Forms :: Label On Form Will Not Update As The Code Runs In The Background

Mar 17, 2014

I have a userform that pops up when I am implementing a VBA subroutine. The nature of the form is simply to update the user what progress through the operation the code is using a label called lblProgressText.

So, I have a form called frmProgress and in my loop I use:

Code:
DoEvents
Form_frmProgress.lblProgressText.Caption = Format(rsLongItems.PercentPosition / 100, "0.00%") & " - Long items"
Form_frmProgress.pbProgressBar = rsLongItems.PercentPosition
Form_frmProgress.Requery
Form_frmProgress.Refresh
Form_frmProgress.Repaint

I know I don't need the .requery, .repaint and .refresh lines but I put in there just to check it wasn't that causing the issue.

When my code runs, the form is opened using:

Code:
Form_frmProgress.Modal = False
DoCmd.OpenForm Form_frmProgress.Name, acNormal, , , , acWindowNormal

The form Popup property is set to Yes.

The lblProgressText control just wont update (but earlier today it was so maybe I have broken something).Btw, all this code is run from a Module, not in the form object.

Forms :: Onload Event - Open A Form And Update Caption Of A Label

Apr 15, 2013

I have some code on a button that opens a form and changes the caption of a label:

Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRepair", , , , , , "CancelNo"
Forms![frmRepair].Form.[lblmain].Caption = "Missing Parts"

This code works well and frmRepair opens with the updated label caption. The original value was "Return/repair Information"

A few other things need to change on frmRepair depending on this caption as well as the values of some other fields, so I use the following code in the onload event (although I later tried the onopen even)

Code:
'Disable labels button if there is no RMA and the item is a repair
MsgBox Me.lblmain.Caption
If Me.lblmain.Caption = "Return/Repair Information" Then
Me.txtRMA.SetFocus
MsgBox Me.txtRMA.Text

[Code] ....

However, I cannot get this to work as the "if" statement always returns "Return/Repair information" and not the modified caption. The message box confirms that this is the case.

I suspect that this has to do with the point in time that the frmRepair loads or opens and when my code enters the modified values.

Modules & VBA :: Code Runs OK Once But Error Next Time

Jun 26, 2015

The task is (1) output an Access query to Excel (2) overwrite that file if it already exists (3) apply specific formatting to the header row and the other rows in Excel. I have cobbled the code together from two sources. The beginning and end are adapted from code on btabdevelopment.com but the large insert in the middle is code I got form a project a former colleague had done. But he's no longer around.

The problem: I click the button and everything works OK. The file is created and formatted just how I want. If I click the button a second time though, it seems to run OK, but when I open the file it is NOT formatted. However, theres another window behind it called Book 1 which has all the data and all the correct formatting it just hasnt been saved. If I click it a third time I get an error message that says Object variable or With block variable not set. Im not even 100% all that is accurate because I have tried it a multitude of ways, closing and re-opening the form, closing and re-opening Access itself, starting with Excel open or closed, never with the destination excel file open though. I dont seem to get exactly the same behaviour any two times. But as far as I can see, if I close and re-open Access, it always works the first time. So I can live with it.

Code:
Private Sub cmdExport_Click()
On Error GoTo Errhandler
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim oExcel As Object
Dim oBook As Object
Dim oSheet As Object

[code]....

Refresh After Code Runs On Activate Or On Load

Jul 21, 2015

Access 2007, Sql Server 2008 R2. Problem with refresh.

Form 1, (Single Form) Parent Form, contains Property Year Detail data. PK = PropYrDetID. This is a SINGLE FORM

Form 2, (Single Form) Child form, contains land square footage data from multiple records. PK = SPYDID FK = PropYrDetID. This is a SINGLE FORM.

The code below executes every time Form 1 opens, activates or whatever. The reason is that data in Form 2 changes frequently. Thus every time Form 1 opens the end user will see the latest data.

"Form 1" receives a series of values that it obtains from VBA code that runs when it opens or activates.

"Form 2" has the data being summarized in Form 1.

All of the code and queries below run fine and return the correct values from Form 2 to Form 1. My problem is Refresh on Form 1.

I've tried the code in the On Current, On Activate, On Load of Form 1. Mostly the data shows up in Form 1. Other times parts of the data are left out. I have to hit F5 or close and reopen the form, and then the data appears. When I don't see data on Form 1, I check the underlying table and the correct data exists. I don't know how to achieve a 100% refresh success. I have tried me.refresh and different Events all over the place.

All of the code below runs when Form 1 opens. Queries are fine, Equations are fine, Tests run fine. It's the results showing up that I am having the problem with.

I don't think the issue is with the code but with the Refresh. Here it is for your review.

The term "Equations" is the customers. There are 5 equations. Some have a series of tests after the Equation to determine the result.

Code:

Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim rs As Variant
Dim varAOProp As Variant
Dim varAOIni As Variant
Dim varAOCert As Variant
Dim varBORIni As Variant
Dim varBORFinal As Variant

[Code] ....

Forms :: OnLoad Runs When Closing Form

Oct 9, 2013

I have an A2007 application running on XP. From main form, Form1, another form, Form2, is opened.

When I attempt to close the application by clicking in the cross in the rh-corner of Access window, I get a crash midway through the OnLoad of Form2. I cannot figure out why the heck the On Load event fires when the form is being closed, and have some difficulties stepping through the code.

I recall having heard of OnLoad firing when trying to close a Form.

Update Query No Longer Runs As Transaction.

Feb 22, 2008

Hi,
I have been using the following query, literally for years, without any changes. I run it from code using db.execute, and I do use the dbfailonerror option.

UPDATE TST3 SET [date] = Mid([timedate],8,2) & '/' & Mid([timedate],10,2) & '/' & Right([timedate],4), [time] = Left([timedate],2) & ':' & Mid([timedate],3,2) & ':' & Mid([timedate],5,2), Serial = [serial] & '3';

One of the things it does is to add a '3' to the end of the [serial]. [serial] is the primary key in the TST3 table. You might think that there would be a problem if, say, I have a list of serials containing
35
56
1
13
and I'm trying to update them to
353
563
13
133
But this has worked OK in the past. NOW I'm getting a KV Error when it tries to update the 1 to 13, because there's already a 13 in the table.

Even stranger, when the query fails, all the rows BEFORE the offending record DO get updated. So the query fails, and I end up with:
353
563
1
13
(and yes, I DO have dbfailonerror set)

So, it looks to me as if update queries are no longer running as transactions.
I am pretty certain that action queries have always been run transaction-wise in the past... if the query fails, the whole thing should fail. WHY is the transaction processing no longer working for this update query? Has anyone else noticed this?

I recently ran microsoft update and am now running
Access 2002 (10.6771.6830) SP3.

MS Access Runs Slowly For Client PC's After A Update Or Insert.

Jan 29, 2007

Hi,

We are using MS Access as the backend to our application which has been written in delphi and have run into a problem that we have not been able to solve. Hoping someone has run into this before or any suggestions are much appreciated.

The problem:

MS Access runs slowly for client PC's after a update or insert.

- I am using ADO to connect to the Access database, which is using the OLEDB for ODBC Provider.
- The application I have sends queries (both select and update) direct to the database (ie client datasets are used).
- When only select queries are sent to the DB the response time is fine.
- When an update or insert query is sent to the DB the response time of the PC it is run on is fine.
- When an update or insert query is sent to the DB the response time of any other client PCs running the application take about 5 to 6 times longer to run queries than before the updateinsert query was done. This is the issue that I am having.
- Any client PC's that display this slower response time, can have their response time returned to normal by closing down the application and restarting it.
- No more than 3 PC's connected at one time to the DB.
- Maximum database size of 150MB.
- Problem occurs on various network setups, including domain and workgroup.
- Problem only surfaces for users at times well after any application updates have been applied (ie several weeks after, and then once the problem starts it continues).
- It does not occur for all user sites.

I have tried and thoroughly tested the following to no avail...
- Applied all the latest microsoft updates
- Closing and re-opening the ADO connection after updatesinserts
- Changed the ADO provider to Jet 4
- Saving the DB in Access 2000 or 2002 format
- Set the Default record locking to 'No Locks' and 'All records' and 'Edited record'
- Used 'Open databases using record-level locking' selected and unselected
- Many application techniques (using delphi) to work around the issue. Many of which have indeed improved general response times, but have not resolved this particular issue.

The only thing I have tried that has resolved the issue is... - Upsizing the database to SQL Server (Unfortunately this option is not a viable one for us at this stage, so I need to find a resolution to it while still using the Access DB).

Thanks for your help

Forms :: Form Opening Inside Access Window In Background

Apr 8, 2015

I have three forms:

Form_A (main form for the application - should always be open)
Form_B (always open, but sometimes has visibility set to false)
Form_C (opens from button on Form_B)

When I press the button on Form_B, the only code behind it is DoCmd.OpenForm "Form_C". This seems to hide Form_B, and open Form_C behind Form_A (which is the main form of the application) inside of an Access window.

I would like Form_C to open in front of Form_B. I suspect that I set up the form incorrectly or something when I created it, and it is therefore opening inside an Access window.

Forms :: Splash Screen While Other Form Loads In Background On Startup

Jan 4, 2014

I have on very large form in my db that takes several seconds to load. I want to optimize things, so I am trying to have it load hidden in the background when the db first starts up, this way it can be immediately called on when it is needed later. Please read further :

I want to have a splash screen that loads as well. I have set the splash screen to the default form when the database opens. However, I am not quite sure how to get the other form to load in the background as hidden, AFTER the splash screen opens and appears. I tried calling it with the oncurrent event of the splash screen, but then splash screen wont appear until after the other (hidden) form has finished loading. I have tried different orders of events, but am having no luck getting the desired results.

Summary: I want the splash screen to show first, then the big form to open (hidden) in the background. The user can click on a continue button on the splash screen and then the main switchboard will open.

Table Locked When Trying To Update Via Code Called By A Form

Oct 19, 2005

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I am trying to update a database table via a command button on the main form, that uses tabbed sub forms.

The database gets its data from paradox data tables copied our company's
third-party software. These table files are copied from one location to another to stop the paradox database from locking up and giving me errors during the import process of this database. I then link to these files at a pre-determined location on a local computer hard drive.

When I try to run the code below I get the error about the table being
locked by a user or process. As you can see I have tried adding a pause
incase the files are still being copied but this does not seem to be the
problem.

I have used a msg box to confirm that the copying process has completed before starting the make query, but the same error comes up after I click ok.

Can anyone suggest anything else.

As you can see from the simplicity of the code below I am a beginner so take it easy on me, by not taking knowledge for granted. :)

code:
------------------------------------------------------------

Dim response
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String


response = MsgBox("Are you sure that you want to update xxx with Customer
data from xxx?", vbYesNo, "Perform Update")
If response = vbYes Then

‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (5000)

‘close active form
DoCmd.Close

‘close all active forms
Do While Forms.Count > 0
DoCmd.Close acForm, Forms(0).Name
Loop

‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (30000)

‘delete existing file
Kill "c:folderfile DATA.DB"

‘replace with new file
FileCopy "J:Folderew_DATA.DB", " c:folderfile DATA.DB "

‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (40000)

DoCmd.SetWarnings False


stDocName = "Make_DATA"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (35000)

stDocName = "Make_DATA_SUMMARY"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (35000)

stDocName = "qry_Update_ Status"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (35000)

‘open up main form when finsihed
stDocName = "main-form"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

Forms :: Create A Message Box To Flash On Screen To Tell User That Update Code Is Running

Mar 6, 2014

I need to create a message box or a form or something to flash on the screen to tell the user that a piece of "Update" code is running. the update code will be updated reports from marketing returns, but the 3 branches who use the information are separate so I am creating an update form to download and update the table.

The code for the update is already working, but can take a while, so I thought a message or splash screen would be useful as the update runs on start up.

It would have another use, I have a report which is made mainly of calculated fields on an onPrint event and also takes a while to work it out, so a similar screen would be more useful than my current spinning circle and blank screen.

General :: MS Access Code To Update (add / Subtract) Value (quantity) On Table / Form

I have a 'tblStock' with fields 'ProductID', 'InitialStock', 'Buy', 'Sell' and 'UpdatedStock'. I also have a form 'StockUpdate' add values and also add new records to 'tblStock' .

If I have value [100] for IntialStock quantity, Buy [0] and sell [10], UpdatedStock will be [90] (that's done and fine!).

The problem is, I would like to make the UpdatedStock value [90] to be the NEW InitialStock, so that any BUY or SELL will keep updating the UpdatedStock and making it the NEW InitialStock for the next transactions and so on....

The fields are extracted from a linked table and are not viewed on the form but need to be written to a table to create a report. I'm confused on the sets to take to handle this.
