MsgBox Does Not Display Properly
Oct 8, 2006
I had a look on Microsoft Support and found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242889/en-us but I don't understand what it's saying.
Basically, I am trying to get the message formatted as it suggests in the help file (Access 2002) i.e. first line bold, second line normal, third line normal and paragraph space, by using the @ symbol. However, it is not recognising this as a format command, just plain text.
MsgBox shows:
Please enter a date range.@Hint: to show all records use a date like 1/1/1990.
instead of:
Please enter a date range.
Hint: to show all records use a date like 1/1/1990.
The MS Support file above seems to suggest that this is simply no longer available in later versions of Access, and offers two work-arounds. However, I have no clue about the second one because I'm not really into programming, and the first one seems to suggest exactly what I am currently doing.
Can anyone help me step through what I am doing wrong? Or is it just a case that I would have to use the code? (In which case could someone help me set it up?)
Thanks.

I have a memo field with RTF that shows properly on forms. For example
"<strong>"&"my text: "&"</strong>"&"more text" displays my text: more text
However, on my report it looks like the characters (e.g., "<strong>"&"my text: "&"</strong>"&"more text").
The report control is RTF format. why it doesn't display as I'd like?

This may not be the proper forum, but I don't know where else to put the question. Table1 is a mysql table with a memo field which is set up in a form as a rich text field. I can copy and paste lines from an email and they display properly. Viewing that field in the underlying table they have <br />, etc.
Table2 is another mysql table, containing a memo field in plain text. I need to append the records in table2 to table1. The memo field gets appended as one long run-on sentence with no LF/Cr or <br />. How can I programatically convert the plain text to rich text either before, during or after the append?

Hi,
Anyone of you have idea how I can make my texts bold or colorful or place smilies while displaying the msgbox ?
I don't know if there is a way to do this. But if there is, it would make a diferent look.
With kind regards,

I have a form (MS Access 2003) that has a button that when pressed, assigns the current time to field [Time1] using
Code:
Me.Time1 = Now()
I have another field [Time2] that adds 15 minutes to [Time1] using the following in the Control Source field
Code:
=DateAdd("n",15,[Time1])
I was wanting to use these to force a message box when the system time reached Time2 and tried the following code on the Form ON TIMER event (Interval at 1000 ms) but it does not work.
Code:
If Time() > Me.Time2 then
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if
I tried putting in a manual time in the VBA such as:
Code:
If Time() > #2:05:00 PM#
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if
which worked. So, I am guessing there is something with my orignal code using Me.Time2 that is causing the problem.

Need help and advice desperately,
I am trying to update about 10 tables each time a visitor visits my site..
however there are often missing counts, meaning the total data in each table are not the same frequently They are supposed to be since all the tables get updated each time.
Im using MS Access 2003.
What could be the problem?
Below is an example of one of the function that updates one of the tables in my DB.
************************************************** *****
function GetIdRes(sName)
'Get ResID
sUserID = Request("UserID")
sSQL = "SELECT ResID, ResName, Total, UserID FROM Resolutions WHERE UserID = '"&sUserID&"' AND ResName = '" & sName & "'"
rs.Open sSQL,,,adCmdTable
if rs.eof then
rs.AddNew
rs("ResName") = sName
rs("Total") = 0
rs("UserID") = sUserID
end if
rs("Total") = rs("Total") + 1
rs.update
GetIdRes = rs("ResID")
rs.close
end function
************************************************** ****
I've got another 10 similar tables. The Column "Total" is often different among the tables.
Please kindly advise...
Thanks

I can't figure out what I have wrong in my code. I've searched all over the forums and the help files in Access. I'm sure it's something simple. Could someone please take a look?
=DSum([DefectQty],"d_sub1_DefectReport","CodeID= "" & [tblDefectCodes].[CodeID] & "" AND ""[InspectDate] >= #" & [Forms]![frmDefectDetailReport]![txtStartDate] & "#" And "[InspectDate] <= #" & [Forms]![frmDefectDetailReport]![txtEndDate] & "#")
I'm trying to get a sum of all defect quantities between a date range from a user form. Rather than summing all the defect quantities for a defect code, it's summing up the total quantites for each quantity. I'm sure that doesn't make sense so here's an example:
InspectDate CodeID DefectQty DSum Should Be
6/1/06 100 1 3 5
6/2/06 100 2 4 5
6/3/06 105 1 3 1
6/4/06 103 1 3 1
6/5/06 100 2 4 5
The domain is a query because the dates come from a different table than the defect quantities, so the query is pulling all the relevant data to be summed.

Hey everyone
This issue is holding me back now on 2 areas of my project :(
I need to know correctly how to reference a subform in a query.
Can someone please give me a working example for this:
main form: training courses
sub form control: course_dates subform control
sub form: course_dates subform
text box: course_date
I have tried:
[forms]![training courses]![course_dates subform control]![course_dates subform]![course date]
in the criteria box, but every time the query runs i get a parameter box "forms!training courses!course_dates subform control!course_dates subform!course date" asking for the info.
Seriously I am totally stuck on this and i think all i need is one perfect example... please help!!!

Hi.
I am running a form on top of a query with around 1500 records in it. The query mostly uses tables that are joined with referential integrity.
The form has buttons and conditional formatting.
It was fine until today, when suddenly the form has stopped loading properly. It looks all fragmented on the screen and I have to scroll down and scroll back up again for it to look right.
I have searched everywhere to find out what is causing this and how it can be fixed, but no luck yet. Can you help?
Thanks.

Dear Access Mates:
Code:
=NZ(DCount("[DEGREE]","JUNE2005ALL","[DEGREE]='MSED' AND 'MS' AND [DEPARTMENT]='EDUCATION' "),0)
This statement is in an unbound text box but it does not return the proper total. It is counting only the "MSED's" and not "MS's".
This information is from a table.
Is the above syntax correct?
Many thanks to all.
Regards,
Dee

Hi All,
I have Header form and subform subform in it with following fields
Subform fields are :
1. MQE_No : (Text field as it will be like MG-120, MG230), Duplicate OK)
2. RPO_No : (Number field – Double, Duplicate OK ) The are project no.
3. ForemanNo (Number field – Long Int – Duplicate OK)
Header form fields are ;
1.ForemanNo – Long Int – No Duplicate
2.Other fields…
The subform field have ForemanNo One-To-many relationship with Header form.
Following project MG-411 need to enter (assign) to foreman no. 641
Actual data to store in subform
MG-411 (MQE_NO)
5421654 (RPO_NO)
641 (FOREMANNO)
I started to enter data into subform selecting the ForemanNo at header so records to enter in specific foremans account. Everything is fine here.
What I need is:
I would like to select / add another Foreman into the header and start entering same above data for another Foreman. Bcz sometimes we need to do like this in case previous Foreman may go on to a week vacation. We can not stop project for a week. So need to assign project to other foreman.
When selected the Project (MG-411) thru a combo to assign it with other foreman, it should give a short msg to user that this project has already been assigned to “XYZ” forman. Need to assign again “ (Y/N box )
If Y then data entered otherwise cancelled.
To achieve this, I did the following but only 50% success. (Used Cmbo CboRPO2 select MQE_NO). Tried to satisfy both condition but no use.
Private Sub CboRPO_AfterUpdate()
If DCount("*", "T_RPO_Footer", "RPO_No = " & RPO_No) > 0 And DCount("*", "T_RPO_Footer", "ENO = " & ENO) Then
MsgBox "RPO ALREADY ASSIGNED TO SOMEONE / FOREMAN", vbOKCancel, "WARNING!!!"
Me.Undo
Exit Sub
Else
Dim Msg, STYLE, TITLE, HELP, CTXT, Response, MYSTRING
If DCount("*", "T_RPO_Footer", "RPO_No = " & RPO_No) > 0 And DCount("*", "T_RPO_Footer", "ENO <> " & ENO) Then
Msg = "RPO ALREADY EXIST WITH OTHERFOREMAN, ASSIGN AGAIN TO ANOTHER ?"
STYLE = vbYesNo + vbInformation + vbDefaultButton2
TITLE = "!! ATTENTION !!"
HELP = "TEST FILE"
CTXT = 1000
Response = MsgBox(Msg, STYLE, TITLE, HELP, CTXT)
If Response = vbYes Then
Me.MQE_NO = Me.CboRPO.Column(0)
Me.RPO_No = Me.CboRPO.Column(1)
Me.WORKSHEET_NO = Me.CboRPO.Column(2)
Me.WORKORDER_NO = Me.CboRPO.Column(3)
Me.WORK_DESC = Me.CboRPO.Column(4)
Me.PL = Me.CboRPO.Column(5)
Me.PipeLineKM = Me.CboRPO.Column(6)
Me.DiaMeter = Me.CboRPO.Column(7)
Me.PipeLength = Me.CboRPO.Column(8)
Me.PipeLineArea = Me.CboRPO.Column(9)
Me.P = Me.CboRPO.Column(10)
Me.RPO_AMOUNT = Me.CboRPO.Column(12)
Me.INV_AMOUNT = Me.CboRPO.Column(13)
Me.Status = "WIP"
Me.StatusID = 2
Me.CboStatus.SetFocus
Else
Me.Undo
Exit Sub
End If
Else
Me.MQE_NO = Me.CboRPO.Column(0)

I tried with following code also
'Dim cdn As String
'cdn = "[MQE_NO] = '" & Nz(CboRPO, "") & "'"
'cdn = cdn & " And ENO = " & ENO
'If DCount("*", "T_RPO_Footer", cdn) > 0 Then
'MsgBox "THIS RPO ALREADY ASSIGNED TO THIS FOREMAN", vbOKOnly, "WARNING!!!"
'Me.Undo
'Exit Sub
'Else
‘do something
‘End if
Can somebody help it please.

Hey all, I have a strange problem that I can't seem to find the solution for...
At my work we have a number of computers running W2k with Office 97.
We daily have to import excel spreadsheets into Access.
This is never usually a problem as obviously as soon as you click import the import spreadsheet wizard appears.
But on one particular machine it doesn't.
Basically on this computer Access will import the excel file, but won't bring up the wizard that lets you say what to import, whether the first row contains a header, the data type for each field etc, it just asks you to select what sheet you want, then imports it, no options.
Now the ironic thing is that usually this is not a problem as the file is still imported without any problems, but the other day we had a file that once imported was all messed up, all fields all over the place.
When done again on a different computer there were no problems so I'm assuming that this peculiar way of importing is to blame for messing up the data.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this? I have tried dragging the accwiz.dll over the regsvr32.exe and it says it's registered successfully, and I have checked that it is the correct version number, what am I missing?
It would make more sense if it just didn't import, then you could better understand how to fix it, but it's the fact that it does import, just not in the 'usual' way that bothers me. How can I make it bring up the proper import spreadsheet wizard?
Kind Regards

I'm using access 2003 sp2 with all the current updates. I've got several tables linked to a sql server 2000 DB. We use it for an app called Altiris. Most of the queries i've written from these various tables work fine. However, a couple of them for no apparent reason, do not display the correct data in the data sheet view when the query is ran.
for example, I have a simple query with two tables linked. The first field is asking for the "name" column of one of the tables. In the criteria of that column, I put something in to limit the names of the programs i'm looking for. Lets say I use LIKE '%adobe acrobat 7.0%' When I run the query, it returns a certain number of records, but in the name column, it has all wrong info. I just ran it and it came up with 4 records: "webcast....", "abacast client", "Ibm websphere", and something else. Nothing even close to "adobe...."
So then I export the query to an excel spreadsheet and then open. Guess what? It has the correct info. Four records of adobe acrobat. The other column I have is from the other table and is just listing pc names. They displayed properly in both datasheet and excel file.
does anyone have any ideas what could cause this? I've deleted the table and linked to it several times. I've used this table for many other queries and it works most of the time. I just have no idea what is causing it to do this for only a few queries.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I'm working in Access 97 and I've got a form that I want to use to create filters with.
There are a couple of things that I'm not clear about and I'd appreciate any suggestions that you can make:
1. The form seems to remember the last filter, so when I click on the Filter by form button it shows the last filter by default. I've included the following in the click event:
RunCommand (acCmdRemoveFilterSort)
Me.FilterOn = False
RunCommand (acCmdFilterByForm)
Surely either of the first two statements should remove the filter, shouldn't they? and if not then what are they for?
2. I can't get the 'OR' tabs to show at the bottom of the filter by form screen unless I apply the filter once and then click on the filter by form button again. Is there any way of forcing these tabs to appear?
Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.
Regards,
Bernard D

Hi -
First some background. A few months ago I replicated an Access 2003 database so that folks in various locations could all enter data. There is one master and 3 copies. One of these copies was operating on a computer with Access 2000 and it also happened to be the copy of the database that gave me some headaches (never with the synching) which I am almost positive were related to the version difference.
So, despite those other problems this copy of the database synched up fine throughout the summer. Now all the sudden I have found a few recently entered records in the copy which are not being transferred during synchronization. And from what I have been able to tell so far they seem to be from a particular data entry session on a particular date. I have already looked through the records in question to see if they are missing an important field of data or something and they seem to be complete and legitimate records.
I have tried a number of things and at this point am at a loss as to where to go next. Does anybody have experience with replicated databases and potentially run into this problem before? Any advice on what to look at next to figure out the casue and the fix?
Thanks for any help.... Steph

Hi,
I am trying to multiply £127.65 by 1.175 to produce and store the answer £149.99 in my “answer” field.
I have spent more than a few hours testing different methods, but none so far seem to be suitable.
I used to use the currency data type, however - although the field would show £149.99 – it is stored as £149.98875. So when it comes to adding up each of the “answers”, I am sometimes a penny out because it is adding up the stored number and not the two decimal place answer.
I then changed the data type to “number”, set format to currency, and set the scale and decimal place settings to 2. However this is now not rounding the numbers up correctly and the answer produced is £149.98.
Is there a way I can round up the numbers, and store them as £149.99?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

I have a query where I'm selecting fields from two tables - Students and Attendance. I have selected option 2 in my Join Properties, i.e "Include ALL records from Students and only those from Attendance where the joined fields are equal". The tables are joined by StudentID. Either I'm misinterpreting what the join is supposed to be doing or it's not working.
I need to see every record in Students regardless of whether or not they have a record in Attendance. I need to calculate absences and tardies. If there's a matching record in Attendance, I subtract the date absent from the total days. If there's no matching record in Attendance, I still need to calculate total days and show it. As it is now, if there's no matching record in Attendance, it doesn't do anything. How can I get it to do what the join says, "Show ALL records in Students as well as those that match in Attendance?
Thanks

I run a Query based on some data in a "drop-down" box. It works in just datasheet view, but when I print it on a report, it displays the position that the data is in the drop-down box.
How do I display the data, not the position on the report? Here's an example:
My drop down box contains:
apples
oranges
bananas
My query returns apples, but in the report view it displays the number "1" instead of my data "apples". If the query returned oranges, the report would display "2" instead of "oranges" and so on.
Any ideas?

I have a query which is filtering by date as criteria...but it won't filter right.There is a date field from a table in another query which has date/times in it.I have used Format([Field], "Short Date") in that query to display just the date.I am now doing another query which points to that query (It's a SQL Union query if that matters) and it has the following for the Criteria:Between "6/1/2007" And "6/30/2007"However, it is showing anything in the month of June for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, instead of just 2007. Any ideas why it is doing this? It doesn't make sense to me that it will filter for the month/date but not the year.I also tried changing the format to Format([Field], "mm/dd/yyyy") and criteria of "06/01/2007", etc.

Okay, here's a question that should hopefully be simple. I have a form that I am setting the default value of two text boxes based on the form previous. Here's basically the rundown of what happensfrmForm1Input Month: FebruaryInput Year: 2012OK - Opens frmForm2 and then closes this one---------frmForm2Month_Default_Value: #Name?Year_Default_Value: 2012---------And this always happens for every month and every year. So could you tell me what could possibly be wrong with my "Month" default value? Here's the code...Private Sub Form_Load()Month_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Month]Year_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Year]Me.Month.DefaultValue = Month_QueryMe.Year.DefaultValue = Year_QueryEnd SubThanks!--Mike

I made a form a few years ago using Excel but it has become a major headache for anyone who wants to edit/update the content.
It's my responsibility to figure out how to fix this, but I don't really have any experience in form-creation! I'm not even sure what software to use... I've done some searching, and right now I'm thinking Access might have the tools that I need to help me complete this project (although I have no experience with the software at all right now).
I'm looking for some help on getting started.. so I will describe the project, and hopefully someone can answer a few of my questions.
This form has 3 sections: input, Q&A, and the summary. The input section is handled by the company before presenting the Q&A to a client. In the Q&A portion the client's name, company, and other personal information are pulled from the input section and placed mid-sentence in the questions. This is a personal touch we would like to keep when re-creating the form.
The Q&A portion also includes radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdown lists and input fields where the client can type out their answers sometimes. Here is an example of what the first 2 pages may look like:
PAGE 1: Question 1:
Do you have a clearly defined purpose for your plan?
http://img425.imageshack.us/img425/3589/radio9sx.jpg If YES record the purpose below:
_______________________________________________
http://img425.imageshack.us/img425/3589/radio9sx.jpg If NO, choose a sample purpose from the drop-down box
to help get you started:
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7386/dropdown1vu.jpg
PAGE 2: Question 2:
What selection critera did you use to select your service provider?
http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2890/checked4na.jpg Investment options provided
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5539/unchecked5rr.jpg Cost of service
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5539/unchecked5rr.jpg Support tools proved
http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2890/checked4na.jpg Quality of service
Enter any other reasons below:
_______________________________________________
One page per question.
The SUMMARY page will take client's answers and compact them into something more readable. The answers are listed one after another (no limit per page as with the questions). Also, the answers are to be displayed in sentence format. For example.. if a client checks off 3 items from a 5 item list, those three items should be listed in a sentence separated by commas. Here is an example summarizing the first 2 pages above:
Summary of Answers
1. Do you have a clearly defined purpose for your plan?
A. YES. (description of plan previously entered by client)
2. What selection critera did you use to select your service provider?
A. Investment options provided, and quality of service. Also (other resaons, provided by client)
This demonstrates the type of control that I need over the information. I managed to get Excel to do all these things.. but, like I said it is too complex to edit/update without accidently screwing things up. So lastly and most importantly... the final version of the form needs to be easy to edit!
So... does it look like Access the right program for the job? Maybe there are other programs out there that I should be looking at (something by Adobe maybe?)
But if you think Access can handle the job then do you have any tips to help me along my way? I'm not looking for specific step-by step instructions to help me build this of course.. I will figure most of it out by trial and error. But are there some major things I should be looking out for? Like, do I have to set up a particular kind of database, or use a particular kind of template? Is inserting the client's name mid-sentence a particularly difficult thing to do?
Any help to get started on this is much appreciated. THANKS.
Thanks so much.
art.
