Forms :: MsgBox To Display Using Timer Event
Aug 19, 2014I have a form (MS Access 2003) that has a button that when pressed, assigns the current time to field [Time1] using
Code:
Me.Time1 = Now()
I have another field [Time2] that adds 15 minutes to [Time1] using the following in the Control Source field
Code:
=DateAdd("n",15,[Time1])
I was wanting to use these to force a message box when the system time reached Time2 and tried the following code on the Form ON TIMER event (Interval at 1000 ms) but it does not work.
Code:
If Time() > Me.Time2 then
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if
I tried putting in a manual time in the VBA such as:
Code:
If Time() > #2:05:00 PM#
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if
which worked. So, I am guessing there is something with my orignal code using Me.Time2 that is causing the problem.
Forms :: Timer Event Causing System Resource Exceeded
Dec 9, 2013I have Access 2010 and have made a small system that creates a table as a result of an query based on linked tables. The result is approximately 40 records that are grouped in 4 different priorities where each record has a status of green, yellow or red.
By using the timer event I want to loop through 6 different forms starting with the overall view and herafter priority 1 form, priority 2 form and so on. When the last form has been displayed start over again. Loop for ever until stop button has been pushed on the first form.
The timer is set to 15000 on each form, when I open a form the first thing that happens is that I close the previous open form.
After the system has looped 4 times it gets "SYSTEM RESOURCE EXCEEDED".
I have used 3 days on the internet to try to get a solution on my problem with no luck. I have got so far that it must be something with the timer function. Since if I run it manually (open form, close previously, open next form etc) then no issues.
I have the latest service pack for access 2010.
Forms :: Timer Event - Wait Until Form Fully Loaded Before Visible
Nov 7, 2014I have tried using a timer event to not show a form until it is fully loaded, to no avail.
Code:
If CurrentProject.AllForms("FONNewEdit").IsLoaded = True Then
Me.Visible = True
Me.TimerInterval = 0
End If
I have tried using the onload, onopen but the form still displays before being fully loaded.

Simple (?) Timer Event Problem
May 24, 2005I created a form to list the number of customers in my lobby. In the Form Footer I placed a field to count the number of customers waiting (Name: CC1, Control Source: =Count([LName]). Works fine.
I want a Beep on the form if the customers exeed 5. I placed the following code in the Timer event but I cannot get the event to work. I believe it has something to do with the field name but I'm unsure. Any help would be appreciated.
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Requery
If [CC1] >= 5 Then
Beep
Else
End If
End Sub
Skip On Timer Event Cycle
Sep 15, 2005My form is always open and runs a timer event which runs a series of functions and procedures. I don't want to run a certain procedure on every timer cycle, but rather, every other timer cycle.
Any thoughts on how best to accomplish this. I'm having a mental block!

Queries :: How To Open A Form With A Timer Event
Aug 12, 2014I've taken a break from Access for a while, but I'm back at it again and having some difficulty. I am trying to open a form with a timer to state that the database is going to shut down in five minutes if they don't respond. I'm obviously using the wrong code. I've been trying to use the following:
Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmWarning"
If Forms!frmHidden!chkActive Then
Forms!frmHidden!chkActive = False
Me.TimerInterval = 300000
Else
DoCmd.Quit
End If
End Sub
It crashes on the 'DoCmd.OpenForm "frmWarning"'
Creating A Timer Event That Checks System Time?
Apr 21, 2005I need a query run that brings up a list of customers that need maintence after 6 months after their last maintence service. As soon as you open the DB, the event/query runs and if there are any customers past due to display them. And if there are none, to not even show the query at all.
I have very little experience with timers and if/then statements and don't know how to set this up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Forms :: Closing Opening Form With Timer Then Opening Main Menu
Apr 7, 2014I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.

Form Timer
Mar 30, 2005I’m not sure if this is going to be more of a VBA question but at the moment for me it’s a form thing.
Is there any way i can have a form automatically close and load a different form after an amount of time since it was loaded has passed.
I have a form and i want it to lose after 30 seconds of opening and load the next form.
I’ve had a search around access help but that really wasn’t too successful and I found nothing like it on these forums.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Crisp.

Timer Code
Oct 11, 2004I wrote the following simple code in a form's event procedures, in order to create a splash screen for my application. The form remains open all the time, I meant it to close after cnt>10. I checked with message boxes and it seems that cnt never increases to more than 1. Any ideas why ?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim cnt As Integer
Me.TimerInterval = 1000 'timer interval 1 second
cnt = 0
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Dim cnt As Integer
cnt = cnt + 1
If cnt > 10 Then
Me.TimerInterval = 0
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name 'here I want the form to close
End If
End Sub
Where can one find what terms such as acForm, Me.Name, acPreview etc mean ?
Forms :: Subform Control Event - Identify Parent And Child Forms
Jun 20, 2013I have a listbox on a subform (or a subform within a subform).
When it is clicked I want all other listboxes to unselect.
There may be listboxes on the mainform, on other subforms, on other subforms of subforms.
I imagine I'm looking at a recursive function of some sort, but I'm not entirely sure of syntax to identify parent and children forms...
pseudocode so far:
loop all controls
if control = listbox, unselect all
if control = subform - recurse: loop all subform controls
if control = parent... err... Fail.
Forms :: Button Click Event To Choose Between Forms To Open Based On TextBox Input
Jun 7, 2013Making a small database, Got 1 Table.

Problem Whit Timer In Form
Aug 7, 2006Hi
I' am trying to make a form which executes a macro in every minute. I have put the Timer Interval to 60000ms. But now the form executes the macro only once and I want that macro will be executed always after one minute. So how I can make this work? Do I have to make somekind of loop in code or what?
Forms :: Activate Event Not Triggering With Sub Forms On Tab Control
Aug 18, 2014I have a main form that holds a tab control with a number of sub forms. One of these subforms has a pop up form for adding new records to it. After closing this pop up form I would like to initate code on the sub form where the new record now will appear. One of the things I like to do is simply to set focus to the record the user just added.
My problem is that I cannot seem to get any event to trigger in this setting (bben trying more or less all). If I understand things right the fact that I am using a pop up form and the fact that I am using a tab control both seem to interfer with the Activate event and making it passive.
How I can trigger code on the sub form (after closing the "Add New" pop up form)?
General :: Countdown Timer On Form Using Different DateDiff
Jul 31, 2012I have created a countdown counter on a form using different Datediff's so to split the renaining time into days, hours, minutes and seconds.
The Datediff compares Now() to a text box called txt.Leaving which has a date/time unputted via a table (Format: General Date)
However the seconds and minutes work ok but the hours and days dont count down inline with the minutes and seconds reducing. The hours do alter when the minutes are 13 mins into the new hour. This would seem to point possibly to rounding off but I would expect that further into the hour.
Below is the Datediff that is set as the control source in a text box and the form it sits on has its timer set to 1000 and the event requeries the text box.
=DateDiff("d",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) & "d, " & DateDiff("h",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 24 & "h, " & DateDiff("n",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "m, " & DateDiff("s",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "s"
Using Access 2000.
