Message Box For A Combo Box

Mar 22, 2006

I have a ComboBox [cmb111] that contains a '+' & a '-'. Next to this I have a text box that contains a $ amount. The operatives are required to press the combo box indicating if there is an Increase or Decrease and then type in the amount in the text box. After this has been done, the cursor moves onto the next combo box.
If the operative forgets to press the '+' or '-' I need a Message Box to appear that will remind the operative to press this.
I have tried the following code but it doesn't work. I tried to use Access help as a guideline but to no avail.

After Update function on the Textbox:

If Me.cmb111 Is Null
Then MsgBox(Select Increase or Decrease[, vbOKOnly] [, Selection Required] [, helpfile, context])

This is as far as I can get and then I'm stuck.
Could somebody please help me out with this? Thank you very much for your help.

Message Box If Combo Empty

Jul 25, 2005

Hi All.
Hope someone can help.

I have a form with 2 combos (cboStart and cboEnd) and button to preview a report.

The report is made from a Query, with the following in the completion date:-

Between [Forms]![frmReporting]![cboStart] And [Forms]![frmReporting]![cboEnd]

The user then chooses the start date and end dates in the combo's.
What I would like to do is have a message box appear if the use forgets to enter either date.

Many Thanks for reading this.

Cant See Message Box?

Sep 26, 2005

Hi All,
I have a form with a comboBox to select "employees".
I am using the combo.dropdown command to display 8-rows of employees.
I also use the Not_In_List procedure to check for NEW employees, and if not in the list , then the msgBox appears asking "Do you want to add this employee?"

The problems is the MsgBox is behind the dropdown menu of listed employees. Is there a way I can bring the MsgBox to display on top of everything, something like "acDialog", close the drop.down?

Thanks for your help....Enivia

Message Box Yes Or No

Nov 30, 2005

I have a Macro that I made to archive 4 different tables...using append queries and delete queries and attached the macro to a button on a form. I had to disable the warnings because there were just too many of them...i was wondering if there is a way to customize one warning (like: Are you sure you want to do this? YES NO) is there a way to do this and add it to my existing macro. I want to give the data enterer a chance to make sure they understand what is going on. I know i could create another form as a secondary confirmation screen and have done this for the time being but a pop up warning would look much more professional

thank you in advance

Pop-Up Message To Appear

May 9, 2005

Dear all:

I have created a form with a command button called "Dual Degrees".

This is based on a query. When this button is pressed, it returns a report with the corresponding image on it. It works well, but when there are no students in the database with dual degrees, it returns an error message. The message is: "Run-time error '13': Type Mismatch.

When I press the debug button, It defaults to this: Me! [ImageFrame].Picture = Me! [DEANS_SIGNATURE]
End Sub

Is there a way to for a pop-up message to appear when the Dual Degrees button is pressed saying "No Dual degrees to print" if there are no students in the dastabase with dual degrees?

Thanking in advance,

Dion
