How To Customize Append Query Confirmation Message
May 11, 2005
Hi,
Is there any way to customize append query confirmation message? Unclicking Confirm Tools-->Options-->Edit/Find-->Confirm-Action Queries disables all warning messages.
My query takes some records from one table and append them to another table. When I run the query, first warning message says "Warning you r about to run an append query that will modify data in your table" (this is the message I do not want to see) and then if OK is clicked, the message says "you are about to append XXX rows...(this is the message I would like to customize)
I am trying to create a button to delete record, I have used the wizard and it works fine but now I want to have a confiirmation message to confirm that they really want to delete this record.
below is my code. The prompt works but the record never deletes.
Any Idea's
Private Sub cmdDeleteRec_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdDeleteRec_Click
DoCmd.SetWarnings False If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to delete this record?", vbYesNo, "Warning.........") = vbYes Then Me!frm_Entry.SetFocus DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord DoCmd.SetWarnings True Else DoCmd.SetWarnings True End If
I am building a simple db from scratch using the limited knowledge i have, and a lot of the information gained from searching these forums as a guest. I've now reached a point where I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so any help would be gratefully received!!
I have a single table, single form and single report (told you it was simple;)). The table has nearly 2000 records and 2000 pictures (linked). On the form I can print every record with a single click of a command button. This is great, but I would like a message box to popup and confirm the print action, as this is gonna be expensive if its clicked on every record!!
If anybody can help, I would be chuffed!! I searched the forums and can't seem to find anything on this!!
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.
Hello, I used a commond button to run a query in a form. This is an append query that appends the new setups in the form to a table. However, every time I click the button, a message come out: You are about to run an append query that will modify data in your table.
Since this is a form application, I do not want this message come out when I click the button. Can anyone tell me how could I stop this message come out when I click the button.
I have a database that logs complaints. I've added a field to calculate the age of a complaint based on the date received and the date resloved. To update this field I have an update query that runs after someone closes an update form. My problem is that I recieve two dialog boxes one that confirms that I'm will be updating the table and another that tells me how many rows were updated. I would not like those boxes to appear so the update would look transparent.
I have written some codes to insert data into a table. I'm trying to get rid of the pop up message which say:
You are about to append one row(s). Once you click yes, you can't use the undo command to reverse the changes. Are you sure you want to append the selected rows?
hi Guys, I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
is there any way to get rid of deletion confirmation when you run a make-table query. though I unchecked all boxes under Confirm on Edit/Find tab, still popping up.
I'm wondering if its possible to have a "would you like to save changes, yes/no" thing pop up after data has been added or changed to a form, or have the option to save when closing a form and if no is chosen then any data changed is not saved.
When i try to insert data into a backend Oracle table (with ODBC) using a form, (i use docmd.runsql "insert....") Access gives me a message like"You are trying to append 1 row to the table are you sure you want to append?"
i want to suppress this message as i have to insert into 2 tables and delete from 3 tables when the user enters some data in the form, so it asks the user five times (say 2 times for insert and 3 times for delete..) when it inserts or deletes each table. the user doesnt want this to click every time when they do that... how do i suppress these messages, is it Access-specific or oracle specific? I am not able to do this..! is this any kind of exception that i have to put in??
My training table consist of 3 fields and using unbound form
1st field custid (text field)
This can't be NIL or Can't duplicate
What I am looking for learning point of view (duel check at same field with different behaviour).If record is duplicate "Popup message" and curser move back to same field.If field is empty "popup message" Do you want to continue, If yes, move back to field if NO, close form..Therefore, on Before Update event I wrote the following.
Private sub txtcid_beforeupdate (cancel as Integer) If Dcount("[custid]", "[customerdetails]", "[custid]='" & me.txtcid & "'") > 0 Then MsgBox "Customer ID already Exists !!!!" Cancel = True Me.Txtcid.Undo
[code]....
Just a quick update "I tried to used YES or NO option in Exit event too, but no success.
I have a form and I have created an event procedure on the "before update" property of the form. My procedure is:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim pwd As String pwd = InputBox("Is the information you entered correct?") If pwd <> "yes" Then MsgBox "Record Not Saved" Me.Undo Else MsgBox "Record Saved" End If End Sub
the record is not saving under any situation. What do I have wrong?
I am designing a transactions database for some of my clerical staff. I've inserted a data entry subform into the main transactions form (which also has a subform that summarizes all the selected company's past transactions). This data entry subform actually has as it's record source a table that simply stores that one record temporarily.
So when the user is finished entering their current transaction, I have a Save button that actually just opens a popup form which displays the data they entered into the data entry subform, giving them a chance to verify their entry is accurate. This form has a Save button which runs an append query and a delete query, adding the record to the permanent Transacations table and also clearing the temp table.
The problem I have, I think, is that when the popup form opens, the main form data entry subform still has that record locked as exclusive. I believe this is the case because while I am indeed able to make changes to the fields on the popup form, none of these changes appear in the temp table. In other words, the user is not actually able to use the confirmation pop up form to make any necessary edits to their entry. This makes the form sort of useless!
Ok, I got this template from the Microsoft Office template site. I want to customize it a bit, but I have been trying and trying and cannot get it to do what I want. I would like to get rid of the - after the postal code, so that it looks like 68214 instead of 68214-. I have attached the file if anyone is willing to take a look and edit it for me or if you could try it out and explain how to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm currently using Microsoft Access 2000. In there I've created a Customized Menu. Now what I'm looking to do is - when I click a menu item, I want it to enable another menu item. I tried using "SetMenuItem Action" but it keeps on telling me that this function only works with customized menus. I'm sure I created a customized menu.
Thanks for all your numerous help. I posted this earlier, but got no response, your urgent help is required.
I usually get 2 error messages on my form.
When I set up the table, I made the date field mandatory. The first error message, error 3314, "The field 'Memo.Date' cannot contain a Null value because the required property for this is se to True. Enter a value in this field"
I would like to change this error message to: "Enter Date of Memo"
The second error is: Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time error '490': Cannot open the specified file
End Debug buttons.
I would like to change this error message to: "The file does not exist/it has not been previously saved."
And I don't want the End or Debug buttons to show.
I would like to create my own input mask for a ssn field. The problem is that my ssn field has 13 characters (text) and the following format 000-00-0000xx.
The xx stand for any additional 2 characters.
Is there a way I can create an input box for a similar format? Thanks.
When we use DoCmd.SendObject, the object name is always the same name of table, query or report.Can we customize object name to something else more descriptive? For example:
If I send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about John Smith, the object name now is "SalesPerSalesman.pdf" If i send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about Maryann Johns, the object name would be again "SalesPerSalesman.pdf"
However , the object name I would like "SPS_JohnSmith.pdf"and the report for Maryann Johns, I would like as object name "SPS_MaryannJohns.pdf"
Syntax DoCmd.SendObject ObjectType, ObjectName, OutputFormat, To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, MessageText, EditMessage, TemplateFile ObjectName � Name of table, query, Report etc.
I need to customize the sample Contact Management DB (CONTACT) that comes with MS Access 2000.
I removed the field ‘Region’ in the ‘Company’ table, in the ‘Company’ form, and in the ‘ContactAddress’ query, respectively. Now, when I try to access the ‘Enter/View Contacts’ form through the Main Swithboard's button, it shows a small warning windows asking to ‘Enter Parameter Value’, referring to "Company.Region." What did I wrong and/or should I do to correct this problem?
i have a combo box on a payment form which shows existing permit #s. i'd like to make the sort order show the most recently added permit first. i clicked on the build button next to RowSource on the data tab of the properties of the combo box which opens the query my combo box is based on. there are only 3 sort order options...ascending, descending, & not sorted. can this be done?
the permits form has a button to open the payments form (payments can also be opened alone too - ie. if somone applies for a permit today but pays for it tomorrow...). usually this will not be the case but that is why i have to keep it either combo or list.
I just split my DB into a front end and a back end. I only want the users to have access to 2 forms in the DB because the form already has buttons that link to all other forms and reports needed. How do I customize the front end view so that they only see these 2 forms?
I have the following script which customizes the right click menu.
The problem that I am having is that I call the script to add the right click from the form open event and then multiple users can not access the same database.
I use one for forms and then another for reports.
If I manually close the open forms then reopen them then multiple users can use the same database.
If I close and reopen forms with vba the right click still remains making the database not accessible to multiple users.
It is definitely this as when I comment it out from the open event of the forms then everything is OK.
I call the following from the open event of the form as follows
Code: Public Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) FormsShortcutMenu End Sub
The following is stored in a module
Code: Public Sub FormsShortcutMenu() Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl On Error Resume Next CommandBars("cmdRightClick").Delete
