MsgBox After Form_Current
Aug 13, 2005
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?
Thanks in advance for your help! :cool:

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.
Cheers

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?

Im want to create a msgbox that pops up when a parameter is entered wrong.
Ive created a query to search for customers - When run a box pops up saying 'Please enter surname' - If correct then a record appears.
If the surname is incorrect i get a blank table. I want a msgbox to pop up saying something like 'No Records Found. Please Try Again'.
Ive also created a button on a form which runs the query, this works fine:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command0_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Customer Search"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
Exit_Command0_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command0_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command0_Click
End Sub
How can i change this so a msgbox appears if nothing is found?
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance... :)

In MS Access,
MsgBox "Are you sure", vbOKCancel
and there is OK , and Cancel buttons.
I want to do that if click "OK", then run the action, if click "Cancel", then cancel the action.
eg.
MsgBox "Are you sure", vbYesNo
If (vbYesNo = 1) Then
// run the action
End If
So, how do I edit it?
Thanks.

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
Any ideas how I stop this happening. Thanks.

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
Thanx in advance

I have a select query to search for a client. A box pops up and you enter the name, if the name is there, then that record is displayed.
Now if i enter a name that isnt there, then i get a blank table - which is fair enough.
I want to create a msgbox that pops up to let a user know the name they typed isnt in the db.
For example, "This Client Doesn't Exist - Please Try Again..".
How do i do that? :confused:

I have a form which has different account numbers and a percentage is alotted to each account number. Trying to create an unbound calculation that if it exceeds 100% a message comes up. My current code is :
If (Me.PercentTotal > 100) Then
MsgBox "The total percentage cannot exceed 100%", vbCritical, "Check You Numbers"
End If
Can't seem to get this to fire.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hope you guys may be able to help
I have a form with a sub form. On the sub form I have #Ordered, #Supplied & #Used. These fields calculate to give the user the # in stock. This figure is displayed on the form. On the form I also have the Reorder level which is set by the user.
I would like to be able to make a message alert pop up when the database is opened or when any of these records show the # in stock is lower than the Reorder level, ensuring that we do not run out of stock.
Many thanks for any help you can give.

I have 3 text boxes on my form, which data is inputed to and then on a click of a button, is transfered back to by table to store this data.
problem is that the user entering the data keep putting in the wrong figures in, by this i mean instead of inputting 12345 they often put in 1234 abd leave the 5 offobviously giving us a duff figure.
i want to have a meassage box to appear to ask the question if the figures are majorly different.
my 3 boxes are called:
[impressions(a)]
[StdPack(b)]
[Output(c)]
i need help with the following statement please:
logic
if the stdpack(a) is more than or less than 6000 [impressions(a)]
msg to appear
"the standard pack is considerably different to the impressions, is this correct"
yes/no, if no get focus on [StdPack(b)]
logic
or if the [Output(c)] is more than or less than 6000 [impressions(a)] or [StdPack(b)]
msg to appear
"the [Output(c)] is considerably different to the [impressions(a)] or [stdPack(b)], is this correct"
yes/no, if no get focus on [StdPack(b)]
if yes to either msg box continue as normal
i need all this to be run on the lost focus of [Output(c)]

Hello friends,
I have a form which I use to run an append query. The criteria used to run this query is the SSN field on the form.
This field has 13 characters and the following format:
000-00-0000Ab
I need a msgbox to pop up when the SSN field is not of the following format 000-00-0000A meaning that if it contains any letter after the ssn that is not A then the msg box should pop up.
Is there a way to do this? Appreciate your help.
