I'm trying to setup a process of opening a form, saving to a location, emailing it as a PDF, killing the PDF, move onto the next form - rinse wash repeat until done.The below works fine on a single click, however if I try to set it as an event timer of loop, I get an error saying: This action cannot be carried out whilst processing a form or report event.
Do
Dim outputFileName, Ref As String
Ref = Vici_URN
outputFileName = CurrentProject.Path & "Claim PackagesCICA" & Ref & " - " & Format(Date, "yyyyMMdd") & ".pdf"
I am trying to use SQL to run queries in our access database in order to (hopefully) speed things up. I'm trying to create code that basically takes data from one table and inserts it into another whilst doing calculations on the data.
However I can't get past this:
Code: Private Sub Test_Click() Dim strSQL As String
I have one table which holds the answers to a medical questionaire. 300 questions to be exact. This table has a Primary Key which is just an autonumber.
The problem I have, is that the questionaire results will be updated from time to time. Not the whole questionaire but maybe a couple of fields. Is there a way that the user can go back to the questionaire make the changes needed and then save, but at the same time still keep the original results in the table, but assign a new autonumber? The reason is that they do not want to fill out the whole questionaire again just to make a small change, but I need to keep all the results going back in history!!!!!
Sorry if I havent explained this perfectly. I have looked at the appen query and the update query but not sure if this would be correct procedure.
Thanks in advance. You dont have to tell me exactly how to do it but a hint in the right direction would be nice.:)
I have inserted a function via a module at the beginning of a Macro using the RunCode action:
Function Msgbox_Yes_No() Dim Response As Integer Response = MsgBox(prompt:="Select 'Yes' or 'No'.", Buttons:=vbYesNo) If Response <> vbYes Then End If End Function
However, it doesnt stop the macro from continuing on its way to delete a load of records if the user chooses no.
I have a form that opens when you initially open the MS Access file...
This first form posts session and user ID data to a sessions table, then closes itself and opens an end user form (i.e. the main form in the application)
It's work just fine for many weeks, up until a few minutes ago. Now, when I open the MS Access file I get this error message:
Run-time error '2501':
The OpenForm action was canceled.
When I choose "debug" from the error message, it's showing me that the error happens here:
Code: Public Sub CloseMeAndOpenMain(frmMe As Form) DoCmd.Close acForm, frmMe.Name DoCmd.OpenForm "0100_0000_STRAT_AND_REQ_ASSEMBLY_ECs_LISTING" End Sub
The thing is, I can then walk through the code with no issues (i.e. when I hit F8, it runs...)
Also when I open the first "sessions" form from inside MS Access (as opposed the file open feature) it runs just fine and opens the main end user file without any issue.
I only get the error when I initially open the first form from the file...
I've got a continuous form, with a button (cmd1) on each record. Each record has a unique primary key, RecordID. cmd1 is clicked to open a form (frm1) based on the RecordID using the following code:
I am using VBA in Access 2013 to make a PowerPoint presentation using data from the access database. know if it is possible to use Access VBA to create a button in the presentation that runs a procedure itself?
Hello,I'm designing a contract and payment processing database for a friends construction company. I've made an attempt at designing the data model, but wondered if anyone out there had ever come accross a similar scenario and could be of any help. I have attached a copy of my initial ERD.Entitys are as follows:CompanyHolds details of the company that are operating the system.CustomerBilling details for the customer.SiteA customer has many different sites at which work is undertaken.ContractA contract is created for all work undertaken at a customer site.PlotThe work a contract covers is carried out on various different plots at a customer site.StageWork is carried out in stages on a plot by plot basis. When a work stage is complete the stage can then be invoiced for payment.InvoiceOnce work stages are complete an invoice can be raised. An invoice can be for one or more stages (always under the same contract).Invoice_LineDetails of the different stages billed under a single invoice.PaymentStores detail of a customer payment.Payment_AllocationA single payment may be split accross multiple invoices. A single invoice may be paid through multiple payments.The main area I was hoping for help with is payment allocation, the requirements of which are listed below:1. When a payment is received it must be possible to split it accross multiple invoices (a payment will only ever be for invoices within a single contract).2. It must be possible for an invoice to be paid in part (i.e. be paid by mupltiple payments).3. If a payment isn't allocated in it's entirity, the the remainder should be put to a payment on account for allocation at a later date.4. An entire payment should be able to be put to a payment on account and then allocated later.5. It must be possible to enter credits against invoices.The reason I have Contract joined to Payment_Allocation is so that a payment on account can be created and linked back to the contract, for allocation at a later date. If a payment on account is stored as an entry in the payment_allocation table it will become difficult to then allocate the payment on account to invoices and keep an audit trail. The payment on account isn't really allocated until it is put against an invoice so I'm loathe to do it this way.On the other hand if I store the payment on account in the payment table (until allocated) it may make it harder for me to produce my statement report.I'm also having difficulty seeing how I can build a statement of account from these two tables...do I need to build up a transaction table in order to do this effectively? Or a temporary table of transations to base my report on?Any advise or pointers would be very helpful.Thanks in advance for your time.webbmatt
Hi I have some code in a function that I want to run BEFORE a form (FormB) is displayed to the user. FormB is called up by clicking on a button from another form (FormA), but when I display the ActiveForm . . . Dim MyFormPO As Form Set MyFormPO = Screen.ActiveForm MsgBox "here!!-" & MyFormPO.Name . . . I get the form name of FormA, and it errors-out because the objects I'm trying to reference do NOT exist in the Active form. I've tried calling the function from every Form event ("OnOpen", "onLoad", "OnActivate" etc,,) but ActiveForm always seems to be the first form. Anyone any ideas, please Thanks ajm
Hi all. I am considering developing a purchase order and warehouse management database, to be manage a cold store in my workplace.
What i have in mind is a system where the details of each pallet coming in is recorded (weight, quantity, location of pallet in warehouse etc.) is recorded, marked off against the corresponding purchase order number and then a label is printed with a barcode to quickly identify that pallet.
Handheld barcode scanners would be used to record when a pallet leaves the warhouse, and where its going to(despatch, production etc.). Ideally the scanners could be used to give forklift drivers order picking info aswell.
I'm fairly confident i can design the database, however, i have never done anything with barcodes, scanners or handheld devices. Is this even feasible with access? How do i go about doing it, any advice, example databases etc. greatly appreciated.
I'm working on a system for recording employee information, leave details, etc. I need to run a monthly update to increment each employees leave balance.
The two tables now in question are;
Employees - relevant fields are EmployeeID (key), Active (Boolean) and Leave (Numeric) [annual leave entitlement - eg 15 days]
The second table is LeaveTrans; Emprec, LDate, LType, PrevBal, ThisLeave, NewBal, Comments.
What I need to achieve;
For each "Active" record in the employee table, detirmine the monthly leave entitlement ("Leave" /12 - no problem here).
Append a new record to the LeaveTrans table with;
Emprec, LDate (Date of the update), LType (="Monthly allocation"), PrevBal (The NewBal from the last record in the table for this employee), ThisLeave (monthly allocation) and NewBal (PrevBal + ThisLeave)
I will need to access the last record for this employee to get the previous NewBal, before appending the new record.
The problem I'm having is appending to the LeaveTrans table, and then moving on to the next record in the Employee table, to repeat the process.
I've been pondering over a problem for a couple of weeks now - We receive around 1000 paper entries to our competition, and these all need manually entered into the access database in a one-er.
Is anyone aware of any ideas of how this could be made easier, and more automated?
I have a table (tblInstallations) which has records of date installed (for machines).
It is calculating that "next due maintenance" is one year after installation.
Sometimes we need to visit the site to maintain or service the machine before/after the specified date in "next due maintenance" and we need this to be calculated to reflect a year after date of visit.
I have a table called "tblMaintenance" which takes information about the machine an engineer is visiting from where originally the information are kept and that is in "tblInstallations".
How can I link the new date of the visit to update the record for "next due maintenance"...
I have an excel file that I need to prepare to create a report.It would be great if I could do this with Access 2003. This would mean that I need to import the excel file and create a table to handle this.Is there by any chance that I don't need to create a table and I can process the excel file? Or maybe automate the import of the excel file into table and only use a few of the columns so later I can create the report in access.Also what I need to do is add some columns with text in it (a standard text) that needs to add a day taken form the column to the right.
I simply would like to avoid to create a table from the import as this would make me end with a lot of tables (or mabye option to delete the table after finishing producing the report.
I'm working on a pretty serious report (at least for me)...I have 3 sub-reports inside, and the point of this is to use VBA and loop through several conditions (in the underlying queries), and print out in a batch for the user. When I add a page number footer it adds about 3 seconds to the processing time for a 14 page report. That doesn't sound like a whole lot, but when I loop through and process this 12 times, that's a lot of added time for the user...(the last thing I want to hear is it's slow!)
So, would it be faster if I set the page numbers in VBA? What event would I use? On Load?!? Also, how would I find the page number variables in VBA?
I'm working on a vacation/time off tracker and was hoping to use the collect data feature. I've created a form where a user submits their requested date and number of hours, at which point I'd like the form to be sent to their manager for approval. The manager's email address is stored in a table. Once the manager marks yes or no, I'd like that reflected in the time off requests table, and an email sent to the requester letting them know if it was approved or not. Is this possible? How would I go about it. I'm pretty new to Access, learning on the fly, but I'm pretty good at modifying code to match my situation/working backwards if you have any examples for me to look at.
For a graph i have the below code sql to define the chart results
SELECT [Load],[Displacement] FROM [try];
try is a text box containing a table name within the access DB. how do i change the FROM sql statement to look at the name in the text box and use it as to draw the graph?
options in the text box are for example
TABLE1 TABLE2 etc....
If i use SELECT [Load],[Displacement] FROM [TABLE1]; SELECT [Load],[Displacement] FROM [TABLE2];
all is well, i need to get it to look at the text box, well a combo box
