Hi
I am trying to create an alert function so that when a user open up a form and displays a record, it will also display any alerts that have been created for that record. e.g. missed payments etc.
I have created a table to store the alert data along with the job number to which the alert relates so in essence I can have more that one alert per job record. I amtrying get one of the alerts to display ok using the following code
alerts = DLookup("[Job _Number]", "Alerts", "[Job _Number]='" & Me.Job_Number & "'" And "[Start_Date]" >= Date)
You will see that I am trying to only display alerts that are within the valid date range (I have not yet included [End_Date] as I cannot get the code above to work.
Can anyone help me correct this code please?
The other thing is that because I am using a dlookup, I am assuming it will only display the first alert it finds in the table and that's it? If so, how do it get it to display all 'active' alerts with a matching job number. By active I mean where the Start date is >= Date() and End date is <= Date()
I would really appreciate any help on this..
Thank you all for reading.

Hi all, wondering if anyone can help me.
I have an access database, with a form called "Stock Maintenance", the controls on the form are QTY & Min QTY.
What i would like if possible, is once the Min QTY is below (10) an alert message/flag appears, saying QTY LOW Re-order Stock!!
I hope I have expressed what im trying to do.
any help on this matter would be greatly appricated.
I have a screen that has 8 different buttons and clicking on any of these buttons generates an appropriate letter and once the button was clicked in also inserts a date, today's date.
Private Sub btnSecondReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnSecondReport_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'* Call the standard letter printing routine for this form.
Call StandardLetterVariables("Bd$50paid.doc")
btnFirstReport.SetFocus
[DTSecondLetterSent] = Date
Exit_btnSecondReport_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnSecondReport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnSecondReport_Click
So I would like to create an alert that looks at this date and 14 days from that date will alert, remind whatever I want to do.
I am thinking it wouldn't be too hard to create a reminder that pops up when the record is opened but I am sure users will want to be reminded without having to go into the record.
My question: can I and is it hard to create a reminder that will take care of paying attention when and who needs to be reminded or should I just create a report and let them run this.
I hope this makes sense and sombody has done this.
ok.. i need to add an input textbox to my message alert..
i have this right now..
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox ("Enter the date:")
End Sub
i also need the value they enter to be saved as 'formdate'
then i will assign my date field to that value using something like
datefield = formdate

I have a main form with two unbound text boxes that filter a subform with a select query in the record source. The problem is that it only works sometimes.when I copy and paste the SQL into a query instead of the form it works all the time. for example when I open the query and the form side by side with the same SQL the form does not show results but the Query does, and yes I have "requeried" both of them after entering criteria into the unbound text boxes.
Here is the SQL:
SELECT [Quote_ID] & "-" & [Version] AS QuoteIDv, tblQuoteID.Quote_Type,
tblQuoteID.Quoted_By, tblQuoteID.Agency, DLookUp("[Contact]",
"tblContacts","[QuoteID] = '" & [Quote_ID] & "' And [Version] = '" & [Version] & "'") AS contact,
tblQuoteID.Quote_Date, tblQuoteID.FileName, tblQuoteID.FileLocation, tblQuoteID.Amount,
tblQuoteID.Active, tblQuoteID.Quote_ID, tblQuoteID.Version, tblQuoteID.Selected

Hi All.
Hope someone can help.
I have a form with 2 combos (cboStart and cboEnd) and button to preview a report.
The report is made from a Query, with the following in the completion date:-
Between [Forms]![frmReporting]![cboStart] And [Forms]![frmReporting]![cboEnd]
The user then chooses the start date and end dates in the combo's.
What I would like to do is have a message box appear if the use forgets to enter either date.
Many Thanks for reading this.
Frank.

I have a date in "date to engineering" of 13/ 01/2010 but I am not getting a value in my field which should be 1479 my field is just always returning an empty field
Code:
=IIf(IsDate([date to engineering]),"",IIf(IsDate([date from engineering]),Now()-[date to engineering],[date from engineering]-[date to engineering]))
I'm using a form for book drinks to a customer room.
To find the customer, I'm using an search function (Unbound field), works fine.
The same function I'm using in the subform, for booking the articles to the customer.
Now, I'm wondering, is there an easy way to clear the search field either when starting the form or after the search is done and the article booked.
The search function is based on the macro (Search for record, condition: ="[ID] = " & Str(Nz(Screen.ActiveControl,0))).
I'm working on a table for work which will serve as a database of bins and the products currently in those bins, as follows:
ID Bin Amt Product
1 34 25 110001
2 33 15 200005
3 32 23 110003
etc.
Basically: employee A will use a form to update "Bin 34" (ID=1), with information (Amt, Product) until it is emptied by employee B and cleared using a separate form. No new records will be made or deleted, just the adjacent fields (Amt, Product) cleared and filled in and cleared again over and over.
What I'm trying to figure out is, when employee A clicks on the combo box on his/her form to select a Bin and enter information, how can I filter what is listed in the combo box to display only those bins which have no values under Amt & Product. The real-world risk of overwriting a bins fields before it has been cleared by employee B (who physically empties the bin) can be extremely high monetarily so I am trying to reduce that risk by eliminating it from the combo box until employee B has cleared those fields.
Hi,
I have a form with some bound fields and some unbound fields. If I make any change to the bound fields I can use the "Before update" event to perform some actions when a user tries to move onto a new record.
What I now need is if a user doesn't make any change to the bound fields but makes a change to an unbound field - how can I check this before the next record is displayed. Is there any event I can use? Each time a user tries to move to a new record I want to check first if they have added anything to an unbound field.
Users can move onto the next record using buttons or the record navigator at the end of the form.
Many Thanks,
I have a form in continuous forms mode...
Each entry is something the user is supposed to check on once and hour and update.
I have a "Last updated" field.
Now() goes into that field every time the record is updated.
I have a querry that will show the users records that are over an hour old.
How can I get Access to pop-up a window or something to alert the user they need to look at something? It would be really nice if Aspect would start blinking in the task bar or something.
Thanks!
But how do I have a message box pop up that warns the user he is about to edit an already entered record?
Is there a setting for this in the form design. Or do I need VBA, in which case what form event would I tie the msg box too?
I have message box come up in the On Enter of field (ContactTypeID):
Code:
Select Case MsgBox("Take care when editing this field!", vbOKCancel Or vbExclamation Or vbDefaultButton1, "Access DB")
Case vbOK
Case vbCance
Me!Listing.SetFocus
End Select
to warn the user that this will change the contact type of the record.When I click the field everything works fine except I'm not able to enter the next field. All other fields I'm able to enter. Also, when I try top enter the next field (Phone) I get the message box for the other field even though I have nop message box function for that field.
How to have a message appear if the "Symbol_Stock" field is blank.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
Records:
Date | Temp
2014 | 20.5
2013 | 18.5
2012 | 19.0
2011 | 22.7
2010 | 15.2
So when I enter the record for 2015 I have a box that says: Temp and next to that box is "Last year was 20.5" or something like that.
I am trying to create a form in Access 2003, to view / create entries into a table - but the "new record" button appears to be greyed out when the table is completely empty. When I create an identical form that queries an identical table (except that it has several records already setup) I can add new records as much as I like. Is this normal? Any way of getting round this?
The problem is that I'm trying to add records to a table that is regularly polled by a DTS. Every 15 mins, this reads then deletes any entries - hence the table is generally empty. Apologies if this is a basic question, I'm very new to Access :)
