Modules & VBA :: Report Function To Trigger On Next Record
Jun 25, 2014
im working on an access report and would like a little vba script to run on when the page prints out the next record (mostly just need to hide/unhide a few objects and change the value of a variable on the report when it prints the next record)how i can trigger this (as there seems to be no onNextRecord event handler)
edit: upon a better inspection of the reports record source i realized that on next record doesnt actually work (i could force it to by adding a few new fields to queries and forcing endless loops), what i needs actually a lil more complicated
my report has a header, in the header is a field called productionNo, the record source has multiple instances of prodno's with countless duplicates, what i need is a function to trigger when the productionno changes, there will probably be a few pages with the same production number (theyd be grouped together though), so it should only trigger when the value changes, not when it stays the same
I've got a subform that im writing code for, once a user enters a value in one of the fields i want to make sure they cant change that field (and two other fields in that same record, though the rest of the fields are fine to edit at will)
I've got a function already written to validate the data in the record and decide whether or not the fields are enabled and disabled, however im having trouble finding an event in which to activate the function
Is there an event that triggers whenever a user selects a different record?
Any chart or list with all the handlers and how they trigger (in relation to each other) and when?
hello i wish to trigger some VBA code when the user jumps from the present record to some other record on the form. there is the On Current event but that only applies to the record you are jumping to. i wish to process the information on the present record if u choose to jump to some other. BTW my form my form only shows one record at a time. Please help me out here. :confused:
I am new to MS Access, and I am wondering if there is a way for Access to automatically send an email to a defined address everytime a record is added to a specific table? I have created an escalated issue table and I would need an employees manager to be notified automatically when a new record has been added to it.
I am building a faux Electronic Medical Records database for the purpose of training med students. I need a command button to pull up a report , but i want to delay the opening of the report (as if waiting for "tests" to come back or be uploaded) is there a way to do this with VBA? i read about the sleep api but i dont know how to get it to work or where to put the code
so what would i add and where would i add it to delay opening the report that is called EKG W/ Subreport ...
I'm still learning Access 2010 and having issues getting my buttons to work. I'm working on a simple address database.edit/save button. On form load, my fields are locked and my button will read "edit". After clicking, my fields are unlocked, my search features are locked, and my button reads "save" just how I need it to. The issue happens when I try and save the field edits, lock fields, return search features, and get button to read "edit" again. I know I need to add some code into what I already have, but I'm running into a wall as I have tried many options to get it to work. Here is the code for this button:
Code: Private Function Lockdown() 'locks controls at load Dim tb As Control Dim cb As Control Dim subf As Control
[code]...
Second issue is with my report button. I have not been able to get this to work once. I have done many searches on single record reports, and have found the same code every time. I added that code into my database, but can't seem to get it to work. In my database there are two address (shipping and work location) which I would like to print out together. I have the work location on the main form and the shipping on a subform. There are and upwards of 150 locations I will have in my database, Here is the code I'm working with:
Code: Private Sub cmdrptadd_Click() Dim strReportName As String Dim strCriteria As String
In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=99457
I have about 4 combo boxes with a list value of dates in them, combo1 is the 'main control'. When a date from combo1 is chosen and a button is clicked, the other 3 combo boxes receive a default value that closely matches combo1. In fact the default value each of the 3 combo boxes receive exists in that combo box. For example, if I gave combo2 default value "2013/01/01", it actually has that date in its list. What I want to do is trigger a OnChange even after combo2,3,4 receive their values. Other things happen after the OnChage trigger is fired.
I am updating a value in an unbound control on an unbound form. When the value in the control is changed I want a sequence of code to execute. Specifically changing the record source of a subform and refreshing it.
The problem I have is that when the value of the unbound text box is control is changed (I am using a button to change the value as a test) the after update event on the text box does not do anything.
I did a simple test using a button to change the value in the text box and in the afterupdate event of the text box asked it to output the value of the textbox to a message box as shown below.
The problem is this does not work, nothing happens. If I tab out of the text box or change the value with the keyboard however the msgbox appears. Just not via a vba change.
Code: Private Sub Prod_ID_AfterUpdate() Dim pid As String pid = Me.Prod_ID MsgBox pid End Sub Private Sub Button_Test_Click() Me.Prod_ID.SetFocus Me.Prod_ID = "TEST" End Sub
I have access table that stores details as attached. Just to give an example how data is stored , I copied data from Access table to excelsheet. Now I would like to create a report that will run when a button is clicked on the form and the vba code should display the last 7 dates from todays dates in the report along with all the data and colour the record Green,Amber and Red depending upon the Update Date and Target Date. If the Target date exceeds then that records should be coloured "Red" and if todays date equals to Date then the record should be amber and if greater than Date but less than Target Date then it should be Green.
So the report should display the last 7 dates records from todays date and the appropriate color of each record to let everyone know if its under target, meets target etc.
I want to be able to print preview a report based on 1 record record selected in the subform. So using the example above i'd like to print the record on say 01/01/13 as a report that contains all the information from the item table and only the information on the 01/01/13 from the record table.
Trying to make this code work, don't know how to filter as it prints identical all reports.
Private Sub cmdExportPDF_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim MyPath As String MyPath = "C:Reports" If Len(Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory)) < 1 Then MkDir (MyPath)
I have a form that when a user fills out the information and select a submit button. It brings up that record in reports in print preview for them to print. The issue i am having when the user enter the information, the report does not show any data until i refresh it. I tried include me.refresh,etc. No luck. I attached the code to make things simpler.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me.Dirty Then If MsgBox("Do you want to Submit this Contract Form? Clicking No will DELETE ALL ENTERIES,and Log You Off", vbYesNo, "CONTRACT FORM") = vbNo Then Me.Undo Cancel = True Else If MsgBox("PRINT FORM", vbOKOnly, "CONTRACT PRINT") = vbOK Then DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_Contracts_Main", acViewReport, , "[CONTRACT_ID]=" & Me!CONTRACT_ID End If End If End If End Sub
The reports comes up, but i have to manually refresh it to show the data that was enter.
I have a piece of code that I'm using to display an image on a report based on a path saved to each record. the code is:
Code: Option Compare Database Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If IsNull(Me.ImagePath) Then Me.ImgPic.Picture = "O:BellinghamIntranetProductionLabelsNo Label.bmp" Else Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath End If End Sub
It seems like every few months the code crashes access and then never works again. When I debug, the part that is highlighted is:
Code: Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath
The only way i've found to correct it is to delete the report and the module and copy them back in from a backup database. What could be causing this code to crash or how to stabalize my database to prevent this from happening again.
I have VBA code for a Print Preview button on the main form that previews the current record in a separate Report using this code:
Code: Private Sub cmdPrintRecord_Click() Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False End If
[code]....
I use this Print Preview code on a Button in the Form Header. The Main form lists head of household information. I also have a tabbed control with three tabs that have SubForms for Address, Children and Contact details. The problem I have is that if any of the subforms are left blank I get a Run-Time Error '3021': No Current Record. If I Debug (press the button), it takes me straight to this line:
highlighted in Yellow.Anyone on my database must have an address, should have contact details and could have children. If any one of these is blank then the print preview will not work.I would like to know how to stop this error happening for blank records in my subforms.
I have a table that is a list of all of my events. Each record of events should have a child table that list all of the things that happened at the event. When a new record (event) is added how can I have a new child table created and linked to that record. Also I have a blank table to serve as a template for what each child should look like. How do I make sure this occurs? The child tables can have the same name as the index. I am just using numbers 1- for the index with 1 being the first event and so on?
I'm trying to make an Attendance Report for my students. I want the report to show each student and how many times they've been "Present", "Late" or "Tardy" in a month and in one year.
I've set up my db with two tables.
Table 1 - contains Student ID and Student Names Table 2 - contains Attendance ID, course id, student id and the Status ("Present", "Late" or "Absent")
I used the sum queries and it doesn't do the count function properly. This is a copy of my query.
I have a single table that has 20 columns. 19 columns (1 for each question) have cells with 1 of 6 distinct values, "SA", "A", "N", "D", "SD", or "DK". The 20th column has a value that identifies that records source. I am trying to create a report that would prompt an individual for the records source, and then once entered, calculate the number of individuals that answered that particular question with one of the six distinct values. It should also calculate what percentage of individuals specificied that distinct answer for that question.
I thought I would just create a query that prompted the user for the record source id and perform the necessary count functions for my particular arguments. However, I get an error saying the query is too complex.
I also tried using DCount directly in the report with the table as the source, but I got an error and none of the totals added up right.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. If I am unclear in what is going on, I would be happy to post clarification. Thank you for your time.
This qry pulls from multiple tables to create a job ticket for the technician/installer. I will not list all the tables because I have narrowed down my problem to two specific ones. These two tables:
tblBusinessCustomer tblBillingInfo
Have a one to many relationship, due to a single customer could have multiple billing notes, this is how the tables are structured:
I have a one to many relationship using the CustomerID field from tblBusinessCustomer to tblBillingInfo. When I run the report I have a field for billing notes. So what happens is that when I run the report (using the qryJobTicket as a filter) the report will have as many iterations as there are Notes. So for example:
CustomerID: 1 BillingNotesDate: 1/1/12 BillingNotes: (some form of gibberish) BillingNotesDate: 1/2/12 billingNotes: (different gibberish)
so the report will run twice, one for each "line" of notes. I have tried using a form of the Dmax function as a filter in the qry so that I would only grab the most recent date from the BillingNotesDate field, thus only running a report and grabbing the most recent info.The problem is that I have inherited trying to clean up this database, and I added the BillingNotesDate field, since before they were running a constant "log" in the notes field:
1/1/12 Customer changed Name to ABC company, 1/2/12 Customer was notifited of late payment, 1/3/12....and on and on.SO there are NULL values in the BillingNotesDate field for all of the OLD data. And instead of trying to clean that up right away, I was trying to use the Dmax function to give me the most recent date, but the ones that had no date at all (NULL) it would not pull that record. I am trying to use the DMax function on a Date Field with Null values
I am trying to see if the following is possible. I have created a form in my database that tracks how many thank you letters I have sent out with a "check for yes" box.
On records where there is no check I want to create a button beside that says "Print Thank You Letter". It would then generate a form based on that certain customer's information.
Is there a way for me to do this? Also, will the report automatically generate that person's information found in the record?
Only 1 field between INV, MSP and SMS in any record will be >0 What I need to do is that if the value in these 3 fields are > then populate TRIGGER with the correct name
