General :: Create A Macro That Begins After Update

Apr 3, 2013

I have a tabular form that lists all the records (address book). I'm trying to have a combo box filter the records by selecting a contact type (employee, supplier, customer). So far I have the contacts displaying in the combo box.I've tried to create a macro that begins "after update". Its an ApplyFilter macro.

Where Condition = [Contact Type]=[Contact Type Select]

[Contact Type Select] is the combo box.

When I do this, a popup box appears. When I type in the item I want, it works. I want this done automatically.

General :: Create Dataset With Ability To Search Through Macro Form?

Feb 23, 2013

i orginally thought i should do this in excel but i think when the dataset becomes larger and i want to eventually get it on the web - i thought its access i need?

i have created a mini dataset as an exmaple of what im trying to explain..i have in first column the objects, and columns after this are the elements needed to make the object (i have just labelled the element titles a b c etc - there will be LOTS of elements once i get the dataset created). so if i had a red blue green cream elements - a search would bring back both lights and lamps that i am able to make.

object A B C D E F G H
lights red blue green cream
lamp red blue green cream
garage red blue green cream yellow brown purple pink
house orange white green blue red black
garden orange white green blue red
garden house orange white green blue red

is there a way of creating a search lookup to this kind of information? a form which you type the criteria in and it brings back what you can make? if i was one element away from an object could I use a wildcard function to say, if you had black you could make a house?? etc

General :: Update Table Based On Form - Create Multiple Rows

Apr 15, 2014

I have a table with the following columns: Task, Visa type, time it takes to perform the task. There are several taks that are performed for all visa types. I want to create a form to enter data to the table in which for the field visa type I have a list box that can allow multiple values, however, I do not to create a single line with the task and on visa type all the types of visas selected. I want to create a line for each type of visa with the information introduced.

I don't know if this is possible, the reason for which I want for the form to create several rows depending on the visas types is because then I have a query that sums all the types of visas. Can this be possible? I don't want the people to introduce manually directly to the table the data and also that for the same taks they have to enter manually 50 rows with values. I want it to be more simple and easier.

Creating A Table Of Contents / Index / Need Macro To Create A Field

Apr 4, 2014

I have a situation where I have a report which I will generate to print our companies pricebook. I need an index/table of contents for customers to go to the page where a product is to look up prices. The problem is that we add and subtract products on a consistent basis.

So a new product will get added, but of course, to run alphabetically, there's no way to insert it, then renumber the pages for it to be easily found.to use a maketable query, which sorts all of the products alphabetically. Each time it is run, it will delete the previous table. I then need to have an autonumber field created to create my "page numbers". Yes, each time the pricebook is run, products can and will oftentimes get new page numbers.

So my thought is to have a macro run which creates the autonumber field to the table. This will then be the basis for the form, which will in turn utilize the "page number"/autonumber field to both serve as page numbers in the report. And of course, the table which is created each time will be the "table of contents".

Forms :: Filtering Data For Any Character That Begins With What The User Input

May 4, 2014

I am trying to filter data in a table using vba where I have a split form setup. My goal is to filter data where the user can input a character such as "a" for the "FirstName" field and have results from the table filtered with persons first name that starts with "a". Here is my code so far one of the text boxes.

Private Sub txtFirstName_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

If Me.Filter = "" Then
'Compares the values that begin with the input values in txtFirstName
'text box from the table field name FirstName
Me.Filter = FirstName & " LIKE '" & txtFirstName & "*'"

[Code] .....

I get a error in the else statement and please note that I am linking this form to an sql server so I can not delete or modify existing data in the table.

Forms :: Update Combo Box In Macro Environment

Mar 18, 2013

I copied Students application in Access 2007 and modified it to fit needs of a school for students with disabilities. I know absolutely nothing about macros, so where needed I substituted VBA. It is now a mix of macros and VBA. But now I cannot post values from a combo drop-down list on the second tab. I get a "boink" sound when I try to post the selection. I have adjusted the properties of each combo field to match where it was successful before and tried again. No results.

The fields are located on the second tab which lists contacts for the student. The proper values show up in the drop-down list. It is just that the value chosen will not populate the field.

I have used combo boxes extensively before, but never in a macro environment.

Queries :: Pop Up Messages When Running Update Query / Macro

Jan 1, 2015

I have 3 different "buttons" on my form that run individual update queries. I know these update queries are running correctly. Decided to make a macro that will allow me to run all these queries by clicking one macro button.

My question is: Is there some way to stop the pop up msg that advises I am about to run an update query and the next pop up msg that informs me of how many rows I am going to update?

These pop up boxes are starting to drive me crazy when I run the macro.

General :: Key Value Violation With Macro Append From Spreadsheet

Mar 10, 2015

I am having problems with an append from a spreadsheet into a pre-populated table. I am using a macro to do this.

The table is in the middle of a hierarchy of tables. For example:

table 1 - Audit - key: AuditNumber & AuditName
table 2 - Process - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef
table 3 - Risk - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef
table 4 - Controls - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef & ControlRef
table 5 - Control tests - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef & ControlRef & TestRef

The front end of the database has a form for each table. Once you create an Audit in table 1 you can create multiple Processes underneath this one audit. Underneath a process you can create multiple Risks...... hence a hierarchy.

I am trying to append data to table 4 - controls. I have copied the format exactly into excel. I have also prepopulated the Audit, Process and Risk data in the required tables.

The reason I want this functionality is to enable team members to populate control information (oftentimes up to 25) in excel and then upload them easily into the database.

The macro I have created will work when created a new table. but when I point it at the existing table 4 - Controls I get the Key value violation error.

General :: Macro To Prompt Depending On Checkbox

Nov 12, 2013

I need to display a message on a form after a record update has been done depending on whether a table field is ticked or not. If it is ticked I want one message if it is not ticked I want a different message, but here is the scenario.

I have a form and one of the options I have is to call up an address from a record in a table. I want it to display a message to advise whether there is a special requirement for delivery to the address, so in the table I have a checkbox field. If its checked, once the address has been pulled up I want it top advise 'special requirement' or 'no special requirement'.

I need to do this in a macro form, or expression form if possible as I already have an after update macro when that drop down is selected.

So on the dropdown list I have the following on the afterupdate function:

SearchForRecord
Object Type :
Object Name :
Record: First
Where Co0ndition - - "[ID] = "& Str(Nz([Screen].[ActiveControl],0))

That brings up the address from a record in my table onto this form, so what I want is if that record has got a tick the checkboxfield it prompts with a message and ok button.

General :: Macro To Manipulate Unstructured Data

May 5, 2015

I have some tables need to be imported to Access, which is not well structured. For example:

report
4/05/2014
from SQL server
Name ID Add.....
aaa 111
bbb 222

To be more specific,I have 4 csv files, that need to be imported into Access.

1. I'm building 4 linked tables so users can update the table as needed. Then run queries based on these tables to produce report. But maybe there's a better way? the file name and location might be dymatic, so anything like 'getopenfile' would be easier instead of linked tables?

2. These data need to be clean up first to become a 'database table'. (Delete first 2 rows, delete some columns, remove duplicates etc.) I know how to do them in VBA Excel, but never used Macro in Access before.

General :: Module Crashing After Changing Window Mode In Macro

Sep 10, 2014

We have been calling a main form to manage yacht races using a hyperlink/macro from a selection form which lists all the yacht races ..The main form was too big to fit on some screens so we changed it to pop up mode to allow it to be resized and use scroll bars. this works well when the form is opened manually and all functions run just fine

the hyperlinik/macro for race selection had originally been set up to call the main form in dialog mode but we have had to change this as it disabled the resizing of the form and the scroll bars..The macro tool doesn't offer pop up mode so i selected window mode = normal and the main form opens with a resizable window and scroll bars but all the functions called from this module now fail (error message = use of null value or similar and all the functions go into debug mode - the server is down and i can't access the system to get the exact details)

If i change the macro in the selection form back to window mode = dialog the functions work but i lose the resizing of the main form and and the scroll bars.

General :: Macro To Email A Form Once Condition Met - Open Outlook From Access

Apr 10, 2013

I have a macro set to email a form to a person once a condition is met. This works fine but I've discovered that Outlook (2010) has to be open BEFORE this macro is invoked.

I wanted to add a step to the macro before the one that makes it email that basically says to open Outlook.

I have tried the RunApplication macro, but I apparently am not getting the path right. I don't understand what the problem is.

I accidentally dragged Outlook to my desktop and therefore created a shortcut from my Start Menu, but now when I go to Microsoft Office in my Start Menu, Microsoft Outlook isn't one of the options. I can't find the path to where it may reside now.

I am using the path to the shortcut on my desktop.

C:UsersJust MeDesktopMicrosoft Outlook 2010

What else am I supposed to do?
