Modules & VBA :: Testing For Out Of Context Errors

Apr 9, 2014

I have quite a simple function. I am calling it in a query (through the Build window) like this:

Code : AbsMag: getAbsoluteMagnitude([Tbl]![m],[Tbl]![Distance])

When the input value for m is empty/Null, the response returned in the query is #Error. Problem is, any way I try to test for this in the function, it still returns #Error.The Watch for m reads "<Out of Context>" for these errors. Anyway to test/trap for this within the function itself?

Code:
Public Function getAbsoluteMagnitude(m As Double, d As Double, Optional dUnit As String = "Mpc") As Double
Dim absoluteMag As Double
' IsError(m) returns False
' IsNull(m) returns False
' IsEmpty(m) returns False

Modules & VBA :: Testing Combo Box Null Value

Sep 22, 2013

Windows vista
Access 2007

I can't seem to figure out how to test a combo box null value.I try:

Code:
If IsNull(Me.cboManufacturer) Then
MsgBox ("Please select category")
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptItemCategory", acViewPreview
End If

This works if the combo box IS NOT NULL, but if null it gives me:

PHP Code:

Run-time error '3071': This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. 
For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. 
Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables. 

I then tried:

Code:
If IsNull(Me.cboManufacturer.Column(0)) Then
MsgBox ("Please select category")
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptItemCategory", acViewPreview
End If

This works if the combo box IS NULL but if i've made a selection, it still gives me the message box as if I've selected nothing....

Modules & VBA :: Testing A Field In Table For Null Within IF Statement

Aug 30, 2013

I have a form with two list boxes on it: listAllBANANA and listActiveBANANA

The listboxes are populated from tblBANANA. Active is defined by the tblBANANA field "ResponseDate" being Null.

Also on the form is a CloseBANANA command button. When pressed with no selection, it opens frmCloseBANANA to the first record. If a BANANA is selected in listActiveBANANA, the form opens to the selected record.

Now comes the tricky part: if a BANANA is selected in listAllBANANA, I first need to verify they have an Active BANANA selected, before opening the form. I've poked and tested and searched and cut and pasted my little fingers off with no joy. What I've deduced is that I'm either messing up the syntax of the DLookup or I'm incorrectly referencing the selected record. There's also the third option that I'm going about this in entirely the wrong way.

All other code below works. If I delete or comment out the line in red, I have no issues other than I may open up a blank form because I'm trying to close a BANANA that is already closed.

Code:
'If a BANANA is selected in Active BANANA or All BANANA, open Close BANANA to that record. If not, open form to most recent record
Private Sub cmdCloseBANANA_Click()
If Not IsNull(Forms!frmGUI!listActiveBANANA) Then

Context Sensitive Form Fields

Sep 13, 2006

Is there a way in a form to have a combo box that causes other fields to show based on the value of the combo box? For example, if there are 3 selections to choose from in that combo box, selecting option 1 causes 5 fields to show up in the form. 5 other fields show up if option 2 is selected, and a different 5 fields for option 3.

I'm trying to track different details for each combo box selection. Right now I have a field for every detail of every option showing, and the form is pretty cluttered. I'm trying to only show the pertinent data.

If it's a built in Access function, that'd be great. If not, and it requires some coding, please know that while I'm very comfortable with computers and have done some programming, I've never done any coding specifically in Access, so I don't even know where to go to edit the code. So if you could point me there, too, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Modules & VBA :: Errors Caused By Not Using Linked Tables?

Jul 23, 2013

I have a separate front and back end for my database. I`m trying to merge them into one application, for easier distribution to users, but I`ve found that things that worked previously now produce errors, even though all I`ve done is import the tables as opposed to linking to them.

For example, the line:

Forms!Referrals!Paycode = str_Paycode

works perfectly if using linked tables, but if the links are all removed and the exact same tables are imported, I get the message 'Object invalid or no longer set'.

Is there some difference between linked and 'in-built' tables that I'm missing?

Forms :: Context Menus Don't Work When Access Window Is Minimized

Sep 24, 2013

I recently completed a db for a client and they have since asked that the access window be hidden for certain types of users.This I did using

Code:
ShowWindowAsync Application.hWndAccessApp(), SW_HIDE

if a relevant user opened the db. All well and good, except they then wanted to be able to see the Access link in the taskbar (which SW_HIDE doesn't do) - so I changed it to SW_MINIMISE and they were happy again until..They then realised (and it was a surprise to me as well) that the right click context menus used to filter and sort continuous or datasheet forms were no longer available to these users - nor was the context menu for datasheet columns to freeze or hide columns - see attached.

I've experimented with a number of options and these context menus are available if ShowWindowAsync is not called or if called with SW_HIDE, but not for SW_MINIMISED, SW_SHOWMINIMISED, SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE, SW_SHOWNOACTIVE.

Why the shortcut menus are not available when the Access window is minimised? The requirement being that the context menus are available to all users the Access link appears on the task bar for all users the access window is hidden for some users.I should say that due to hiding/minimising the access window all forms are popup and modal.

Modules & VBA :: Opening Excel File Errors Second Time

May 13, 2014

I have the following code, which works the way I want it to when I click the button the first time. However, if I close out the excel and click the button again, it errors at the line "ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Ref").UnProtect", with the message "Run-time error '91', Object variable or With block variable not set". I can not figure this out, why in the world does it work the first time, but not the second???

Private Sub cmdReport_Click()
Dim path As String
Dim XL As Object
Dim oBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim pic As Excel.Shape
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Modules & VBA :: Errors With Custom Filter - Data Full Of Records With Multiple Columns

Sep 11, 2013

Custom filter I'm trying to set up. I have a data full of records with multiple columns and a form linked up to it. The form has a search box that works as well as navigation buttons.

Currently I am trying to get a filter to work. The filter will use up to five combo foxes to narrow down the fields, then return the filtered records after clicking a button. The button itself is where my code is. My issue now though is I cannot get the filter to work if I try to use more than one combo box.

The code I have at the moment is as follows:
'------------------------------------------------------------
' cmdApplyFilter_Click
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdApplyFilter_Click()

Me.Filter = "[Asset Group] = " & Me.cmbFilter1 & "" And "[Location] = " & Me.cmbFilter4 & ""
Me.FilterOn = True

End SubThe current error I am getting is Error 13: Type mismatch. I also know that the And might be the cause but I cannot change it to AND: it keeps changing back.

Testing For A Sunday?

Feb 22, 2008

Hello peeps,
I have been working on a hours checking application, in which the user can enter their worked hours for the week and the application calculates how many hours at normal rate , time and half rate or double time rate have been worked for the week. All has been going swimmingly, with some help from here of course :)

What I would like to achieve now however, is, testing for a Sunday. This is because all hours worked on a Sunday, is paid at double time, regardless of the previous hours already worked for that week.

Example if a person worked 60 hours in a given week, there would be 47.5 hours of normal rate, 7.5 hours of time and a half rate and the remaining 5 hours would be at double time rate. But, if a person worked 60 hours in a week and 10 of those hours are worked on a Sunday, this would mean 47.5 at normal rate, only 2.5 hours at time and half rate and the remaining 10 hours at double time.

Therefore, is there a way I can test for a Sunday and perhaps automatically set a flag for the overtime calculation? Or is it possible with DateDiff() function, and if so could someone please assist me with the syntax or at least point me in a direction where I could solve this?

All replies gratefully recieved. Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to read this post.

Core Testing Database

Sep 1, 2005

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. Thanks ahead for taking the time to read through my post.

I am new to Access (I know the basics,) and will ask my question by hand of describing what I want to do with my database.

I work as a laboratory technician, where I need to test UTP cores (cores are what's called one of the 8 cables inside a UTP/Network cable.) I want to create a database where I can store these test results.

To make it easier to envision my database, I'll explain a bit about the actual testing. Cores are grouped together, and tested, according to batches. There are 40 cores in a batch. Each core has a unique job number. Further, the cores are divided into 8 different colors (Green, W/Green, Orange, W/Orange, Brown, W/Brown, Blue, W/Blue.)

A standard test procedure is done on EACH core: dimensions on the insulation on a X and Y axis; dimensions on the copper on a X and Y axis; a test to determine if the copper sits centre. There are thus 5 values I want to record.

My problem is: I want all 40 cores, each with their 5 values, on one form. I want to save this as one batch, or one record. How would I go about doing this? . It’s a bit more complex than your standard table-query-form-report database.


As I said, I am acquainted with the basics of Access. I can do tables, queries, forms and reports.

Thanks ahead.

Testing For Null Fails

Oct 19, 2004

I have a table where some of the values of MyField are null.

I am creating a function that depends on the value of Myfield which I pass to a variable varMyField and am testing it with If IsNull(varMyVariable) but it errors. Have tried setting the variable as a variant but no difference.

Function Test(varMyField as variant)

If isnull(varMyField) then
Dosomething,
Else
Dosomething Else

End function

Any suggestions please?

General :: Testing Folder For A Value

Aug 1, 2013

This code below works, but alot of what it does is unnecessary. I have a directory structure named 1000-2000, 2001-3000, 3001 - 4000 etc and within that is the individual folders 1000, 1001, 1002 etc

How do I test to search top level folder thats no larger than correctNum to then test the subfolder for correctNum? I've looked at instr and a few other funtions, but can't find a solution. Below is what I have now, it works but I know it searches everything and that's not correct

Dim filesys
Dim Subdir
Dim folder
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim oDir
Dim bDir
CorrectNum = Serial.Value

Logic Testing For Incremental Numbers

Jan 7, 2005

I need some help with code. I can do this in Excel, but I am not sure how to do it in Access.

Here are the fields:

PoundsPerBox
PoundsPerOrder
BoxesToOrder

Here is the scenario: If a customer orders custom paint for their equipment, we need to total how many pounds of Powder Coat paint it takes to paint all the units (PoundsPerOrder). When we order this from the vendor we have to order it by the box which is measured in pounds. In this example, the vendor will sell us a box of white Poweder Coat paint in increments of 55 pounds. (55, 110, 165,...)

Verbally, the logic reads like this: If PoundsPerOrder is less than or equal to PoundsPerBox, then BoxesToOrder equals 1. This logic needs to be tested for each increment value (indefinately) of PoundsPerBox.

Am I making sense? How do I accomplish this in Access? And, as a side note, I need to capture and store this value in a table for future reference.

Forms :: Testing Subform Conditions

Sep 25, 2014

I do not want to allow the main form record to be submitted unless there is at least one subform entry.Initially I thought it would be as simple as a "Before Update" event which would test the record count of the subform. This works... kind of... not really. It does check successfully, however the conundrum is that if the user has completed the main form and tries clicking INTO the subform to add records, this fires the Before Update event and Cancels the update event.

How can I force a user to complete the subform without running into this issue? I dunno how easy this is to do considering you kind of HAVE to exit the main form to enter the subform, at which point the record HAS to be saved...

General :: Testing Value Of Multiple Fields

Apr 6, 2014

I actually have about 13 separate fields in a table I'm trying to summarize in a single report field. Each field corresponds to a particular action taken. If the action was taken the field value is 1, if the action was NOT taken the field value is 0. The report needs to contain a single field that lists all actions taken. I tried doing this with an If statement formula on the report, but it does not work.

=(IIf([ACTION_VQ_SCAN]=1,"VQ Scan")) And (IIf([ACTION_OTHER]=1,[ACTION_OTHER_SPEC])) And (IIf([ACTION_CULTURE]=1,"Culture(s)")) And (IIf([ACTION_DRUG_THERAPY]=1,"Drug Theraphy"))........ and so on

It looks like it expects all if statements to be true, thus the formula does not return anything. Usually only 1 or 2 actions are actually taken, but I need to account for the possibility of any and all combination of actions.

General :: Saving PDF - Testing To See If Directory Exists

I'm starting to automatically save PDF copies of certain reports in predetermined locations. I need to copy a file to a particular directory (based upon various criteria), but if the directory does not exist, I want to create the directory on the fly first. Otherwise I will just proceed with the copy.

I'm sure there is a DOS command to do this, but I can't find it.

Forms :: Assigning Matching IDs From One Table To Another - Compliance Testing DB

Nov 11, 2013

A while ago I was tasked with creating a compliance testing database for my company's internal processes. For example: Payments, Hiring, Project Management, etc. Right now it's all done through Excel and is structured like this:

Compliance Test 01:

-----|Sample1|Sample2|Sample3|etc...
Item1|GradeA |GradeB |GradeC |etc...
Item2|GradeB |GradeA |GradeC |etc...
Item3|GradeC |GradeC |GradeA |etc...
etc...

In short, a Test has many Items (based on company regulations, like "Has the project been approved by all superiors?"). For each Item you choose a few Samples ("Project A", "Project B" and so on), and for each Sample the user attributes a Grade ("In Compliance", "Not In Compliance", "N/A", etc).

In the Tests mainform, the user fills in the Test details (Tab #1), chooses which available Items he wants to include in his test (Tab #2), details the Samples which will be tested (Tab #3) and finally assigns a Grade to each Item/Sample combination (Tab #4).

Here's what I can't figure out:

In the attached DB, if we go into the "CT - Projects 2013" and check the Samples in Tab#3, we can see they match perfectly with the ones at Tab#4.

Now if we go into "CT - Projects 2014" and do the same thing, we can see that the Samples assigned to the Items in Tab#4 don't match up with the ones in Tab#3 at all. This is because the DB is checking only if the Samples' ItemIDs match with the ItemIDs in the test. But it also needs to make sure that the TestID, the Item's TestID *and* the Sample's TestID match, or it just won't work!

I attached a 2003 version of the database as the first upload used Access 2010.
