Forms :: Check If All Required Fields Have Been Filled
Jun 27, 2015
I tried to check if all required fields have been filled before saving the record using the following code.
Private Sub txtReportNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.cboMainCat) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox ("Please enter Data for Main Cat")
Me.cboMainCat.SetFocus
End If
Repeat above code for all required controls here.
End Sub
It did not work with following error code.
Run-time error 2108
You must save the field before you execute the GoToControl action, the GoToControl method, or the SetFocus method.
The error message contradicts my original intention that prevents from saving without all required fields have been filled. Is there any way to get rid of this error message?
In addition, under the value of certain field, I need to check additional fields under that scenario. Is any additional code required to add in for that purpose?
I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?
I have a form with datasheet view and I need to make user that user fills in all fields before he moves on to the next row. how to catch the moment of moving to another row?
I haven't programmed using Access in about 10 years and seem to have lost all knowledge of it.I'm struggling to make a really simple application. I need to keep track of which serial number is attached to which order.All I want is for me to be able to scan a barcode (or manually type the numbers) into a 'packschein' (packing list) and then to scan all the barcodes of the products' serial numbers relating to this packing list. Then preferably simply press the enter button or even better scan a barcode which launches the code to save the new entry.
So a packing list can have 1 or more serial numbers.However, the way I've set it up, for some reason it requires a packschein number (good), but then does not require a serial number. I have this feeling I messed up with the way the tables are meant to be linking to one another.
I have a form and subform.The form and subform both access tables that have "required" fields.If I try to tab to the sub form without filling in the required field then I get an error message generated by access (this is what I want). If I try and exit the form without the required field I get an error message as well.
Now it's a different story with the sub form. The sub form contains 1 to many rows. In each row there is a required field. I don't get any error message for not filling in that field. I Know I can 'capture' this in the code but I want access to do it.
I am working on an Access 2002 database where one of the tables has five required fields making up the key.
There is a form that is linked to this table which is used for adding new records.
There is a close button on this form that has the following code in it's OnClose event:
"DoCmd.close"
When the form is opened, no data entered and then the close button is clicked - nothing happens.
It used to work fine, until I recently upsized the database into a SQL Server database and now it's all gone horribly wrong.
If I close the form manually by clicking on the cross, I get this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Product', table 'LeasebookSQL.leasebook_user.leases'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. (#515) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The statement has been terminated. (#3621)
Can anyone please tell me how I can get the form to close without trying to save the record, especially when no changes have been made to the data on the form?
I need code that I can incorporate with the code below, that will notify a user when required fields are left blank so that they have to go back and fill it in before updating the record. Below are the objects (shown in the order they appear on the form):
If any of the objects above are empty, the user should be prompted to go back and fill them in setting the focus back to the first empty object (again the fields above are in order). If conditions are not met, do not run the code below. If the conditions are met then proceed with the code below.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim strMsg As String Dim iResponse As Integer
' Specify the message to display. strMsg = "Do you wish to save the changes?" & Chr(10) strMsg = strMsg & "Click Yes to Save or No to Discard changes."
I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank" Cancel = True Else ComboBox1.SetFocus End If End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?
I created this function to manage a MsgBox containing all required fields with no data:
Code: Function FormValidation(TheForm As Form) As Boolean Dim boolResponse As Boolean Dim strError As Variant Dim ctl As Control boolResponse = True strError = Null
[code]...
Then, I have a Form_BeforeUpdate event, where I wanna place the function, which contains also some VBA code to manage duplicates records:
Code: Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, dbs As DAO.Database, strICAO As String Dim ctl As Control, txtMsg As String
[code]....
Now, how to add the function in this event to get these two results:
1. if required fields are blank and I press OK on the MsgBox, the routine must stop; 2. the focus must go in the first required blank control.
I tried some options but I get different kind of malfunctions: no custom message for duplicate records but only the access default one, "go to next record" feature with tab key not working and so on.
I have pop up form for report selection. In my drop down i have certain reports that need to have start and end date.
I'm using this formula to show or hide start date field and end date field.
If Not [Report_Selection] = "VehiclesNotRecovered" Then StartDate.Visible = True EndDate.Visible = True
Else StartDate.Visible = False EndDate.Visible = False End If
I would like to give the user a pop message to warn him/her fill in the start and end date field when selecting reports other than VehiclesNotRecovered.
If startdate and enddate fields not filled in and they run a report - they will get an #error message.
a table which has several fields (ProjectID, Name, PM, Category, Date, Tester).
I am trying to find a way to count how many of the fields have been filled out and how many are null for a particular Project ID.
For example, ProjectID=27 has a Name and a PM but no more data so when I load the form I want the db to tell me 3 of the fields have been filled out for this project. This way I can calculate how many are empty (3 in this case)
I have a lot of fields that I want to make required entry only if one of the check boxes I have is blank. If the check box is blank then I don't want any entries to be required.
For example, I have a form that needs to be filled out only if a machine is running, if the machine is not running then only certain fields need to be filled out and the user will select the check box labeled "Machine not running".
BTW, I'm very new to Access and have no experience with implementing code, other than with excel.
On mij registration form I have the option to fill in the name and day of birth, email and GSM number of the partner off the main contact.
But to keep the form nice and clear, I only want to make the fields acceseble when the checkbox from [couple] is checkt OK.
How to make the fields and the Box around it Light Gray, so its very clear it issn't clickable.
The main coller is white BG and Green strokes. (see attachment) When the field [paar] 1 (couple in englisch) is OK then the fields in de eclips 2 are available And I want the collors of the stroke 25% black and de fields disabled.
One of the managers has requested to set up a form to enter the date at the top of the form and then enter in data for all the plants below for that day. I thought I could just use a form/subform combo with the date (and any other information repeated to all the plants), but the catch is, he wants a list of the plants to automatically populate when he enters a date.
The table would look something like this:
Form
Date
---------------------------------------
Subform (with all Plant names pre-filled for this date -- same list each time--and allowing him to fill in Sales and On Time Delivery).
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery Indianapolis Detroit Memphis Tampa
I have a form that I want to filter out certain records based on if a field has data in it or not. I tried using a macro and putting the field equals "IsNotNull", but that didn't work. I just asked me what "IsNotNull" is suppose to be. correct way to do this via macro?
I tried searching but was finding VBA with other filters being applied (which is not the case).
(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.
I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.
I have a ticket database where tickets are added to access with no priority scores on them. Over time, meetings and discussions, those tickets are given scores through a form on my database. What I would like to do is somehow add a timestamp that shows exactly when a ticket went from being unscored, to having a priority score assigned to it. Note, before the ticket is scored; the Priority Score field is still blank. Null?
An idea I had was to somehow put a timestamp on the "Priority Score" field in my form that will only timestamp when that field goes from being blank to when it gets a number for the first time. It will not change the timestamp when that number is changed down the road. (We edit the priority scores, but I only want to know when the ticket was actually scored for the first time. This is for reporting purposes, how many new tickets we score each month, etc)
Could I do something along the lines of assigning code to the BeforeUpdate value of my Priority field on the form? Although I'm assuming this would put up a timestamp any time the field is altered afterwords also.
I have two fields that are in short time format, and are saving the information to the table in short time format.
I then have a field that I have set to auto-fill under the chosen circumstances, with a text roughly as follows
Code: Dim Story As String Dim IDepTime DimADepTime IDepTime = [InstructedDeparture] ADepTime = [ActualDeparture] Story = "This person was instructed to leave at " & IDepTime & " but did not do so, instead departing at " & ADepTime & "which caused us a problem" me.txtnarrative.value = Story End Sub
This all works, however the times being displayed are in hh:mm:ss format, when I only want hh:mm format - how do I tell it the format I want?
I'm having problems with the required field option in my table. I have a form that writes to the table and has a validation of the fields built in the code. If the validation is true, then it will allow the record to be saved.
However, I've also set those same fields in the table to be a required field. Whenever I enter data in those fields in the form and click the save command button, I get a message back telling me one of the required fields cannot be null. The thing is, it is not null. I entered data into the field through the form. Whenever I change the required field option to no in the table the problem goes away, but shows up on the very next field in the list that is set to yes.
Validation occurs within the form that writes to the table, but I still would like to have the security of knowing the fields are required in the table as well, just in case someone tries to be sneaky and go directly into the table to enter/modify data.
Is there something I'm missing? Is this a bug? I've actually set up another database the same way and don't have any problems with it. I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there any way that you can have required fields in a form, but access will not look for the required fields until you try to exit the form. Basically; i have a form that users keep track of there work hours on specific parts. they leave the form minimized for most of the day. After they enter a record, they sometimes need to go back and edit a previous record, only they are on a new record and access will not let them go to a previous record unless they have the record fields entered.
I am fairly new to Access and trying to populate a text box based on whether other textboxes throughout the form contain a date or are null, so as I update the progress of work the textbox that I have located in the header will indicate the status of work flow, this is what I thought might work but I seem to be doing something wrong.
Code: Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate() Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Null, "New", "") Status = IIf([Date_Raised] Is Not Null, "Open", "") Status = IIf([Approved_Date] Is Not Null, "Approved", "") Status = IIf([Actioned_Date] Is Not Null, "Actioned", "") Status = IIf([Tested_Date] Is Not Null, "Tested", "") Status = IIf([Closed_Date] Is Not Null, "Closed", "") End Sub
I have a database where multiple users log in and work in 1 of 2 different forms. The 1st form in for initial data entry where users enter data then senter there initials and save each record. the other form is for QC'ing data that has been entered and they will add additional data to the form, then enter their initials and save the record.
How can I make it so that I can have a user once they log in to the database, it will autofill their initials? I have used a dropdown box before but it is not useful for people who have the same first name initial or worst, the same first and second initial because they end up selecting the wrong initials.
I do not currently have it set up where I have a login screen, I just have only forms visible to users when they enter data. Any easiest way to go about making this happen (I am just trying to shorten the amount of data entry that gets done).
Well guys, I don't know if this is possible or not, but maybe someone can guide me in the right path.
I have a data entry form that several employees use. I have certain required fields that are set on the form level. I have couple employees that I would like to have the ability to override these fields. I was thinking like using F10 key or other key combinations that will allow them to override the required fields in order to save the record.
Is this something realistic that I can accomplish in access, and if so, does anyone have a sample that can help me with this task? Thanks to all.
I am using Access 2000 I have set some fields in a table to required However it still allows the cell to be blank But if I type a space into the cell, then the rule kicks in
