Forms :: How To Close Multiple Form Instances

Mar 28, 2014

After creating multiple instances of a form how should they be closed so as to ensure that all of their assets are disposed of and there are no memory leaks? DoCmd.Close seems not to work because it expects a name string which would be the same for all instances of the form.

Since a form's name is a read only property it cannot be modified when the form is created so it doesn't uniquely identify a particular form instance. I've tried setting the form reference to Nothing which appears to work, but I'm not sure whether this is the correct technique and whether it disposes of everything cleanly.

Forms :: Multiple Instances Where Inactive Names Should Not Show On List

Mar 22, 2013

We have a form that will have one combo box for Associates (like Employee in the OPs DB) which I've got set to show only active Associates for new entry per the tips in the above thread, but we'll also have a combo box for Developer which I need to function the same way. I don't know how to add that part to the On Current event?

Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim strComboRowSource As String
If Me.NewRecord Then
strComboRowSource = "SELECT T_Associates.AssociateID, T_Associates.Associate, T_Associates.Active " & _
"FROM T_Associates " & _
"WHERE (((T_Associates.Active)=True));"

[Code] .....

Multiple Instances Of The Same Report

Jan 18, 2007

I am fixing a database that was previously built. It is use to show listings of items for sale. There is a form that displays all of the information about a particular listing, each with its own id code.

If I want to email a particular item and info to an email address i can, but i can only send one at a time. I click a button which then asks what format to save the report, i choose html, then it opens a new email message from Outlook and sets the file as an attatchment.

The problem is, i want to be able to send more than one listing at a time in the same email. But once the first listing is created and attatched i have to send that one before i can send another listing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multiple Instances Of Access To Allow For VPN Useage

Feb 22, 2007

I have a very elaborate Access 2000 application that uses three different SQL databases as the back end. Mostly the data is modified or selected via ADO connections.

The problem I am having is that recently users on Terminal Server are not able to open the application because for some reason the application is not allowing more than one copy of it to be opened at once. I checked everywhere and couldn't find anything that would not allow multiple instances but couldn't find anything.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Any help is greatly appreciated

Queries :: Possible To Have Multiple Instances Of Same Provider ID

Feb 9, 2015

I have a table called providers with the following 3 fields:

Provider ID
Cancellation Reason
Visit ID
Date

It is possible to have multiple instances of the same provider ID, cancellation reason and visit ID on the same date. I'm trying to count just 1 instance based on visit ID if there are multiple instances of the visit ID and reason on the same date. Select distinct doesn't seem to do the trick.

General :: Avoid Multiple Instances Of ACCDE

Jun 14, 2013

I have an Access 2007 mydb.accdb file. If I click on it, it starts up fine. If I click on it again, then focus goes to the already open db.

If I do the same but with the .accde of the same db, for each click a new instance opens. This is not good, in that a single user then can have multiple instances running without noticing it, and that might mess things up. What Windows setting to use, to convince Win XP that only one instance of mydb.accde should run, similar to the .accdb?

Unable To Open Multiple Instances Of Access 2003

Dec 20, 2005

Not sure if this is the correct forum but its worth a shot.

When I try to open any database, MS Access will hang if there is already another instance msaccess.exe running. I even tried opening two newly created blank dbs with the same result. Has anyone ever come accross this behavior?

I have tried repairinging/reinstalling/checking and unchecking "Windows in Taskbar option"

Thanks for any help!

Totals From Instances (not Of Instances)

Jul 21, 2006

I've come across an interesting problem a colleague has been trying to solve and even though I can 'see' what needs to be done and could probably program it on our mainframe, I'm really stuck on how to achieve the same results in MS Access

I'll do my best to explain the problem by showing an example of how the data exists in the DB and also how it 'should' be output on a report.

DATE OPERATOR COUNT

29/06/06 - Oper A - 32
29/06/06 - Oper B - 12
29/06/06 - Oper A - 10
29/06/06 - Oper C - 13
29/06/06 - Oper B - 10

The output needed however should read as follows

29/06/06 - Oper A - 42
29/06/06 - Oper B - 22
29/06/06 - Oper C - 13

Setting up a date selection shouldn't be a problem, its just adding the totals on each instance of each operator into one figure without ending up with a total of the number of times an operator appears on a date.

Any help and guidance about how best to approach this problem (macro/query/script) would be appreciated.

Forms :: Refresh On Form Close Using VBA

Sep 17, 2014

I have combo box that lists data from another form (frmCity) . If the required data in not in the list then frmCity is opened, a new record is entered and form closed. The combo box in the first form (which has remained open) does not show the new entry unless it is closed and re-opened. How can I get the new record to show without closing and reopening?

Forms :: Requery Form And Subform After Popup Form Close

Aug 19, 2013

I tried all sorts of permutations of the requery command but apparently I'm too dense to figure it out.

Form 1
subform 1 > button to open pop up form
subform 2
subform 3

I'm trying to requery a combo box (inside of subform 1) based on a table that is updated from the pop up form.

On pop up form close, what's the correct syntax for re-querying subform 1?

Forms :: Variable Number Of Instances Of A Subform

I have a subform that formats the data in a record in a particular 2D way. I want to use it a variable number of times on a single form. Is there any way to do that? I've tried using CreateControl, but access just says it can't add the controls I've requested -- with no reason given, of course.

Forms :: Filter Between Two Instances To Work Without Values?

Mar 25, 2013

The thing I've been trying to do is make it so that my form filters my records, and I'm trying to make a between function for it. My form is shown below in the attachment.

What I need to do is make it so that my form filters my records Between the two year boxes AND between the two Length boxes. But I need it so that if nothing is in the boxes, it shows all records, and if something is in only the Year boxes, it only filters the years and not the lengths.

Code:
Field: Length
Criteria: Between [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length1] And [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length2]

Then in a separate column I had

Code:
Field: [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length1]
Or: Is Null

This works fine if it's only for Length, but if I try to do the same for the MovieYear boxes, it screws up and just shows me no records...?

Forms :: How To Close A Form Without Saving A New Record

Feb 28, 2014

I have a form frmAddNewProject that is a Data Entry form.When you click Add Project on the form, it creates folders and copies files to a location and also creates new record(s) in the ProjectT table with appropriate information.Here is my code:

Code:

Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Dim FSO As Object
Dim FromPath As String
Dim ToPath As String
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim strType As String
Dim strYear As String
Dim strGPN As String

[code]....

Everything works fine till here. Now I would like to close the form but closing it gives me an additional empty record.

Code:

Dim ctl As Control
On Error Resume Next
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
ctl = ctl.DefaultValue
Next
Set ctl = Nothing

to remove all values, but then it just adds an empty record.Is there a way to close that form without removing my legitimate new records and without adding empty ones?

Forms :: Save Record And Close Form

May 16, 2013

I have a simple EXIT command button that runs these macro actions: save record, close form. I also have a SAVE command button that runs this macro action: save record. If a user closes the form without clicking either the EXIT or SAVE command buttons, will the record changes be saved in the datasource table.

I have found from testing that the data is always saved even if the user does not click the EXIT or SAVE buttons, but I wanted to be absolutely certain. Is this correct ?

Forms :: Form Is Changing Data On Load And Close?

Feb 8, 2014

I have designed a form using the wizard from a table which records transactions for an entity.

I have a Primary Key (auto number), entity id, transaction amount, description and date fields in the table.

I look up the entity using a list box, then populate unbound fields then use CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO in order to save the new record.

When I open the form for use, it automatically changes the entity id of a previously added record to the most recently selected entry in the list box. I am unsure why it does this. It seems to be editing previous records when you change the value of the list box.

Forms :: Return To Form If Fields Are Null On Close

Sep 4, 2014

I have a bound form that is used to enter company info (address, name, category...etc). When the user closes the form, if Company name, province or category are left blank, I warn them with a message box asking if they want to exit and undo changes, or return to the form to fill in the missing info.

When they choose the option of returning to the form, I get 2 errors. You must enter a value in "tblCompanies.category", and "You can't save the record at this time, do you want to exit without saving?". If I click "No" on the second warning, focus is set to the missing data control and I can continue working.

How can I prevent the record from being saved when I choose to return to the form to fill in the blank records?

Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Form_BeforeUpdate_Error
Dim Response As Integer
' Determine if required fields are populated.
If IsNull(Me.txtCompanyName) Then
Response = MsgBox("Company name is a required field. Do you wish to discard changes and exit?", vbYesNo,

[Code] ....

Then I closed the form, and re-opened it and my record was no longer populating the form fields.I've literally changed nothing bar one field that was changed from number to text.

Forms :: Stop Generating Message Boxes On Form Close?

Mar 6, 2013

I have some code (see below) that checks if the start date text box is blank or greater than the end date, and if so, generates a message box and sets the focus back to the start date textbox. There are command buttons on the form that open queries based on the date fields. This all works fine.

However, if the user changes his mind and closes the form without filling in the date field, the message box "Please enter a start date" pops up repeatedly. How do I specify that a text box is required UNLESS the user is closing the form?

Code:
Private Sub txt_startdate_LostFocus()
If ((IsNull(txt_startdate) Or (txt_startdate) = " ")) Then
MsgBox "Please enter a start date.", vbOKOnly

[Code].....

Forms :: Update / Requery Subform Through On Close Event Of Another Form

Aug 2, 2013

I am working with 2 forms and a subform.

frmTaskTracker -subfrmInbox (Datasheet View - based on a query)

frmUpdateInboxItem

subfrmInbox displays a summary of tasks on a task list. The user navigates to frmUpdateInboxItem from frmTaskTracker. After updating a record from frmUpdateInboxItem, it is possible that it the record in question will no longer meet the requirements to have it listed on subfrmInbox.

I have attempted to add code to the on close event of frmUpdateInboxItem to requery the sub form on frmTaskTracker but am not getting the syntax correct.

correct my code? Alternatively is there is a more correct way to do this, I'd be happy to learn it.

Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
Me.[frmTasktracker]![subfrmInbox].Requery
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmUpdateInboxItem"
End Sub

Forms :: Refresh A Combo Box On Close Event Of Edit Form

Apr 21, 2015

I have a Main form with a combo box that pulls names from a table. Alongside the combo box is a command button that opens a form which allows the user to edit the names in the table.

The problem: When a user edits a name and closes the edit form, the edit is not immediately displayed in the combo box. However, when the Main form is closed and reopened, the edit is properly displayed. Can I somehow refresh the combo box in the On Close event of the edit form?
