I have a form that has validation rules, etc, and I want to let the user close it with custom error handling, so I was building a validation procedure for a form close button. The thing is, whether using Isnull, len()=0, or me.field.value = "", it only works until a value is entered. If the user enters a value, the form passes validation, even if the user then backspaces the data out. The only reasonable way to close the form as I see it is to check whether the record has been saved (via recordset),the user their changes will be lost (msgbox vbyesno), then use the undo command to clear the form making it safe to close it. I feel this is safe because my form validation will cover the save command.
I have a logon form that always contains a value in the user name and password fields. How can I do it that these two fields are empty when the logon form is displayed? When I put this code in a program text12.value="" then it delete user name in database.
(Access 2013). I deleted an old text box cell on a form and then I created a Combo Box from the design controls and it worked, but underneath it, the old label of the text box is still there, except now it's just described in the properties as an 'empty cell'. It still has the old text description showing on the form, but there is no caption field in the F4 properties.
I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, including closing the database and running a repair, but nothing works. I can select it, but I can't delete it or move it and I can't click into it to create a new label, hovering over it just produces the 'selected' cross hairs.
I have a form which is for searching for and then viewing a record based on a text box and pressing enter. This is working fine. My ID field is 4 digits and when I change the 4 digits and press enter it shows me the details for the record in all of the other boxes:
Private Sub txtJobID_AfterUpdate() If (txtJobID & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
[code] ....
My question is, as this is not a data entry / additions / deletions form (I have editing and filters to yes though) How do I get it to load empty? Not on a new or blank record but empty until I have typed my 4 digits. Just to clarify, my txtJobID box is empty on load but all of the other fields show the first record.
I would like to count a field if another is empty. I have 2 fields "registered" and "Started" and "closed"I would like to count all the fields "registered" if the field "started" is empty. I also want to do it with "started" if "closed" is empty.
I have created a form with a list view (active-x) to be able to control colors, etc in a list.
When I open my form, it is already information (three rows) in the list view. This despite the fact that I have shut down the access application and even shifted the database to another computer.
I can of course delete the elements with ListItems.Clear when I open the form, but I'd rather like that they did not show up at all.
Where these "default-elements" are stored, so I can remove them from the list view once and for all?
I am working on MS Access program where i import data from Excel and i would like to generate a report in MS Access where the fields are empty. Like the MS Access generate a table of errors when we import data and shows information like field name and row number along with Type Conversion label. Can i generate similar table from an MS Access table where fields are null.
i removed the DIsTINCT in my query to move some field to be updateable on the form. Once I did that my detail section of my form was empty ..why and how do I fix this problem.
I always have a problem with input forms in Access in that I usually end up with an empty excess record which is being created because I do not know how to program this correctly.
I have a Purchase Order Receipt form (frmPurchase). When I receive a certain quantity of an article associated with a lot number (or a serial number) I have another input form opening up (frmLotorSerial), passing to it through Openargs, the article and the quantity received.
Say we receive 10 units of which we want to register the serial number, I want the user to be able to enter a maximum of 10 units (could be 10 records if each record = 1 serial number, but it could be less than 10 if we have several units per lot number), and not one more, into this frmLotorSerial.
The record looks like this: -key -artno (article) -recqty (quantity received) -date -warehouse -lot number
I used the lost_focus event on lot number to check whether the total received quantity in this form matches the total passed to it from the Purchase form, and if it does to stop the input. Since I could not close the window in the code of this event (error 2585) I moved the close command to the current event of the form.
Doing this closes the form all right, but it always creates one record extra, which of course does not carry any information, apart from the date which has a default value of now.
How should I program/what events should I use to: -test that the user should not go any further (total received in frmLotorSerial = total received in frmPurchase) -close the window and, above all, not create this extra record.
I have a query that appends records to a table with a constant numer of fields. so sometimes I have fields with no data. is there any way to create query which selects only fields with data.
I have an Input form that does not clear the fields after I hit the Save button. Data Entry is set to YES. If I use the navigation bar, there is no problem, but I would like to have the fields empty after hitting the Save Button, so that the navigation bar can be removed. What is wrong?
I am trying to make a query with two tables. Each row consist of a student ID, their name and all their personal information. Both tables are exactly the same. But one table is a link table. That link table gets update every so often from an outside program and the other table is not linked. I want to be able to run a query that updates certain fields called "address changes". I have figured out how to find the updates, but I am having a problem with a field that is blank. If I have a field in the non-linked table that is empty but there is information in the linked table, it does not see it. Is there a way to get around this empty field problem?
This is working fine as long as I input the values for all the fields...when some values are missing, I get the error that Access can't append the query due to validation rule violations...got no clue what to do !
I have a table with a field 'Fax number', type: text (since occasionally we write a comment in there, like 'prohibited').
Some records have fax numbers, others are empty.
I want to find all records which do have a fax number. So I wrote into the Query: "is not null", expecting to get only the records which have a fax number or some text in them.
In fact, all records came up in the query, empty as well as non-empty fax fields.
I was wondering if the 'empty field' had a blank space in them, but could not find any. Tried backspace key, but there was nothing to backspace on.
I used the find-replace utility and searched for single space in Whole Field. It picked out quite a few records, but not all - so something invisible seems to be there.
However, when I opened the 'replace' window of find/replace, and had the replace window empty, then clicked 'replace', the msg came 'Access cannot find the specified text'.
What am I doing wrong? What do I have to do to get the query to work?
In my table, I got text fields and numeric fields, however, sometimes, user put an empty field in some records which I disliked. I try to put some checking such as following syntax to check those empty field but nothing happened.
1) If len(NAME) = 0 THEN error message : for TEXT field checking 2) IF len(name) = NULL then error MESSAGE : for TEXT field CHECKING 3) IF NAME = "" then error message : for text field checking 4) IF LEN(AMT) = 0 THEN error message : FOR NUMERIC field checking 5) IF LEN(AMT) = NULL then ERROR MESSAGE : for numeric field checking 6) IF AMT = "" THEN error message : for numeric field checking 7) IF AMT = NULL then ERROR message : for numeric field checking
I am creating a query with criteria for a dates column. The column cotaining dates in my Table has many empty fields. I want to limit the criteria for my dates to >#1/1/2004#, but I don't want Access to exclude all the empty fields because I want all the data displayed for the purposes of my report.
What do I do? I'm not terribly familiar with Access, so please explain as completely as possible. Thanks in advance!
I have a hourly report I need to run and one of the records will always be filled with a name of the employee. I need to hardkey some data in every day and instead of changing who is there that day I would like to be able to enter in, for example, sales data in a seperate record and when I go to create the report it will exclude any employee names that have 0 sales data or a blank record. so the table would be something like:
I have a query which is supposed to search for all engines with a power rating between a user-specified range ('Rated Power'). The results should state all of these engines along with a few more related details ('System_ID_No', 'Project No', 'Rated Speed', 'Other Ratings' and 'Cylinder Capacity') that are useful to know. However, the problem arises when these other fields are empty. If empty, the related engine results do not appear in the final results spreadsheet. How do I make sure they are included aswell?
SQL:
SELECT tblProjectOverview.System_ID_No, tblProjectOverview.[Project No], tblProjectOverview.Customer, tblEnginePerformance.[Rated Power], tblEnginePerformance.[Rated Speed], tblEnginePerformance.[Other Ratings], tblEngineDefinition.[Cylinder Capacity] FROM (tblProjectOverview INNER JOIN tblEnginePerformance ON tblProjectOverview.[System_ID_No] = tblEnginePerformance.[Sytem_ID_No]) INNER JOIN tblEngineDefinition ON tblProjectOverview.System_ID_No = tblEngineDefinition.System_ID_No WHERE (((tblEnginePerformance.[Rated Power]) Between [Enter minimum power rating (kW):] And [Enter maximum power rating (kW):]));
I have some fields in form that most of the time have data in them. Now comes that when there is no data, there should be one different field filled in with "None."
The client could have 3 types of products, but when he does have none, the "None." should appear. Another catch is that I have the titles for the products on a textbox above the products. Is it possible to have them not appear in the report if the client has no products?
I guess that it could work like in excel with an IF statment. If no values found, then keep those text boxes from appearing on the report and put a text with "None."
I have a report that has the addresses from the client and auditor on the same level. The address of the auditor is on the left side and the client on the right side. They have both the same layout:
Auditor - client Attn auditor - attn client etc.
When the Attn for the auditor is empty, it will show and empty space between auditor name and auditor address. All the fields have the can shrink to yes, but if they are on the same level in the report, the one have text in it, forces the empty space.
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)
