hi everyone,
just wondering if it was possible to have a box that returns the % completion of the current record depending on how much data/how many of the fields of the record have been filled out.
e.g. fields with containing data / total number of fields * 100
possible or not? if so...how is it done?
thanks, james
I have developed several applications in code which take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to run, depending on the amount of data and local server traffic. I would like my clients to be able to tell that their process is actually running through some kind of "percentage complete" status bar or progress indicator, rather than their computer sitting there with an hourglass visible for what seems like forever. I would like to set this up where it runs from the form which triggers the code or the like.....any easy way to set this up or any code repository make this easier?
Thanks. Happy new year to all!!
Ok the question may sound cryptic, but I have a large database with many forms that all contains VBA code that can be iniated via a button and will perform some time consuming work.
I would like to be able to view some kind of status or progress of the work performed. Perhaps even dynamically like in from 0-100% work done.
Example send some status text to either a popup form or even the bottom "statusbar" text area. The problem with the latter is that I know how to change it via VBA, but as far as I know it requires me to access and change it using form and object. But I need this from so many forms and objects (buttons) that I would need to do a lot of code rework to actually know where I am calling my VBA code from.
Is it possible to change the status text "universally", that is without regards to a form and object?
Or how else can I go about to display some status/progress text which will work from any form and object without passing form and object name.
Basically, I've created a form to track maintenance requests for specific types of equipment. Basically it's like a ticketing system.
Once a user creates the request, I want to use a subform (I guess this is the best way) to let them add data to that specific main form record to track the progress of the request until the repair is made and the "ticket" is closed out.
Do I need to create another table for the "progress reports" (for lack of a better term) or should this be done using some sort of an append query?
I've seen plenty of sample databases where they have a box within a form that looks like a datasheet where these types of "update" notes can be added and then submitted with the click of a button, but I've never been able to get at the code behind it.
Dear All,
I have a MAIN table which stores the most recent info of a record with
following details:
Unique_Ref_Num|Status|Dept
1 |6 | 1
and a second table called history which records changes in the main table
HistoryID | Status | DateStamp
1 | 1 | #22/10/2007 09:00#
1 | 2 | #22/10/2007 09:01#
2 | 1 | #22/10/2007 09:05#
2 | 2 | #22/10/2007 09:06#
1 | 2 | #22/10/2007 11:00#
2 | 3 | #22/10/2007 15:00#
1 | 3 | #22/10/2007 16:00#
2 | 2 | #22/10/2007 16:10#
Where Status 1 = Open, 2 = Allocated and 3 = Closed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to get the count of number of queries which are not closed
(outstanding) at any point in time.
Example: (with a time parameter)
Input | Result
22/10/2007 17:00 | 1
22/10/2007 16:05 | 0
22/10/2007 14:00 | 2
I want to achieve this with just 1 query (not by using one query within the
other) b,coz I want to further use this query from Excel VBA (write through
Excel VBA and not store the query within Access)
Any help will be greatly appreciated

:confused:
I have a query with a record id, report date and status.
How do I pull the latest record if the status is AA?
For latest record in report date I used Max in Totals. With just this max it is pulling the latest date for each set of records with the same record id.
This is a start now how do i pull the latest record that has a AA status?
I have a database which contains a field 'status'. This status takes a numerical value (1, 2, 3, etc...). Everything works great.
What I want is to monitor the length of time a field spends on particular status. Specifically, I want to record the length of time that the record spends with a status value of 3. So if the record has its status changed to 3, the system 'starts the clock' and once the status changes away from 3, the system 'stops the clock'. This must also continue if the status subsequently returns to 3 at a later date (for the same record) and cumulatively produce the total amount of time that the record spent on status 3.
Practical example
March 19th: Record is set to status 3 (for the first time)
March 21st: Record is set to status 1
March 25th: Record is set to status 3 (again)
March 27th: Record is set to status 2
In this scenario, I want visibility that the record has spent four days on status 3 altogether. I don't need exact times (nearest day will do). Ideally the system will only count working days (although this is not a must-have).
Afternoon.
I have had a search through the forum however am unable to find anything...
I have two questions:
a) How do I check whether someone else is currently accessing a record / form?
i.e. Opening the form (SchemeDetails) like this:
DoCmd.OpenForm "SchemeDetails", acNormal, "", "", acEdit, acNormal
Forms!SchemeDetails.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord acForm, "SchemeDetails", acGoTo, tempVal
Can I check if someone else is in the specified record before I open it? Record Locking is (deliberately) set to "No Locks".
b) How do I check to see if a table exists?
i.e. If DataTable2.Exists = True then ...
Or something like this?
Hope someone can help me!
I have a form that contains a toggle button. When a record is complete and considered closed I click the toggle button. I want to make the form background turn red if I enter into a record that has been closed. :confused:
If this is not possible, is there something similiar that would stand out:rolleyes:
Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks!
I have a form and I want show a message on the form when the it is locked as another user is editing the data in a particular record.
I know the record selectors show the records lock status but it a very tiny symbol which will mean nothing to the users of the database and anyway I don't want record selector bar on the form. How I would do this???

Hi,
I have a report and I am doing some SQL stuff at the back end on the report open. This takes a little time and I want to show the user that its working and I want to prevent him from double clicking the report again. So is there any way to show a progress dialog or something so that the user knows that the list is being built? Thanks in advance!

I have a form that, when I press a button it loads another form. The second form takes about 20-25 seconds to load due to the fact that the (split)DB is running over a network, and the form itself has many fields on it. I'm thinking that my users will think that their computer is locked up and keep closing out of the DB. I would like to add a progress meter or percent meter so the user will at least see that something is happening. Has anyone ever programmed one of these things, and if so, could you please give me some insight? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm struggling with a very formal, not to say aesthetic, problem on one of my form used as a progress bar.
This form is very simple, it contains only one unbound control that is called "Percentage".
It displays the percentage of completion, when launching a report based on a somewhat "heavy" crosstab query (lots of records, etc.).
Anyway, the goal is to inform the user that the report is being processed, so that he knows wether he has time to get a coffee, or whatever he wants (the process may take as long as 2 or 3 mn).
As far as code is concerned, the variant "Percentage" is simply incremented in a loop included in the report design code, and refreshes the value of the "Percentage" control displayed in my form.
Everything works fine, except that I can't figure out a way to get rid of the cursor that stays in the unbound control : in fact, the percentage is displayed in reverse video, since the cursor focuses on the control at every iteration. Which gives my "progress bar" form quite an ugly look, and makes it difficult to read, whereas besides this "bug" it is perfectly satisfying.
Any idea anyone ?
Thanks in advance for this.
I am unable to print the progress bar of the syscmd, I have tried checning the progressbar too under the startup.When I put a debug point, it goes to that area and loops through it, by printing it in the immediate window, debug.print.
I have even put a msgbox, to see whether it is popping up, yes it does.I have tried Application.syscmd and syscmd, here I am gonna paste the coding.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Sub ProgressMeterModule()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

I'm making a code to run a Progress Bar from different forms and as per their conditions. Have two forms:
1- Form1="frmProgressMeter"
2- Form2="frmDatabaseStwitcher"
3- Module1=for Functions
On frmDatabaseStwitcher, the code for Progress Bar is:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Declare Sub sapiSleep Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "Sleep" _
(ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
[code]...
This code is working in two ways:
If I go with "SetProgressBar n / NOS" then progress bar shows 2% and then connecting process time.
Or
If I go with "SetProgressBar n + NOS" then progress works till 100% but then connecting process time.
Also
SetProgressBar (n / NOS) * 100 but then connecting process time.
I have a form that takes sever seconds to load, due in part to the number of records I suppose, however I would like to create a progress meter (form?) that will run while the form is loading. I have tried several different suggestions but none work. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Is there any way to modify the progress bar so instead of saying "running query" it states the name of the query?
Like: Running Query [qryFRED] <progress bar>
I want a progress bar in a form that will increase from bottom to top . The data will from Access table. The bar will start from 0 to Maxvalue. The Maxvalue will be calculated as below:
Total number of batches in the table/ No. of working days between 14072014 and 31112014 / 2
So the above calculation will define the range of a progress indicator.
And now we have to show the % percentage that means how many batches have been scanned for today. For this the following calculations will be used:
Count total batches where scandate=today and scannedby<>null
Now this will show the percentage in the bar that means hopw much work has been completed.
The progress bar should move from bottom to top when % increases.
I want to display the message "Processing Record ? of ???..." on the screen while my vba code is running without interruption. Since the msgbox requires the user to click a button to continue, what is the simplest way to display this message on the screen without interrupting the program or requiring user interaction?
