Form Does Not Load Until Loop Has Finished

Jan 3, 2008

Hi

I have created a small form that hold a cube of 9 boxes on it. The idea is that it will act as a small icon that indicates the system is loading. (Purely cosmetic)

I have triggered the boxes to change colour on a loop when the form loads but the problem is that the loop function is being carried out before the form actually loads. How do I get the form to display first and then carry out the loops to change the colour of the shapes?

Thanks all...

Finished Loading

May 9, 2005

i have a form, in which two of the controls on the form, are unbound image controls, which display linked images. Now i have a button, which when both images have been displayed successfully, i would like to set the enabled property of this button to true.

How can i detect, that an image has ended up linking and is now fully displayed ?

Thank You

My Database Is Nearly Finished!!! Looking For A Few Answers 8)

Feb 7, 2007

Im nearly finished creating my first real production database, its pretty exciting! Theres a few things that I need to accomplish to consider it 100% working and im wondering if anyone has any input on the following matters:

1) Users import their data via an excel spreadsheet. Its all done behind the scenes. One routine pulls in information about servers from an excel spreadsheet and after formatting it via queries, puts it in the main table. The spreadsheet in question starts with the servername cell. On the spreadsheet, the first row contains the name of the server, but the second and subsequent rows contain blank space in the servername column, but imply that the rest of the information is for the various connections associated with that server listed above... IE:

Column "ServerName"
Row1: Server1 IP address Switch Etc
Row2: <blank> IP address Switch Etc
Row3: Server2 IP address Switch Etc
Row4: <blank> IP address Switch Etc
Row5: <blank> IP address Switch Etc
Row6: Server3 IP address Switch Etc
and so on and so on...

What im wondering, is if its possible to fill in the blank spots with the cell above the records that start blank? (to populate the record with its respective server). Any input on methods to accomplish this would be appreciated.

2) Is there a way to attach code to the different buttons on the record selector? For tracking purposes, everything that my users do is stored in a seperate table. The only thing I cant seem to track is when users enter a record via the main data entry form. Automated tasks are no problem, but I cant seem to find a method to attach code to, say, the next record button on the default record selector.

3) I have a few queries that collectively import data from excel. When I do this, I remove confirmation messages so that users dont have to click through a sea of 'OK's. Im wondering if theres a way to count how many records get pulled in from an import, seperate which were good and which were bad, and simply pop up a message box stating that X records were imported succesfully, and X were not due to whatever reason.

4) Is there a way to sort text as if it were a number? I have a few fields that need to be text format, but contain numbers most of the time. The sorts always put 1 above 10, 9, 8, 7, etc, and id like to either find a way to make a query that changes all single digit numbers to double digit numbers or simply sort it in a numerical format.

5) What considerations should I take into account when it comes to the amount of data that access 2003 databases can effectively store and use? Ive heard that access can effectively handle 32000 records or something to that effect. Over that, what will I be dealing with? Slow performance? A complete roadblock?

I realize that there are a lot of questions here, and by no means wish to have my work done for me. Id very greatly appreciate any feedback that anyone wishes to give 8) Even if you dont want to code routines for me, thats fine.. I actually enjoy figuring this stuff out on my own, and a simple nudge in the right direction would suffice.

Thank you so very much!

Finished Product Is Also A Raw Material

Feb 23, 2007

I'm new to Access (2002) and have been trying to learn by reading books, posts, forums and practicing with models. I've set up a database for inventory, primarily to track the cost of goods sold as raw material costs change from month to month. So far I have tables for raw materials, container sizes, suppliers, and finished products. But I have a problem - in some cases a finished product is also a raw material, so cannot appear in both tables. (Let's say we make cookies and we make ice cream, and we also make ice cream with cookies on top as a third/separate finished product!) Should cookies have two records ('CookieFinished' and 'CookieRM') and can they be linked together so cost is determined before it's part of another? Is there a better way? Thanks in advance!

Finished Acces Db. How Should I Set Up For Users?

Feb 28, 2008

I have completed a db and am satisfied with the structure and forms. The object window is hidden when the database is opened, and the main entry form automatically opens for the user. This db will be in a network folder and several users will have access to it. I want people to be able to enter data and run reports, but not make any changes to the database itself, or accidentally delete the database file or some other change to the structure. What is the proper way to set up the folder rights and anything else associated with the previous question?

Thanks.

Modules & VBA :: Suspending Code Until Outside Application Finished

Nov 5, 2014

I have a Subroutine that is using CutePDF writer to create a PDF from a report, then attach it to a new message in outlook. The problem is the code runs too fast and it's looking for the file to attach before the file is created.

I'm getting
Run-time error '-2147024894 (80070002)':
Cannot find this file. Verify the path and file name are correct.

Yes, I know why I am getting the error, and yes I could use a loop timer, except it may be 5 seconds before the person finally clicks OK in CutePDF dialogue box, it may be 5 minutes or it may be 5 hours.

Maximize Form On Load

May 22, 2006

I have some trouble getting a form to open maximized. This form is opening from a switchboard that is centered and not sizable. After clicking on a command button in the switchboard the form I am having trouble with opens in its own window, but I cannot get it to maximize automatically. I have been to every setting I know on the form properties but for some reason nothing seems to be able to get that form to open maximized.:confused:

Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!

VB Code To Load A Form

Mar 14, 2006

Hi Guys

How do I load a form from another form? I would prefer to use VB (in fact, its probably the only way you can do it!). I have tried varius commands that would have worked in VB - but dont work in Access, like...

Code:Unload MeLoad Form_tblClientsForm_tblClients.show

The above code does not work AT ALL. It gets an error at the Unload Me line, an error at the Load Form_tblClients line, and the action 'Show' does not even exist under Form_tblClients, so that wont work either!

I am aware of Switchborads, but i want to know how to load a form, and make it pop up in a new window from within another form.

How To Load A Record On A Form

Jun 14, 2014

I only have one table that both forms pull from.

I have 3 forms. The only form a user will ever see is F_Main

F_MAIN (Just loads the 2 forms below within itself)
F_Data_Short (Grid View.. Rows and Columns.. All Records.. Shows some fields)
F_Data_Long (Single Record View.. Showing all fields)

F_MAIN
-> On the left is F_DATA_SHORT
-> On the Right is F_DATA_LONG

How can I set it.. When a record on the left included form is clicked.. it loads that same record on the right included form. No pop ups...

I know I can use the On Click option for the form on the Left... and set code or a macro to the load the data on the right. I tried everything and can't seem to get the data to load on the right when a record is clicked on the left...

Open Invisible Form On Load

Mar 23, 2005

How do you open an invisible form when the database opens. In the database's startup options I have the database open a form, however, for some reason I can't set it to an invisible state.

My users run macros in their programs (not forms) the sole purpose of the form is to track which users are logged in the database or not. Therefore, when the form opens/closes, a user-table updated.

I don't want the users to be able to see this form, but I have no way to keep it hidden. More importantly because no other forms are being used or opened on load... I can't open the form hidden. Does anyone know anyway around this?

Calculated Fields On Load Of Form

May 4, 2005

Could someone tell me what Event I need to put this code in to calculate my fields when the form first opens?

I have this code on both the After Update and On Change events which is working fine, but, when I first open the form, those calculated fields are blank and I have to perform a change or update before the calculations will appear each time.

If Not IsNull(Me.fcstloc) Then
Me.prodvolume = DSum("[volume]", "qryMonthlyEngineVolumes", "[product] = '" & Forms!Projects!product & "'" & " And [MonthID] Between " & Forms!Projects.MonthID.Column(0) & " And 12")
ElseIf Not IsNull(Me.prodvolume) Then
Me.prodvolume = DLookup("[2004volume]", "tblProjectDetails", "[projectid] = " & Forms!Projects!projectid & "")
End If

Thanks!
