Queries :: How To Open A Form With A Timer Event

Aug 12, 2014

I've taken a break from Access for a while, but I'm back at it again and having some difficulty. I am trying to open a form with a timer to state that the database is going to shut down in five minutes if they don't respond. I'm obviously using the wrong code. I've been trying to use the following:

Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmWarning"
If Forms!frmHidden!chkActive Then
Forms!frmHidden!chkActive = False
Me.TimerInterval = 300000
Else
DoCmd.Quit
End If
End Sub

It crashes on the 'DoCmd.OpenForm "frmWarning"'

Simple (?) Timer Event Problem

May 24, 2005

I created a form to list the number of customers in my lobby. In the Form Footer I placed a field to count the number of customers waiting (Name: CC1, Control Source: =Count([LName]). Works fine.

I want a Beep on the form if the customers exeed 5. I placed the following code in the Timer event but I cannot get the event to work. I believe it has something to do with the field name but I'm unsure. Any help would be appreciated.

Private Sub Form_Timer()

Requery

If [CC1] >= 5 Then

Beep

Else

End If

End Sub

Skip On Timer Event Cycle

Sep 15, 2005

My form is always open and runs a timer event which runs a series of functions and procedures. I don't want to run a certain procedure on every timer cycle, but rather, every other timer cycle.

Any thoughts on how best to accomplish this. I'm having a mental block!

Forms :: MsgBox To Display Using Timer Event

Aug 19, 2014

I have a form (MS Access 2003) that has a button that when pressed, assigns the current time to field [Time1] using

Code:
Me.Time1 = Now()

I have another field [Time2] that adds 15 minutes to [Time1] using the following in the Control Source field

Code:
=DateAdd("n",15,[Time1])

I was wanting to use these to force a message box when the system time reached Time2 and tried the following code on the Form ON TIMER event (Interval at 1000 ms) but it does not work.

Code:

If Time() > Me.Time2 then
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if

I tried putting in a manual time in the VBA such as:

Code:

If Time() > #2:05:00 PM#
MSGBox "Time to show message"
End if

which worked. So, I am guessing there is something with my orignal code using Me.Time2 that is causing the problem.

Creating A Timer Event That Checks System Time?

Apr 21, 2005

I need a query run that brings up a list of customers that need maintence after 6 months after their last maintence service. As soon as you open the DB, the event/query runs and if there are any customers past due to display them. And if there are none, to not even show the query at all.

I have very little experience with timers and if/then statements and don't know how to set this up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Forms :: Timer Event Causing System Resource Exceeded

Dec 9, 2013

I have Access 2010 and have made a small system that creates a table as a result of an query based on linked tables. The result is approximately 40 records that are grouped in 4 different priorities where each record has a status of green, yellow or red.

By using the timer event I want to loop through 6 different forms starting with the overall view and herafter priority 1 form, priority 2 form and so on. When the last form has been displayed start over again. Loop for ever until stop button has been pushed on the first form.

The timer is set to 15000 on each form, when I open a form the first thing that happens is that I close the previous open form.

After the system has looped 4 times it gets "SYSTEM RESOURCE EXCEEDED".

I have used 3 days on the internet to try to get a solution on my problem with no luck. I have got so far that it must be something with the timer function. Since if I run it manually (open form, close previously, open next form etc) then no issues.

I have the latest service pack for access 2010.

Sep 2, 2005

I'm trying to open a form based on another form and have the following code in the Open Event:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_FormOpen
Dim strForm As String

strForm = "frmProductionBatch"
If IsLoaded(strForm) Then
Me.ProductName = Forms![frmProductionBatch]![ProductName]
Me.BatchNum = Forms![frmProductionBatch]![BatchNum]
Else
End If

Exit_FormOpen:
Exit Sub
Err_FormOpen:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_FormOpen

End Sub

It works however I get an error message stating that I cannot assign a value to this Object?
What is going on here?

Event From One Form That Opens Another Form: How Do I Open To The Right Record?

Nov 7, 2006

I have code for a button click event. Essentially I have a main table form that I use to enter customer data and info. I also have a button that I use to add that customer to a separate table that I use for special Customers. My code copies all the data I need copied to my other table, so I wont waste space here typing my code that actually copies the data to the new table. What I will list are the two commands I am using after that code, to close the current form (the one with the button) and open the form for entering special customer information (the form to edit data on my other table). It works flawlessly, but when it opens the other form, it opens to the first record. I want to know how to make it open to the record which I was viewing when I clicked the button to copy the data.


DoCmd.OpenForm "Special Customer Data Entry", , , Number = Me.Number
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Customer Data"

Forms :: Onload Event - Open A Form And Update Caption Of A Label

Apr 15, 2013

I 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.

Forms :: Using OnClick Event To Open Query Text Displayed In Form Field?

Oct 10, 2013

I have a table that holds the SQL texts for ca. 1000 Select queries (mostly minor variants that are used to programmatically swap out RowSource strings for combo boxes). I'd like to have a quick and easy way to open/review/modify these queries.

One strategy would be to display the SQL strings in a field on a Datasheet form, then use an onClick event on a text box linked to the SQL-holding field (or perhaps an onClick event tied to an unbound text box on the form) to open the associated query. That would allow me to view the SQL of the query that I want to open, allow me to quickly scroll through the list of stored SQL texts, and give me options for sorting or limiting the SQL-texts displayed in the datasheet form.

But, I can't seem to get the onClick event to work. The problem seems to be that I can't figure out how to pass the SQL string contained in the field to a function that will use that string to open the query .

Modules & VBA :: Main Form On Open Event To Show Tabbed Controls Only If There Is Data

Jul 24, 2013

I have a report that tracks scores for our employees. From the report, you can click a button to add a new score in a form or edit an existing score(frmscoretracker). On this form there are two subforms, in a tabbed control to track additional information about the score; what areas were marked down(Trends), and was it a failing score(AutoFail).

When this form opens I have it programmed to only show the subform if there is data in it. The goal being, if I am adding a new score and there is no existing trends or Autofails for this new record, neither subforms will show - I will add an after update even to show either trends or autofail depending on the score recorded. Also, if someone chooses to edit the score, whatever subform with data, will show as well.

When someone clicks to add a new score, opening this main form to a new record, both of the tabs show. However, if the form opens to an existing record, the appropriate tab shows. Here is the code

Code:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'If the subform has a record, the tab is visible, if not, the tab is not visible
If Me.frmtrends.Form.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Or IsNull(Me.Trends) Then
Me.Trends.Visible = True
Me.TabCtl33.Visible = True
Else
Me.Trends.Visible = False
End If

[code]...

Both tabs are set as not visible in the default settings. Is there something in this code that is triggering then to be visible when there is no record in the main form?

Modules & VBA :: Click Event To Open A Form And Select Record Corresponding To Value In Unbound Text Box

Oct 29, 2013

I have some code for a button on click event to open a form and select the record which corresponds to a value in an unbound text box. The code is:

Private Sub Command25_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmOpenPatientRecord"

[Code] ....

This works fine when I put in a 10 digit NHS number but opens a blank record when I enter a four digit or six character/digit PatientNumber. Both patient number and NHS number are text fields in the underlying table.

Form Timer

Mar 30, 2005

I’m not sure if this is going to be more of a VBA question but at the moment for me it’s a form thing.

Is there any way i can have a form automatically close and load a different form after an amount of time since it was loaded has passed.

I have a form and i want it to lose after 30 seconds of opening and load the next form.

I’ve had a search around access help but that really wasn’t too successful and I found nothing like it on these forums.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Crisp.

General :: Countdown Timer On Form Using Different DateDiff

Jul 31, 2012

I have created a countdown counter on a form using different Datediff's so to split the renaining time into days, hours, minutes and seconds.

The Datediff compares Now() to a text box called txt.Leaving which has a date/time unputted via a table (Format: General Date)

However the seconds and minutes work ok but the hours and days dont count down inline with the minutes and seconds reducing. The hours do alter when the minutes are 13 mins into the new hour. This would seem to point possibly to rounding off but I would expect that further into the hour.

Below is the Datediff that is set as the control source in a text box and the form it sits on has its timer set to 1000 and the event requeries the text box.

=DateDiff("d",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) & "d, " & DateDiff("h",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 24 & "h, " & DateDiff("n",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "m, " & DateDiff("s",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "s"

Using Access 2000.

Check To See If A Table Is Already Open On A Click Event

Feb 4, 2005

Some of the things that bring me screeching halt really surprise me. I swear, this sounds like it should be so easy....

What I need to do is check, when the user clicks on a button, whether a specific table that is going to be modified/deleted later in the click code is already open. If it is open, I will msgbox the user to close the table first and exit the sub.

Any ideas?

All help, as always, is much appreciated!

Modules & VBA :: Setting Filter Property Via On Open Event Of A Report

Dec 15, 2014

I have a report, on a control tab, on a main form.

On the form are two buttons: one to show all items, and one to filter them based on a boolean field called showitem.

The buttons work with the code below.

What I want to do but cannot seem to figure out is to have the report default to no filter.

The bound query has no criteria.

I'm trying to set the filter property via the on open or on load event and even if I isolate the report, cannot seem to reach it.

Code:
Private Sub b_hide_items_Click()
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.Filter = "timeline.showItem <> 1"
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.FilterOn = True
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Requery
End Sub

Private Sub b_show_all_Click()
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.Filter = "timeline.showItem = 0"
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Report.FilterOn = False
Me.Profile_Timeline_wNotes_subreport.Requery
End Sub
