I have a tblManualRewardIncident in there I have 3 fields I want to have my staff in put these rewards via a frmRewardIncidentEntry However im concerned over another staff member in putting the same data so I want the form to highlight on update that a duplicate is there already so cancel the data entry.
The 3 fields that need to check and match are StrataID , DateOfIncident , EndDateOfIncident these are all in the tblManualRewardIncident and appear as buttons in the form frmRewardIncidentEntry the buttons are as follows
cboStrataID , txtDateOfIncident , txtEndDateOfIncident
I want the VBA to run when I CLICK another button on same form cboSQCDP..All 3 fields must match exactly to flag a issue.
StrataID , DateOfIncident , EndDateOfIncident from tblManualRewardIncident
If it doesn't find a match continue and add the inputs in these boxes to the table if it finds a match flag a message and delete the data from the form.
If expression to determine if a duplicate records has been entered.
DateAte is a date MealType is a list box (text)
All I want to do is prevent two lunches, etc. from being entered on the same date. Code that results in the message box every time, regardless if a duplicate record or not.
Private Sub MealType_AfterUpdate() Dim strDA As String Dim DA As Date DA = Me.DateAte.Value strDA = "[DateAte]=" & "#" & DA & "#" If DCount("[MealType]", "tblmeals", strDA) > 1 Then
How can I create an alert message to tell the user that there are an existing work order number in the table? I don't want it to restrict the entry, just inform the user that there is an existing work order number, do they want to continue.
Btw, the code will be attached to a combo box (cbowonum).
I have a code that works great from the parent form but I decided to change the format and call it from a lostfocus event in the subform instead. Now I keep getting error 3314:"You must enter a value in the tbGuests.LastName field".
The code should copy the parent form fields and create x number of duplicate records according to a field on sub-form. It then runs an append query to add the information from the subform.
Code:
Private Sub GuestsInParty_LostFocus() Dim partymsg As Integer Dim dbs As dao.Database, rst As dao.Recordset Dim F As Form Dim intHowMany As Integer Dim intCounter As Integer
How can I prevent duplicate records from being added from a form, the dcount in the text field property, trigged before update is where this should be used is what I know but having trouble with the syntax.
I've got the table tblInvnetoryDetail with InvID(AutoNumber), and SerialNumber. The form text field is txtSerialNumber. I've managed this far with the expression
DCount([InvID],"tblinventoryDetail","[txtSerialNumber]=&"'") but this did not work.
I need to check the combination of a text box and a combo box that are bound to the same table for duplicates and then give a message box telling of the existing records. The 2 fields are set up as a compound index so access displays a generic message but I am trying to customize the message without doing it through error trapping (because I want it earlier in the processes on the form).
I am trying to us Dcount as follows but this is not working. It seems to be checking for either rather than a combination of the 2 fields because I get my message if either the Description OR the Group is duplicated (both of the text box and the combo box can have duplicates and it is only the combination that is singular) .
If DCount("[Description]", "[ItemTBL]", "[Description] = '" & Description & "'") And DCount("[Group]", "[ItemTBL]", "[Group] = '" & Group & "'") > 0 Then MsgBox "This Item is already in the database.", vbExclamation, "Already in Database"
Im a relative novice with access VBA, and I'm really struggling with using Dcount with date variable. All I want to do is count if a certain date appears in a table. Here is the extract from my code:
Whatever dates are in tblworkoutlogs, datecount is still = 0...I've trawled the net and tried many variations of the code but no success!if I change all the date formats to strings in the code and the tables, it works so I know i'm looking in the correct place.
Upgraded from Access 2003 to Access 2010. My DCount query was working fine in Access 2003 for many years but now I am having issues. Everything is written in VBA.
Routine: 1.) Insert records into table tblEmployee 2.) Query table tblEmployee to count how many employees are in each department using DCount.
Issue: DCount returns 0 for all Departments.
Findings: If I manually open table tblEmployee and edit an employees department (I actually named it the same department), DCount will then find 1 person in that department (the record I manually edited). It seems a manually edited record will be counted but anything written by the insert query is ignored.
In my database when an item is currently being loaned the item's loaned field will have a 1 to indicate this. When the item is returned the value is 0. Only so many items are available and when I use the DCount function it is counting the 0s as 1s.
I'm trying reference a dcount on two fields, one is a string and works fine, the other is on a date which does not.
I've investigated the problem and found a couple of references to making sure I use a # symbol to reference the date but I think the thing that's throwing the comparison out is that the date field stores time as well, even if you can't see it?
I thought should count the records in the healthcheck table that match the check_date field against the first_health field on the current form, but I keep getting a 0 count even though the dates seem to match.
My DCount statement is not finding a record that I know is there.
Code: Private Sub Transfer_WN_Books_Click() Dim ST As String ST = "H" If DCount("*", "Books", Author = " & Me!AuthorID & " And StatFlag = " & ST & ") > 0 Then DoCmd.Beep End If End Sub
I can't get the following DCOUNT working for the life of me: DCount("EmployeeName", "tblAttendance", "EmployeeName = '" & cboEmployee Name. Value & "'" And "AttendanceDate = #" & txtAttendanceDate.Value & "#")I have checked this forum along with Google and there seems to be no easy way to do this? I have tried editing the syntax over and over again. I have been able to run a query and get the desired result in that query; however I am unable to call that result in VBA.
I am trying to check if a record exists, but I keep getting a error!!!
Private Sub Command10_Click() If DCount("*", "tbl", "[ID] = "") <> 0 Then MsgBox "This record already exists. Else stDocName1 = "McrAddNewRecord" DoCmd.RunMacro stDocName1 End If End Sub
I am trying to put in a control measure which won't allow the user to accidentally add a client to areferral more than once. The simplified relationship structure reads:
I am as a far as using a dlookup which correctly gives the error message, but only if it is the first client added to the tblClientReferral table. If the hypothetical situation arises in which the user adds a client, then adds a second client to the referral and accidentally adds the second clientn twice, the Dlookup is not picking this up.
I suppose the solution is using a dlookup which has the criteria saying if the referralID = 'this' AND the clientID = 'this' Then 'do this'. But as far as I am aware you cannt use AND in the criteria?? atleast, it hasn't worked when I tried. A snippet of the vba code used is below:
Dim objClient As Object Set objClient = Forms![frmAddClient]![cboClientID]
If (DLookup("clientID", "tblClientReferral", _ "referralID = Forms![frmReferral]![referralID]")) = objClient Then MsgBox "Client already added" GoTo ExitSub Else
I am having an issue using DCount to validate against 3 fields within my database. I have a booking form which contains a Staff member, viewing slot, and Viewing Date which is used to book property viewings.
I want the form to check that the booking doesn't already exist when the process booking button is pressed.
I am using the following statement:
Code: If DCount("*", "Viewing", "[Staff_ID]=" & Me.[Staff_ID] & " AND [Viewing_Period] = " & Me.Viewing_Period & "' AND Viewing_Date = '" & Me.Viewing_Date) & "'" > 0 Then MsgBox "Cannot book, booking already exists", vbCritical End If
I always get the error "Syntax Error (Missing Operator)".
I'm having abit of a problem with the DCount function where date fields are involved.
Basically, I have a table - TblMain. Within that table there is a field -DateRegist. The data type of this field is set to Date / Time - Format short date.
Elsewhere I have set up a form with a text box. The idea being this text box will count the number of 'DateRegist' fields where a date has been entered between two set dates. (There will be four text boxes in total, one for each quarter of the year)
When I use Date() etc in the control their are no problems. However, when I try and use an actual date it all goes pear. I figure it has something to do with it being a date field bit not sure exactly what.
This is what I have so far (don't laugh, I know its miles off the mark but I am trying)
I know I can do four separate queries, each pulling off a quarters data and then draw off the Dcount from each of them but after two days of trying to figure it out I would like to know where I'm currently going wrong - (If you consider doing to four queries will be quicker for the abstraction of the data then let me know but I would still like to know what I'm doing wrong for future reference)
I am getting something wrong but I don't know what - date related.
Take this code for example:
Code: Dim varDate varDate = Date If DCount("RunningNumber", "AllocatedVehicles", "ServiceDate=" & varDate) > 0 Then MsgBox "Go Away", vbOKOnly Else Go on and do the real work End If End Sub
The DCount line is being completely ignored, no error message, it just cracks on as though there were no records found (but they are definitely there!) I have tried:
Code: Dim varDate varDate = Date If DCount("RunningNumber", "AllocatedVehicles", "ServiceDate='" & varDate & "'") > 0 Then MsgBox "Go Away", vbOKOnly
But that throws up a Type Mismatch (which is what I would expect). Then I tried
Code: Dim varDate varDate = Date If DCount("RunningNumber", "AllocatedVehicles", "ServiceDate=#" & varDate & "#") > 0 Then MsgBox "Go Away", vbOKOnly
And it gets ignored again.
I am having similar trouble trying to open another form using the same field as the open argument, and getting similar results, so it is clearly me that is wrong.
I created a query in Query Builder which contains a DCount with multiple parameters and it runs as it should. I am trying to convert it to VBA, but my inability to put in the quotations marks correctly is frustrating me terribly.
Here is the SQL version from Query Builder:
UPDATE [Daily Status Update Table] SET [Daily Status Update Table].NumberOfChases = DCount("[ChaseOtherID5]","[Chases_View_ALL - TX_Mbr 9 Digit]","[ChaseOtherID5] = 'U - Initial Contact' AND [ChaseStatus] = 'A'"), [Daily Status Update Table].ChaseStatus = "A", [Daily Status Update Table].NewStatus = "A", [Daily Status Update Table].ChaseAssignment2 = "Unscheduled" WHERE ((([Daily Status Update Table].ChaseOtherID5)="U - Initial Contact"));
The following code is giving me a "Run-Time error '13' Type mismatch. I have tried isolating both criteria and they seem to be fine but joined together with "AND" they error. Workdate is a Shortdate. Flightnumber and flightID are numbers. FlightID source is a cmb within my form.
Private Sub FlightID_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If DCount("[WorkDate]", "Main_tbl", "[WorkDate]= #" & Me.WorkDate & "#" And "[FlightNumber] =" & Me.FlightID.Column(0)) > 0 Then Do this.... End If
It is basically a DCount, and it should find records, but returns 0 all the time. My code is:
Code:
Function cntkit(sftd As Date, sftn As String, typid As Integer, specpaint As Boolean) As Integer 'Counts jobs kitted during shift given by sftd and sftn Dim timeformat As String timeformat = "#mm/dd/yyyy hh:nn:ss#" 'need this, to convert it to US datetime format cntkit = DCount("[JOB]", "Archive", "[Type] =" & typid & " And [Autfinish]=False And [SpecPaint] =" & specpaint & " And ([Kit] BETWEEN " & Format(sftstart(sftd, sftn), timeformat) & " AND " & Format(sftstart(sftd, sftn), timeformat) & ")") End Function
sftstart and sftend are functions which are returning dates. The funcion works fine if I omit the Between part of the criteria. So the problem is in that part.
I ahve declared custCount as an integer and id as a string that comes from the user form (id = me.CustID) and trying to count the number of matching records in the recordset (rst) using the following:
custCount = DCount("[customerId]", rst, "[customerId] like '" & id & "'")
I'm getting a type mismatch error on the DCount statement?
I have a main form called "frmMain" and on it I have a text control named "txtBoatStatus". The control source for txtBoatStatus is determined by code that I have in the Form_Current event. The code is as follows:
txtBoatStatus.Value = "There are " & BoatStatus & " boat orders that are complete."
(end code sample)
Now when I first open the frmMain everything works great and the control will say, "There are 5 boat orders that are complete." Perfect. However, In the instance if I open the form with my Boat Orders and mark off another order as complete (bringing my total to 6), the txtBoatStatus does not update when I reopen frmMain. It will only update and show, "There are 6 boat orders that are complete." if I manually hit SHIFT+F9.
How can I do this automatically? I've tried various things such adding "Me.Recalc" or "Me.Requery" to differnt events, controls, etc. but I still cant get it to show the updated number automatically. How can I get it to update without SHIFT+F9?
I have a question concerning the automatically sequential numbering of a primary key as part of a composite primary key.
Tbl_treatment: ID=numeric field (also in tbl_pt and in tbl_tumor) Tumornr=numeric field (also in tbl_tumor) Treatmentnr=numeric field
[ID] and [tumornr] are fixed and i would like to automatically number [treatmentnr] per [ID] AND [tumornr] in a way that the output will look like this:
However, when i use the SQL-formula below my output looks like this. It seems as if the function is not properly taking the composite primary key of [ID] AND [tumornr] into account or not finding the true max value:
