As above, I've noticed that it will only trigger if there are no textboxes on the form with a higher tab index than the control the keyascii is set for. Any ideas why, or what I'm doing wrong?
I've found this a lot and never bothered trying to find a solution till now. :p

I have a continuous subform (part of a tab control on a main form) whose name and sourceobject are both "sbfCannulae". There are about 10 fields on the subform, and all are bound to fields in a table. The primary key of this table must be generated by combining two other fields, which must happen just before the record is saved. (I know calculated data should not usually be saved in tables, but trust me. In this case it is necessary.)
Right now the user COULD enter data into the primary key-bound textbox, but since the user is me, I make sure not to do that.
When I enter data into all fields except the primary key, I get an error because the primary key cannot contains nulls...of course.
I use the following code to tell me when an event has been triggered.
Code associated with sbfCannulae:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_Activate()
MsgBox "cann activate"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "cann before insert"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "cann before update"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current()
MsgBox "cann current"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Dirty(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "cann dirty"
End Sub
When I enter data into a new record, the Dirty event is triggered, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to trigger any of the other events. No combination of values and nulls in any fields, clicking in other tabs, clicking to other records, or using the navigation buttons will ever trigger any events but Dirty.
The only msgbox I ever get is the one giving delivering the SQL error about the primary keys not taking null values.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello one and all
It may seem a rather simple question, though it continues to confound me -and I have searched to no avail :D
How do you trigger an event depending on what button is pressed on a msgbox?
For example, using a vbYesNo msgbox on a form, how can I assign events to either the Yes or the No option? Say, if "Yes" is clicked the focus would be set to a control on the form, and if "No" is clicked access would close down.
Any ideas?
I've currently got on the on click event of a command button (the bit in italics is fine, the bit in bold is not working!):-
Private Sub Command3_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command3_Click
Dim stDocName As String
MsgBox "Please select where you wish to save the exported file", vbOKOnly, "Save To Location"
stDocName = Month.Value
DoCmd.OutputTo acTable, stDocName, acFormatXLS
MsgBox "Do you want to select another History Extract?", vbYesNo, "Do you wish to continue?"
If intresponse = vbNo Then
DoCmd.Close
Else
Month.SetFocus
End If
Exit_Command3_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command3_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command3_Click
End Sub
But whether Yes or No is selected, the focus returns to the current form.
Cheers for any ideas
I have a form in my database that opens by default. I want to trigger a yes/no (yes would run a query, no would end) popup based on the value of a field in a table or query (i.e. if "now" is fifteen days past date in the table/query).
Any help would be most appreciated.

I have a combo box in a form which simply pulls a text field from a single table - approximately 100 values to choose from. On the After Update Event, there is a basic "If null this, else that" VBA which just hides a subform if the value is null. This works fine, except there are a handful of values (I've found at least 6) that when chosen, trigger the NULL portion of the code! All the values are very similar, so I don't know what the problem is - for example, the value "D-11" works, but neither "D-10" nor "D-12" does.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've read a few posts regarding removing the facility of the F11, open Db window, but is there a way to capture if someone presses F11?
I have a few people (users) who think they know a thing or two about Access and I'd like to know if/ when they're accessing the Db window.
I was hoping for the ASCI code or similar for the F11 key!?
Thanks

How do I make a botton on a form open a report when pressed?
thanks
we have gotten in to a routine of copying, pasting and bastardizing old databases instead of creating new ones from scratch - and we've had a problem recently where we've started off with one master database back in 2011, which has then been the base for practically every single major DB we've created ever since.So this month we've copied and pasted (again) and started adding new features to what's already there, and the thing has corrupted. I've copied and pasted the same version three times and added all the new bits, and the same thing has happened every time.
So this time I've copied and pasted and tried my best to clean up, get rid of the dead weight and (where necessary) create completely new objects, split into FE and BE versions etc, and I've reduced the overall weight of the DB by about 50%.Due to time constraints I now need to crack on and get this thing working again and, for the most part, it does - but now I'm having trouble carrying the filter over from the OnClick Event of a form button to the next form it's opening.
We're using the DB to record attendees at an Event we're running later in the year. This is the code that I'm running from the OnClick Event of the button on Form1:
Code:
Private Sub btnBkg_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnBkg_Click
Dim stDocName, vFilt As String
Dim vBkgRef As Long
Dim vContactID As Long
[code]....
You can see I've tried to use vFilt instead of the actual code for frmBooking's Where Condition, but for some reason it does not carry over to the form whichever way I try - when I open the immediate window and type ?vFilt it returns a blank entry. Not sure how to show the 'Where Condition' in the Immediate Window?Before Update, Open and Activate of frmBooking, but I'm hoping that the problem lies with what I've posted up here, as I don't want to get into posting the frmBooking code...
It may be worth noting that the button resides in the Header of a continuous form, with conditional formatting that changes the button caption depending on whether there is a value in the BkgRef text box of the record that has the focus.
Does this happen on any key or can I specify the return key. If so how?
Thanks

Hi,
I am wondering whether it is possible to trigger the run of a macro when a form window is closed using the close button in the top right of a standard window?
If not, then is it possible to display a form in a window without the minimize, restore and close buttons?
I am currently using a setup whereby I have a button to close a form, and when clicked a macro is executed. However, the user could just as easily close the form using the close button of the window and the updates would not be performed.
Thanks in advance

I have a form which has been in use for some time now, and works extremely well for all users; as part of a recent update to that form, I added a few events to various controls; most of them are message box prompts to remind the user to do something, but one is automatic entry of text into a memo field when another field is updated, and it is really this last one that is causing an issue.
There is a command button on the form which has an embedded macro, created using the wizard - it is probably the last, or one of the last few buttons that have a macro as opposed to VBA.
Essentially, when this button is clicked, I would like a duplicate of the current record to be made (thus giving it an Autonumber ID of its own), and if possible I would like this to be done without triggering any of the after update events on the form. Is there a way to disable these events and copy a record in its entirety, re-enabling the events at the end?
I have the below VBA in a from for it to filter the records below based on the criteria:
Private Sub Search_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = IIf(Len(Me.AssignedTo & "") <> 0, "([AssignedTo] Like ""*" & Me.AssignedTo & "*"") AND", "") & _
IIf(Len(Me.OpenedBy & "") <> 0, "([OpenedBy] Like ""*" & Me.OpenedBy & "*"") AND", "") & _
IIf(Len(Me.Status & "") <> 0, "([Status] Like ""*" & Me.Status & "*"") AND", "") & _
[Code] ....
When I click the search button nothing happens, is there something wrong with my code??
I will have a PC and a number of scanners in a production line. I will need at least 15-20 scanners and would like to plan for more if needed. When an operator clicks on a button I would like to have each of the scanners triggered and return the value. They can be done in turn or all at once (preferred for speed). I need to know which value came from each scanner. I would then compare the barcode read at each station versus what is supposed to be at that station and either pass or fail.

I need help with listbox problem:
I made a listbox contains peoples name from A to Z.
I want to sort it via A to Z button press.
It's similar with customer phone list form in Northwind.mdb sample,
due to my limited knowledge, I can't replicate it using listbox.
Any sample to do this?
Thankyou.

Hi I really hope some one can help me out here.
Here the outline of the situation. Every Friday evening I get sent a load of press adverts, which I have to put on the Intranet. This will involve detaching the ads, renaming them, adding them to the site with the Name of the paper, the date, and the organisation they belong to. What I want to know is if there is a more automated way of doing this. I was thinking weather I could detach and drop the ads into a folder and get a Access database connection to the press ads page. Which in-turn would allow me to insert the ads for the last seven days, yet keep a account of all ads which can be a called upon, via perhaps the use of a search function. This is just one idea I have had, are there any other ways I could make this mundane job easier?..

if its possible to have a button that after clicking it, it doesn't show certain records. Reason being I have a "shows" for each month on our personal site and amazon, and we've been selling on those for about 2 years, and I have a "show" for each month. But, that quickly clutters up the list box. Any way to create a button the (after typing in the name) it doesnt show only those record(s)?

I have a table with Invoice Value, and Commission Value in it. On the associated form I enter the Invoice Value, and also the Commisison value [which 99% of the time is set at 20%.
I am trying to make a button which, when pressed, enters the calculated commission in the form field (and underlying table) - I realise this could be in the 'On Click' property on the form, but in VBA I am after something like.
Private Sub btnCommCalc_Click()
tblSales.Commission = tblSales.Invoice * 0.2
End Sub
Could someone help me with the syntax? (I can then move on to using a variable, rather than hard-wiring the 20% ;-)
Many thanks
i want that when i press the space key on my keyboard oi will exit from the form. i searched on the interne t but i couldn't find the proper one. I don't know exactly what i have to write in vba.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhat I have is a password entry popup, it's very simple and there is only one password, so it's coded into the form.There is an unbound text box for the password, set with the password input mask.An OK button and an Exit button.The OK button has this code on the 'On Click'
Code:
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
If IsNull(passwordentry) Then
passwordentry = "*"
End If
[code]...
Now what I want it to do is automatically move to the OK button when the correct password is entered, so that you can just hit Enter.Currently you either have to press the OK button with your mouse, or hit Enter to move to the OK button and then press Enter again to activate it.
I have a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField]
"kick the ball"
"return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new]
"kick the ball" "kick"
"kick the ball" "the"
"kick the ball" "ball"
"return the pass" "return"
"return the pass" "the"
"return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.
Is there any way to press a command button a certain amount of times based on a value in a text box.
i.e.
text box value = 5
button gets pressed 5 times with one click...
I can add record successfully... but can't view it accordingly when I press navigate buttons in the form...
Database is attached ....
Is there a code for when I press a button it refreshes and clears out certain text boxes in my form?
