I have a form that runs a timer every 5 minutes. Depending on what I have put in another table it displays a message (or not) to the user with message details. However, if the user has multiple applications running and the Access application is not currently being used by the user (i.e. they may have Word running and have minimised Access) then the msgbox does not appear. So...
When I display the MSGBOX how can I make it override any application running so that the user is always immediatly aware of the message?

I have a form that loads when the database is open, and the form has buttons etc. that leads to queries and reports in the database. (Queries open in a form). Since most queries take a while to load, I was wondering if there is a way to Pop up a message box stating "Please Wait, Query is running..." (or something like that), and once the form opens the MsgBox should close automatically. (The user should not have to hit Ok button.)
Most users of this database would have restricted access such that they would not have navigation pane and toolbar visible - hence I want to make it a touch more interactive when a process is running...also if someone is new to access they might not notice that taskbar status and I don't want them thinking the program is stuck etc..
Hi all, I am trying to update a table in a database (Lets call that DbNew). I want that when DbNew form is loaded it automatically updates its underlying table (lets call it TblNew) by running a make table query (called "coversheet") that is located in another database (call that DbOld). DbNew and dbOld are all on a network and I dont have total access on DbOld (but I have created the make table query "coversheet in DbOld). I should also state that DbNew is bound to TblNew and I am not interested in keeping the old table in DbNew. Information is frequently updated in DbOld and all I am interested in is loading the most current info in DbNew so the current table can be deleted upon loading DbNew and a new one created. Here is what I tried doing and I have it in the form load event of DbNew. This however returns an error (Runtime Error 3010. That TblNew already exists)
Dim db As Database Set db = OpenDatabase("\networkdbOld.mdb") db.Execute ("Coversheet") DoEvents Set db = Nothing End Sub
P/S: I am not good at access in anyway I should state. Thank you for taking the time to read.
I have a running total query that seems to run but when I try to total the query results then Access will be "Not Responding". I tried to change it to a Make Table query because I need to use the running total result in another query. So I created a table but when I try to run the make table query it just says "Run Query" at the bottom. Here is the query:
SELECT [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].[AsOf], [OTMissing].[HRsEarn], (SELECT Sum(OT1.[HRsEarn]) FROM [OTMissing] As OT1 WHERE OT1.[Employee]=[OTMissing].[Employee] AND OT1.[AsOf] <=[OTMissing].[AsOf]) AS RunningTotal, [OTMissing].[RemainPP] INTO OTGenerated FROM [OTMissing] ORDER BY [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].AsOf;
My OTMissing query is 47061 rows. Does that have something to do with it? The only other thing it might be is that most of the records have 0 although I'm not sure why it would be a problem I thought I would at least mention it.
I have a database and one of the functions is to track the purchase of fuel. Part of purchasing fuel is registering what the current odometer reads. My query gets the Vehicle ID, Date of Transaction and Odometer reading. I want to show a report that shows how many miles the vehicle is has traveled for a certain amount of time. If it's for 2013 then I'll put the criteria for 2014 in the date. This will give me a list of all vehicles and their odometer readings. I then sort the date by ascending.
In the report I group on vehicle ID and then I want to show all their transactions and add up how many miles were driven.
Vehicle 1
1/2/201 1/5/2013 1/15/2013 ETC... Total Miles Driven in 2014: XXXXXX
Thanks for all your help on my last post, again have a problem to update the application, Everything works well but then I need toadd an extra table on my app. At first I thought I can add a table on my Back-End but when I open the Front-End it wont update.
Can someone out there help me how to add a table on apps. from the ground up?
I've always setup Front Ends and Back Ends so that a copy of the Front End is distributed to each Desktop.
I've now joined a new company (been here 6 months now) and the way things are done here is that one copy of the FE sits on a share and users open it from that location. This file contains no local tables and all data is connected to either Access or Oracle databases using ADO. The FE has built been utilizing User Defined Types to read all data in to memory.
I'm creating my first web app with Access 2013 and I'd like to allow users to run a query after supplying a parameter to be used in the query.Simple example might be to display a list of all records that contain a date older than "x" in a particular field - with the user supplying the value for "x" I understand that query parameters don't work with the web browser and that I need to use a macro to request the input of "x" and pass it to the query, but I can't find any examples of this kind or macro action (OpenDialog, I understand from Jeff's book).
Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Could anyone please tell me what is wrong with this event procedure? I get an compile error always. What I want is, if the condition is not met, the message box would pop up otherwise close the form. Please help.
Private Sub (Field Name)_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If (Me.MyFieldName = condition) Then MsgBox "My Message" End If Else DoCmd.Close End Sub
i have an event procedure with a msgbox using vbOKCancel. if the user clicks cancel, basically i want to cancel the event. If the user clicks OK, I want to resume the event and complete the bunch of commands. What statements do I need to do this. I assumed that cancel meant cancel.... but...
I am trying to popup a messge box that has multiple lines.
I have three textboxes on my form
When I click the button I want a messagebox to pop up and say ON FOUR LINES:
"Are you sure you want to update:" Textbox value 1 [The actual value] Textbox value 2 [The actual value] Textbox value 3 [The actual value]
I am starting with this but am a bit confused...Any help woudl be appreciated...
Code:If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to update this?" + "THIS:", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, _ "Save Record") = vbNo Then MsgBox "DOING NOTHING" Else MsgBox "DOING SOMETHING" End If
I've included the following code for when my report has no data.
Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer) MsgBox "No data for report" Cancel = True End Sub
but when you click OK on the MsgBox, the code falls over within the form, which originally opened the report on the calling line with an error message "The OpenReport action was cancelled".
This is the line of code in the form.... DoCmd.OpenReport "My report", acViewPreview, acEdit
Hi, I have a formcalled Register and this table contains Name-of-Employee, Username and some other fields. The form searches the Register table when someone wants the register, and if the username is already taken up by another user, it gives a message box saying that the username is already used, and also it will give some suggestions as well. I want the MsgBox to take the first letter of "Name of Employee" and then put it beside the username, and show it as a suggestion. Here is the code I already have: Dim d As Database Set d = CurrentDb Dim r As Recordset Set r = d.OpenRecordset("Staff Login")
Dim h As String h = Me.Username
r.MoveFirst Dim flag As Boolean flag = False Do While Not r.EOF If h = r![Username] Then flag = True End If r.MoveNext Loop
If flag = True Then MsgBox ("This Username already exists" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Here are some suggestions:" & vbNewLine & (Me.Name_of_Employee) & (Me.Username) & vbNewLine & (Me.Username) & (Me.Name_of_Employee)) End If
The code works perfectly up to here, but the thing is that I want it to show the first letter of "Name of Employee" beside the "User Name" and maybe the other way around.
Please help me as soon as possible, I am really in a great hurry
I have a message box that says "Backup complete" but it has an Ok button. Is there a way for the user to see the message and then close without hitting the ok button?
here's my code
MsgBox "Backup was successful and saved", vbInformation, "Backup Completed"
This seems like a dumb question but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do it.
I want to display a message box when a form is opened and displayed based on some test done in the Form_Current Event. However all the code in the Form_Current event is fired off before the form is displayed. But I want the form to be displayed first.
The MsgBox is modal so the form isn't displayed until I click the OK Button on the msgbox.
How can I display the form first and then display the MsgBox?
This should be simple but I just can't get it to work.
I have a form which has different account numbers and a percentage is alotted to each account number. Trying to create an unbound calculation that if it exceeds 100% a message comes up. My current code is :
If (Me.PercentTotal > 100) Then MsgBox "The total percentage cannot exceed 100%", vbCritical, "Check You Numbers" End If
