Forms :: Button To Go To Desktop From Form - Runtime Error 490
Mar 7, 2015
I was trying from a button on my form that will go to and bring up the desktop. I want it so I can put this database on anyone's computer and the button will work.
I am using this and it works but only on my computer.
Application.FollowHyperlink "C:UsersBryanDesktop"
I also tried this
Application.FollowHyperlink "C:Show Desktop.scf"
And
Application.FollowHyperlink "C:WINDOWSSystemShow Desktop.scf"
Both gives Runtime error 490 cannot open specified file.
I am currently creating a form which includes a command button to update a field in a table to show Today's Date, at the time of running a query I am still yet to write.
I have the following code for my Command Button, which is returning the Runtime Error 3464 (Data type mismatch in Criteria Expression):
Private Sub cmdAddTodaysDate_Click() CurrentDb.Execute (" UPDATE tblMyTable SET TodaysDate = " & Date & " WHERE tblMyTable.ProductCode = " & Me.txtProductCode) End Sub
The query above seems to be having issues matching the text from the 'txtProductCode' textbox to the table field 'ProductCode'.
why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code: Private Sub btnFind_Click() If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?
I have a Main form (MainForm) with two subforms (SFormA, SFormB). These SForms are connected to the MainForm by a control (controlA) and connected to each other by a control (controlB) via an unbound control in the main form, in order to change data in SFormB according to selected record in SFormA. SFormB has an on current event procedure determined to show different things depending on the value of a bound control that changes every time I select a different record in SFormA. Everything works fine when Mainform and SForms first load.
But, when I select a record on SFormA I get a runtime error and everything stops, application closes and reopens, creating a safety copy. It seems to me that the on current procedure on SFormB causes this problem, because if I delete it no error appears (SFormB not showing what I want though). Funny thing is I have another database, same design, same structure, same procedures, (different objects and names of course) and it works perfectly alright. I even recreated the whole database still the same error.
While I have developed many databases using other RDBMSs I'm afraid I'm something of an Access 2007 newbie so the vast bulk of my experience counts for nought given Access' many "unique features".
What I have is a form with about 3 text fields, 2 date fields and a number of comboboxes on it. Although, for now I'm not worrying about the combo boxes until I get the other fields working.
I am trying to develop an update screen where the user types the primary key value for a record into the first field and using DLookup retrieve the other values from the table and insert them into the form so the user can adjust them if they wish and click the Save button to write the changes back to the table. That's the theory.
Unfortunately the reality is, although the values added to the other fields using DLookup are "there" they don't appear on the screen until the controls lose focus. My best guess is because they are being added programatically and no Return key is being pressed, focus will not change and they will never appear.
So to get around this I put a line of code in the GotFocus event of each control to move focus on to the next control, effectively "looping" the focus once around the controls. This worked well until the focus was being moved from the second last control to the last control when I got, Runtime error 2110: Can't move focus to this control. The control was visible and enabled, as was a dummy control I tacked on the end to see what happened.
Main code block in Exit event of first field:
Private Sub Text6_Exit(Cancel As Integer) Dim varItemType, varItemTypeCode, varItemClass, varItemClassCode, varDescription As Variant Dim varPurchaseDate, varWarrantyEnd As Variant Dim varItemTypeTxt As AcTextFormat Dim PurchaseDateSQL As String
I have a program that has a "GC" Button that I click on which takes me to a General Contractor Form. It works perfectly unless the Firm has an apostrophe in it's name. For example "D'Agostino". (refer to attached DAgostino1.jpg). When I click on the GC button, I get the attached Syntax error, (Syntax on DAgostiono.jpg).
The third attachment (GC Firm Button Code.jpg) shows the VBC for this button.
Run into a bit of an issue with a combo box that has dates. When I click on a date I receive:
Run-time error '3464': 'Data type mismatch in criteria expression'
Am I receiving this because I have declared it a string when I should declare it something else?
My other question for whenever I get the first part fixed. Is there a way that instead of having all the possible dates to select from, that I could simply have three options available: Within a year, More than a year, and no date. (Once I click on one of those three options, I will filter records that have a date within the past year, over a year, or no date at all. How would I be able to achieve this?
I have a main form with several subforms in tabs. From one of the subforms I list linked records to the main form (Clients) within that subform (Bank account details). I list the records and have a button to add new records.
Where the Client has one or more records in the subform the add button works perfectly.
When the subform has no records the add new records button produces the following error "Run-time error '2498' An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
The add button has
Private Sub Command52_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "AddClientBankDetailsFrm", acNormal, , , , acFormAdd, OpenArgs:=Me!ClientId End Sub
the "AddClientBankDetailsFrm" popup form has
Private Sub Form_Load() If IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) = False Then MsgBox "Form was opened with ClientID = " & Me.OpenArgs Me!ClientId = Me.OpenArgs Else MsgBox "No ClientID was passed." End If End Sub
ClientId is the primary key of the main form and the secondary key in the new record.
I have a form that contains a field with an On Click event procedure to send the value in that field to a corresponding field on a subform attached to another form. Does that make any sense? The On Click procedure looks like this:
I’m not quite sure what I am doing wrong. I am getting the Run-time Error ‘2465’ and it is pointing out that it is unable to find field ‘fsubSubFormName’. I have double (and triple) checked the names and I have not misspelled the names of the form or subform. Did I set up the event incorrectly? Could it be that I am not calling the subform the correct way? Any ideas? .....
I have a form that has a button that calls the following code:
Sub ClosePO_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim mvalue As String, strSql as string Set db = CurrentDb mvalue = Me.Combo73 'combo box on OpenPO Form strSql = "UPDATE Print SET OpenPO = NO where [GPO Invoice Number] = '" & mvalue & "'" Debug.Print strSql db.Execute dbFailOnError db.Close Set db = Nothing End Sub
When I run (or step through the code, I get the Run-Time Error 3078 ... database cannot find the input table.However, when I copy the debug.print output in the immmediate window and paste into the query builder, the query runs. Here is an example of the debug.print output:
UPDATE [Print] set OpenPO = NO where [GPO Invoice Number] = '40333' where OpenPO is a yes/no field and [GPO Invoice Number] is a string
why access 2007 is displaying an image oddly on a 2003/2008 terminal server farm. I am reasonably sure the problem is an access on terminal server issue because if you view the image in paint, image viewer, or word it displays fine on the terminal server. I don't think it is a resolution or color issue because once again it displays fine in paint, etc regardless of color depth.
The image below shows the difference in the png graphic. The image is transparent (the blue section being the background)

As you can see the terminal server image is pixelated.
The form the image is sitting on has a blue gradiant that goes light to dark left to right. The form properties are below
My database was working fine. Now, if I have to save or edit a record, I get a message Run time error 2107. The value you entered does not meet the validation rule defined for the field or control. I am able to enter and edit new records in the table. I did not change any validation in form. Then it goes to debug mode and highlighted this code (me.recordsource=Listsql - is highlighted)
Private Sub ListSearch_Click() Dim dBS As Database Dim Rst As Recordset Dim Listsql As String Set dBS = CurrentDb() Listsql = "Select * from MasterData where employeeid ='" & [Forms]![MASTERFORM]![ListSearch] & "'"
Having set a table short text field to 'Indexed (No Duplicates)', I have a form which produces a '2105 runtime error' when the user attempts to submit a duplicate value. I would like to replace this default error message with a more user-friendly MsgBox.
My code for the SaveRecord button is:
Code:
Private Sub SaveRecord_Click() DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec MsgBox "Record successfully saved", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Record Saved" End Sub
My code to capture the 2105 runtime error is:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) If DataErr = 2105 Then MsgBox ("This villa booking has already been logged.") Response = 0 End If End Sub
Unfortunately when the save button is clicked (when attempting to save a duplicate value), the 2105 error still runs. What are I doing wrong?
I have a BE database, that when opened, opens a form for saving the results of a query to a text file on the desktop. It works fine, if the full path is entered.
The problem is, I want this saved on any users' desktop. I did some digging and found the %userprofile% variable, which when used, gives me the error.
I understand this should work in both Windows XP and Windows 7, which are the environments the full DB will operate in. So far the "EXPORT" button on the form has the following for the code:
Code: Private Sub BTN_Export_Click() DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", "C:UsersMark N. McAllisterDesktopPubComExp.txt" End Sub
When I tried this:
Code: Private Sub BTN_Export_Click() Dim strPath As String strPath ="%userprofile%desktopPubComExp.txt" DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", strPath End Sub
Not sure how to work in the '* ROLL *' into this SQL statement. The query statement works fine ... I have tried different quotation methods ( Not Like " & " ' * ROLL * & ' " & " ) AND .... )
sql = "SELECT DISTINCTROW Sum(CDbl([Scrap Factor])) AS SumOFScrap FROM [RT: Signpro1: Costs] LEFT JOIN [DT: InventoryExtend] ON [RT: Signpro1: Costs].[Part Number] = [DT: InventoryExtend].[Part#] GROUP BY [DT: InventoryExtend].CategoryID, [DT: InventoryExtend].Description, [forms]![signpro sign estima parameters]![combo14] HAVING ((([DT: InventoryExtend].CategoryID)=30) AND (([DT: InventoryExtend].Description) Not Like '* ROLL *') AND (([forms]![signpro sign estima parameters]![combo14])=1));"
I am attempting to create a form (Access 2013) that will include buttons to open the hyperlink menu to add a hyperlink into a table. It works if you click "Ok" without issue, however, if you click "Cancel" or click on the "X" I get a "Run-time error '2501' - The RunCommand action was cancelled". This is obviously referring to the RunCommand in the VBA code. The code does not reference the cancel or close option of the hyperlink editing box. I don't know how to correct this error.
Code:
Private Sub Command9_Click() Me.[Hyperlink].SetFocus DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdInsertHyperlink Command9_Click_Exit: Exit Sub
[code]....
Also, is there a way to get the hyperlink to populate as the full network path and not the drive letter?
Ive created a database using the file system object that creates folders, moves files from one folder to another, etc.
This works perfectly on my home pc, but when i try to install it on the server at work I get the following error message:-
Runtime Error 429
Active X component can't create object
I've had a look on the net and appears that it only happens on certain computers and I wondered if anyone had any quick fixes that they had come across over the years.
Private Sub Save_Click() If IsNull(cboEmpName) Then MsgBox "Please Select Employee Name" Me.cboEmpName.SetFocus End If If Me.txtNoofDaysWorked.Value = "0" Then MsgBox "Please Enter No of Worked Days"
