General :: Argument Not Optional For Field
Apr 24, 2015
I have a subform and when you double click on any field it remembers 3 fields from the record you are in and stores them. I have 3 fields called [section], [losthrs], [stdhrs]. It works perfectly and stores the data from [losthrs] and [stdhrs] fields, but throws up "Argument not optional" for the [section] field.... Can not see a reason why, it is just a simple text field...
I have even tried 'pausing the code' and using the immediate window to show the field values, again losthrs and stdhrs are fine, section gives "Argument not optional".

I have followed Martin Green's steps (fontstuff) for creating an audit trail and am getting a compile error when I check my code.
This is my code and the error highlights 'Call AuditChanges' as the problem.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Not Me.NewRecord Then
Call AuditChanges("ImprovementID")
End Sub

We have an Access 2010 database that is accessed by some users from another location. Each user has their own copy of the front end. For some reason two users in our Sydney office enter orders, but after they have entered and saved the order, sometimes for no apparent reason they get an "invalid argument" error message and all the data in the order has been converted to hieroglyphics. I cannot seem replicate this from my server location.
It seems to only occur from our Sydney based server. Could it be that each user's copy of the front end is located on the same virtual drive on our Melbourne based server? Should I move the Sydney user's copies of the front end to the Sydney based server?I think it might be the growing size of the database but I compacting doesn't reduce it by much.

I have a form that has several sub forms and what I want is that if the user chooses Plan Name in the main form "No Fault" or 'Workers Comp". I want message to pop and go to the field in the subform to enter data but I keep on getting an error.
Private Sub Plan_Name_AfterUpdate()
If ([Plan Name] = "No Fault") Then
MsgBox "Enter additional information in No Fault form before continuing."
DoCmd.GoToControl ([NoFaultWCompsubForm]![Attorney Name])
End If
End Sub
It says the action or method requires a control name argument?
What am I missing?

I am developing a calender to display HOTEL room occupancy (past,present) and combine with future "outlook" dates and 1/0 values from active registrations that go beyond the present date.
I am working with MS ACCESS 2007. My problem is ONE SPECIFIC QUERY AND IIF STATEMENT. I want to concatenate some text (using &) along with numbers converted to text (using the CSTr function). I am using iif function and I want to use the full text string as a variable argument to be executed in the iif function. The result of the &concatenate is a text field like [p1] or [p2] or [p#] with numbers 1-31.
But, I do not want the final result as the argument. I want the query and iif to use the string expression written into the argument as the variable argument that can be calculated based on OTHER numbers that change everyday in the daily run of the calender.
The field in the statement [calc number] is a date conversion factor that changes everyday.
I want the iif statement to execute using the string as a variable argument. I am writing only within the QUERY to define the query object. I am not writing into any SQL module or code. My field definition and iif statement is below (calc number changes everyday)
CalDate18: iif(18 greater date();"[p" & [calc number] & "]";0
I do not have greater-than key on this international keyboard !
When I use this in an update query, I get format conversion error. When I use the same definition in MAKE-TABLE query, it gives the resolved value "[p1]" for the value of [CalDate18] ......... that is not what I want.
I want the string to be taken literally and executed. Seems there may be a special character to precede the argument or WRAP the argument such as done in Excel. Example # "[p" & [calc number] & "]" #

I have two drop-downs on a form along with a child form that shows data based on a query. If both drop downs have selections, say date and dept. then the query would change and the child would show the data - that works fine, but what if one of the drop downs didn't have a value selected, as in i select a date but just want all departments so select noting from the second dd - how would i write the query to reflect this optional selection?

I have a form with an option group that depending on which one is selected, opens a report with a specific query as it's source. Part of the query looks at a listbox on the form. Here is the criteria for a field: [Forms]![frmOnSearch]![tboCollDev]
I want to make this criteria OPTIONAL. So if there is nothing selected in the listbox, the query should not look at that criteria. FYI, the value that is returned from the listbox is numeric.
Thanks

I've had a look around this forum and haven't seen anything really matching my needs, but please feel free to point me in the right direction.
What I am trying to do (using macros & queries - very new to SQL / VBA) is filter by multiple fields, but also allow the user to choose to filter by different combinations of fields - such as searching for first name and suburb, or salesperson and customer source, or first name and salesperson, or suburb and customer source, or three options or one, etc etc.
There will only be a certain number of search fields, probably five or six, but how do I get the query to recognise that if one of the search boxes is blank, it should allow all records in that field and only search by the other criteria, but if all the search boxes are filled in, the results must match all the criteria?
Does this make any sense?
PS - I am planning to use a command button as an "Apply Filter" so that the filter only updates after the user has specified all the options they want.

Hi,
Is there a simple way to add optional criteria in a query for a subform? Basically, what I'm trying to do is have a number of comboboxes in the parent form that indicate what records are shown in the subform (these records could then be added and/or deleted). I would like to be able to have a combobox such as "Month" that would filter the data shown in the subform to that month. If no month is selected, then the subform would show all months.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I am using this criteria with my calender on my form...
>=([Forms]![frmReport]![txtFrom]) And <=([Forms]![frmReport]![txtTo])
but I have 2 other date fields that I would like to query, so how do I go about making this optional?
Normally with a simple reference like:
Like([Forms]![frmReport]![txtFrom]) & "*"
with the form control's default value as * I tried working with that configuration but either it is not possible or I have the wrong syntax.
I'm open to a VB solution if anyone has one?
Note: I would only be using one of the date fields at any given time
thanks

Is it possible to have three different report footers on the same report? I want to show one footer at a time depending on a condition met in the detail section. I already know how to check the condition but I need to know how to do the rest.
Ex:
if condition1 = A then
me!reportfooter_1.visible = true
me!reportfooter_2.visible = false
me!reportfooter_3.visible = false
end if

I currently have a bound form that adds a new student, however, I've decided I don't like bound forms as weird stuff can happen (like when the user exits in another way than I anticipated) so I'm making an unbound form which will add the student when a button is clicked. I already have this working on some other places so this should be no problem anymore.
However in my database a lot of student information is optional and only a first and last name are required (and ofcourse an autogenerated PK). So my question is how do I deal with these fields that might or might not be empty?
I could make a fairly big If ... ElseIf... construction where I slowly fill a String with all the optional fields but I was wondering if maybe there are some better ways to approach this?

How to get a third combo box on a form to be optional.
I have a form with two combo boxes which filter out the results on a query.
However I want the third combo box to be optional i.e. if it is blank then just the results of the first two combo boxes are shown. If the user selects all combo boxes then obviously the results are based on all combo box selections.

On the access form I have designed , I need to give optional search option to the users. I have the following search options on the form (screenshot attached):
From Date
To Date
Port
Vessel
Voyage
---------------------
The query is as follows:
SELECT dbo_VESSEL.VESSEL_NAME, dbo_VESSEL.VESSEL_CD, dbo_VESSEL.VOYAGE_NUM, dbo_VESSEL.PORT_CD, dbo_VESSEL.DEPART_ACTUAL_DT, dbo_VESSEL.DIVISION_CD
FROM dbo_VESSEL
WHERE (
(dbo_VESSEL.VESSEL_CD Like [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtvessel]) OR
(dbo_VESSEL.VOYAGE_NUM Like [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtvoyage]) OR
(dbo_VESSEL.PORT_CD Like [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtport]) OR
(dbo_VESSEL.DEPART_ACTUAL_DT BETWEEN [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtfromdept] And [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txttodept]));
----------------------
However, the form still prompts me to enter values for all the boxes and still doesnt show the correct data.

I am amending some Code I found online for an audit table, I need to store additional information in the table that is associated with some forms but not others.
I have researched about putting optional variables in, but I read this only works with the type VARIANT.
Is there a way to make a string optional as my fields contain text?
here is my code so far:
Sub AuditChanges(IDField As String, UserAction As String, Optional UserID As String, Optional DeviceID As String, Optional SimID As String)
On Error GoTo AuditChanges_Err
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
Dim datTimeCheck As Date
[Code]...

I'm relatively new to MS Access (using MS Access 2013 but the db should work on 2010, too) and try to develop a database for an NGO I'm working in. I created almost all the tables (all that I need for now) and made the relationships.
However now I start to create forms and later reports for the actual user. The database will store information about clients and track consultations and assistance the NGO gives to them. There will be around 50.000 to 70.000 clients in the main table. Every client has a specific Individual ID and is member of a family which itself has another specific Group ID.
Now here is my problem: The User usually searches for the respective family by the Group ID. I implemented this with a search query using the ID number of a search text box. All done and no big problem.
But sometimes the ID number is not known so the user needs to search by name (First and Last Name). I use to different textboxes for this and it works in a similar way like the number search by query (Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_SearchIC]![txt_LName] & "*"). All still good However since most of the clients are actually from arabic speaking countries, converting the names into the Latin alphabet is bound to fail and produce a lot of misspellings. Therefore I added 2 more textboxes and 3 comboboxes for the user to give more information about the client and therefore make it easier to search for the person. I was able to produce a query which gives you the right result if you have ALL information at hand. However, this is not always the case.
1) But I cannot find a way to tell the query that if the a certain textbox or combobox is empty, it shall just "ignore" it and use the information at hand. I tried this in the query by adding in the criteria OR .... Is Null. This is alright for one or two textboxes but for the many I have, it seems to be too many different combinations for the criteria. It just worked with some fields but others always had to be filled in...
2) If no information is given at all, the database should inform the user that he needs to enter at least on field. If nothing is found the user should get a msgBox saying "No IC matches your criteria".
3) The results of the searches should be given out in another form where the user can pick the person from 1-to-many results.
I attached a sample database with sample data and reduced tables, fields, and entries ...

Hi All,
I have 2 errored records in my large access database which I am unable to delete. As I scroll over either of these records I get the error "Invalid Argument" but the database is functional otherwise... Until Today!
Other users can get into the database but I get the "Invalid Argument" error before it even loads the main form.
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks

I have a database that uses quite a lot of outside sources. There are multiple users and each one of us now are getting the invalid argument error. When we received it before it was because the DB was huge. It has since been made smaller. What are other reasons as to why we are getting this error again? We have to get out of the database, compact it and then go back in in order to do anything with it.
Please help! Thank you.
