Modules & VBA :: Call Value From A Text Box During SQL Execution
Dec 20, 2014
I have this segment of code that adds data to fields FName and FPath in the table Files. It works fine but the syntax is a nightmare with all the double quotes and symbols.
I have another field in the table Files called CompletedBy that shows who updated the table (they type their name into a textbox Text1 before clicking a command button to run the code). I would like to add this data to the table during the execution of strSQL. All the records added to the table Files will have that value in the CompletedBy field (say, Bob Jones).I tried the below changes but the code doesnt work.
I was wondering if you can call a textboxes onExit event from another form? On my form a user enters a search criteria into a text box and when they exit the textbox the results are displayed in a listbox. This form is a subform on my main form. I want to be able to call this onExit method from the main form. Is that possible? When I put in txtSearchBox_Exit, I got an error saying Sub or Function not defined.
I'm having to recode some old MS Access DBs so they will run in the following environments:
Office 2000 on WinXP Office 2003 on WinXP Office 2010 on WinXP Office 2000 on Win7 Office 2003 on Win7 Office 2010 on Win7
When I wrote my code for Office 2000 on WinXP things were simple because directory paths were the same across all computers and I could hard code pathing when using a shell command to launch other files.
My new approach is to make a function call to the Windows registry to determine the default executable and path for opening a file based upon its extension (see apicFindExecutable in basWindows API module).
I'm able to use code to create a shell call and debug print it to the immediate window. If I put my cursor in the immediate window at the end of the shell call and hit [enter] the external file will open as desired. If I try to open the external file directly through code, I get a file not found error.
To recreate the error take the following steps:
(1) browse to files that are accessible from your computer (2) click the PREPARE DATA AND OPEN MAIL MERGE DOCUMENTS command button
Shell function call is made by the fnOpenFile function located in the basOpenFile module. There has to be a trick here that I'm missing.
I'me running on Win7, Office 2010, Acc2003 format (.mdb), writing data to Excel 2010 (.xlsx)I have code to create an Excel file, send record set data to it, and then add some formulas and formatting. I was trying to tune up the formulas, when I got a pull back:Access VBA code suddenly stops running, and the file gets displayed in Excel
Code: 'ApXl is Application.Excel 'xlWSh is the Excel WorkSheet 'rst is my DAO.Recorset
I have a lost/found property database form (soft-copy), it works perfectly fine. We enter the details of the found property and then take the print (hard-copy) of the form. Whenever an owner comes to claim his/her item we search through our soft-copy for the specific item/record and then ask them to sign on the relevant hard-copy record after which we cross out the hard-copy and write with a permanent marker "Restored". Whereas in the soft-copy we type in the details that it has been claimed/restored in available text fields. However, is there anyway that I can display a big large banner saying "restored" in front of only that record(s) where item(s) has been restored to the owner. It doesn't have to be a text banner/label, it could also be a picture saying "Restored". I have manage to get a print message box set-up for this but it's too annoying. Every time we pull out an item's record that has been restored, that message box comes up and then we have to click OK to proceed. I can remove it but only if can find a replacement.
I am trying to use a textbox value to call vba code and can not get it to work.
I keep getting an error on the call str1 line.
Code:
Sub formscript() Dim str1 As String str1 = [Forms]![fscripts2]![t3] 'MsgBox str1 If str1 = "" Then str1 = "err1" Exit Sub Else Call str1 ' this is where it call the script based on value in textbox End If End Sub
I am facing a problem with ODBC call failed error latly.The problem doesnt occur on my development PC but only on other PC's.I'm a beginer in Access, vba and I cant find a solution to make it work on every machines.
Code:
Dim qSQL As String DATA = "#" & DatePart("m", DATA) & "/" & DatePart("d", DATA) & "/" & DatePart("yyyy", DATA) & "#" qSQL = "SELECT Sum([IL]*[TO])" & _ "FROM PUBLIC_S INNER JOIN PUBLIC_SD ON PUBLIC_S.U = PUBLIC_SD.U " & _ "WHERE (((PUBLIC_SD.DAT)=" & DAT & ") AND ((PUBLIC_SD.ANA)='" & ANA & "') AND ((PUBLIC_SD.IA)='" & ia & "') AND ((PUBLIC_SD.AN_C)='PIMSS')); Set Db = CurrentDb() Set rs1 = Db.OpenRecordset(qSQL)
I have 3 event procedure with 3 buttons to make them run.I would like to create another button that can run all procedures togehter. if I copy one of the procedures how do I tell it to run the other 2.
I spent all day trying to figure out why sometimes I can call an excel function from access and the value will appear on my form, but for some functions (F.inv, binom.inv), it errors out as "object not supported". I browsed all the available libraries in tools/reference but found nothing that seemed to solve this issue.
I am starting to explore VBA and Modules. I recently found a relativly simple way to add an Audit Log to a database without adding two tables for each table as outlined by Allen Browne.
I used a set of code from fontstuff.com and it works great, except when using a sub form. I belive that it is most likely because the use of the Tag property looks at the subform as a control but it holds no value. I am thinking the VBA needs to be altered or the BeforeUpdate command need to specify what form to look in.
The Before Update code is
Code:
Public Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Code: If Me.NewRecord Then Call AuditChanges("SubForm_ID", "NEW") Else Call AuditChanges("SubForm_ID", "EDIT") End If End Sub
AuditChanges is the Module Event name and CustomerID is the unique identifer for a Subform.
On the Windows 7 Developer desktop, the Windows Theme is set to Windows 7.On the Citrix server (for users) the Windows Theme appears to be Windows 95. It is low graphics.The boxes are square instead of rounded. The selected Form Tabs just barely highlight with a thin line while on Windows 7, the selected Tab completely changes color. A basic Message box in Windows 95 looks square and flat. The title bar is very low graphics as one would expect when graphics were not great. Is there a VBA call that can display the OS Theme that affects MS Access? URL...
I have a form with a button to print preview a report. This report needs one input parameter before executing. The computer this will run on is a touch screen and does not have a keyboard. Windows 7 has a "on screen keyboard" program. I want this to run first so that my user can input the parameter.
I have the following which throws an "Invalid procedure Call or Argument"
Sub CallTeclado() Dim RetVal RetVal = Shell("c:windowssystem32osk.exe", vbNormalNoFocus) End Sub
I need a search function that will not just open files based on their names but also drill into the documents and search based on what's in it. The only way I can see now is to use the Window's search function (the one at the start button). Is it possible to call that function into access?how do I re-create the search style of the windows search bar for a specific folder? Something like streamreader
I know its not possible. But Just wanted to confirm. Not at all possible?
Code:
Function PreImport(BookToImport As Workbook) For Each cell In BookToImport.Sheets(1).Rows(1).Cells cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value) Next cell BookToImport.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Rows(1).Replace ".", "_" End Function
I'm developing an application where I want to call the keyboard up on the screen when a user enters a field. This is my setup:
Windows 8.1 32 Bit, Access Runtime 2010. Exact lines of code are:
Dim RetVal RetVal = Shell("C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedinkTabTip.exe")
These lines of code work perfectly fine on my development PC which is running Windows 7 64 bit, Access/Office 32 bit.
I know the path to the exe is good. I can navigate and double click it and it works great. but the shell command is resulting in the invalid procedure.
I'm looking to use the shell function to dynamically call different pdfs that are in a directory. However I'm getting run time error 5 "Invalid procedure or call argument".
Here is the code (very basic I know)..
Private Sub Liste_Documentation_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Dim PathName As String PathName = Me.Liste_Documentation.Column(2) ' Debug.Print PathName Shell PathName End Sub
A typical filepath name is as follows..

i have created a new utility DB that has only one form..when it opens I set the startup form "Main" and on the OnOpen event of this form I have some code to open another database and close this one...
this means that whenever i open this database, it opens, opens up the other one and this utility DB closes...and i cannot access it coz it always opens and closes automatically...how can I stop it from executing to be able to edit its VB code?!
I am wondering if it is possible to execute a DTS package via Microsoft Access. I have done a bit of research and cannot seem to really find anything that claims this is possible or how to go about to get it to work. I am running SQL Server 2000 which has quite a few DTS packages ... it would be really neat if I could just create a small interface in Access whereby a form has a few buttons on it that can be clicked and the DTS packages can be executed on the server, this way folks won't need to log on to the server and run the DTS packages via SQL Server Enterprise Manager. What would REALLY be awesome would be if values can be passed between SQL and Access but I think if that is possible it would be quite an animal to achieve (I know it is possible via Visual Basic programming but not really worth all the work to create an independent program just to run a DTS package or pass a value). If anyone can provide me with any information or where to look I would appreciate it.
This is my problem. Almost all the time(90%), I open the main form of my application and a large part of the form is blank(white). If I open it from the Database window it often work well and all the form is visible.
When the bug occur, If I just switch from Access to another application like Internet Explorer and I come agian to Access then all the form is visible.
Is someone ever seen that kind of bug. What that can cause that problem. How can I solve it?
N.B. There is a lot of controls on my form and I guess that bug can be linked with it. Seems like Access is trying to open my form too rapidely.
I have a problem about running SQL statement in VBA code. I will appreciate a looot if you can help me solve the problem ASAP.
I tried to run the following statement in my VBA code to update a table in my database:
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE TBL_GRANTBASEDATA, TBL_QUARTER SET TBL_GRANTBASEDATA.Retire_QTR = TBL_QUARTER!QUARTER WHERE ((([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])<=[TBL_QUARTER]![End_Date] And ([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])>=[TBL_QUARTER]![Start_Date]));"
It turns out that the table will not be updated if I run the above SQL statement with my other VBA codes. (ACCESS doesn't give any error messages even though the database was not updated.) But if I run the SQL statement by itself rather than within the other codes, the database will be updated successfully. (When I set a breakpoint at the above SQL statement and run it manually within the other codes, the database are updated successfully too.)
Apparently, the SQL statement and the other codes don't have any syntax errors. I wonder why ACCESS doesn't execute the SQL statement when the SQL statement is put within the other VBA codes. Is it because the table it tried to manipulate was locked by the other codes?
The following are all the VBA codes including the SQL statement I'm talking about. When I run the following codes together, the database is not modified by the SQL statement (the last sentence). But if I run the last sentence and the other codes separately, the database was modified successfully.
Dim rstDataLoad As New ADODB.Recordset With rstDataLoad Set .ActiveConnection = cnnSHELL .CursorType = adOpenKeyset .LockType = adLockOptimistic .Source = "SELECT TBL_GRANTBASEDATA.* FROM TBL_GRANTBASEDATA;" .Open End With
'Calculate Retire_Date rstDataLoad.MoveFirst Do While Not rstDataLoad.EOF
Calculation omitted.
rstDataLoad.MoveNext Loop rstDataLoad.UpdateBatch rstDataLoad.Close Set rstDataLoad = Nothing
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE TBL_GRANTBASEDATA, TBL_QUARTER SET TBL_GRANTBASEDATA.Retire_QTR = TBL_QUARTER!QUARTER WHERE ((([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])<=[TBL_QUARTER]![End_Date] And ([TBL_GRANTBASEDATA]![Retire_Date])>=[TBL_QUARTER]![Start_Date]));"
I'm using hte Shell() function but this doesn't wait for the executable file to finish so I'm looking for a command line function that would wait until the executable file is finished executing...
I saw this function WaitFor but it is not supported in MS-Access? So, what do I do?
whenever I run/execute a query in Access it is modifying the first record on the table in which it is calling the data from.For example if the first record might contain the following:
Record A: John Doe, Oct, 2014, Account is Active
And lets say I am running a query to pulling records from Nov 2014.The Month and Year Fields in the above example for Record A gets modified to the query search parameters for Nov.Is there some of of record lock or controls that I need to adjust to prevent this from occurring?
