I have an issue with this case select below. The DelayStart is time so lets say I put in the debug window
?DatePart("h", #04:00pm#)
The result would be 16 which is correct BUT the issue is my second shift starts at 04:01pm and the result is still 16 untill 5pm. How do I fix this so I get the correct shifts? Im guesing use something other than DatePart but what?
Code:
Public Function getShiftForRecord(DelayStart As Variant)
On Error Resume Next
Select Case DatePart("h", DelayStart)
Case 6 To 16 'Daylight 6:00am - 4:00pm
My problem now is about evaluating the result of that query in order to calculate quarterly and annual performances. The query returns correctly:
1) NULL - when I don't have values in the given month 2) 0 - when one of the components of the performance formula is 0 3) value (positive or negative) which can include any positive or negative value
In order to calculate the quarterly values I need the performance of the last month in the quarter and the first month in the quarter. My monthly values are stored in columns so say for Quarter 1, I would need something like this:
Code: [mar]/[jan]-1
As you might have thought, the problems come when I have NULL or 0 values. Let me give you a couple of examples.
[jan] is NULL [feb] is a value [mar] is a value
Than my formula would have been
Code: [mar]/[feb]-1
Second case:
[jan] is 0 [feb] is 0 [mar] is 0
In this case I would like the formula return '-' because I want to be able to spot the case in which the quarterly performance is 0 because the initial values were 0 from the case in which the performance was actually 0 (i.e., say [jan] = 101 and [mar] = 101 then performance is 0 which is different from having [jan] and [mar] = 0 thus performance '-').You can combine the three states (NULL, 0, value) with the three months and find many combinations (I have found 27 relevant ones).
I initially thought to use SWITCH in SQL to evaluate the 27 combinations but I found out that SWITCH would evaluate non more than 15 conditions. So I guess the solution should be use a function in VBA which does what I was about to do with SWITCH in SQL.
I have built a test function which evaluates the numerator of my formula using only two cases (CASE 1: all variables have a value <>0, and CASE 2: the first month is null, the second is 0 and the third a value). Here the code:
Code: Function evaluate_s(Var1, Var2, Var3) As Double Select Case Var1 Case Is <> 0
[code]....
My main question here is what is wrong in the syntax of my function. Why is not correctly evaluating at least the two cases in my function? I always get 0 for all records.
I am trying to read the value of a control on an open form from a Public Function in a Module with no luck. I suspect the issue is syntax.
Code:
Public Function MyFunction(varFormName As String, varControlName As String) If Forms(varFormName).Controls(varControlName) = True Then ' = 0 even when control is -1 Else End If End Function
The variables pass through fine but the If statement equals zero regardless of the state of the form's control. I tried several variations to no avail.
If Forms(varFormName).Form.Controls(varContactControl ) = True Then If Forms(varFormName)!Form.Controls(varContactControl ) = True Then Etc.
I have built an access application that contains a set of buttons along the top of every form that serve as navigation.* These buttons each perform the same function on every form they are on. (menu opens the main menu, etc) I have database macros to assign each button the same function but I still have to go through each form and manually assign them. I was wondering if it was possible to define a public function that on db open will look for all buttons with a certain name and assign them the macro. (so all buttons called cmdmainmenu will have the OpenMainMenu macro assigned and so on).Before you go there, I have already tried the navigation form and set all forms as subforms.
Question for Documentation purpose: Should the Public Type be declared in its own module?
Or should it be declared in a standard module where non-public functions use it? It is not for a Form module use.
For a Rule Engine, a function is calling one record on 4 different SQL Views (as linked tables) that have the same field format.
For speed, the recordset should only be opened once. However, there are multiple values that must be returned to the result table multiple fields.
One way to return multiple values is an Array. That has over head too.
Another way is to create multiple public variables. Not my choice for documentation. Another is to create a string.
This is a pure code module with several non public functions / subs. What is the documentation preference? List a Public Type close to the function, or place it in the Global module?
Background: A function can only have one return value.
By creating a public Type, multiple values can be returned.
Code: Public Type Income Wages As Currency Dividends As Currency Other As Currency Total As Currency End Type
Use this structure as the return type for a function. In a real situation, the function would look up your database tables to get the values, but the return values would be assigned like this:
Code: Function GetIncome() As Income GetIncome.Wages = 950 GetIncome.Dividends = 570 GetIncome.Other = 52 GetIncome.Total = GetIncome.Wages + GetIncome.Dividends + GetIncome.Other End Function
To use the function, you could type into the Immediate Window:
GetIncome().Wages
(Note: the use of "Public" in the Type declaration gives it sufficient scope.)
Important Notice The way this function is called will work, but is wrong from the aspect it re-calls the recordset over and over.
I want this function to populate value from a any field selected from any table to any text box in any form ...... Lets say in a Database named TestDB we have a Table named tblTest , a Form named frmTest and in this form( frmTest ) we have one Bound Combo Box named cmbTest and one unbound TextBox named txtTest
We assume that the table tblTest has three fields : TestID , FName and LName .
We also assume that there are already some records in the Table tblTest .
If the function F() is already programmed it should take as arguments as it follows :
F(FormName as??? ,ControlName as ???, TableName as ???, FieldName as ???, ID_Field_Name_of_the_Table as ???, Combo_box_selected_ID as ???)
In result the function should (probably) DLookup (FieldName , TableName , ID_Field_Name_of_the_Table = Combo_box_selected_ID ) and then store the value in a variable ( probably Variant ???) , lets say called varSetValue.
The problem is IF this is the correct way to handle that issue , than what should i do next.... I really don't know how to pass a Control's name to a function from the Event module of the ComboBox -
I mean - how can I obtain the value so it is usable for the function .... What data type should be the function arguments so I can use them to set a value for a control in any form .
In example : If the Dlookup() is somehow successfull then I want to assign the varSetValue to the txtTest what should I do : FormName.ControlName.Value = varSetValue >??????
I have read a lot materials but couldn't find a good answer for that , and aswell what data type should be the arguments that the function accepts and how do I obtain Controls and Forms names so I could use them in the function as described above .
I have the following function that I found online. Unfortunately I can't remember where I got it since I've had it for a little while. Today, when I tried to actually put it to use it didn't work.
I'm calling it from a form as follows: CompactDB (tblHotword)
tblHotword is just a random table from the back end. My understanding of the function was that it would use that table to connect and get the file name of the back end.
Whenever I run it, Access pops up a window that says "Object required" and nothing else. It doesn't look like a standard error message popup. When I click 'OK', Access continues with the rest of the code as if nothing went wrong. The function doesn't run though.
Code: Public Function CompactDB(TableName As String) As Boolean On Error GoTo Err_CompactDB Dim stFileName DoCmd.Hourglass True stFileName = db.TableDefs(TableName).Connect
I have multiple reports that use similar IIF statements as the controlsource for four textboxes. Naturally, I don't want to have to update twelve controlsources if any of the calculations change, so I thought I'd make this a public function. However, I don't know how to pass along multiple textboxes as variables. Here's what I have so far:
Code: Option Compare Database Public Function txtColor(ByRef textbox As Control) Dim str1, str2, str3, str4 As String 'The IIf statement is simplified for this example. It's not important. str1 = "=IIf(IsNull([Inquiry start date]),'W',IIf([txtInquiry]<1 And IsNull([Inquiry end date]),'R'))"
[Code] ....
And this is in the report (where ??? is what I'm asking about)
Code: Private Sub Report_Load() Call txtColor(???) End Sub
I am using a public function to feed a variable string to a query. So far I have got:
Code: Public Function ClientStreetModule(firstLVar As Variant, streetVar As Variant, newFL As Variant) As String Dim cslStr1 As String, newStreet As String newStreet = Right(streetVar, Len(streetVar) - Len(newFL))
[code]....
However, I only need to use newStreet as the true part of iif, in which instance all are longer. At least I think this is the problem. I realise I might need to use NZ but am not sure how. Why it is evaluating and giving errors for all records and not just when the iif criteria is true as I want it to?
When I run the below code I am getting the error "End Select without Select Case" I figured it might be because I have the "End Select" before the "End With" however when I move the "End Select" after the "End With" I get the error "Loop Without Do".
Code: Private Sub cmd_Update_Conditional_Codes_Click() Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset
I have a table with only two fields and one record: BegDate and EndDate (beginning and end date of the reporting period respectively). I also made a function with variables that look up those values for use as a date parameter in a query.
Here is the code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Function getCurrentRepDates() As Date Dim dtBegDate As Date dtBegDate = DLookup("BegDate", "tblCurrentRepDates")
[Code] ....
I am getting a syntax error for the line marked red. How can I use "Between" function in VBA code? Access 2010
I want to know if it's possible to make a dynamic select case. In my form I have 3 separate combo boxes. What I want to happen is depending on what was selected in one the options in the other two change and if you select something in the second the option in the third narrows down again. The user can select these in any order. They can use one by itself or all three independently. In my code I can do this with many select statements, e.g
Select Case Me.combobox1.Value Case "choice1" Forms!CurrentForm!combobox2.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Forms!CurrentForm!combobox2.RowSource = "SELECT fieldname FROM tablename WHERE fieldname = '" & Me.combobox1.Value & "'" End Select
In the place I have "choice" is it possible to write something along the lines of,Me.combobox1.value = "SQL Code"..The idea that this code would still work if the user adds more data to the tables which these combobox choices come from.
I'm trying to update some field value depending two string field using a function with if and case, function below:
Code: Private Function checkDATI(tipotransazione As String, tipovendita As String) As String Dim r As String r = "" If tipotransazione = "VENDITA" Then Select Case tipovendita
[code]...
And then when I call this function in a command button event as:
I would like to select a case depending on the output of a function.
This function tests the syntax of the reporting month.
If the syntax is fine nothing should be done further in the main sub else it should return to the Input window for the reporting month.
Somehow it doesn't work out.
Code: Public Function RepMonthCheck(rep_date As String) as Boolean If Len(rep_date) <> 6 Or Left(rep_date, 2) > 12 Or Left(rep_date, 2) < 1 Then MsgBox ("Reporting rep_date is not in the correct format = mmyyyy") Return False ElseIf Right(rep_date, 4) > 9998 Then MsgBox ("No forecast available for year 9998")
I have a boolean array, foundState(3), whose 4 elements correspond to 4 variables describing conditions that will dictate what action is taken upon closing a form.
There are only 6 possible outcomes for the array, and they can be divided into just 4 cases:
Case {T,T,T,T}
Case {T,T,T,F} OR {T,T,F,F} OR {T,T,F,T}
Case {T,F,F,F}
Case {F,F,F,F}
What the proper syntax would be for this if I'm trying to create a "Select Case" statement for these 4 cases.
I am trying to add various values based on Select Case to the value of field. The problem I face is that each time when I get different Case in select statement, the value of the field rather changing adds the value on top.
Code: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate() Dim qflPrice As Variant Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlQry As String Dim instID As Integer
Details: I have a Profile form that tracks the expiration date for each client's various certifications. These dates are set up in the Short Date format in the table design of Access.
Problem: When a user accidentally presses an alphabetic key while updating an expiration date, an Access error message is triggered. This is confusing to my users as these messages are written in Access lingo. I would rather that nothing occurs at all. I wrote a case statement to disable each letter of the alphabet and applied it to the On Key Down Event for each expiration date control on my Profile form to solve this problem, but this must be applied to 28 separate controls. I would rather call a function that disables alphabetic keys for each date control in my form when called.
Questions: How do I transform my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a function that I can call for each expiration date control? I know that when writing a function certain variables have to be declared and/or initialized.
Also, will I need to create a function to re-enable alphabetic keys or is this unnecessary because the disable alpha keys function will only be called for specific controls, not the entire form?
What I Have Tried: I have tried copying and pasting my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a module to attempt to create a function, but it needs work.
Below I have included 2 types of code: (1) The original On Key Down code applied to each date control on my form (2) The same code written as an attempt at a function
Original Profile Form Code to Disable Alphabetic Keys in the On Key Down event for each date control
Private Sub txtCert1ExpDate_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Select Case KeyCode 'All message box text is for me to test the code, not for the user to see Case vbKeyA MsgBox ("you pressed the A key")
I'm new to VB and am learing slowly with all your great help in this forum.
I'm wondering if its possible to write a Public Function for vbCRLF. I have a field in multiple forms that are all named 'Note'. If I have the following code:
Public Function PubNoteLF() On Error GoTo PubNoteLF_Err
My!Note = My!Note & vbCrLf
PubNoteLF_Exit Exit Function
PubNoteLF_Err MsgBox Error$ Resume PubNoteLF_Exit
End Function
When I run the code I get Compile Error: 'Sub or function not defined.'
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Its problably something real basic, but I'm stumped. Thanks.
I haev a report with 15 sub reports. I have to use Visual Basic to format the sub reports. I know how to do the formatting (see below) but what I would like to do is have one function (Public) that I can pass the subReport name to and have the formatting happen. This would be mush easier to maintain than copying the code below into on_print events of all 15 sub reports.
Has anyone done this and have an example??
Thanks

I have a query that I'm working on through Access 2010's design view. I'd like to add a criteria to the query where it only shows results with the employee name column matching a global variable I created that stores the name of the currently logged in employee.
Here's my vba code that declares the global variable and the public function i'm trying to pass as criteria in the query:
Global gbl_loginName As String Public Function returnName() As String If IsNull(gbl_loginName) Then returnName = "test" ' dummy account created for development only Else returnName = gbl_loginName End If End Function
and here's the SQL code from Access's design view:
SELECT [Entry of Hours].WC, [Entry of Hours].[Employee Name], [Entry of Hours].[Set Up Time], [Entry of Hours].[Run time], [Entry of Hours].[Traveler Number], [Entry of Hours].[Entry Date], [Entry of Hours].[Quantity Finished], [Entry of Hours].Notes, [Entry of Hours].WPS,
[Code] ....
when I try running the query, however, I get this error:
'returnName' is not a recognized built-in function name
Is there a problem with using public functions in Access' design view?
I'm trying to get a public function to work within the design view of a query. The function is defined as:
Public Function Percentile_(fldName As String, _ tblName As String, p As Double, _ Optional strWHERE As String = "") _ As Double... ( I can put the whole code if u need it)
Any thoughts about how I can make the Percentile function calculate values according to a GroupBy statement and not for whole data set?
I have used Allen Browne's code (see http://allenbrowne.com/ser-16.html, bottom of page) as a model for my user-defined type and public function in an events management database.
Using the function in forms/VBA works fine.
But my DB crashes whenever I try to use it in a query.

This works fine. ===== In a query I have this SQL code: SELECT tblEvUnits.EvId, tblEvUnits.EvUnitID, getevcheks([evid],[evunitid]) AS EventDetails FROM tblEvUnits;
This causes the db to crash.
I cannot get the "back-end" definition of the function into the query, as Access rejects it because of the dot, i.e. ".EvCheksAll".
I suspect there is some formatting quirk for using a public function that includes a user-defined type, in a query.
I created a Public Function called fNetWorkDays in my access database, however, when I try to use it in an expression I get "Undefined function 'fNetWorkDays' in expression". The Public Function is in a standard Module in my vba project. Why I cannot call it in my queries?
I have created a Public Function that would get a new Production Instructions number based off the [PI Number] of Tbl_Production_Instruction table.
I have a form that people will put in all information but the PI Number, then when ready they will click a button to update the PI Number. I place an unbound txtbox that will be hidden, with the control source to =NewPINum(), but when I tested the see if the unbound txtbox was populated with the new PI Number it was blank.can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Code: Public Function NewPINum() As String Dim vNum As String Dim strYYMM As String Dim getnextPI As String strYYMM = Format(Date, "yy") & "-" & Format(Date, "mm") & "-" If strYYMM = Left(DMax("[PI Number]", "Tbl_Production_Instruction"), 6) Then vNum = Right(DMax("[PI Number]", "Tbl_Production_Instruction"), 3) vNum = vNum + 1 getnextPI = Format(Date, "yy") & "-" & Format(Date, "mm") & "-" & Format(vNum, "000")Else vNum = "001" getnextPI = Format(Date, "yy") & "-" & Format(Date, "mm") & "-" & Format(vNum, "000") End If End Function
