This seems like a dumb question but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do it.
I want to display a message box when a form is opened and displayed based on some test done in the Form_Current Event. However all the code in the Form_Current event is fired off before the form is displayed. But I want the form to be displayed first.
The MsgBox is modal so the form isn't displayed until I click the OK Button on the msgbox.
How can I display the form first and then display the MsgBox?
Is it possible to delay the Form_Current event? I use the code below to duplicate records, ask for a change in teh reference number and then resort the database according to the reference numbers. This works fine until I introduce some code into a Form_Current procedure. Now whenever I activate the macro below to copy a record the data in the copy record is wiped out and the form rendered with its defaul values. I am assuming this is because the code in the Form_Current section is rendering the form whilst something else is trying to paste values in it so is ther a way to delay either the pasting of the new data or the activation of the Form_Current procedure?
I have tried using a few basic counters but to no avail! Any help would be greatly appreciatted.
I am a little confused as to when exactly the forms_current event is called. I have a form with a text box called Last_Name, bound to the "Last Name" field in the form's table. I have the following code in the FormsCurrent event: Dim test1, test2 As String test1 = Me.recordset.Fields.item("Last Name").Value test2 = Me.Last_Name.Value
Why is it that when I move from record to record in the form, when this event is called test2 contains the name in the current record, but test1 contains the name in the previous record?
Could anyone please tell me what is wrong with this event procedure? I get an compile error always. What I want is, if the condition is not met, the message box would pop up otherwise close the form. Please help.
Private Sub (Field Name)_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If (Me.MyFieldName = condition) Then MsgBox "My Message" End If Else DoCmd.Close End Sub
i have an event procedure with a msgbox using vbOKCancel. if the user clicks cancel, basically i want to cancel the event. If the user clicks OK, I want to resume the event and complete the bunch of commands. What statements do I need to do this. I assumed that cancel meant cancel.... but...
I am trying to popup a messge box that has multiple lines.

I've included the following code for when my report has no data.
Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer) MsgBox "No data for report" Cancel = True End Sub
but when you click OK on the MsgBox, the code falls over within the form, which originally opened the report on the calling line with an error message "The OpenReport action was cancelled".
This is the line of code in the form.... DoCmd.OpenReport "My report", acViewPreview, acEdit
Hi, I have a formcalled Register and this table contains Name-of-Employee, Username and some other fields. The form searches the Register table when someone wants the register, and if the username is already taken up by another user, it gives a message box saying that the username is already used, and also it will give some suggestions as well. I want the MsgBox to take the first letter of "Name of Employee" and then put it beside the username, and show it as a suggestion. Here is the code I already have: Dim d As Database Set d = CurrentDb Dim r As Recordset Set r = d.OpenRecordset("Staff Login")
Dim h As String h = Me.Username
r.MoveFirst Dim flag As Boolean flag = False Do While Not r.EOF If h = r![Username] Then flag = True End If r.MoveNext Loop
If flag = True Then MsgBox ("This Username already exists" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Here are some suggestions:" & vbNewLine & (Me.Name_of_Employee) & (Me.Username) & vbNewLine & (Me.Username) & (Me.Name_of_Employee)) End If
The code works perfectly up to here, but the thing is that I want it to show the first letter of "Name of Employee" beside the "User Name" and maybe the other way around.
Please help me as soon as possible, I am really in a great hurry

Thank you.", vbYesNo, "Validation")If Box = vbYes Then Cancel = FalseElseCancel = TrueEnd IfEnd SubThat's my code, but I get an error after I type something in that field (BoI)."Compile error: Else without If" I have tried it with 'ElseIf Box = vbNo Then Cancel = True' but that also gives the same error.What's wrong with it?Thanks in advance. :D
Hi, I'm a little confused here. I'm using the following on one DAP and it works just fine. When I add it to another page, it does not work. Any ideas?
