Modules & VBA :: Beforeupdate Event Undo Change To A Combo Box?
Oct 7, 2013
I'm working on a bit of code that before a combobox is changed checks with the user to confirm that they want the change to go ahead, if yes a recorded is added to a table
This all work fine apart from if no is selected - I am trying to get the combobox to undo the change however when you select no the msgbox pops up fine but the combobox does not undo
Can't see where I'm going wrong I thought undo worked for comboboxes
Code:
' Displays a message box with the yes and no options.
Response = MsgBox(prompt:="Do you wish to change the status of this Job? 'Yes' or 'No'.", Buttons:=vbYesNo)
' If Yes button selected
If Response = vbYes Then
[Code] .....

I have On Load, Current, After Update events on a form, which all work fine. But, when I add a Before Update, I get the error: "Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name". Following is my code:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
If InStr(Me.Filter, "=") > 0 Then
If IsNumeric(Mid$(Me.Filter, InStr(Me.Filter, "=") + 1, Len(Me.Filter) - InStr(Me.Filter, "="))) Then
Me.Tag = (Mid$(Me.Filter, InStr(Me.Filter, "=") + 1, Len(Me.Filter) - InStr(Me.Filter, "=")))
End If
End If
[code]....

Question - How do you do data validation during the BeforeUpdate event? How do you halt the event without getting an error message?
I have tried the following:
If (Me.Control.Value <> "") Then
'Do nothing.
Else
Msgbox "Please enter a value for Control."
Cancel = True
End If
When Cancel = True is executed, I get the following message:
You can't save this record at this time. DatabaseName may have encountered an error while trying to save a record. If you close this object now, the data changes you made will be lost. Do you want to close the database object anyway?
I can't seem to halt or "cancel" the BeforeUpdate event without getting this error message. After hours of looking for this answer, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a mainform with a search function so the user can select a record to view and update. The selected record is displayed in Subform1 on Page1 of a tab control. The record source of this form is Query1. Page2 of the tab control contains Subform2; record source is the result of Query1 joined to Query2.
The forms correctly displays, updates and adds records my problem occurs when I add VBA code to the BeforeUpdate event of a control on Subform1. The code appears to execute once for each page in the tab control.
Has anyone any suggestions on how I can correct my problem.
Thanks

I'm using Access 2K. I have created a Form BeforeUpdate event to check that certain fields in the form have been filled. However, I don't want to do the check until after a subform entry is also complete, but the BeforeUpdate event fires as soon as the subform is entered. Is there any way I can around this?
Thanks.

I've got a form with Text boxes StartDate (datatype = Date / Time) and Interval (datatype = Numeric).
Both text boxes are bound controls.
I'd like to validate whether summing the StartDate with the Interval entered results in a calculated date, falling on either Saturday or Sunday.
If so, the Interval needs to be reset so that the calculated day will fall on the first Monday falling after the StartDate.
The code I've got so far results in an error:
Run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009):
The macro or function set to the BeforeUpdate or ValidationRule property for this field is preventing Microsoft Access from saving the data in the field.
I can understand why this error is generated.
What I can't figure out is how to adapt the code.
The AfterUpdate event is no option as this is triggered too late...
BTW, I'm on Access2000
Here's the code I've got so far:
Private Sub Interval_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Response
Dim strInterval As Integer
If Weekday(Me.Startdatum + Me.Interval, vbMonday) = 6 Or Weekday(Me.Startdatum + Me.Interval, vbMonday) = 7 Then
Response = MsgBox("Eerstvolgende klusdatum valt in het weekend, laten vallen op maandag?", vbYesNo)
End If
If Response = vbYes Then
strInterval = 8 - Weekday(Me.Startdatum, vbMonday)
Me.Interval = strInterval
Else
If Response = vbNo Then
Me.Undo
End If
End If
End Sub
Regards,
RV

I have to maintain an Access form which contain a linked subform (using Master and Child fields).
Basically, in the main form (Form1), the user choose a value in a combobox and the subform (Form2) is automatically updated.
My issue is that I have a BeforeUpdate event on one field of my subform which is preventing to update the field (Cancel=true) when it does not meet the criteria. The alert msgbox should appear once if there is any error in the field but the BeforeUpdate event is always fired 3 times for unknown reason.
What I don't understand is that if I open the subform (Form2) as a main form or if i remove the child/master link fields in the subform property sheet, it is working as expected with the BeforeUpdate event being fired only once.

Currently I have an issue where on of the fields in a userForm will not update. I have tracked down the problem to an update Event procedure
Code:
Private Sub txtRate_Change()
Me.txtSales = Me.txtRate * Me.txtPages
Me.txtGST = Me.txtSales * 0.1
Me.txtTotal_Inv = Me.txtSales + Me.txtGST
End Sub
The idea being, when you update the rate, the Sales/Revenue figure will update based on that rate. For a while this seemed to work fine. but recently , it just will not allow me to update the field txtRate, I cannot understand why. I have now replaced the _Change() event for a _LostFocus() event. but I am not sure that is as reliable, and I am still puzzled / worried as to why the _Change event will not work.I'm on Access 2013, win 7 , using a front end db connected to the back end using linked tables.

I have a combo box with three columns, the first one is the bound one, the second is text in English, and the third is text in Spanish. Currently when the form is open, both the English and Spanish texts columns are visible. What I would like to do is set up a command button on a different form that will open the form with just the English showing in the combo boxes, and another button for Spanish. I've tried the following code which opens the form, but the combo box is disabled altogether.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditar", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
DoCmd.SetProperty "niv_gest", acPropertyColumnWidths, "0;1;1"
What am I missing?

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"

Had a combobox so the user could choose between two data entry formats.They don't want the combobox, they want the user to enter data into one or the other textbox - and that choice to trigger the format.Two groups of text box - group 1 has a single text box - group 2 has three text box. When the user selects a text box and types the first character into it. This triggers locking out the other group choice and enables the <Validate and Edit> command button.
If the user backs out (deletes) the text in a text box.It basically makes both groups available again and it disables the <Validate and Edit> command button.Basically, if the text box Change event counts a character, it changes the text box Tag to "Bust". Then it calls a common routine that checks both text boxes.The choice won't take place if the textbox gets focus. It changes if a text box has 1 or more character typed in.
Code:
Sub WhosOnFirst()
' two groups of Required field - if one textbox in a group has a character entered first
' that group becomes the Format - enables the <Validate and Accept> button that will take the next setp

I am trying to write a code that will execute at the change even of the combobox/Listbox and when a character is typed in it then all the data from "DocumentType" field whose first character matches with the first character typed in Combo/Listbox will be stored in it.
The following code doesn't work:
Private Sub ComboBox4_Change()
Dim strText, strFind As String
strText = Me.ComboBox4.Text
If Len(Trim(strText)) > 0 Then
strFind = "BarcodeRef like '" & strText & "*'"
End If

I have an unbound textbox with certain value. I want the user to be able to change the value, but first, I want them to get a question about it. I have added the following code to the before update event for that textbox. If they answer "No" to the question i want the value to go back to what it was, but if they say "yes" then I want the value to stay and a table to be updated.
Code:
Private Sub txtCustRepID_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim CallIDVar As Long
Dim sName As String
Dim CustRepIDNew As String
Dim CustRepIDOr As String
CustRepIDOr = Me.txtCustRepID.Value
[CXode] ....
The code for "Yes" works well, but when the user selects "no", the value in the textbox does not reverse back to the original value.
What do I need to do?
Also, I would like to add a message box that says "The value has been changed from (original value) to (new value)" How do I do that?

I have some code to check a combo box if a date field is filled in, then the combo box can't be empty.I can make the error message appear, but the combo box does not want to change color and it does not recognize any other than value..This is the code that I have, and it does not work like I wish it could.(I took the database over from some one else and need to make improvements on it. the field names where not created by me).
Code:
Private Sub cmbCurrentStatus_AfterUpdate() '<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Working on >>>>>>>>>>>>>
If IsNull(Me.[STEP 1 4 check current status]) And Not IsNull(Me.[Checked__date_]) Then
MsgBox "Checked (date) can't be empty if Current Status is filled in!", , "Incomplete Form!"
Me.[STEP 1 4 check current status].Value = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Else
Me.[STEP 1 4 check current status].BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If

I'm using the following code to ask the user whether to save changes to the data, don't save changes or Cancel the close and continue editing. I'm closing the form using the 'X' only.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim UserResp As Integer
UserResp = MsgBox("Record(s) have been added or changed." & vbCrLf & "Save the changes?", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case UserResp
[Code] ....
The problem I'm having is when I press the 'Cancel' button in the message box. When I press 'Cancel' the form remains open (bPreventClose=True) which is what I want. But the changes to the data get undone even though I don't have Me.Undo in that case.
First, what's causing the undo?
Second, how do I prevent the data from undoing when I press 'Cancel.'
I went to add a record earlier and selected 'Cancel' because I wanted to change one small item. I lost all the data I had put in and had to start over.

I have a field (AR#) that has an "on change" event. This is supposed to check through the database and see if that number has been here before (it's like a job # / serial #). It had always worked fine - now suddenly this field, and this field only, reacts VERY, VERY slowly when you type a number in. You can type the number and wait about 5 seconds for it to show up. When I removed the event - it acted normally so I think it has to do with that. Here's the vb for the event:
Private Sub AR__Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim Rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strAR As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
strAR = Me.AR_.Text
Set Rst = db.OpenRecordset("repairs", dbOpenDynaset)
Rst.FindFirst "[AR#] = '" & strAR & "'"
If Rst.NoMatch Then
Else
MsgBox ("This value it is already in the system !")
End If
End Sub
Any ideas why it's reacting so slow or what I should look for?

I have a Memo box where the user puts comments and then I have a check box that if check automatically puts a specific phrase on the first line of the Memo box (before any other text currently in the box). What I am trying to do is have it so that if the "check box" is UN-checked it will remove the line that it just added to the Memo box. I have been able to get it to undo everything in the Memo box, but what I really need is for it to just undo the last line of text that was enterd when the user checked the box.
Example:
Memo Box:
This is the line that the checkbox just added when the checkbox is set to "True"
This is the test data the user has already put in the box...
==================
User now UN-checks the checkbox (I want the Memo box to read.. see below) Thereby deleting the line "This is the line that the checkbox just added when the checkbox is set to "True""
Memo Box:
This is the test data the user has already put in the box...
How can I accomplish this?

Hi, I have found the answer to most of my problem, thanks to previous posts.
I am using the Undo command on a Date field. However it seems that my code is maybe not staying on the event to action the undo.
After it runs the Focus goes to the next field Me.LeaveDays and the value is automatically entered, unless I comment back in the Goto's in which case the value will be zero.
I want to be able to Undo the EndDate (and preferable the StartDate, and Setfocus to StartDate) EndDate will do if not possible.
Don't want to Undo the whole form, although that could be a last resort.
My code is in the before_update event, image posted (ignore faded fields, not visible/needed in final solution)
Private Sub EndDate_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Dim intLeaveLeftAL As Integer
Dim intLeaveLeftSL As Integer
Dim intLeaveDays As Integer
Dim dtNullDate As Date
Dim varNullField As Variant
intLeaveLeftAL = Nz(Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![DailyALInc] - (Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![ALDays] - Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![ACDays]), 0)
intLeaveLeftSL = Nz(10 - Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![SLDays], 0)
' Use the WorkingDays function to calc the number of Leave Days
' set LeaveDays and requery the form
intLeaveDays = WorkingDays(Me.StartDate, Me.EndDate)
If Me.LCode = "LC41" Then ' Sick Leave
Select Case intLeaveDays
Case Is > intLeaveLeftSL
MsgBox "Employee does not have enough Leave" & vbCrLf & "to take as Sick Leave.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Entry in Error"
varErrorCondition = True
Me.EndDate.Undo
GoTo Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Case Else:
End Select
ElseIf Me.LCode = "LC11" Or Me.LCode = "LC13c" Then ' Annual or C/Fwd Leave
Select Case intLeaveDays
Case Is > intLeaveLeftAL
MsgBox "Employee does not have enough Leave" & vbCrLf & "to take as Annual Leave.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Entry in Error"
varErrorCondition = True
Me.EndDate.Undo
GoTo Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Case Else:
End Select
End If
Me.LeaveDays = intLeaveDays
Me.LeaveDays.Requery
varErrorCondition = False
Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate:
Exit Sub
Err_EndDate_BeforeUpdate:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
End Sub
The ifs and cases work fine, just like to send the User back a few steps
appreciated :) :)

I am using an active x control that when you right click on it, it automatically pops up an "About" box showing information about the control. I wouldn't object to this, but I need to use the right mouse down event for another purpose in my program. So far I have discovered that the code I put in the the event works, but only after the "About" box pops up. Is there anyway to cancel or prevent the popup? The reason that I need the right mouse down event is because is that I am already using the left mouse double click event, and I can't use the left mouse down event because then it always fires before the left mouse double click event. This control doesn't have any single click events. Ideas?

I am developing a form whereby the user types a single character or a sequence of characters into textbox and a query WHERE clause is compiled upon each character being entered.
The query is the Row Source of a listbox which I requery upon each change in the text box contents.
In the Change event I cannot access the new contents of the textbox until focus moves to another control and then back to the textbox. This is not how I expect this event to work.
