MsgBox Appear After Form Loads?

i have a form which I have set so that it opens a blank record once opened. After it has been opened I want a msgbox to appear. my code so far is:
---------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec

Select Case MsgBox("Please select the Registration Number from the drop down menu or type it in", vbOKOnly, "Select Registration Number")

Child Form Loads Before Parent?

Jan 26, 2006

Hi,

I've got a parent/sub-form set up, both of which derive their data from linked tables connecting to a central database. As a result I've had to add coding to the NewRecord events to fetch the next primary keys from the database.

Unfortunately I'm finding that one loading the new record, the child form seems to be loading before the parent, ie the child form_Current event occurs before the parent form_Current event. Is this how it should be? It seems intuitive that the parent should load first.

I'm sure I can develop some cunning logic to get around this problem but I'm sure there must be a better way. Has anyone any experience of this parent/child set-up with linked, central database tables?

thanks!

Dave

Open Web Page When Form Loads

Jun 8, 2006

I have a form that displays data based on a simple query. The query asks for a PO number (from the query) and then displays the data. I wish to open a web page after the PO number is put in. What is the vb code to do so and is it on the onLoad or onOpen portion of the form?

Also, the web address needs that PO number. So, the web address would be: http://www.mydomain.com?PO=PONumber where PONumber is what was entered into the text box that was prompted by the query. Any ideas on where to start on this one? Thanks!

Controlling Scroll Position When A Form Loads

Oct 20, 2004

I have been trying to make forms open scrolled to the top and have had very little success.

I found a function on the following site http://www.lebans.com/SelectRow.htm that works great as demonstrated and when I attach the following code to a text box the form scrolls to the top.

Private Sub Text98_Click()
Dim lngret As Long
lngret = fSetScrollBarPos(Me, 1)
DoEvents
End Sub

What I am trying to do is have the form scroll when it opens but by attaching the above code to the form's on_open event there is no effect.

What am I doing wrong.

Any ideas

Un-enable Buttons On Subform When Main Form Loads

Jun 19, 2006

I did a search in the form forum and couldn't find anything close that had a response.

I have a parent form and a sub form.

I have the parent set up to make the enable property false for the command buttons that aren't appropriate when you first open the form: Like Save and Undo.

I want to do the same for the child form, which has different data linked to the parent form.

The parent form always grays out the inappropriate boxes.

The subform will gray them out only if I open it as a stand-alone form. When I put the code in the Open, or Load or Gotfocus events I get an error message that it cannot locate the subform.

Any ideas where to go?

Thanks-

Modules & VBA :: Switch From Form To Report As Soon As Database Loads?

Mar 21, 2014

I have VBA code that switches a form to a report that works with buttons but refuses to work when first loading up the database.

Ideally I want the database to open , with a control form set as the default load form, and then this immediately loads a report, which it does, but it doesn't ever switch to it?

I use as standard: DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_here", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal

And now I've tried:

Application.DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, "rpt_Embroidery_Screen"

Which will both run and work fine using buttons but not on initial database/form load.

Using Access 2010.

Forms :: Command Button Outline When Form Loads

Dec 5, 2013

I have a couple of command buttons on a form. They have embedded bitmaps as pictures with a caption below. For some reason when the forms loads (and also in design view), there is a narrow white outline / border around them. As if the button is drawn on a slightly larger white square?This border disappears as soon as I hover over the button (in form view) or click on the button (in design view).

Modules & VBA :: Show The First Primary Key Field In The Combobox When The Form Loads?

Aug 30, 2013

I'm using a combobox to select a record based off my primary key field, and then a separate button to print that particular record.

When the form loads, it has the first record selected but the combobox is empty so that if I press my button it will still print the first record.

when I press the combobox my list of entrys in the primary key field shows up and the combobox is no longer blank.

How do I show the first primary key field in the combobox when the form loads?

Forms :: Splash Screen While Other Form Loads In Background On Startup

Jan 4, 2014

I have on very large form in my db that takes several seconds to load. I want to optimize things, so I am trying to have it load hidden in the background when the db first starts up, this way it can be immediately called on when it is needed later. Please read further :

I want to have a splash screen that loads as well. I have set the splash screen to the default form when the database opens. However, I am not quite sure how to get the other form to load in the background as hidden, AFTER the splash screen opens and appears. I tried calling it with the oncurrent event of the splash screen, but then splash screen wont appear until after the other (hidden) form has finished loading. I have tried different orders of events, but am having no luck getting the desired results.

Summary: I want the splash screen to show first, then the big form to open (hidden) in the background. The user can click on a continue button on the splash screen and then the main switchboard will open.

MsgBox To Show In The Middle Of The Form

Dec 30, 2006

Hi,

I have a Form that is modal and popup, and which opens without the MS Access in the background. It is like a separate window (piece of program) that runs under Windows XP.

If I move the Form on my screens (I have dual monitors) I would like that the messages that are triggered by various actions to appear on top of the form not - for example - on the other screen .

I can add more info if necessary.

Thanks for help.

Code To Open Form Using Msgbox

Mar 28, 2007

Hello,

My database has two main tables: Table1 and History

Users can add data to this table and decide if store part of data into the History table using an append query behind a cmdbutton. I do this to create an Historical Log of my records.

I then have a main form (form1) with the following code on the OnCurrent event:


If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbOKOnly, "Warning"
end if


I would now like to change this code so that users are prompt with a message that allows them to either open the form1 or the Historical log (frmHistory)

I would need something like this but cannot get it to work:

If Not IsNull(DLookup("[SSN]", "history", "[SSN] = '" & [SSN] & "'")) Then
msgbox "Record present in the Historical Log!", vbYesNo, "Warning"
If vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmHistory", acNormal, "qryhistoryfrommsgbox", "", , acNormal

If vbNo Then '
'open the regular form1.


Another thing I cannot figure is why this pop up msg comes up even if I close the form. Is there a way to revome it from the close form event?

Thanks.

If No Matches Reopen Form After Msgbox

Jul 18, 2012

I currently have an unbound form I am using as a switchboard. When a button is pressed it loads a form asking for the user to enter their password (the swtichboard is then closed). If the correct password is entered the form opens to their details, when that form is closed, the swtichboard re-opens. I want an action that if the correct password is not used, then a msgbox lets them know and then the Switchboard they were at re-opens. So far I have the following code:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "Incorrect Password!"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

This works well, but I am unsure how to write that after the msgbox I want the Switchboard to open. I tried to add "DoCmd.OpenForm frmSwitchMain" in various places, but I am unsure on the proper procedure to do this.

Adding A Msgbox To A Search Form - Easy Peasy Except For Me :)

Sep 11, 2005

I have a code for a free text search form which will return records in another window when the search button is clicked.


CODE
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()

If Len(cboSearchField) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchField) = True Then
MsgBox "You must select a field to search."

ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "You must enter a search string."

Else
'Generate search criteria
GCriteria = cboSearchField.Value & " LIKE '*" & txtSearchString & "*'"

'Filter frmRhinitis based on search criteria
Form_frmRhinitis.RecordSource = "select * from tblBaseline where " & GCriteria
Form_frmRhinitis.Caption = "Customers (" & cboSearchField.Value & " contains '*" & txtSearchString & "*')"

MsgBox "Results have been filtered."


End If

End Sub





However, even if no records match the criteria the window will return a "Results have been filtered" but return a blank form. How do I include code that will return a "Match cannot be found" MsgBox if the search string isnt found?


Thanks :)

Modules & VBA :: Bring Up Msgbox If Certain Fields Blank And Not Run The Macro In Form

I have a form with various text, date and combo controls. There is a button at the button that runs a macro (Close NB) at the bottom.

Embedding Loads Of Photos

Jan 26, 2007

I am wondering if it is possible to embed all of the photos that I have into my photo table automatically. I have the table set up with all of the data that needs to be there but I have over 1500 photos that need to be embedded and wanted to save myself some time and automate the process somehow. I already know that embedding these photos is going to make my database huge but that isn't an issue for this particular project.

As far as I can tell from this forum, the help and the Northwind database this isn't possible without manually going through every photo but I am pretty new to Access so thought I would throw the question out there.

Thanks

Forms :: Filters Are Not Remembered Between Loads

Apr 19, 2015

I have a search form which suddenly stopped remembering filters between loads. I managed to accidentally replicate the behaviour on a second database where I knew the filters worked - in this case the code was

Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Filter = "(False)"
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub

Turns out that simply commenting out then uncommenting this section (while the form was open) was enough to break it. Filtering still works, but the form's filter property is forgotten when it unloads, and the only way to change it permanently is in Design View.

So I made a very simple test db with a filtered form, started faffing around with the code while it was open, and lo and behold the filters have stopped working. But I've compared the functional and non-functional versions and I can't for the life of me see what's been changed. I suspect I've run into some kind of bug (not that I should be fiddling with code while in form view anyway) but what can I do to revert it?

It turns out that I can force the filter to be saved by hitting Ctrl+S before I exit the form. Still no clue as to why v1 mysteriously works and v2 mysteriously doesn't. In the meantime, can I replicate Ctrl+S in VBA? I tried DoCmd.Save acForm "FormName", but no luck there.
