I'm having trouble executing a SQL command in VB... I want it to find the the value of the input box in TBL-Purchases and Delete all related values. Here's my code.... I get an error on the line I've highlighted in green...
Private Sub Command31_Click()
Dim Message, Title, Default, MyValue1, MyValue2
Title = "Sell Stocks"
Default = ""
MyValue1 = InputBox("Which stock ticker name would you like to sell?")
MyValue1 = UCase(MyValue1)
I'm using this stardard piece of code on a button that deletes a record from a simple continuous contact form.
Code: If MsgBox("Do You Want To Delete This Record?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Delete?") = vbYes Then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord End If
If the form is called "CONTACTS" with a field called "Contact_Name", what code do I use to have the relevant Contact_Name appear in the MsgBox to be sure that I'm deleting the correct record ...... something like this .....
Do You Want To Delete The Record Called Paul Quinn ?
We need to reset the autonumber after the last record is deleted.
For example: 2006 2007 2008
if 2008 gets deleted, we want the autonumber to reset back to 2008 rather than move to 2009.
Is this possible? This is the code we are using but cannot get the string to recognize the variable. If the variable is replaced with a number, it works, but it defeats the purpose of adding the plus 1 to the last autonumber.
Code: Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim RLMax As Integer Dim Statement As String RLMax = DMax("[id]", "Table1") RLMax = RLMax + 1
strSQL = "Alter table table1 Alter Column Id Autoincrement(RLMax,1)" DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL End Sub
I realize we don't want to depend on the autonumber for anything other than a row identifier, but the table is setup that it is important for the rows to be sequential if the last record is deleted. Only if the last record is deleted.
Been experimenting on some code to prevent deletion or changes to records that meet certain conditions.
The problem I am having is the code is contradicting each other preventing some of the records to be locked down.
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() 'Code 1 - Prevent edits if 21 day period has lapsed If TestDate2(Me.txtStartedHidden) > 0 Then MsgBox "Editing NOT allowed - 21 day time period has been reached" Me.txtBasic.Locked = True
[Code] ....
Rules are:
Edits allowed if invoice date not reached Edits allowed if within 21 day but NOT if invoice date is reached
Edits prevented if invoiced date reached and if records still within 21 days Edits prevented if invoiced date reached & records past 21 days
I'm trying to create a simple 1 field temp table to populate a combo box with the name of the current user and the word "Company." However, after the user closes the form (or as soon as the Temp table is no longer necessary) I would like to delete the table. I can create the table, the fields, add the data, and populate the combo box just fine, but I'm having problems deleting the table after I'm done. I keep getting the error:
Run-Time Error 3211: The database engine could not lock table 'Temp' because it is already in use by another person or process.
here's my code:
Code:Option Compare DatabaseDim dbRoofing As DAO.Database Private Sub Form_Close()dbRoofing.TableDefs.Delete "Temp" 'where i get caught when i close the formEnd Sub Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)Set dbRoofing = CurrentDb Dim tblTemp As TableDefDim rcdTemp As DAO.Recordset Set tblTemp = dbRoofing.CreateTableDef("Temp")tblTemp.Fields.Append tblTemp.CreateField("Owner", dbText)dbRoofing.TableDefs.Append tblTemp Set rcdTemp = dbRoofing.OpenRecordset("Temp", dbOpenDynaset)With rcdTemp.AddNew!Owner = CurrentUser.Update.AddNew!Owner = "Company".Update.CloseEnd WithOwner.RowSource = "SELECT Temp.Owner FROM Temp"End Sub
My 2nd post, and I am very new to DB and Access. I have a problem that I want to get help on. I want to set up a main form that is used to enter and delete all data for my table. I wish to add either a button or to make it automatically happen when a record is deleted, that it is first copied to a separate table with the same fields, except it also has a closed date that would be the date that the record was copied over. I know zilch about VB, VBA or any other language other than AutoIt, so assume I am what I am, an ignorant beginner.
I did look into the event somethihng like upondeletion or something... while trying to find help on this in the access and VBA parts of Office, but I do not know how to utilize the event with Basic or SQL, which I know none of either.
Any help or examples are very much appreciated.
**EDIT** I do not require all fields to be recorded to the secondary DB (History), so if someone can just give me an example of how I would move two fields to a separate DB, I can hopefully learn enough from it to do more.
Thanks a Bunch!
EXAMPLE** Current Loans (Table 1): CustomerID Name Address City State Phone
Customer History (Table 2): CustomerID Name Phone
That gives an example to help understand what I need. I want to store the CustomerID, Name and Phone values of the record being deleted, to the History Table, which I am using as a closed account table for later look up.
I have a table whose key is two fields. I am having no luck in selecting a given record from a form and deleting it. No problem in a table with a single field key.
We receive hundreds of items at the time capturing the item barcode and the userID. I want to improve the process capturing the UserID once and updated the table with this entry on all empty records on the table. I have created the following script but I doesn't work.
Private Sub Command7_Click() Dim strSQL As String Dim strUser As String
strUser = InputBox("Scan your badge") strSQL = "UPDATE " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & " SET " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & _ "." & UserID & "='" & strUser & "' WHERE ([" & tblGER_ReceivingLog & "]. & UserID & is null);" DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL End Sub
I am making a dp for end of day sales, and i want to compare data in a table to the numbers inputted in a form and see whether this value is higher or lower. the table displays the target sales figures for each day, and the form allows the area mangers to enter in the current day figures.
I have 2 tables. 1- customers table with 2 fields : customername,customerno 2-conversationstable with 4 fields: date,customername,customerno,details
The conversations table is for keeping memo of telephone conversations with the customers.
I built a simple form deriving from the conversations table. And added to it a combobox with 2 columns from customers table to select the customername an customerno for the form.
While deleting the record in the conversations table,through the form, I saw that the customername and customerno in the customers table of that particular customer record are deleted also. I made no links between both tables.
I am new to VBA and I'm trying to write a query that will update a table with dates based on user input. For example a user will run data each Monday and that date will be day01. The date table has 28 days total and I need each day row to update with the next date i.e. day01 is 12/30, day02 is 12/31, day03 is 1/01 etc..I am having issues just running the update the query. I get a too few parameters error message on the strsql statement. There are only two columns in the table, order_day(date column) and date_value(text). I want to update order_day. I also need creating a loop so it knows to go back and add days to the other values.
Here is what I have:
Code: Sub Update_Dates() Dim rs As Recordset Dim db As Database Dim lmsg As String Dim transactiondate As Date Dim strsql As String
I have an App that runs a few action queries using:
Code: CurrentDb.Execute "[My Query Name]"
At some point I get this Error: The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find the input table or query <name>. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly. (Error 3078).The query is there, I can run it from the DB objects window.Queries run using CurrentDb.Execute earlier in the code.
All I'm trying to do is a make table (table name to overwrite: "TBL_5_7_RFCs") query via VBA so I can loop through a set of VARs in a table. Here is my code:
Code:
Public Function test_sql() Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection Dim RS As New ADODB.Recordset Dim MySQL As String Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection RS.ActiveConnection = Conn
[code]...
I'll add the loop and array once I get this working but I'm stuck.
Can I add a delete button at the bottom of my form to allow me to delete a record or do i have to go to that table and delete it from there. if so how do i proceed with this.
I have a form with a sub-form and a sub-sub-form :p If I try to delete the record being viewed in the sub-form using With DoCmd .DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70 .DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70 End With
Then I here a ding (like you do when you try to delete a record) but I see no record delete confirmation box come up, if I hit enter, it deletes. So its there, but I can't see it, it's not behind the form either. Any ideas? Cheers
i have two tables table1,table2 each with one same field Country.
In my RunSQl query, i want to delete all records in table1 and table2 simultaneously from one button with a certain country. The problem is how can i do this from may be one RunSQL statement i tried to use two deletion runSQl commands, but only one is executed. Actually the one that comes second. If i put doevents in the middle of these statements, only the first is executed.
Here is my code:
Private Sub RemoveCtry_Click() docmd.setwarnings false Docmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM table1 WHERE (Country='" & USA & "')" Doevents Docmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM table2 WHERE (Country='" & USA & "')" docmd.setwarnings true End Sub
if I use One Statement:
Docmd.RunSQL "DELETE table1.Country,table2.Country FROM table1,table2 WHERE ((table1.Country='" & USA & "' ) AND (table2.Country=' " & USA & " '))" I get an error that i have to specify the table to delete from!!!!
I have developed a database in Access which has user permissions implemented. These are set so that only Full Data Users have permission to delete information.
However, it has come to my attention that users can get around this by creating a query and then deleting records displayed in its results. I can't understand why this is possible, because the permissions should prevent this.
I have two tables which are connected with one to many relation, here are these tables: tblCars PK. intCarID txtModelName intManufacturerID intModelPrice tblManufacturerPK. intManufacturerID txtName txtAdress txtTelephoneNow, how do I achieve that when I delete a Car from the database, the Manufacturer is not deleted, because as you know one Manufacturer can create several model of cars, but when I delete Manufacturer all the cars from that Manufacturer are deleted? I know I need to enable cascade Delete but when I do that in each case when I delete a record from one database its relational record from the other table is deleted. How do I acomplish this?
I have a database with several forms, tables, queries etc. and it works fine. One of the users of the database accidentally deleted a record which was displayed by a query. I have selected AllowDelections = No in all object properties. Despite this, the record got deleted. Is there a way to prevent such deletions? Kindly help.
i have a subform which won't allow me to delete a record unless i'm in the datasheet view. is there anyway to change this. the properties have been set to allow deletions.
The user wants all of the records in the database to have continuous numbering. I have used AutoNumber in the past but if you delete a record, it produces gaps in the numbering.
I was wondering if there is a way to number the records so they are always numbered continuously (1,2,3,etc.) even if some record is deleted.
I have tried using the following:
Set db = CurrentDb() Set recordlist = db.Openrecordset("SELECT Max(tblContactHistory.ItemID) AS MaxID FROM tblContactHistory")
ItemID = (recordlist!MaxID + 1)
recordlist.Close Set recordlist = Nothing
but I still cannot get the records to have continuous numbering after a record is deleted.
I want to create a custom sequence when deleting a record but I'm having a problem.
What I want to do is prompt the user for the reason he/she is deleting the record and then archive this so it can be viewed in a log at a later time. This extra step is not as easy as I thought it would be.
What I did was put some coding into the On Delete event of the form. The code opens a form with a text box. The user can enter the reason for the delete in the text box and click OK or click cancel to abort the deletion.
My problem here is opening another form from the On Delete event. As soon as the form is open, the code just passes to the next step of the sequence and deletes the record.
There are 2 approaches that I've thought of but I'm not happy with either.
Approach 1: In the On Delete event, set Cancel to True. That way the deletion is not handled by the delete sequence but rather by the new form that opens. The problem is that deleting a record from another form is not that simple. What I've tried is to execute a SQL statement that grabs the ID of the record from the open form and delete it. The problem is that although the record is deleted, all the fields on the form say #Deleted in them which is not that pretty. (Maybe there's some other way to do the deletion without this problem that I'm not aware of...?)
Approach 2: Use an Inputbox. Unlike a custom form, the Inputbox delays execution of the code so the code can determine from the results (i.e. should it cancel the delete if the user clicked Cancel). The problem with Inputboxes is that they are not very flexible in the layout, they look pretty "packaged" (i.e. they look to me like the programmer didn't bother creating a means to enter a value). There's no way to place the buttons where you want or have it do better validation (e.g. I want the FORM to check that there's at least a few words describing why the user is deleting the invoice rather than have the form with the record get the input message passed back and then give an error and then pop open the Inputbox again)
I think that especially when you're creating an application with anything financial, you'll want to log a deleted invoice including the date, amount, possibly the client's name, invoice number, reason for deletion and the login name of the person doing the deletion. All of these are easy to record other than the reason.
I created a form for project tracking. The form has a project name field in it that is a required field. The manager fills that out first, but may go back later to fill in additional data. I created a button to allow them to search for a project name, but they keep opening the form and typing in the project name they want to search for in the project name field of the first record that appears. This changes or deletes the project name for the record they typed in. Is there a way to prevent them from typing in that one field after a project name is initially entered?
I have a form and a subform. There are a number of buttons on the form, allowing me to add, update, delete, etc. records from the subform. The process is that I select a record on the subform, its details are displayed on the form, then clicking on <Delete>, for example, removes it.
Each of these processes work fine on their own and also if carried out one after the other, for the most part. The one problem I'm finding is when I delete a record.
Firstly, the subform appears to refresh and the record is no longer shown. However, if I then try to select another row from the subform, I get a message saying 'record is deleted'. I click on <OK> to remove this message and I can then select the same row or another row without any problems.
Secondly, if I now try to add a new record (the code behind the button is just 'DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec'), I get a message saying that I can't go to the selected record.
If I close and reopen the form between each activity, all works fine, suggesting that something isn't refreshing properly. I've tried putting 'Me.refresh' and 'Me.requery' immediately after running the deletion, but to no effect.
How I could do a multiple value InputBox in VBA, if this is even possible... This is so I can prompt the end user to enter a range (with two string values as start and end parameters) for a report I'm working on.
If this is possible, I would like to include this as an additional parameter option within the code I have below:
Code:
Private Sub EmployeesBadges_Click() Dim soa As Byte Dim emp, sEB As String soa = MsgBox("Do you wish to print a single employee badge or all?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) Select Case soa Case vbYes
