Is there anyway to reset a query or macro when you open a new record? My database seems to be holding on to data from the previous record. The data is gained from two queries and one macro.
View RepliesI really hate being stupid about this, but I'm running around in a circle and it's making me dizzy. All I want is a simple macro that opens a form (with a subform) at a new record from a button. I know I am missing something obvious so I will let others see if they can find out what has gone wrong. The current macro is:
OpenForm(FormName)..View(Form)..DataMode(Add)
GoToRecord .. ObjectType(Form) .. ObjectName(FormName) .. Record(New)
On the property sheet of the form the following are all set to yes:
Allow Filters, Allow Edits, Allow Deletions, Allow Additions, Data Entry (I suspect the problem is here)
Record Locks is set to No Locks.
When I open the form from the button, it looks right, and I can enter the transaction information, but when I try to enter the subform information or save it , I get "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find a record in the table 'NewContacts_tbl' with key matching field(s) 'ContactID'". I get the same message with Allow Data Entry set to no.
And yes the key field IS there, in spite of what the Microsoft Jet database says.
I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the holidays and thanks to all of you for your past help and my current (relative) sanity.

I'm very new to access database and I'm trying to create a macro that allows the user to enter data after seeing a mistake in a form. I need a macro that will open the specific table and record of a piece of data. For example there is a student TestName3 whose grade on a competency is 30% but should really be 45%. I want a macro by the competency percentage to allow the teacher to edit that without looking through the entire table. The macro should prompt first to ask if the teacher is sure they would like to edit, second prompt asking for the student's unique ID number, and finally be taken to the specific record and table related to that competency.
I have tried to use a vastly overcomplicated DLookup and Order column to give me the value for a acGoTo search.
Here's what I have.
Option Compare Database
Dim answer As String
Dim response As Object
Dim gotoresponse As Object
Private Sub Command71_Click()
On Error GoTo Command71_Click_Err

I have a query run that gives me a list of records that I view on a continuos form. What I want is to press a button and run a macro/Append Query to add a Single Summary record to another table.
For example my query spits out this data
Part # Quantity Serial Number
GO2 1 123
GO2 2 456
GO2 2 789
What I'm looking to get is
Part Number Total Quantity Serial Number 1 Serial Number 2 ..
GO2 5 123 456
I'm stuck on a couple of things.
1. Getting a new single row to append.
2. Getting Serial Numbers from several records to save on to a single record.
Hello, fantastic site you have here!
I have a form based on a table called TermWithPaysStoredData that shows a single row for everyone in the table with a small amount of info from the table and has controls for a user to enter dates which writes to that same table.
I have a subform that reads that same table but has much more information about each row. I would like to add a button to each row of the main form that says "More Info". When clicked, it should open the subform to the same employee.
The field I want to match is called ID. My main form is called fTermWithPays and my subform is called fTermWithPaysMoreInformation.
I tried using the OpenForm method but that either opens the form to the first record or filters and shows only one blank record.
I'd like to use a macro for this if possible because I don't know VB.
Any ideas? Let me know if more explanation is needed.
Thanks very much!
I have a parent form showing some of the contents of a single record in a parent table. This form contains a button that opens a specific subform (using an IF statement based on the contents of another field in the parent table/form. There are actually any of 8 child forms/tables that could be selected and the related record is in only one of them. The relation between the tables is based on the PK of the parent table and the related FK in the child table. and the data is correct in all tables.
My problem is that when I run this button on the parent form/table it returns the appropriate form/table, but displays the first record rather than the related record. In the past (using this same process) I have been successful in getting to the right record by fiddling with the where statement (sometimes putting in a equal sign or taking it out fixes the problem). However, no matter what I do to the Where statement nothing works. I have not yet placed the final else condition for where the form selection field (VMValIdentType] is empty yet as there is no point at this time.
Here are the button macro contents:
If [VMValIdentType] = "Software"
OpenForm
Form Name: tmpVMValSW
View: Form

Hello, I have a form that I will need to allow users to be able to go back and find a specific record and edit it. I have a control number to uniquely identify each record. I have a main data entry form where the subform has the unique value in it. Can I run a macro to ask the user what control number they are looking for and then open the data entry form to that specific record?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that needs to run repeatedly until the number of records in a query =0 but I can't seem to get the Repeat Expression set properly.
My query is called sqMatchCount:
SELECT Count(sqCompare_Parts_Matched_1st.BRP_Entry_Num) AS MatchCount
FROM sqCompare_Parts_Matched_1st;
The theory is if I don't have any more matches then I do not want the macro to run any more. In other words, MatchCount will = 0 when there are no more matches.
I have tried a variety of syntax using DCount in the Repeat Expression:
=DCount("*","sqMatchCount") ...... Macro runs in a continuous loop
DCount("*","sqMatchCount")=0 ...... Macro does not run (although I thought a couple times it actually DID run with this syntax)
DCount("MatchCount","sqMatchCount")=0 ...... Macro does not run
=DCount("MatchCount","sqMatchCount")=0 ....... Macro does not run
=DCount("MatchCount","sqMatchCount") ....... Macro runs in a continuous loop
What IS the proper way to write this Repeat Expression for the RunMacro Action if I want it to run as long as sqMatchCount.MatchCount>0?
(I'm not sure if this belongs in the macro or query forum)
I have a macro that opens 15 queries and ends with opening a report.
The final query asks the user to type in beginning date, then an end date. Now when there's a data mismatch (i.e., he spells feburary), the macro halts. No harm no foul, they can just click the command button again, but I'd rather not.
What I'd like to do is place a msgbox (i.e., "Check Your Spelling") and then reroute them back to the query.
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 have a cumlative DB that exports a file daily based on what was keyed daily..
Therfore, every day I am sending only new records from the DB to a vendor.
I was using autonumber to assign the record number but they now want the record number to restart at 1 for a new days worth of data entry.
So today's file may have record number 1-10 (10 recs) and tomorrow's file would have 11-20 populated om the record number field.
My new record number would have to be 1-10 today and 1-10 tomorrow etc..
Not sure how to do this easily.
thanks!!!

Hi All
Can someone help me with opening a form from another form using the OnDblClick event and to open the form using the data in the record to open it at the same record. ie Site Name = CP House so the form opens with CP House data showing, Site Name = St James so the form opens with St James data showing etc.
Thanks

We need to reset the autonumber after the last record is deleted.
For example:
2006
2007
2008
if 2008 gets deleted, we want the autonumber to reset back to 2008 rather than move to 2009.
Is this possible? This is the code we are using but cannot get the string to recognize the variable. If the variable is replaced with a number, it works, but it defeats the purpose of adding the plus 1 to the last autonumber.
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim RLMax As Integer
Dim Statement As String
RLMax = DMax("[id]", "Table1")
RLMax = RLMax + 1
strSQL = "Alter table table1 Alter Column Id Autoincrement(RLMax,1)"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
I realize we don't want to depend on the autonumber for anything other than a row identifier, but the table is setup that it is important for the rows to be sequential if the last record is deleted. Only if the last record is deleted.
I have a Microsoft Access database with SQL Server backend with 10000 records in my table, I have a autonumber field and in my database the purpose of the autonumber field is just to keep the record sequence (not to treat as a unique identifier) and I don't want to use a number field to manually enter the sequence. Whenever the record is deleted or the user won't save the record, it put gaps in the record sequence, Is there any way to refresh the autonumbers automatically "After delete confirm" event or "After Insert/update" even.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of reports that need to be printed, but only if they include a certain date. I want all of the dates to show up though.
For example:
There are 3 reports with a bunch of different dates in the bill date column.
Reports A and B include the date 04/30/2012, along with a bunch of other dates.
Report C does not include the date 04/30/2012.
i want reports A and B to open since they include the date 04/30/2012, and I want all of the other records with other dates to show up on the reports along with records with a date of 04/30/2012. I do not want Report C to open at all.
I have a report that is based on a query. The query has filters in it based on user info entered from a form. So the form asks the user to select which division of the company, and the date range for when the info applied to. My issue is that I am trying to set a macro that opens this form whenever some tries to open the report.
But the macro appears to run the query before it opens the form and it gives me a generic message box asking for the division. After I type that in (instead of selecting from a drop down list like I have on my form) another window pops up asking for start date, etc...instead of opening the form I created. What am i doing wrong and how do I get the macro to open my form? If I open the form directly and enter the criteria, it runs the report correctly.
I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.
When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.
I do not understand why?
I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....
Without having made any changes to my setup, Access now crashes when I try to open a Macro in design view. I have checked the Trust Center and the folder where my database is stored is trusted (including sub-folders).
I am running Office Pro 2013 with Windows 8.1.
I have two tables - one with parent Records, the other with child records. The ID links the two tables .I want to add a sequence number on the child table which resets at each ID change. What would be the best way to accomplish this?
Code:
PC_ID ID Name Address
P 1 Parent1 Address1
P 2 Parent2 Address1
PC_ID ID Name Address SEQ
C 1 Child1 Address1 1
C 1 Child2 Address1 2
C 1 Child3 Address1 3
C 1 Child3 Address1 4
C 2 Child1 Address1 1
C 2 Child2 Address1 2
C 2 Child3 Address1 3
I have a VBA program which is stored in an Access database. The program creates letters using Word template documents as well as new Excel sheets. When one of the users in my team undertakes this process she is unable to create the files (although she could before). The following error message occurs initially for the word documents:
"The document could not be registered word 2010. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to the document"
When I enter debug and attempt to run the code again the file opens but subroutine halts again and I get a different message:
"Could not open Macro storage"
The line of code which is identified for both errors is:
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(TemplateLocation)
Where wdDoc is the a Word.Document, wdApp is a Word.Application and TemplateLocation is the path for the template
I have already checked the following:
- 'Trust access to the VBA project object model' in the Trust centre is ticked and Macro Security is set to none.
- DCOM Server Process Launcher is set to automatic in Services (Local)
Is it possible to have a running total either in a query or using the Running Sum function on a text box on a report that will reset after a specific value. Here is what I would like to have happen:
The RunningTotalCube field to reset when it has reach 2.3 or whatever number comes closest to that number.
Date Time Item Cube RunningTotalCube
4-2-15 12:05 15615 0.5 0.5
4-2-15 12:06 15918 0.8 1.3
4-2-15 12:10 98563 0.5 1.8

4-2-15 12:15 25854 0.9 0.9 {reset}
4-2-15 12:17 75136 0.5 1.4
Is this possible either in the query or the report/in Access or in VBA?
I have a macro set to email a form to a person once a condition is met. This works fine but I've discovered that Outlook (2010) has to be open BEFORE this macro is invoked.
I wanted to add a step to the macro before the one that makes it email that basically says to open Outlook.
I have tried the RunApplication macro, but I apparently am not getting the path right. I don't understand what the problem is.
I accidentally dragged Outlook to my desktop and therefore created a shortcut from my Start Menu, but now when I go to Microsoft Office in my Start Menu, Microsoft Outlook isn't one of the options. I can't find the path to where it may reside now.
I am using the path to the shortcut on my desktop.

What else am I supposed to do?
Let's say I have a query on a form that returns results. Is it possible to double-click a record in the recordset and open a form.
I am currently doing this just fine from a listbox, but am wondering if it is possible from a query.
Hello all, I posted this earlier but got no response, please help!
I have the following event procedure in my Reset button on my form:
Private Sub cmdClearAll_Click()
' Clear All TextBoxes and Set all Check boxes to false (no tick)
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
ctl.Value = ""
ElseIf ctl.ControlType = acCheckBox Then
ctl.Value = False
End If
Next ctl
Set ctl = Nothing
End Sub
I also have a macro on my execute button which opens another form, Form B, runs the query behind the new form and closes the query.
I noticed that when I open my current form, Form A, click the reset button to clear all the fields and then fill in a few fields or leave the fields blank and then click the Execute button. The query does not run at all and Form B opens up blank with no data populated. Do you know why? But if close the form and reopen it and click the execute button, it works okay? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Please help
Thanks for your help.
