Error In Automatic Counter After Compacting
Jan 9, 2006After compacting my Access2000 database it usually is impossible to add new records. The automatic counter does not continue with a new value but seems to have "forgotten" some of the recently added records and tries to use a value that is already allocated. After pressing <ESC> the next value is applied and so - after adding and escaping the appropriate times - it finally reaches a valid new value and the record is accepted. Ugly workaround. Any known solution?

Nov 13, 2014is there anyway to make a counter field that is automatically filled (1,2,3,...) rather than filling it manually and also it resets each new day?? I'm not talking about autonumber field because of its nature also because I use it as a uniqe field "VisitID",
View 9 Replies View RelatedOnLoad Property
Mar 3, 2006What I'd like to do is for my combo boxes to say something like "Select One" when the form is first loaded, until the user opens the box and selects something. My combo boxes work fine now, but they are currently empty when the form loads.
From my google research it appeared that the OnLoad property would probably help me do what I want, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere in Access. It's not anywhere in the property window and the help search doesn't return any results.
I'm using Access 2003 from MS Office Professional Edition 2003.
Am I missing an upgrade or does my version not have this property, or am I just missing it?

How To Filter Subform OnLoad
Mar 20, 2014I have a subform inside of a form. The form has info about an entire group of parts and the subform contains a list of all the parts in that group. What I want to do is just filter out the parts in the subform whenever the form/subform loads which do not have a 'deleted' checkbox checked. (No parts in the database get deleted; if someone deletes a part I just want it to add a true to the 'deleted' flag field for the part and then that part doesnt show up in regular part lists anymore).
View 1 Replies View RelatedDate Comparison OnLoad Javascript Event
Aug 10, 2006Okay, me again, on my DAP (Data Access Page) I have a piece of JavaScript that tells my page onload compare 2 dates. It's straight forward and all and my code works. That's actually where the problem is... When access loads my DAP up it builds the page, executes the javascript and THEN populates my fields with all the records. So my comparison javascript will always execute BEFORE the data loads into my DAP...
<body language=”javascript” onload=”colorBox();”>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”javascript”>
Function colorBox(){
If (Quarter1DueDateP1 >= Quarter1CompleteddateP1){
Box3.{background-color:Green;}
}
Elseif (Quarter1CompleteddateP1>=Quarter1DueDateP1){
Box3.{background-color:Red;}
}
Else {
Box3.{background-color:Yellow;}
}

Forms :: OnLoad Runs When Closing Form
Oct 9, 2013I have an A2007 application running on XP. From main form, Form1, another form, Form2, is opened.
When I attempt to close the application by clicking in the cross in the rh-corner of Access window, I get a crash midway through the OnLoad of Form2. I cannot figure out why the heck the On Load event fires when the form is being closed, and have some difficulties stepping through the code.
I recall having heard of OnLoad firing when trying to close a Form.
Modules & VBA :: Set Default On Control In OnLoad Event
Nov 17, 2014I am dynamically trying to set a control default value. I have the code below in the On Load event of the form. I get an error msg that says "Run-time error '2467': The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist."
Forms(mainform)("Dyn_" & Trim(str(Project_ID)) & "_SubFrmTab03" & PT_Suffix & "_Approval").Controls("Groupid").DefaultValue = "=Forms!" & mainform & ".ClaimInfoGroupID"
Forms :: Onload Event Doesn't Run All The Time
Aug 16, 2015I have a form with an onload event that apparently only runs when it wants to. I've checked the onload property on the form and it is set to event procedure. Went through the code on the event and everything looks good. When i mark it in break mode and step through it it runs fine. When I take the marks off it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Data Access Page Onload Event Problem
Aug 8, 2006This behavior is driving me crazy!
I have a data access page with an onload event for the window. All I want to do is go to a new record, update a date field with today's date and save the record. Here is the code:
<SCRIPT language=vbscript event=onload for=window>
<!--
window.MSODSC.CurrentSection.DataPage.NewRecord
request_date.value=DateValue(Now)
MSODSC.DataPages(0).Save()
-->
</SCRIPT>
When I load the page, I can see the date pop into the request_date field, but then it disappears. I made sure the value update code works by putting it on a different object's click event. The problem is when it's in the onload event for the window.
Is there something I'm missing about this event that prevents this from working? Thanks!
Use Query Results OnLoad Of Form To Conduct An Action
Jan 2, 2008Alright. I've tried searching, but to be honest, I'm not even sure what to search for.
I want to create some VBA that onLoad of the opening form of the database, it will take info from a query that looks for data entered for a student. It will be looking to see if there is data in two date fields. If it finds data in both fields, then I want to make a change to the EnrollmentID row of another table to changed the graduated column from No to Yes.
To expand on that, I'll want to check each ClassID row and if all of the associated students of that class have the column Graduated checked as yes, it will place the date in the date column for that particular class.
This is essentially my way of auto-archiving data as the combo box selections on my forms don't allow for class data to be shown if there is a Closed Date entered for the class and you won't be able to enter more test results for a student if the Graduated Column is checked in the Enrollment table (associates memberID, ClassID, CourseID into a single table)
Any insight on how to do this would be greatly apprecaited.

Modules & VBA :: OnLoad Event To Change Icon Of The Form
Sep 26, 2014I currently use code in a module and code on each form in the on_load event to change the icon of the form.. the code i use is as follows..
in a module:
Code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_SETICON = &H80
Private Const IMAGE_ICON = 1
Private Const LR_LOADFROMFILE = &H10
Private Const SM_CXSMICON As Long = 49
Private Const SM_CYSMICON As Long = 50
[Code] ....
And on each form on load:
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, "k: est directoryhsicon.ico"
What I am wondering is would it be possible to store the .ico file within the DB file itself (i know access can store bitmaps) and reference the .ico in the form load event code?
Overtime the db file will probably move to its own dedicated storage so using a direct reference to the file wont work..
I have tried the following but get an error (it tries to reference the .ico file as to being in the root directory of the db file)
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, Left(CurrentDb.Name, Len(CurrentDb.Name) - Len(Dir(CurrentDb.Name))) & "hsicon.ico"
Forms :: Onload Event - Open A Form And Update Caption Of A Label
Apr 15, 2013I have some code on a button that opens a form and changes the caption of a label:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRepair", , , , , , "CancelNo"
Forms![frmRepair].Form.[lblmain].Caption = "Missing Parts"
This code works well and frmRepair opens with the updated label caption. The original value was "Return/repair Information"
A few other things need to change on frmRepair depending on this caption as well as the values of some other fields, so I use the following code in the onload event (although I later tried the onopen even)
Code:
'Disable labels button if there is no RMA and the item is a repair
MsgBox Me.lblmain.Caption
If Me.lblmain.Caption = "Return/Repair Information" Then
Me.txtRMA.SetFocus
MsgBox Me.txtRMA.Text
[Code] ....
However, I cannot get this to work as the "if" statement always returns "Return/Repair information" and not the modified caption. The message box confirms that this is the case.
I suspect that this has to do with the point in time that the frmRepair loads or opens and when my code enters the modified values.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAdd Counter To Query
Aug 18, 2006Hello. I'm trying to add a counter to the fields of a query. Purpose is to have a second query choose from this a selected record and next x records, which, of course have been already sorted by first query itself.
I thought the simplest way was with a simple automatic-generated counter, but perhaps I'm making it complicated and there's a simpler way. Any idea?
thanks

Counter Creation
Jun 20, 2005Hi everyone,
Here is my problem:
I Have a form that shows bills in a continuous form. My problem is that I want to put a textbox or a label that will display a kind of counter for each bills. For example, If I have 3 bills to display, I want my label or textbox to display 1 for the first bill, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, and so on.
But I don't know how to do that with a continuous form.
Could someone help me, please...
Thanks in advance!
Counter Text Box
May 26, 2005I have a counter text box that was set up exactly like the help instructions say to set it up and it is not counting correctly. I have it set up to where it is counting subgroups in the report. It counts for if one record has one or two errors, but I have one record in there that has 3 errors and it says that it only has two errors. Can anyone explain this to me?

Counter Become Random After Importing
Jan 21, 2008Hello all
this is my first post, so i hope i'm in the right bullettin.
I need help with this problem:
I have to work on this mdb that has been imported from Access 2000 to Access 2003. The guys did it some months ago, and of course they deleted the old .mdb and there are no backups.
However, the db still works, except that the ID of some tables are now "random id" than "incremental id", and since they used it for some months, now they are full of new records with random IDs.
Since they use THAT id for internal use, you understand that is not very easy to communicate stuff like "please send me document # -3189175187" and so they asked me to get it back to incremental, i tried from the table menu to change the dropdown, as i thought it was that easy. Bad luck, access now complains that the data aren't now contiguous (might be different error, it's a localized version, so i don't know how it is the exact error message, sorry), and i'm not really sure on what to do to avoid problems.
I've explained the best way i could, so if you need more info just ask, thanks everyone in advance!
Record Counter Problem
Nov 16, 2005Hi - I'm fairly new to Access and have jumped in head first. I do not know much about it, but I am very familiar with the other MS programs. I also don't know anything about visual basic.
I found an article online that described how to put in a custom record counter by using the Oncurrent Event. I have a form with a subform and I'd like have a custom record counter on both, however, when I open a new record, I get an error telling me there is no current record. This is more a problem for the subform, as the message pops up repeatedly until I put something into it to make it a current record.
The error is run-time error '3021': No Current Record.
This is the code that I used (keep in mind that I only copied this and used it, I didn't write it):
Private Sub Form_Current()
' Provide a record counter for using with
' custom navigation buttons (when not using
' Access built in navigation)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim lngCount As Long
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
With rst
.MoveFirst
.MoveLast
lngCount = .RecordCount
End With
'Show the result of the record count in the text box (txtRecordNo)
Me.txtRecordNo = "Record " & Me.CurrentRecord & " of " & lngCount
End Sub
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!! :D

Putting A Counter On A Form
Sep 16, 2007Hello everyone, new member here. I am in charge of a student sign in sign out database at the college where I work. This database has two forms and one table. What I would like to do is include a text box on the first form, which is the sign in form that will display a running total of the students that are signed in. This text box should count 1, 2, 3 etc. each time a student clicks the sign in button. Thanks for the help
