I've now got my database firing off SMS text message.The only thing I'd like to improve would be the body of the text.Right now my code for my message is
Message = "Hi"
I'd like to incorporate some fields to speed things up so I could have things like..
Message = "Hi" [Customer Name]".
Hi I wonder if someone can help me with this.
I have an access database in which there are tab controls to collect text written about a subject. My problem is that there are nine tabs all with the exact same code behind them, but obviously varying object names for the relevant text boxes. Four of them work as expected and five don't.
The following code has been used to display a popup if the user types too much text and it works for the Environ_Plan text box:
Private Sub txtENVIRON_PLAN_Change()
Dim strMessage As String, varLen As Variant
varLen = Nz(Len(Me.txtENVIRON_PLAN.Text), 0)
If varLen > 250 Then
strMessage = "You have exceeded the limit of this field by " & (varLen - 250) & " characters." & vbNewLine
strMessage = strMessage & "The maximum allowable length is " & 250 & " characters."
MsgBox strMessage, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
(note that if the user types 251 characters an error message appears on the screen to say they have exceeded the number of characters allowed for that box and they cannot type any more text.)
The following text is used for the exact same outcome in Health but it does not work:
Private Sub txtHEALTH_PLAN_Change()
Dim strMessage As String, varLen As Variant
varLen = Nz(Len(Me.txtHEALTH_PLAN.Text), 0)
If varLen > 250 Then
strMessage = "You have exceeded the limit of this field by " & (varLen - 250) & " characters." & vbNewLine
strMessage = strMessage & "The maximum allowable length is " & 250 & " characters."
MsgBox strMessage, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
(In this case the cursor stops and the user cannot type any more text but no message appears to say why the cursor has stopped.)
I have double checked the actual variables in the Access database and they are set to the exact same values.
I am using Access 2002 on Windows XP Professional.
thank you in anticipation.

I want to create a message box with bold text
Ext:
MsgBox "1. Hello!" & vbCrLf & "2. How are you?" & vbCrLf & "3. See you again!", vbInformation, "Message"
Result:
1. Hello (this line is bold)
2. How are you?
3. See you again
I am trying to put a message box in an if statement and im struggling.
iif([Voucher]>0 and [VoucherNumber]>0,=MsgBox("Please Bla Bla Bla",vbOK))
I've searched google and 'Tech On The Net' and i still cant figure out why it has an error
the error is Complie Error: Expected Expression
The part hightlighted is the = sign. i remove this and it then doesnt like part of the Message. I don't know what is happening.
I have a report which retrieve some links of documents in the textbox linksassociated.
I would like to have a message box which tell me when the links associated has no value " No value for your link".
I tried this:
Code:
If IsEmpty(linksassociated) Then
MsgBox "No link has been found for this document", vbInformation
Exit Sub
End If
But nothing is happened. Maybe it's not on the right place...
I currently have a field on a form thats indexed (no duplicate values). What I want, is if the user types a existing social in the field, that it lets them know the social is in use and that the record will not save.
I believe this will have to use the before update event for my pSocialSecurity control and that I will need to use the DCount function.
I have a table that is a list of available UPC codes that through forms are being assigned to several different tables (types of items). When the UPC code is assigned, there is a yes/no box which is checked. I need to have a message box appear when the last of these UPC codes has been used (or better yet perhaps when there are a specific number left - such as 10 - so the user isn't all of a sudden locked out of any more work).
It could even be triggered when a specific UPC code is reached - they will be in numerical order (ignoring the check digit). Is there anyway to do this globally or would the check need to be on each form as the UPC is assigned?
I want to display the message "Processing Record ? of ???..." on the screen while my vba code is running without interruption. Since the msgbox requires the user to click a button to continue, what is the simplest way to display this message on the screen without interrupting the program or requiring user interaction?

Private Sub Form_Load()
If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then
DoCmd.Close

When a paramter search is done and no results found it shows up a message saying "No Registration Found" is is possible to bring up the same type of message in a report format?
access where in on clicking a button on an access form, I can insert Field A, B & C (all containing email ID's) in to a new mail message in outlook. Similarly I have a subject field which needs to go into the new message as subject.
I enter data into the table using the form where the button needs to exist.
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?
My database has been set with the 'All records' locking option set to prevent two or more people editing files at once. This is working fine but I wondered if there is a way to make a more personal message appear instead of the default Access one, just to maintain a uniform look.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a temporary table within my access database. I have a macro button that makes the table (thus deleting the old one in the process) and then appends information from three other queries to it.I want to stop the standard warning message from coming up. The message I get is below. I have already cleared the action queries check box so the warnings for the making table (if no previous table exists) query and appending data query have disappeared. However the below message still pops up when the make table query begins to try and delete the old table. How I can make it go away?
"The query you are about to run is a make-table query. Unlike most queries that displays data in Datasheet view, a make-table query creates a table and copies specific records from one or more tables and queries. If the table already exists, the query will replace the structure and contents of the table.If your intention is to create or replace a table, click Yes. To avoid being prompted when you run such queries, click the File tab, then click Options. In the Access Options dialog box, click Client Settings. Under Editing, clear the Action queries check box.
It is my understanding that a custom macro was built to pull text data from a file and import it into Access in the appropriate fields. This macro no longer works and will return the following error message:
"License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in design mode."
It only gives an option to click OK. When you do it shows a box called "Action Failed" that lists the macro name, condition, action name, and arguments with three button to click on the right of the box: "Step" "Halt" and "Continue". It appears that only the "Halt" button is available to be clicked.
Does this sound like an issue with the Access license or whatever license the macro might have? We're trying to decide if it's possible to restore the functionality of the macro.
I have a simple log table that I am opening from a button on a form and adding a new record to the table.The table opens bu I get "Permission Denied" as a message - however I can then enter the form and enter data with no problem.why the VBA code cant do the same? what does Permission Denied usually mean?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a split database with multiple users. Since I split the database, it runs slower than the unsplit version. I understand this happens. I would like to have a message pop up when the database is loading. It takes approx 2 mins to load. Users get impatient and start clicking. So, I wanted to have a message pop up to let them know it is opening.
I have the same problem with forms loading, I have 5 forms and each takes about 4 secs to load, so thought about a loading message there too.
I am trying to get the message Request added to show up when the new record command works.
The message "add button error" show if there are any errors, rather than just doing nothing and stopping.
However when it works I get both, I know I doing something very simple very wrong.
Private Sub bAddRecord_Click()
On Error GoTo errorhandler
RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
MsgBox "Request added "
On Error GoTo 0
errorhandler:
MsgBox "add button error"
End Sub
Is there anyway to customize the background of a message box that is brought up via a macro or VBA event? It would be kind of fun to have a stop sign image in the background of a "save and close form" prompt.

View 6 Replies View RelatedEvery time I re-open Access 2010 it pops up stating the following with a blank text box:
"[Forms]![Frm_system]![sub_frm_invoices].[form]![invoice_id"
I hit ok and the usual invoice_id param text box message box appears again.
Once that is over, I gain access. I can browse to the form - frm_system, open the sub-form sub_frm_invoices and remove the invoice_id field. Once I re-add it everything works fine (until I close the application).
I initially thought it was because the database was set to "compact on close" but I disabled that and it is still occuring .
I know this is the cause but as the sub-form itself uses a table record-source I know the field exists - not to mention I can simply delete and re-add it to fix it temporarily.
This behavior occurs when a field, a criteria, an expression, or a control in a query, a form, or a report references a name that Access cannot find. For example, a name could be misspelled or a field may not be available within that scope.
Basically it looks like the textbox displaying the invoice_id on the form is the problem. I can't figure out why though. When I remove it everything works - the queries work if I recreate it as well..
Is there an automatic way of moving the cursor when an outlook email is opened using a VBA event??
Right had a look and haven't managed to google this yet but the background is as follows
I have some code that puts a recordset of people's email into outlook and leaves users with the outlook message open ready for them to append anything they want to the message body.
At the moment the cursor flashes at the very start of the message and users need to scroll down with keys or the mouse to the end before they can add additional text.
I want to automatically move the cursor to the end of the outlook email message opened using a VBA event?
I have a report named Link_report which retrieve links to find some documents. I would like to add a Msgbox to say: " No link has been found for this document" when the case link is empty.
