I'm trying to place an if statement in an afterupdate event on a form. The code I have is
Code:
If [Customer] Like "BRO001" And [Inv No] is null Then [Job_Price] = [Shots] * 27.5
this gives me a run time error, object required and highlights
Code:
If [Customer] Like "BRO001" And [Inv No] Is Null Then
I'd like the code to do nothing where the requirements to alter the job price are not met.
I have a form with (among others) a Y/N field and a multivalued field. The Y/N field indicates whether or not the resident is year-round or not (seasonal/snowbird). The multivalued field contains the months the resident it here. The user wants me to auto-select all months in the multivalued vield when the year-round field is set to yes in order to minimize data entry.
I have been trying to use an AfterUpdate Event using the following syntaxes as a test but Access doesn't like the format at all:
[Master Table].[Months Available].[Value] = "June" (this gives 2465 error)
Me ! [Months Available].[Value] = "June" (this gives a 424 error)
I'm not at all fluent with VBA but have been successful in populating form fields using data fields in another table so thought this would be similar.
Any way other than not to use multivalued fields? Because that isn't an option.
I'm currently trying to make the call answering screens a bit better in the call centre that i work in. i'm trying to make a caller i.d. for incoming calls. i have a reference library from the telephone software people in vba that lets me dial and hangup the phone, now i'm trying to place a text box on the form that will update to show the number of an incoming call which will enable me to search a table of contacts and display the details of the caller if they are available. i'm guessing that i need to create a loop that will run until there is an incoming call but i don't know where to place the code without it needing a mouse click or mouse over to trigger it. i just want it to run constantly.

Hello,
I have an "After Update" event procedure for a field on a form that calls a VBA sub. When I use a different VBA sub to input a value in the above mentioned field, the "After Update" event does not occur, even thought the data in the field has been changed. (Of course if I manually enter the data, the field "After Update" event works.)
Is there a flag or condition that needs to be set in my VBA sub to let the field realize that it has been changed? Or possible a way to call the fields AfterUpdate Sub?
I tried having a my sub call the AfterUpdate sub to see what would happen, but didn't get it to work. I got a bunch of error and didn't feel like this was really the way to go.
I also could just duplicate all the code in the AfterUpdate sub for the field, but we all know that that is not a good idea.
Thank you for any help.
I have structured a subform as a datasheet to allow users to copy and paste from Excel into the database. Datasheet has numerous fields and 18 rows. I have set up recalculations of other data in the AfterUpdate event of the fields in the datasheet. This works perfectly until the user copies multiple rows from Excel and pastes them (one column at a time) into the datasheet.
Is there an event I can capture when the user copies and pastes a column?
Muchas-Grasias for any assistance.
So I have a bound form with the following onload code:
Code:
'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function
Dim Completed As Double
[code]...
This works fine and set the caption and color of a label on this form.On this form I have several (now only a few, but in the end probably 40 controls or so) which will get updated by the user. When any of these controls are updated, I want the label lblpercentCompleted to get updated with the propper caption and color, however I am having trouble doing this.
I have an afterupdate event on each control with the same code as the onload code, however the message box below appears but the label does not update.
Code:
Private Sub TransferDieCutsOn_AfterUpdate()
MsgBox "Updating Label"
'Add the percent completed to lblPercentCompleted by calling the function
Dim Completed As Double

When I pass a value from MyTextBox to MyComboBox using:
Me.MyTextBox = Me.MyComboBox
It does Not trigger the AfterUpdate Event of the ComboBox
I need it to! Any Suggestions??
I have tried: copy and pasting by but that creates a problem
Me.MyTextBox = BarCodeData$ 'passes the variable value to MyTextBox
Me.MyTextBox .SetFocus
Me.MyTextBox .SelStart = 0
Me.MyTextBox .SelLength = Len(Me.MyTextBox ) + 1
SendKeys "^c" 'copies the value of of MyTextBox
as soon as I add the below line, it no longer copies the value in
MyTextBox
Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
The onEnter Event of MyComboBox has the following code that works fine.
Private Sub cboLookupPart_Enter()
Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
Me.MyComboBox.SelStart = 0
Me.MyComboBox.SelLength = Len(Me.MyComboBox.Text)
SendKeys "^v"
End Sub
If I ran all the code above, all works but the "Copy" and thus anything
that may be in the clipboard is pasted into MyComboBox, and the
AfterUpDate of MyComboBox triggers.
I know that there are compelling reason NOT to use the SendKeys but I
was just trying something
What I'd really like to do is eliminate MyTextBox and pass the Variable
directly to MyComboBox:
Me.MyComboBox= BarCodeData$
And have it force the AfterUpdate Event of MyComboBox
Eagerly awaiting suggestions!
Thank you,
Robert Bloomfield
Can the result of a combo-box be used in text in an AfterUpdate event?
Example, the combo-box (Result) can be negative or positive. If it is negative a textbox is populated with the test is (combo-box here)?
I have a form with 7 types of weights (7 textbox rows) showing 7 weights in kgs and the others in lbs.When the user update any weight-kgs textbox, the opposite weight-lbs textbox will be updated automatically, and viceversa.Now, I'd like a fast way to code this action without writing the After Update_event for every textbox (they're 14).I have already setup textbox tags differently with "WeightKGS" and "WeightLBS", thinking about using "for each ... next" statement, but I have some problems to resolve what I want.

I have a form with a field called "CCN" and what I need to do is have some sort of code that will look at the table "Application Data - NE" and check to see if there are any duplicate records for that CCN on the "AfterUpdate" function and if so; spit out an error message saying "CCN already exist; please try another".
Does anyone have any ideas on how to code this?
I know how to do the custom error message; I am just not sure how to have it check for duplicates before the rest of the form can be updated/before the record is saved.
I have an afterupdate event that is supposed to send an email when a box is updated. Most of the times the code works fine except for one case.
The code checks the value of a field in subform in another tab of the same form
Code:
'find the MSM date
[Forms]![Project Main]![Marketing Specialist Main]![MSMDate].SetFocus
MSMDate = Nz([Forms]![Project Main]![Marketing Specialist Main]![MSMDate].value, "__-___-__")
This field (MSMDate) keeps its value in a separate table.
The problem comes when there is no value in this other table for the given project. If this is the case, the subform does not even appear on the main form (it is all a grey box) and the Setfocus returns an error.
I tried to comment the setfocus line to see what the NZ function would do in the next line and it also returns an error.
It is almost as if the subform was not "initialized" for that particular record...
How can I account for those cases?
i want to use the AfterUpdate to calculate the age using two text fields

but it wont work
Someone fills in a new patient into the database, and the 'chipsoftnummer' which is the number in another database. That number is unique, so i want to have it where if someone fills in a number that already exists in the database the afterupdate event will open that record in the form.Here's the code i put in the input textbox update field:
private Sub chipsoftnummer_AfterUpdate()
Dim NewCHIP As Integer
Dim stLinkCriteria As Integer
Dim custNo As Integer

It doesn't work, simple things like hello world do work so VBA is enabled.

I have a form with a subform. In the form's On Current event I have the subform's visible property set to false. There is a button that when clicked sets the subform's visible property to true. I want the subform to go to the first control in a new record which is a combo box. the subform is a multiple items form. I have tried the GoToControl in the subforms OnCurrent event, but it is not working. I get an error saying the database cant find a third form.

I have an order form with an order details sub form. Both are bound to their respective tables and function correctly, with the OrderID being inserted automatically into the order details table.
However I am using VBA to update and check stock and have it working when attached to a separate form called process orders. Which event would be the best place to place this code. I do not really want to have the process orders form. Would it be on the master form or the sub form. I thought of placing it in the after insert event on the subform, but there can be many order items per order and it will run before I have finished adding order items. I tried it in the after insert event on the master form, but I think that this will run the code too soon as at this stage the order details will not have been written to that table.

I want to call the "On Current" event of another form.

I was wondering if you can call a textboxes onExit event from another form? On my form a user enters a search criteria into a text box and when they exit the textbox the results are displayed in a listbox. This form is a subform on my main form.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to make clickable labels on my form, so if the user has any questions about the field, clicking on the label would bring up a message box that would give them more information. I know how to write onclick events one by one for every label, but there are a lot of them, and I feel like there has to be a better way.
I put the label names, and the text I'd like for the message box in a table, and I'd like to have a module that will allow me to click on a label, and have the right text come up.
I've researched ways to do this and have come up with nothing. The farthest I've gotten is an array tied to the form open event that just displays all the message boxes from first to last, one after the other. I believe that's on the right track, but is not a workable solution as is. I need to be able to tie the message box to the actual label the user clicks.
We use our CRM for entering client orders, which is done through our 'OrderEntry' form. On that form we have a subform that we use to enter order lines - as we have a range of products on offer, an order can be made up of one product or anything up to 100.We have an 'amount' textbox on the subform, that the users enter the cost of each line, and as they add more lines the total cost of the order is calculated using a textbox in the subform Footer, with the ControlSource set to =Sum([amount]).
On the main form, we have a Net textbox, that the user will add in the total cost of the order once they've added all the order lines, and providing the =Sum([amount]) textbox on the subform matches the figure in the Net textbox, a button to Proceed the order and go on to the next step appears.
The intermittent problem I have, is that the OnCurrent event I use to show the Proceed button does not seem to fire on its own - but when I stop the code and step through it, it will show the Proceed button without any problems.Here's the code:
(the Proceed button is referred to a 'Command80')
Code:
Dim OS As String
Dim UT As String
OS = OrderStatus
UT = fGetUserType
[code]....
I've made the part that refers to the Proceed button bold, but thought I'd add in the whole OnCurrent event in case there was anything in there that was blocking it.
I added in the MsgBox code at the bottom to make sure the OnCurrent was firing, and that works fine.I've searched through the rest of the code, and there's nothing else in there that references the Visible property of the button.I've been through the decompile process detailed here, and also been through this similar thread with a fine toothcomb and this still won't work.
I've saved the form out as a textfile and then imported it back in, both through the immediate window, and short of importing everything in to a new DB and starting again
I have the following Event Procedures in a form:
Private Sub PrimaryDisability_Change()
Select Case Me.PrimaryDisability
Case "Other (Specify)"
PrimaryOther.Visible = True
Case Else
[Code] ....
My problem is that when I go to a new record, the fields that I want hidden in the new record unless they meet the criteria are still visible. I have looked all over online and in books to determine the code I use or whatever I need to do to make the field invisible in the new record and only to appear in each record if it meets the criteria.
I currently use code in a module and code on each form in the on_load event to change the icon of the form.. the code i use is as follows..
in a module:
Code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_SETICON = &H80
Private Const IMAGE_ICON = 1
Private Const LR_LOADFROMFILE = &H10
Private Const SM_CXSMICON As Long = 49
Private Const SM_CYSMICON As Long = 50
[Code] ....
And on each form on load:
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, "k: est directoryhsicon.ico"
What I am wondering is would it be possible to store the .ico file within the DB file itself (i know access can store bitmaps) and reference the .ico in the form load event code?
Overtime the db file will probably move to its own dedicated storage so using a direct reference to the file wont work..
I have tried the following but get an error (it tries to reference the .ico file as to being in the root directory of the db file)
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, Left(CurrentDb.Name, Len(CurrentDb.Name) - Len(Dir(CurrentDb.Name))) & "hsicon.ico"
I have below vba code in a sub that opens word application and generates the data from a table based on criteria provided thru a form.
These lines are smoothly working..
But I need to place some headings in first line or second line of the document and then to start the table information to appear in the doc.
I tried to place my company name below way (see bold lines);

WordSetup
doc.Tables.Add Range:=doc.Range, numrows:=1, numcolumns:=5
'Trying to place main heading
'doc.Range(1, 0).Text = "fsdafds"
[Code] ....
But the table starting from column 1 and cell 1 till data ends up.
Finally I converted my trial lines to remark as it is not working at all.
