Modules & VBA :: Checking Whether Records Are Locked Or Not
Jan 30, 2014I have a code which cut the data from tables and insert to others. The problem is I don't know when I can do this process (when I will cut data and the same time some users lock editing records then I will get an an error). So my question is, there is some procedure which can check that some records in table are locked or not?

May 10, 2005Hi,
I have a form in a database for our products (doors). I have a button that duplicates one of these records (all new products are based on standard template records).
When this record is created a new product number is produced by the system which was the number of the original (template) record plus the customer enquiry number.
I want to be able to warn the user if they are trying to save this newly created record with a product number that already exists so that they can alter the number to be unique. It will also warn them if they re-number an existing record to another already existing product number. Since the field is defined as unique, at present the system says absolutely nothing and just doesn't save the newly created record which seems is a touch annoying!
I have tried several things with dlookup, dcount arguments but can't seem to get anything to work.
Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

Checking For Duplicate Numbers
Jan 31, 2006I have a form in which new equipment is added. I want to be able to check when the ID number is added (first field on the form) that there is not a duplicate ID number. If I wait till the end of the form and save, then Access tells me that there is a duplicate present but by then I have spent time putting in all the rest of the data.
If have added this code in the before update section for the relevent field, but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone please help clarify or suggest an easier way
Dim IntIDCheck as integer
Dim Response
IntIDCheck = DCount("[EquipmentID]","Equipment Inventory","[EquipmentID] =" & Me.EquipmentID)
if IntIDCheck > 0 then
Response = MsgBox ("Duplicate Present")
Me.EquipmentID.SetFocus
Cancel = True
Exit Sub
End if
Thanks
Help Checking For Duplicate Entries
Dec 28, 2006Hello,
I'm new to using VBA for MS Access. May I enlist your help, Please.
I'm working on a human resources database for a group of employees. I'm trying to automate their login process after they have opened the database so that each employee's privacy is respected. Using an initial form, employees are separated into "New User" or "Returning User". My problem concerns setting up the "New User" in the database.
The New User is directed to form "frm_NU". The form has several unbound fields which are later carried to the table "tbl_Employees". Two of the fields on the form are used to create the EmployeeID. Those are Initials [INI] and Phone Extension [EXT]. The EmployeeID will be used in a filter so that only that employee's information is made available to the user (simulated Privacy).
Because the employees are unfamiliar with MS Access and its cryptic error messages, I need to create a message box which will give a plain English warning when a user attempts to use an existing ID to create a new record. [EmployeeID] is a field in the table. it is set as a key and does not allow duplicates.
When a new user enters his/her initials and phone extension I want the new ID to be compared to the table and if found, a message should appear. This is a preemptive strike to prevent the user from getting to the more cryptic MS Access error message.
I've tried using Dlookup and Dcount to try to pass some meaningful data to the If statement variable VarX to trigger the message box; assuming that Varx should be something other than Null or Empty
Dim EmpID As Variant
Dim VarX As Variant
EmpID = [INI] & [EXT]
VarX = DLookup([EmployeeID], "qry_Employees", [EmployeeID] = [EmpID])
If VarX <Is Not Empty> Then
X = MsgBox("Another record already exists by that name", vbOKOnly)
Else
Y = MsgBox("Passed", vbOKOnly)
End If
I keep getting an error at the DLookup formula or DCount formula saying: Run-time error; 2001 You canceled the previous operation. It also appears that the DLookup never looks up anything nor does DCount count anything even though I'm purposely entering duplicate information which exists in "qry_Employees". I was expecting VarX to be either the duplicate ID or a record number or record count or something.
Any ideas or constructive suggestions?
Thanks,
Goh
Forms :: Checking For A Filtered Duplicate Value On A Form Before Closing
Apr 11, 2014Below is some code that I'm struggling with and I get an error message "Type Mismatch".
Description: The database contains multiple projects and the subset of each project is a release. The "PublishedNumber" can't be a duplicate within a release, but it can be a duplicate within the table where the data is stored. There can however be multiple occurrences of 0.
Here's my code:
Dim stLinkCriteriaRelease As String
Dim stLinkPublishedNumber As String
Dim DuplicateNumber As Variant
stLinkCriteriaRelease = "[AssociatedRelease]=" & [AssociatedRelease]
stLinkPublishedNumber = "[PublishedNumber]=" & [PublishedNumber]

Modules & VBA :: Preventing Probable Duplicate Records
Jun 21, 2013I have a table called tblCompanies in which I have a field called CompanyName that is indexed set to "no duplicates". However, I want access to be able to pick out probable duplicates instead of only exact duplicates.
So, for example, if "Butter Fingers" is entered and "Butterfingers" is already in the database, I want access to prevent the new record from being created.
The code I found on MS Developer's reference only prevents exact duplicates which seems pointless since this can be done just as effectively on the table level using an index.
Anyway, here is the code:
Private Sub CompanyName_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If (Not IsNull(DLookup("[CompanyName]", _
"tblCompanies", "[CompanyName] ='" _
& Me!CompanyName & "'"))) Then
MsgBox "Company has already been entered in the database."
Cancel = True
Me!CompanyName.Undo
End If
End Sub
Can it somehow be modified to do what I want it to do?

Apr 14, 2014I have a table it contains a list of opening and closing values along with a date and a couple control fields. What I would like to do is duplicate a few fields from records that meet a criteria onto the same table. After that is done there will be a few updates on the new records. Looking at it, it would be: 'duplicate' where field2 <> 0 and field5 = No and field6 = Yes. All other fields on the newly created records would be their default values.

Nov 20, 2013I am working with a sub-form where once a staff member enters there sub measure I would want to create a duplicate of that record. The problem I am having is that once you enter the sub-form and click the duplicate button it creates a duplicate of the record selected but overwrites the first record in the table. I want it to create a new SubMeasure Number which is the primary key and assigns the record the next available number.
Also if I try to add another record after one has been added I get runtime error "3021" - No current record. I would have to close the form and reopen for it to be able to add again.
I have attached the code below:

'Return Database variable pointing to current database

Modules & VBA :: Create Duplicate Records With Incrementing Dates
Jun 27, 2014I have almost no experience of VBA outside of working a little with codes generated for me like docmd etc.
I am trying to create a database for resourcing staff.
I have a form where the user inputs a start date and an end date which updates a table.
I have a query that works out the number of working days between those dates.
I have a table with all the working dates between now and 2016
I want to put a duplicate record button on the form (I can do that bit)
The tricky part is I want it to create a new record for each date in the dates table between the start and end dates.
Example 23/06/2014-18/07/2014 = 20 working days. I want to end up with 20 records with start dates as below and the same end date.
23/06/2014, 24/06/2014,25/06/2014,26/06/2014,27/06/2014,30/06/2014,01/07/2014,02/07/2014,03/07/2014,04/06/2014,07/07/2014 etc up to 18/07
Modules & VBA :: Prevent Duplicate Records To External CSV File From Form
Nov 24, 2014I have some code which creates a record in an external csv file to provide information to upload a vehicle to the website. It works fine with the exception of creating duplicates when, for example an option to amend a record is given to the user before continuing to a new record. The option has to be in place in case there is an error in the specifics of what is important to be recorded in the database and under such circumstances the form code allows the user to tab through the form and correct any errors, but this creates duplicate entries in the csv file as the user has to pass through the 'SavePrintVehPurch_Exit' button a second time after corrections are made.
I am wondering if there is a way of altering the following code to effectively look look to see if the csv record exists and if so correct any changed field information rather than create a whole new record or create a new record where the record does not exist - The record in the csv file is determined by the 'Me.VP_VehRegMark.Value '.
Private Sub SavePrintVehPurch_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim fileText As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim fileNumber As String
fileNumber = FreeFile
[Code] ....
I am wondering about introducing the something like the following ( but can't work out how to clarify comparison of the fields)
If Len(filename(fileText)) = ? Then
Do not change entry
Else
Overwrite the new detail
Modules & VBA :: Create X Number Of Duplicate Records According To A Field On Subform
Jun 13, 2013I 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

Modules & VBA :: Checking Whether Checkboxes Have Been Checked?
Dec 17, 2013I'm trying to write some simple code to see whether two check boxes (named cbM001 and cbM011) have been checked and if so, then send out an error message. So far I have tried:
If cbM001 Is False And cbM011 Is True Then

With this I get "Run-time error 424: object require"
Modules & VBA :: Checking Fields In Multiple Tabs?
Aug 16, 2013I have a form with mandatory fields highlighted a different colour (yellow or blue). On the form are 3 tab pages with subforms which also have these fields.
I have added a checkbox named incomplete to each tab page and to the form. My intention is to try to write some code to look at each field on the page and if the non-white (ie mandatory) fields all have a value, then the incomplete on that page is changed to no. The code then checks the incomplete value for all 3 pages - if these are all no and the form's mandatory fields are also filled in, then this also becomes no.
When creating reports, I can then find out which records have not been completed and notify the relevant staff. Also if the data is incomplete, they don't want those records appearing in reports - so I can use the incomplete value from the form.

Modules & VBA :: Checking For Key Presses In On Click Event
Jul 25, 2014I have a button on a form and I want the On Click event behind it to check whether Shift is also being pressed when the user clicks the button (or Ctrl, or Alt, in fact any damn key will do).
I can't believe that there isn't a function in VBA like the old 1980s BASIC 'inkey' function (etc) that just simply returns the code of any key being held down at the time of the scan. I shouldn't have to mess around programming other events like KeyDown and KeyUp when I don't particularly need the key-press to trigger an event per se.
Modules & VBA :: Spell Checking A Text Box On A Form
Jul 1, 2015I'm trying to get a spell check to work on a text box on a form. i've got it popping the spell check window after the box has been updated but i'd prefer it to just highlight the errors in red, rather than pop the spell check box. another problem i'm having is when it's finished spell checking the box it moves the form back to the first record. this is the code i'm using.
Code:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
DoCmd.SetWarnings True

Modules & VBA :: Checking Multiple Subform For Values Before Closing
Jan 29, 2014I am looking to check 3 sub forms for values and if they contain any then delete them. After a bit of googling I discovered that you should use recordset.recordcount - to which I tried but I get method or data not found - is this a valid method?

Modules & VBA :: Checking Multiple Criteria Search Code Is Correct?
Feb 25, 2015Staff are monitored to make sure they are keeping up to date with our customers. A customer can have multiple projects going through the factory at any one time. Each customer has a record per project and a 'general' record. Ideally we would like our staff to be able to move the 'general' record when they update a project record as opposed to either having to find and then update the general record after, or forgetting and calling the customer again 2 days later!
Including a msgbox for the EnqNum seems to show the general record correctly, however being new to access I am unsure if I have the update part correct.
Code:
If Me.chkMoveGen.Value = "-1" Then
Dim EnqNum As Integer
EnqNum = DLookup("[e_id]", "tblEnquiries", "[c_id]=" & Me.txtc_id & " and [e_status] = " & "13")
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE tblEnquiries " & _
" SET e_date_due=#" & Format(Me.txte_date_due, "MM/DD/YYYY") & "#" & _
" WHERE e_id= EnqNum"
