My question is more general than specific. Yes, I am getting the error mentioned in the Title. The full text of the message is:
The expression On Close you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Invalid or unqualified reference.
This is from an Access project that I inherited. To make it worse, I think that I may have simply fat-fingered the VBA file somewhere, but this error does not tell me where, and this happens immediately when I try to go into Design mode.
Is there any other information I can get (or something I can do) to find out exactly where/why Access (2007) is unhappy?
Not sure if this is a access or windows problem but I thought I'd see if anyone has an answer. I have a database that I built to track certain requirements and generate reports and preformatted letters. On the win2k machineeverything works just as planned. When moved to the server, that same machine still has no problems. However when I move to a winxp machine (still using office 2K) the database statrts into the control panel like normal. Problem is as soon as I try to open the first form I get an error that the database is referencing a broken or missing file "outlctlx.dll". The only real code I have is the mousehookmod which to the best of my knowledge was written by Terry Kreft & Ken Getz. This is the only other thing I can think may be calling that dll, but can not find the call reference. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
main - [Welders fm], 2nd level - [PipingQualificationTickets tbl Subform] 3rd level - [WelderWps fm] This is a pop up form but is related to the 2nd level formVBA Error
I have a dropdown box [Wps] (3rd Level PopUp) with an after update function to lookup a query [DLookUpWeldWPS Qy] and insert the text into [Wps(s)QualifiedFor] on the 2 level [PipingQualificationTickets tbl Subform]
I have three forms that are related to each other. When i click on a button on the second form I get this error: an expression that has an invalid reference to the property form/report. But why do I get this error??
At the third form I have two sub forms.This code are in the first sub form: Segment_subform. Sub Form_Current()
Dim ParentDocName As String
On Error Resume Next ParentDocName = Me.Parent.Name
If Err <> 0 Then GoTo Form_Current_Exit Else On Error GoTo Form_Current_Err Me.Parent![Blokk_Subform].Form.Requery End If
I think it's something wrong with Me.Parent![Blokk_Subform].Form.Requery. It doesn't recognize blokk_Subform.
I have a form with two subforms (the second is the child of the first). I want to filter a combo box in the second subform using the record of the first as the filter.
When I open the form from the object list I get this '2455' error. When I press "end" and the form opens the requery does what I want it to do with no further error, using this code in the "got focus" event of the combo box in the first subform:
"There is an invalid use of the .(dot) or ! operator or invalid parentheses."
This is the code that errors out: Code:If Not IsNull(Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSection) Thensection = Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSectionEnd If
All it's doing is checking to see if a user selected anything from the combo box. Thanks!
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.
Every now and again (for no apparant reason) a record in my table becomes corrupted (the fields all change to #Error, Error etc) Also, the relationship between that and another table breaks and when I try to go into the forms I get the "Invalid Argumnent" message
I am running Win XP Pro, with Office 2003 accross a network, with a FE/BE split
I did a quick search and really didn't find anything related to this. Though, I'm sure it's pry happened before.
I have started work on a new front end and have several linked tables to our back end. As well as copies of them for the purpose of the front end. On load the backend tables update the front ends tables, and on exit the front end tables append/update the back end tables.
I began work on a data entry form for fields residing in the front end tables and found that when I attempted to make a command button for the purpose of record navigation I received the error "Invalid Use of Null" and all of my options were empty (Concerning the control functions) and everytime I changed action categories i recieve the same error.
Also, I tried to work around it with a combo box for searching, only I don't have the option available to make it search.
So . . . I tried to circumvent with an unbound text box that performed a macro searchforrecord but I receive and error that the table I'm search within is not open.
Any clues would be great, any fix would be immaculate. I'm a bit flabbergasted.
I have a left-join query where I know that some of the values in the left-hand table have no corresponding values in the right-hand table...that's why I used a left-join: I want all the values in the left-hand table to show up. I would expect that records without corresponding values in the right-hand table would show up as nulls (I swear I have dozens of other queries that work this way) but in this one, they show up as "#error" instead.
This is a problem because I want to do some calculations on this field. Normally I would use the nz function to change the nulls to zeros.
So, 1. Any idea why this is happening? 2. Is there a way to change the #error values to zeroes, similar to using the nz function?
HEre's the SQL: SELECT FeederInventorySummary.machine, FeederInventorySummary.Size, FeederInventorySummary.Leaf, FeederInventorySummary.Type, FeederInventorySummary.CountOfFeederID, FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederQty FROM FeederInventorySummary LEFT JOIN FeederNeedsSummary_7 ON (FeederInventorySummary.Type = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Type) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Leaf = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Leaf) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Size = FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederSize) AND (FeederInventorySummary.machine = FeederNeedsSummary_7.ActualMachine);
For every record without a corresponding record in FeederInventorySummary_7, the FeederQty field shows up as #error.
Can anyone amend this statement because presently I am getting an eror 'The expression you entered has an invlid string 'WHERE Month([PaymentDate])>07 And <11'
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.
I am trying to import data into Excel using a New Database Query, but receive the error "Invalid Bracketing of Name 'mdb.'." I can preview the data in the Query wizard, so it seems like Excel is finding the data, but I always get the above error.
I have performed the exact same process on another machine and it works fine. Is it possible that excel or access settings are causing this error, or perhaps my ms office is corrupt?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
While trying to create a query in a new database on tables linked from a converted 2003 to 2007 database. When including tables in my query, two of the three say " is not a valid name. Check for special characters...etc. I have renamed the tables, verified field names and there are not any special charcter. Can someone tell me where else to look for such problem. It will let me buid the query but not use it. I appreciate any help you can give me. I have built queries using the same tables in the converted database with no issues.
I have a form that runs a simple macro. The problem is I'm getting the "Invalid Use Of Null" error becuase some of the fields are empty. There are 12 fields....one for each month. I know there's a way to use the nz function but I do not know how and where to apply it for each field.
I've got this line of code under my form_current() envent (frmEmails)
str2 = Forms!frmMain!txtSQL.Value
but when I start the DB I get the Invalid use of Null error,
now, it seems that I need to define my txtSQL.value = "" but am not sure where. I've tried under frmMain_load event but it seems that's not the right spot...
is it problem that I had put that code on form_current() or is that OK and I just need to define my txtSQL.valuse somewhere else.
Hi, I have some code that runs on Form_Load() It basically uses a case statement to say if a value in a combo box equals one set of values then make somethings visible and invisible, and for all other values make some other things visible and invisible.
The problem I have is that I have defined the variable as a String and if the combo box does not yet have a value when it loads, which is quite likely then it will return an error - "Invalid Use of Null".
Access says the name I have for my query is not valid. I can’t see why and the help is no help at all!!
Error says: ‘orders_by_project_query’ is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
Here is the name of my query ‘orders_by_project_query’
I have also tried: ‘OrdersRptQry’ ‘qryOrdersByProject’
All the above get the same result.
The query is a look up on two tables to obtain subtotals for a number of orders.
The SQL from the query in SQL view looks like this: SELECT orders_table.order_id, Sum(CCur(products_table!unit_price*order_detail_ta ble!Prod_reqd_qty*(1-[order_detail_table.prod.discount])/100)*100) AS Subtotal FROM products_table INNER JOIN (orders_table INNER JOIN order_detail_table ON orders_table.order_id = order_detail_table.order_id) ON products_table.product_id = order_detail_table.product_id GROUP BY orders_table.order_id;
Any ideas why I get this error and how to correct it?
I have an unbound form with unbound controls that I am using for data-entry.
One of the controls, bEntry, is a checkbox. I have tried setting the default value to both false and to 0. Somehow, it doesn't take and so remains Null.
I have the following code running as part of the save routine. It gives me an "invalid use of null" whenever it reaches the highlighted text
Code:Dim Entry_B As ByteDim EntryCheckbox As BooleanEntryCheckbox = Me.bEntry.ValueIf EntryCheckbox = True ThenEntry_B = "1"ElseEntry_B = "0"End If
I have also tried changing it to say If Me.bEntry.Value < 1 Then etc.
Why can I not insert a null value at : rec("Outlet_ID") = hyphenit(rec("Outlet_ID")) in the code.
It throws a run-time error 94. invalid use of null.
the table has allow zero length strings set to yes.
Code: 'If RS.EOF then we're at the end of the recordset already, i.e. no records If rec.EOF Then rec.Close Set rec = Nothing Set dbs = Nothing Else rec.Requery rec.MoveFirst While Not rec.EOF rec.Edit rec("Outlet_ID") = hyphenit(rec("Outlet_ID")) rec.Update rec.MoveNext Wend End If
hyphenit: Code:Function hyphenit(str1 As String) 'check for hyphen already present using instr If IsNull(str1) Then hyphenit = "" Exit Function ElseIf (InStr(1, str1, "-") <> 0) Then hyphenit = str1 Exit Function Else 'if no hyphen, then iterate thru the characters one at a time until isnumeric = true 'then split the string using left(str1, character_pos -1) and mid(str1, character_pos) 'and concatenate with hyphen Dim character_pos As Integer character_pos = 1 For character_pos = 1 To Len(str1) If IsNumeric(Mid(str1, character_pos, 1)) = True Then hyphenit = Left(str1, character_pos - 1) & "-" & Mid(str1, character_pos) Exit Function End If Next 'if isnumeric is NOT true and end of string is reached then hyphenit = str1 End If 'no hyphen found, nor any numbers hyphenit = str1End Function
I have very very basic skills in Access and have been attempting to work with a database that a previous employee from my office designed. The other day another person in my office moved the folder on our office network that contains the link to open the database and today when I entered our database and tried to click on one of the forms to enter data it is telling me that the path name for that form cannot be found. How do I edit the path name for a form?
I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.
Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?
