I'm getting an error on some fairly simple code attached to a form's Unload event, but I'm only seeing it when I switch my form to design mode. My code does look like it's working under normal conditions,I've attached a simplified database that reproduces the problem in all its glory. I've searched for similar problems and solutions but none have quite hit the spot.
The code is supposed to prevent users closing a form if they haven't entered at least one record in the subform. In my attached example, you shouldn't be able to close the form if you are currently on a Person record that has no linked Hobby record. Do do this, I have used the following code in the Unload event of frmPerson:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.frmhobby.Form.Recordset.RecordCount < 1 Then
Call MsgBox("you must enter at least one hobby for this person")
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
To see it working properly, go to Person record 3 (Laura Blackwood) which has no Hobby records, and try to close the form. You can't close it until you have entered a hobby for this person. As far as I can see the code works as expected.
Now navigate to Person Record 4 (Mary McArthur). Instead of trying to close the form, switch the form to Design View. You will get the following error: "Runtime error 2455: You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property form/report". Return to Form view and navigate to record 2 (Kevin Petersen), then switch back to Design View - same error. Interestingly, you don't ever get the error on Record 1. All this is exactly what happens on my real database too.
So I'm worried that my code isn't right despite appearances. I thought switching to Design View just goes through the same Unload-Deactivate-Close routine as when you close a form in a conventional way? I also know that subforms unload after forms, so since the code is attached to the Form, the subform should still be available to it and shouldn't result in a reference error.
Just wondering if anyone has come across this problem or might have suggestions for a solution.
I have a Form A that contains a Listbox populated using a query which uses another field on Form A as a parameter for query selection criteria. During the Unload process for this form MS Access pauses to request a value for the parameter instead of exiting from the Form. Why is it so and how can I stop it.
Additional notes - this form worked perfectly in Access97 but this problem is occuring now that I have moved to Access2000. I am running Access2000 on a WinXP platform.
I have a form that I use for navigation in my database. It consists of links to the left to swith between forms, and a subform in the middle. When a link to the left is clicked, I run code to switch the source fo the subform:
me.subfrmFrame.SourceObject = "frmSubCustodian"
I want the form to "remember" the last record the user was on, so I created a table and am writing the primary key of the form to the table on the form's unload event. Then, on the form's load event, I'm looking up that key from the table.
When I open and close the form by itself, not as a subform of my navigation form, everything works fine.
When I open the form from the navigation screen, everything is fine.
When I switch to another form on the navigation screen, however, I have a problem. No matter what record the form was on, it always writes the primary key of the very first record.
I have a form "NewMetalF" that has three combo boxes. The first one is used to choose "Precious Metal" or "Base Metal". The second one shows all the metals based on the first combo box. When I open the form in form view alone the combo boxes work flawlessly. I run the form "NewMetalF" within another form "NewExternalPartF" by clicking a button "AddMetal". When the button is clicked "NewMetalF" opens. The first combo box is selected, and when the second combo box is clicked the error "Enter Paramater Value" "Forms!NewMetalF!cboPreciousOrBase".
I have built a database which has a number of forms with a frm_PartNo subform in.When ever I click a button to load one of these forms I get the following error message: ECN Database v1.31 cannot find the referenced form 'frm_PartNo'. But when the form loads the sub form is there with all the related data !
A receive a compile error when an OpenForm macro action is executed. The error message is: The form you referenced may be closed or may not exist in the database. Microsoft Access may have encountered a compile error in a Visual Basic module for the form.
when i want to open the database in an access database i have the following error. you have as the event property setting the expression entered when open.This expression has caused an error amppu (database name) can not find the form that is referred to
I have been building a new db in my personal drive at work which has been working perfectly, until I transfer it to the main network drive so that others can use it.When I try to open it, I now get an error saying that windows cannot access the file (code 0x80070002) - although it does in fact open it anway, eventually.
I have removed and re-instated various bits of code, and discovered that it's linked to the 'Display Form' function within Access Options > Current Database, that I have used to open the form 'Homepage' when the db is opened. When the dropdown is set to 'None', the db opens fine, but when a form is selected, the error occurs. I have tried using an AutoExec macro to open the Homepage form, but this generates the same error too.
I try to open a web page with a form in access 2007. During the loading of the page it shows me 2 security error messages.
I tried to change the properties in Activex and especially the Silent property from No to Yes but this is not possible. In the next restart of the form restores the original settings.
When i open the same page with Internet Explorer it doesn't show any error. I have attached the database example to see exactly what happening.
I have an Access 2010 database with a form that allows me to input data which is saved into two tables (i.e. Orders and OrderDetails). I use a simple select query to bind the form to the tables.
When the form loads it asks for an order number, which it uses to pull details from the Orders table and auto-fill some fields on the form (these fields are not enabled as they are predefined, such as the order date).
So, when the order number is entered my VBA code does a Form.Refresh, which then breaks the code with the Run-time error 3022 - "The changes you requested to the table were not successful yada yada.." (I'm sure you all know the one)...
I have checked that there are no duplicated keys in my tables, I have checked that what should be indexed, is indexed. I have done a compact and repair on the database, and even created a new database and imported all the tables (used new data). Still get the same issue.
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 have a search form that's slightly modified search form modeled after the one available here on this site. It's a main form with a list box. I use the listbox to narrow down the results I want from the search function.
The search details are shown in a sub form that contains sub-sub forms
As seen in the code below, I am using the listbox to set a filter on the subform . Works famously until I search for something that does not exist in the database. I then receive runtime error 3075.
I believe it's related to the way I'm showing the details in the subform (by enabling a filter). If there is no record in the database that match the search criteria, I don't want any error messages or pop-ups and preferably would like the listbox to be blank.
Attached a screenshot of my form. red = main form green = subform blue = sub-subforms tan = obscuring the search results
Code: Private Sub SearchFor_Change() Dim vSearchString As String vSearchString = SearchFor.Tex SrchText.Value = vSearchString Me.SearchResults.Requery
I have designed a DB in access 2010 and it opens fine on my computer. However, when others I work with (who still have 2003) try to open the database, they get the following error: "An Error Has Occured Trying to Load The Form "Form Name" - Do You Wish to Continue".
When I click Yes, it brings up all of the VBA code in the background, but when i close all of that out, it still doensn't open.I am by no means an access expert.
I have a form with two subforms (the second is the child of the first). I want to filter a combo box in the second subform using the record of the first as the filter.
When I open the form from the object list I get this '2455' error. When I press "end" and the form opens the requery does what I want it to do with no further error, using this code in the "got focus" event of the combo box in the first subform:
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.
I have created a profiling form for my school. Each boy can access his form using his admission number ( Adno) which is the primary key. On the form are lots of sub forms - for things like favourite authors, clubs, teams played in etc - but these don't have a primary key ( as they are automatically linked to the Adno via the main form ). Unfortunately when several boys are filling in their own forms at the same time I keep getting error messages, one says that the data can't be updated and another says that there is a primary key problem.
I have just tried experimenting with placing a Chart control within a form (Access 2010). Although the chart ultimately seems to work (based on my one simple example), I'm getting an Error 1907 (Could not register font.......) each time I launch the database or reload or edit the form.
This error message is itself contained within a "Configuration Progress" screen for MS Office Prof + 2010 which seems to complete if I select Ignore the error message but runs again each time the database is launched (with the same error message showing up part way through). I am logged on as Administrator.
I created 1 query from all 3 tables, then created the form from that 1 query.Now when I enter data into the form and click to save it , it produces this error message:The Microsoft Database Engine cannot find a record in the tblGas with key matching fields 'tblMain_GasID.The tblGas does contain a field GasID, but does it mean that the field should be tblMain_GasID
I am relatively new to Access and VB. I am trying to create a log-in system that assigns a security clearance to each user and then restricts access to certain forms and reports based on security clearance. Right now, I have set up the log-in system - that seems to work fine. But when I try to lock the form based on security clearance, I get the 2450 - Form Not Found - error.
The code I am using on the form is as follows:
Private Sub Form_Open (Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 1 Then MsgBox "You do not have access to this form", vbOkOnly DoCmd.Close acForm, "formname" EndIf
In my database main form with subform. subform have query as recordsource.total of one of field in subform shown on main form. all is ok and show total correctly but when subform have no records then total field on main form shows #error. How to convert this value either into null string or zero(0).
I got an error msg on form with closing. I have a main form (SalesReturnOrDamaged) and subform (SalesReturnOrDamagedSubform).
i have used a VBA code on main form Close Command button as per shown in Code Tag. But that is not working and shown an error msg as per screenshot. how to change that VBA code for empty form close without save the record?
Code: Private Sub Close_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Close_Click If Forms![SalesReturnOrDamaged]![SalesReturnOrDamagedSubform].Form![ItemCode].Value = "" Then Forms![SalesReturnOrDamaged]![SalesReturnOrDamagedSubform].Form![Product].Value = "" Forms![SalesReturnOrDamaged]![SalesReturnOrDamagedSubform].Form![MRP].Value = 0 Or ""
I have used a command button placed next to the project name box which if clicked opens up a finance details form for the project name box.
Problem is if that project does not have any finance details it still opens up the form but just comes up as totally blank.
Is there anyway i can get an error message to come up and say "No matching data found for this project" when they click the command button to open up the finance form, but there is no finance data?
I have tried but unsuccessfully.
I entered this code
Private Sub Label75_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Label75_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contract Filtered"
If Combo22 = "" Then MsgBox "No Matching Data Found", vbExclamation
how to get a "sound" to occur everytime a certain message box pops up.I wrote the following code which currently allows the MsgBox to open when the criteria is met, BUT it does not make a sound when opening. I followed the instructions as per this link URL....
Private Sub Open_frmAccessories_Click() If (Me!txtProductGroup) = 9 Then MsgBox "This Product Does Not Have Any Accessories", -vbExclamation, "NO Accessories for this Product" Exit Sub Else
[code]....
I have attached a copy of the pop up box to show it is working correctly, albeit without the sound function. Curiously, if I click on any button in the Products main screen behind the Error Msg box, i.e. "New" or "Close" the SOUND occurs at that point!
