How To Change The Default Duplicate Message? And More...
Jan 14, 2005
Hello to you all, it's my 1st post here…
How can I change the default message (as you can see in the picture) that appear every time that I try to update my record?
I want to write something like "You Have to select a different Number"
And one more question, the message only appear when I'm pressing the record selectorbutton only after the user has already filled all the form) is there a possibility that I can write a code that will check for duplicate data immediately after the user typed it?
How to control the below message to something like this through VBA:
"The Job: " & JobNumber & " already exists in the table." or to open an alternate form where they can make the change. Allowing duplicates is not appropriate for what I am trying to accomplish. I just want a friendly way of rerouting a user to understandable answer.
instead of this:
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
:confused: I am having troubles in a form, whilst navigating through records shown in a form view, upon coming to the end of the recordset the default macro message box appears telling me its the end of the record set and then a second box appears after asking me to 'halt' the macros actions.
What I would like is to put in a customised message box telling me the end of recordset is nigh but I cannot get into the cod for the macro, I have been told you can and Im sure I have done it before.
the below scrip was taken from another forum member.
i have put this in the Forms / error VBA
but i still a little lost
i have set 3 fields to be indexed not to allow duplicate information (Forename, Surename, DOB)
i was then advised to error trap so it would highlight that i have enterd a duplicate record on typing in the DOB (As that as third feild to be entered)
so i then used the below script, however this doesnt highlight that it is a duplicate it just doesnt let me go on to the next record, the only time the error message is highlighted is when i go into design mode.
anyideas on where to go from here.
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) If DataErr = 3022 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis MerID alredy exist!" Exit Sub End If If DataErr = 2169 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis record will not be saved!" Exit Sub End If
In MS Access 2003 my tables are linked via a SQL Server. I'd like to change the default long-winded 'ODBC etc etc 'error message when a duplicate PK is added to a table to a more user friendly 'plain english' message. Can this be done is Access, VBA or even on the SQL server? (which I have acces to).
I have struggled with this for so long now I hope someone can help. I have a form called frm_Collections which is run from the query (qry_Collections). When I type into the Reg field in the Form I would like the user to know if the Reg details have already been used in a previous record. The database can have duplicates in this field, however a "Warning Message" would promt some investigation. I have tried loads of DLookup on Before Update, but really need setting of in the right direction. Thanks
I have a form - see attached image. The first text box is called Job_No. When a number is entered here how can I check that the number doesn't already exist when the user tabs to the next box. Then if it does exist display a custom message to the effect "This already exists" and not the Access default duplicate error message.
I have a form which is based on student records. What I'm trying to get Access to do is to bring up an error message as soon a duplicate student number has been entered. At present I've managed to replace the Access standard error message 3022 with my own by using the following code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) Const conDuplicateKey = 3022 Dim strMsg As String
If DataErr = conDuplicateKey Then Response = acDataErrContinue strMsg = "Duplicated record. Please recheck your data." MsgBox strMsg End If End Sub
However the error message only appears when you try to leave the form (e.g. start a new record). I would like the error message to appear as soon as the user leaves the Student Number text box on the form. Is there anyway to do this?
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 created a form that allows the user to create an Outlook email message using a saved HTML template in VBA but the users default Outlook signature is added every time the message is sent.
how to remove the default signature from the message body?
I have a single table in my database and I have to make a form for entering contact details for clients, staff, funding bodies and everyone else into this table. There is a phone number and what code I would use the get it to check if the number already exists.
If it does, I wanted it to return a custom message telling you what entries it already exists for by displaying certain fields so that they can be identified, such as name and organisation, but then I wanted the custom message to allow you to confirm entry of the data anyway. This is because there may have been an error in entry or as some people may be contacted on the same phone number, I want it to allow the option to continue and enter the data anyway.
How can I create an alert message to tell the user that there are an existing work order number in the table? I don't want it to restrict the entry, just inform the user that there is an existing work order number, do they want to continue.
Btw, the code will be attached to a combo box (cbowonum).
I have tried the code below, but I am not getting what I need. I have a table [Student Info] with a field [Student ID] as the primary key and many other fields. I added the Student ID field to my form, [Student Add]. When I input an ID that already exists I get an error code as expected but then my form still loads. I currently have a second form for updating student info [Student Update] for which I have a parameter form that asks for the Student ID. I would like to use just one form to add and update students if possible. So, if you add a new Student ID you can enter all pertinent data. However, if you enter a duplicate Student ID the form should populate with that student's information.
If I must have two forms (1 to add and 1 to update) and a duplicate Student ID is entered into the Add form, the user should get a message stating that the record already exists. Then, (Option 1) force the Add form to close without saving or (Option 2) give an option for opening the Update form. Either option is acceptable at this point because I am stuck.
When attempting to use the code below, I get a data mismatch error on the "Answer = DLookUp......" line.
Here's one I use on Social Security numbers for a pop up when a duplicate.... SS# is stored in table "tblApplicant"
Private Sub SocialSecurity_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim Answer As Variant Answer = DLookup("[SocialSecurity]", "tblApplicant", "[SocialSecurity] = '" & Me.SocialSecurity & "'") If Not IsNull(Answer) Then MsgBox "Duplicate Social Security Number Found" & vbCrLf & "Please enter again.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
I would like to create a custom pop-up Message when one attempts to add a duplicate record.
Currently, I have a default pop-up message when you try to add a duplicate record. I set the field as Indexed= yes(No Duplicates) which generates a default pop-up message but it is technical and wordy. I would like to be able to simplify the wording to just let the user know not to add a duplicate record.
So now, I'm using the code below to prevent duplicate name entry and it is working great - EXCEPT when I enter a first or last name which contains a ' (ie, O'Tool, O'Malley, O'Hern)...anyone got any ideas for me on how to make this not happen?
The error I get is:
Run Time error '3075'
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[Last Name]='O'Hern' And [First Name]='Lori'.
The code i'm using is:
Private Sub Last_Name_AfterUpdate()
'Check for duplicate first and last name using DCount
If DCount("*", "[Constituents]", "[Last Name]= '" & Me![Last Name] & "' And [First Name] = '" & Me![First Name] & "'") > 0 Then Beep MsgBox "This first and last name already exists in the database. Please check that you are not entering a duplicate constituent before continuing.", vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value" Cancel = True End If
I need to be able to produce an error on a form where the user attempts to create a new user that already exists. The error needs to be produced when the save button is clicked.
See below for the existing code on my save button which exists in form, 'frmAddEditUser':
Private Sub cmdSave_Click() If IsNull(cboManagerID) = True Then MsgBox "Please select a manager", vbExclamation, "Details Missing!" Me.cboManagerID.Requery
[Code] ....
Currently, if I attempt to create a user with the same Payroll ID as an existing user, my 'User details saved' message box is displayed and to the user it looks like a new record has saved successfully which isn't the case.
I need a message box to appear displaying something like "Payroll ID n already exists" where n is the 'PayrollID' of the duplicate record. (Is it possible to combine a value from a certain control and ones own custom text?)
Note: PayrollID is a combination of letters and numbers, i.e. two letters, followed by 5 numbers, e.g. JD12345.
For reference, the table/field and and control are called, '[tblUser].[PayrollID]' and 'txtPayrollID' (on 'frmAddEditUser') respectively; it is from this field and control that I want the error to be produced if the user is entering the same values which are existing in 'tblUser'.
I was using the following code on a field (ItemCode) that was indexed to prevent duplication of records. The intent is that the user will get an error message that a duplicate exists before they enter all the data for the record and get the built in error message that Access 2003 provides when an index violation has occurred.
Code: Private Sub ItemCode_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim Answer As Variant Answer = DLookup("[ItemCode]", "tblQuestions", "[ItemCode] = '" & Me.ItemCode & "'") If Not IsNull(Answer) Then MsgBox "Item Code already exists" & vbCrLf & "Please enter unique Item Code.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate" Cancel = True Me.ItemCode.Undo Else: End If End Sub
Now, the index for this is based on two fields (ItemCode and Question Group). I would like to display the same message before update but don't know how to include the second field in the syntax.
Hi i followed the link below http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179371 and was successful to put the password on my form. my question is how do i change the default password to my own. i have tried but failed. Any help will highly aprreciated
IT guy quit. New forms printer installed and unable to relate/find form or query that default printer is pointing to to change to new printer. Non programmer. Clueless. program is 10MB and database is 2.3MB searched through forms/reports/ and queries. too much **** to look at
I have tried to change the default database with the tools options general tab. I type in the change and it sticks as long as I do not get out of Access. However, once I do get out it goes back to the old default selection. How can I make this stick??
I have a column for default value of today's date "Date()". In the next column there is formula for no of days which calculates as
No. of days = ([Today's Date] - [Audit Date]/7*5 (/7*5 excludes sat and sunday).
My problem is that default value of date does not change as i open the table everyday. I know why. Coz i introduced the date column after 200 records already entered.
Now today's date only changes if new record is inserted.
How to get current today's date everyday automatically ? when we open the database next day !
note that I am using Today's date only for calculating number of day's formula. otherwise no function of this column.
I curently have a query based on a payments table. In the payments table there is a field called date (when the payment was processed).
I want to be able to display, in my query, the quarter that this payment was made in. It is based on financial quarters so quarter 1 starts on April the 1st.
The default of firstweek seems to be January the 1st. Can I change it to April the 1st - if so how?
I've tried to change the default of a yes/No field so that it's either NUll or "" or Yes. This has proved unsuccessful and all the fields are still showing as No for default unless I obviously select Yes
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the Default of this field to either Yes or so that there is Null?
