Startup Module For Common Code
Oct 22, 2007Is there a way, similar to Excel's "personal.xls", to put all my reuseable Access code into one central module?
Thanks in advance.

Whether To Code In A Form Module Or A Standard Module?
Dec 14, 2007I'm wondering how other members here make decisions whether they want to place codes behind form or use a standard module instead.
I understand there is a performance penalty when you add another module (and use it), but am not sure whether one big fat module would be faster than several smaller modules with identical coding.
Furthermore, I know that some members use a hidden form to deal with startup and shutdown processing. Sometimes the processing has nothing to do with forms and would make more sense in a standard module, but since the form is already loaded, does it makes more sense to use the module behind the form than calling a function in a separate standard module to execute the needed code?
So, what do you tend to do in such situation?
Module Code Stops Working
Nov 17, 2006just wondering why randomly certain modules in the form code stop working..
when you accidentally press return.. or do something in the wrong order.. or apply one rule to one control.. and then another control rule stops working..
so you have to delete the code.. right click on the control's event.. and re-insert the code into the event section.. and then it works..
why?

General :: Break Points In Code Module Fail To Work
Oct 16, 2013Does your Tools Reference have an MS Office 15.0 Object Library?
Just had to share this strange occurrence in the VB Code Module:
I use breakpoints all the time, was just using them yesterday.
Noticed that some events seemed to act differently this morning. The front-end was approaching 88 MB (after compress) so it is time for a change anyway.
Created a new blank Access dB (Access 2010) and imported all objects from my last backup revision. Reset the home page and tools References. Matched the settings side by side. As usual, the database shrank from 88 MB to 60 MB. The import all objects will usually compress things about this much.
From the screen shot, put breakpoints in previous code, added a new Lost-focus event and added a message box. None of the breakpoints work. The message box fires on the lost_focus and all of the code in the Click event works fine. But, not a single break point would work.
Totally powered down and restarted the Windows 7 32 bit Enterprise workstation. Still no change.
Took the screen shot of Tool-References from the code module of a two week old archive version. Used it to evaluate my new imported object database.To my surprise, the Microsoft Office 14.0 Object library is now Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library.Also put all the objects back in the same order. Saved and closed the new imported object database.Now, the breakpoints work just fine.
I had failed to reference the Office 15 Object Library and the VBA Extensibility 5.Office 14 Object Library is nowhere to be found except on my 2 week old backup archive.
Is this a Microsoft auto update? Is this what drives the breakpoint in the code module?
Error: Member Already Exists In An Object Module From Which This Object Module Derive
Oct 1, 2004I am creating an form in a database and whenever one of my procedure's run it creates this error message:
The expression ON Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
Member already exists in an object module from which this object module derives.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
An ideas?

How Do You Find The Most Common Value In A Field

Common Reg. Exp. For Validation Rules
Oct 12, 2004Hey there,
Is there a listing anywhere online for common regular expressions for validations rules? In other words, is there something that shows how to construct validation rules for things like phone numbers, addresses, postal/zip codes, serial numbers, math equations, etc. Two in particular that I'm looking for are phone numbers and postal/zip codes. Every time I try to wrap my head around the formula for a phone number (with area codes, an optional 1 in the begining, making sure no leading zeroes, making brackets around area codes optional, etc.) I only get a headache :mad: . I'll get it eventually, but a quick reference in the mean time and for future use would be very helpful.
Thanks so much,
Gibby :)
Would You Make Common Variables Public?
Oct 9, 2007It just occurred to me that I use certain variables in several of my routines. Maybe you've done the same... something like:
Dim db as DAO.Database
Dim rst as DAO.recordset
Dim qdf as DAO.QueryDef
Now, if it's re-used in many routines, wouldn't it make more sense to make it a public variable, and set them to whatever you need it for a certain routine? Would it be more efficient than having to re-initializing and discarding it for every routine that used it? What problem would one expect from making them public?
Also, since it's very common to set db = CurrentDb, would it also make sense to set it publicly, and for cases where you aren't using CurrentDb, use a private variable just for that one?
Two Tables With No Primary Key But A Common Field
Jun 15, 2006Hi guys,
I am having problem with a query.
I have to tables. One named wire and the other named Input.
As my title says there is not unique ID for the tables to relate.. the only thing to relate is one ID where is not unique for all the rows
In the Wire Table I have 3 rows using the same ID, lets say 123.
In the Input Table I have 1 row using the same ID as above, i.e. 123
I need to select a couple of fields from Wire Table and 1 field from Input Table
The only relationship I have is the ID 123.... since the ID in Wire Table is repeated in 3 rows.... I would like to use the same value from the Input Table to be the same for the 3 rows in the other table.. Below is an example:
Wire Table:
ID Group
123 A
123 B
123 C
Input Table
ID Description
123 Analog
My wanted result would be
Group Description
A Analog
B Analog
C Analog
I tried using the Left join or Join function, but somehow the resulting table has many duplicates of the rows...such as:
Group Description
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
B Analog
B Analog
B Analog
B Analog
...
Any Idea on whats going on and how can i solve this problem????
Thanks in advance. Your Help is much appreciated

Matching (find All In Common) Two Tables Of Titles

Common Data In Two Tables Of Different Size, How Do I Append From One To The Other..?
Jul 23, 2006Hello,
Firstly I would like to state that i have very little knowledge of Access databases (my job is not computer related) but I am trying my best to get a few issues sorted...
So here it goes: I have 2 tables, one large table with about 3-4000 rows(horizontal lines), and a smaller table with only about 1000 rows.
The rows in the big table contain Products (name, dates, adresses, phone numbers etc) and every product has a 'Codename' in a column-line (vertical)
of the big table. (there are about 3000-4000 products)
In the small table there exists a similar column-line (vertical) that contains 'Codenames' of the Products listed in the big table, but there are only ~ 1000 'Codenames' not the full 4000 ! The reason for this is that in the small table there exists another column-line(vertical) that for every code listed (in the small table) contains a certain specific "description".
My task is to get all the 1000 "descriptions" from the small table inserted into the Big table accordingly to their proper 'Codename'. This means createing a new column in the big table and: if the codename exists in small-table insert the description in the new column-cell, if the codename doesnt exist in small-table leave new-cell empty...
How do i do this ? :) Im guessing some coding is envolved.. and i have no clue whatsoever....
Thank you,
George P.
Creating A Database For Common Error Messages
Aug 23, 2006Hello to all. This is my first post on this forum. I'm currently working on a database for my company and would like to get some more guidance from you all. I work at a helpdesk. I'm trying to create a database that allows me to search for common error messages. My co-workers and I would be inputting the messages. I would like to be able to set up a query to search for these messages for future troubleshooting. I’m just looking for a start on what the tables and fields should be and how we can input the messages. All help is greatly appreciated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDisplaying Data From Two Databases That Have A Common Field
Mar 30, 2005I'm a complete novice when it comes to dynamic data so forgive my ignorance.
My database contains details of projects in progress. A user can click a link in a list and
display a summary of that project (okay so far - I've done that bit) - in the database though there
are two tables the second one lists project events/comments (title, date, job number and description) - when something interesting
happens during a project we add to the 2nd database a summary of what happened (we made 2nd db because the list
of things happening could be one entry or 50 entries) - the tables are links by the job number.
On the web site I would like that when a user clicks the link to display the info about a project it all also pulls info from
the second db but for the project with the same number.
I've hard coded a similar thing before "select * from tblProducts where category like 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes'" but in
this case instead of hard typing 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes' I'd like it to automatically insert the job number of the project
being looked at from the first database.
I don't think I've explained this as well as I could've - but if anyone could help I will be really grateful.
Forms :: Show Records With One Common Field Value
May 23, 2013I'm a beginner trying to build a simple database for work. I'm trying to track the performance of bonds from month to month, in this case January-April. Each bond has a serial number called Serial_ID, but we wanted to create a record for each month we own the bond, so we created a primary key combining Serial_ID and start date called Serial_Start_Date. So if we own one bond, its January record would have a primary key of "4553123A 2013-01-01" and February would be "4553123A 2013-02-01". I created a form that allows a user to select one individual month's bond and display that month's return. However, I'm struggling to find a way to create a form that allows me to just select the Serial_ID and display the four month's records. Right now there is only one table in the database.

View 3 Replies View RelatedQueries :: How To Query Number Of Records Not Common To Two Tables
Aug 9, 2013I have two tables, identical in terms of structure (number & names of fields etc.) but different in terms of content (records not necessarily the same, some may be common to both, some may only be present in one or other table)
I want to set up a query to count the number of records which are present in one table (Table A) but not in the other (Table B) using a common identifier field, and put the numerical result in a text box on a form (i.e. use the query as the control source for the text box)
I've managed to come up with the following which provides the list of ID's :
Quote:
SELECT tblA.CommentId
FROM tblA LEFT JOIN tblB ON tblA.Id = tblB.Id
WHERE tblB.Id Is Null;
Which will come in useful elsewhere but how do I adjust this SQL to only return the number of records? I think I have to use COUNT(*) somehow but I'm not familiar with it and not sure of the syntax?
