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
All i want to do is after executing the following code, close the form " EmployeeFind" on completion?
Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_Form_DblClick Dim stDocName As String Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response Msg = "Employee allocated to Job" Style = vbOKCancel + vbInformation Title = "Employee moved" ' Define title. Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title) If Response = vbOK Then
I have combo boxes populated with all values in a particular field, then shunt the form onto that record (standard combo box for selecting records from a list in other words).
Problem is, these boxes seem to stop working if I leave the form for another and then return to it.
Here's the code Access puts behind:
----------- Set SerialRS = Me.Recordset.Clone SerialRS.FindFirst "[Serial Number] = '" & Me![Combo60] & "'" If Not SerialRS.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = SerialRS.Bookmark -----------
The form may be opened and closed via other processes (although never unloaded), but when I come back to it these combo boxes always stop working! Why?
I have a form with a subform in it. On the main form, I have a combo box with a list of program numbers to choose from. Once one is selected, the subform displays all the unpaid invoices under that program number. This part works fine. The problem occurs when I try to close the form, switch to design view, or scroll the subform to the right. Basically, the error message says that the record can't be saved because it would create a duplicate value in the index/primary key. However, this form is used to display information only. I have disabled the edit, delete and addition abilities, so I can't figure out why it thinks I am trying to change or add a new record. Any help would be appreciated.
I figured it might make things easier if I included a copy of the database, so here it is.
The form is called SETR, and the subform is AllInfo subform.
Hello guys, I have created a form which generates the data into new access database,now I have to show a message "Processing" while data gets generated. And when its done this message should go away by itself,so any suggestion please let me know.
Hi all. Can't seem to find a similar thread although I'm sure there must be one.
I have a macro that runs update queries when exiting the database. What I'd like to do is display a message whilst the updates are running. However, I only seem to halt the macro until the user clicks the ok button on the message box.
as the form opens with the access application window hidden, and I found that the .ldb file didn't close if I simply used the X.
I have a series of fields with validation rules which activate on exit. One of these validation rules is in the box which gets focus when the form opens. This means that I get the validation text error message boxes when I close the form with the X.
If I have started to complete the form, I get a whole host of error messages and validation messages when I try to shut it with the X.
Is there a way of closing the form and cancelling or ignoring all error message boxes. I want the user to be able to close the form if they have decided not to fill it in after all, or have got part way through and want to cancel.
I would really appreciate any help, I am sure this is a very basic question and I should probably be able to find the answer, but I can't and I am very fed up!
I have an Access 2010 db on a shared network drive. All users accessing the db are running Windows 7 OS and have a licensed corporate version of Access 2010. The advanced options "Shared", "Edited record" and "Open dabases by using record-level locking" are turned on. Additionally, the locking time limits are set to their default levels. If a user selects the save icon after making additions or updates, the following waring message appears:
Costar Job Database can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save you design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file.Since I developed the db, I am the only one that makes design or object changes. I know that users don't need to select the save icon to update the db, but I don't want them to "freak out" if they select save and see the message. Is there any way to prevent the message from being displayed?
I am wondering if it is possible to calculate scores automatically based on the number of tick boxes the users have selected? If yes, how do I go about doing this feature?
I use a close button to close a form. There is list box in this Form. If the list box is empty, then simly close the form. However, if there are projects in the list box, I want to give a warning. If the user say YES, then everything in the listbox will be deleted and the form will be closed. If user say NO, tehn the form will not be closed. They then can use anotehr button to save teh projects.
I wrote the follwing code. The delete portion itself works. But it seesm comfused with msgbox. Could you pelase help me correct this code? Thank you very much for your help.
lbDestination -- list box name
Private Sub Close_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Close_Click
If IsNull(Me.lbDestination) Then DoCmd.Close Exit Sub End If
If MsgBox("You have unsaved initiatives. Are you sure you want to close?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, _ "Delete?") = vbYes Then
Dim rsDestination As DAO.Recordset Set rsDestination = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbInit", dbOpenDynaset)
rsDestination.MoveFirst Do While Not rsDestination.EOF
I am working on school project. I created priority table that has primary key (ID number) and other data, and three tables(also with data) that are linked to this table, with ID number of priority table and primary keys of other tables (relations many-to-many, I formed tables between them).
Problem: - my solution is created so that I can fill all neccessary data of ALL tables in ONE FORM. But ofcourse Access wants you to enter at least one field in primary table for opening new record, so that It links you to all other tables (in my case with ID number) - then It is possible to enter data of all other tables in whatever tab order you like.
What I want to do is that my autonumber field from primary table would automatically open a new record number when opening the form, without entering any data to primary table. Is that even possible ?
So far I tried to add another field in my primary table (Date/time format) and set the date to =Now(), and used macro of Refresh on form, but nothing happens. Date is shown in field, but Autonumber doesn't generate new number of record. maybe I did it wrong...
Any option to lock Tab order and force user to fullfill data only in desiring order ? I want to make solution more user friendly
I am trying to make a search option in my form header. Right now I have two unbound combo boxes (CboAccountsfilter and cboCourseName) that I can use to filter my records. Currently, I can use the drop down for CboAccountsfilter and a list of accounts will appear. When I select one, the corresponding Course Names will appear in cboCourseName. This works fine...Code below. I would like to take the filtering a step farther and add checkboxes to filter the data. I my form, there currently exist several check boxes (yes/no)...(Priority, Rep Top Target, Manager Top Target, ect). I would like to have the option to use a check box to filter. I.E if I had a checkbox in my header called PriorityFilter, if checked it would only bring up those records that met the two combo boxes criteria and was a priority.
Below is the code I have so far...it doesnt have anything for the checkbox because I am at a lost of how to get started.
Private Sub CboAccountsfilter_Change() Me.Requery Me.cboCourseName.Requery Me.Check178.Requery End Sub
I have created some control buttons using the built in functions of Access2007 and then using the script supplied here modified the control.
So far the controls can add new record, save record, exit form, open next form and close existing form, open previous form and close existing form.
My next question is when the user reaches the end of the form fields how do I stop the form from automatically starting a new record?
For example, I use the TAB key to move from field to field and when I tab out of the last field the form goes straight to the next empty record.
I want this to be a deliberate action performed by clicking the Add New Record button and not an accident of a key press.
The other thing is, how do I get the form to open with blank/empty fields and not at the first populated record? Some of the data is updated frequently so the records need to be able to be edited but I need to prevent accidental editing of the existing records.
I am using Access 2013. I have a form with 2 subforms, each time the form is opened, the first record on both subforms are selected. Is there a way to turn off the record selector so no records are selected when the form opens?
I have a form in which user will enter few values but I need users to enter the comment in relevant text box too only if they have any non zero value.
I have attached an example for reference....where red encircled portion is for values and blue is for relevant comments. If value is non zero then user should be enforced to enter the comment too......system should not allow user to move forward or backward until there is some comment.
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?
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?
I am tying to create a cmd btn called "Report" that when clicked opens a form [quick report] in dialog window. I have that done easy enough. But what I want is if that form [quick report] is open, and you click the same button "Report" for it to then close the form.
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 ?
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.
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.
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?
