I'm trying to create a security measure that would prevent a user from accidentally paging down in a form and moving to the next record. I want to create an event macro that would fire if the user accidentally paged down into the next record. The macro would simply move back to the previous record.
What event would I use to build the macro ? What action would return to previous record ?
I have a Main form that has button that loads a new Pop Up form for entering new data that will display in the Main form. When all the data is entered I click on a button that Saves the data and exits the form and then runs Re-query on the main form returning to the record that was current before the requery.
I have the following code:
Private Sub cmdSaveTradeAndExit_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord 'Save the current record
DoCmd.Close 'Close the current form
Dim CrId As Integer
CrId = Forms!frmTransactionMainActivePopUp.CurrentRecord
Forms!frmTransactionMainActivePopUp.Requery
DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!frmTransactionMainActivePopUp, acGoTo, CrId
End Sub
But I am getting the following error:
Run-time error '2498':
An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments
And the following is in yellow in the debug:
Code:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!frmTransactionMainActivePopUp, acGoTo, CrId
I have just made a change to one of the forms by adding a button (by copying the only other button on the form) to cancel any changes and close the form. However, as soon as I added it I started getting the error message in the title. Please attachment LA Err1 for the full message. I also changed the caption on the other button on the form from "Close Form" to "Save && Close Form" this button is now giving the same error.
I have Compacted and repaired the DB on several occasions to no avail. I have deleted the procedures from the module and recreated them using the properties window - still get the error. I have deleted the buttons from the form and recreated the both via the object wizard and without it. Nothing I have tried has made any effect.
I am having a problem in my access database. I have a a form called Compliance Register. When this window opens it lists all of the requirements of a particular department. There is an ID and Source ID(this field can contain the same number such as multiple 17's). The descriptions match up to what is supposed to be shown. However when I double click on the item, it brings up a Compliance Status window. This is where things go wrong.
It shows the status listed as the first Source ID that matches the number, but does not seem to also be matching up the ID as well It must match both ID and Source ID since Source ID can have the same number multiple times down the list..
Here is what is under the Event Procedure for the double click.
Private Sub ListRequirements_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_ListRequirements_DblClick
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Compliance Status"
[Code] ......
Under stlink criteria, i need it to not only pull the ID, but it has to have a "AND" Source ID. I need it to pull the record that matches BOTH numbers.
when the Form Property "selectionchange" kicks in?I am trying to use this to run an event procedure. I have a sub form datasheet which contains a date, and when the selection is changed from one record to another in the sub form, I would like to run an event procedure that updates certain fields on the main form, according to the date.I have put msgbox in the event procedure, but it doesn't trigger when the selection is changed? or am I misunderstanding the property?I have also tried got focus, lostfocus, beforeupdate, but they only trigger when the record is changed, not just when the selection is changed.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI made an On Change Procedure on a textbox, so everytime I input a character, it will trigger the Me.Requery.
However, after that the event, the mouse cursor moved to the beginning of other field. I want it to stay at the end of the textbox so I can enter a full word, how do I do that?
Code:
Private Sub Text73_Change()

Me.Filter = "[Project Name] Like " & Chr(34) & ProjectSearch & "*" & Chr(34)

Can someone help? I am working on an event database (based on Microsoft 2003 event database template). At present when I register attendees, I can preview an invoice which is generated based on the information I have entered.
I have set up another option to preview a Letter of Confirmation based on this same principal. As I am "Visually Basic" challenged, I simply 'copied & pasted' the event procedure and made the changes as needed to ensure the correct report was opened (ie not the Invoice report but Confirmation Letter report).
However, when I click the button to open preview the letter, the "Print Invoice" box also opens up (as it does when previewing the invoice). I don't want this box to open as I don't need to enter any details.
Can someone please have a look at my VBA event below to see what I would need to delete to stop the "Print Invoice" box from popping up.
Private Sub LOC_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ConfirmationLetter_Click
If Me![Attendees Subform].Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "Enter attendee and registration information before previewing the Confirmation Letter."
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "ConfirmationLetter", acPreview, , "[RegistrationID]=" & Forms![Attendees]![Attendees Subform].Form![RegistrationID]
End If
Exit_ConfirmationLetter_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_ConfirmationLetter_Click:
If Err <> 2501 Then
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
Resume Exit_ConfirmationLetter_Click
End Sub
Many thanks for any help.

In my database I track a program called Bridge. Once you open bridge you can have anywhere from 1 to 7 "Sessions". Each bridge is assigned a number IE LT175A. If there are mulitple sessions they are numbered LT175A, LT175B, LT175C etc. I have a check box in my database that shows if bridge is installed on that PC. If it is then my section for session numbers are visiable, if bridge is not checked then the session numbers section isn't visiable. I currently have my Event Procedure in the After Update section. My code works because if I unclick on bridge my sessions disappears. However when I go to the next record if bridge is checked then my sessions are visiable but on the next record where it isn't checked it still displays the session section. So it isn't adjusting itself from record to record. Does my code need to go someplace else or am I doing something else wrong?
Here is the code I have:(and it's under After Update)
Private Sub Bridge_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Bridge = False Then
Me.BridgeSession_1.Visible = False
Me.BridgeSession_2.Visible = False
Me.BridgeSession_3.Visible = False
Me.BridgeSession_4.Visible = False
Me.BridgeSession_5.Visible = False
Me.BridgeSession_6.Visible = False
Me.BridgeSession_7.Visible = False
ElseIf Me.Bridge = True Then
Me.BridgeSession_1.Visible = True
Me.BridgeSession_2.Visible = True
Me.BridgeSession_3.Visible = True
'Me.BridgeSession_4.Visible = True
'Me.BridgeSession_5.Visible = True
'Me.BridgeSession_6.Visible = True
'Me.BridgeSession_7.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

In one of my forms, i have this event procedure:
Private Sub Gross_Com_LostFocus()
If Gross_Com.Value >= 1000 Then
Full_Com.Value = [Gross_Com] * 0.2
Else
Full_Com.Value = 0
End If
End Sub
Is it possible to put such code in a report and query? If so, how?
Thanks a million!
Cheers!

Can you step into an Event Procedure line by line in Access? I toggled the Breakpoint at the End Sub of the Event Procedure, clicked in the middle of the sub, and pressed F8. Nothing! I do this all the time in Excel.
View 2 Replies View RelatedTry this one guys,
I have a form based on a Query with Comboboxes reading a Table.
the Combo's populate Textboxes with code as:
Private Sub Combobox1_AfterUpdate()
Me.Textbox1=Combobox1.Column(1)
End Sub
Combo bound to column 1,Row source=table.
This was created in Access 2000 and works fine, but when tried in '97 Textboxes are not populating.
I cannot figure out what is wrong.
(Need it in '97 for work purposes)
Does this happen on any key or can I specify the return key. If so how?
Thanks
I am trying to figure out how to manipulate the On Delte event of a subform.
I can delete the record but I need to have fields on the main form reflect the changes. Can any one help me?
Error Message:
The expression On Delete you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, thename of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
Basically I think this message is telling me that I can not modify the deleting procedure as I wish too. If this is true can you tell me where I can do that.
here is the very basic code that i am using.
This is the subform code
Option Compare Database
Dim main As Form_frmOrders
Private Sub Form_Delete(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo err
Dim wght As Double
Dim pallet As Double
wght = .Total_Weight.Value
pallet = main.Total_Pallets.Value
If Weight.Value <> 0 Then
wght = wght - Weight.Value
MsgBox wght
Else
pallet = pallet - Quantity.Value
MsgBox pallet
End If
err:
MsgBox err

End Sub

I have a procedure to export a record to excel. One of the fields is a date field and its set at medium format i.e. dd-mm-yyyy. That is how it appears i the associated tables and form.I want to include that date in part of the exported filename.I created a string:
Code:
strday = Forms![frm_Profile]![frm_Detection]![TrainingDate]
But the procedure is stopping because access is looking at the date as dd/mm/yyy. I think the reason its failing is because you cant name a file with a forward slash.Is there some way I can format the string at all?
Hello,
I have an "After Update" event procedure for a field on a form that calls a VBA sub. When I use a different VBA sub to input a value in the above mentioned field, the "After Update" event does not occur, even thought the data in the field has been changed. (Of course if I manually enter the data, the field "After Update" event works.)
Is there a flag or condition that needs to be set in my VBA sub to let the field realize that it has been changed? Or possible a way to call the fields AfterUpdate Sub?
I tried having a my sub call the AfterUpdate sub to see what would happen, but didn't get it to work. I got a bunch of error and didn't feel like this was really the way to go.
I also could just duplicate all the code in the AfterUpdate sub for the field, but we all know that that is not a good idea.
Thank you for any help.
hi,
I placed 64 color boxes in form.
instead of assigning event procedure for each and every boxes (for example, onclick event), I wish to assign it programmatically by using a loop.
How to do this?
thanks.

Hi All,
I created an Event Procedure on the After Update event for a control in a continuous form. Basically, if certain conditions are met, I want it to disable another control. It works perfectly, except it is disabling the controls for all the records instead of just that record.
Does anyone know how to get it to just update that record? I've been researching and cannot figure it out!
Thanks in advance for any and all help :)

I have two forms:
frmOpeartions
frmManagers
frmOperations allows the user to assign a manager to an operation by selecting the manager record from a combobox. Occasionally the user may need to setup a new Manager record if one hasn't been setup already. In this case there is a "New" "button" (it's actually a label with an on click event) that the user can click to open frmManagers and add the new manager record.
The code to open frmManagers is:
Private Sub lblNewManager_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmManagers", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acDialog
Forms!frmManagers!cboMoveTo.Visible = False
Forms!frmManagers!lblManagers.Visible = True
End Sub
Once frmManagers is open the user creates the new Manager record and then closes the form using a similar label with an on click event:
Code:
Private Sub lblClose_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmManagers", acSaveNo
End Sub
frmMangers also has an OnClose event that will refresh any comboboxes on other forms that refer to tblManagers to make sure that new Manager records will be available immediately for the user to choose from:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms("frmPlants").IsLoaded Then
Forms!frmPlants!cboPlantManager.Requery
Forms!frmPlants!cboQCManager.Requery
[Code] .....
So the problem comes when the user clicks the Close label (acting like a button) on the frmManagers. The code successfully closes the form and the on close event successfully refreshes any comboboxes on forms that may be open, but then for some reason it attempts to run again or perhaps continue running the onClick event that opens frmManagers. Since the form is already closed it gets hung up on trying to change the visible properties of the controls and the code fails.
I need to know how to auto enter the date of the previous record into a new record. I have this db for my vehicle log sheets and I submit monthly a claim for the business km from my company. I usually cant remember the date of the previous claim and have to scroll back until I find the field with a date. It will be useful if the date was copied into every new record until I edit the date when I submit the claim. What I ask is during the new month all the dates will be the same until I submit the claim. I do not know how to do this, and yes I have done a search.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have encountered several times, and now, that after using any "cut and paste" or "copy and paste" on VBA code in the event sub, even for a few words, Access does not allow me to exit when I answer 'Yes' to save the changes. It forces me to respond "No" to exit and re-enter any changes again without using copy or cut and paste.
This is very troublesome and error-prone in program development that the program statements cannot be moved or copies to another location of the program module.

I tried to dynamically set image OnClick property to function with couple of attributes. Everything works well, but... it launches the function automatically without any mouse click! What is causing this? I want to execute the function only on the result of mouse click.
Piece of code:

Private Function fclick(u)
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2"
Forms!Form2.Image0.Picture = u
End Function
I have a form that has several sub forms and what I want is that if the user chooses Plan Name in the main form "No Fault" or 'Workers Comp". I want message to pop and go to the field in the subform to enter data but I keep on getting an error.

If ([Plan Name] = "No Fault") Then
MsgBox "Enter additional information in No Fault form before continuing."
DoCmd.GoToControl ([NoFaultWCompsubForm]![Attorney Name])

It says the action or method requires a control name argument?
What am I missing?
