I've created a new database using the standard Switchboard function. However, when I use the Exit Application command the database closes but MS Access stays open. It's a minor problem but infuriating, especially as I've never encountered this problem before and everything I try won't fix it. Any ideas?
View RepliesI have a switchboard with an exit button to exit the application. I want to add an event so it executes when user exit the application from the switchboard.
how to do that.
or how can I access the procdure for the application exit attach the event to
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank you in advance for your help,

Does anyone know the code to exit from THE whole ACCESS program.
That is when I click the close button on the switchoboard, I want the system to close the whole of access program.
If my user uses the MS Access 'X' button (upper right hand of screen) to Exit the application does anyone know what methods are triggered that may let me perform some task before the application actually ends?
Thanks
I'm having an application which is developed in access. It's running quite well, some times when I made changes to forms or reports it hangs for a while and exits without saving, it happens sometimes not always... what could be the problem? how can I rectify this..
View 3 Replies View RelatedHiya,
I have a database which on exit runs calls the following module and backs up the database to anther folder
Public Function BackupCopy()
'This function will allow you to copy a db that is open,
'You must set a reference to the 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' for the CopyFile piece to work!
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim sSourcePath As String

sSourcePath = "C:Database"
sSourceFile = "MyDB.mdb"
sBackupPath = "C:DatabaseBackups"
sBackupFile = "BackupDB_" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & "_" & Format(Time, "hhmmss") & ".mdb"
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
fso.CopyFile sSourcePath & sSourceFile, sBackupPath & sBackupFile, True
Set fso = Nothing
Beep
MsgBox "Backup was successful and saved @ " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupPath & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "The backup file name is " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupFile, vbInformation, "Backup Completed"
End Function
but after backing up correctly it brings me the following error
"Run-time errror '424':

any ideas what might be going wrong

Hi all,
How would i close access via vba after a function runs?
I know how to close a form, but id like to close the entire thing.
Thanks in advance
I have a form that automatically is shown when a user enters the database. I want to disable all exits of this form so that the user cannot exit the form before he/she exits the whole database. How do I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form with 4 tab pages. on the 2 tab page I have a subform that adds records to a table via 2 combo boxes.
I have been able to stop user from leaving a combo control blank or skipping to the next combo control, but if user clicks the Exit command button on the main form, from the 2nd combo control, it prompts that value has to be selected but the gives error:
"You cannot add or change record because a related record is required"
How can I stop this so form will close and undo the 1st combo selection and not give error?
What are the pro's and con's and setting the database to compress on Exit?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy main form has 2 “Continuous Forms” sub forms.
The cycle of the sub forms is set to “All Records”
Is there a way to exit the first sub form and move the focus to the second sub form utilizing only the keyboard? (Like shift + tab, or any custom buttons)
I’m trying to avoid using the mouse
Thank you
I have a form that has a command button on it. When the user clicks the command button I want the form that was up to be exited. I cannot find the correct syntax for this. Please help.

I use a form for data entry. When I hit the next arrow in the navigation button section (the default navigation buttons supplied by access), by data is saved into the relevant table.
When the I press the X on the form my data is also saved. However I'm not given the opportunity to say if I want to quit the form or save the data.
What do I need to set to get this functionality?
Thanks
Hi,
In MS Access, Form
I want to set up that if there is missing value of the fields, then we cannot go to next record or exit the form when we click to do next action.
I tried to add the code in the After update event, or Exit event,
Example Code:
if (isnull([Zip]) or len([zip]) = 0) then
msgbox "missing"
[zip].setforce
end if
when I click to go to next record, or exit the form,
it give out message "missing", it work fines,
but, it still go to next record, or exit the form after the message.
How do I fix it? Thanks.
I am working on adding the function of adding a date to a field on a form On Exit from another field. If the field I am exiting has a value of "No" i want to add the current date and if it is "Yes" I want to make sure the other field is null. I can't seem to find how to do this effectively. Can someone help me here?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all, I have a textbox with an input mask for an id number, so if I begin adding numbers I get an error message if they're not in correct format- this is fine- but I want the user to be able to cancel the entry and exit the form, but when I click the cancel button I get an error message about the id format- anyone know how I can allow cancel to override this?
thanx
I'm trying to figure out how to validate a field to make sure the users are not entering any blank spaces into the field. I've tried setting the mask up as "aaaaaa" but it still lets the user enter a blank space.
I've also tried building an event procedure to run on exit that reads:
Private Sub Barcode_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim LPos As Integer
Dim LChar As String
Dim LValid_Values As String
'Start at first character in Barcode
LPos = 1
'Set up values that are considered to be alphanumeric
LValid_Values = " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX YZ+-.0123456789"
'Test each character in Barcode
While LPos <= Len(pValue)
'Single character in Barcode
LChar = Mid(pValue, LPos, 1)
'If character is not alphanumeric, return FALSE
If InStr(LValid_Values, LChar) = 0 Then
AlphaNumeric = False
Exit Function
End If
'Increment counter
LPos = LPos + 1
Wend
'Value is alphanumeric, return TRUE
AlphaNumeric = True
If AlphaNumberic = False Then
MsgBox "Barcode cannot contain blank spaces, only letters and numbers.", vbExclamation, "Barcode Field Value"
Else
End Sub
****
However the message box does not come up and the form will not then let you get out of that field.
Any ideas? I've been checking on this field by running a query and then manually correcting the errors but I would rather that the DB check and force correction at the time the data is entered.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I created a form to select individual subcontractors from my database to print their info and it works wonderfully, however, when I close the form I would like the check boxes to return to the default of unchecked so that when I open the form again, there are no checked boxes. How do I do this? Thanks!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem. On some forms with listboxes, when I close (via a close button) the listboxes want to requery after the form closes prompting a parameter box to pop up. I have no code inserted to do this. If I file-close, it works fine.
However some users don't report this to happen on their PC's. All are supposed to be set up the same though with me as an exception (having it fully installed).
I tried converting it to 2000 then back to 2002 (after trying compact-repair) which did fix it for me opening holding the shift key, but not if I open it like everyone else. We just got new PC's running XP pro from 2000. Access version is 2002 and did not change.
Any ideas? Our internal programmer is stumped as am I. He just says "that's why Access shouldn't be used for anything". I develop basic apps in Access and he hates it so I have to make sure it's perfect before rolling things out or I'll be back to the stone ages.
I want to run a function when my application closes. But it must run in all cases, so running it on the last form, or in a hidden form, is not good enough. Even if I'm in design mode with no forms loaded, I want it to run.
For background info - my app is locked down tight against clients poking around. I have got a way for me as developer to get into the "back door", and what I'm trying to do is make sure when I'm finished doing my stuff that the app is locked again without me having to remember to do it.
I am trying to use to update the field in a record, What I am trying to achieve, is once I press/click the update button, cursor needs to move to next desire field which is "txteditcid", but after pressing the update button, I am getting following error (however, field is updating in table)
Run-time error '2110':
Microsoft Access can't move the focus to the control txteditcid

I have a form with text boxes bound to a table. There are two fields, ProposedSalary and ProposedIncreasePercent, that should not be populated at the same time. It's either one or the other. I've tried to add a validation to the percent field to check if the salary field is empty or has value. That did not work for me and I removed the validation. Ever since, if I try to input a percent value into percent field, it changes to zero on exit. I think i might have tried to add that same validation to the form itself but i checked all the properties and I don't see anything. I've looked at the VBA code view and did not see ProposedIncreasePercent referenced anywhere. I created the document for the form through the document analyzer and searched for that field and couldn't find it. So, I can't find anything coded anywhere to change that field to zero but yet it does. I've also tried to remove the field and add it again and it does the same thing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBelow is the code for exiting without saving. It works perfectly fine. I just want to know if I can change the MSGBOX message to something like "Are you sure you want to exit without saving?" instead of its default message - "Are you sure you want to delete this record? and also, right now, if I click NO when I am asked if I want to delete this record, it exit the form rather than staying in the same form. But how do I make it to STAY in the same form if I click NO.

Hi-
In a subform, which is based on a query with two tables, I have a combo box (Field36) that is used to select a name. In the OnExit event, the following code is used to refresh the remaining fields on the subform:
Private Sub Field36_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Field36_Exit_Err
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRefresh
Field36_Exit_Exit:
Exit Sub
Field36_Exit_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume Field36_Exit_Exit
End Sub
We recently changed the name from one field to two (first, last), and now the Row Source for the combobox is:
"Select( [last name] & ", " & [first name]) From [INTRPTBL];"
The Control Source is one field (link name) in a table, and I want both names to end up in there.
The problem is, the code no longer works. Since I'm testing things, I only have one record in INTRPTBL. The data from that record shows up in every line of the continuous subform, regardless of the name that was chosen before. When I try to choose from the combo box, it won't allow me to click on the name, all I get is an angry "ding!"
I'm assuming this has to do with not being able to refresh based on the name in Field36. How can I set it up so it can bring up the appropriate information based on the last, first combination (which are two different fields in the table).
Thanks so much!
HI
