Modules & VBA :: External Name Not Defined
Jul 22, 2015
I use the following code behind the BeforeUpdate event of a control, to validate input.
Code:
Private Sub StockPrice_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'strings used for the MsgBox
Dim strTitle As String
Dim strMsg1 As String
Dim strMsg2 As String
Dim strMsg3 As String
[Code] ....
There are two different forms that use that control and this code behind the BeforeUpdate event.
It works on one but not on the other, allowing to input anything in the control with checking and without bringing up any msgbox.
Searching what's the problem in the immediate window, brings up a message saying "External Name not defined'.

I copied some VBA from one database to another. I didn't change anything and I am able to run it fine in the first database. But in the DB I pasted it to, I am received a Compile Error message with the XlApp As Excel.Application area highlighted.
Function OpenAutoCount()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook

I have a line of code in an old program:
Dim CN as ADODB Connection
This is giving me the error 'User defined type not defined'. I know I have to set something in a list somewhere but have forgotten how to do that. Where to go, and what to set?

Hi,
On Compiling my assecc database VB code I get the following error message "User defined type not defined". I understand it is beecause I have not declared the Variable Type, but have no idea to exactly which part of the code the error is referring to.
How do I find out WHICH User defined type is not defined, especially when I have not got any (or do not want to use any) user defined types?
Thank you in advanced programming wizards. Kind regards, Adam.

Hello,
I have the following code and i don`t know what's wrong
Private Sub cmdCautare_Click()
Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String, strWhere As String
'Dim dbNm As Database
'Dim qryDef As QueryDef
'Set dbNm = CurrentDb()
strSQL = "SELECT DOSARE.DosarID,DOSARE.DenumireDosar,DOSARE.CodDosa r,DOSARE.DataDosar,DOSARE.Denumire,DOSARE.Data,DOS ARE.Stadiu FROM DOSARE"
strWhere = "WHERE"
strOrder = "ORDER BY DOSARE.DosarID "
If Not IsNull(Me.txtDenumire) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "(DOSARE.DenumireDosar) Like '*" & Me.txtDenumire & "*' AND" ' "
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.cmbStadiu) Then
strWhere = strWhere & " (DOSARE.Stadiu) Like '*" & Me.cmbStadiu & "*'"
End If
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmPrincipal"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRezultateCautare", acNormal
Forms!frmRezultateCautare.RowSource = strSQL & " " & strWhere & "" & strOrder
End Sub
Here: Forms!frmRezultateCautare.RowSource = strSQL & " " & strWhere & "" & strOrder
The error is the following "Application-defined or object-defined error"
Thanks!

When I try to compile the code below I get the error message 'Sub or Function not defined'. I'm using Access 2007.
Code:
For x = 0 To 20
If Nz(rec1(x), "") <> Nz(rec2(x), "") Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblResults ([Version], CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME, CUST_LONG_NAME,
[Code] ....
What I'm trying to do is compare two recorsdsets and if it finds a difference, record the result line from both recordsets in a new table. This worked fine until I tried to go beyond more than 21 records from recordset 2 to publish to the Results table.
The problem arises in the 2nd INSERT INTO... statement. I get the error and it highlights the rec2(20) value. I can enter anything after it (it doesn't have to be a recordset value) but the error still occurs and it wont compile. If I close the statement at Rec2(20) it works fine.

Code:
"On Error GoTo Err_cmdFindState_Click"
Code:
Private Sub cmdFindState_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFindState_Click
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmChurchesAll"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter "qryFindState"
'-----------------------------------------

I just realized that I do not know where my ShellAndWait module is obtaining the constant definitions for the WindowStyle arg. They are all defined presently:
Code:
? vbHide
0
? vbNormalFocus
1
? vbMinimizedFocus
2
? vbMaximizedFocus
3
? vbNormalNoFocus
4
? vbMinimizedNoFocus
6
However, I would sort of like to know where the constants are actually defined that support my ShellAndWait VBA Module. I do not like relying on "osmosis"!

I am trying to send emails using CDO to an array of recipients loaded from a query. I have made this work using Lotus Notes so i know the first part of my code is correct, and the current code I have works when I input an actual email address. But when I try to add the Array name into the 'To' field I get a data mismatch error.

I have quite a few user defined / custom functions which I would like to be available in any new database that I create without have to copy the VBA codes in a module each time. Basically, some sort of add-in that loads on MS Access startup may be (but I am not too sure - never created one). So something that will start with the MS Access Application and not just a particular database. I know excel addins can be copied to the XLStartup folder to achieve something like this in excel, but not sure about Access.

I am asking my users to interact with the Get External Data dialog, and I'm trying to restrict what they can do.
Code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdImportAttachText
I really like the mapping feature Access uses so I want to use that part of the Wizard, but I don't want my users to import data to the wrong table.Can I skip the first page of the 'Get External Data' Dialog series? Invoke the 'Import Text Wizard' without the previous dialog?see: AWF2. I can get the file path from a File Picker dialog.
Can I set the combobox to a default selection?

I have used the following script to export a subform to excel but it isn't working for a report.
The report name is spelled correctly etc... but the error message keeps saying error 2465 or if I enable the error handler it says application defined or object defined error.
I don't want to have to export the data to a table first, but if I have to then I guess I will have to.
Code:
Sub fFunctionNameExportExcel(ctrl As IRibbonControl)
'print to excel
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Const xlCenter As Long = -4108
[Code] ....

I would like to export a table as a text file to a user defined location.
I have it mostly working, but not exactly as I would like. I'm stuck on the user defined location.
I have a Form that contains a subform and two command buttons.
The subform contains the table I want to export as a text file.
The text file has to be comma delimited, no qualifiers.
I have the transfertext command in VBA that works perfectly:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "My Specification Name", "MyTableToExport", StrDirTemp & "input_" & StrPName & "NameCode" & StrDIAUnFormatted & "d" & ".txt", False
What I'm stuck on is the filepath. The file path changes everytime. So I would like to have either the open dialog box (I've tried many different versions that I found on the web.) or to search by the account name for the folder and place the text file in there.
Here is one that is closely working how I want it to:
This is a function that I found, that opens a dialog box for the user to select the folder location. It works, but I can't seem to get it to work properly.
It prompts, the location, then once you select it and press ok. It will add the folder name to the full file name, and place the file in the default root path. Not the selected folder path.
So in the end it will look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderName_MyTextFileName.txt
I'm somehow stuck on getting to seperate the file path from the file name, so you it look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderNameMyTextFileName.txt
Code:
Dim MSg As String
Dim SelectedDir As String
Dim SelectedDirFinal As String
Dim SelectedDirName As String
Dim StrFolder As String
[Code] ....
I think it should be something very easy, that I just need a pair of fresh eyes to look.
I've tried the Fileobject, FileFolder method, but can't get the quite work properly.
I've also tried wildcard methods as well:
StrDirTemp = Dir(StrFolder & StrPName & "*", , vbNormal)
But keep throwing up blanks.

I was wondering if it was possible to link random external tables to the Active Database through VBA. I would like to run the code that would open up a dialog box that would let the user select the database as well as the tables within that database that the user can select to link to. I am able to select the database and but not able to select the actual tables. The tables will be random so I can't make a constant statement for a specific database.

Code:
Function getFileName(path) As String

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
[code]....

I have an Excel file with a name range "DBIAS" which identifies all database data.
Then I have an Access file with a form to import that database (better, that named range) into an Access table. While importing, I have to filter some records or grouping by some field.
I cannot run correctly a VBA code to get data (filtered and/or grouped) from that name range and save those records to an existing or a brand new table.
I could get those data as DAO.recordset and printed out with "Debug.print" on immediate window, but I cannot complete the final step: writing those records to a table.

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

I 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

I'm currently using the following VBA to export all tables within my DB to Excel on separate tabs:
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database
Dim out_file As String
out_file = CurrentProject.Path & "" & "Backup.xls"
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Left(td.Name, 4) = "MSys" Then
'We do not need MSys tables in excel file
Else
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "") 'We do not need dbo prefix in sheetnames
End If
Next
But upon exporting I get the following error:
"Run-time error 3274' External table is not in expected format"
It then hightlights the following line:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "")
If i navigate to the directory i can see that it has exported it to excel(attempted), but half of the tables(tabs) are missing.
