Hi,
Is there a way i can perfrom some functions before or after the next record in the recordset is loaded. (form is set to continuous)
For instance:
If i have 5 records in my forms record source after the 1st it will msgbox "sumin" after the second msgbox "sumin" and so on?
This is the record source in the properties of the form by the way not a recordset within vba?
Thanks

Is it possible to create a macro in Access that opens up a word document from a shared drive? Within Access, I don't see a macro available to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOK, usually I can figure these things out for myself, but I'm realy stuck on this one and any help would be appreciated
background: I work in a small scale pilot production line, and we take a series of measurements for every part that we make, each of which has a unique ID. Sometimes we need to take the measurements more than once, so that the data output from the measurement system (which it can append straight to an access table) has a part ID and a measurement number, the combination of which is unique (for reasons that I won't go into it is not possible to combine them into a single field, otherwise we would do this)
problem: The measurement system can be temperamental and sometimes sends the same record more than once, and It is horribly time consuming to go through and check manually
It occured to me that we could send the measurements to table1 (where they would be stored temporarily), and write a sub to go through each record in table1 in turn, compare the part ID and measurement number to the records stored in table2 (where they would be stored permanently), and append the record to table2 only if the part ID and measurement number combo has not already been taken, before moving onto the next record in table1 and doing the same thing
The part I just can't figure out is how to go through the records in turn and compare them, I can do the append and deletion using SQL, that's not a problem.
if anyone can point in the right direction I'd be realy grateful (or tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree completely)

How do I get a field to calculate this formula?
I want a script to find the precise current date and from another field find a number and add it to the current date day to make current date + number = date in the future.
For example
Field: Total Nights Hired = 2
Field: Date due back = 23/02/07 + 2 = 25/02/07
I am sorry if I did not explain this well enough. I am totally new to databases but need help in my corsework. I am designing a video rental system.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I know how to do a "Like '*xyz*' " type condition in a query. How do I set up a "Not like '*xyz*' " type condition in a query?
Thanks for your help. This forum is wonderful!
Hello Everyone, (where would i be without ya)
Here is what i would like to do if anyone can help
I have a table with the following columns which are currency values, along with aload of other stuff
High
Med
Low
These have been put into a form as bound text boxes, i would like to allow the user to
chose their rate, say by a button or maybe option group "i'm open to ideas"
Dependent on the choice made the rate chosen will then go into a independent text box.
After there i'm fine, the reason for this is,.. the chosen rate/independent text box will form part of a calculation
Best Regards AM
I'm getting an error when trying to run a report. "There isn't enough memory to perform this operation. Close unneeded programs and try the operation again."
1.) I tried to install both the V-Tools and Rick Fisher add-ins, and neither one could be added. I got errors from both.
2.) I'm working with a small test database to create a report. Db is tiny, 1.8Mb. But I've also created a report which has several embedded subreports. Everything is based off of queries which certainly have to sort through some data.
3.) I have compacted and repaired.
Can someone please tell me if there is a way to perform lookups in Excel from an Access table without first exporting the data into Excel? I have a form that is being exported into Excel from a pricing tool our company uses from an outside vendor. It is important the users have the ability to perform complicated calculations and are not at all experienced in Access. There are several data sources that are well over the 65,000+ rows limited by Excel. I need to either prove or disprove whether it is possible to perform lookups between Office applications. If it is possible to lookup between applications, I would appreciate any sources known to learn how to do this. If not possible, I would like to be able to confirm that fact to my manager.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Hi there.
Does anyone know how to use an update query to copy some records from one table into another?
I have table1 which has all the contact details and what I would like to do is work out a process for importing records from an excel spreadsheet.
What I have so far is as follows:
1. In access go into the queries tab and select update query
2. Open both table1 and table2
3. Drag the fields to be updated (table1)
4. In Update to select [table2].[table2 column name]
When i run this nothing appears to happen. 0 records are appended.
Does anyone now how to go around this with another solution or should I be using other SQL methods?
All comments much appreciated
Thanks
Environment: Front-end Access application developed in 2003, with back-end database in 2003. Being deployed in a mixed 2003/2007 environment. Users with Office 2007 will have to open and use the 2003 Access application without converting it to Access 2007.
Problem: When I take the Access 2003 application and open it with 2007, some forms give the following error message (whether selecting Open, Layout View, or Design View):
"There isn't enough memory to preform this operation, Please close unneeded programs and try the operation again."
The real problem is some of the most complex forms open in design view, and some of the simplest do not. There appears to be no ryhme or reason to it. Some of the forms are bound and some aren't. Some of the bound forms are bound at run-time with embedded SQL, some aren't. All query objects seems to be fine, when they are used on bound forms. Some forms have significant amounts of code behind them, some do not.
All report objects execute fine with no problems opening any view.
I can open the same file in Access 2003 and everything is fine. I've compacted and repaired the DB in Access 2003, no help when I go back to 2007.
Wondering if some references are off? But I have some really simple forms that can't be opened. I find nothing on MSDN on this.
Hello,
I am having trouble making a command button do what I want. I have a subform within my form, but I only want it to appear when I click the button. I tried using the wizard but there is no option to open subform, only open form. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Is there a way perform CTRL+' with vba code in MsAccess 2000

CTRL+' copies data from a field in the previous record to that field in the current record.

I have my setup all complete and everything works great. Now, I have a subNavigation form within the Navigation form. Thing is, I am not sure how to go about the code for the query to pick up the Beginning and End Date to generate my report. Here is my Form setup:
frmNavigationForm (Main form) - Tabs on top.
NavigationSubform (first Navigation Form, where I have a tab called Admin)
frmAdminNav (where I have embedded under the Admin tab) - Tabs on left side.
NavigationSubform (Second Navigation form where I have a tab called "Search") I don't recall what the name. How do I find it, stupid question, I know...
frmSearch (where I am trying to pull a detailed report from date search criteria)
Here is one of the codes I have been trying to use in my Query and nothing seems to work.
Code:
Between [Forms]![frmNavigationForm]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![frmAdminNav].[Form]![frmSearch]![BeginDate] And [Forms]![frmNavigationForm]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![frmAdminNav].[Form]![frmSearch]![EndDate]
tell me that can we use functional keys F1, F2,F3,,,,,,,,,,,,,,F12 in ms access to perform commands like saving a form data , for closing form refreshing form, clear form.Or is there any way to make shortcut keys combination like[(ctrl+s)(ctrl+c) (ctrl+A)] in access to perform action like saving,closing,clearing, current form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
How can I edit a query in SQL view to run multiple lines of SQL?
For example I can use the GUI to create a query, then in SQL view enter the following:
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy;
which clears the Employees_copy table. Perfect. But what if I want to do this for mulitple tables in the same query eg for a second table Employees_copy_2 as well? I've tried
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy_2;
which gives a syntax error, as does
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy,
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy_2;
any suggestions?
I'm trying to get a query to perform a calculation and round the results.
The fields that I am running the calculation and am trying to round are Data Type Number, properties Field size Single and decimal places Auto.
I have tried the built in function described in Allen Browne's site to no avail.

I have tried rounding the individual fields and then adding result.
I have also tried rounding the result (as attached).
I have a text box on a form, currently it performs a dlookup for me. I want to change it so that it only performs the Dlookup if a checkbox is checked, but otherwise will display the text that's in an unbound text box.
Not 100% this is even possible, but hoping so. So far I have in the textbook:
=IIf([CHECKBOX]=0,DLookUp("TABLE","FIELD","ID = " & [Text57] & ""),[TEXTBOX])
The dlookup works fine by itself, it's just making it conditional that's causing me problems. I know it could just be a small problem with the way I've written it, or it could be a bigger thing with me not understanding the way IIF works.
I have a subform based on a query. That query contains a couple of calculations that end up in textboxes on the subform. The problem is that the calculations require me to enter 2 dates that are on the subform. If these are not entered before the calculation is performed I get a "Cannot update record" error message and then #error in both Lease cost and Discount Cost textboxes.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,
I thought this would be easier, but the results I'm getting are inaccurate.
I have a table that includes items and dates. There are multiple records per item. I want to show each item only once with the earliest corresponding date. I've sorted, used the TOP, DISTINCT, and FIRST functions and can not seem to come up with the right combination.
The query is already works from another query that sorts by item and date. I just need to pull the first record for each. I would appreciate any suggestions!
Hi
Has anyone ever got this error message before? I’ve never came across it and I don’t know how to fix it. The error message displayed when I added three extra labels to a form then tried running it. At the beginning, it took more time than usual to think about it then the error message was displayed. Now I can’t open my form in design view nor can I run it! It’s totally inaccessible.
The error msg is attached.
Any help will be very much appreciated,

I have written a simple module that sorts and compares two strings. Next I am trying to create an event procedure for a button that will send all the values from three selected colums to that function for comparison.
Below is function "Check" from the module
' sImp = importData
' sAns = answerData
' iOpt = option
Function Check(sImp As String, sAns As String, iOpt As Integer) As Integer
Dim lImp As Long 'Imported values (unsorted)
Dim lAns As Long 'Entered values (unsorted)
Dim lAcnt As Long
Dim lCcnt As Long
Dim sAnswer As String 'Correct
Dim iMini As Integer
Dim sImpSort As String
Dim sAnsSort As String
lImp = Len(sImp)
lAns = Len(sAns)
sImpSort = OrderString(sImp)
sAnsSort = OrderString(sAns)
For lAcnt = 1 To lImp
sAnswer = Mid(sImpSort, lAcnt, 1)
' option
Select Case iOpt
' all
Case 1
Check = 1
Exit Function
' or
Case 2
For lCcnt = 1 To lAns
If Mid(sAnsSort, lCcnt, 1) = sAnswer Then
Check = 1
Exit Function
End If
Next
' and
Case 3
If sImpSort = sAnsSort Then
Check = 1
Exit Function
End If
Case Else
End Select
Next
End Function
What would be the best way to send these values to the function? loop through a recordset?
(Note: Not sure how many records the DB will eventually store. Lets just say 10,000 for now)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks

Hi Guys, sorry to bother you but I'm really stumped. I've looked through some similar sounding old posts on here but they don't seem to answer my problem...
I've got a report, which is grouped, in the footer of each group a SUM label should add the contents of the pricce column, however strangely it only adds the first record of each group as a running total. I've tried both the "Over all" and "Over group" attributes of the running sum property, but they make no difference.
Any help would really save my day. Cheers!
Hi,
How can i run some vba cose directly after i click the move next button on the navigation but at the bottom of the form.
Thanks
k0r54
im working on an access report and would like a little vba script to run on when the page prints out the next record (mostly just need to hide/unhide a few objects and change the value of a variable on the report when it prints the next record)how i can trigger this (as there seems to be no onNextRecord event handler)
edit: upon a better inspection of the reports record source i realized that on next record doesnt actually work (i could force it to by adding a few new fields to queries and forcing endless loops), what i needs actually a lil more complicated
my report has a header, in the header is a field called productionNo, the record source has multiple instances of prodno's with countless duplicates, what i need is a function to trigger when the productionno changes, there will probably be a few pages with the same production number (theyd be grouped together though), so it should only trigger when the value changes, not when it stays the same
I have a Word 2010 document linked to an Access 2010 data source. When a user clicks a button in Access, the Word document loads and performs a email merge using the below VBA code:
Private Sub Document_Open()
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToEmail
.SuppressBlankLines = True
[Code] ....
However, as the .mailsubject part is not in the loop it is only retrieving the first Return Code. I have tried to integrate in the loop to no avail. Also, how do I add static text to the Subject, I need something like "Your Return Code" + "Return Code"..
