I am setting up a form to send multiple attachments to an email.I have a query "qry_DwgEmail" that has an ID and a path column. On the form I have a button with the code below in the Click Event.The code below all works fine unless the path is incorrect, so I would like some error handling to be able to either:
1) Stop the code from running and display a message box with my message.
2) Continue the loop and then have the message box display what files could not be found (Preferred).
Note, the following code was taken from one of the forums I am not 100% on what it all means.
Code:
Private Sub btn_CreateEmail_Click()
Dim MyDB As Database
Dim MyRS As Recordset
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Dim TheAttachment As String
I've got a problem with a loop for producing worksheets (reports). When everything works there's no problem but when one of the reports namely rptChemoOralWorksheet doesn't have data available to produce the report the loop finishes and then all remaining worksheets don't print.I've put in a standard error handler with MsgBox, but it's never triggered. I've also tried
Code: On Error Resume Next
but again rather than skip the DoCmd.OpenReport "rptChemoOralWorksheet" (when the error is present) and move to the next one to continue printing through the list the loop stops and the subsequent code starts to run.
Code: Dim mydatabase As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set mydatabase = CurrentDb Set rst = mydatabase.OpenRecordset("atblChemoWSLoop", dbOpenDynaset) Dim rsBN As String Dim rsDose As Double
I am studying error handling. I am using VBA Developers Hand Book and some Google stuff. I have been over the material several times and cannot find my mistake. When I click cmdFindState it give me "compile error" " label not defined",and stops at:
Code: "On Error GoTo Err_cmdFindState_Click"
Code: Private Sub cmdFindState_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdFindState_Click DoCmd.OpenForm "frmChurchesAll" DoCmd.ApplyFilter "qryFindState" '----------------------------------------- ' 51 Vermont '------------------------------------------ DoCmd.GoToControl "ComboState"
The problem is lately; while testing I am running multiple queries in a routine. When it fails; its hard to identify which query has the problem. So I hit control break; debug and try to find it. After I fix it; I debug and reset; i get this continuing hourglass thing in the form of a spinning circle until I close and reopen the database. I think I need better error handling but not something really complicated because I need to put it in quite a few routines throughout the database.
I have a table onto which i would like to add new column based on a set of if statements. (to assign weekly dates)this is only a portion of the code, but when I clicked on run, it gives me "external name not defined error".
Code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Sub AssignWeekly() 'declares weekly column as a new variable Dim Client_Weekly_1213 As Integer
I have a function that exports a number of tables within an access 2007 database to one spreadsheet using docmd.transferspreadsheet.
The error message in the title of this post presents itself during a loop which transfers the tables to the spreadsheet. However, it doesn't always happen, sometimes it completes the process perfectly which is quite frustrating.
Below is the section of code where the error occurs ....
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM tbl_Table_Exports WHERE Type = 'CRM'", dbOpenSnapshot) rs.MoveFirst Do Until rs.EOF TableName = rs.Fields("Table") WSName = rs.Fields("WSName") DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, TableName, NewWBPath, True, WSName rs.MoveNext Loop
VBA creating and have spent about 4 hours trying to figure out the error with my simple loop to update a few fields. As you can see from the attached picture, the "Recalc" sub simply stops updating partway through the loop.
I'm trying to change the table links to a password protected BE DB. I found an example online, which I adapted to my needs. When I set it up to fail to find the normal BE it seems to work as intended until it gets to the line "Tdf.RefreshLink". Then it crashes with a 3031 "Not a valid password" error. The code is:
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim Dbs As Database Dim Tdf As TableDef Dim Tdfs As TableDefs Dim NewPathname As String
[Code] ....
I can't find any references or example to relinking a password protected table.
I'm currently looking to change the ending of all filepaths of imported files whenever I run the import. I want to change the path ending from .txt to .doc. So basically, the link/path to the file should be got, the ending changed from .txt to .doc and then the path (with the .doc ending) put into the table.
Code: Private Sub bimportinternal_Click() On Error Resume Next strFolderPath = "S:Foo reportsSearchable" strFolderPathSave = "S:Foo reportsSearchableArchiveword" & objF1.Name Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strFolderPath) Set objFiles = objFolder.files
I have recently upsized an Access database to SQL Server. The .adp is for the most part working fine.
However, when an end user tries to create a duplicate record in one of the Primary key columns of a Form he gets a SQL Server error message as follows:
"Violation of Primary Key constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key in object myTable".
This is obviously not a very useful error message. What would be the best way to ensure that a more useful error message is returned?
I have considered adding code to the "After_Update" event of the cell in question. This however seems long winded. Is there an easier option?
The following code only half works. I want to stop an ugly error occuring when primary keys are duplicated. In the following code the error handler picks up and displays a simple message when a user attempts to add duplicate values. BUT if the users adds a record, the record is successfully added followed with the same error message. I think I've put the error handler in the wrong place, but I can't figure out where it should go. Any ideas are much appreciated.

Is it enough for error handling to code the on error property for each form? With enough I mean error handling which lets you resume the program.
Ontherwise I have to code (or call a procedure) for each coded event which i wouldn't prefer
For instance now I'm putting error handling in each event but would consider it more efficient if it can be placed once in each form Private Sub cmdReport_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdReport_Click
I currently have a macro that sets the value of several fields on a "lost focus " event; however there is an error that I would like access to ignore, is there any way to have this macro process this function "On Error Resume Next" ?
On a form i have a textbox to enter a date and multiple command buttons to open other forms. After entering a date value, followed by either a tab or clicking on one of the command buttons, i want to validate the entered date value. If the date is invalid i want to display an error message and the cursor positioned on the textbox field.
The LostFocus event of the textbox is as follows:
Private Sub txtDateField_LostFocus() If Not IsDate(txtDateField.Value) Then MsgBox "Date invalid." txtDateField.SetFocus End If End Sub
If entering an invalid date is followed by a tab, the error is displayed but the cursor is not positioned on the textbox field. If entering an invalid date is followed by clicking on one of the command buttons, the error is displayed but the expected form is opened. How to position the cursor appropriate and how to prevent opening the form?

How do you do an Access/VBE split screen? I want to be able to watch the code execute as I enter data into the form.
I have redesigned a database, essentially building a new one from scratch. I have all of the forms created and they are working beautifully. :) Now, I'm error-handling to create user-friendly messages. I have a superb Access programming book, but it only briefly mentions error handling and doesn't describe at all how to do it. Most of my forms are pretty simple, and I've been able to complete all of the error-handling tasks using the Form Error event as well as coding other events with the error message number. However, the main form is complex and includes a function in a standard code module and a custom sub routine.
I'm not usre how to handle the error when cancelling a report. so when I hit a control to bring up a report and say I cancel it before I put in any parameters for example I get the dialog box " runtime error" "OpenReport action was cancelled" etc.
Could anyone help me on how to handle this with VBA so that it's at least a more user friendly dialog box?
I'm trying to split out the first name from a GivenNames field which contains first and middle names. Some values in the GivenNames field have just a first name. I've tried the below formula, but still get some #Error responses where only a first name exists in the field.
My formula: Given Name: IIf(IsError(Left([GivenNames],InStr([GivenNames]," ")-1)),[GivenNames],Left([GivenNames],InStr([GivenNames]," ")-1))
My tables are sybase linked tables to my Access front end. I get this error whenever i click away from my mainform while my not-null fields (textboxes) have not been entered. So, i would like to put an error message "somewhere" that tells the user to fill in the necessary fields and highlight the necessary textboxes in red, instead of this scary ODBC message http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/6829/error0el.png :eek: :eek:
When i put my error handling in the afterUpdate or afterInsert Event. I still get the above error msg instead of my msgbox. Where do i put this message? or should be question be, "what the proper way to handle this intimidating error? :)
Here's my error handling:
On Error GoTo Err_Form_AfterInsert
'do something
Exit_Form_AfterInsert: Exit Sub
Err_Form_AfterInsert: MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Please enter the Project Name, Project Leader Initials, Main User and Status Code" & Err.Number Me!Combo67.BackColor = "red" Me!Combo65.BackColor = "red" Me![Project Name].BackColor = "red" Me![Project Leader Initials Combo].BackColor = "red" Resume Exit_Form_AfterInsert
I have a med-large db shared on network. Am under some pressure to split front/back so more people can do data entry, but want the forms to be semi-finished before putting them on everybody's c:drive.
The problem is error handling for required fields. Some fields are required in the underlying tables because if users don't fill them in, reports are useless. But Access error msg for required fields are too strange, users just close down, maybe wrecking the thing. Don't want to eliminate Close button yet in case they get stuck in Access hell.
I got one ( !! ) field locked in well using LostFocus event, but what do you do if users just mouse into fields at random? LostFocus won't work if it never had focus, right?
(Would much prefer to just use unbound form and give choice of "Field is required" and "OK" or "Cancel this record" but realize that's asking for a lot of help here.)
Any assistance you can offer would be MUCH appreciated!! Vba course isn't until July.
(I'm not sure if this belongs in the macro or query forum)
I have a macro that opens 15 queries and ends with opening a report.
The final query asks the user to type in beginning date, then an end date. Now when there's a data mismatch (i.e., he spells feburary), the macro halts. No harm no foul, they can just click the command button again, but I'd rather not.
What I'd like to do is place a msgbox (i.e., "Check Your Spelling") and then reroute them back to the query.
I'm sick of the lame excuse for error messages that Access gives out.. I'm talking about 'Overflow', 'invalid use of Null' and such like.
What about telling you what field/expression caused the error and on what record if applicable.
It's so frustrating - Access obviously knows what caused the error but refuses to tell you so you have to go through the annoying process of taking out fields one by one (when in query view).
Does anyone agree that they need to make the error handling in Access much better?
how to deal with errors specifically with error "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find a record in table".Database which I'm creating have table Products, which contains information about products. Most important information in this table is if product is VATable or not. I decided to define product names in invoice table that database can recognize products and calculate VAT in invoices if product is VATable. Problem starts if you have new product. When I add new product in invoice it counts VAT but when i go to next record I receive message mentioned above. It doesn't allows me to go to next record or save record.
I was wondering is it possible to make it that access allows to fill invoice, informs about new products only when i have finished adding all products in invoice and than gives opportunity to add them to product list?
I am getting this error message: "Unexpected Error from External Database Driver" when I try to import some .dbf files into Access. I just did some quick research, and it was suggested that I remove or rename the borland driver. Not sure how I feel about attempting that, plus, where do I get a new borland driver once the old is removed/renamed.
