Question for Documentation purpose: Should the Public Type be declared in its own module?
Or should it be declared in a standard module where non-public functions use it? It is not for a Form module use.
For a Rule Engine, a function is calling one record on 4 different SQL Views (as linked tables) that have the same field format.
For speed, the recordset should only be opened once. However, there are multiple values that must be returned to the result table multiple fields.
One way to return multiple values is an Array. That has over head too.
Another way is to create multiple public variables. Not my choice for documentation. Another is to create a string.
This is a pure code module with several non public functions / subs. What is the documentation preference? List a Public Type close to the function, or place it in the Global module?
Background: A function can only have one return value.
By creating a public Type, multiple values can be returned.
Code: Public Type Income Wages As Currency Dividends As Currency Other As Currency Total As Currency End Type
Use this structure as the return type for a function. In a real situation, the function would look up your database tables to get the values, but the return values would be assigned like this:
Code: Function GetIncome() As Income GetIncome.Wages = 950 GetIncome.Dividends = 570 GetIncome.Other = 52 GetIncome.Total = GetIncome.Wages + GetIncome.Dividends + GetIncome.Other End Function
To use the function, you could type into the Immediate Window:
GetIncome().Wages
(Note: the use of "Public" in the Type declaration gives it sufficient scope.)
Important Notice The way this function is called will work, but is wrong from the aspect it re-calls the recordset over and over.
I have a code that finds the first, second, and third minimum value in a row across the fields. Now, I am trying to find a code to look at these values, find the field it is located, and return the field name. I tried several variations of my code to return the field name rather than the value, but have been unsuccessful to this point.
Function NthMinimum(intPosition As Integer, ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant) As Variant Dim varTempArray() As Variant, varTempValue As Variant, intArrayValues As Integer Dim I As Integer, J As Integer ReDim varTempArray(UBound(FieldArray)) intArrayValues = 0
[Code] ....
As you can see, this works to find these values while ignoring NULLS. How to return the field name?
I use access 2010. I have a form that allows the user to assign products to operations. Each operation can produce multiple products and each product can be produced at multiple operations. I manage this many-to-many relationship through the use of a third table that stores primary keys for associated products / operations.
tblOperation tblProducts tblOperationProducts
The query im trying to design will populate a listbox on the form that contains products which are available to be added to a given operation. In addition to the listbox there is also a combobox that allows the user to select the operation they want to add products to. As the user selects an operation, the query behind the listbox should return records for all products except the ones that have already been assigned to the operation selected in the combobox.
So far I've been able to make the listbox return all products always or return products that haven't been assigned to any operation at all, but I'm struggling to formulate the logic in my mind on how to show only products that have no association (through the tblOperationProducts table) with the operation selected in the forms combobox.
This is the query I have right now, it's not working:
Code: Select tblProducts.ProductID From tblProducts EXCEPT SELECT tblProducts.ProductID FROM tblOperation RIGHT JOIN (tblProducts RIGHT JOIN tblOperationProductMM ON tblProducts.ProductID = tblOperationProductMM.ProductIDMM) ON tblOperation.OperationID = tblOperationProductMM.OperationIDMM WHERE (((tblOperation.OperationID)=[Forms]![frmOperationProducts]![cboOperation]));
I have a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField] "kick the ball" "return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new] "kick the ball" "kick" "kick the ball" "the" "kick the ball" "ball" "return the pass" "return" "return the pass" "the" "return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.
Error 91 - Object variable or With block variable not set
I am getting this error telling me that an object variable is not set.
I know which variable it is but when I step through the debugger it sets the variable and all is fine? Issue is that public variable of a class is not getting set when the VBA Editor is not open?
This code runs fine the FIRST time, however trows up a message the SECOND time it is run.
The error is on the line ".Range"
I am trying to sort records which have been exported to Excel.
Dim LR As Integer LR = 5 Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlApp.Visible = True Set wbRef = xlApp.Workbooks.Add With wbRef
wbRef.Activate .Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate With ActiveSheet .Range("A2", .Cells(LR, "O").End(xlUp)).Sort Key1:=.Range("C2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes End With end With
I am trying to create a report which is sorted by KeyID, CustID. I don't want to display every Customer record but in the KeyID Footer I would like to display all CustID's associated with the KeyID. I have attached a sample mdb.
Would anyone know if there is a way to manipulate the current user value through code. I have a database and have all users signing on via the Admin user (basically not activating the password on the Admin user). I have a form that does request a password and username, which I use to allow access to various forms, etc. I know I could have done this through access security, but I needed to add some specific rules on the sign in that cannot be done through the standard access security sign-in. I am then able to store the username given at sign in and use this to allow or disallow access to various forms. I can also track when people sign in and sign out using this method.
Anyway, what I would like to do know is be able to set the system currrent user cuser variable to the user name they signed in with , and my reason for this has more to do with possible record locking conflicts if everyone effectively signs in as admin.
Is there a way to change the cuser variable through code ??
I have a form I use to create photo captions. The form has a field where users can edit a pre-generated caption and a field that stores their updates as a final caption in the field "selected_caption".. On my form is a button that runs the code below to check and see if a field ("updated") has been marked true, then copies the content of caption field into the selected_caption field. It works fine 90 percent of the time but for some reason this caption:
LA 109535, LA109535 partial site overview showing blowout with PL's 01- 04. Crew person is excavating a shovel test probe. Photo direction facing southwest. (Roll 31066, Frame 4958)
Results in a missing operator error. I thought it was like a special character thing, so I removed the "'" and the "-". Same error.
Code: Dim db As Database Dim rst As Recordset Dim upcap As String Dim strSQL As String Set db = CurrentDb
I have lookup table I use to return names for various "Sales Class" codes.It all works good but if there is a code that isn't in the lookup table it leaves that field empty.I want it to return the word "Unknown" for any code that doesn't have a match.Here is the SQL:
Code:
SELECT [Data1].OrderNum, SalesClasses.[Name] FROM [Data1] LEFT JOIN SalesClasses ON [Data1].[Sales Class] = SalesClasses.[Code1];
If I set a variable inside of a subroutine, it is set to nothing upon the end of the sub. Can I set a variable outside a sub and set its value, so that you can use it within subs?
I have an application where several different procedures are run repeatedly every xx seconds to get live updates from a server (different procedures depending which form the user currently has open.) Within each procedure, a separate single procedure is called only if a stored boolean setting is set as true. The setting itself is only changed very infrequently, such as on application startup, but needs to be initially set (i.e. it cannot just have a default of False if it is not set.)Because of this I am storing the setting in a single record table and have a function 'UsingWPilot' to return the boolean value. However, given the frequency that the setting needs to be accessed, and the fact that speed is crucial in the running of the app, I am considering adding a global string variable and modifying the function to look at the variable (possible values 'N' and 'Y') and only going to the table if the variable has not been set.
I have heard various things about how you should never if possible use global variables. My question is: is it faster to use a global variable than to open the table record each time?
option 1 :
Code:
Public Function UsingWPilot() As Boolean Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("rbl_Settings_System")
Option 2:
Code:
Public Function UsingWPilot() As Boolean
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset If Len(g_WPilot) > 0 Then UsingWPilot = (g_WPilot = "Y") Else Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_Settings_System")
I am just in the middle of writting a little bit of code that will go through each record in a query and export it into a word table. It's in the early stages but all was working yesterday. I've come to it this morning and ran it and now I get an error message;Run Time error 91: Object Variable or With Block Variable not set.
Code:
Private Sub Command15_Click() Dim MyDb As DAO.Database Dim rsLogin As DAO.Recordset Dim ObjHead As String Set MyDb = CurrentDb() Set rsLogin = MyDb.OpenRecordset("query here")
I have some code that will allow a user to pass to it the name of a report. The code will do various things to that report before presenting it for Preview, opening in Word etc.
At one point in the code I would like to refer to some control or property of the report. If I was to include this directly for one report, I might type:
Reports!Annual_Budget_Report.Recordsource = xyz
But instead of a specifc report, it would be the report as a variable (srReport_Name). However, if I type:
Reports!stReport_Name.Recordsource
The code complains, rightly, that there isn't a report called stReport_Name. The stReport_Name variable is currently set as String. I *think* the answer might lie in the variable type, but I'm still struggling.
I have a form in which am gathering information from the user to populate a table(Customer Master List) and at the same time (btn_Copy_Click Event)transferring the info to another form(Case) populating another table(Customer_Call). It is working fairly well, My issue is that before transferring the info I need to run a check(SQL Query) to make sure the customer or actually the Well ID don't exist in the Customer_Call table. I am trying to do this in pieces .....
1) capturing the well_Id in a variable(WellID) in the first form and using that to build the sql string and query the Customer_Call table.
2)once that works place it in a if / else clause to copy or not with appropriate messages
With that I am stuck in step 1
It works up until Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL) the i get Run-time error '3061' Too few parameters. Expected 1.
Code: Dim WellID As String Dim strModel As String Dim strSQL As String Dim rst As DAO.Recordset WellID = Forms!f_Customer_Lookup.Well_ID MsgBox WellID ' testing to see if it picks up the correct box in form strSQL = "SELECT Customer_Call.[Cus_Well_ID] " & _ "FROM Customer_Call " & _ "WHERE Customer_Call.[Cus_Well_ID] = WellID;" Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL) strModel = rst!Cus_Well_ID rst.Close MsgBox rst ' Testing to see if the strSQL captured the data Set rst = Nothing End Sub
I use a macro that attaches a document automatically to an e-mail address ready to send this report is governed by a query of which the criteria is " loss order number " this is in a pdf format of which I need if possible
The problem I have is the same pdf file keeps attaching itself to the e-mail no matter which loss order number I select. The reason I think is because the report is called NCR so it is not changing from the previous one. What I think can solve it but not sure and don't know how to do is get the " loss order number " within the report name.
If I just send the report to a file direct it does work as I am prompted for a file name
Can the loss order number get into the file name within a macro/vba
I want to get the output of a vba query (only one solution possible) in to a variable but the variable stays empty.
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT info FROM evaluationtable WHERE evaluation= " & evaluationchoice & " ") var = rst(0).Value rst.Close
some explination: evaluation and info are fields of evaluationtable evaluationchoice is a field in an accessform where I can choice a value from the evaluation field
the table is build as this (only two fields) evaluation - info
I am trying to set the following variable that will be used to create a PDF file in an already existing folder and name the file WorkorderIDddmmyyyy-hhnnss.pdf
The following variable setting creates the filenameddmmyyyy-hhnnssWorkorderID.pdf.
I just can't figure out how to construct it correctly.
Also, is there a way to dynamically create a folder if the folder doesn't already exist? I currently hard code the folder name but would really like to create the folder name based upon some other variable.
I have a form which load data from variables in record set where i can make insert update and delete i need to load sub form when the form load the problem is that all text boxes in main box load from variable which are in rerecord set and how can navigate using navigation buttons in main form.
