I have a form with a field called "CCN" and what I need to do is have some sort of code that will look at the table "Application Data - NE" and check to see if there are any duplicate records for that CCN on the "AfterUpdate" function and if so; spit out an error message saying "CCN already exist; please try another".
Does anyone have any ideas on how to code this?
I know how to do the custom error message; I am just not sure how to have it check for duplicates before the rest of the form can be updated/before the record is saved.
Hi. i am very thankful for all your help in my other queries for my database. i have one last question and i guess i will be done after that. i have a form which have 3 fields one is Number and the other is group and the next one is Account. all of them are combo boxes. I am trying to add this function in the Number field text box properties in afterupdate event which is as follow
Sub Number_Afterupdate() If not isnull(Number) Then Number=Format(Number, "000000") Endif End sub
The code is working fine. i debug it and run it no errors. i want to put this function in afterupdate. i copied this whole thing in the afterupdate box and when i go back to my control form try to enter numbers in the Number field it gives me this
Msaccess can't find the macro "private sub Mynumber" the macro or its macrogroup does not exist or the macro is new but has'nt been saved.
Can anyone help me out what i am doing wrong ? or can tell me steps what to do i really appreciate that and thanks alot FONZ :)
I have an "After Update" event procedure for a field on a form that calls a VBA sub. When I use a different VBA sub to input a value in the above mentioned field, the "After Update" event does not occur, even thought the data in the field has been changed. (Of course if I manually enter the data, the field "After Update" event works.)
Is there a flag or condition that needs to be set in my VBA sub to let the field realize that it has been changed? Or possible a way to call the fields AfterUpdate Sub?
I tried having a my sub call the AfterUpdate sub to see what would happen, but didn't get it to work. I got a bunch of error and didn't feel like this was really the way to go.
I also could just duplicate all the code in the AfterUpdate sub for the field, but we all know that that is not a good idea.
I have structured a subform as a datasheet to allow users to copy and paste from Excel into the database. Datasheet has numerous fields and 18 rows. I have set up recalculations of other data in the AfterUpdate event of the fields in the datasheet. This works perfectly until the user copies multiple rows from Excel and pastes them (one column at a time) into the datasheet. Is there an event I can capture when the user copies and pastes a column? Muchas-Grasias for any assistance.
I have a form with (among others) a Y/N field and a multivalued field. The Y/N field indicates whether or not the resident is year-round or not (seasonal/snowbird). The multivalued field contains the months the resident it here. The user wants me to auto-select all months in the multivalued vield when the year-round field is set to yes in order to minimize data entry.
I have been trying to use an AfterUpdate Event using the following syntaxes as a test but Access doesn't like the format at all:
[Master Table].[Months Available].[Value] = "June" (this gives 2465 error) Me ! [Months Available].[Value] = "June" (this gives a 424 error)
I'm not at all fluent with VBA but have been successful in populating form fields using data fields in another table so thought this would be similar.
Any way other than not to use multivalued fields? Because that isn't an option.
So I have a bound form with the following onload code:
Code: 'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function Dim Completed As Double
[code]...
This works fine and set the caption and color of a label on this form.On this form I have several (now only a few, but in the end probably 40 controls or so) which will get updated by the user. When any of these controls are updated, I want the label lblpercentCompleted to get updated with the propper caption and color, however I am having trouble doing this.
I have an afterupdate event on each control with the same code as the onload code, however the message box below appears but the label does not update.
Code: Private Sub TransferDieCutsOn_AfterUpdate() MsgBox "Updating Label" 'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function Dim Completed As Double

When I pass a value from MyTextBox to MyComboBox using:
Me.MyTextBox = Me.MyComboBox
It does Not trigger the AfterUpdate Event of the ComboBox
I need it to! Any Suggestions??
I have tried: copy and pasting by but that creates a problem
Me.MyTextBox = BarCodeData$ 'passes the variable value to MyTextBox Me.MyTextBox .SetFocus Me.MyTextBox .SelStart = 0 Me.MyTextBox .SelLength = Len(Me.MyTextBox ) + 1 SendKeys "^c" 'copies the value of of MyTextBox
as soon as I add the below line, it no longer copies the value in MyTextBox Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
The onEnter Event of MyComboBox has the following code that works fine.
If I ran all the code above, all works but the "Copy" and thus anything that may be in the clipboard is pasted into MyComboBox, and the AfterUpDate of MyComboBox triggers.
I know that there are compelling reason NOT to use the SendKeys but I was just trying something
What I'd really like to do is eliminate MyTextBox and pass the Variable directly to MyComboBox:
Me.MyComboBox= BarCodeData$
And have it force the AfterUpdate Event of MyComboBox
I have a form with 7 types of weights (7 textbox rows) showing 7 weights in kgs and the others in lbs.When the user update any weight-kgs textbox, the opposite weight-lbs textbox will be updated automatically, and viceversa.Now, I'd like a fast way to code this action without writing the After Update_event for every textbox (they're 14).I have already setup textbox tags differently with "WeightKGS" and "WeightLBS", thinking about using "for each ... next" statement, but I have some problems to resolve what I want.
I have a form which has a list of actions on it. There are 5 fields to be filled in per action. A user can add a new action by clicking the arrow button to go to the next blank record. My problem is that there is one field which is required. At the moment, if I click off the record I have just entered, and I have not filled the field, I get a standard access message telling me the required property of the field has not been set to true because it contains a null value. Obviously this is fine for me, I know what to do but my users will not understand it. I need to trap the error and put out a simple message along the lines of 'Please Select a Classification'. I don't know on which event I trap the error. The problem is that they could click off the record at any point, i.e., they might fill in 2 fields then click off, or they might fill 4. So I want it to be trapped just before the record is saved to the database but only after the user has been given the chance to fill all the fields in. I don't want the message to appear after they tab from field 1 to field 2, if you get what I mean.
I have form with a series of text boxes in which users can edit the data that is populated in them. For one of the text boxes I want to add an after update event, so that if the user changes the value in the text box, a message window appears telling them to click on the submit button at the bottom of the form.
Does anyone know the code that I should use to make this message appear when the value in the text box is changed?
I am trying to "silently" send an email if for instance an event is trigger. In this case, if the amount of X is less to the amount of Y then send an email to remind me to buy more from product X.
I will be using Outlook for this matter.
The .Body should read something like "Your reserves from "Product X" are reaching its minimum. Please buy more of it"...
I would like to have a message box popup 30 minutes after a user checks a checkbox (check5). I am thinking I would have to have VBA code to run on the After Update property of the checkbox but not sure what the correct code would be.
Hello I have a three field table viz ItemName, ItemCode, ItemRate wherein ItemCode is Autonumber. What I needed was if I select 3 from dropdown of ItemCode, both ItemName & ItemRate be displayed on the form. A combo box can use to show one value and put other, but for twin values someone sugggested to use the AfterUpdate event. Is there no other way? I don't know how to code in Access. Can you please guide? Thanks
Is there a central reference on the net that explains the pro's and con's of each of the event types. I historically have used the OnChange event until the other day when someone suggested using the AfterUpdate instead.
Would like to ensure that I have the best event trigger being used where possible in various situations
I Can't figure out why this doesn't work on a form that I want to populate the Timestamp field when they edit the record. Looks like it works for others that have posted. Do I need to add a New Reference to the reference Libary? I'm running Access2k
I get an error box stating the procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name.
What am I missing?

I have a field on my form which I want to display a message box when something is entered.Private Sub BoI_AfterUpdate()Box = Msgbox("Is the booking date at least 7 days before the hiring and no more than 8 weeks in advance? If so, click Yes, otherwise, click No. You can check the calender on the Open Form under the 'Miscellanous' tab to check the date. Thank you.", vbYesNo, "Validation")If Box = vbYes Then Cancel = FalseElseCancel = TrueEnd IfEnd SubThat's my code, but I get an error after I type something in that field (BoI)."Compile error: Else without If" I have tried it with 'ElseIf Box = vbNo Then Cancel = True' but that also gives the same error.What's wrong with it?Thanks in advance. :D
I have a form with shipper information (5 fields) and a separate form/table of shippers. I want the ability to either enter shippers on the fly (one time shippers) or the option of picking a shipper from the shipper form/table and having it populate the 5 fields.
This is what I have and it works.
Private Sub FrgnShipCombo_AfterUpdate()
Me.FrgnShipName = Me.FrgnShipCombo.Column(1)
End Sub
Im looking for the how to use this method on multiple fields
I know what I want to do...but have no idea how to get started! I'm new to coding and using macros and quesries doesn't seem to help.
When field [TermDate] is updated with a value, I want to move the record from table [BadgeData] to table [Termed]. I'm sure this is easy for someone who'll be willing to throw out a few suggestions.
Also, is there anywhere in the code builder that will help identify what code (or commands) do? (Does that make sense?)
I have a split, shared database in which the Before and AfterUpdate events on my forms are not working at all. I tried setting a breakpoint to verify this and, sure enough, they are not firing.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this may be occurring?
Thanks so much for the help. I have tried searching the forum with no luck.
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form. What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly. What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date. I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine. The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
Below is the code I have created to calculate the values "CalcValue" and "CalcWork". The values for AssignValue, AssignPriority, Complex, Effort, Goal are all assigned by the selection made in the referred to/related combo boxes. However, the caluclated values return the concatonation of the intergers and not the sum of the integers. Additionally, if I am to use the CDec() function how do I specify the number of decimal places?
what am I missing here?
thanks!
Private Sub cboAssignPriority_AfterUpdate()
Dim CalcValue, AssignValue, AssignPriority, Complex, Effort, Goal, CalcWork As Integer
