Modules & VBA :: Mandatory Data Entry In Field Before Moving To Another Field
Aug 22, 2014I have a form that users will use to add new records (customers).
There is a field named VAT_Registration_no
First of all i want some code to check for duplicates in that field only,before entering the next field.If the record exists i want to show a msgbox and set focus to the vat_registration_no field. Also I want the same thing to happen if the vat_registration_no field is empty.here is what i have tried:
Private Sub VAT_registration_no_AfterUpdate()
Dim btest As Boolean
If VAT_registration_no = "" Or IsNull(Me.VAT_registration_no) Then
MsgBox "Please enter a Vat Registration No.", vbOKOnly, "error"
Me.VAT_registration_no.SetFocus
Else
btest = True
End If
End Sub
and to all other fields:
Private Sub textfield_Enter()
If Not btest Then
Me.textfield.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
If I just press enter to go straight to the second field I dont get a msg. If I write something and delete it and press enter i get the msg but when I press ok the cursor goes to the next field. I want it to go to the vat_registration_no field again. And I also want this to happen even if dont write something and then delete it.

Apr 10, 2014I have a questions database. When user is filling out the form, the following fields are required: Questions, Author, Type of Question and Answer selected.

nullerr = 1

Forms :: Combo Box With Blank Entry
Aug 7, 2013I have created a form that searches through one of my tables, via a query, it then automatically creates a report from that query.
I want to add an option into the combo box's that is blank.
Currently if you wanted to choose by 'fault category' but accidently click on 'failure analysis', it will take the top value of the combo as the entry, you can't then blank 'failure analysis'.
Each combo box gets its information from an independent table.
The only think I figured out what adding the refresh button which just closes then reopens the form so all the fields go blank.
Forms :: Message Box To Confirm Entry Of A Duplicate Value?
Oct 24, 2013I have a single table in my database and I have to make a form for entering contact details for clients, staff, funding bodies and everyone else into this table. There is a phone number and what code I would use the get it to check if the number already exists.
If it does, I wanted it to return a custom message telling you what entries it already exists for by displaying certain fields so that they can be identified, such as name and organisation, but then I wanted the custom message to allow you to confirm entry of the data anyway. This is because there may have been an error in entry or as some people may be contacted on the same phone number, I want it to allow the option to continue and enter the data anyway.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTwo Problems With Mandatory Fields In Forms
Jun 14, 2005Hi,
I am experiencing a few problems with mandatory fields in my forms. I use different forms which all base on the same table - therefore I can not use the "Required"-flag in the table definitions.
What I managed to do by now:
I put this statement into the OnExit-Event:
=IIf([FMNO] Is Null,MsgBox("Please enter the FMNO",48,"Error Message"),"")
This provides me with an errormessage in case the field is null.
When I exit the field, I receive the errormessage but the cursor moves to the next field. How can I make sure that the cursor stays in the field where the error occurs?
My next problem:
When I try to use this syntax on a text-field (e.g. "NAME") it doesn't work.
Has anybody any suggestions?
Your help is very much appreciated, I'm getting more and more desperate on this issue.
Forms :: Conditional Mandatory Fields
Mar 20, 2013Basically I have a form which records primary and secondary reasons for people writing off money, and in the secondary reasons I have an option for 'other', in case any of the other options aren't applicable. There is also a comments section on the form which is optional.
My issue is, I want the comments section to become mandatory if the 'other' option has been selected. I don't want it mandatory all the time, and I don't want it disabled if 'other' isn't selected, but I need to force people to write at least something in there if they have selected other.
I tried variations on code I found from other places but was unable to get this to function, and I am not sure if this can be done with validation or something like that.
Forms :: Creating Mandatory Fields In A Database?
Jun 18, 2013I have a table, which when i first set it up i decided that a couple of the fields had to be mandatory.
So, i set the "Required" property of the field to "Yes" (at table level - which is probably poor practice?)
I now have a form that allows a user at the front end to enter items in the table.
If they complete all the fields on the form i have used macro builder to save the record, present a nice message and move to a New Record. (3 elements in all)
However, if they try to save the record having not completed the "Required" fields then they get an error message instructing them the field is required, but then the macro crashes.
So what's the best way to approach Mandatory fields? Is it best to leave the "Required" property at table level set to No and then have something at form level which checks they have entered a value in the field? (i'm guessing this is probably the correct approach)
I tried removing the table level condition from the [Field] and adding this as the first argument of the macro builder which saves my record:
Code:
IF [Field] = "" Then
MessageBox "You Must Complete Mandatory Fields"
Stop Macro
End If
But my macro still completes and saves the record...
Forms :: Highlight Mandatory Controls On A Form Tab
May 15, 2013I am trying to provide a visual highlight for users of a multi tabbed form. I do a check as users go from tab and tab and i.e. on exit event and I would like to highlight all mandatory fields that have been left incomplete.
I did a test with one control and it worked as expected with the after update event of the specific control.
I then altered the code to add another control, but it does not work as expected. It only highlights one control and not the other. I just recently started using vba, I adapt the code to fit multiple controls and make it work as expected.
Private Sub Ctl2_frm_tab1_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If (Len(Form_2.cmb_arName& "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_arName)) Or _
(Len(Form_2.cmb_val & "") = 0 Or IsNull(Form_2.cmb_val)) Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please complete the highlighted control", vbCritical + vbOKOnly

Forms :: Update Database Column When Mandatory Fields Are Completed
May 11, 2013I have a form with lots of combo boxes and text boxes. They are all linked to various MS Access tables and some of the fields are mandatory. I would like do an check to see if all the mandatory fields are not null i.e. are populated with a value and then run an update query for my master table in the database to flag the records as being complete if all the mandatory fields are populated.
If (IsEmpty(tab1.cmb_a)) Then do something
But I am just blank at the moment on how to proceed, especially on how I can do all the checks and then populate the database.
Forms :: Copy Value From Field In Subform To Field In Main Form During Data Entry
Jul 18, 2013How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
Forms :: Can A Field Auto-fill From Previous Entry In Separate Field
Mar 21, 2013I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter:
Apples 2.2
red apple 2.4
red apple cut 2.45
Oranges 5.6
Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
Message If No Entry?
Apr 30, 2006I tried using a message box to try and validate text entry on a form into a bound txt box 'PaymentAmount', If there is no payment entered, using the properties box Validation Rule ,- 'is not null' then entered a validation text ="Please enter an Amount" but this does not work. How can I get a message box to appear if someone leaves the entry field empty so that they have to make some entry to move on. I have already entered this in the table validation field as well as 'Required - yes', but the message is an Access one not my own. Where or how do I do this ?
View 14 Replies View RelatedData Entry Using Blank Form?
Apr 6, 2005I have searched the forum and asked some of my colleagues about this and I do not seem to be getting anywhere. :(
What I need is to be able to use a (blank, ie showing no current records) form to enter data into a new record.
I have Tables A and B in a 1-to-many relationship and I need to be able to bring up a blank form which has:
1. a combo box, allowing me to select the relevant record from the parent (table A), and ...
2. blank fields (from the child - table B) to fill in with new data.
I can set this up using a standard setup, where all records are shown, but this is confusing to a dumb user, who really only wants to see relevant boxes for them to fill in without the distractions of data in fields they are not concerned with or with other records they do not want to know about.
Can anyone help? :)
Required Entry If Check Box Is Blank
Aug 22, 2013I have a lot of fields that I want to make required entry only if one of the check boxes I have is blank. If the check box is blank then I don't want any entries to be required.
For example, I have a form that needs to be filled out only if a machine is running, if the machine is not running then only certain fields need to be filled out and the user will select the check box labeled "Machine not running".
BTW, I'm very new to Access and have no experience with implementing code, other than with excel.

Forms :: If Field Is Blank Do Not Print
Mar 11, 2013I have a form in access 2010 that prints a document rougly 500 pages in length. I want to know if there is a way to tell the form not to print a particular page if one of the fields on the page returns the word "suspended" and or the field is blank. The page has other data on it, as do they all, but if this particular field comes back null or "suspended" I would rather it just did not print that particular page in its entirety.

Nov 27, 2006I have struggled with this for so long now I hope someone can help.
I have a form called frm_Collections which is run from the query (qry_Collections). When I type into the Reg field in the Form I would
like the user to know if the Reg details have already been used in a
previous record. The database can have duplicates in this field, however a
"Warning Message" would promt some investigation.
I have tried loads of DLookup on Before Update, but really need setting of

Duplicate Entry Error Message
Jul 7, 2006Hi!
I have a form which is based on student records. What I'm trying to get Access to do is to bring up an error message as soon a duplicate student number has been entered. At present I've managed to replace the Access standard error message 3022 with my own by using the following code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
Const conDuplicateKey = 3022
Dim strMsg As String
If DataErr = conDuplicateKey Then
Response = acDataErrContinue
strMsg = "Duplicated record. Please recheck your data."
MsgBox strMsg
End If
End Sub
However the error message only appears when you try to leave the form (e.g. start a new record). I would like the error message to appear as soon as the user leaves the Student Number text box on the form. Is there anyway to do this?
Retrieve Blank Form Upon Record Entry
Jul 12, 2013I have code that is executed with the click of a button to enter a new response using 2 fields to differentiate the records: a combobox "cboSrvID" and a textbox "RspnsName". I have a different set of questions for each value in the cboSrvID. Upon selecting my button the record is saved correctly although I would like it to open the blank form associated on the subform "sfrmSurveyResponses" when pushed. I have tried some DoCmd.FindRecord and DoCmd. GoTo functions to try and retrieve the last acLast RspnsID inputted. So far I have had no luck.
Below is the code for the onClick action of my button.
Code:
Private Sub cmdEnterResults_Click()
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qappNewResponses"
Me![sfrmResponses].Requery
End Sub
