of unchecked so that when I open the form again, there are no checked boxes. How do I do this? Thanks!

I have a strange problem. On some forms with listboxes, when I close (via a close button) the listboxes want to requery after the form closes prompting a parameter box to pop up. I have no code inserted to do this. If I file-close, it works fine.
However some users don't report this to happen on their PC's. All are supposed to be set up the same though with me as an exception (having it fully installed).
I tried converting it to 2000 then back to 2002 (after trying compact-repair) which did fix it for me opening holding the shift key, but not if I open it like everyone else. We just got new PC's running XP pro from 2000. Access version is 2002 and did not change.
Any ideas? Our internal programmer is stumped as am I. He just says "that's why Access shouldn't be used for anything". I develop basic apps in Access and he hates it so I have to make sure it's perfect before rolling things out or I'll be back to the stone ages.

I want to run a function when my application closes. But it must run in all cases, so running it on the last form, or in a hidden form, is not good enough. Even if I'm in design mode with no forms loaded, I want it to run.
For background info - my app is locked down tight against clients poking around. I have got a way for me as developer to get into the "back door", and what I'm trying to do is make sure when I'm finished doing my stuff that the app is locked again without me having to remember to do it.
