Hi Everyone,
I have a message box that says "Backup complete" but it has an Ok button. Is there a way for the user to see the message and then close without hitting the ok button?
here's my code
MsgBox "Backup was successful and saved", vbInformation, "Backup Completed"
Thank you
I’m really stuck on how to create: Check Boxes/Option button/Option Group in VBA.
Could someone help on either all of them or some of them please?
Thanks

I am using an Access database for a foreign language dictionary project.
One of the forms I use is populated by a query (qryLemmaTable) to retrieve information from tblLEMMA.
This form works precisely as I intend it to work, but there is a glitch on it that is driving me mad.
The form in question has an option group with 11 radio buttons that correspond to the parts of speech associated with each word in tblLEMMA.
When I click on the button optAdjective I apply a filter and the only records that are displayed are adjectives. (The same applies for Nouns, Verbs, Prepositions etc.)
Here is the glitch: even though the radio buttons apply the filter correctly, no “black spot” appears in the button. Other signals on the screen let me know what word type is selected, so I can accomplish what I want, but I want the “black spots” too!
Perhaps this will be a clue: For each radio button I use the following code in the GotFocus event.
Me.FilterOn = False
Me.Filter = "wordtype = 'A'" ‘(or N, etc)
Me.FilterOn = True
And this for the Lost Focus event
Me.FilterOn = False
Thanks for the help.
Hi
I've got an Option Group with 3 options; Yes, No and Future.
I also have a range of Check Boxes; 1 for every day of the week.
When one of the check boxes is selected I want the Option Group to change to Yes.
Currently, the Option Group defaults to Future and No will only be available by manually selecting it. This doesn't need to be changed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
I stumbled upon the Option Group function just yesterday and, happy as a clam, I created a group with 2 options in radio button style. I assigned the values to a field called Registration_Type as the 2 options are "Confirmed Registrants" and "Prospective Attendees".
[Great. That part works well. When I look at the table, a 1 or a 2 is in that field so it's great to know how to control accidental ticking of radio buttons (previous 450 records or so didn't have this option group functionality so one might easily tick one of the buttons. So one part of controlling option group I know I can handle via the table itself for now.]
The challenge is how to ensure the user always ticks one or the other ... I went back to the main table and tested the 'required entry' option for the Registration_Type field but forcing an action like this is not ideal in my mind. The usual error message vagueness for the average user is no good and I don't want to limit the user so much.
Is there a way to simply have a popup come up warning that neither radio button was ticked? Perhaps something linked to the form - i.e., maybe "after update"?? I only learned about attaching code to before and after update on controls a couple of days ago, so not sure if this would be best approach.
Just something to let the user know that nothing has been ticked in the option group as that controls in which of 2 reports the data will show up in so any record not ticked might mean a registrant being left out, which would be rather disastrous <g>.
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
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.
hi all
i have an event procedure with a msgbox using vbOKCancel.

I appreciate any help

Code:If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to update this?" + "THIS:", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, _ "Save Record") = vbNo Then MsgBox "DOING NOTHING" Else MsgBox "DOING SOMETHING" End If
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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHi, 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 just wanted to ask how to change the msgbox style, for example, put a Critical or Information picture on the side of the message box
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:
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:
Good morning,
This should be simple but I just can't get it to work.
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.

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.
