Queries :: How To Handle Function Errors When Running A Query
Dec 3, 2014
How does one handle function errors when running a query? Specifically:
(a) I have a user-defined function that lacks any error handling code except for an Exit Function that gets triggered if there is an unacceptable input parameter (e.g. typo in a flag value).
(b) This works fine when the function is simply part of VBA code or used in the Immediate window of the VBA editor. However,
(c) when the function is used in a SQL Select Query, I get bumped into the de-bugger, and Exit from there does not get me out of the Query. It just gets me out of the current record being processed and then hangs up again on the next.
It seems, therefore, that the function needs to have some instructions that abort the entire query when the function aborts the very first time.
A have a report that is based on a query that works fine when the query returns records.
However if the query (legitimately) returns no records then the report fields (numeric) are blank.
How can i get the query or report to show either "0" or "no data" when no records are returned? I have tried the NZ function but that didn't work so i don't think that is the right approach here?
I display some buttons on my Form. I should do an SQL request to know how many and what the button should display. It works fine with a RecordSet. Now I want to move the code that do the stuff to a function. I read that I can't return a pointer to a RecordSet and I should used a variant with a getrows.
So I try this :
*here is my function
Function get_nom_operation(ByVal cnn As ADODB.connection) As Variant Dim requetteSQL As String Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
Set res = get_nom_operation(conn) Dim i As Integer 'i = 1
For i = LBound(res) To UBound(res)
Set Obj = Me.Controls.Add("forms.CommandButton.1") With Obj .Name = "monButton" & i .Object.Caption = res(0,i) .Left = 14 .Top = 25 * i .Width = 60 .Height = 20 End With
'ajout de l'objet dans la classe Set Ge = New gere_event Set Ge.CButton = Obj Collect.Add Ge i = i + 1
Next
But it doesn' work, and I don't know why...
The error doesn't show where the code is stoped, but only show the call to display this form.
someone could show me some way to find the solution please ?
I am new to this forum, and I am facing a problem while learning MS-Access.
I am preparing a database that stores the marks obtained by students in a particular paper in addition to their particulars in tables. A query is then generated to canculate the aggregate marks and result (Pass/Fail) for the student. It is then presented in a report fomatted as a marksheet, as well as one tabulation chart.
The database is very crude in format, but I am happy with it since I do not know programming at all, and still I could make it. I have used in built menu of "ms-access" and mouse clicks only for generating query. It was a learn by doing method.
The problem is that my marksheets require absent students to be marked as "ABSENT" or something of that kind. If I convert my Null values to :
Expr2: IIf(IsNull([E_1]),"ABSENT",[E_1])
It shows ABSENT for null value, but refuses to make column total for E_1; On the other hand if I do not enter such expression, it makes column total in tabulation report, but fails to mark "ABSENT" to those who did not appear. So I have to lose one thing to gain another, while I need both.
I have a table that stores the criteria that the query is supposed to pull from so that when a user logs into my database, it reads that the person is part of a sepcific unit and then pulls that specific criteria and places it in a text box on a form. When they click a button on that form, it then opens the form that is connected to the query. The data type for the field I need criteria for is a number, so the criteria that shows up in the text box is this "1 or 3 or 5" so that it shows those specific numbers. If i put that directly into the query, it works just fine, but if I try to connect it from the text box in the form, it gives me a "data mismatch error" or an error explaining that criteria is too vast for access to pull the information. How do I make it read the information in there so that I dont have to create 1000 forms for each different unit.
Example:
Field: Unit Table: Master Log Data Criteria: 1 or 2 or 3
Works fine!
Field: Unit Table: Master Log Data Criteria: [Forms]![Selector]![Criteria]
The text box that is referenced in the criteria in the query says 1 or 2 or 3 and then I get an error... If the information is the same, why does it work when I place it in the query specifically, but not when its in the text box?
I am working on a database that contains patient demographic information. I have a form that prompts the user to enter either the medical record number or part of the patient name. Once you click search it'll then display a 2nd form with a list box outputting the results. Then from there the user can click on one of the entries in the listbox and it'll display the full demographic information on a 3rd form.
Now my problem is on the search part, it completely ignores if I have a medical record number entered. It continues to search by name only.
In my query for med rec # I have
[Forms]![frmSearch]![txtHistn]
where txtHistn is the text box field passing into the query. And for patient name column in the query under OR I have the following:
Like "*" & [forms]![frmSearch]![txtPname] & "*"
So I am confused why it ignores the medical record number entirely.
I have a test database attached. This is just a sample with dummy data entered and not designed pretty. Through this up for another issue I had yesterday that has been resolved but now discovered this query one. The frmSearch is how it begins. If you search by Smith it'll bring up the two Smiths I have entered. If I leave the field blank and enter 1 for the medical record number it treats it as null and displays everything. How can I fix this?
And while on the topic of query, the true database I am working with resides on an Power I series (formerly AS400s) and only linking to their tables. The data is entered in all Caps in the tables. How can I force whatever the user enters into the search screen that it will automatically uppercase the letters before performing the search? Without having the user to remember to enter with their cap locks on.
We currently manually run 5 different queries then copy and paste this data into 5 separate tabs on 1 workbook, I'm trying to automate some of this process if possible.
I am trying to use the 'transferspreadsheet' action within a macro to run a query and post it into a template excel file, using this code:
Trasfer Type Export Spreadsheet Type Excel 8-10 Table Name (query Name) FIle Name (FIle location) Has field names No Range Blank ---- This does seem to work and puts the data on a new tab on the specified workbook.
However I have a few questions:
1. Can you specify which query gets put onto which tab in excel? The tabs have different fixed names.
2. Can you specify which Cell the data gets pasted into to? As each tab has a set of headers and titles which need to remain.i.e would need to get query 1 to start in cell A4.
3. How would you expand the above out so that it runs all 5 queries, would you just add in multiple transfer spreadsheet actions in the same macro?
In Access 2010, I'm writing VBA code that assigns an ADO dataset as the recordsource for a form. The query itself varies and is constructed from a search term typed in a textbox by the user. The code below works perfectly until the dataset is empty, when no records satisfied the WHERE criteria. In that case, there is a very long pause (presumably a timeout?) and I eventually get the error message "ODBC call failed." I tried to get around this by testing the number of records in the dataset (see toward the end) before assigning it, but it makes no difference in the behavior, so I'm thinking the actual assignment isn't the issue ... something else is.
If it matters, the "FROM qry_beneficial_owners" in this case is predefined query local to my Access db. That query is based on a linked view from a SQL server.
Code: Public Sub RunSearch(SearchTerm As String) Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim sql As String Dim cols As String cols = "[acct], [acctname], [planid]"
creating a query with a running sum (cumulative total) across two categories. I need to accumulate Wages by employee, by calendar year for every day/every job worked. I have a table containing over 33,000 records, the years span from 2009 to 2014 with multiple employees.
The Dsum option I have found on the internet is too time-consuming and locks up my query for the over 33,000 records I need to generate results for. It needs to be a SQL statement. Although all the SQL statement I have tried simply total all Wages for every entry ever made in the column, instead of per calendar year, per employee.
Here are my fields: Calyear = Ascending Employee Name = Ascending WorkDate = Ascending ID
[code]...
There may be more than one entry per day per employee in a given year. This is so I can calculate certain payroll taxes which are based on cumulative wages amounts.
I have a form with tab set one tab called "Enter Receipt" and another that houses 2 queries called "Reconcile". My issue is when I open that form, I have an On Current Macro to go to NEW record for my Enter Receipt, but I am getting a delay while the query status bar runs the other queries. I was hoping not to have those ran until i enter the parameters and hit the run button on that "reconcile tab".
Everything else works, i just need the queries to keep from running when i load the form. my queries i moved from EDITED to NO LOCKS thinking the On Current new record may affected them, not change in delay.
I have a table for timesheet entry for a local building firm. I have a separate table containing employees and rates. I have created query "Qry_ Time Costs" which calculates the cost of hours worked by each employee by multiplying the hours field in the timesheet entry table by the rate field in the employees table.From "Qry_TimeCosts" I have created "Qry_TimeCosts1" in which i have included a running total field for time costs per day using the DSum function.
SELECT Qry_TimeCosts.[Project Title], Qry_TimeCosts.[Build Element], Qry_TimeCosts.[Date Worked], Sum(Qry_TimeCosts.Hours) AS Hours, Sum(Qry_TimeCosts.Cost) AS Cost, DSum("[cost]","qry_timecosts","[project title]='" & [project title] & "'" & "AND [build element] ='" & [build element] & "'" & "AND [date worked] <=#" & [date worked] & "#" & "") AS RunTot FROM Qry_TimeCosts GROUP BY Qry_TimeCosts.[Project Title], Qry_TimeCosts.[Build Element], Qry_TimeCosts.[Date Worked], DSum("[cost]","qry_timecosts","[project title]='" & [project title] & "'" & "AND [build element] ='" & [build element] & "'" & "AND [date worked] <=#" & [date worked] & "#" & "") HAVING (((Qry_TimeCosts.[Build Element]) Is Not Null));
This seems to be working for some projects and not for others. In particular dates 3rd 4th and 5th of June seem to be showing null fields, where all other dates have values. A few projects are showing inaccurate running totals whilst others are working fine.
I have a table of prices for commodity contracts, with my first field showing the dates the prices are from and the subsequent fields relating to the individual contracts (contract A, contract B, contract C, etc.)
I want to run a query that allows a date range to be selected, and a contract to be selected.
the first part I am pretty sure i know how to do (Between [Enter Period Start:] And [Enter Period End:]), but its selecting which contract i want this range to apply to that I am not sure how to do.
Can this be done in the same query? or would i have to do something like create a separate query for each contract and then use a form with a selection box that chooses which query to run?
I'm having problems figuring this one out -- I'm fairly new to access. I have included a JPG attachment that shows the information I currently have in use and what I would like. I need a SQL statement that will generate the rolling 12 months by period.
The end results will be a table that is populated with the rolling 12 month values so I can qry a sharepoint infopath form to look up the rolling value (look up against lng_PERIOD and chr_EE_RACF) to populate the YTD values.
I have now a database where I made a query that will show me all clients I can charge when there is a end date and an account number mentioned. I have also in a table where I put if the client is already charged. This is a check box that gives me yes or no. Is it possible to run the query and once those selected show up, to also add a yes to the table so next time I run the query the ones charged will not be charged again.
I have a count and store data INTO a table named USTATE
When I run the query it works within 30 seconds. but when i add INTO USTATE then it takes 4-8 minutes to complete it and asks for if i want to delete the existing.
I want to do something within Access 2010, but unfortunately I have only partly succeeded so far..
So far this thread has been very useful: [URL] ....
It (almost) completely explains my problem. I have a database with suppliers that participated in tenders. Now I would like to, on a chronological basis, make a "running count" on how often a supplier participated in these tenders (on the basis of supplierID).
In the attachment you can see an example of how the data in my table looks like. With the following function, which I got out of the thread above, I have already been able to make a running count on how often a supplier participated (its "experience").
The function: DCount("*";"[Table1]";"Supplier_ID = " & [Supplier_ID] & " AND ID <= " & [ID])
So far, so good. But I would like to go for an extra addition, since now the period on which this running count is based is the entire data set, which runs from 2006 till 2013. In other words, Access starts counting from the first record and ends at record 300.000. What I would like to do is to base this running count on the two years before (and including) the tender's Decision_Date, which is also in the dataset.
Example: a specific supplier participated in a tender that took place on 10 december 2010. Know I would like to know its "experience" with tenders, by means of a running count, based on the period from 10 december 2008 till 10 december 2010.
I have a query that produces a report for charges to the client. On the form I have a checkbox that when the client is charged it is ticked. What would be better is that when I run the query to export to excel, it should check all those checkboxes and the ones that are blank, fill them in (tick the box). Then I need to add to the query that that field should contain only blanks so it will show me only the ones that where not charged and then after producing the report check those boxes so it keep track of all the clients charged (to avoid double charge).
The problem that I am faced with is that I am try to automate a function that I have created that exports my access tables into XML. The function works great but now I want to take it to the next step. What I want to do is when a person exits my database I want the db to run this function before exiting so that all the new information is updated in the xml files. Any help would be highly appreciated.
i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.
My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)
I am creating a line graph from a running total query to show our income from items shipped for each month. Currently I have the following Code in my query which works but it displays the month as a number in my graph and I would like it to show the Month name.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND DatePart('m', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I tried this solution, but I get an error in the RunTot field, I'm assuming because Access can't use the month name in dsum.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND MonthName(DatePart('m', [ShippedDate]))<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I have some queries that pull data from one table and other queries that pull data from two related tables. In both cases, how do I prevent the data from being changed after the queries results are displayed? I know I could make a form and lock each field so it couldn't be changed, but I was hoping to avoid having to do that.
I have 3 different "buttons" on my form that run individual update queries. I know these update queries are running correctly. Decided to make a macro that will allow me to run all these queries by clicking one macro button.
My question is: Is there some way to stop the pop up msg that advises I am about to run an update query and the next pop up msg that informs me of how many rows I am going to update?
These pop up boxes are starting to drive me crazy when I run the macro.
I am trying to run a query in Access 2010 but I am getting an "Invalid Procedure Call" error. I searched online and found that this error can be caused by broken references.
I opened the VB editor (Alt F11) to search for "Missing" references but I do not see any. These are the 4 that are checked.
1. Visual Basic for Applications 2. Microsoft Access 14.0 Object Library 3. OLE Automation 4. Microsoft Office 14.0 Access database engine Object Library
