Sometimes we need a one-line function to just get the database path or things like that we cannot do on a query or on a Macro Object.
Like:
Function GetDatabasePath() = currentproject.path
possible?
I have never tried passing variables while calling a function so I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I'll give a simplified example of what I'm trying to do. The second variable vRank is reporting properly but the first one vID gets "stuck" on whatever the first item in the listbox is.
Code:
Dim vrt As Variant
Dim upSQL As String
For vrt = 0 To Me.List1.ListCount - 1
If Me.List1.Selected(vrt) = True Then
Call ChangeUp(Me.List1.Column(0, vrt), Me.List1.Column(1, vrt))
[Code] ....
I have a table with only two fields and one record: BegDate and EndDate (beginning and end date of the reporting period respectively). I also made a function with variables that look up those values for use as a date parameter in a query.
Here is the code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function getCurrentRepDates() As Date
Dim dtBegDate As Date
dtBegDate = DLookup("BegDate", "tblCurrentRepDates")
[Code] ....
I am getting a syntax error for the line marked red. How can I use "Between" function in VBA code? Access 2010
How you automatically initialize a newly instantiated class?
So when you create a new instance it will run a procedure to set attributes.
Im a relative novice with access VBA, and I'm really struggling with using Dcount with date variable. All I want to do is count if a certain date appears in a table. Here is the extract from my code:
Dim WorkoutDate as Date
Dim datecount as integer
datecount = DCount("[WorkOut Date]", "tblworkoutlogs", "[workout date]= " & WorkoutDate)
Whatever dates are in tblworkoutlogs, datecount is still = 0...I've trawled the net and tried many variations of the code but no success!if I change all the date formats to strings in the code and the tables, it works so I know i'm looking in the correct place.
I have a public sub routine which requires parameters to be passed to it when I call it from an access form. When I try to enter the code to call the sub I get a compile error. I've also tried calling it from another sub in the same module but get the same compile error - see below.
Code:
Sub EmailData(Datafile As String, To_mail As String, CC_mail As String, Subject_mail As String)
'code to use variables passed in
End Sub

I am trying to set up some template emails using text someone has entered in a form with a variable indicated with a key word in brackets aka. [ChangeID] or [ChangeDate]. The field on the form is formatted as Rich Text so I am getting http code. (No problems yet) In the form the template is required, I lookup the template required and I get the string. I replace the brackets with the following
Code:
strleftB = Chr(34) & " & me."
strRightB = " & " & Chr(34)
strTemplate = Replace(strTemplate, "[", strleftB)
I then get a string but in need to convert part of the string into variables, before I capture the correct output for my email
Code:
"<div>RFC Submission: <strong>" & me.ChangeID & ", </strong> " & me.Details & "</div>"
My question is: what is the best way to split the string into strings and variables
How can I assign some type of index to the below variables (data representation) ? I'm using VBA to build a .RFT file for MS Word.
"Line # 1 data"
"Line #2 data"
"Line #3 data"
. . . .
"Line #7 data"
"Line #8 data"
"Line #9"
. . . .
"Line # 22 data"
"Line #23 data"
"Line #24 data"
I need to set some 'global' variables with default values when my Access 2007 database is loaded. Depending on the user etc these values may be modifed after Access starts but defaults need to be set.
I declared the variables as 'Public' in a Module, then put a function in the same Module (to set the default values) then tried to call the function from an "AutoExec" macro, so it's the first thing that runs when Access loads.The macro throws an error - it can't 'find' the function(?)
What is the syntax for using variables in a VBA update statement? I have the following that I want to use to update a record field.
Code:
Dim thisTbl as String
If Answer = vbYes Then
If MedicationInvNo2 <> "" Then
thisTbl = "tblMyMedData"
Else
thisTbl = "tblMedData"
[code]....
I'm getting run-time error '3144' when the database tries to run the SQL. So I'm assuming my syntax is wrong (specifically in the WHERE clause)?
I have been tasked to create a multi-keyword search form, however, my form isn't working right and only the first record of the table is opened.
Code:
Public Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim strWord As String
Dim varKeywords As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim IngLen As Long
[Code] .....
These are the codes that I am using for my search form. I have a feeling that I am not calling the variable from the after update portion the right way.
I have a Change Management database with several fields, the key fields that I need to talk to work together are as follows:
[Patch] , [CVE] & [Patch Approved]
When opening a form I have I can sort it by the patch number which will then sort out all other CVE's that are not associated with that patch. What I would like to be able to do is approve one patch under the [Patch Approved] field and have it carried through the rest of the filtered CVE's that have the same [Patch] number/ field.
I wrote this module
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function OdometerInput(varodometer As Variant) As Long
Dim varKilometres As Variant
varKilometres = varodometer * 1.609344
OdometerInput = CLng(varKilometres)
End Function
It works fine in the immediate window (although I haven't just fathomed what to do with null values and such) But my question which I am sure will be 'easy when you know' is how do I pass the variable to it from a text box on a form and retrieve the data in another text box on a form.
I have a simple date stamp that works great in a private sub within a form. (error handling removed for clarity)
Code:
Private Sub btnDateStamp_Click()
' UserInit is global variable
Me!Notes.SetFocus
Me!Notes = Chr$(13) & Date & " - " & Time() & " - " & UserInit & _
" -" & vbCrLf & Me!Notes
[code]...
I am rewriting it as Module function that is Called from various forms, to save space. The function receives the parameters varFormName and varControlName. I wish to write the results of the function back to a memo field on the form.I am stumped at the get go by the need to refer to the Forms controls with a full reference instead of the Me command.
Code:
Function DateStamp(varFormName As String, varMemoName As String)
'varInitials, varFormName, varMemoName are global variables
Forms!varFormName.Controls!varMemoName.SetFocus ' Error here
'Me!Notes = Chr$(13) & Date & " - " & Time() & " - " & varInitials & _
[code]...
how to refer to the forms control's with their full reference, from within the Module's function, the rest will fall into place.
I am fairly new to VBA and am trying to apply a filter within a form so that agent records can be filtered based on an agent's name (so that they can only see information that refers to them).
I also want a record to be removed when it has been completed (when this habbens a date completed field will populated) however I do want to see those completed records that refer to the agent that have been completed today.
Here is my code. The 2 filters work on their own howver when I put them together I get a mismatch error.
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then
DateCompletedFilter = "(DATECOMPLETED Is Null) Or (DATECOMPLETED = Date())"
AgentFilter = "CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "'"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter And DateCompletedFilter
Exit Sub
End If
I'm looking at importing data into a table from a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will only contain a single column of data, while the table in Access will have a few more, some of which will would be will provided from the form the user is using to import the data, and some at a later date.
Is there a way to do this? I've found the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport" command, but not sure this fulfills what I need, as I can't see a way to set variable data.
Here is a brief idea of what my Table would look like, where where the data to import would be obtained from
Fields:
PromoID, DiscountID, PromoCode, AddedBy, DateAdded, UsedBy, DateUsed
Spreadsheet
PromoCode
Form:
DiscountID, AddedBy (environ("username") query), Date ( DATE() )
Note, the PromoID is a autonumber.
I am trying to set a filter on a form with VBA using variables and having no success at all. The code I tried last, which seemed to be "close, but no cigar", was:
Code:
Dim sFilterValue As String
Me.FilterOn = False
sBiller = Me.txtbiller.Value
sLastSource = Me.txtbiller.ControlSource
sLastSource = "[" & sLastSource & "]"
sFilterValue = sLastSource & "=" & sBiller
Me.Filter = sFilterValue
Me.FilterOn = True
sLastSource and sBiller are global variables. When I debug this code the sFilterValue is exactly what I would plug in manually and the Me.Filter shows up as "[Field Name] = Filter Value". But it crashes on Me.Filter = sFilterValue. I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing I've tried works. What is the proper syntax for using variables as filters?
I am writing a process for a hospital application in the UK
We have a concept of "Takes" which are periods to which patients coming into hospital are assigned to and thus the consultant (specialist) who looks after them.
They are fixed times between 0800-2000 (Day take) and 2000-0800 (+1) Night take.
I have written the following function to try and determine which take a patient should be assigned to based on the time now to power various queries to enable the end user to quickly see "today's day take" and "yesterday's take"
Testing it I seem to not be able to hit the right "Take times" in my output. I suspect it's a problem with the way I'm initiating my variables as Today 0800 and Today 2000
Code:
Function GetTakeStarttime()
Dim StartTime As Long
Dim EndTime As Long
Dim CurrentTime As Long
Dim YestStartTime As Long
[Code] .....
I am using Access 2013 under Windows 7. In my database I have a table, tblStock, with field names Module, Component_1, Component_2, etc. up to Component_50. I also have fields Qty_1, Qty_2, etc. up to Qty_50. These field names are not easily changed as they are constantly updated from another database. I want to create a table, tblTempBOM, using VBA by selecting a particular value of Module selected from a combo box on a form, from tblStock and creating a record with the Fields "Module", "Component" and "Qty" for each Component and Qty from 1 to 50. I am trying to use a From... Next... loop to cycle through the Component and Qty fields and store the data in the new table.
Dim strModule As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strQty As String
Dim strEye As String
Dim strTest As String
[code]....
This runs to the point where I try to set the value of rcd![StockCode], but the item rcdStock![strTest] has no value.Can I reference the value of the field in the rcdStock Recordset in some other way that would work?
Look at the below SQL 'INSERT INTO' statement ? I'm trying to insert multiple variable values into an 'INSERT INTO' statement. I'm getting the below error message. The code is listed below. I started out with two (2) variables, but will have thirteen to insert into a table. Also, in the code below is the VBA statement to retrieve the variable data. I'm getting the data, but cannot insert the data into the table.

Debugging my VBA code. I'm trying to track/display the content/value of a couple of variables to make sure they have the right value at a certain point.
What is the VBA code to say "display content of variable Var1" ? Where exactly will it display the value when instruction is executed?
I know I can just hover the mouse on a variable to see its content but some string varables like SELECT commands are too long and you cannot see the whole string.
Is there any way of opening recordsets as public or global in a form? E.g. if i do something like
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("TblCustomers", dbOpenSnapshot, dbReadOnly)
the variable rs should be available in all the private sub i have on that form, and i should be able to access records without opening database/ record sets for individual subs.
My problem is as follows, i have created a report that calculates the total volume of FSC Materials. The user picks two dates from Calender controls that the report will range from. However the needs have now changed and i am required to make the report filter further based on user input, the problem i'm facing is that i cannot figure out a way to pass values from different variables to the report separate from another here is the code i would usually use to pass data to a query/report:
Code:
Private Sub MonthlyFSC_Click()
Msg = MsgBox("Select the Start and Finish Dates you wish to Query.", , "Start / Finish")
Start = adhDoCalendar()
Finish = adhDoCalendar()
[Code] ....
However i am now trying to do this, but it gives me an error as it is trying to pass the values to one field:
Code:
Msg = MsgBox("Select the Start and Finish Dates you wish to Query.", , "Start / Finish")
Start = adhDoCalendar()
Finish = adhDoCalendar()
sql1 = "[ORDER DATE]<#" & Format(Finish, "MM/DD/YY") & "#"
sql2 = "[ORDER DATE]>#" & Format(Start, "MM/DD/YY") & "#"
[code]....
It is performing incorrectly within the case select and passing the wrong criteria, as it will only display results that meet the default values' criteria. However the date criteria is not be passed either.
I would like to declare Global or Public variables from a table so they can be added to or edited easily. I had the following function to do this with Alpha Five but at the moment my lack of knowledge of Access VBA is making this task difficult.
Here is the function that I use in Alpha:
FUNCTION udVars AS A (udTabName AS C )
dim codeStr as c
t=table.open_session(udTabName,file_ro_shared)
t.fetch_first()
while .not. t.fetch_eof()
[Code] ....
It opens a table reads in the records and then makes them into a string the string would look something like this:
"Public EuroRate as Single = 0.885"
I would then need to use this string to declare the variables but not sure what command to use - I was looking at the Eval function last night but couldn't get this to work...
The table would hold strings for all the above so you would have:
My_Var (variable name)
My_Typ (type of variable e.g. Single)
My_Val (value e.g. 0.885)
The table would hold as many variables as required, some would be dates, some paths for making directories and some would be numbers.
I have been at this for almost 3 weeks now and I'm having great difficulties trying to get this right and working. First let me explain what I am doing and what I am trying to do.
Firstly, I am making a Maintenance database using MS access software, what I have are tables, forms and no queries or report existing so far. The forms and tables all work correctly.
After the form (Job request) has been completed I need to save/export into PDF so I am able to hyperlink it against its existing asset card elsewhere.
now what I have done is Created button, on event "on click" I have tried to go to macro builder
ExportWithFormatting
Objet Type: Form
Object Name: FrmMachineFault/GenMaint
Output format: PDF
Output file:
Auto Start: No
Template File:
Encoding:
Output Quality: Print
when I click this button it opens to save to and it works perfectly but I have to manually type the file name when it gets to the Save to section.
What I want it to do is define the name by the existing fields in the open form. Example Closed date, Effected area, Asset and title.
What I am hoping for is something like this.
10/07/15_Foundry_Furnace_LPG_Leak
(Closed date)_(Effected Area)_(Asset)_(Tittle)
Is this possible?
