Is there a way to run code to see if a query is open? Then if the query is open, program the database to close it and re-run it?
I have a query that is based on a field on my form. It runs fine the first time. However, if the user leaves the query open and goes back to the form, makes a new selection, and clicks the button to open the query, the query doesn't refresh. The user either has to close the query and re-run it or press the Refresh All button. I need a way for the query to refresh automatically if it is open already or not. The only other alternative I can think of is to program the database to close the query and re-open it. I tried using QueryName.Requery and QueryName.Refresh but in both cases, it tells me that an object is required and I don't know what it wants. I also tried setting the query definitions using VB, but the query is apparently too long because no matter what I do, I can't get it on one line and Access doesn't seem to like it if the query takes up two lines.
i have a database that runs updates from within itself.what i need is, this database to then open a another database run a update query, then close it.
Hello. Is it possible to close all open reports from one button on a form?
The form is a popup that appears if there are no records in a report. When the popup appears, and the user clicks OK, it is running a macro that closes the popup form and then the report. I would like to use this popup form for a number of reports, so obviously the macro cannot be used as it is only for one report.
I'm trying to find out what's the best (or good ways) to open and close a database (*.mdb) in ASP without worrying about it staying open. The website stops running (page not displayed) after it has been visited several times I think, or it's happening when I'm creating new scripts I made which crash several times during debugging. Not sure what's causing it.
Here's how the db connections work. I'm basically using (includes) to do lots of this.. every web page that requires the DB, I do this format...
(includefile: open database) (includefile: create constants/variables) (includefile: load functions used) - the html page, which access functions when needed - (includefile: close database)
the includefile that holds all the function scripts does not open or close the db at all but only the recordsets semi-example function (function) rs.open "", cn <--- the cn was opened in the database script - blah = the stuff - rs.close (end function)
Is this a good way to work with the database? I'm using access. Yes, i know sql servers are better, but I was told that since I have only access, I want to minimize the number of connections, so I open the database once during the page being opened, and close at the end of the page.
Like I say, the problem is, the site works great for a while (no real visitors yet as it's new), but it suddenly says "page not displayed" after a while. NORMALLY this happens when I'm making new functions/webpages and did the coding wrong while the database is still open. I'm thinking it's crashing because there were too many errors during the database being open.
PLEASE HELP!
BTW, is it possible to just run a script that finds ALL the open connections after a crash and close them?

I need to find a way to close a file (spreadsheet) if it was left open by a user before my scheduled macros need to delete and remake that file to update it. Is there a way to do this in Access? I've been looking for scripts everywhere... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick.
Is there a command line argument to open AND close a db? I am running a schedule task to open a db which has an autoexec macro but I don't want the db to stay open after running the macro. Or is there a close db function in a macro? I see close form but not db.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of how to have a form open to the record it was on when it was closed. I know I've seen how to do this before, but I've spent some time searching and I can't seem to find it again.
I am tying to create a cmd btn called "Report" that when clicked opens a form [quick report] in dialog window. I have that done easy enough. But what I want is if that form [quick report] is open, and you click the same button "Report" for it to then close the form.
I currently have an unbound form I am using as a switchboard. When a button is pressed it loads a form asking for the user to enter their password (the swtichboard is then closed). If the correct password is entered the form opens to their details, when that form is closed, the swtichboard re-opens. I want an action that if the correct password is not used, then a msgbox lets them know and then the Switchboard they were at re-opens. So far I have the following code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "Incorrect Password!" Cancel = True End If End Sub
This works well, but I am unsure how to write that after the msgbox I want the Switchboard to open. I tried to add "DoCmd.OpenForm frmSwitchMain" in various places, but I am unsure on the proper procedure to do this.
I am at my Login Screen, I want it to return to the Login Screen if you select "NO" and Close the DB if "YES"
Here is my current code:
Private Sub Form_Close() If MsgBox("Would you like to EXIT the Database?", vbYesNo, "Quiting Database") = vbYes Then Application.Quit Else ??? End If End Sub
I hit ok and the usual invoice_id param text box message box appears again.
Once that is over, I gain access. I can browse to the form - frm_system, open the sub-form sub_frm_invoices and remove the invoice_id field. Once I re-add it everything works fine (until I close the application).
I initially thought it was because the database was set to "compact on close" but I disabled that and it is still occuring .
I know this is the cause but as the sub-form itself uses a table record-source I know the field exists - not to mention I can simply delete and re-add it to fix it temporarily.
This behavior occurs when a field, a criteria, an expression, or a control in a query, a form, or a report references a name that Access cannot find. For example, a name could be misspelled or a field may not be available within that scope.
Basically it looks like the textbox displaying the invoice_id on the form is the problem. I can't figure out why though. When I remove it everything works - the queries work if I recreate it as well..
I have a form I want to close but somehow the codes running before it cancel it out before my closing code can run.
Here is the full code for the form.
Code: 'Check for Null Fields If IsNull(Me.cmb_to_customer) Or IsNull(Me.cmb_from_customer) Then MsgBox ("Please enter a TO CUSTOMER and FROM CUSTOMER to continue.") Cancel = True
[Code] .....
This is the ending code that will not run:
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Continue or Not, If yes then wipe all fields, If no then exit form If MsgBox("Do you want to log-in/transfer more batteries?", vbOKCancel, "BATTERY LOG-IN/TRANSFER") = vbCancel Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "FRM_LOGIN" Else Me.cmb_from_customer = Null
I need to make a query that will show the oldest cases and then open this one in the main form. It will be possible that there could be several cases with the same date. For example the query runs and the results are 7, how could I get one of those cases in the main form.
The idea is that a person will click on a button called "next case", the query will run and then it will open the case in the main form.
All i want to do is after executing the following code, close the form " EmployeeFind" on completion?
Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_Form_DblClick Dim stDocName As String Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response Msg = "Employee allocated to Job" Style = vbOKCancel + vbInformation Title = "Employee moved" ' Define title. Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title) If Response = vbOK Then
In the main form I have a list box, when I right click on each item on list box another form "frmshortcut" (pop up) will be open in the position of mouse that shows a list box for selecting items according to below code, now I would like when select another place (except "frmshortcut"), this form automatically will be close, like what we have in shortcut list of windows. Now when right click it is opened in the location of mouse click, but problem is, it is not closed automatically when click in other places of main form.

I have two problems excel instance does not close at the end and two when I try to do the looking using text it works but soon as I try using date/time it returns nothing.

I have a subform that is used in multiple other forms. I wish to have a command button that will close whichever main form the subform is in. Is there some way I can make an if statement that is something like the following?
If (main form = A) then Close (form A) ElseIf (main form = B) then Close (form B) etc. End if
Unfortunately the button has to be in the subform, not the main form (which would be easier). The purpose of the button is to delete the current records that are open and then close the form. The catch is that the subform is the parent record to the main form, so the command has to originate from the subform so that the cascade delete works properly.
I have a form I would like to close without saving the record using a button. here is the code I have but it closes the form and it also writes the record to the table.
Code: Private Sub ClosewoSave_Click() Cancel = True Me.Undo DoCmd.close DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMenu" End Sub
I found in a thread that Cancel = True would not write the record.
I have a problem when I close a form to stop it from closing if a date is not filled in.
If the field "Case_Status" is filled in with "response received" and the date field "response_received_date" is blank, it shows a message and fils in the text box with red background.
It simply fails to keep the form from closing till the date is filled in. Code I have so far:
Private Sub CloseForm_Click() If Me.Case_Status = "response received" And IsNull(Me.response_received__date_) Then Me.response_received__date.BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) MsgBox ("Please fill in manatory fields!!!") DoCmd.CancelEvent Else DoCmd.Close End If End Sub
I've a custom menu bar from which I can choose any of my forms. However when you choose a new form the old form stays open, sloppy in my mind. Is there any way i can choose the new form from the menu bar & close the previous form? I've tried to close on deactivate, w/ no luck.
I am trying to set up something to be able to take me to a folder that holds various forms for personnel. I have a query that generates the link for each person. I have tried to set it up as a hyperlink in ACCESS 2013 and it displays as one but doesn't act like one.
I want to be able to click the link and have it open up a personnel folder for that individual. I can't find a MACRO that I can create to do it. Example of my query is that it creates a link K:Main BreakdownSection BreakdownPersonnel FoldersName and the name is the variable part.
My next problem will be to have it create that folder when we have new personnel arriving.
I would also note that I have not worked with ACCESS in many years and much of what I was able to do with 2002 and 2003 doesn't work with the newer versions of ACCESS.
