Forms :: How To Stop OpenArg Code When Field Is Already Populated
Sep 4, 2013
I have an order form that auto-populates details from the customer table into adderss and contact controls. But I don't want it to auto-populate when the underlying order table already has data in the related fields. Here is the code I use on Load form event...
======
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Use this version if the ID is a number
Dim x As Variant
Dim strControl As String
Dim lngID As Long
'If parameters exist, use them
If Len(Me.OpenArgs) > 0 Then
I tried putting the following code in the form unload procedure, but although it does generate the correct message, it doesnt stop the form from closing.
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) If [Starttime] > 0 And [Admin_time] = 0 Then response = MsgBox("Please click on the stop button to stop the clock") Exit Sub End If end sub
If the above condition holds, I want the user to click on the stop button before they close down the form. I'm guessing that the form is already commited to closing before the unload event? :o
I have a number of tables in my database, and they're linked in with a form. I'd like to have a field in a form that's populated automatically based on what's inputted in a different field.For example, I've got one table with names and descriptions on widgets (name in column A, description in column B).
Widget 1 This widget is blue Widget 2 This widget is green Widget 3 This widget is yellow
When I'm in my form, I want when I select Widget 1 to have the corresponding text (This widget is blue) appear in a field below.
I am going round in circles here; I have a form which has certain text fields that need to be populated before a user can click a command button named 'Record Movement' that opens up another form. What I want to do is disable the 'Record Movement' button until these fields are populated. I am using Access 2010.
I have a form, combo box selection, when i make a selection, all the info is good on all my tabs, which holds the subform.My issue is, on one of the subform, it's a data entry form, where I want it to be on a new record page. instead it list all records. I want my users to see a blank page, but have one field populated. is this possible?
1) blank data entry page, but with a populated field?When a CU Name is selected,I want the (Enter Note) tab to go to a data entry or last page or new page.I have tried putting it to data entry form, but the CU Number will not populate.
How do you prevent access from adding a new record when u input data in the current record or tab to the next field? My database is set up to open with a form where the user picks his name and then a week ending date once that is complete u open a new form where the name and date auto populate along with other fields to fill out such as job charge, charge type , times charged for each day of the week. But I don't want access to create a new record everytime the person inputs or tabs..... .
Ok - really need some help here. I have searched and searched but i think my problem is slightly different to the ones i am finding.
Basically i have a form and i want to force users to fill in one out of 4 tick boxes. If none of them are ticked when they press the close button i want the form to stay open and a message box come up.
I can get the message box part to work but the form still closes down.
The reason for this is that when the form closes it goes to another form that is linked to it by a unique ID number. This works by the following code.
Private Sub BTN_INVIS_Click()
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
This code checks the boxes and generates the message box if none are ticked - that works great. However it doesnt stop the second part of the code (the move to the next form) from executing if the boxes arent ticked.
Would really appreciate it if someone could help me - i'm fairly new to coding so the whole database is a bit cobbled together (mostly with help from this forum!).
I have an excel file, and am trying to import it, and once when I have imported it, am checking for a condition with While Not rs.EOF, it works fine for the purpose of looping, but it does not stop when the records are over., it is additionaly printing 19 null statements, where I beleive it, should not be.
I had to put a breakpoint into my VBA code in one of my apps to debug a problem I was having and inspect the variable values. All was well until I finished the debugging process and tried to eliminate my breakpoints. However, the next time I ran the application, the code stopped as if one of the breakpoints was still active. I closed the application and reopened it (even rebooted the computer) and the code continues to stop in the same spot in the program. The only thing I can think of to do is to create a new empty Access database and import all the objects from the old one. I'm thinking the database must be corrupt and this is all I know to try.
Is there a way (other than using Global Variables) to pass multiple OpenArgs to a subsequent form?
For instance.... we have 3 different shifts listed (1,2,3) at my workplace... and when a supervisor runs a report from the startup form, would need to pass a date AND the shift number to the resulting form.
i.e.,
DoCmd.OpenForm "Performance Stats",,,,,OpenArgs:dteDate=txtStartDate : intShift=txtShift, etc, etc.
I'm sub-novice when it comes to Access I'm trying to get calculated data in a field in a sub table to autofill in a field in a related table. So all of the data in 'total hours' column is calculated by the variable inputs in the 'hours' fields. Once there, I want it to feed itself into the 'total hours' field on the main table. Is that possible? Also - the 'total hours' field in the sub table won't calculate anything unless a value is placed in EVERY 'hours' field in the same sub table (e.g. 0).
This is my first post. Thank you for reading it. And thank you in advance for your assistance.
I have an invoice table and a payments table. One invoice can have many payments (a deposit, final payment etc). The relationship is created.
I have a form with tabs that hold subforms. One of the tabs contains fields from the Invoice Table (i.e. Invoice Number, Invoice Amount, Total Paid). One other tab has a subform that contacts fields from the Payments table (i.e. Invoice Number, Check Number, Check Amount). I would like to auto-populate the Total Paid field in the Invoice Tab with the SUM of the Check Amount from the Payments tab BY Invoice Number.
This doesnt seem to difficult but I'm having trouble with it. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
On the first form I have a button with the following OnClick event :
Private Sub Rispondi_Click() acbReceiveMail On Error GoTo Err_Rispondi_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "frmSendMail"
[Code] ....
On the form opened upon click ("frmSendMail") I am trying to populate the "cboTo" combobox with the "txtFrom" value from first form. In the OnLoad event I have written :
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.cboTo = Me.OpenArgs End Sub
Anyway after clicking the button that should open "frmSendMail" I get a popup saying : "An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments" (run-time error '2498') ....
i would like to sum up 5 fields and save (or just show it in the form view is enough really) in a seperate field, i have managed to sum the 5 fields, but it summed up all 5 fields in all records, i'd like to have my form show the sum for the record, not the table.
it would be ideal that it would refresh when one of the 5 fields data changes, i.e from 1000 to 2000. again updating in the form view is what is needed.
I am trying to create a query that returns records whether a field has data or not...
There are three fields in question, SSN, DOB (this is a date field), POB (this is a foreign key representing a state in the query shows the actual state). Now unless the criterion is different then I just need the answer for one I can reproduce.
I would like to do this in the criteria box in the query.
The query pulls from one table, some of the employees in this table have the three fields populated some don't. I would like the query to return all employees...
I can add to my make table query UDate: Date() that will add a populated field to the output table that has today's date in it.
I can also add something similar like this for example V_Num: [V_Number] and when ran, will prompt with a dialogue box to add some data, it will then create the table with that new field name and populated with the text from the dialogue box.
But how can I automate this to skip the dialogue box and just add it to the expression?
I have a form for 2800 different records. I want to auto populate 4 text boxes based on the value of 1 combo box but when I change the data on 1 form, all the forms show the same data. I want to be able to able to change the data on each form and save separately.I have Table with Tech Initials(PK), Full Name(689), CellNum(691), TestGaugeSN(630) and Cal Exp Date(632). Want to use Tech Initials to populate the rest.
Here's what I'm using:
Private Sub Combo687_AfterUpdate() Me.Text689 = Me.Combo687.Column(1) Me.Text691 = Me.Combo687.Column(2) Me.Text630 = Me.Combo687.Column(3) Me.Text635 = Me.Combo687.Column(4) End Sub
I am trying to use a combo box to control which table a data entry form will write data to. I want to create a form that has a combo box to select from a top level table that I will call "Stores". Once a "Store" is selected from the drop down, the next field on the form will be a data entry field. The data entered in that field will be written to the table selected by the preceding combo box.
So, basically I would have say Wal-Mart, Macy's, Sears, K-Mart and etc, listed in my "Stores" table. Once I select one of the stores from the drop down, I would then enter a "department" name in the data entry field and based on which store I selected from the previous combo box, the data would be written to that stores department table (which each store will have its own department table), e.g., WalMartDepts, MacyDepts, SearsDepts, etc...
I have a form for data entry that have multiple comboboxes. I am trying to get one combobox to base its "list" on an entry from a previous combobox. The first combobox is based on a QuantityType table and has four options.
The next combobox is based on a ProductDesign table and will have close to fifty options. I want to limit the ProductDesign combobox based on the QuantityType selection which will give the QuantityTypeID. This will refer to the QuantityTypeID linked to the ProductDesign table.I have created a query that looks like this:
SELECT Product_Design.Product FROM Product_Design, Quantity_Type WHERE Product_Design.QuantityTypeID = Quantity_Type.QuantityTypeID AND Quantity_Type.QuantityType = [Forms]![Product]![Qty_Type];
This Query works and if I simply run the query I get the needed information from it.What I would like to do with this query is to populate the ProductDesign combobox with this data.I have tried putting the query in the RowSource field but I get an empty combobox without the data. The strange this is that the combobox must be getting something from the query because the length of the combo box varies based on my QuantityType selection. I.E. if I select "Single" in the QuantityType, the ProductDesign dropdown shows three empty places for data whereas if I select "Multiple" in the QuantityType I see that there is ten empty places for data.getting the combo box to actually show each option?
How does one store the value derived from a combo box to another text box in a form?E.g. Supplier name is a combo box. The combo box has 2 columns, supplier and supplier ID.the supplier name stores the supplier in its own text box.When you select the supplier, the supplierID appears in another text box.I need to store this supplier ID.The control source is =[suppliername].[column](1) When I look up the table, the supplier is captured in the supplier name but the supplierID is not captured in the supplier ID field.
I am having a problem with calculated fields that are populated on the main form from the subform not saving to the table the main form is linked to.
I created a Purchase Order table that has information on what emplyee created the record, reason for order, customer information if its ordered for a customer, creation date, eta date and notes while the Purchase Order details table is for information on the supplier, product item number, product name, quantity and cost. they are linked by the Purchase Order number which is the primary key in the Purchase order table. it all looked good so i made the form with the Purchase Order Detail as the subform, i got the form all working great and how i wanted it but then i decided i wanted the supplier name and the subtotal of the cost in the main form populated or calculated by the values in the subform.
I copied the fields i wanted populated in the main form to the subform footer and added the calculation for the subtotal then added the formula to the source code on those fields in the main form so the values would populate. it all worked great on the form and the values populated as they were supposed to so i saved the record and went to look at the tables and i found that while the values in the calculated fields that I populated from the subform showed up in the form they didnt save to the table while the non calculated fields saved fine. i did some experimenting and found that if i delete the code and put the data source back to the table in the form and just type something in the text box it would save to the table but not if i had the code in and let it populate.
an example of one of the codes i used to populate the data in the main form is:
when i change records, my subform that has a memo field, shows the memo field data is "highlighted". i can make a mistake and hit any keyboard key and the memo field data will get erased.
is there a way to prevent such a problem?
if not, is there a work around. eg, hide the memo field until needed for more input? ideas on both issues?
I have a form that requires at least a transaction code (from a combo box) and a total value field (numeric) to be entered.I have used the following code but when I click OK on the message box the form is closed.I want it to remain open so the user can enter the fields and properly save the record. As the code is in the Before Update event it does the same thing if I have Cancel = true.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) ' Check to make sure the TransCode has been selected and the total field doesn't = zero 'If Me.cboName.ListIndex = -1 Then ' MsgBox "A value is required for ...." ' Me.cboName.SetFocus ' Cancel = True
